The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ 3⧸26⧸20

00:00:00.160 Welcome to the podcast. Today we get some really wonderful news about our employment situation.

00:00:05.040 It turns out when you turn the economy off, a lot of people get unemployed pretty quickly.

00:00:09.920 It's an interesting development. We'll give you the details on that.

00:00:13.100 Are the end times here? Kind of feels like it from time to time.

00:00:17.200 But there's some good news as well. There's at least some upside

00:00:21.240 and some thinking that maybe this isn't going to be as bad as some had initially projected.

00:00:27.460 We'll get into those details. The stimulus package, what's in it.

00:00:31.260 There's a bunch of nightmare stuff in there. We talk about Ilhan Omar with Ben Weingarten.

00:00:35.700 He's got a new book out. Ilhan Omar and the progressive Islamist takeover of the Democratic Party 0.86

00:00:41.020 that you should definitely check out. The coronavirus update.

00:00:45.020 And we talked to someone from the Biden campaign as well.

00:00:48.940 It's all on the podcast. And tonight on Stude Does America, we're going to be going into Andrew Cuomo.

00:00:53.500 I can't take it. Why do people think he's good? He's not doing a good job.

00:00:56.480 He's been a failure since the beginning of this. We're going to walk you through it step by step

00:01:00.360 before the media just puts him in the White House, apparently, directly.

00:01:04.920 We'll get into that on Stude Does America. If you search for Stude Does America on your podcast app

00:01:09.140 and subscribe, that would be fantastic. And don't forget to rate and review this podcast

00:01:13.660 because it helps other people discover the show as well.

00:01:16.600 All right. Total cases worldwide now for our coronavirus update. All the numbers 530 a.m.

00:01:37.320 are locked in from Johns Hopkins University. Total confirmed cases worldwide now 486,702,

00:01:45.120 up from 434 yesterday. Total confirmed deaths only up 3,000 worldwide, 22,000 now. Total confirmed

00:01:54.660 recovered worldwide. 117, that's up 6,000 from yesterday. 4% of active cases are now considered

00:02:02.400 serious requiring hospitalization. That is steady from 4% yesterday, but down from 19% in February.

00:02:11.800 12% of U.S. confirmed cases do require hospitalization at this point.

00:02:16.940 So the U.S. now has 65,581 confirmed cases and 1,000 deaths. Yesterday, it was 784 that had died,

00:02:30.720 and we're up about 12,000 now in cases overnight. We now have 428 official recovered against 1,036 deaths.

00:02:42.260 Brother, can you spare $2 trillion? As we found out this morning,

00:02:46.580 the unemployment rate has gone through the roof, up over 1,000% in a week. We have gone from 292 jobs

00:02:58.160 being created, 292,000 jobs being created, to 3.28 million jobs lost, those people getting online to

00:03:08.960 file for unemployment. That is in the first week of the coronavirus. This is the biggest turnaround

00:03:15.220 and biggest job loss in American history. But the Senate passed the roughly $2 trillion economic relief

00:03:23.400 response. We're supposed to be getting direct payments right into your bank account. Every American,

00:03:29.540 well, not every American, but those deemed worthy, will get $1,200 in two to three weeks,

00:03:35.180 $2,400 plus up to four months, and unemployment benefits. Cuomo has confirmed what introverts have long known.

00:03:45.420 Social distancing seems to be working in New York. That's a very positive sign. Anybody who went to Mardi Gras 1.00

00:03:52.460 were the beads worth it. Mardi Gras now getting blamed for the Big Easy outbreak. This is the perfect storm,

00:03:59.500 they say. Fat Tuesday is really when the heads up from the government came in and said, hey, you should

00:04:11.020 not be gathering. But there were 1.4 million tourists there. We, quote, shared drink cups. We shared each

00:04:18.400 other's space in crowds. People were in close contacts catching beads. It's now clear they also caught more

00:04:24.860 than beads. Trouble for the Big Easy. U.S. military officially now on a no-travel lockdown. If you're

00:04:33.260 in the military, you're not to travel at all. They want to make sure that none of this virus is being

00:04:39.240 spread anywhere else, including in the own ranks. And for the best darn face mask in the whole wide world, 0.96

00:04:46.640 we have MyPillow to thank for it. MyPillow now is going to be making face masks. They will go, 0.93

00:04:57.520 Mike Lindell said, they'll do whatever it takes to make these. We're going to hopefully be going from

00:05:03.500 10,000 units a day to 50,000 units a day in a very short period of time. Mike Lindell joins literally

00:05:10.680 hundreds of other companies in the U.S. who have heeded the call of President Trump to convert production

00:05:15.740 to respirators, masks, ventilators, gowns, and other needed equipment. And some good news. Further

00:05:22.740 evidence that COVID-19 is seasonal and may spread less in the summer months. Don't let that fool you.

