00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. The World Health Organization is blatantly tied to China.
00:00:05.700 We've seen their actions over the last few weeks, and they've been really disturbing in the way
00:00:10.440 they've acted. They're protecting China, who's been lying to us the entire time. We get into
00:00:14.420 that. Pat Gray is on, and he has some great new news about hydroxychloroquine, which is showing
00:00:20.860 some real promise. Some doctors are out there saying this could be the big solution. We really
00:00:25.700 hope that it is, or at least something steps into that role. We talk about whether 5G is causing
00:00:31.720 coronavirus. There's a theory going around about that. We get into it with an expert on 5G.
00:00:37.820 Tiger King is on the plate for today with the actual sheriff from the area talking about the
00:00:45.980 accusation of one of the people in the show being accused of murder of her ex-husband.
00:00:53.820 And Alyssa Milano has a brand new standard on the Me Too movement. You're going to love it.
00:00:59.560 Also want to remind you, if you happen to be available on tonight, which is Tuesday night,
00:01:06.660 if you are listening on the day of, Glenn Beck's arguing with socialists. It's launch day. It's
00:01:11.960 out today. You can get it on Amazon, of course, as well as glennbeck.com. Another great way to get
00:01:17.180 it is at glennbeckbooksigning.com. Why? Well, we can't do book signings. I don't know if you've
00:01:22.840 noticed there's a global pandemic going on right now. But if you go to glennbeckbooksigning.com,
00:01:28.580 you can join him and get a signed copy of the book anyway. We'll do an online virtual signing
00:01:35.840 tonight. It's at 7 p.m. Eastern. You can also get a question asked for Glenn. He'll be answering
00:01:40.760 questions throughout the night. So make sure to go out there. And I will say, I mean, you want to
00:01:45.120 talk about a great booking. Stu Does America has Glenn Beck on as well, as well as Michael Malice
00:01:50.020 today. That's a great show on Stu Does America tonight as well. You can subscribe on your podcast
00:01:55.700 app. And make sure to join us tonight again at glennbeckbooksigning.com. Here's the podcast.
00:02:00.300 All right, our coronavirus update for the day. Here are the confirmed cases worldwide. 1,359,010 people.
00:02:24.260 That's up. That is up almost 100,000 from yesterday. Total confirmed deaths worldwide up 5,000 to
00:02:34.520 75,906. We now have 367,650 confirmed cases. That is up from 336. So about about 30,000 cases. New
00:02:48.480 cases were confirmed yesterday. 9,600 deaths yesterday to 10,943. That's 100. Sorry, 1,300 more
00:03:06.940 deaths. That is an astonishing number. Now, in the Motor City, there are more than 700 employers
00:03:16.860 in one Detroit hospital system that have now tested positive. 700 employees, 700 people in one hospital
00:03:26.820 system. This is the Henry Ford Hospital campus. They confirmed yesterday they have 731 cases of
00:03:34.800 coronavirus among the employees at the hospital. That accounts for 2% in the hospital system's 3,100 or
00:03:43.300 31,000 employees. There is as many as 1,500 at another hospital in the state that have reported
00:03:51.000 symptoms similar to the coronavirus. Those numbers are not confirmed cases yet. The doctors say if we
00:03:59.940 are going to test the whole population, you would see large, large numbers of people who are testing
00:04:06.120 positive. Testing positive is a measure of how contagious this virus is. It doesn't mean how deadly
00:04:13.000 it is. The hospital put out a statement saying our team members are our greatest asset and the health
00:04:19.700 and safety is top priority as we continue to respond to this pandemic. That is remarkable, the number of
00:04:28.360 people sick in this hospital. We know we are not immune to potential exposure and we remain grateful
00:04:33.840 for the courage and dedication of our entire team. Detroit, Michigan's largest city has seen a surge
00:04:41.260 of coronavirus cases in recent days. While the state itself has seen just over 17,000 cases of the virus,
00:04:49.060 the third largest total of any state in the U.S., more than 5,000 of those cases were reported in Detroit,
00:04:56.280 where hundreds have already died. The invisible enemy is COVID-19 hiding in our cells. COVID-19 may be able to remain
00:05:08.700 in the body and reactivate later. This comes after testing 51 recovered patients who found themselves
00:05:18.400 with the same symptoms. The patients from South Korea had spent time in quarantine while recovering from the disease
00:05:28.300 and they were they passed all the tests and showed that they were coronavirus free. They were released within a couple of days.
