00:00:00.000 Hello America, welcome to Tuesday. We've got a lot to cover today. We're going to start with
00:00:04.620 some audio from Rachel Maddow, then Mike Lindell and Jim Acosta from CNN. That brings us to a

00:02:02.140 All right, I want to start with some audio first. Let's go with Mike Lindell. Mike Lindell,
00:02:10.420 who is going to be my guest on the Saturday podcast this week. He is the guy who started
00:02:16.800 my pillow. He is an absolute character. This guy was a crack addict. He invented my pillow. He
00:02:26.460 almost died. He cleans up his life. He's got an incredible life story. And he operates at a very,
00:02:34.740 very high speed. I've never met anybody quite like Mike Lindell. And you will feel the same when
00:02:42.340 you're listening to the podcast this Saturday. By the way, if you're a Blaze subscriber, thank you.
00:02:47.400 It comes out on Thursday. You'll be able to watch it on Thursday. All right. So Mike yesterday was
00:02:55.640 brought up along with Procter and Gamble and somebody else. They're making all of these new
00:03:00.960 products. So he was thanking the private companies that are now stepping to the plate to help make
00:03:08.640 ventilators and everything else. And Mike's company, MyPillow, is now making masks. And
00:03:15.780 at one point, he said, I just did your mind, Mr. President. And he just hijacked the press conference.
00:03:21.620 And the president just stood behind him and smiled and went, go ahead, Mike, because that's the way
00:03:25.500 Mike is. Here's what he said. Now I wrote something off the cuff, if I can read this.
00:03:32.180 God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on. God had been taken out of
00:03:39.720 our schools and lives. A nation had turned his back on God. And I encourage you to use this time at home
00:03:46.300 to get back in the word, read our Bibles and spend time with our families. Our president gave us so much
00:03:53.700 hope, where just a few short months ago, we had the best economy, the lowest unemployment and wages
00:03:59.040 going up. It was amazing. With our great president, vice president, and this administration, and all
00:04:05.460 the great people in this country praying daily, we will get through this and get back to a place
00:04:10.640 that's stronger and safer than ever. All right. So there's Mike. We're going to talk to him about
00:04:16.560 this moment in what, about 90 minutes or so. He's going to be at the hour bottom, the bottom of hour
00:04:23.880 three today. We're going to talk to him live. And then he's going to be on the podcast on Saturday. But
00:04:30.000 the press went crazy for this. Crazy. Oh, crazy Mike talking about God. This is the problem. This is the
00:04:42.140 problem. If we are so lost and we can't even tolerate someone saying, you know what? We should
00:04:52.540 pray more. If that's just so outlandish, we are lost as a nation because that is what made us great.
00:05:00.800 You want to make America great again? Let's go back to remembering God and his true principles.
00:05:07.520 Now I'm not talking about religion. I'm talking about God, Franklin's God, Franklin. When he said
00:05:14.440 there is a God, he'll judge us. So we should serve him. And the best way to serve him is to
00:05:19.140 serve our fellow man. That's the American religion. If we could just get back to that and not mock and
00:05:27.620 ridicule what used to be sacred and still is for millions of Americans. You know, if, if we would
00:05:35.960 actually take seriously the call for fast and prayer and everything else, maybe, maybe we would
00:05:43.740 be, um, maybe we'd be handling this better. I don't believe that this is a, uh, a punishment for God.
00:05:51.060 I think, uh, from God, I think, I think God is, um, God's like an electric fence. You know, he's,
00:05:58.420 he's, he's, he's telling you right now, there's electricity through that and don't touch it. If you touch
00:06:05.500 it, you're going to get shocked because that's just the way electricity works. He set this system
00:06:10.340 up to work a certain way. You touch the fence, you're going to get shocked. I told you not to do
00:06:15.680 it. It's not a punishment. You shouldn't have touched the electric fence. He told you not to
00:06:20.540 that's, that's what's happening to us right now. And we're not living certain principles. And I think
00:06:27.240 we're paying the price for it right now. So that's the first place is the media takes Mike Lindell
00:06:35.400 absolutely apart, but the media is so arrogant that they, they don't even, they don't even realize
00:06:45.460 how far off the beaten path they are. Let me go to Rachel Maddow. Here's Rachel Maddow last week
00:06:51.580 talking about how Trump is wrong. In terms of, uh, the happy talk we've had on this front from
00:06:59.020 the federal government, there is no sign that the Navy hospital ships that the president made such
00:07:03.300 a big deal of the comfort and the mercy. There's no sign that there'll be anywhere on site helping
00:07:08.560 out anywhere in the country for weeks yet. The president said when he announced that those
00:07:14.140 ships would be put into action against the COVID-19 epidemic, he said one of those ships would be
00:07:18.960 operational in New York Harbor by next week. That's nonsense. It will not be there next week.
00:07:25.420 Hmm. That was last week and yesterday, uh, it arrived. Um, they had to dredge the river and the
00:07:32.260 harbor to be able to get it in, but somehow or another, they got it in. I'm, I'm, I'm waiting
00:07:38.140 for the correction and the apology from MSNBC, but it will not come. Then Jim Acosta talked to the
00:07:47.540 president and, uh, ask the president a question. Here's what he said. Go ahead. Let's give it a
00:07:53.520 shot. What do you say to Americans who are upset with you over the way you downplayed this crisis
00:07:59.920 over the last couple of months? Uh, we have it very much under control in this country. The
00:08:05.160 coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. It's going to disappear. It's like a miracle.
00:08:09.760 It will disappear at March 4th. Uh, we have a very small number of people in this country infected
00:08:15.840 March 10th. We're prepared. We're doing a great job with it. It will go away. Just stay calm. It
00:08:21.680 will go away. What do you say to Americans who believe that you got this wrong? And I do want
00:08:26.620 them to stay calm and we are doing a great job. If you look at those individual statements, they're
00:08:31.940 all true. Stay calm. Uh, it will go away. You know, you know, it is going away and it will go away and
00:08:38.400 we're going to have a great victory. And it's people like you and CNN that say things like that,
00:08:43.980 that, uh, it's why people just don't want to listen to CNN anymore. You could ask a normal
00:08:48.860 question. The statements I made are, I want to keep the country calm. I don't want panic in the
00:08:53.940 country. I could cause panic much better than even you. I could do much. I would make you look like a
00:08:59.140 minor league player, but you know what? I don't want to do that. I want to have our country be calm
00:09:04.280 and strong and fight and win and it will go away. And it is incredible. The job that all of these
00:09:11.260 people are doing, putting them all together, the job that they're doing. I am very proud of the job
00:09:16.260 they're doing, that Mike Pence is doing, that the task force has done, that Honeywell and Procter and
00:09:22.420 Gamble and Mike and all of these people have done. I'm very proud. It's, it's almost a miracle and it is
00:09:28.780 the way it's all come together. And instead of asking a nasty, snarky question like that,
00:09:34.760 you should ask a real question. And I think he's absolutely right. And so there are people that
00:09:42.820 are asking real questions and I don't, I mean, we've gone back and forth on this. Um, and we're
00:09:48.180 going to know the answer in a couple of weeks, but I, I don't understand those people who were
00:09:53.960 disappointed, uh, yesterday that the president gave in, uh, and is buying into these numbers,
00:10:02.100 uh, and why he's closing out. Let me tell you why the president kept things closed. First of all,
00:10:08.520 uh, the two doctors came in to his, uh, into the oval office on Sunday and laid out these charts on the
00:10:16.520 resolute desk and said, Mr. President, here are the facts. Here is the projection of what is coming.
00:10:24.540 If we stay the course, here are the projections. If we don't stay the course, here's what we're
00:10:29.900 looking at. And best case scenario, we're looking at probably a hundred thousand dead, maybe 200,000
00:10:36.160 dead in the next week. If we, in the next two weeks, if we stay the course, the president saw that
00:10:42.240 and said, I don't think there's a choice here. There's not. And here's why the president didn't
00:10:47.720 want to be Arthur Newsholm. Who is Arthur Newsholm? Let me take you back to 1918 and the Spanish flu.
00:10:59.380 It's hard to fathom what the Spanish flu was like. Remember, this is at a time where microscopes
00:11:04.640 couldn't see viruses. So you were really talking about an invisible, uh, enemy here. They could
00:11:11.820 scientists couldn't see it. It killed an estimated 20 to 50 million people. We, we don't know exactly
00:11:20.000 the number because we couldn't count all of them fast enough. There wasn't the systems that we have
00:11:25.320 now, but we do know it killed more than all of the soldiers and civilians killed during world war one.
00:11:33.060 Now the Spanish flu, it came March, 1918. The first thing it's showed up like a seasonal flu.
00:11:41.500 It was highly contagious. It was a virulent strain. The first case was an army cook, uh, in Kansas and
00:11:48.840 he was hospitalized with 104 fever and it spread through the camp in, uh, in Kansas. In no time in
00:11:59.200 a month, 1100 troops had been hospitalized and 38 died after after pneumonia. It was an estimated
00:12:07.660 three quarters of the French military that was infected in the spring of 1918, half of the British
00:12:15.140 troops. And that wave was not deadly. That wave was, I mean, not particularly deadly. That wave was a
00:12:23.180 lot like this wave. So symptoms were high fever. It lasted about three days and it was like the seasonal flu.
00:12:33.880 So what happened? Well, it was the summer of 1918 at the beginning of August, the virus had run its
00:12:43.160 course and everybody said it was over. It was the calm before the storm somewhere in Europe, a mutated
00:12:50.760 strain of the Spanish flu virus emerged and it had the power to kill healthy young people and old people
00:12:58.820 and middle-aged people. So from September to November of 1918, the death rate from the Spanish flu went
00:13:06.920 through the roof. In the United States, 195,000 Americans died from the Spanish flu in just the month of
00:13:16.440 October. Now the spread of the Spanish flu was blamed on the public health officials unwilling to impose
00:13:27.840 quarantine during wartime. In Britain, the guy who got the name of Dr. Death, if you will, was Arthur
00:13:37.380 Newsholm. He, he knew and had been informed that a full civilian lockdown was the best way to fight the
00:13:46.360 spread of this disease. And he knew it. And he said, I can't.
00:13:52.440 There's a war going on and we have to have all of the armaments. We can't stop the war. And so he said,
00:14:02.600 you can stay home if you want, but everyone who is working on the war, which is almost everybody,
00:14:08.980 you've got to carry on, keep calm and carry on. Arthur Newsholm is the reason why this spread
00:14:19.480 was way out of control. That and the Red Cross refusing to use African-American nurses.
00:14:27.540 There was a shortage of nurses at the time because most of them were overseas.
00:14:32.220 Then they started dying and the Red Cross was still saying, no, we can't have African-Americans
00:14:38.340 work on the floor with sick people. Oh my gosh, you'll get even more sick.
00:14:43.980 Those are the two reasons. Well, we're not worried about anybody, you know, their skin color when
00:14:50.480 they're a nurse. We got that one down. The president didn't want to be Arthur Newsholm and he was right
00:14:58.220 to do it because as he said, the worst thing that could happen is to declare victory like they did
00:15:06.900 in 1918, only to have it come back and be worse. More in just a second.
00:15:17.140 And we've got to talk about the Tiger King today. It's crazy, crazy.
00:15:25.020 All right. There is an evil that stalks your bedroom in the deep hours of the night and it

00:15:50.200 I like light pollution myself. I used to sleep in New York with the with the windows wide open

00:16:04.060 have shades and and curtains now. And I mean, I swear to you, it's like living in World War Two.

00:17:05.640 Oh, so, Stu. How do we get past this?
00:17:25.000 This because I don't understand it. Do people think that Donald Trump has been duped?
00:17:30.020 Or do people think that Donald Trump would not do anything to keep the economy going?
00:17:36.940 I'm trying to understand my friends who are really smart. For instance, Steve Dace.
00:17:42.480 He's all over this that we have we have killed the economy for no reason.
00:17:48.700 Yeah, I just I don't think he'd characterize it that way. But yeah, I mean, I know he is very concerned
00:17:53.540 about the economy and as opposed to this and thinks we just have to factor it into, I think, the way
00:18:00.260 we deal with things that are destructive to human life all the time as part of our daily lives. It's
00:18:06.000 something we have to recognize. And he thinks maybe we've overreacted on this one.
