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

you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
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
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
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
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
00:04:47.220
railing uh into her parents bushes uh i barely caught my balance uh she just she just leapt in
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