00:05:38.080 They were back in the hospital. The center said it did not believe the patients had been reinfected, but that the virus
00:05:44.600 had remained at an undetectable level in their cells and for some reason later reactivated.
00:05:51.760 The claim runs contrary to the bulk of current evidence about how the virus works. Investigators say the most likely explanation
00:05:59.060 was that the clearance samples for the patients were false negatives. This is a common issue.
00:06:05.780 Now they're saying maybe we shouldn't go to the grocery store at all. Coronavirus deaths are spiking in Los Angeles
00:06:13.400 and with the critical week ahead, health officials have advised residents on Monday to stay at home
00:06:20.120 and avoid shopping to limit the spread of the virus. If officials say you have enough supplies in your home
00:06:27.500 this week and next week, you should skip going out or doing any kind of shopping whatsoever.
00:06:34.540 Officials confirmed 420 new coronavirus cases in the county and 15 deaths on Monday.
00:06:42.220 Have you heard that there is a surge now, uh, of coronavirus with those people who were working
00:06:49.600 in grocery stores? They are starting to get sick. Now the biggest problem that I see coming from this
00:06:56.120 besides the American economy and what's going to be done with socialism comes from Mexico, Mexico.
00:07:05.140 This is the first time I've seen this story. Mexico slow response may cause problems for Texas.
00:07:11.320 As recently as March 15th, some 40,000 concert goers crowded into a stadium for the Latino music
00:07:20.000 festival. Tourists from Europe and the United States were able to enter the country without
00:07:25.600 any restrictions until late last week. Restaurants, airports, subways, grocery stores remain open
00:07:32.540 in Mexico City, though churches and large markets have closed. The rapid spread of the COVID-19,
00:07:39.440 however, has begun to increase the urgency of the government's response. Mexican health authorities
00:07:45.600 reported on March 16th. The country only had 82 cases of COVID-19. Two weeks later, that number swelled to
00:07:54.240 nearly 2,400, including 125 deaths. The health minister, Hugo, Hugo Lopez-Gatal, who two weeks ago
00:08:04.240 dismissed U.S. social distancing restrictions as an extreme tactic and irresponsible is now urging
00:08:12.920 citizens to stay home, stay at home, stay at home, end quote. If you have enough food, stay at home,
00:08:21.620 still quoting. There is no reason good enough to go out, period. The president, President Oberdor,
00:08:29.720 spent the first half of March dismissing the gravity of the virus, encouraging Mexicans to
00:08:34.600 frequent restaurants and posting videos of himself in crowds kissing babies. He said Mexico's
00:08:40.640 spirituality is going to protect the country against the virus, and he made a public display of pulling
00:08:46.440 out two religious amulets that he said would be his shield. And finally, is this the virus or is this
00:08:55.480 the big government communists in China? Hong Kong is now closed to all foreign travelers indefinitely.
00:09:06.360 The city has extended its ban on arrivals after most cases over the past two weeks have come from
00:09:11.680 overseas. Only six of 24 newly infected yesterday are local transmissions, but all are linked to
00:09:19.980 entertainment venues that are already closed. All entertainment venues are closed until further
00:09:25.540 notice. Hong Kong recently issued a new state of emergency order revoking travel into the country from
00:09:32.340 outside the nation, including China. The order will prevent Hong Kong from opening up its economy through
00:09:39.180 at least early May. There's one more story that we missed yesterday, and that is when do you think we are
00:09:47.680 going to open up our borders and open up our economy? Well, there is a group that has done a study on this
00:09:57.480 on when we are going to open things up at all. And it shows that if we use the model used in China, it will be
00:10:09.940 May 16th. If we use the the SARS model, we won't be opening things up until July 18th. Sorry, June 18th, June
00:10:24.080 18th. But with China opening things up and Hong Kong opening things up and it hitting again, all bets are
00:10:34.220 currently off. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:10:53.520 This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to Tuesday. I want to talk a little bit about this madness with the
00:11:01.020 uh, hydroxy chloroquine, uh, debate. The, the press is treating this like it is
00:11:09.080 leeches. Uh, you know, the president's so crazy. He wants to, he wants to use leeches to go ahead and
00:11:17.500 try to help people. And then he says, you know, you got a headache. We'll put your head in the
00:11:22.300 guillotine. And that's not what he's talking about. Yeah. CNN is so they are so invested in this,
00:11:30.820 in contradicting and trashing everything Trump says. They won't even consider that there's an
00:11:35.760 upside to this treatment. They won't even consider it. Uh, and there is an upside. There's a huge
00:11:42.020 upside. Absolutely. Uh, listen to this LA doctor. Now this is a doctor who is actually treating patients
00:11:50.040 who have COVID-19. Here's what he says about it.