00:18:10.940 Here's where I here's where I keep going. And I know that Steve is is, you know, he's aware of this as
00:18:17.100 well. But the collapse of the health care system, just because of the collapse of the health care
00:18:22.640 system, I believe that would lead to socialized medicine. We would not have a chance of having
00:18:28.900 privatized medicine if that system collapsed, because everybody would say, see, it's not it's
00:18:34.220 not working. This is giving us a chance to show the private sector and show what it really can
00:18:39.960 do. How do you how how how how do how do you explain to people the collapse of the health
00:18:50.440 care system and what that would do? Just the ramifications of that. Well, obviously, that
00:18:55.260 would be really bad. You know, one of the, of course, what people don't talk about is the
00:19:00.400 reason we don't have enough hospital beds in the first place is largely because of socialized
00:19:05.180 medicine. Right. Like back when it all it stems from a law back in the 70s that was passed because
00:19:11.540 first Medicare and Medicaid were passed and then they were afraid that that hospitals would build
00:19:17.720 too many beds because they knew the government were going to were going to pay for a lot of these
00:19:21.980 procedures. So the government limits how many beds are available because you have to go and get
00:19:29.040 approval to get new hospital beds because you never know you might charge the government too much
00:19:34.480 money for unneeded procedures. It's kind of like that old Barack Obama tonsil argument he made
00:19:41.080 where, you know, I guess people were just going to be removing tonsils like crazy to screw the
00:19:45.420 government over or something. And so we have actually lost. What's the number is? It's about
00:19:53.980 half a million hospital beds have been lost in this country since 1974, which is bizarre. You think we go
00:20:02.320 the opposite way? Yeah, because your population is growing. And what's really bizarre about that
00:20:09.920 is it's almost like the oil refineries. We're not building any new oil refineries and haven't
00:20:21.260 since the 1970s. You know, it's I mean, but it's hospital beds. Right. Hospital beds. Partially,
00:20:27.780 it's because also sort of the victim of capitalism's own success and that there's been so many medical
00:20:33.640 improvements that long hospital stays aren't as necessary as they once were. So that's also part
00:20:39.760 of the reason. But generally speaking, this is something that could have been solved by the free
00:20:44.120 market, but it wasn't because the government literally makes you ask them whether you can build
00:20:49.880 a new hospital and put new beds in it. You have to get their approval and you have to designate that
00:20:55.120 a certain community needs, quote unquote, needs the hospital. I think people, you know, you see a
00:21:00.360 situation like this and there's there's a little bit more need than I think the government tried to
00:21:03.660 estimate. All right, back in just a second. Pat Gray is going to be joining us. The Tiger King. Yes,
00:21:12.000 the Tiger King coming up. You're listening to Glenn Beck.
00:21:19.540 There is a there is a short term T-bill auction going on right now that is terrifying. The government
00:21:28.340 is is selling treasuries like nobody's business. Nobody's business. It is going to devalue the dollar.
00:21:36.860 It is why there is a shortage of gold. I can't believe I'm saying this. There is a shortage of
00:21:42.060 gold right now. Getting your hands on physical gold is all but impossible at many places. Gold line

00:22:38.620 at Amazon dot com and Glenn Beck dot com.
00:22:46.460 Tomorrow at nine p.m. Eastern, our response to the coronavirus has crippled the economy.
00:22:51.560 Nearly three point three million people now out of work. But there's one group of Americans who
00:22:55.980 stand to profit off of America's demise. The incompetence of Donald Trump is on dangerous
00:23:01.120 display. Glenn Beck argues the stakes are too high. Americans need to fight together,
00:23:06.060 turn the economic engine back on and ask what's more dangerous, the coronavirus or the mainstream
00:23:11.320 media? America's most dangerous virus. The media tomorrow at nine p.m.
00:23:15.720 Eastern, only on Blaze TV. You don't want to miss that. Welcome to the program.
00:23:20.740 Glenn Beck, joined now by Stu Bergeer, our executive producer and host of Stu Does America and Pat
00:23:28.560 Gray, host of his own show. Pat Gray Unleashed. Hello, Pat. Hello, Glenn.
00:23:32.960 Do you remember the the couple that ingested the fish tank cleaner? I do last week. Yes. Tell me the
00:23:41.760 story. Tell me the story. The best of your recollection. Well, because Donald Trump made
00:23:45.840 it sound like the the fish tank cleaner was a cure for the coronavirus. They took it. They ingested it.
00:23:56.580 And of course, it nearly killed him. Now, that was that was basically OK from the media. All right.
00:24:04.660 So now the Washington Free Beacon has found their names. They established the identities through
00:24:10.880 descriptions in the local news reports. The pair identified as Gary 68, Wanda 61. Free Beacon is
00:24:18.260 withholding their identities at Wanda's request. However, the Federal Election Commission records show
00:24:25.040 that Wanda has donated thousands of dollars to Democratic electoral groups and candidates over
00:24:30.920 the last two years, including Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee,
00:24:35.680 Emily's List, a group that aims to elect pro-choice female candidates. And in fact, they her most recent
00:24:44.580 donations went on in February to a Democratic pact, the 314 Action Fund that bills itself.
00:24:54.160 Well, I'll tell you what it bills itself as in a minute. But according to the Free Beacon,
00:25:01.680 Wanda said that she and her husband are both Democrats. They're not Trump supporters.
00:25:06.520 They heard about the potential benefits of chloroquine, chloroquine, an anti-malarial drug in
00:25:12.020 news reports. She said decided at the spur of the moment to try taking it, but reach for the fish tank
00:25:18.440 cleaner in the pantry that contains chloroquine phosphate, a different and deadly form of the chemical.
00:25:26.520 Oops. She said, we're we're not big supporters of Trump, but we did see that they were using it in China and
00:25:33.500 stuff. And we just made a horrible, tragic mistake. It was stupid and horrible. We should have never done it,
00:25:39.380 but it's done now. And I've lost my husband and my whole life was my husband. We didn't think it would
00:25:45.680 kill us. We thought it would help us because that's what we'd been hearing on the news.
00:25:52.000 We saw Trump on TV, on every channel and all of his buddies, that this was safe, she said.
00:26:00.420 Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure.
00:26:06.360 She said you shouldn't believe anything that this president says.
00:26:13.360 By the way, the PAC that she donated a lot of money to here recently was the 314 Action Fund
00:26:21.460 that is billed as the pro-science resistance group.
00:26:28.700 Are they resisting science? Because that would actually fit.
00:26:31.340 I think they are. I think they are.
00:26:35.100 She said, don't believe anything this president says to people.
00:26:39.500 She's in shock still over her husband's death.
00:26:42.000 We were having the best day before it happened.
00:26:44.180 I made him his favorite lunch. Grilled steak and asparagus and red potatoes.
00:26:47.420 We were just having the best Sunday.
00:26:49.740 And that's when I went
00:26:51.100 and got the chloroquine phosphate.
00:26:56.640 Which is not
00:26:58.020 what the president was talking about.
00:26:59.940 No. Not at all.
00:27:01.440 He never told anybody to take the fish tank cleaner.
00:27:04.380 Don't do that. Right.
00:27:05.720 Nor did he say it was a cure, even in the right form of it.
00:27:08.420 He said they were going to test it and he was hopeful.
00:27:10.640 Yeah.
00:27:10.820 Now, you know, it's really interesting.
00:27:13.280 And he also said, talk to your doctor.
00:27:15.720 Talk to your doctor.
00:27:17.980 What's interesting is there's two there's two quotes from her.
00:27:21.800 First one is from the Washington Free Beacon.
00:27:24.100 She decided at spur of the moment to try taking it,
00:27:27.860 but reach for the fish tank cleaner, phosphate, blah, blah, blah.
00:27:31.420 Different from the chemical.
00:27:32.640 She said we weren't big supporters, but we did see that they were using it in China and stuff.
00:27:38.460 We made a horrible, tragic mistake.
00:27:40.400 Okay.
00:27:41.000 That's in the Washington Free Beacon.
00:27:43.220 Here's the interview with NBC.
00:27:46.400 In the NBC, she said, she said, don't take the president's words.
00:27:52.380 Oh, my gosh.
00:27:53.040 Don't take anything.
00:27:54.360 He says don't believe anything that the president says and his people.
00:27:58.540 So I'm I'm wondering why she didn't say that to the Washington Free Beacon or if she were was prompted into that or she's trying to make herself feel less stupid by blaming it on the president of the United States.
00:28:14.560 I'm going with that.
00:28:17.620 Yes, I'm going with the latter.
00:28:20.320 She's trying to make herself feel less stupid.
00:28:23.480 She also knows who she's talking to when she's talking to them.
00:28:27.160 I mean, the NBC people are going to be more receptive to the don't listen to anything the president says than the Washington Free Beacon is.
00:28:34.660 But, yeah, I missed the speech where the president said, hey, if you have a fish tank, you know, you ought to do is run over and grab and grab the cleaner and just ingest it.
00:28:50.260 And then you'll be protected from the coronavirus.
00:28:52.620 Go ahead and do that.
00:28:53.560 Well, I mean, like we all know that you can eat fish, but you don't go to your fish tank and eat the fish out of there.
00:28:58.120 No, you don't.
00:28:59.180 You don't just go to fish tank.
00:29:00.920 Like, there happens to be a similar word that happens to be associated with a fish tank.
00:29:06.020 That doesn't make it okay to eat.
00:29:07.480 No.
00:29:08.040 That's right.
00:29:08.400 General rule of life.
00:29:10.400 Yeah.
00:29:11.480 I mean, if it really is sad, you know, there's speculation.
00:29:14.980 I know at the beginning of this, they're like, it just sounds like she just killed her husband.
00:29:18.440 And it's like, well, I don't know if there's any evidence of that.
00:29:22.520 Assuming that everything was on the up and up.
00:29:24.340 It's just, it is a really tragic story of someone who really was a victim of their own stupidity.
00:29:31.320 And it is really, really sad.
00:29:33.620 But, you know, the way that it's, you know, it's just so bizarre coming from a person who is making a big political point out of it.
00:29:40.060 I can't imagine if I just lost my husband that I'd be sitting here going like, the American people should not be complaining, listening to this president.
00:29:47.000 This president is not trustworthy, and I believe you should donate to it.
00:29:50.680 It just doesn't seem, it seems like a very, it's a very shady story.
00:29:55.400 The whole thing.
00:29:56.400 Is it not?
00:29:57.180 It is.
00:29:57.900 I think it is.
00:29:58.740 Yeah.
00:29:59.460 You bet.
00:29:59.980 Have you been watching the Tiger King?
00:30:01.980 I haven't yet.
00:30:03.000 I do want to.
00:30:04.000 Because that sounds like somebody, yeah, that sounds like something somebody would say that's been watching the Tiger King.
00:30:08.920 Because that thing is insane.
00:30:14.420 And you find out that, I mean, early on, that the Tiger King is in jail, I think, we don't really know.
00:30:25.040 At the beginning, you find out that he's in jail, and it's because he put a hit out on this woman who is trying to shut his tiger camp down.
00:30:36.280 Uh, she's in Florida, and she rescues tigers, and she's putting them in really crappy cages.
00:30:44.620 I mean, his place is nice compared to hers, and she's like, oh, you can't keep animals in cages, and she's got them all in these really crappy cages.
00:30:52.720 Anyway, apparently he was trying to kill her, but then you find out that her really rich, you know, millionaire husband just disappeared.
00:31:02.980 Uh, and, uh, and they've never been able to find the body, and they say that maybe she killed her husband and fed him to tigers.
00:31:13.640 It's the craziest one.
00:31:16.060 You watch this, and you're just like, I don't, I, I've never seen a bigger freak show than this show.
00:31:25.360 It is, it is crazy.
00:31:28.540 Every 10 minutes, you think, okay, can't get worse than this.
00:31:32.740 10 minutes later, it's much worse than this.
00:31:36.580 It is, it's, it's Florida times a thousand.
00:31:41.700 And anybody who's ever lived in Florida understands what I'm saying.
00:31:45.340 Every crazy story ever that you've ever heard, somehow or another, is connected to Florida.
00:31:51.800 So, I mean, and there's actual murders going on, and we're making a reality series out of it?
00:31:58.660 That's the only way we get justice done anymore in this country.
00:32:01.740 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:32:02.420 Look at the, here's, here's the featured story, uh, the top of the page of, uh, the Blaze.
00:32:08.240 Popularity of Tiger King documentary prompts Sheriff to ask for leads in cold case of woman's missing former husband.
00:32:14.840 Mm-hmm.
00:32:15.920 I, I sort of, it's the only way we can do anything anymore.
00:32:18.100 Like, the legal system just sits around and waits for documentaries now.
00:32:21.120 Yeah, that's what we do.
00:32:22.280 We're like, oh, wait, what, R. Kelly did what?
00:32:24.200 Oh, wow, look at that documentary.
00:32:25.860 Let's get him in prison.
00:32:27.160 Oh, Bill Cosby did what?
00:32:28.440 Oh, okay, now it's time to go after him.
00:32:30.600 Oh, like, making a murderer is the same thing.
00:32:33.460 Like, you know, they, this guy had been in, you know, jail all this time, and, and it was this cold, you know, the case had already been decided.
00:32:39.520 And then they had to go back through it and look at it again because the documentary came out.
00:32:43.280 That's how we do it now.
00:32:44.720 The true crime, I mean, the true crime genre just drives our legal system.
00:32:48.160 If you guys have to just watch at least one episode, watch just one episode because you have to meet the Carol woman.
00:32:56.240 And the people who are, the people who are making this are genius because they're, they'll leave in footage of, of them, you know, at times like they're driving up to meet her for the first time.
00:33:10.260 And you just hear one of the cameramen or one of the producers go, well, she's dressed appropriately.
00:33:17.280 And when you see the camera come on her, it's just like, oh my God, you, you, you, you would not believe that this is as crazy as, uh, what's the group that did a spinal tap and a best in show.
00:33:34.400 Oh, like a Christopher Guest movie you're saying?
00:33:37.200 Yeah.
00:33:37.520 Okay.
00:33:38.480 It's as crazy as those people, but that's all make up.
00:33:42.600 That's all for comedy.
00:33:43.920 It has all of those characters in it.
00:33:47.200 It's insane.
00:33:49.600 It's insane.
00:33:51.000 We were talking about this too, that it's gotta be one of the larger sort of shared cultural events in a long time because, you know, when these things happen.
00:33:59.180 Yeah.
