00:00:04.940 um so today we talked about the shaming from the media at people who went outside on memorial day

00:00:12.700 weekend if you went to the beach you're the enemy and the media was all over it especially if you

00:00:17.380 happen to live in a red state i've noticed it seems to be one of the big parts of criticism

00:00:20.640 plus we point to an amazing story that took an amazing twist from canada as it relates to this

00:00:26.600 we'll go into that today um also uh we'll talk about more criticism from the left on amazon

00:00:32.640 and how evil they are uh making just not paying enough taxes pat and they make a lot of money

00:00:38.720 um so they really shouldn't even exist because it makes you bad you know billionaires shouldn't exist

00:00:44.260 we learned that during the campaign not uh should you be paying more taxes than you're required to

00:00:49.800 pay yes an interesting question that even bernie sanders seems to agree with us on but we'll get

00:01:46.040 pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program 7 uh 888-727-BECK uh you know this kiss in the park

00:01:57.340 in canada where a guy approached a girl and and spontaneously kissed her the cvc apparently

00:02:05.940 broadcast that now they've apologized because he didn't ask her in advance or whatever if he could

00:02:10.940 kiss her and people are pissed off on her behalf well wait a minute if she's not mad why do you care 1.00

00:02:17.360 you you can't you're not the judge of that she is and she enjoyed it clearly everybody knows that

00:02:24.660 and what's empowering for a woman here is it is it that some you know male executive gets to decide

00:02:32.300 oh that was a non-consensual situation or that she gets to decide yeah that it's a non-consensual

00:02:37.280 situation she's the one that should does that mean that there can be no spontaneity anymore in a

00:02:42.680 romance at all yeah you can never just kiss somebody right i mean that's it's part of the magic right

00:02:48.900 yes like if you're just saying ma'am i am thinking about putting my lips on your lips 0.99

00:02:54.920 would you mind signing this notarized we'll get the notarized then we can have the kiss afterwards

00:02:59.680 but would you sign this form and we'll have our lawyers negotiate it triplicate please sign your

00:03:04.580 initial here sign there and initial right there but the mad that loses the magic of a first kiss

00:03:09.540 does it not yeah right time i mean if you were to if you were to uh to survey the audience right

00:03:16.300 now every happily married couple take a minute of a hundred happily married couples and ask them

00:03:24.060 on their first kiss did you ask for permission to start that kiss with outward like permission

00:03:32.480 obviously we all get physical signals right like that's how most people would would try to calculate

00:03:37.440 whether they're allowed to do it or not you know if does she seem into it does he seem into it then

00:03:42.820 you go for it right i mean that's kind of how it usually goes there's a leaning there's a there's

00:03:46.860 a certain amount of leaning towards each other that indicates the kiss is coming there's all these

00:03:51.480 things this is a dance right it's it's this is supposed to be something that's not easily defined

00:03:57.880 that's what makes that's the magic of a relationship so instead there's this now this thing where you have

00:04:05.020 to have it down in black and white and i if you said i asked a hundred people what would what

00:04:09.420 would the percentage be who actually physically ask may i kiss you or can i kiss you it's got to

00:04:13.740 be percent yeah 20 maybe there could be a reason why you might do it it might be a a romantic ask in

00:04:19.240 a certain certain especially if it was 10 years ago or more um the chances i think go way down

00:04:25.820 uh the chances that you said may i may i kiss you right because i i mean my wife kissed me on our

00:04:35.100 first kiss oh my god and she did not non-consensual she did not ask my permission 0.98

00:04:40.040 stew she did not ask me if it was okay in fact she jumped me and practically knocked me over the 1.00

00:04:47.220 railing uh into her parents bushes uh i barely caught my balance uh she just she just leapt in 0.99

00:04:57.480 and and went for it uh and she did not say may i kiss you please now this is this is uh this is

00:05:05.140 stunning to me because look i love your wife's cookies which sounds more flirtatious than it is 1.00

00:05:10.860 she actually has a cookie company uh scrumptious cookie.com exactly right right yeah i would like

00:05:16.440 to go buy more cookies there but i'm a little after this non-consensual news i'm a little right i don't

00:05:21.500 i don't know if i want to support a business like that disgusted by her right and yes it was you know 1.00