00:05:31.260 It will come back in the fall if it is seasonal. We won't be over it, but it will give us a chance

00:05:38.780 to really kind of catch our breath. Hang on. Who is on the... I'm sorry. Wilfred from the Biden

00:05:49.700 campaign is on the phone with us now. Not expecting a call. Wilfred. Hello? Hello? Hello?

00:06:02.580 Hello? Hello? Hello? Yes. Wilfred? I'd like to speak on the radio, please.

00:06:10.000 You're on the radio. Yes, you interrupted. I would like to talk to the host of the program.

00:06:15.940 That's me, Wilfred. You're on. Go ahead. No, my name is Wilfred. The host's name is also Wilfred?

00:06:22.680 Wilfred. No, I'm... This is Glenn Beck. You called in to the show. You're with the Biden campaign.

00:06:30.020 Hello? My name is Wilfred. I'm calling from Sun City, Florida.

00:06:35.520 Yes, yes. And I am the youth outreach director for the Biden campaign.

00:06:40.440 Youth outreach director. Yes. Yes, okay.

00:06:43.980 And I wanted to get a message to your audience, if I may. Yes, go ahead. Yes, go ahead, please.

00:06:50.660 And it's... It's not... The coronavirus... Have you heard of... Do you know what...

00:06:58.720 I've heard... Yes, we've... We all know it.

00:07:01.000 The coronavirus is being talked about as if it only affects elderly people.

00:07:08.040 And I want your audience to know that it also can affect young people like you and I.

00:07:13.400 And even... Even youngsters like Joe Biden can be affected by this.

00:07:20.720 Joe was... We have decided as a campaign to protect Joe Biden from coronavirus.

00:07:30.140 And we will be putting him in a lockdown.

00:07:35.060 There's a shed behind his home.

00:07:36.820 And he will be in a shed behind his home until November.

00:07:42.680 We also... He's... Wait a minute.

00:07:44.560 He's already in his house.

00:07:46.140 So, I... I mean, you just wired his house for television.

00:07:48.640 And, you know, he's doing these... These... These group meetings online now.

00:07:53.720 Well, we... We've looked at the research scientifically.

00:07:58.240 And he discovered a worry that is not being talked about that coronavirus may pass through cameras.

00:08:09.040 Which... I don't think any of that's true.

00:08:11.240 Well, we are... We want to be very careful.

00:08:13.980 So, we are not going to have Joe do any interviews or speeches or appearances of any kind until November.

00:08:22.340 Right.

00:08:22.640 And that's because you're... You're... Yeah, you're afraid mid-November, the... The... The election will be over by mid-November.

00:08:33.520 Yeah. Well, he's planning to vote by mail.

00:08:36.900 Right. Okay. No, but... I mean, nobody will see him. He won't have a chance to talk to the American people.

00:08:42.520 Well, safety first, of course.

00:08:44.140 Yes. He would like to tell you about the plan he's putting together for...

00:08:49.820 All right.

00:08:50.340 ...coronavirus. Do you know... Have you heard of the corona...

00:08:54.620 Yes. I've heard about the... Yes. But what is his plan? Do you have it there?

00:08:58.000 Step one. Stay home and keep the economy going. 0.98

00:09:03.540 Step two.

00:09:05.380 Wait.

00:09:05.580 Meet online only. But make sure to wash your hands before typing.

00:09:10.980 Step three.

00:09:13.340 Step three.

00:09:13.440 None of the... Yeah.

00:09:14.880 Only talk to people who are on your lap. 0.94

00:09:21.240 What was that last... What was that last one again?

00:09:26.680 It was last... Are you there?

00:09:29.040 Oh, yes. Only talk to people who are on your lap. 0.97

00:09:34.320 Really? Okay. Why is that?

00:09:36.580 On the top of your lap, I think.

00:09:39.920 Top of your lap.

00:09:40.820 On the top of your lap. Yes, talk to them.

00:09:42.520 All right.