00:33:59.860 Like you have a totally captive audience.
00:34:01.700 Like when you hit one of these things, when you're, you're the big documentary that everyone's talking about or the big show that everyone's talking about on Netflix, it's already a big thing.
00:34:09.600 Right.
00:34:09.960 But now everybody's at home watching television.
00:34:13.040 Yeah.
00:34:13.240 Like, I mean, everyone is streaming Netflix at the same time.
00:34:16.480 You're going to have a hundred million people watch this.
00:34:17.820 You probably, it probably will go back to some of those old school TV numbers.
00:34:21.360 Yep.
00:34:21.600 Yeah.
00:34:22.300 Can you imagine if this was happening?
00:34:24.280 I, I contend this quarantine could not have happened 15 years ago.
00:34:29.180 If we all had dial up.
00:34:31.100 Before Netflix?
00:34:32.680 No.
00:34:33.320 Yeah.
00:34:33.440 Before Netflix and dial up.
00:34:34.920 Right.
00:34:35.140 Because unless Blockbuster was deemed essential.
00:34:39.400 Yeah.
00:34:40.880 I mean, you could just, you wouldn't, you couldn't have done it.
00:34:44.040 It would drive you insane.
00:34:45.620 Well, yeah.
00:34:45.940 That's why we're willing to give up our constitutional rights because we've got Netflix now.
00:34:49.600 I'll just watch Netflix.
00:34:50.820 I'm fine.
00:34:51.660 Yeah.
00:34:51.860 I'll stay home and watch Netflix.
00:34:53.860 Right.
00:34:54.000 Like, can you imagine how big the actual viewership numbers would be if we had the four networks,
00:35:01.480 the three networks or four networks, uh, and just regular television, how huge the numbers
00:35:08.100 would be.
00:35:08.780 Now these Netflix numbers have got to be outrageously huge.
00:35:13.060 And, you know, they, they don't, they don't share them.
00:35:15.920 So we may never know.
00:35:17.180 Thanks, Pat.
00:35:17.940 You can get Pat on Pat Gray Unleashed, wherever you, uh, grab your podcast worth a listen.
00:35:23.220 You can hear him live on blaze radio right before this program as well.
00:35:29.400 All right.
00:35:30.520 Um, Mike Lindell is going to be on with us in about an hour and a half.
00:35:33.960 You don't want to miss it.
00:35:35.180 Uh, he was with the president yesterday.
00:35:37.040 I want to talk to you a little bit about his company, my pillow.
00:35:40.400 I slept with my pillow last night.
00:35:42.460 It is the best pillow.
00:35:43.820 I can't believe I like it.
00:35:45.060 I'd really, I mean, I look at it.
00:35:47.020 I pick it up.
00:35:47.740 If, if I was buying it in a store, I would never buy it.
00:35:51.160 Cause I'd be like, this is not going to be the pillow I like.
00:35:54.280 I don't know why.
00:35:55.600 I don't know how, but it works.
00:35:58.480 Uh, and it stays fluffed all night.
00:36:01.420 Again, I don't know how it's like black magic, but also he has Giza.
00:36:07.400 These are Giza cotton, just the best cotton that you can get soft, durable, get softer.

00:36:41.440 The new book from Glenn Beck.
00:36:42.960 Pre-order now on Amazon.
00:36:47.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:36:49.260 So a, uh, an Australian astrophysicist has been admitted to the hospital.
00:37:11.620 Um, he was trying to, uh, design a necklace that would sound an alarm on facial contact.
00:37:20.700 So if you would touch your face or your hand would come close to your face, your necklace would sound an alarm.
00:37:27.620 He said, you know, I, I don't really have any experience in things like this.
00:37:36.460 Um, but I, I had this idea, uh, because I have this part that would detect magnetic field.
00:37:43.860 And I thought if I built a circuit, it could detect the magnetic field.
00:37:47.400 And we wore magnets around our wrists.
00:37:49.420 It would set off an alarm, blah, blah, blah.
00:37:51.520 However, I accidentally invented a necklace that buzzes continuously.
00:37:56.000 Honestly, unless you touch your face.
00:38:01.840 So, so I, I had to scrap that idea.
00:38:06.940 Now I'm quoting.
00:38:08.060 I had to scrap that idea.
00:38:10.260 And I was a bit bored playing with the magnets.
00:38:14.360 Uh, it's the same logic as clipping pegs to your ears.
00:38:18.480 I clipped them to my earlobes and then clipped them to my nostril.
00:38:22.360 And quote, things went downhill pretty quickly from there.
00:38:28.500 He said he placed two magnets inside of his nostrils and two on the outside.
00:38:34.260 When he removed the magnets from the outside of his nose, the two inside just stuck together.
00:38:40.220 Uh, at this point, my partner who works at the hospital was laughing at me.
00:38:44.160 I was trying to pull them out, but there's a ridge at the bottom of your nose.
00:38:47.920 You can't get past.
00:38:49.000 After struggling, trying to get the nostrils, uh, trying to get the magnets out of his nostrils
00:38:53.940 for 20 minutes, quote, I decided to Google the problem.
00:38:57.680 I found an article about an 11 year old boy who had the same problem.
00:39:01.940 The solution he found was more magnets put on the outside to offset the pole from the
00:39:08.980 inside ones.
00:39:10.160 As I was pulling downward and trying to remove the magnets, they clipped on each other and
00:39:15.580 I lost my grip.
00:39:17.100 Now those two magnets ended up in my left nostril while the other one was in my right.
00:39:22.540 At this point, still quoting, I ran out of magnets.
00:39:28.600 So he got pliers.
00:39:30.980 But every time I got the pliers close to my nose, my entire nose would shift towards the
00:39:35.420 pliers and the pliers would stick to the magnet.
00:39:37.700 He was admitted to the hospital and I think his inventing days are now behind him.
00:39:50.280 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
00:39:52.900 Hello, America.
00:40:01.280 Welcome to the program.
00:40:02.680 I want to start this hour with a look at America's second Great Depression.
00:40:08.200 Oh, Glenn, you're going to be, it's going to be so much fun.
00:40:11.060 No, it's not that it's not, it has nothing to do with coronavirus or the economic situation
00:40:16.860 at all.
00:40:18.020 But we're in the throes of it right now.
00:40:21.540 And I'll explain in one minute.
00:40:26.700 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:40:29.140 So first, let me, let me do, let me, let me spend just a second here on economics.
00:40:35.060 We have a treasury auction that is going on right now.
00:40:37.980 And what treasury auctions are is they, they, they auction off our debt into treasury bills.
00:40:44.940 And, you know, people buy that debt for anywhere from 90, 180 days to 20 years, 30 years.
00:40:53.500 We cannot sell these treasuries.
00:40:57.160 Okay.
00:40:57.300 Nobody's buying them.
00:40:58.700 The demand now is so huge from the government.
00:41:03.880 We have to have money and selling these T-bills with less than 1% interest owned to the buyers
00:41:11.360 is helping, you know, the government's coffers.
00:41:16.300 It's important to remember the government cannot print money.
00:41:19.860 That's what the Fed can do.
00:41:21.820 The Fed is a privately owned bank that, uh, that has government appointed directors
00:41:27.880 that they, that the banks choose, by the way.
00:41:31.680 So the government can only print debt and then it raises capital by selling that debt
00:41:38.000 to buyers who expect to be paid back generally with some interest.
00:41:41.600 So the, the Fed monetizes that debt.
00:41:44.920 They, they act as a buyer, a private investor, you know, and they, they take these treasury bills.
00:41:51.200 And right now investors are looking for some place to put their money for 90 or 180 days.
00:41:58.360 And so we are, we are just exploding right now in this treasury auction.
00:42:05.500 We are, we are selling debt like crazy.
00:42:09.160 All of it will be due again in 180 days.
00:42:13.360 All right.
00:42:14.800 So this is, this, this is how we're funding our government right now,
00:42:20.200 but only because the stock market is going crazy.
00:42:23.700 The most recent 30 year government bond auction was March 20th.
00:42:28.420 It had one buyer, one showed up and it was the federal reserve.
00:42:34.120 So once we get past this short term, we are in so much trouble because no one wants to buy
00:42:40.660 American debt anymore.
00:42:42.780 Once that happens, it all falls apart.
00:42:46.060 Kind of a problem, which brings me now to our sponsor this half hour.
00:42:51.820 And it is gold line.
00:42:53.220 I have been telling you about gold for a very, very long time.
00:42:57.780 Uh, I was telling you about gold when it was like 250 or $300 an ounce.
00:43:03.240 And it's no longer that in fact, gold is so hard to get ahold of.
00:43:08.680 Now, many places don't have gold.
00:43:11.760 They're, they're selling you paper now and saying, we will supply the gold and deliver
00:43:16.940 it as soon as we get it in.
00:43:18.900 But there's not enough gold on earth right now.
00:43:21.800 Uh, there, you know, you, you really have to be connected to have it.
00:43:26.660 Gold line is the biggest commodity dealer.
00:43:29.240 I think in the, in the United States, they're part of this big conglomerate that, that really
00:43:34.680 has access to all of the people who have gold in big holdings.
00:43:39.720 So they still have it.
00:43:41.300 There's a run on gold.
00:43:43.060 That should tell you something.
00:43:44.500 Uh, and they still have it.
00:43:46.400 You can get delivery right now.
00:43:48.560 If you call them at eight, six, six gold line, one, eight, six, six gold line.
00:43:53.680 Remember everybody's putting their money in those treasuries, but that's because they
00:43:57.800 need some place just to hold it through this, this, uh, the crisis.
00:44:03.160 Once this crisis is over, do you think they're going to buy 30 year treasuries?
00:44:07.640 Do you think they have that confidence to lock that money up that the United States is going
00:44:12.240 to pay him back in 30 years?
00:44:14.220 Good longer that one.
00:44:16.460 Gold line.
00:44:17.080 Call them right now.
00:44:18.200 Eight, six, six gold line.
00:44:19.420 Do your own homework.
00:44:20.320 Find out if it's right for you.
00:44:21.540 Eight, six, six gold line or gold line.com tomorrow at 9.
00:44:24.540 PM.
00:44:24.820 Eastern, our response to the Corona virus has crippled the economy, nearly 3.3 million people
00:44:29.800 now out of work, but there's one group of Americans who stand to profit off of America's
00:44:34.320 demise.
00:44:35.160 The incompetence of Donald Trump is on dangerous display.
00:44:38.900 Glenn Beck argues the stakes are too high.
00:44:41.180 Americans need to fight together.
00:44:42.600 Turn the economic engine back on and ask what's more dangerous, the Corona virus or the mainstream
00:44:47.900 media, America's most dangerous virus.
00:44:50.440 The media tomorrow at 9 PM.
00:44:52.220 Eastern only on blaze TV.
00:44:53.660 So I want to talk to you about the great American depression, the second American depression.
00:45:00.720 During the 1930s, we all know about the depression.
00:45:03.760 We know that we had 30% unemployment.
00:45:07.700 It was unlike anything we've ever experienced.
00:45:11.400 And during that time, people started to question the merits of capitalism and progressives of
00:45:17.700 the era, which were proudly socialists, proudly socialist and proudly many of them communists
00:45:24.700 decided that really it was the Soviet system that that would provide some answers.
00:45:31.280 This is before, you know, this is while the New York times was still hiding all the deaths
00:45:36.440 from, uh, from Stalin.
00:45:38.800 So membership in the communist party grew 10 fold during the great depression from 7,000
00:45:45.080 members in 1929 to 66,000 in 1939.
00:45:50.320 We didn't elect a communist, uh, but Franklin Roosevelt was clearly a socialist and the biggest
00:45:58.000 socialist we've probably had, uh, maybe up until, uh, uh, Barack Obama, the rise of that in
00:46:07.520 the 1930s is exactly the same without the 30% unemployment.
00:46:15.040 I have a book coming out, uh, next week, and it is one of the most important books I think
00:46:22.700 we have written.
00:46:23.760 Uh, it is arguing with socialists and we really, we did our homework.
00:46:30.200 We really tried to make this so it was fun to read, easy to read, have all of the answers
00:46:37.020 there.
00:46:37.680 It's our first all full four color, uh, book that we have done in probably 10 years, maybe.
00:46:45.800 Uh, and we did it.
00:46:47.540 We modeled it after arguing with idiots, uh, because that was so popular.
00:46:52.340 And so many people use that.
00:46:54.460 And the kids that I've heard in the last 10 years that said, I did my reports and schools
00:46:59.900 based on that and yada, yada, yada, because it has a hundred page of footnotes at the back.
00:47:06.680 You don't ever have to quote me.
00:47:08.400 You quote the New York times, or you quote the, the socialist or the communists or the radicals
00:47:13.680 themselves, because it's all footnoted.
00:47:16.160 Um, we decided to write this because I believe we are in a second great depression.
00:47:21.780 And again, it has nothing to do with, um, unemployment yet.
00:47:29.880 Look at the pattern in the 1930s socialists or the communist party grew tenfold in 10 years.
00:47:36.840 The democratic socialists of America membership grew almost tenfold over the last decade, around
00:47:42.880 5,000 members in 2009 and 55,000 members today.
00:47:49.720 Two months ago, you, you gov and the economist poll found 60% of Democrats under 30 supported
00:47:58.600 either Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.
00:48:01.160 Those are socialists.
