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
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

00:01:16.600
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
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,
00:04:46.640
we have MyPillow to thank for it. MyPillow now is going to be making face masks. They will go,
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.
00:06:43.980
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...
00:07:01.000
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.
00:07:36.820
And he will be in a shed behind his home until November.
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.
00:08:13.980
So, we are not going to have Joe do any interviews or speeches or appearances of any kind until November.
00:08:22.640
And that's because you're... You're... Yeah, you're afraid mid-November, the... The... The election will be over by mid-November.
00:08:36.900
Right. Okay. No, but... I mean, nobody will see him. He won't have a chance to talk to the American people.
00:08:44.140
Yes. He would like to tell you about the plan he's putting together for...
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.
00:09:05.580
Meet online only. But make sure to wash your hands before typing.
00:09:21.240
What was that last... What was that last one again?
00:09:29.040
Oh, yes. Only talk to people who are on your lap.
00:09:43.440
If you do these things, Joe Biden will be giving out iPod shuffles to all people who volunteer.
00:09:53.920
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.
00:10:07.920
However, he wants to address that with his Second Amendment plan.
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.
00:10:30.380
And then everyone will know that they're not allowed to come over while you're dancing the June bug.
00:10:41.240
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:11:13.640
We were just talking off air about, you know, the end of the world.
00:11:18.860
And I don't think this is the time that Jesus comes, you know, but who am I to say?
00:11:27.060
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.
00:11:47.180
Nobody was cooking them up in a nice soup, but they have no idea why these bats are falling
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.
00:12:06.660
I'm not sure of that one either, but I'm pretty sure that I'd ever read anything about
00:12:23.700
I hope this bill, you know, mitigates that in the future.
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.
00:12:56.560
I think that they they they may have said, you know, this is as good as we're going to
00:13:06.300
You know, they but I don't think that they all believe that, yes, every bit of this is
00:13:16.400
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
00:13:49.520
I mean, if you just take the mortgage mortgage and rent is your biggest concern for most
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
00:14:29.340
We just we're used to getting money and then not giving it away.
00:14:38.200
And if we have the ability to do it right now, everybody's clenched so tight because they
00:14:57.300
So but we have to have faith in God that we we will make it.
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.
00:15:13.500
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
00:15:28.660
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
00:15:40.020
Are they going to default a moratorium on all defaulting a moratorium on absolutely everything
00:15:50.280
And yeah, I mean, what do they they're missing out paying each other?
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
00:16:07.440
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.
00:16:57.900
So I just think that business and homeownership and apartment complexes, they shouldn't have
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
00:17:30.300
Like they're saying, if we give you this money, you can't fire your employees as after we do.
00:17:38.820
We're going to bail you out, but we want you to put a moratorium on mortgages for three
00:17:44.300
And they would also be really easy for the states to put the moratorium on the property
00:17:52.800
This the the the banks aren't being bailed out directly this time because, you know,
00:18:00.980
And so the Fed is the bank, you know, so the Fed's just printing money.
00:18:13.180
We just have to you know, we just have to pressure these Congress and pressure our state
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.
00:18:49.700
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?
00:19:09.620
Is the National Archives closing because I've seen it up there.
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
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.
00:19:54.380
But not a lot of people dig that far into the Constitution.
00:20:05.440
Actually, if you watch my special last night, the states have extraordinary power as long as
00:20:15.160
And what's what the real problem is, is the states are trying to kick it up to the federal
00:20:20.720
They don't want to take this responsibility and they don't want to pay for it.
00:20:28.920
The president just issued the the order for the National Guard.
00:20:36.900
Because if the governors issue a call for the National Guard, then they have to pay for
00:20:45.200
But if the president orders the National Guard, then the then the federal government pays
00:20:51.540
You do not want to set the precedence that the National Guard is under the direction of
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.
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
00:21:43.640
I mean, you know, you you obviously don't believe that he's a dictator when you are in that state
00:22:06.640
We're not even we're not even giving a thought to whether or not we should be doing this.
00:22:21.620
Did you did you see the guy who probably this is the study that probably had the president
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.
00:22:48.240
Well, now the guy who did the study says, I think we might have enough ICU beds and it's
00:23:02.820
More than half of those, he said, would have died by the end of the year in any way, in
00:23:17.640
Now you're saying 20,000 by the end of the year and they probably would have died anyway.
00:23:29.460
And as I was reading into his reasoning, his reasoning for his optimism seems to be the
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.
00:23:51.020
But they were doing, you know, the encouraged social distancing and all of that before social
00:24:00.320
We're talking about the shutting down of economies.
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
00:24:35.760
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
00:25:09.100
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.
00:25:35.020
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
00:25:52.180
Well, if they move the Kennedy Center to Madagascar at any point.
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
00:26:33.940
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.
00:27:23.180
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
00:27:53.640
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
00:28:10.960
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.
00:28:38.140
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