00:09:43.440 If you do these things, Joe Biden will be giving out iPod shuffles to all people who volunteer.

00:09:53.100 Those are hard to get.

00:09:53.920 And I know that you have an audience who may lean a little to the right side of...

00:10:02.180 Maybe not so friendly to some of the policies of Joe.

00:10:07.260 Right.

00:10:07.920 However, he wants to address that with his Second Amendment plan.

00:10:14.080 Okay. What's his Second Amendment plan?

00:10:15.260 Everyone is allowed one blunderbuss.

00:10:20.160 If you...

00:10:20.920 That's all you need.

00:10:23.720 If someone's coming into your house, you just walk out on your porch and you fire your blunderbuss into the sky.

00:10:30.100 Right.

00:10:30.380 And then everyone will know that they're not allowed to come over while you're dancing the June bug.

00:10:37.600 All right. Thank you very much, Wilfred.

00:10:39.760 That's the Joe Biden guarantee.

00:10:41.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:10:48.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:11:11.240 Welcome to it.

00:11:12.380 Pat Gray is here.

00:11:13.640 We were just talking off air about, you know, the end of the world.

00:11:16.980 End times.

00:11:17.620 Jesus coming.

00:11:18.860 And I don't think this is the time that Jesus comes, you know, but who am I to say?

00:11:25.780 I have no idea.

00:11:27.060 I will tell you that I just got news from Israel that bats were falling out of the sky dead yesterday.

00:11:37.140 And people are saying that's a sign of the end times.

00:11:41.600 Were people making sandwiches out of them?

00:11:44.380 No, they weren't.

00:11:45.460 No, that's in China.

00:11:47.100 No.

00:11:47.180 Nobody was cooking them up in a nice soup, but they have no idea why these bats are falling

00:11:54.000 out of the sky.

00:11:55.000 And they're saying, well, that's part of prophecy because it says, you know, Lord is going to

00:11:58.600 take care of all the birds and stuff in the sky and they're just going to go away.

00:12:03.680 Okay.

00:12:04.200 I didn't know that one.

00:12:05.180 I don't.

00:12:05.460 I'm unfamiliar with that.

00:12:06.660 I'm not sure of that one either, but I'm pretty sure that I'd ever read anything about

00:12:12.280 bats being dead either.

00:12:15.080 So welcome to the program, Pat.

00:12:18.220 Your thoughts on 3.28 million in unemployment.

00:12:22.180 I mean, that's just catastrophic.

00:12:23.700 I hope this bill, you know, mitigates that in the future.

00:12:31.300 It can't help but right.

00:12:33.120 I mean, and when you have when you have every single Republican who is there to vote voting

00:12:39.580 for it, you know, either everybody's just caved and and toss their principles aside or

00:12:46.440 they believe that this is the only way to save America.

00:12:49.000 I think they caved.

00:12:51.720 Really?

00:12:52.880 So it's not the good thing.

00:12:55.200 I think they.

00:12:56.060 Right.

00:12:56.560 I think that they they they may have said, you know, this is as good as we're going to

00:13:02.820 get.

00:13:03.460 So we might as well.

00:13:06.300 You know, they but I don't think that they all believe that, yes, every bit of this is

00:13:11.220 is fantastic.

00:13:12.900 And I don't I think it is such an overreach.

00:13:16.400 Um, to where I don't I mean, I love your idea of of doing a moratorium for three months on

00:13:26.620 mortgages that would that would help immensely.

00:13:29.740 And so would every state agreeing to forego property tax for three months.

00:13:34.660 You know, just give people relief on that end where they don't have to have so much outgoing

00:13:40.200 and they can keep more of their money.

00:13:42.440 Isn't that the conservative way?

00:13:43.940 That's the Republican way to do it.

00:13:46.400 Well, but they didn't do that.

00:13:47.840 But they didn't.

00:13:48.320 I mean, no.

00:13:49.280 Yeah.

00:13:49.520 I mean, if you just take the mortgage mortgage and rent is your biggest concern for most

00:13:56.660 people, that's the biggest concern.

00:13:58.340 And if you just said, look, if you have mortgage or rent, stop for three months and be great.

00:14:05.380 And I love your idea also of no, no property tax.

00:14:10.160 So take those both away for three months and then couple that with an ask, please give some

00:14:19.200 of that money to others that are in need.

00:14:22.580 Yeah.

00:14:22.980 Because that's how our grandparents.