00:48:02.760 If you feel relieved that Bernie Sanders campaign has tanked over the last several weeks, don't
00:48:10.820 feel relieved.
00:48:12.200 This is the calm before the storm.
00:48:14.460 He's the old guy.
00:48:15.880 The new generation is coming.
00:48:19.140 Bernie is not the vehicle that's going to take socialism fully mainstream, but somebody else
00:48:24.820 will, especially if we have 30% unemployment in this country.
00:48:29.760 Um, the growing coronavirus or the recession or the depression will only embolden the socialists.
00:48:41.060 So why is this?
00:48:42.860 Why did this grow without in one of the most prosperous times in our nation's history?
00:48:49.380 How did this grow?
00:48:50.800 Well, nobody talks about it, but it is the pathetic U.S. history and government education
00:48:58.340 that happens in our nation.
00:49:00.240 That's not to say that all history classes are all history teachers suck and are pathetic.
00:49:05.360 There are a lot of, you know, non-Marxist history teachers in public and private education
00:49:10.860 across the U.S., but I don't think they're even getting the right education.
00:49:14.860 In fact, I know it because of the work we do over at Mercury One, but typically just talk
00:49:20.560 about the students before a student graduates from high school, they might have two years
00:49:26.200 of U.S. history, one in middle school and one again in high school.
00:49:31.080 Maybe if they're lucky, they get a year of government, but that's it.
00:49:36.060 Remarkably, 82% of colleges do not require a single course in U.S. history or government.
00:49:44.860 So you can earn a degree in the United States and you don't have, you can earn a history
00:49:50.140 degree and you don't have to study America and American history.
00:49:57.620 Ronald Reagan said in his farewell address in 1989, he said, an informed patriotism is what
00:50:05.540 we want and need.
00:50:07.140 And are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents
00:50:12.740 in the long history of the world?
00:50:14.780 We've got to do a better job getting across that America is freedom, freedom of speech,
00:50:19.640 freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise.
00:50:21.420 And freedom is special and rare.
00:50:24.240 It's fragile.
00:50:25.160 It needs protection.
00:50:26.240 And if we forget what we did, we won't know who we are.
00:50:31.640 I'm warning of the eradication of the American memory that could result ultimately in the erosion
00:50:37.860 of the American spirit.
00:50:39.460 He's exactly right.
00:50:42.500 That's why I wrote this book.
00:50:45.080 Because we have no clue as to who we even are.
00:50:50.100 And what the truth is, no one's really making the case.
00:50:54.540 Socialism sucks.
00:50:55.600 It's not enough.
00:50:58.600 The embrace of socialism by the Democratic Party is real evidence that this eradication
00:51:04.640 of the American memory is happening now.
00:51:09.540 We're not taught to appreciate the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.
00:51:14.140 And when we don't know these things, we don't know why we came up with the system that we
00:51:20.680 did, which that system, even though it wasn't called socialism at the time, that system was
00:51:26.720 around.
00:51:27.280 That's what the French tried to do.
00:51:29.060 That's what our pilgrims tried to do.
00:51:31.660 It's what the earliest settlers in America tried to do.
00:51:36.860 When we don't know it, we can't defend it.
00:51:41.020 Then we have a half a century of our universities being run by Marxists, teaching Marxism, and
00:51:51.540 we call it education, and we're dumb enough to pay for this system.
00:51:54.940 We pay Marxists to re-educate our children.
00:51:58.160 It's the craziest thing.
00:52:00.420 So we have inadequate history.
00:52:03.180 We have inadequate civics education.
00:52:05.780 Universities stuff with the priests of progressive communist religion, churning out new disciples
00:52:13.200 every single day.
00:52:16.140 But there is even a bigger contributing factor to the Second Great Depression.
00:52:25.520 And it's a spiritual depression.
00:52:28.520 It is not economic.
00:52:30.020 It is the erosion of the traditional family, the lack of purpose, isolation, the diminishing
00:52:37.420 influence of religion.
00:52:39.300 Something has to fill this void.
00:52:41.340 Our kids are empty.
00:52:44.240 And when they are empty, they'll rush to something that gives meaning.
00:52:49.540 And we saw this in the 20th century.
00:52:52.000 In the early 20th century, the charismatic prophet of socialism comes around and he leads the youth.
00:53:00.020 And he leads them even into more despair.
00:53:06.160 America's spiritual anchor has always been Christianity or the Bible, the God of the Old and New Testament.
00:53:15.780 And that gave us meaning and identity and purpose.
00:53:20.380 And if we don't know these things, then we get to go find our own truth and our own meaning.
00:53:27.900 Don't follow your God, follow your heart.
00:53:30.000 How many of us have spent our lifetime following what we wanted to do, only to wake up one morning and realize our life was completely out of control and we just needed to turn it over?
00:53:42.880 We needed a higher power.
00:53:45.060 Every alcoholic that is currently sober is because they finally surrendered to not my way, his way.
00:53:52.520 And the follow your own calling, follow your heart culture, yields feelings above all else.
00:54:05.420 No political philosophy caters to feelings more than socialism.
00:54:09.380 It provides the clear villains, the rich and the corporations.
00:54:14.760 It provides instant solutions.
00:54:17.040 We'll knock those villains down by seizing the means of production, wielding the power of taxation.
00:54:23.300 Forget praying to God about anything.
00:54:25.300 Just let's get this bill passed.
00:54:27.640 Just pull the lever for your local socialists.
00:54:30.520 Got a student debt that you just can't do?
00:54:33.320 Fine.
00:54:34.320 Wiped away.
00:54:35.520 Can't make ends meet with a minimum wage job?
00:54:38.260 Don't worry.
00:54:38.980 Here's double the money.
00:54:40.640 Having apocalyptic nightmares about climate change?
00:54:43.920 Boom.
00:54:44.300 The Green New Deal is here.
00:54:47.820 But it doesn't work and it doesn't fulfill.
00:54:50.600 And once you realize that doesn't work, you become more and more angry.
00:54:54.380 Ever wonder why so many socialists are really angry?
00:54:57.260 It's because in the absence of God, pressure is put on his replacement to bring fulfillment and it doesn't happen.
00:55:03.880 And so there's got to be somebody standing in the way of making this utopia work.
00:55:08.260 It's those people over there.
00:55:10.420 This is how it ends every time.
00:55:15.200 The desperation that youth feel today is real.
00:55:21.640 It's real.
00:55:25.080 And we haven't hit real unemployment yet.
00:55:28.920 It is critical that we know how to argue against socialism.
00:55:40.380 It's critical.
00:55:43.320 Help us get the word out.
00:55:44.840 My new book comes out next week.
00:55:47.500 You can order it right now at Amazon.com or wherever you get wherever you get your books.

00:56:00.940 Read it to your children.
00:56:02.300 Give it to them.
00:56:02.840 It's like a comic book.
00:56:03.940 They'll like it.
00:56:05.440 And we saw with arguing with idiots the impact that it made on the next generation.
00:56:11.240 We've got to teach them the truth.
00:56:15.260 Get Arguing with Socialists Now.
00:56:17.800 New book by me out next week in bookstores.
00:56:21.300 But order it now because we ain't going to be hanging out at bookstores next week anyway.
00:56:25.980 Order it now at Amazon or wherever you buy your books.
00:56:28.420 So if you have to sell your home right now, holy cow, you might be afraid of the future.
00:56:43.040 What does it hold for the housing market?
00:56:45.720 If if I have to sell my house, I'd be sweating bullets.
00:56:51.340 If I had to, you know, I've got to sell.
00:56:53.260 I've got to move as soon as things open up.
00:56:55.220 What happens if there's a collapse?
00:56:56.980 Am I going to be end up upside down in the situation?
00:57:00.520 Could I recommend that you call my company realestateagentsitrust.com?

00:57:42.880 The name says it all.
00:57:45.560 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:57:46.960 Let's stop for 10 seconds.
00:57:50.080 Station ID.
00:57:50.660 Oh, my gosh.
00:58:08.000 Still, have you seen that the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi are already talking about the next stimulus bill?
00:58:15.520 Aren't they always?
00:58:16.520 They're always talking about the next one.
00:58:17.860 And when you give them one, they always have another one down the road.
00:58:20.640 Gosh.
00:58:21.160 Yeah.
00:58:21.500 And they've already spent over...
00:58:22.540 I mean, how is that possible?
00:58:23.760 Yeah.
00:58:24.760 Because, I mean, people don't even have the money from this one yet.
00:58:27.320 And it's interesting.
00:58:28.280 I know.
00:58:28.300 Because if you spend $2 trillion, you think that you're not going to have multiple millions of people unemployed, right?
00:58:38.020 I mean, that's the point of this.
00:58:39.720 Like, we all kind of understand, like the government is saying, you need to close down your business for this time.
00:58:45.500 We're all going to stay away from each other and stay home.
00:58:47.940 So, every business isn't going to go out of business unless we do something.
00:58:50.580 Okay.
00:58:50.980 So, we do something.
00:58:52.160 And then we're still getting multiple millions of people.
00:58:54.060 I mean, I can't even imagine what's going to happen this Thursday when the weekly numbers come out.
00:58:58.920 Not going to be pretty.
00:58:59.920 What do you think they are?
00:59:01.620 What do you think they're going to be?
00:59:03.200 I think they're going to be bigger than...
00:59:04.840 Bigger than last week?
00:59:05.640 I think they're going to be bigger than last week.
00:59:07.260 Don't you?
00:59:08.360 I've not heard any experts talk about this.
00:59:10.480 Yeah.
00:59:10.760 And I haven't either.
00:59:11.300 You know, the point of this bill is that, in theory, if you're a small business, you don't fire your employees.
00:59:21.900 Why?
00:59:22.440 Right.
00:59:22.880 Well, you have no revenue.
00:59:23.820 How can you pay them?
00:59:24.680 Well, the government is supposed to give you, quote unquote, loans in which you are going to pay your employee.
00:59:32.000 And now, if you pay your employee, they don't have to go on unemployment.
00:59:35.380 And that loan you've been given gets forgiven.
00:59:39.200 So, that's no longer a loan.
00:59:41.420 It's just us giving you a bunch of money to pay your employees, which makes some sense in this environment, I suppose.
00:59:47.280 Wouldn't you like to see the fine print on that one?
00:59:51.360 Would you like to see the fine print on that one?
00:59:53.580 Yeah, we know that, like, with airlines, it means that you can't oppose unions if you take the money.
01:00:00.300 If you take the loans, you can't oppose any union effort in the future until you pay it all back.
01:00:05.380 So, there's going to be probably strings attached to it.
01:00:07.380 It's not going to be pretty.
01:00:08.020 Oh, yeah.
01:00:08.760 It's got to be.
01:00:09.580 Got to be.
01:00:10.480 Macy's is furloughing 125,000 employees this week.
01:00:16.660 They said yesterday it's taken a heavy toll on Macy's.
01:00:19.640 I mean, does Macy's ever return?
01:00:23.020 I don't know.
01:00:24.700 I don't know.
01:00:25.300 I mean, they were really struggling.
01:00:27.240 That's Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Blue Mercury.
01:00:30.140 775,000 stores, 125,000 employees nationwide, all being furloughed, and they may not come back.
01:00:39.940 Their first problem is having 775,000 stores and only 125,000 employees.
01:00:44.200 It's a terrible business model.
01:00:45.700 Well, each one of them is running five or six stores?
01:00:47.800 That's a terrible idea.
01:00:49.220 No wonder they're going into business.
01:00:51.300 775 stores, 125,000.
01:00:56.980 That's a much better idea.
01:00:58.080 That would be a bad business model.
01:00:58.920 We can't figure out theft.
01:01:02.540 People just go in and steal us blind, walk out without finding a cashier.

01:02:38.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:02:51.820 So I'm, I'm, I was just looking up at the repo market for the Federal Reserve, you know,
01:03:01.540 because that's what I do, so you don't have to.
01:03:04.080 Last night, the Fed was offering up to $500 billion in liquidity, half a trillion dollars to the banks.
01:03:11.520 If they, if they didn't have enough money to, you know, to close their doors and open them the next morning,
01:03:18.800 they would, they would just loan them the, the money overnight.
01:03:27.080 Only $250 million pledged to the banks.
01:03:30.660 So $500 billion offered, only $250 million needed by the banks.
01:03:35.880 That's good news.
01:03:39.420 But does that mean that the banks are so clogged with cash right now, they literally don't need any?
01:03:44.920 Or is it that the Fed already owns everything, the treasury bonds and the mortgage-backed CDOs and everything else,
01:03:52.200 and it's willing to accept as collateral from Fed member banks, uh, treasuries?
01:04:01.020 The Fed's balance sheet, blah, blah, blah.
01:04:03.080 You don't need to know this.
01:04:04.020 Here's one thing they just announced, and, and help me out, Stu, because this gave me an, oh, dear Lord, moment.
01:04:10.960 Uh, let's see.
01:04:40.960 Including the U.S., treasury market, and thus maintain the supply of credit to U.S. households and businesses.
01:04:47.800 The FEMA repo facility will allow FEMA account holders, which consists of central banks
01:04:55.060 and other international monetary authorities with accounts at the Federal Reserve of New York,
01:05:02.420 to enter into a repurchase agreement with the Federal Reserve.
01:05:06.320 In these transactions, FEMA account holders temporarily exchange their U.S. treasury securities held with the Federal Reserve for U.S. dollars,
01:05:17.800 which then can be made available to institutions in their jurisdictions.