00:11:53.260 I do want to ask you about hydroxy chloroquine. The president was pushing it pretty strong again
00:11:57.200 yesterday. You said, uh, you have prescribed this. I want to talk to you about the effects
00:12:01.980 you're seeing and what it might do for people who take it normally outside of coronavirus and a
00:12:07.420 possible shortage of medicine for them. Exactly. We're, we're finding clinically with our patients
00:12:13.360 is that it really only works in conjunction with zinc. So the hydroxy chloroquine opens a zinc channel,
00:12:18.460 zinc goes into the cell. It then blocks the replication of the, of the cellular machinery.
00:12:22.700 So it has to be used in conjunction with zinc. We are seeing some clinical responses in that regard.
00:12:28.120 There are people that take it regularly for other disease processes. We have to be cautious
00:12:33.060 and mindful that we don't prescribe it for patients who have COVID that are well. It really
00:12:38.300 should be reserved for people that are really sick in the hospital or at home, very sick that
00:12:43.080 need that medication. Otherwise we're going to blow through our supply. The patients that take it
00:12:46.820 regularly for other disease processes. But what you're saying is you're prescribing it and it is
00:12:51.020 working for COVID-19 patients. Every patient I've prescribed it to has been very, very ill.
00:12:57.340 And within eight to 12 hours, they were basically symptom free. And so clinically I am seeing a
00:13:03.420 resolution. That's incredible. That mirrors what we saw in the French study and some of the other
00:13:07.380 studies worldwide. But what I am seeing is that people are taking it alone by itself. It's not having
00:13:14.240 efficacy. Okay. Wow. That is a, that's very interesting news. And hopefully we can get that more
00:13:19.240 widespread. Dr. Anthony Cardillo. Thank you so much for your information. So why is,
00:13:25.560 why is the media? Are they just, do they care about being right? I think so. And Donald Trump
00:13:33.600 being wrong more than people's lives? Seems to me. It's insane. Insanity. Yeah. That's how much
00:13:40.760 they hate Trump that, uh, they, they will bash this potential, uh, cure or not cure. Yeah. For
00:13:51.400 because they hate him so much. It's, it's unbelievable. I mean, and let's say you have a
00:13:56.240 temperature of 104, you can't breathe and you feel like garbage and you ask for hydroxychloroquine,
00:14:02.340 but your doctor says, well, Dr. Fauci says it's, you know, there's just anecdotal evidence. It works.
00:14:08.080 Oh, okay. Well then just give me ibuprofen. What do you have to lose? Right. There's not,
00:14:14.420 there's not, uh, any evidence that ibuprofen years it. So, you know, uh, that is, it is bizarre.
00:14:21.800 It is. And I think a lot of this is they just intentionally incorrectly summarize what Trump
00:14:28.180 is saying, right? Trump is saying, look, we don't know if it's the answer. We hope it is. I have hope
00:14:33.220 for it. Like, and if you're in the, you know, life and death situation, why not give it a shot?
00:14:37.060 That is what basically Trump is saying every single time he's hopeful on it. And he's not saying he's
00:14:41.640 not talking to the average person. He's talking to doctors. He's talking to doctors. Doctors should
00:14:48.680 look into this. Not, not, you know, me, not you doctors. If you are sick, ask your doctor about it.
00:14:57.480 And he says that he says like, that's what he's saying should be made in conjunction with your
00:15:01.100 doctor. He doesn't say just go take the fish tank cleaner and start, and start guzzling it.
00:15:05.900 You know, maybe this is, this is, comes from their understanding of universal healthcare,
00:15:11.820 because the, the president could just make dictates in universal healthcare. I mean, if the,
00:15:17.960 if the, you know, the government runs everything, if they're like, you know what, we're not going
00:15:22.060 to give this drug. Then what the president says, we do. This is still a free market in a free country.