00:14:24.840 Yeah.

00:14:25.080 Right.

00:14:25.300 That's where our grandparents excelled.

00:14:27.840 And we're not used to that.

00:14:29.340 We just we're used to getting money and then not giving it away.

00:14:33.260 We we need to see the needs in others.

00:14:38.200 And if we have the ability to do it right now, everybody's clenched so tight because they

00:14:44.460 don't know what this means yet.

00:14:46.280 And they're clenched so tight.

00:14:48.220 They're like, I don't I don't know.

00:14:49.660 Can I can I give that money away right now?

00:14:53.080 I don't know.

00:14:54.360 And we none of us do.

00:14:57.300 So but we have to have faith in God that we we will make it.

00:15:02.100 We'll make it the way you think this works.

00:15:04.580 Like, obviously, the banks are depending on money and mortgage companies are they are going

00:15:08.960 to get some of these trillions of dollars that are already in this bill.

00:15:11.780 Is that kind of the vision there?

00:15:13.500 They're getting four trillion dollars as it is.

00:15:15.900 And then and it and it would stabilize because right now they're looking and doing calculations

00:15:22.120 on who's going to default.

00:15:24.180 And so it makes it even scarier for them.

00:15:27.260 Who's going to default?

00:15:28.660 Who's going to not be able to pay their mortgage in three months?

00:15:31.920 Are we are these, you know, triple A bonds that we've been repackaging and selling these

00:15:39.260 mortgages?

00:15:40.020 Are they going to default a moratorium on all defaulting a moratorium on absolutely everything

00:15:46.540 for three months?

00:15:47.860 Yes, that would help them.

00:15:49.320 It would help us.

00:15:50.280 And yeah, I mean, what do they they're missing out paying each other?

00:15:55.640 Well, the Fed is paying them.

00:15:58.080 What about the landlord level?

00:15:59.880 I would think that actually would be an impact you'd probably have to address.

00:16:03.140 I mean, if you're renting out an apartment complex and everyone starts paying zero a month

00:16:06.700 for three.

00:16:07.440 No, that's what I mean by look, if you own it outright, maybe you get a portion of you

00:16:13.820 know, you get a quarter of your value of a monthly payment or I don't I don't know.

00:16:18.920 Yeah, some but most people do not own that property outright.

00:16:23.300 So they have a more the landlord would have to have a moratorium.

00:16:27.620 The only way he could do it is if he didn't have to collect all the rents to pay his mortgage.

00:16:35.180 So anyone who had any kind of mortgage, business, cheesecake factory, a home, any kind of mortgage.

00:16:44.660 I like how business and home were a category and you gave an entire category to Cheesecake Factory.

00:16:49.560 I did.

00:16:50.260 I think it deserves its own category.

00:16:53.120 Have you seen its menu?

00:16:54.340 Yes.

00:16:54.920 It's in a category of itself.

00:16:57.900 So I just think that business and homeownership and apartment complexes, they shouldn't have

00:17:08.220 to meet that monthly nut for three months.

00:17:11.840 Then they could give people and say, look, you know, pay a hundred dollars a month or pay

00:17:18.480 nothing a month, whatever it is, but get rid of it for three months.

00:17:25.120 And, you know, the government is attaching certain provisions on receiving the money with

00:17:29.500 the with the businesses.

00:17:30.300 Like they're saying, if we give you this money, you can't fire your employees as after we do.

00:17:35.740 You could also do that with the banks.

00:17:37.780 We're going to give you this money.

00:17:38.820 We're going to bail you out, but we want you to put a moratorium on mortgages for three

00:17:43.960 months.

00:17:44.300 And they would also be really easy for the states to put the moratorium on the property

00:17:49.040 taxes for three months.

00:17:50.200 You can do all.

00:17:50.960 So here's the here's the thing.

00:17:52.800 This the the the banks aren't being bailed out directly this time because, you know,

00:17:57.580 that started the Tea Party.

00:17:59.000 So the Fed is just doing it.

00:18:00.980 And so the Fed is the bank, you know, so the Fed's just printing money.

00:18:06.040 She's and giving it to themselves. 0.95

00:18:08.380 That's what's happening there.

00:18:10.120 Yeah.

00:18:10.380 So there are no strings attached on that.

00:18:13.180 We just have to you know, we just have to pressure these Congress and pressure our state

00:18:20.920 governors.

00:18:21.260 You should be calling your governor now because Gavin Newsom just got this in California.