01:05:21.880 This facility should help support the smooth functioning of the U.S. treasury market
01:05:27.140 by providing an alternative, a temporary source of the U.S. dollars, other than sales of securities in the open market, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:05:34.140 So, so wait, so wait, are we buying back our own treasuries now?
01:05:41.420 Is the Fed going to the central banks around the world and saying, okay, we're going to give you cash,
01:05:49.460 just turn in your treasury and we'll hold your treasury bill?
01:05:53.860 Is that, is that, is that, is that, is that what's happening?
01:05:57.640 Are we, are we flooding the entire world with dollars now and buying back our own treasuries?
01:06:02.420 This is, we're definitely flooding the whole world with dollars.
01:06:05.920 I will say, I don't, I don't fully understand what you just said, to be honest about it.
01:06:12.100 It seemed like a very complicated transaction, which is probably why it won't make big news when it probably should.
01:06:17.640 Yeah, I'm, I'll, I'll get back to you on this, but I think this is a really big deal.
01:06:24.720 I have a feeling this is a really big deal.
01:06:27.880 Isn't that one of those things that they always said will never happen?
01:06:31.080 Oh yeah, of course, of course.
01:06:33.820 Why is the Federal Reserve now, are they the bank of all central banks around the world?
01:06:41.340 Is that what's happening now?
01:06:42.440 I mean, does this, does our central bank own all the other central banks?
01:06:48.940 I mean, what, what, what is happening?
01:06:52.400 Oof, listen, not a problem.
01:06:55.080 No, there's nothing to worry about.
01:06:57.460 Money safe, FDIC, all is fine.
01:07:00.460 It's all good.
01:07:01.960 We've got so much money right now.
01:07:04.440 You don't have to worry about it.
01:07:06.120 You'll be using the money, dollars.
01:07:08.320 We have enough for toilet paper soon.
01:07:10.860 Are you denying the reality, what we have right now, which is a bull market?
01:07:16.860 You know, I've noticed you, you haven't even mentioned that since it happened.
01:07:20.040 You know, we went, the shortest bear market in American history.
01:07:24.340 Yes.
01:07:24.920 We had a bear market.
01:07:25.780 Really? We're in a bull market?
01:07:26.640 We are.
01:07:27.620 Which is hilarious because we lost like 30% and then gained back 20.
01:07:31.940 And then they're like, well, you're in a bull market.
01:07:33.460 Congratulations.
01:07:34.240 I'm like, I don't think this doesn't feel like a bull market right now.
01:07:38.100 But apparently, technically, it feels like fake money.
01:07:39.660 Yeah, it feels like fake money.
01:07:43.140 Yeah, the people who I, you know, have my money in, you know, the stock market, they're calling me every day.
01:07:49.000 Glenn, you're missing, you're missing the upside.
01:07:50.820 Yeah.
01:07:51.620 Yeah, I know.
01:07:52.880 I know.
01:07:53.440 Kind of sucks.
01:07:55.720 Gee, remember when I talked about a melt up?
01:07:59.100 That this kind of feels like that.
01:08:00.980 Instead of a melt down, you have a melt up where stocks go through the roof.
01:08:06.100 Remember I said, you know, Dow 40,000 is possible and then it will melt down quickly.
01:08:13.980 Yeah, that's kind of.
01:08:16.160 I know.
01:08:17.040 I know.
01:08:17.660 I'm missing it.
01:08:18.660 Darn it.
01:08:19.200 I will say it was in that Dow 40,000 does not feel like it's coming around the corner anytime soon.
01:08:25.540 Especially this amount of money.
01:08:26.920 What?
01:08:27.700 With this amount of money?
01:08:28.700 Where do you think that money is?
01:08:30.460 Where do you think all of that money that the that the the banks got?
01:08:36.120 Where do you think they put it?
01:08:37.700 They they put it in the markets.
01:08:40.020 It's in the markets.
01:08:41.100 That's what's floating the markets.
01:08:44.520 Is that I mean, it's not even out really yet.
01:08:46.620 Right.
01:08:46.960 I mean, the the idea that it's coming is.
01:08:50.340 Yeah.
01:08:50.500 Well, there was that that was before, though.
01:08:52.160 That was before the bill.
01:08:53.340 Right.
01:08:53.920 The Fed money.
01:08:54.980 Well, no, the six.
01:08:56.880 Yeah, I think by a couple of days.
01:08:59.840 Right around the time of the you know, this this the the four trillion came right around the same time as the as the as the these numbers aren't even real numbers.
01:09:10.000 I like I feel like when I was a kid, that trillion seemed like a completely made up number.
01:09:14.440 Now it's like every other bills, another couple of trillion dollars.
01:09:18.440 Even the boring ones are trillions of dollars now.
01:09:21.580 It's like, no, it's not even a challenge to get up to the trillions.
01:09:25.680 When does it?
01:09:26.400 We mentioned it the other day.
01:09:27.580 There was a story that came out that actually mentioned quadrillion as a as a legitimate option, which was something to do with the derivative markets or something.
01:09:36.200 Yeah.
01:09:36.620 The CDOs, the thing that caused the problem in 2008, the CDOs, that was, I think, 50 trillion dollars in 2008.
01:09:44.000 It is now two hundred and fifty trillion or a quarter of a quadrillion dollars.
01:09:53.780 Not a problem.
01:09:55.020 I got to get something real quick.
01:09:56.320 I got it.
01:09:57.360 What could possibly go wrong?
01:09:58.920 I know that when you just constantly and it's funny because we've been talking about this and there's a big section in your book arguing with socialists that talk that talks about modern monetary theory,
01:10:08.880 which has been kind of this thing that's been tossed around, you know, nerdy intellectual economist circles for a while.
01:10:15.640 And it's been a big left wing push recently.
01:10:18.760 And we've talked about it and analyzed it and said it's not a good idea.
01:10:22.280 And then now we're just kind of doing it.
01:10:24.340 We're just going to give it a whirl.
01:10:25.600 See how it goes.
01:10:26.200 Thank you.
01:10:26.800 Let's try on that dress and see how it fits, because that is really where we are right now.
01:10:31.120 And we're just trying this whole different thing.
01:10:33.800 It's exactly what we're doing.
01:10:35.860 It's exactly what we're doing.
01:10:37.520 And I, you know, in the book, we have a whole chapter to modern monetary theory.
01:10:43.860 And, you know, we're explaining why it's so bad.
01:10:46.460 Eh, a little late to that, a little late to that game.
01:10:48.740 We're already doing it.
01:10:49.580 Not a problem.
01:10:50.760 Don't worry about it.
01:10:51.760 We didn't realize we were criticizing the United States of America's economic system when you wrote the chapter.
01:10:57.360 But I guess that's kind of the way it is, you know?
01:11:00.320 Yeah.
01:11:01.320 I have to, I, last night I started rereading Lords of Finance.
01:11:09.260 And this is something that came out around 2008.
01:11:12.240 And I read it at the time.
01:11:14.720 And I just, I just have to share some things with you.
01:11:21.960 The budget deficit in like this, like 1923 in Germany, budget deficit almost doubled to around $1.5 billion.
01:11:32.340 To finance this shortfall required the printing of ever increasing amounts of ever more worthless paper marks.
01:11:38.700 In 1922, around a trillion marks of additional currency was issued.
01:11:44.400 In the first six months of 1923, it was 17 trillion marks.
01:11:50.080 In the whole course of history, no dog has run after its own tail with the speed of the Reich Bank.
01:11:56.900 The discredit, the discredit the Germans throw on their own notes increase even faster than the volumes of notes in circulation.
01:12:04.560 The effect is greater than the cause.
01:12:06.680 The tail goes faster than the dog.
01:12:08.580 They had problems keeping up with paper mills.
01:12:13.060 Over the next few months, Germany's Germany experienced the single greatest destruction of monetary value in human history.
01:12:18.700 By August of 1923, the dollar was worth 620,000 marks.
01:12:23.940 By early November, 630,000,000,000 marks to the dollar.
01:12:30.360 A kilo of butter cost 250,000,000,000,000.
01:12:33.820 A kilo of bacon, 180,000,000,000,000 marks.
01:12:38.500 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:12:39.920 Then it goes into what happened.
01:12:43.400 How did this, how did this happen?
01:12:45.220 And it talks about the one official most responsible for the reckless policy of inflation was none other than Rudolf von Havenstein, the sober and dedicated president of the Reich Bank, who had disastrously overseen Germany's wartime finances.
01:13:03.100 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:13:04.340 He decided that he was just going to work, you know, alongside the government, but he hated the government and everything else.
01:13:10.540 So he found himself in the classic dilemma of the dutiful civil servant.
01:13:15.360 He's now working for a government, which he had little liking, one that was pursuing a social agenda he didn't believe in.
01:13:21.640 And he thought Germany could ill afford.
01:13:23.400 Worst of all, the government had decided to make its best efforts to pay the allies demands, the so-called policy of fulfillment.
01:13:30.100 Nevertheless, despite these fundamental disagreements, von Havenstein acceded to the government's request and allowed the Reich Bank to print money to finance the budget gap.
01:13:40.540 There's two reasons possible for his motives.
01:13:43.200 One, he deliberately engineered the whole monetary explosion as a way of destroying the financial fabric of Germany, a collective of self-emulation designed to prove to the allies that reparations were uncollectible.
01:13:55.200 Or, trained as a lawyer, he had learned the banking business during the gold standard era when the rules of monetary policy were dictated by the requirement that the Reich mark be kept convertible to a fixed gold equivalent and completely in the sea, the world not hitched to gold.
01:14:16.020 Were he to refuse to print the money necessary to finance the deficit, he risked causing a sharp rise in interest rates as the government scrambled to borrow money from every source.
01:14:29.280 The mass unemployment that would ensue, he believed, would bring on a domestic economic and political crisis, which in Germany's current fragile state might precipitate a real political convolution.
01:14:40.160 The prominent Hamburg banker, Max Warburg, member of the Reichsburg Bank, blah, blah, blah, whether one wished to stop the inflation and trigger the revolution, or do you continue to just print money?
01:14:54.900 So, we are in that exact same scenario right now.
01:15:00.600 Do we stop the heart, or do we print money?
01:15:04.360 Do you want to be responsible for all the jobs that will be lost in a possible revolution, or do you just print money?
01:15:12.680 The last line in this chapter is, they all believed that something would come that would change the factors and it would save them.
01:15:22.080 Unfortunately, what came was Adolf Hitler.
01:15:28.040 All right, data breaches can happen to anyone from the high-profile tech moguls down to the mom-and-pop shops and even down to individuals such as yourself.
01:15:39.740 Nobody is completely safe.

01:16:52.500 Arguing with socialists.
01:16:53.940 First of all, it's democratic.
01:16:56.040 The new book from Glenn Beck.
01:16:57.560 And the other thing, too, is that...
01:16:59.100 Is that you can pre-order it now on Amazon.
01:17:01.180 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:17:15.700 Let me go to Leonard, who's listening to us in California.
01:17:18.440 Hello, Leonard.
01:17:19.060 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:17:21.160 Oh, my gosh.
01:17:22.140 The great Glenn.
01:17:24.140 Glenn, I'm going to solve the question.
01:17:26.640 Well, I'm in California, Glenn, and you and I have talked about California before.
01:17:31.960 Yeah, all right.
01:17:32.480 In fact, Glenn, I don't want to embarrass you, but you owe me.
01:17:37.020 What do you mean I owe you a $4?
01:17:39.340 I called in and you said, based upon what I said, is that California had perfected the
01:17:44.880 denial of due process.
01:17:46.920 You said, I'm going to have somebody get back to you.
01:17:51.620 Glenn?
01:17:52.100 And I never did?
01:17:53.500 Yeah?
01:17:54.760 What's going on in this state, if people understood, if people in this state looked
01:18:02.100 at it, it's ugly.
01:18:06.060 And it revolves around regulation.
01:18:08.940 Yeah, I know.
01:18:11.680 You know, this time I'm going to say, we're not going to call you back, and then we'll
01:18:15.140 surprise you and have somebody call you back.
01:18:17.100 That way, I can continue this trend.
01:18:20.480 Leonard, thanks for your phone call.
01:18:22.660 Rich in Texas.
01:18:24.100 Hello, Rich.
01:18:25.980 Yes, hello.
01:18:27.720 Hi, how are you?
01:18:29.660 Doing well.
01:18:30.400 How are you?
01:18:31.780 Very good.
01:18:32.600 How can I help you?
01:18:33.320 Well, I was wondering, what is stopping the president or our government from printing
01:18:39.420 the U.S. note?
01:18:42.540 U.S. dollar?
01:18:44.360 It would be the Federal Reserve bill that was passed in, I don't know, 1913 or whenever
01:18:52.640 Woodrow Wilson signed it into law.
01:18:54.340 Well, as I understand it, and this is based on a theory I heard last night, that if you
01:19:02.560 look at a dollar bill now, you see at the top it says Federal Reserve Note, and it has
01:19:07.760 a green stamp, green serial numbers.
01:19:11.320 And a U.S. note would have a red stamp with red numbers on it.
01:19:16.440 And there's this theory that Trump is going to be issuing some kind of bill or something
01:19:27.340 to put these dollars back out there, and for every Federal Reserve dollar that comes
01:19:33.780 back in, they take it out of circulation.