00:05:26.660 37 years ago but still that doesn't make it right i can see the echoes of that event in your soul do

00:05:33.320 you see that i'm still a little bit troubled by it

00:05:37.340 no look we can go back and watch you watch the mad men era right where like every secretary went by

00:05:45.220 and got groped as they were bringing their copies to the to the executives no one wants to go back to

00:05:49.980 that i mean we're not no one's arguing that there was a clip actually that happened um relatively

00:05:55.860 recently was a news anchor was filing a report and i want to say someone came by and like gave her a

00:06:00.240 little like slap on the butt as they were walking by and she got and like completely inappropriate

00:06:06.180 completely wrong uh obviously and there's a good a good example for you should be outraged i would be

00:06:13.360 outraged if that happened to my wife i would be freaking pissed off yes and so i understand that like

00:06:18.020 totally that's a totally different situation than someone being kissed and outwardly telling you

00:06:23.700 she's excited about it and you still apologize for it and basically call this guy a rapist

00:06:30.020 yeah i mean you're telling it's ridiculous when you have him on camera you've given his name

00:06:34.660 and then you're saying he was engaging in non-consensual behavior like what is this guy's

00:06:40.080 life like today he i guess if you've seen the clip everyone would say come on that's ridiculous

00:06:45.640 but still you now have it kind of on your record till the end of time when there's no victim by

00:06:50.420 the way no victim no victim at all that's a victimless crime right there yeah and it seems

00:06:55.080 like it's a real crime now so i don't know how a i have no idea you know even though your terrible

00:07:01.640 origin story of your relationship which sounds so devastating for you yeah it was horrifying it was

00:07:06.720 horrifying uh that aside i'm i keep thinking to myself good god i'm glad i don't have to date in

00:07:12.900 this environment i would have no idea what the hell to do i'd have no idea i i feel for you if

00:07:17.620 you're out there trying this right now and especially in the workplace how do you meet

00:07:20.900 anybody at work now you can't right you can't even approach somebody in in a romantic way at work

00:07:27.860 yeah and otherwise it's sexual harassment that was my only chance too because i mean i you know

00:07:32.660 look i don't have a game you know i'm not a guy who could uh who could achieve there wasn't a

00:07:38.420 a lot of picking up in bars that was going to go on in my life the only only chance i ever had was

00:07:43.080 being around long enough to annoy them into take you know to entertaining the the idea that was

00:07:48.240 basically my only approach and it worked at least once so you have that going on the work thing is a

00:07:55.740 big part especially if if you think back pat to uh you know in our industry in particular

00:08:01.060 this is as dumb of an industry as it is it's one that you are constantly working especially young

00:08:08.700 when you're young in your career if you're not working 20 hours a day you get nowhere in this

00:08:13.140 industry because there's a lot of people who want to be on the radio and want all their free concert

00:08:17.180 tickets and all the crap that goes along with with radio as you're coming up in it every you know a

00:08:23.560 lot of people want to do it so you have to outwork everybody you have no time to do anything

00:08:27.360 you know there's no partying there's like you might get a little bit of that here and there

00:08:31.560 but generally speaking it's just one of those industries where you're working for no money

00:08:35.900 really long hours doing work that no one else wants to do that's that's essentially your first

00:08:39.980 10 years in the industry for most people and that is a a situation it is not conducive at all

00:08:46.100 to going out and dating people who aren't also in your industry yeah you know it's working weekends

00:08:52.000 working nights working holidays yeah all of that stuff you know i think back to uh my wife who's

00:08:57.340 also in radio no no surprise uh she we used to have um she would have new year's eve gigs every 0.99

00:09:04.980 new year's eve and so if you think about like the typical new year's eve couples thing that you do

00:09:08.900 you're out somewhere the the ball comes down and you kiss your significant other kind of like that

00:09:13.480 typical thing that happens i know with you pat you make out with random strangers on the street

00:09:17.240 usually in that moment like crazy but like so for 15 20 years myself and my wife she would be on 0.68

00:09:24.880 stage doing a countdown at some club because that was what she did and i would be sitting by myself

00:09:30.780 at the bar watching waiting for her to be done so we could go home together but there was no none of