00:18:26.740 And I think this should happen in every state in the union.

00:18:30.360 So call your governor and say, put the banks on notice.

00:18:35.440 You need a three month moratorium on all mortgages, business and and home mortgages.

00:18:44.940 That's not necessarily a business loan.

00:18:47.700 It's just the place of business.

00:18:49.700 You don't have to pay for the place of business because that's everybody's biggest expense.

00:18:54.700 Also, how do you feel about what's happening to the what's it called?

00:19:00.280 Constant, constant, constitution right now.

00:19:04.240 What's happening with that?

00:19:06.540 Nobody's paying attention to it.

00:19:08.360 Why did at all?

00:19:09.620 Is the National Archives closing because I've seen it up there.

00:19:13.720 It's on display.

00:19:14.640 I'm not talking so much about the actual physical document, but what it says in the document,

00:19:20.700 you know, like forget that, like you can't turn people's water off and their electricity

00:19:26.940 off if they disobey you and your order for them to shut down their business, like in Virginia

00:19:32.580 with Governor Northam, Governor Blackface, making it a crime to assemble something that 0.80

00:19:39.400 is literally addressed directly in the U.S. Constitution.

00:19:43.100 But you have to dig in quite a ways to the very first amendment to find it.

00:19:49.840 So it's a little difficult.

00:19:51.800 It's deep.

00:19:52.100 It's on page one.

00:19:53.160 Yeah.

00:19:53.400 First paragraph.

00:19:54.380 But not a lot of people dig that far into the Constitution.

00:19:58.380 It's not in the headline.

00:20:00.000 OK, and that's as far as we go.

00:20:03.060 So here's the here's the thing, Pat.

00:20:05.440 Actually, if you watch my special last night, the states have extraordinary power as long as

00:20:11.860 they're doing it to everyone.

00:20:13.880 That's the key here.

00:20:15.160 And what's what the real problem is, is the states are trying to kick it up to the federal

00:20:20.160 government.

00:20:20.720 They don't want to take this responsibility and they don't want to pay for it.

00:20:24.920 So when you saw that, who was it?

00:20:27.200 Oh, state of Texas today.

00:20:28.920 The president just issued the the order for the National Guard.

00:20:33.940 Well, why would this?

00:20:35.620 Why didn't the governor do that?

00:20:36.900 Because if the governors issue a call for the National Guard, then they have to pay for

00:20:44.380 it.

00:20:45.200 But if the president orders the National Guard, then the then the federal government pays

00:20:50.920 for it.

00:20:51.540 You do not want to set the precedence that the National Guard is under the direction of

00:20:58.980 the president.

00:20:59.660 The National Guard must be under the the governors.

00:21:04.880 You might have a bad governor, but we can all escape from that state if and then you also

00:21:12.060 have the federal government that can remove that bad governor. 0.84

00:21:15.100 But if you have the military operating in the United States and it's all under the control

00:21:21.520 of the president and I'm not talking about this president, but I can't believe all these

00:21:26.920 Democratic governments governors who said that the president of the United States, Donald

00:21:31.640 Trump was a fascist, is now giving him the power over their state by moving the military

00:21:39.240 under his direction into their state. 0.99

00:21:42.820 It's great.

00:21:43.640 I mean, you know, you you obviously don't believe that he's a dictator when you are in that state

00:21:50.320 giving him that much power.

00:21:52.160 And thank God, I don't think he is a dictator.

00:21:55.220 I don't think he'd become a dictator.

00:21:56.480 But you can't set this precedence.

00:22:00.960 And yet, and do you hear anybody saying of it?

00:22:03.280 You know, nobody's talking about it.

00:22:04.660 We're rolling over for for all of it.

00:22:06.640 We're not even we're not even giving a thought to whether or not we should be doing this.

00:22:11.760 We're just in such a panic right now.

00:22:13.900 Nobody wants the disease.

00:22:14.960 We don't want it to spread.

00:22:16.000 So anything's proposed.

00:22:17.660 OK, yep, we'll comply.

00:22:20.100 We'll comply.

00:22:21.020 You know what?

00:22:21.620 Did you did you see the guy who probably this is the study that probably had the president

00:22:27.380 shut everything down?

00:22:28.420 This is the guy.

00:22:29.120 This is the study that shot that England shut down over everybody else you heard.

00:22:34.980 Have you heard about the Imperial College study in in the UK?