01:19:35.940 Yeah, I wouldn't count on that, and I really hope that our president or Congress or anybody
01:19:45.380 doesn't just start printing new bills.
01:19:52.140 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:19:54.840 Well, hello, America.
01:20:01.840 We know that the progressives, the Democrats, have been asking for a third bailout bill.
01:20:11.380 We haven't even gotten the money out into the system, and they've been planning a third
01:20:16.440 one.
01:20:16.780 But the president just tweeted that he would like another bailout bill, but this one, he
01:20:25.580 wants $2 trillion.
01:20:29.180 So his opening is at $2 trillion for the next bailout, but this one's for critical infrastructure,
01:20:37.820 which I thought we took care of with the $775 under the Reinvestment Act that Joe Biden
01:20:45.080 was supposed to look at.
01:20:46.620 Did we not fix those bridges?
01:20:48.380 Now it's $2 trillion for yet another bailout, and I'm sure, I'm sure Nancy Pelosi and the
01:20:57.380 left, they're going to rein that back in.
01:20:59.840 You know, they're going to be like, hey, hey, hey, let's not be crazy with money.
01:21:03.760 I'm sure that's not going to easily go up to $3 or $4 trillion.
01:21:09.220 God help us all.

01:23:02.660 Okay, let's get this coronavirus update.
01:23:07.680 Total confirmed cases worldwide, 799,995.
01:23:13.400 That's up from 735 yesterday.
01:23:15.920 The confirmed deaths worldwide, 38,735.
01:23:21.140 5% of active cases are still considered serious, requiring hospitalization.
01:23:26.540 Note that 11% of U.S. confirmed cases require hospitalization, roughly on par with Italy at 12%.
01:23:34.280 The U.S. now has 164,359 confirmed cases and 3,173 deaths.
01:23:43.740 That is up considerably from yesterday.
01:23:48.040 We had 2,400 deaths as of this time yesterday.
01:23:52.760 Less than 0.6% of the total U.S. population has been tested.
01:23:58.320 15% of that 0.6% of America who have been tested have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
01:24:05.080 So, how did the president make this decision?
01:24:09.660 Apparently, it was Dr. Fauci, the chief medical advisor for the Corona Task Force,
01:24:16.520 and his cohort, Dr. Debbie Birx.
01:24:21.980 They went in, apparently, to the Oval Office on Sunday, leaned over the Resolute desk,
01:24:29.820 and put out all of the papers and showed all of the charts,
01:24:35.300 and then just stood there while the president looked at it.
01:24:40.280 Fauci said, interestingly, we showed him the data.
01:24:43.620 He looked at the data, got it right away.
01:24:45.660 It's a pretty clear picture.
01:24:47.680 Dr. Debbie Birx and I went in together, leaned over his desk, said, take a look.
01:24:52.660 The president reportedly looked at them, understood the implications,
01:24:57.500 and shook his head and said, wow, I guess we got to do it.
01:25:00.840 Medically, this is the right decision, and I stand behind it 100%, Fauci said.
01:25:07.060 From a public health standpoint, we felt strongly that it would have been wrong
01:25:11.080 to pull back at this point, where scientists, physicians, public health officials
01:25:15.400 were not economists, were sensitive to the idea that the economy could suffer,
01:25:19.900 but we weigh that against the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Americans' life.
01:25:24.460 It was blatantly obvious, looking at the data, that at the end of the day,
01:25:27.760 if we tried to push back prematurely, not only would we lose lives,
01:25:31.460 but it would probably hurt the economy as well, so we would lose on double accounts.
01:25:35.720 So there was no question as to what the right choice was.
01:25:39.720 Now, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Maryland have now joined the states issuing house arrest orders.
01:25:46.780 Maryland and Virginia became the latest states on Monday to enact a stay-at-home mandate
01:25:51.280 amid the coronavirus outbreak, except for essential travel for work.
01:25:56.660 Virginia's order is in effect till June 10th, making it one of the longest statewide mandates implemented so far.
01:26:04.100 Maryland's penalties for violating its owners are among some of the strictest in the country,
01:26:08.520 including a $1,000 fine and up to 30 days in jail for repeat offenders.
01:26:15.200 Holy cow.
01:26:16.320 In total, more than 210 million Americans now effectively live under some form of house arrest
01:26:22.960 or shelter-in-place type orders, with another 50 million facing travel or shopping or eating restrictions.
01:26:30.300 Only six states do not have closed schools.
01:26:35.300 Healthcare workers now using forklifts to load dead bodies into refrigerated trucks in New York.
01:26:40.960 Did you see this video, Stu?
01:26:43.320 Yeah.
01:26:43.940 This video is really disturbing from Brooklyn.
01:26:48.600 It was posted.
01:26:50.900 Do we have that video?
01:26:52.680 Can we run that here?
01:26:54.480 This video is, it was posted by a guy in, I think, Brooklyn,
01:27:00.880 who was just walking by and he said, oh my gosh, look it, it's this giant 18-wheeler
01:27:08.780 and they are loading dead bodies into it.
01:27:12.580 It's a refrigerated truck.
01:27:14.300 And you could see the camera start shaking and he says, I'm sorry, my hands are shaking
01:27:18.780 because this is, this is real.
01:27:22.700 This is no joke.
01:27:24.080 This is the Brooklyn hospital.
01:27:25.560 Uh, and he said, uh, this should make you take it seriously.
01:27:32.040 Now, can we play the, can we play the part of Ron Paul where he says this is not real?
01:27:40.800 I guess.
01:27:41.520 Can we play this?
01:27:42.180 I want to hear it for myself.
01:27:43.660 Well, I, I think it's blown way out of proportion to, to the danger.
01:27:47.140 And it seems that some people benefit from crises like this.
01:27:50.360 It's people who want more government power and more control over people and want to get
01:27:55.660 big appropriations and, and get their special deals passed.
01:27:59.740 And that's what's happening now.
01:28:00.960 Everybody's, it's a grab bag.
01:28:02.660 So it's, uh, it's being used.
01:28:05.300 Uh, and I, I don't see it as a, uh, as a problem dealing with one virus.
01:28:10.880 I think it's dangerous when people get the virus and they're already sick or elderly
01:28:15.680 and have other conditions, but, uh, I, I think millions of people probably have had the infection
01:28:22.420 and still do.
01:28:23.840 Uh, but it's used as an excuse by those who have a special interest, uh, to use that.
01:28:29.540 And, uh, I think that, that is sad, but, uh, hopefully they'll wake up soon and say, well,
01:28:35.760 it wasn't quite as bad as they thought.
01:28:37.860 Uh, and maybe it's a combination of the virus along with another disease or medication or
01:28:43.040 somebody's, uh, immune system.
01:28:45.560 That's the, that's the problem.
01:28:50.320 How much of that do you agree with still?
01:28:52.640 I mean, he's totally right that they're going to try to exploit the situation as much as
01:28:56.720 they can.
01:28:57.100 They've already done it multiple times and that's certainly going to continue.
01:29:01.560 $2 trillion infrastructure bill.
01:29:04.140 Now I do $2 trillion, that's, that's, this is insane.
01:29:08.480 Yeah.
01:29:08.620 And that's another one.
01:29:09.600 That's not the 2 trillion we've already spent or the two bills before that.
01:29:13.260 This is a new one that the president, and again, we should point out, this is not how
01:29:16.860 these things end, right?
01:29:18.060 As you kind of noted, this is the opening offer from the Republican side on a bill is
01:29:23.980 $2 trillion.
01:29:24.660 They'll go for more.
01:29:25.640 The, the Democrats will go for more.
01:29:27.880 Yeah.
01:29:28.040 I was looking, looking back at, um, you know, our notes from earlier.
01:29:32.040 Um, and I had this story.
01:29:33.360 This is a big, this is a big story at the time.
01:29:35.860 Chuck Schumer decided he, he had to go bold.
01:29:40.000 Uh, we, this is his quote.
01:29:41.300 We need to go big, bold, urgent federal action to deal with this crisis.
01:29:45.200 The kind of measures we're putting together with will mainline money into the economy
01:29:49.340 and directly into the hands of families that need it.
01:29:51.380 Uh, his proposal was for a $750 billion.
01:29:54.920 That was for the last bill that wound up at 2.2 trillion.
01:29:59.120 Chuck Schumer was asking for $750 billion and it ended at 2.2 trillion.
01:30:06.080 Now we have the Republican side starting at 2 trillion.
01:30:09.820 What's this one going to end up as?
01:30:11.580 I can't even imagine what this is going to be.
01:30:14.440 Holy cow.
01:30:16.220 How do we, we don't, we don't, how do we, I mean, this is, this is really concerning.
01:30:23.360 This is really concerning.
01:30:25.460 We are, we have crossed the Rubicon, I think.
01:30:30.360 We, we, we, we're, there's, there's no accountability anymore.
01:30:36.200 It's just, we're going to spend, spend, spend.
01:30:39.760 There's really no party that opposes the spending at this point.
01:30:43.820 I mean, at times in the past, Republicans have voiced opposition to the spending,
01:30:49.320 but they don't even voice it anymore.
01:30:50.760 The Democrats obviously have always wanted more of it.
01:30:53.460 So we are going into an era now that goes far beyond, you know, Keynesian economics,
01:30:59.340 but to the point of legitimate modern monetary theory.
01:31:03.820 I mean, we really are going to this place where whatever we want, we get by printing more money.
01:31:09.640 Let's see what happens.
01:31:11.080 You know, if people were making fun of Rashida Tlaib a couple of weeks ago
01:31:13.920 for saying that she wanted to get two $1 trillion coins to pay for the last bill,
01:31:19.780 which again, I don't understand.
01:31:22.060 Wait, wait, wait, wait, two, two $1 trillion coins?
01:31:28.080 Why not one $2 trillion coin?
01:31:30.320 I don't know the answer to it.
01:31:32.040 Well, I mean, I do.
01:31:34.600 That's clear.
01:31:35.640 That's clear.
01:31:37.020 I mean, you want two buyers.
01:31:39.400 I mean, the odds of finding one buyer for a trillion dollar coin, you know, is hard enough
01:31:44.920 to find one buyer for a $2 trillion coin and you cut down all the bargaining power.
01:31:50.840 Hey, buy one, get the second one half price.
01:31:53.340 Oh, yeah, that's true.
01:31:54.200 All of that stuff.
01:31:54.520 And I'll say, too, if you go in and try to buy something with it,
01:31:56.900 they're not going to have enough change for a $2 trillion coin, likely in most grocery stores.
01:32:01.060 Can you break a $2 trillion coin?
01:32:04.260 And they'll say, no.
01:32:05.260 Do you have a $1 trillion?
01:32:07.240 Oh, I don't.
01:32:09.600 Yeah.
01:32:11.600 I don't see what this is going to be.
01:32:13.180 Here's the fun part.
01:32:14.440 The $1 trillion coin is going to be our normal mode of currency.
01:32:19.160 Oh, yeah.
01:32:19.580 You're actually bringing to grocery stores very soon if we don't stop doing this.
01:32:24.240 Yeah.
01:32:24.540 No, it'll be the one with George Washington's head on it.
01:32:29.160 It'll be the quarter.
01:32:31.060 Except it'll be etched in by New York prisoners, $25 trillion.
01:32:37.860 I mean, this is, Glenn, this is unbelievable.
01:32:41.240 I understand we are in the middle of something serious.
01:32:44.000 I don't downplay it.
01:32:45.780 I mean, I think we have a couple weeks here to hopefully see that most of the models seem to peak the worst of this thing in a couple of weeks.
01:32:53.740 If that happens, you know, can we reverse it and all these things?
01:32:57.700 I hope so.
01:32:59.140 But the idea that we can just sit here and just spend our way out of it is not it's that's not how this works.
01:33:05.440 You know, there's not going to be a bridge is not going to solve the coronavirus issue.
01:33:11.100 You know, you don't do it by paving roads.
01:33:13.160 So so here's well, here's what the president may be looking at.
01:33:18.320 Last night, the Fed came out and said the job loss could be forty seven million people.
01:33:28.860 And unemployment may hit thirty two percent.
01:33:34.920 Again, I don't.
01:33:36.580 We just spent two trillion dollars to make sure that didn't happen.
01:33:41.900 Why did we spend the two trillion dollars if it were like these the bill itself?
01:33:48.240 Yes, it gives one to twelve hundred dollars to every American in a certain income bracket.
01:33:54.000 Everybody knows that part of it because it's the only part anybody's talked about.
01:33:57.140 But it also offers money to small businesses to pay the salary of your employees, the mortgages of your of your businesses.
01:34:04.360 All of the the tightly sort of associated costs that would come from your business operating in an environment where you're told you're not allowed to open it.
01:34:15.240 That's exactly what the bill does for small businesses.
01:34:18.240 And then larger businesses have resources and big loans and all sorts of things that are guaranteed.
01:34:24.380 And the the loans to small businesses, if you if you pocket the money, you have to pay it back.
01:34:30.860 OK, but if you pay it to your employees and you pay it for mortgage and you pay it for operational expenses, the bill is written in a way that those loans will be forgiven, which, of course, that's not a loan.
01:34:41.120 Right. It's it's it's a giveaway with conditions.
01:34:43.840 That's all supposed to be in here.
01:34:45.020 And it's supposed to protect against exactly what you're talking about.
01:34:48.460 It's not supposed to go.
01:34:49.360 Well, we should we should know that this week, shouldn't we?