00:09:36.300 that stuff happened because she was always on stage randomly making out with other people 0.96

00:09:40.540 no i'm not kidding uh that didn't happen pat was there one time but forget it so my point is

00:09:45.480 that is like it takes you out of that realm and a lot of jobs are like that it's not just radio

00:09:50.540 when you're really you know busting your butt to try to get somewhere in your career those are the

00:09:55.620 people you're around so now you can't do anything with them you apparently can't even if you meet

00:10:00.620 someone randomly in the park and spend a day with them you can't even kiss them even when they want

00:10:04.480 that to happen i would have no idea how to navigate these waters i don't know i would have absolutely no

00:10:10.280 clue and if you're trying to do it especially if you were someone who maybe had a relationship early

00:10:15.800 that a long-term relationship when you were you know let's say you're in your early 20s you're in a

00:10:20.100 long-term relationship maybe you get married you get divorced and now you're back on the dating

00:10:22.980 scene and you're trying to jump back into that world after already dealing with it i don't know

00:10:27.300 how anybody would do it look at this this this woman in a park had that that's a nice origin story 0.98

00:10:35.020 isn't it i think so right like if they when they if they get married 30 years from now they're gonna be

00:10:40.380 like so we're in the park and we're hanging out and i had to go to a store i came back she was gone

00:10:45.120 but she left her number and i really wanted to you know contact her i was so excited and then i saw her

00:10:49.320 across the park she was in the middle of a news interview and i just walked right in and i gave

00:10:52.920 her a kiss and that's how mommy and daddy met how i met your your mother those are awesome stories

00:10:57.360 yeah that's a good would be a great story now i thought this one was going to end differently

00:11:01.060 because when he first kissed her i thought oh she's going to be pissed yeah and nope the exact 0.97

00:11:06.280 opposite and so then you're fine okay well it turned out well so now they got something to tell

00:11:10.960 their grandkids yeah if that worked out it's yeah it's a it's a nice story and i and i'll say

00:11:15.220 you know to the to the point of the whole coronavirus part of this we act as if you can

00:11:23.220 take think about this you're taking everybody in their 20s who's single whose entire life for the

00:11:29.760 past few years has been go to a bar try to meet girls go to a bar try to meet guys it's courtship

00:11:37.180 you're in that period of your life where that's a big part of it right and you're basically saying

00:11:42.440 with this shutdown just turn it all off for a few months like that is not something you can just do

00:11:50.360 easily these this is an entire world where you're saying no courtship essentially in your prime

00:11:57.640 courtship eras error uh era just turn it off for a few months and you know what maybe it's 18 months

00:12:03.440 maybe it's maybe it's it's so we get a vaccine could be a few years like that's completely insane

00:12:07.980 it's a foundational part of the it's a building block literally of the human existence of our

00:12:14.280 species yeah you can't just turn it off how would you meet people if you're not allowed to go near

00:12:21.320 another human being how do you have a relationship you're asking these people some people who what if

00:12:28.360 you're dating someone and it's like you're on the borderline does this continue does it not

00:12:31.620 well i guess it doesn't because we can't see each other like this is a big ask and the fact that

00:12:38.400 people want to go out and be at a pool within six feet of each other after multiple months of not

00:12:43.300 being able to see another human being is not it's not a crazy instinct it's not no you do your best

00:12:49.800 right we can't turn society off it's not just the economy it is society here we are talking about

00:12:56.140 the reason our species continues to exist right like it's that big of a deal if you extend it long

00:13:03.900 enough you kind of have to allow some of that to happen well like you said we don't even know how

00:13:09.460 long this continues they've been telling us what might last up to 18 months it might last up to 18

00:13:15.560 months i mean you know with the economy that's absurd but with relationships it's dangerous to

00:13:23.620 civilization right what is the like everyone's like oh there's going to be this big birth boom

00:13:29.160 uh in quarantine which i i don't know if that has happened i i i kind of tend to doubt it who are

00:13:34.880 already married maybe maybe although i i tend to think everyone was just disgusted with each other

00:13:39.260 after a couple weeks i mean that's a it's been potentially revealing for my own situation but i think

00:13:45.420 like generally speaking people are just disgusted that's why everyone's got puppies there's no baby boom