00:22:39.300 Yeah, that's the big that's the big scary model that they've been.

00:22:42.500 That's the big one.

00:22:43.280 Yeah, 500,000 deaths in the UK.

00:22:48.240 Well, now the guy who did the study says, I think we might have enough ICU beds and it's

00:22:56.220 probably only going to kill 20,000 in the UK.

00:23:00.640 That's more than half of those.

00:23:02.820 More than half of those, he said, would have died by the end of the year in any way, in

00:23:08.620 any case, because they're sick and old.

00:23:10.900 So wait a minute.

00:23:12.040 Wait, wait a minute.

00:23:14.000 You just said 500,000 people would die.

00:23:17.640 Now you're saying 20,000 by the end of the year and they probably would have died anyway.

00:23:23.100 And you've destroyed the global economy.

00:23:27.040 Well, but I think I was reading that, too.

00:23:29.460 And as I was reading into his reasoning, his reasoning for his optimism seems to be the

00:23:36.320 lockdown.

00:23:36.720 Yeah, so really, really, because the lockdown was in place.

00:23:41.560 He said the numbers are so encouraging with the lockdown.

00:23:44.720 The lockdown in the UK had been going on for two solid days.

00:23:49.120 Right.

00:23:49.860 The official one.

00:23:51.020 But they were doing, you know, the encouraged social distancing and all of that before social

00:23:56.320 distancing.

00:23:56.820 We were doing social distancing.

00:23:58.500 There's nothing wrong with social distancing.

00:24:00.320 We're talking about the shutting down of economies.

00:24:03.660 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:07.980 Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:17.620 If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:24:22.220 It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

00:24:25.360 So I know this is a dumb question, but, Stu, I'd like you to help me out on some of these

00:24:29.740 things, OK?

00:24:30.380 Going over the bailout, I've had a few things.

00:24:35.760 The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Operations and Maintenance.

00:24:41.120 For an additional amount for operations and maintenance of $25 million to remain available

00:24:50.200 until September 30th, 2021, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus domestically

00:24:56.480 or internationally, including funding for deep cleaning and information technology to

00:25:01.960 improve telework capability and for operations and maintenance requires related to the consequence

00:25:07.140 of coronavirus.

00:25:09.100 What exactly does the John F. Kennedy Center need to do besides get a bunch of mothballs and

00:25:17.320 roll them down the aisle and then vacuum them back up when they can open the doors?

00:25:22.820 Well, in times of a pandemic, Glenn, you want to make sure you pour money into facilities

00:25:28.460 where people get together to sit really close to each other and watch a show.

00:25:32.120 It's unbelievable.

00:25:32.980 It's a great idea.

00:25:34.340 Unbelievable.

00:25:35.020 I think we can do deep cleaning there for less than $25 million.

00:25:38.020 And notice, and this is a key word, notice it says, to prepare for and respond to coronavirus

00:25:46.900 domestically or internationally.

00:25:51.020 What?

00:25:52.180 Well, if they move the Kennedy Center to Madagascar at any point.

00:25:57.520 Or Ukraine.

00:25:58.100 It could be a huge issue.

00:25:59.960 All right.

00:26:02.500 I don't think we should be, you know, $25 million to, you know, the Kennedy Center.

00:26:08.760 I mean, how much does it turn take to turn off the lights and then come back later?

00:26:14.460 Why are we paying performers and artists for not performing?

00:26:19.720 I mean, get the unemployment that the plumber gets.

00:26:23.380 The National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities, five national endowment for the arts, six grants

00:26:30.260 and administration for the additional amount.

00:26:33.940 Now, $25 million to turn out the lights of the Kennedy Center.

00:26:39.200 This is an additional amount for grants and administration.

00:26:44.980 $75 million to remain available until September 30th, 2021 to prevent, prepare for, and respond

00:26:54.540 to coronavirus domestically or internationally to be distributed in grants.

00:27:01.080 Oh, okay.

00:27:02.660 So, wow.

00:27:05.600 So, $75 million to pay artists.

00:27:10.720 Okay.

00:27:12.400 Who's getting these grants?

00:27:13.900 And I'm an artist.

00:27:15.540 Can I get one?

00:27:17.360 I'm guessing the answer is negatory, chief.

00:27:21.100 Negatory.