01:34:54.760 We'll know more about it.
01:34:55.800 If we if we have a yeah, I mean, if we have another really horrible.
01:34:59.340 I mean, the problem is, is things like oil.
01:35:03.280 Do you do realize that oil may actually they may start paying you to buy a barrel of oil?
01:35:11.520 It may go below zero the price of oil.
01:35:15.500 And you would ask, how is that possible?
01:35:17.540 Because they're not stopping production in Russia or Saudi Arabia.
01:35:21.680 And so they're running out of places to hold it.
01:35:25.240 That's why your gas is that these people who bought the gas even a week ago, they're losing their shirts on the gas.
01:35:33.040 You know, they're charging ninety nine cents.
01:35:34.880 That's not what they paid for it when they pumped it into the ground.
01:35:37.600 And so they're losing their shirts.
01:35:39.220 But they're there's so much gas available and everybody's pressuring.
01:35:44.600 Take the gas.
01:35:45.660 Take the oil.
01:35:48.120 Well, at what price do we stop taking oil?
01:35:52.080 Because there's no place to put it.
01:35:54.320 I mean, it is it's remarkable on what is being done to really, truly you couldn't design an economic collapse any better than what than what we're doing all around the world.
01:36:08.580 And what all these countries and all of these huge businesses and governments, you couldn't design it any better than it has been designed so far.
01:36:18.140 All right.
01:36:23.420 Let me tell you about real estate agents.
01:36:24.840 I trust dot com the housing market right now.
01:36:28.060 We don't know when it comes back online what's going to happen.

01:36:33.220 Should you sell the house?
01:36:35.200 What what is this going to be worth anything?
01:36:38.600 Is it going to be worth more because of the the low interest rates?
01:36:43.280 We don't know.
01:36:44.740 The good news is all of this is going to pass.
01:36:47.100 And sooner, maybe maybe later, but probably hopefully sooner, America is going to get back on its feet again.
01:36:54.260 Real estate plans are going to be fine.
01:36:57.040 Whatever you're doing, you just need to have an expert with you.

01:37:34.220 Ten seconds.
01:37:35.740 Station ID.
01:37:48.820 So, Stu, this is why I watched the Tiger King last night, because it's true.
01:37:55.180 It just makes you feel so much better about everything else.
01:37:58.560 Because you're like, you think, really?
01:38:00.580 You think the government's out of control?
01:38:02.740 Look at these people.
01:38:04.240 Look at cat people.
01:38:07.200 That's a good way of doing it.
01:38:08.560 I think if you can kind of think.
01:38:09.660 It is.
01:38:09.940 You watch and you kind of put, you know, it's the same thing we were talking about a little earlier.
01:38:13.540 And then you have your ugly friend at the bar with you.
01:38:16.420 You look more attractive.
01:38:17.940 This is kind of your version of it, right?
01:38:19.520 You just sit back and you say, OK, at least I'm not this family.
01:38:23.620 At least I'm not this group of people.
01:38:25.240 I heard you last night describe Cuomo as the ugly girl that brings an uglier girl to the bar.
01:38:34.300 Yeah, you bring Bill de Blasio to the bar.
01:38:35.400 And that's why he's doing well.
01:38:36.220 That's why you look good, you know, because Bill de Blasio is so bad.
01:38:40.300 And honestly, it applies to Biden, too.
01:38:42.720 He's bringing the whole crew.
01:38:44.420 Biden looks like he can't even get through a sentence at this point.
01:38:47.680 It's getting worse and worse seemingly by the day with Joe Biden.
01:38:51.980 There's something wrong.
01:38:52.800 There's something wrong.
01:38:53.380 There's something wrong.
01:38:53.820 There's something wrong.
01:38:54.320 And they have to note it.
01:38:55.680 And then Cuomo, who at least like his actions have been complete failures, right?
01:39:01.140 He said, first of all, he mocked de Blasio and said, we're not closing the state down.
01:39:06.020 There's not going to be any shutdown order.
01:39:07.440 Three days later, he issued a shutdown order.
01:39:10.660 He has he his first attempt at handling this was to.
01:39:16.540 If you remember the stunt where he came out and did a press conference, well, we're going
01:39:20.980 to be making New York brand hand sanitizer with our inmates population.
01:39:27.220 We could do it at a lower cost.
01:39:29.920 And he went through this whole thing.
01:39:31.920 And he was like he had his hands and he's like rubbing his hands together.
01:39:34.580 He's like, oh, it's a very nice lilac scent and hydrangeas.
01:39:40.520 And then he reaches in the middle of a pandemic, reaches over and has the guy next to him smell
01:39:44.860 his hands, which is not what you're supposed to do.
01:39:50.140 Pandemic.
01:39:50.820 I mean, I know they say don't shake hands.
01:39:52.580 Also, don't sniff them.
01:39:54.440 It seems to be obvious.
01:39:56.800 You know, yeah, that's something that I've never had to say to somebody.
01:40:00.600 No, I'm not going to sniff your hands.
01:40:02.300 Right.
01:40:02.620 I mean, nobody's ever approached me and went smell my hands.
01:40:06.080 No, no, no, no.
01:40:07.800 I don't care who you are.
01:40:09.380 My mother.
01:40:10.360 Nobody.
01:40:10.700 My wife.
01:40:11.480 No, I'm not smelling your hands.
01:40:13.820 We may not be a hygienic people, but that we have drawn the line there at the very least.
01:40:18.240 We we are hygienic.
01:40:20.140 You know, I can we go into that story a bit of of, you know, the guy from India that says,
01:40:26.840 hey, you guys are really blessed.
01:40:29.480 I mean, this is really we are really hygienic.
01:40:33.020 We are at the top of our game.
01:40:35.560 We'll have to get to it here in just a second.
01:40:37.120 But it is a it's a guy from India who says, hey, by the way, if you're worried about hand
01:40:43.720 sanitizer, count yourself blessed.
01:40:46.640 If you're worried about, you know, oh, I've got to wash my hands.
01:40:51.440 That means you have clean water.
01:40:53.260 How many of us in India don't have access to any of the stuff you guys are complaining
01:40:58.440 about right now?
01:40:59.380 It's truly a remarkable and refreshing look at that.
01:41:02.920 Also, we have Mike Lindell just back from the White House.
01:41:07.420 He's on with us next.
01:41:13.080 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:42:41.480 Tomorrow at 9 p.m.
01:42:53.020 Eastern, our response to the coronavirus has crippled the economy.
01:42:56.440 Nearly 3.3 million people now out of work.
01:42:59.180 But there's one group of Americans who stand to profit off of America's demise.
01:43:03.340 The incompetence of Donald Trump is on dangerous display.
01:43:06.420 Glenn Beck argues the stakes are too high.
01:43:09.380 Americans need to fight together.
01:43:10.820 Turn the economic engine back on and ask what's more dangerous, the coronavirus or the mainstream
01:43:16.080 media?
01:43:16.980 America's most dangerous virus.
01:43:18.880 The media.
01:43:19.620 Tomorrow at 9 p.m.
01:43:20.480 Eastern, only on Blaze TV.
01:43:23.280 So yesterday, the president was in the Rose Garden and he had a bunch of CEOs there.
01:43:30.480 Procter and Gamble CEO was there.
01:43:33.680 A lot of people.
01:43:34.700 And he talked about how they were all pitching in to help.
01:43:40.320 And the media and Twitter went crazy.
01:43:44.460 I love this one.
01:43:45.460 And Trump showcasing executives from all these private companies instead of talking about
01:43:49.880 government efforts is a reflection of how little his administration is doing to respond
01:43:53.460 to the coronavirus.
01:43:54.920 But nothing, nothing lit the media up and lit social media up like Mike Lindell.
01:44:02.700 Mike Lindell got up.
01:44:04.180 He's the guy from MyPillow.
01:44:05.700 And he's retooling his factories to be able to make masks for the hospitals.
01:44:12.140 That's why he was there.
01:44:13.160 And when he got up to the microphone, he said, thanks, Mr. President.
01:44:16.520 If you don't mind, I'd like to just make a quick statement.
01:44:18.700 He said, God gave us grace on November 8th to 2016 to change the course we were on.
01:44:24.320 God's been taken out of our school and out of our laws, out of our lives.
01:44:28.600 A nation has turned its back on God.
01:44:31.300 I encourage you to use this time at home to get back to the word, to read our Bibles, bring
01:44:36.900 your families back to God.
01:44:38.220 I thought it was incredibly brave and not unusual.
01:44:44.160 Unfortunately, yes, it is in the world of the media.
01:44:48.060 This is from Ali Velshi from MSNBC.
01:44:51.520 Trump just called the MyPillow guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden.
01:44:54.760 You can't make this stuff up.
01:44:56.960 James O'Grady.
01:44:57.880 Are you effing kidding me?
01:44:59.200 He had the MyPillow guy on to sell his garbage product during a pandemic briefing.
01:45:03.900 He wasn't selling anything.
01:45:07.060 No one fights a pandemic better than or more scientifically than the insane MyPillow guy
01:45:14.660 talking about the Bible.
01:45:16.300 It went on and on and on.
01:45:20.740 Mike Lindell is here to respond and tell us how he's feeling today.
01:45:27.240 Mike, I thought you were incredibly brave to say what you said because you knew you were
01:45:33.540 going to take a beating for it.
01:45:35.200 I thought it was eloquent, and I thought it was exactly the right thing to do.
01:45:38.620 Congratulations for doing that, Mike.
01:45:40.800 Well, thanks.
01:45:41.920 And I had just wrote down some notes here.
01:45:45.380 I actually turned to the president because I didn't know if I said to you, I'm going to
01:45:48.840 say something a little off the cuff here.
01:45:50.500 And I didn't, you know, I thought, I didn't think it'd be a tech like that.
01:45:55.520 I really didn't.
01:45:56.340 And boy, I got, I had over, and then I had over 750 some text messages.
01:46:02.380 Of course, them were good, but I didn't even know I had that many people.
01:46:05.120 I had my phone number.
01:46:06.660 And then there was probably, I mean, people I haven't talked to in 10 years.
01:46:12.500 So I was answering them till three in the morning, but I actually, I actually, I went
01:46:18.340 to the bad media sites and seen what was trying to be put out there.
01:46:22.440 And Glenn, one thing I want to say is I think everyone out there, even from both sides, because
01:46:28.060 so many people that were on the side, even the media that's saying these horrible things,
01:46:34.400 there are people over there going, you know what, just like you just said, he wasn't selling
01:46:38.000 anything.
01:46:38.640 And what's wrong with being home with your families?
01:46:40.700 And that's just his opinion.
01:46:42.260 And they, a lot of this country, like I told the president, I said, you know, Mr. President,
01:46:47.820 this, we had a, we were in the Oval Office for about a half hour after that, him and I,
01:46:51.920 and I said, you know what?
01:46:53.340 I said, these press briefings are so good because people are seeing who you really are, who you,
01:46:58.020 you know, that you're, they're seeing your heart and, and all this big news and this crazy
01:47:02.660 attacks out there by the left.
01:47:04.120 I said, I said, I got, I said, here's where it's going though.
01:47:07.120 And I read him a text I got from a friend of mine, who's very much a president hater.
01:47:12.240 And here's what it said.
01:47:13.400 And I read it to him and said, Mike, you know, I'm not a big Donald Trump fan, but he said,
01:47:18.180 you know what?
01:47:18.960 God bless him.
01:47:19.700 He's doing an incredible job.
01:47:21.600 He's like, he's doing a job of a champion here.
01:47:23.960 And I think he's growing on me.
01:47:25.900 And this is what's happening.
01:47:27.340 I think people are going to quit being brainwashed by this horrible, crazy media and they know
01:47:34.500 who they are.
01:47:35.540 And, uh, and then, um, and, and the public is going to see this, this amazing job that
01:47:40.400 our president's doing, but I, you know, I'm going to get interview after interview today
01:47:45.540 and I'm taking all the bad ones.
01:47:47.420 I think I'm going on the view tomorrow.
01:47:49.240 I'm going Washington.
01:47:50.260 Oh my gosh.
01:47:51.500 I love it.
01:47:53.140 I want to go right into the hurricane.
01:47:54.760 I get, finally, I get to speak out for Jesus.
01:47:56.800 Like I want to.
01:47:58.520 That's great.
01:47:59.280 That's great.
01:48:00.040 So Mike, tell me about your company is doing, he had you on, on the stage along with other,
01:48:05.980 uh, CEOs, uh, because you're doing something with your company.
01:48:10.100 Tell me what you're doing.
01:48:11.980 Well, about two weeks ago, I said, you know what?
01:48:14.220 We got to make masks.
01:48:15.180 I heard there was a need.
01:48:16.180 I reached out to the vice president.
01:48:17.720 He was head of this, you know, this whole thing.
01:48:19.680 And I reached out to his office and they directed me to Peter Navarro, who, uh, who called,
01:48:24.580 who text me right back and then called me.
01:48:26.740 And, and he says, we have this thing set up as a coalition.
01:48:30.040 I called them.
01:48:30.900 They were so helpful in finding out specs that I need of these cotton masks.
01:48:35.340 And, um, and then I, I had to outsource get, you know, figure out where it can get the elastic
01:48:39.340 in our country.
01:48:40.140 And, and, uh, in the meantime, I said, you guys were doing, we're going all in and we
01:48:44.880 revamped my, one of my factories, 200,000 square feet.