00:13:50.440 i mean there's just a puppy boom that's all there is the best of the glenn beck program

00:13:57.040 it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program he's on uh vacation this week uh and uh

00:14:09.120 i i he's eating really healthily he just ordered uh five dozen of our cookies from

00:14:15.460 my wife's cookie company which is a scrumptious cookie.com yes if you'd like to order some for

00:14:21.420 yourself and we just opened this up to eight more states so that's that's just to start we're doing

00:14:26.240 the west then we're gonna do the i don't know where we go from here but hopefully soon everything will

00:14:32.360 be opened up uh but scrumptious cookie.com if you'd like to get some delicious cookies and you've

00:14:37.280 opened up the factory in wuhan i understand in wuhan congratulations so you can get the covid 19

00:14:42.320 chocolate chip cookie delicious it's worth it i would say i would get covid 19 to eat one of your

00:14:47.220 wife's chocolate chip cookies they're delicious uh that's he so he ordered five he ordered five

00:14:52.780 dozen of them this is after what two or three dozen last week and a couple dozen the week before

00:15:00.000 so look for him to come back a little more visible than he's even been uh up until this point

00:15:06.640 because there will be more of him to view does anyone else is anyone else getting these cookies

00:15:11.820 is it like for the house or is it just glenn just no just glenn it's just he keeps him in like a

00:15:16.080 bathroom like cabinet and just as he sneaks in and eats a cookie every time he goes i don't know man

00:15:21.140 but he has been for sure our biggest client so far in many ways in many ways in many ways yes uh yeah no

00:15:28.480 it's those are delicious and i can understand that order um however i will say this is very common

00:15:34.500 maybe not with the cook your your cookies in particular but people are just eating eating

00:15:39.300 like yeah well because it's comforting right it is you just i mean things are so different and we've

00:15:44.960 been turned upside down and so you just want some kind of comfort and so you turn to food yeah and i

00:15:51.700 kept thinking to myself you know we used to go out we would go out to eat maybe my wife would always 1.00

00:15:55.100 we have date night or whatever on the weekend we go out and have a nice dinner if we can

00:15:58.300 and we were saving that money for a while and i thought to myself you know

00:16:02.100 what i should do is spend that money on food that i can have shipped to me so i was going on that

00:16:07.940 gold belly ever you ever use gold belly that's one of those sites i haven't it's basically like a

00:16:12.280 door dash or whatever no not exactly it's no so uber eats will deliver from restaurants around you

00:16:17.660 right yeah the door dash or uh excuse me um gold belly is like all of the best foods from all around

00:16:24.440 the country so it's almost like a a national door dash in a way so like if you want a new york pizza

00:16:30.260 from the new york place they will get it and they freeze it and send it to you and it comes

00:16:35.400 oh wow directly from the place so the best you know cakes and cookies and you should get on there

00:16:40.940 with the cookie company for sure um pies everything the famous ones expensive it is uh it's on the

00:16:45.800 expensive side for sure yeah um you know because it's quick shipping and yeah yeah but like again

00:16:50.900 like if i'm gonna you know if i'm gonna spend a normal i'll go to a normal restaurant around here

00:16:55.320 that might be okay and you're gonna spend what 30 bucks a person or whatever you can if you're

00:17:00.520 gonna spend 30 bucks a person you can get the best you know pizza or like i ordered some place

00:17:05.540 i've sent lasagna it was unbelievable like i was like again you know you're heating you're reheating

00:17:11.180 it and stuff but hey why not i'm in a quarantine i might as well get the best food from around the

00:17:16.380 country was my theory i like that that's a good idea it's also a great way to gain weight yes because

00:17:21.280 then you get large portions of delicious food from around the country and you can just kind of just

00:17:26.380 dive in whenever you want and that's a really not a great thing for your physique no and my problem is

00:17:32.220 i'm the only one in my house doing that so i don't know becoming extremely extraordinarily large

00:17:38.720 i've outgrown the house now i have to live in a separate oh no yeah a separate domicile from the

00:17:44.520 rest of my family because they're all doing healthier stuff oh i hate those people oh they're just they

00:17:49.040 make me sick they make me sick my wife is full-fledged vegetarian now for probably six or 1.00