00:15:28.860 We, we absolutely can use it. There's no downside to using this other than it hurts the people who
00:15:37.020 really need it all the time. We can't, we just can't burn through all of it. Which is a big deal,
00:15:42.700 by the way. I mean, I, you know, that's a significant, it is something that is used for,
00:15:46.900 for, you know, lupus and, you know, obviously malaria. But you know what? Yeah. It, it's a,
00:15:52.460 it's a, um, it's, it's no longer a trademark drug. It's out on the open market. You can make
00:15:58.220 a generic version of this. If this actually would get some support, our, our drug companies could
00:16:05.880 spend, Hey, everybody for a week, make this. And they could. Oh yeah. And look, you know, it's a,
00:16:12.220 it's a, it's not a drug you can't get at this point. The, and I think this, this doctor seemed
00:16:16.860 to be taking a smart approach with it, which is like, use it when you get to a point where it's
00:16:21.140 really serious and the patient is about to die. And at, yeah, exactly. And at that point, right.
00:16:27.120 Then if they decide this is the right treatment, then you're right, Glenn, they can produce it like
00:16:31.840 crazy. The question is, do you produce it like crazy before you know that answer? And you know,
00:16:36.080 like, honestly, like we, if we, if, if there is enough anecdotal, if the, if there gets to a point
00:16:42.120 where it doesn't have to be proven to every last level scientific doubt, but if they get to a point,
00:16:46.280 because I know there's a Chinese study that said it didn't do anything. Now, look, it's China. I
00:16:50.220 don't know if I trust that. No. So if we can get enough over this line where we believe it helps
00:16:55.700 enough people, or at least helps some subset of people, it may just be people that have certain
00:17:00.620 conditions, or it may just be people that take other medications, or it may just be people with
00:17:05.040 certain genetic makeups, right? Like maybe that only helps 10% of patients, but still that's a miracle.
00:17:10.140 But if you're critically ill, you're going to be okay with that. Let me try it. Yeah. If I'm going to die
00:17:15.000 anyway, what's the downside of trying it? You know, it's funny because they're, they're all saying,
00:17:20.280 you know, high doses of vitamin C, uh, is, has been shown to be effective in some patients and
00:17:26.240 nobody has a problem with that one. That seems like witch doctor stuff to me. Vitamin C. Yeah. That
00:17:32.460 sounds like something my mother would do. Take some more vitamin C. Okay. Some orange juice.
00:17:37.660 Right. Well, the issue here too is that- But if it works, it works. Yeah. Right. And Trump is
00:17:42.680 summarizing a larger point. Like Trump, you know, look, he's not a doctor, as he said. He does not
00:17:48.000 know the 70 plus medications they're doing clinical trials with all by name. He knows a couple of them.
00:17:54.660 He's mentioned the other one, uh, which is from, um, uh, Gilead as well, several times, uh, as a
00:18:01.720 potential, uh, treatment as well. Like they're doing dozens and dozens of these trials at the
00:18:07.120 same time, trying to figure out what works best. But the point is that we are hoping to get one of
00:18:11.720 these things to catch on and actually work for people. This at the doses that are required to
00:18:16.920 help this particular problem, it is, it is a drug that has already gone through FDA approval. It's
00:18:24.520 already, it's already approved. It's not killing those levels. There, there is no danger to this
00:18:29.780 drug, no danger at all. And if it, if it works with just, as you said, 10% of the people it's worth
00:18:38.460 doing, but the CNNs of the world are so vested in them being right and Donald Trump being wrong,
00:18:46.520 they cannot admit it. And it's, it's sick. It's really a sickness. Pat and I were just talking off
00:18:52.620 the air about, uh, ABC, uh, radio that did this, um, recently ABC, uh, it was a podcast that,
00:18:59.360 that presented this just like the media has been doing it. Look, Donald Trump is giving people
00:19:03.240 false hope. You know, look, is there a chance of this working? It's possible, but right now it's
00:19:07.760 the wrong. He's not handling this right. And just, you know, kind of trashing him. One of their
00:19:11.520 former radio executives actually got coronavirus, went to the Cleveland clinic and the Cleveland
00:19:19.160 clinic gave me, gave him hydroxychloroquine and it cured him. Oh geez. It's one of their
00:19:24.400 former executives. That's amazing. And you know, you gotta, if you're covering the story,
00:19:28.620 and they don't even mention that in the story, right? Particularly if you're ABC, but I would
00:19:31.880 say every media source, but if you're ABC, don't you have to mention that this guy who
00:19:37.320 worked for your company was cured by this? And again, it's not just like the Cleveland
00:19:42.820 clinic. Wouldn't you be happy to? Absolutely. I'd be happy to mention that. You'd be thrilled.