01:48:48.300 And we put in safety precautions for all my, um, employees where they're checking the door
01:48:54.660 and they, you know, sanitize or they can take breaks when they want.
01:48:57.920 And we went all in by within three days, we were up to 10,000 mass training.
01:49:02.620 Um, now I'm running three shifts and we want to get up to 50,000 by the end of the week.
01:49:07.720 But one of the things that happened, Glenn was wait, wait, wait, 50,000, 50,000 a day,
01:49:13.960 a day or at the end of the week, a day, no, a day, a day, a day, I want to, yeah, we're
01:49:19.520 very good at, we're very good at, uh, ramping up in my pillow and, and here's the use to
01:49:23.880 big numbers.
01:49:24.460 And, and I have such an amazing team.
01:49:26.720 We, we had to move sewing machines apart.
01:49:29.040 We had to, uh, did have a very expensive, a die cutter that cuts the fabric.
01:49:32.840 So, and, and the, the, one of the specs was they wanted 160 thread counter better.
01:49:37.680 Mine turns out it was 205 double.
01:49:39.880 So it's 410.
01:49:40.820 So we overshot the mark.
01:49:42.580 And so there was a lot of things that were, that were, uh, set up almost perfect for such
01:49:47.420 a time as this for my pillow to get involved.
01:49:49.920 But, but one of the things that's happened is I became like a bicycle hub and I've got
01:49:54.400 a whole team of people.
01:49:55.780 I have 20 people.
01:49:56.840 It's like a task force.
01:49:57.980 We're actually going to put a website up because we're getting right, you know, from all over
01:50:01.860 the country, you know, Hey, how can I get involved as a business?
01:50:05.120 How can I help?
01:50:05.920 I have five other businesses I dealt with that switched over to getting sewing these masks.
01:50:10.540 And they don't, you know, I want to say just the few that were there at the white house,
01:50:13.880 there are so many companies out there that are stepping up and it's just amazing to see
01:50:18.880 that.
01:50:20.320 You know, I, I read one of the guys that said, you know, that he's the fact that the president
01:50:25.440 is showcasing these private industry shows how little his administration is doing.
01:50:29.980 That is the idea of a free market.
01:50:33.440 This is exciting.
01:50:34.900 And why we always pull ahead in a crisis because the free market is, we don't have to wait for
01:50:43.360 the government to requisition things.
01:50:46.300 We just do them.
01:50:48.480 We find a better way to do them and we get it done.
01:50:52.240 Absolutely.
01:50:52.960 And I want to tell everyone out there, I went to the white house.
01:50:56.120 I'm, as you know, you know, me, I'm an optimist beyond belief.
01:50:59.420 I went to the white house and I'm the first, we had a round table thing with a vice president,
01:51:03.620 president, these, and these other companies and myself.
01:51:05.920 And, and they, and they're talking about these statistics.
01:51:09.980 He goes, he says to me, he says, Mike, this one took, they said it would take a year.
01:51:14.240 They did it in two weeks.
01:51:15.560 I mean, he's able to take the private sector and the government and say, you know what?
01:51:19.960 This one company called up and they, or one governor called him up and said, Hey,
01:51:23.740 Hey, um, I can't, the, the, the government's blocking us at federally or the federal day.
01:51:28.880 Um, and he called up the, uh, FDA and it got approved in two hours.
01:51:32.760 That would have took months.
01:51:33.860 I mean, this is what he's the best at.
01:51:36.020 He here's a calm, here's common sense problem solution and what it's going to manifest to.
01:51:41.060 And it's just, no, he's built for that.
01:51:43.080 I mean, I, I left there.
01:51:44.680 I'm more optimistic now than I was.
01:51:47.180 And for me to go up, you know, to double my optimism going, wow, he's going to go through
01:51:52.680 this.
01:51:53.020 So I can't tell everyone else how amazing the things they're doing.
01:51:57.740 He is a guy, and I've said this for a long time.
01:52:00.380 He loves the crisis.
01:52:02.640 He just loves it.
01:52:03.340 He, he, he lives for that, that moment of crisis.
01:52:06.980 He creates, he creates chaos, you know, through his Twitter feeds and everything.
01:52:11.940 Cause he loves it.
01:52:12.920 He feasts on it.
01:52:13.680 This is a real crisis.
01:52:15.620 And you can see how he is, uh, he has stabilized all of the other behavior that usually causes
01:52:24.880 the crisis because he is in a real crisis now.
01:52:28.440 And it's, and he's, he's operating as I think he does when he's building giant, you know,
01:52:35.780 building projects.
01:52:36.860 He can just take on a whole bunch of different tasks and remain steady.
01:52:43.000 How is he appear to you is his spirits and, and how is he tired?
01:52:51.240 Yeah.
01:52:51.720 No, no, I don't think he tires.
01:52:53.480 I mean, he, I mean, he works harder than anyone ever.
01:52:56.420 I've ever seen, you know, 20 out of it, 20 hours out of a 24 hour day.
01:52:59.900 He does have my pillows.
01:53:01.360 So he gets quality sleep.
01:53:02.440 I'll put a plug in there.
01:53:03.780 Um, but the, uh, the, the, the, he, he is, it's like, you just said it.
01:53:10.520 He lives for this.
01:53:12.080 He's he, he knows he's the best at it.
01:53:14.940 And he is like a big guy running at orchestra, all these different silos at the same time
01:53:21.100 and cutting through the tape to get this done, to get this done.
01:53:24.740 And it's amazing.
01:53:25.840 And his spirits are good.
01:53:27.280 He just, you know, he's, I think he's one thing people don't realize about him is he's
01:53:32.640 a, he's amazing listener.
01:53:34.520 He takes it all in and he won't stay right at the thing.
01:53:38.000 He just, it's like a, it's like a computer taking into his brain and then God's given
01:53:43.160 him this gift.
01:53:43.820 He just weighs it.
01:53:44.720 And here's the answer.
01:53:45.920 And you're going to have a hard time changing my mind.
01:53:48.280 Once he gives that answer, he's that you're not going to, he knows it's the right thing.
01:53:51.700 And just because you've got other people putting their influence and maybe having their
01:53:55.380 own agenda, once he makes that decision, he's going to get from point A to point B and there's
01:54:00.040 nothing going to stop.
01:54:00.900 It's just a matter of how he gets there.
01:54:03.020 Did you, with the other CEOs, did you guys talk about the economy and, uh, and how we're
01:54:10.000 going to turn this thing back on?
01:54:12.560 Yeah.
01:54:13.080 Yeah.
01:54:13.420 You know, they, that's what they were, you know, one of the things is one of the things,
01:54:17.420 the frustrations I got, I brought up, um, I said, you know, there's, um, you see all
01:54:22.540 these places that are open, like your Walmarts and grocery stores.
01:54:25.600 And I said, I am, I was sick.
01:54:27.740 And when I walk into one and they don't have people at the door security saying, Hey, put
01:54:33.000 a mask on, use this sanitizer here, or even their own employees within the business.
01:54:37.740 I set it up in my pillow.
01:54:39.580 Why not be, why do, why don't they have safety things that they're getting to be open just
01:54:43.700 because they're essential.
01:54:44.700 So these people are, I told the president, I said, down in Oklahoma, a friend of mine's
01:54:49.420 got house of David, you know, obviously they're not, it's not considered, uh, essential that
01:54:54.280 you have a church open, but yet there's a hardware, or I mean, a car parts store where
01:54:58.820 they're all congregated with no mask.
01:55:00.640 The clerk's not wearing a mask.
01:55:02.220 And what's wrong with that picture?
01:55:03.860 I mean, and, you know, we need safe practice for the businesses are there so they can give
01:55:09.020 us confidence.
01:55:10.400 You know, when, when we, when we go back to our other, the other businesses start open.
01:55:14.240 If these aren't doing, you know, it's showing safe practices.
01:55:17.460 It's just, and we did talk about the economy.
01:55:20.480 That's what the president right now, he's hearing on one hand, millions of people are going to
01:55:24.960 die.
01:55:25.220 You're saving lives.
01:55:26.100 And he goes, he said, my first thing is to save lives.
01:55:28.740 But he said, he said, but we've got to get people back to work.
01:55:31.740 So we need to get, we need to get solutions.
01:55:34.520 And he's, that's what he's weighing.
01:55:36.540 And that's what, what we're waiting on now is for the president to, he just keeps taking
01:55:41.680 an input when you, when you're seeing these delays, okay, we'll wait and we'll see, you
01:55:45.400 know, we'll push the date off here.
01:55:46.900 Well, more stuff keeps coming in, more fixes.
01:55:50.500 And then when it's going to be, I believe a day is coming, president's going to go, you
01:55:53.500 know what?
01:55:53.880 We're going to start here.
01:55:55.400 These things we're going to open up here.
01:55:57.140 You're not going to say nationwide, open it up all at once.
01:55:59.660 It'll be, it'll be possible.
01:56:01.480 And then, you know.
01:56:03.040 Mike, I've got to, I've got to run them up against the network break.
01:56:05.840 Thank you so much for what you did yesterday.
01:56:07.960 Thank you for the masks.
01:56:09.300 And we'll talk again soon.
01:56:12.220 Mike Lindell from my pillow.
01:56:14.900 And by the way, Mike is my guest on the podcast.
01:56:18.340 It comes out Thursday night for blaze subscribers.
01:56:21.260 You'll hear it Saturday on the podcast.
01:56:24.380 If you're not a subscriber to the blaze, it drops in the podcast feed on this Saturday.
01:56:29.500 Our sponsor this half hour is a gold line gold line.
01:56:33.060 And please, I'm begging you to do this now.
01:56:37.480 We are, I think we're, I think we've crossed the Rubicon.
01:56:41.820 I think on spending, the president just tweeted that he wants another $2 trillion in a spent
01:56:47.060 in a stimulus package.
01:56:48.860 And that's where it's starting.
01:56:50.360 So God only knows what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer will, will recommend.
01:56:54.260 And they'll both say it's not enough.
01:56:56.280 The $2 trillion.
01:56:58.380 We are, the dollar is going to be in trouble.
01:57:01.360 Please, please look into gold.
01:57:04.800 If you can, if you think you can't, they have an accumulation special that is built for people
01:57:10.180 just like you that, you know, you don't have a lot of bucks.
01:57:13.120 So accumulate gold with gold line, 866 gold line.
01:57:17.820 There is a rush on gold right now.
01:57:20.080 There's a shortage, believe it or not, a shortage of gold in the world.
01:57:23.920 Uh, and gold line is one of the few places that actually still has access to physical gold and can ship immediately.
01:57:32.200 They are not waiting for gold to come in.
01:57:35.560 They have it.
01:57:36.340 So call them while they have it.
01:57:37.920 Gold line, uh, at 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
01:57:45.600 A lot of people in this country would be delighted to pay more in taxes.
01:57:49.700 Finding yourself speechless, listening to progressive arguments.
01:57:53.140 Arm yourself with the facts.
01:57:54.660 Arguing with Socialists.
01:57:56.020 A new book from Glenn Beck.
01:57:57.920 Pre-order now on Amazon.
01:58:02.200 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:58:19.000 So it's interesting to me.
01:58:20.480 I guess, uh, there's a new study out.
01:58:23.860 Uh, Americans are hoarding cash at the fastest pace since Y2K.
01:58:29.020 What does it mean, hoarding cash?
01:58:30.920 You mean, I, I asked for the cash from the bank.
01:58:34.780 Is that hoarding cash?
01:58:36.420 I want to, I want to have what I own with me.
01:58:39.840 That's hoarding all of a sudden.
01:58:41.740 That's crazy.
01:58:43.040 Exactly what someone who's hoarding cash would say.
01:58:45.680 That's exactly what they would say.
01:58:48.320 Exactly right.
01:58:49.740 Yeah, you got me.
01:58:50.720 I have this, uh, old, uh, juice bottle that's filled with change.
01:58:55.160 Does that, is that hoarding cash?
01:58:57.080 I'm curious.
01:58:57.720 Is that a...
01:58:58.300 Uh, you know what?
01:58:58.940 I'm beginning to think it might.
01:59:00.760 I'm beginning to think it might.
01:59:02.260 They're going to start cracking down on cash.
01:59:04.960 I, I mean, God help us.
01:59:07.080 I, we've, I feel like we, we, we moved into a new place here in the last couple of days.
01:59:15.720 I mean, I, you know, it's been coming, but I think financially, I think we're just, tomorrow,
01:59:21.560 Stu, we should do something on, uh, modern monetary theory.
01:59:25.120 Okay.
01:59:25.540 Yeah.
01:59:25.940 Because I, I think we're just doing it.
01:59:28.540 I mean, it's just, we're not debating it.
01:59:31.000 Nobody even knows what it is.
01:59:32.700 Let's give it a whirl.
01:59:33.120 And I think we're doing it.
01:59:34.020 Let's see how it works out.
01:59:35.220 Right?
01:59:35.480 Because we're trying it right now.
01:59:36.460 We're just printing and spending at a rate that we can't possibly, you know, continue
01:59:40.500 with.
01:59:41.540 The last chapter of my book is on this modern monetary theory.
01:59:45.760 And I've been saying, you know, all through, like, can't let this happen.
01:59:49.180 We're doing it.
01:59:50.480 By the way, the new book, Arguing a Socialist, it's out next week.
01:59:54.460 You can pre-order now, amazon.com.