00:17:55.040 eight months uh my one of my sons has become a vegetarian vegetarian but only about three weeks

00:18:01.120 worth but he's doing really well not eating meat for three weeks and one of my daughters also not

00:18:05.820 eating meat and they're all on this health kick of vegetables every night sorry i'm not joining you in

00:18:11.560 that quite clearly will you will you accept the vegetables on the side of your steak or no no no not even

00:18:17.720 on the side nowhere on my plate it is an interesting thing you know um uh this i talked to uh the guy

00:18:25.360 who is the ceo of impossible foods um you know the impossible burger yeah and it was something that you

00:18:31.580 guys taste tested on the air live with real meat and the impossible burger and couldn't tell the

00:18:36.400 difference couldn't tell the difference in fact i think you both said that the impossible burger was

00:18:40.740 the real burger i think we did yeah uh and the which was crazy was that in the burger king test is

00:18:45.780 no that was the it was another place oh yeah another yeah the higher end one yeah the higher

00:18:49.440 end one and so i was talking to him and it was interesting about him i thought was he is like

00:18:55.900 you know look he he wants to make a burger that people eat instead of meat like it's out his his goal

00:19:02.180 is to to to win that battle but he wants to do it within capitalism and he was talking about the how

00:19:07.560 what the great things that capitalism has accomplished and how wow he's not looking for government help he's

00:19:12.720 not going to shame anyone into eating it and this guy's probably not conservative right yeah i don't

00:19:16.940 know what his politics are he you know he definitely was friendly to capitalism definitely like didn't he

00:19:22.620 said a couple times he said uh you know i look what we want from the government is for them to get out

00:19:26.960 of our way so we can do our thing nice like like i love hearing that yeah i don't even get that from

00:19:31.640 exxon anymore right i can't get a freaking company to say the free market does anything and i'm getting

00:19:37.200 it from the guy who's making you know vegetarian meat products i can get it from him but i can't

00:19:42.460 get it from uh you know bp yeah what happened i i don't i don't understand they've all caved they've

00:19:48.060 all caved they all act as if the free market is this evil thing and here you know here's a guy who's

00:19:52.640 saying like look we want to win this battle because our product is not as good as meat but better we want

00:19:58.200 people to like it more you gotta love that attitude that's a great attitude i i really liked i liked

00:20:02.920 hearing that it was it was a really interesting conversation and i think he's you'd like you like

00:20:07.080 the someone who's gonna you know he was a you know scientist and he left this to start this company

00:20:11.360 and he's built i mean i you know it is as you know as well it tastes really really good and you

00:20:17.200 know whether you like it's up to you but i like that he's like you know free choice like the only way

00:20:21.740 that this is going to happen he brought up a great example of uh in china they chinese government

00:20:27.780 told their people to cut meat uh intake by i think like 50 he's like you know the chinese 1.00

00:20:34.140 government has some success level with convincing people to do things in their country like i basically

00:20:40.160 control it and as he pointed out like they basically did nothing they didn't change their

00:20:44.200 habits at all he's like if the chinese government's threats won't stop you to change 0.92

00:20:48.600 wow your habits trying to convince people to not eat meat or say hey you know what it's really good

00:20:53.600 for the environment or whatever it's not going to change their habits what's going to change

00:20:56.600 their habits is if they like it more offer them a better alternative exactly brilliant yeah and he's

00:21:01.940 like you know we can do we're gonna you know eventually get to the point where this is cheaper

00:21:05.360 than than than meat that you're traditionally getting we're not there yet we're not there

00:21:09.320 actually it's right it's not there yet but it's getting there uh you know that you'll like he's

00:21:12.960 like it'll be healthier you'll like it more like you know again it's his company he's saying good

00:21:16.440 things about it but it was i just love the approach the fact that he wasn't trying to shame us into

00:21:20.600 it he wasn't trying to say he even said he's like you know i don't want a farm bill that helps our

00:21:25.340 company i want them out of our way wow that's really refreshing yeah kind of what it kind of is

00:21:31.480 he actually mentioned uh your taste test with you and glenn on uh he did a podcast have you heard of

00:21:36.680 how i built this um i think i have yeah it's one where they basically profile companies and they

00:21:42.340 actually mentioned they mentioned glenn in the middle of this and the taste test that you guys