00:19:48.660 You'd want to be wrong. You'd want to be wrong. That it has absolutely no efficacy because it's,
00:19:54.380 helping people in eight to 12 hours. Yeah. According to this LA doctor. I mean, and you
00:20:00.300 don't include that in the story either. Really encouraging, right? By the way, there are people
00:20:03.680 who have used this with, uh, with really good success. It's promising. Okay. In some cases.
00:20:09.580 So now let's, let's look at this. Let's look at this. Look at how the media is handling, uh,
00:20:16.660 French doctors saying COVID-19 vaccine should be tested on poor Africans. Oh boy. What?
00:20:24.380 Not, not, I mean, that's not ideal messaging there. I would say no, no, I mean, that was the
00:20:30.020 messaging of the Nazis and the progressives of that era, you know, Hey, let's just try
00:20:36.040 it on some undesirables. Uh, I don't think that's a good idea, but you could argue, okay,
00:20:42.120 well they have nothing. They don't have ICU units. They don't have any ventilators. They
00:20:47.800 are all, we're going to doom them all to death. Why not try this out? Yeah. But that is being
00:20:54.400 discussed as a much, uh, less hair brain idea than chlorica hydrochloroquine. I mean, the
00:21:03.600 wait, you're going to just test drugs that you have no idea. What is it? Nobody's ever put
00:21:09.760 them in human bodies before. Yeah. We're just going to send them down to Africa and shoot
00:21:14.240 those people up with them. That is a reasonable idea to the press, but hydrochloroquine. Oh,
00:21:22.220 that's insane. I mean, look, both of those things could be, you know, one of the reasons
00:21:26.420 why a vaccine takes 12 to 18 months is they feel like, okay, we think we have the answer
00:21:31.740 here. However, we should probably make sure before we give it to a hundred million people,
00:21:37.140 right? That is part of, that's the reason why that delay, at least part of the reason why
00:21:41.820 the delay is so long because they can't give it to an entire population, uh, and without
00:21:47.640 knowing if it kills people in six months. Right. Right. Now, most likely it doesn't.
00:21:52.800 This we do, but this, this, this, this we know is effective or at least not damaging. Right.
00:21:58.960 We do know that. Right. It will, won't kill anyone. These, these vaccines, they, they might
00:22:05.540 kill somebody. Hopefully they don't, but they might, they might cause cancer in 10 years.
00:22:09.920 We don't know. Hydrochloroquine. We know it's been around forever. This is like when you
00:22:17.260 take, you know, uh, um, in fact, I think wasn't, uh, sorry, they're mowing my lawn today.
00:22:26.080 Every new show, every show in America has these bizarre moments now or like, I know you're
00:22:30.740 like, yeah, they're watching the windows, you know, yeah. So the, uh, the, the, uh, I, I think
00:22:38.860 it's, uh, what's the little blue pill Viagra wasn't Viagra for something else. And they
00:22:44.380 realized that, oh man, it's great for erections. And so they started marketing it that way.
00:22:49.580 I think you're right. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. This is the same thing with
00:22:53.660 hydrochloroquine. Absolutely. It was made for something else. Uh, I don't even remember what
00:22:59.120 it was, but then it was moved over to lupus cause it wasn't as effective, uh, on what it
00:23:04.680 was designed for, but it actually had really great benefits for people who have really bad
00:23:10.520 arthritis, arthritis and lupus. And so they started using it for, for them. What is the
00:23:17.140 problem with this CNN? This is done all the time. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:23:34.680 Jeff Brown is one of the more fascinating men. Uh, I have, uh, I have talked to, uh, and I really
00:23:49.060 enjoy, really enjoy getting his perspective. I am a technology freak, but no, just enough to be
00:23:57.620 dangerous. He really knows this stuff. Chief technology analyst for Bonner and partners, uh,
00:24:03.580 kind of a futurist, Jeff Brown. Welcome to the program. How are you, sir? Good morning.
00:24:10.020 How are things? Fantastic. So now Jeff coming on this program, is it kind of like going to
00:24:19.040 nursery school? Is it kind of like, ah, okay, I can talk down for 20 minutes. Is it kind of like
00:24:24.040 that for you? Uh, no, not at all. Not at all. But the, uh, part of the pleasure is, um, being
00:24:30.820 able to explain, you know, complex, uh, technology topics, um, in a way that everybody understands.