00:27:23.180 Howard University for an additional amount for Howard University of $13 million to prepare

00:27:30.360 to respond to domestically, internationally, help defray the expenses directly caused by coronavirus

00:27:37.380 and enable grants to students for expenses directly related to coronavirus for the disruption

00:27:41.840 of university operations.

00:27:43.900 What, what, what?

00:27:45.360 I mean, how expensive are the books now?

00:27:47.620 $13 million for it to cover the disruptions.

00:27:52.720 $13 million?

00:27:53.640 I mean, can I just tell you, in this bill, schools are getting an awful lot of money.

00:27:59.180 And with all due respect for the amount of fleecing that these, these universities have

00:28:06.000 done, I think, clean up your own mess.

00:28:09.100 But that's just me.

00:28:10.960 How are they different than the plumber right down the road?

00:28:15.240 How come Beacon Plumbing is not getting millions of dollars?

00:28:18.900 I mean, keeping my crapper clean and flushing with all this toilet paper that I now have.

00:28:25.860 I mean, that seems to be more critical to me than, you know, giving grants to students for the disruption of university operations.

00:28:34.980 I don't even know what that means.

00:28:38.140 Also, notice all of these, domestic or international.

00:28:43.000 That's, that phrase is mentioned 115 times in the document.

00:28:49.860 Why does Howard need to spend money outside the U.S.?

00:28:52.580 How much money exactly is going to be leaving the U.S.?

00:28:56.400 Because I thought we were bailing out the United States.

00:29:01.140 Source of funds used for payments of salaries and expenses of Tiny Findings Child Development Center.

00:29:07.980 The Government Accountability Office may reimburse the Tiny Findings Child Development Center for salaries for employees incurred from April 1st to September 30th, 2020,

00:29:17.600 for employees of such center who have been ordered to cease working due to measures taken in the Capitol complex to combat coronavirus not to exceed $100,000 a month.

00:29:28.900 So this is the tiny little Findings Child Development Center that's in the Capitol.

00:29:32.900 So they took care of theirs.

00:29:34.260 But what about all the little Chinese, the child Findings Development Centers that are around the country? 1.00

00:29:41.160 I was just with the bank president of my local bank just, what, a day ago, two days ago, and we were talking.

00:29:50.260 He runs a small business on top of that one.

00:29:53.180 He runs a daycare.

00:29:55.640 He and his daughter run a daycare.

00:29:57.340 I said, how's that going?

00:29:58.320 He said, not well.

00:29:59.740 I don't know how we're going to keep those doors open.

00:30:03.260 Well, okay, well, how come he doesn't get any help?

00:30:06.660 See, this is the kind of stuff that drives people nuts.

00:30:13.300 This is the kind of stuff that gives, that creates the Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street.

00:30:18.340 It does.

00:30:19.780 Now they're giving to a private nonprofit.

00:30:22.520 Well, how come Mercury won?

00:30:23.720 We do a lot of good.

00:30:24.820 How come we're not on that?

00:30:26.160 How do you even get in line on that?

00:30:27.680 You don't.

00:30:30.360 Extension of Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program.

00:30:34.740 $48,287,671 for the period beginning October 1st, 2019, and ending May 22nd of 2020.

00:30:51.280 Excuse me?

00:30:51.900 Okay, wait.

00:30:52.480 For the period beginning October 1st, 16, 2019, that's in the past, and ending May 22nd, and they need $50 million?

00:31:01.360 I mean, I'm sure they're doing great work.

00:31:03.260 No, I mean that sincerely.

00:31:05.140 But $50 million spent on telling people to self-regulate sexual risk?

00:31:10.580 Wouldn't, you know, hey, everybody stay in shelter in place.

00:31:16.520 Shouldn't that stop all risky behavior?

00:31:19.100 I mean, you're only having sex with the people that you're trapped with.

00:31:23.120 And that kind of sorting that out?

00:31:24.480 I give that one to you for free, United States government.

00:31:30.300 Federal work study during qualifying emergency in general.

00:31:34.300 In the event of a qualifying emergency, an institution of higher education participating in the program under Part C of Title IV of the Higher Education Act, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:31:45.300 Now, if they affected work study students for the period of time not to extend one academic year in which affected students are unable to fulfill the student's work study obligation for all or part of such academic year due to such qualifying emergencies as follows, payments may be made, blah, blah, blah.

00:32:02.440 So, wait, students who work will get full-time paychecks for not working.

00:32:11.700 When did we start giving students a pension?

00:32:15.560 Do plumbers get that?