00:21:47.860 did the guy the ceo of the company saw the video so uh wow here listen to this clip it's from how i

00:21:53.300 built this from npr just last year um you you upgraded the recipe for the burger and then you

00:21:59.500 began rolling it out at grocery stores and then at burger king which introduced uh the impossible

00:22:06.040 whopper that people went crazy for and then applebee's and white castle and all these other chains

00:22:11.500 started selling it and people loved it i mean i think even even like glenn beck you know people like

00:22:17.260 who are like you you would imagine would go after vegetarians are like uh like they they loved it 0.96

00:22:23.400 right he he was he was hilarious did you see that video yeah oh it's hilarious yeah yeah glenn beck is

00:22:29.220 like this is i eat this this is great i can't tell the difference and you went from like just you know

00:22:35.760 david chang and a couple restaurants in 2016 to now it's they're everywhere and see the surprising

00:22:42.080 thing there is that they've discovered that conservatives will like something if it's

00:22:47.260 quality well yeah we don't care about the ideology give if if it tastes as good or better than meat

00:22:53.480 i'll definitely eat it it's just like we've been saying for years give me an alternative to an suv

00:23:00.100 to gasoline powered engines that is viable all the time where i can you know i don't have to

00:23:08.060 completely turn my life upside down to use it yeah and we'll use it that's what elon musk has tried

00:23:13.300 to do right with tesla yep you know we have a we have one of the producers here at the blaze

00:23:17.620 who has installed the solar panels and um uh tesla batteries in their house uh and every every month

00:23:27.300 he sends me a text he's like check this out it's just this electricity bill it's like 10 cents like

00:23:32.900 legitimately like 10 cents for the month provide an alternative we'll use it he liked it he likes it

00:23:37.700 better and it works great for him i mean it might not work if you're in some cloudy area or i don't

00:23:41.720 know how you know like there's certain differences in different places but he's in texas and it works

00:23:47.020 great for him he basically pays nothing for electricity now that he's paid for the system

00:23:51.180 wow um and and so those things i think that's how you win these battles you don't win the battle by

00:23:56.640 saying well uh you know you're a bad person if you don't do the thing that i want the same way

00:24:02.740 by the way when we talk about the covid thing that we're dealing with now you're never going to win

00:24:07.440 the battle by screaming at someone not wearing a mask in a grocery store like if you believe the

00:24:12.520 thing that doesn't help the cause at all try to convince people try to show them you know lead

00:24:16.780 by example be cool you know talk to somebody about like why you think this is you know is the right

00:24:22.400 thing but if it's not you know you do your own thing that sort of stuff is much more effective

00:24:26.860 than screaming at people in a grocery store that's insanity yet that's that's the left's approach to

00:24:32.260 everything every one of these issues you know what yeah well you're a bad person if you use too

00:24:36.580 much electricity you're a bad person if you eat meat you're a bad person if you don't wear a mask

00:24:40.760 you're bad you're bad you're bad you're bad well i'm sorry we see you you're not that great 0.88

00:24:45.300 you know you can't you know if if i read it you know in the bible i mean people have a tough enough

00:24:51.340 time listening to that and that's the ultimate authority i think i can listen to you because

00:24:55.960 your stupid instagram comments because you've shamed me at a at a beach doesn't work on anybody does 0.82

00:25:03.080 it no that's why this approach uh from what's his name the the inventor of the impossible burger uh

00:25:11.080 pat brown pat brown okay yeah so that's why that's such a great approach it's a great approach yeah

00:25:16.040 make a good product and people will just gravitate toward it yeah i have a you know a decent amount of

00:25:20.800 people yeah i mean i as you know i'm a vegetarian i will say glenbeck does come after vegetarians

00:25:25.080 me um but almost every day almost every day but most people in my life don't you know don't

00:25:30.920 aren't idiots like me um and so they eat they at least it's not a vegetarian is she she's not but 0.96

00:25:36.340 she no she loves that impossible burger man a lot of them because of course i order it because i like

00:25:41.520 it they try it and then they wind up just ordering it because they like it yeah right so that's how you

00:25:47.160 win that's how you win that battle you're not going to win that battle by guilting people and putting