00:32:18.900 Section 3510, continuing education at affected foreign institutions.

00:32:24.560 Oh, be nice if we had more information on this section, more detail on exactly how they're going to pay, who they're going to pay for what, how much.

00:32:31.940 But, nope, that's all it was.

00:32:33.520 Section 3510, continuing education at affected foreign institutions.

00:32:37.800 Don't know what that is.

00:32:39.080 Don't know how much they get.

00:32:40.700 Don't know where that money's going.

00:32:43.780 Temporary relief for student loan borrowers.

00:32:46.620 The secretary shall suspend all payments due for loans made under Part D and Part B held by the Department of Education, blah, blah, blah, through September 30th, 2020.

00:32:56.780 Consideration of payments, notwithstanding any other provision in the higher education, blah, blah, blah.

00:33:01.880 Secretary shall deem each month for which the loan payment was suspended under the section as if the borrower of the loan had made the payments for the purpose of any loan forgiveness program.

00:33:12.240 Wait.

00:33:13.220 Hold it.

00:33:14.180 What?

00:33:14.500 Yeah, you heard that right.

00:33:17.540 They're not just putting a hold on student loans.

00:33:20.980 As long as the student claims this is an emergency, we're going to count each month as if we paid the loan for them.

00:33:29.640 Uh, wait a minute.

00:33:33.900 Excuse me.

00:33:34.480 What?

00:33:35.660 I just I just last hour outlined what you should be doing, and that is you should be calling your governor right now and telling the governor to put pressure on the banks to just put a moratorium on your mortgage for three months.

00:33:52.400 That's business mortgages.

00:33:54.360 That's, you know, your your mortgage payment.

00:33:57.860 If you have any kind of mortgage payment, that should be suspended for three months because we can use that money to a take the pressure off of families and they don't lose their homes.

00:34:08.460 Take the pressure off of businesses.

00:34:10.620 Yeah.

00:34:10.860 Cheesecake factory said they can't meet their mortgage payment.

00:34:13.380 They may have to close.

00:34:14.440 Don't let that happen.

00:34:15.560 America.

00:34:16.500 Everyone could take that burden off their shoulders.

00:34:19.680 But I didn't ask that the government makes those payments.

00:34:23.280 The government is is counting from now until September as they're making all of the payments for the student loans.

00:34:34.580 Oh, my gosh.

00:34:36.080 I can't.

00:34:37.480 Do it.

00:34:38.360 I can't do it.

00:34:41.440 Inclusion of certain over the counter medicines qualified as medical expenses.

00:34:46.680 Guess what?

00:34:47.260 Stu.

00:34:47.620 Guess what?

00:34:48.260 What?

00:34:48.640 Guess what?

00:34:49.060 Guess what we're paying for?

00:34:50.480 Guess what we're paying for?

00:34:52.100 I don't know what.

00:34:53.280 Yeah.

00:34:54.700 Tampons, pads, liners, cups, sponge.

00:34:58.040 We're doing it all.

00:34:59.680 Good.

00:35:00.260 I was hoping that would happen.

00:35:01.800 Finally.

00:35:02.660 Finally.

00:35:02.880 How many times have we demanded this?

00:35:05.160 I know.

00:35:05.600 I've always thought, you know, we should be paying for tampons and genital tract secretions.

00:35:11.820 And so we're doing it.

00:35:13.500 So that's that's really good.

00:35:15.440 Temporary government in the Sunshine Act relief.

00:35:18.920 If the chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System determines in writing that unusual and extreme circumstances exist, the board may conduct meetings without regard to the requirements of Section 552B of Title 5 United States Code during the period beginning.

00:35:37.060 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:35:38.280 Now.

00:35:39.680 That's great.

00:35:40.500 Sounds wonderful.

00:35:41.540 Except I don't know what U.S. Code Title 5 Section 552B says.

00:35:45.680 No big deal.

00:35:46.980 I mean, I looked it up.

00:35:49.320 It's just a mandate that all meetings have to be open to the public observation.

00:35:54.720 So, you know, we would have some idea of what's going on, but they don't have to do that now.

00:35:59.120 They don't have to be open to the public.

00:36:01.620 U.S. Code 552B.

00:36:04.500 Open meetings.

00:36:05.740 A member shall not jointly conduct or dispose of any agency, business, other in accordance with this section, blah, blah, blah.

00:36:10.600 We'll be right back.