00:25:52.340 scary videos on the internet and you know that is not how that happens i think it's a great it was

00:25:57.080 just it was it's a nice approach to hear it was nice to hear a freaking person in business say

00:26:02.180 something good about the the free market for once and i'm sorry what show was that uh part of oh uh

00:26:07.080 stew does america stew does america yes where would i find that well you can go to youtube search for

00:26:11.200 stew okay and i'll be the first one there and watch every episode for free or sign up on podcast

00:26:14.700 fascinating this is the best of the glenn beck program and don't forget rate us on itunes

00:26:24.280 it's pat and stew for glenn 888-727-BECK uh anthony fauci says that if america doesn't reopen soon

00:26:40.060 it will suffer irreparable damage uh totally reasonable yes i would agree and and totally

00:26:47.980 reasonable and thank you for finally saying it yeah uh and it's smart for him to say it is smart

00:26:53.560 for him to say um i wish he would have said it before this but that's i mean this i can't argue

00:26:59.240 with that that's that's he's not i mean he has been saying all along i'm the medical guy i'm the one

00:27:06.180 who tells you yes what to do medically i'm not the economy guy although now he is saying we can't

00:27:13.200 stay locked down forever because it will destroy the economy and it will it will of course it will

00:27:18.580 and that's why you know if you want to look at this in a positive light of what we've attempted to do

00:27:23.580 here you could look at it like a panic room right someone's breaking into your house you go into your

00:27:27.500 panic room you lock the doors down you wait for police to come but that's a temporary solution it is

00:27:32.640 not a it's not any like it's not an extensive solution if you stay in your panic room for the

00:27:36.500 rest of your life you eventually just die right like that's not a good it's not a good idea it's

00:27:42.700 it's a temporary horrible it's a horrible solution to a problem that is massive like locking yourself in

00:27:49.900 a room in your home uh with no windows is not a good solution for almost any situation just one

00:27:56.760 situation it's a good solution for which is there's someone breaking into your house with a gun

00:28:00.320 um this is a the same thing that we have attempted here whether you know you can argue whether you

00:28:05.940 like the results or not i think everyone understands that it's terrible for the economy

00:28:10.040 it does have long lasting repercussions and it will be damaging the longer it goes on

00:28:16.540 you can't you can't let this stuff go forever and places like la county in particular or even new

00:28:22.520 york is opening up la county's like um august 2026 we're gonna start that's got a 25 capacity

00:28:29.620 at restaurants wait a minute i can't believe how many people live in the conservative movement too

00:28:34.940 are dealing with life in la county right now that's got to be yeah it's got to be hell uh yes

00:28:42.180 and it will be hell again if they shut us down again if there's a second wave that's what i'm a

00:28:47.460 little nervous about is the second wave yeah if it comes and it might it might there might be a

00:28:52.540 second wave and then you know they will insist once again that we shut down the economy again

00:28:58.480 uh and we've got to be ready to say uh no not this time we're not doing that yeah that was one of the

00:29:05.020 initial solutions they were talking about which was you lock it down first get the disease down low

00:29:09.720 and every time you have a new outbreak you just lock it down again for another month and you're

00:29:15.240 like so you're like two months in in regular life and then back for a month in lockdown and back

00:29:19.760 and forth until we have a vaccine i can't that's just screwing with people's heads yeah i don't

00:29:23.840 know that you could deal with that as i don't know how society would would would handle something like

00:29:28.840 that especially american society you know like they did a lot of this stuff we wouldn't handle that

00:29:32.960 well yeah like there's a lot of places that attempted things like this in asia but it's a

00:29:37.340 totally different culture right like it's it's a culture that was it's much more used to dealing

00:29:42.140 with the government telling you you're not leaving your home for a certain amount of time

00:29:45.300 this is totally foreign to the american culture and look you we gave it this time it was obviously

00:29:52.960 a serious thing i mean these numbers are higher than almost anyone predicted but still like we did

00:29:59.820 that we need to find a way going forward we gave you your time to prepare we did a lot of sacrifice

00:30:05.000 has already been done we have to be able to go back to normal life at some level even if it's with

00:30:09.940 some precautions it's only sensible and even our overlord anthony fauci is saying that this is the glenn beck