00:24:38.540 Okay. So you'll have to do that here on 5g. There is a conspiracy going around now that 5g
00:24:45.580 in, and if I may, uh, is, is partially to call, uh, uh, partially the cause of Corona virus
00:24:54.900 because 5g causes the blood that's circulating in your body to be unable to carry oxygen.
00:25:05.860 Now you, now let me, let me give you the whole thing here. What's especially horrifying about the
00:25:11.660 critical care of Corona virus patients is they're not suffering from viral foot pneumonia rather than
00:25:17.320 an ability to absorb or carry oxygen in the blood. Um, they, they say that this is exactly what 5g
00:25:25.060 does. It kills the ability of the body to carry enough oxygen in the blood. Tell me about 5g.
00:25:32.040 Right. Right. So, you know, of course, um, uh, that particular conspiracy is not it's baseless. It's
00:25:41.700 not founded on anything really. Um, you know, at the, at the simplest level, um, uh, mobile phones and
00:25:50.880 cell phone towers, they, they emit, uh, radio waves. So that's a radio frequency radiation. The key part
00:25:57.220 to understand is that it's a form of radiation called non-ionizing radiation. And so our bodies
00:26:04.960 have been experiencing this kind of, uh, radiation our whole lives. Uh, it's completely normal. It's
00:26:10.840 all around us. And here's the key point. Uh, the key thing is, is that this kind of non-ionizing
00:26:17.940 radiation does not damage DNA or cell tissue in any way whatsoever. So not only, um, can it
00:26:27.200 not have any negative effects on our immune system, it also can't, uh, cause any forms of
00:26:34.220 mutations. That was another conspiracy theory I was asked about as to whether or not, uh, 5g, uh,
00:26:40.340 cell towers could cause the coronavirus to mutate. And that's what created, uh, COVID-19 in the first
00:26:46.440 place, which of course is absolutely not true.
00:26:49.040 Isn't this the same kind of stuff we have about every new technology? Do we have this about,
00:26:56.280 uh, radio towers and then television towers and then cell phone towers?
00:27:02.880 Absolutely. With every successive generation, uh, and not ironically, um, uh, these new generations of
00:27:11.120 wireless technology that come along every 10 years, these conspiracy theories pop up, you know,
00:27:17.060 for 12 to 18 months and eventually they go away and they come back, uh, with the next generation of
00:27:22.140 wireless technology. So, but 5g is different. I mean, you're not supposed to stand in front of
00:27:29.760 one of the towers, right? Can it, can it, can it cook you?
00:27:35.740 What? Uh, no. Um, and obviously, uh, no network would ever be designed so that, um, we're, we carry
00:27:44.400 around the base station right next to our, our head. Um, yes, the power levels are higher than, uh, 4g.
00:27:53.120 Um, um, that's, uh, that's, uh, that's a natural, um, result of the evolution to operating at higher
00:28:00.240 frequency bands. Uh, but these, uh, cell towers are, um, hundreds of feet, sometimes miles away from
00:28:10.280 where anybody would be, uh, using their, uh, their cell phone. Um, and, and also worth mentioning,
00:28:16.820 uh, you know, the FDA, uh, specifies, uh, what level is safe for, uh, the human body and the
00:28:24.600 current regulations, uh, have basically a 50 fold safety margin in them right now. So in other words,
00:28:32.580 there's a tremendous amount of cushion. So you don't buy any of the, the so-called studies, uh,
00:28:42.440 that show that it causes mental illness, that it's causing a lack of oxygen in the hemoglobin,
00:28:48.760 none of that. Absolutely not. There, you know, again, with non-ironizing radiation, there's,
00:28:56.960 there's no, there's not even the potential for damage to DNA or, uh, cell tissue. Um, it might
00:29:03.200 be worth mentioning. There was a, a very interesting study done, um, in Denmark. It was kind of the most,
00:29:09.300 uh, the largest percentage of a population. They analyzed about 360,000 mobile phone subscribers
00:29:16.460 over a period of more than a decade, uh, looking for some kind of connection between,
00:29:21.780 uh, for example, a brain tumor or brain cancer and, uh, cell phone usage. And they were completely
00:29:27.940 inconclusive. There was no evidence whatsoever to indicate that there were any negative health
00:29:33.300 effects. No, I, I saw a study just a few months ago that shows that if you're using your cell phone
00:29:39.940 and you keep it by your head, uh, it's actually causing like little devil horns to grow out of
00:29:45.300 the back of your spine. I don't know if you saw that. That was an actual report, uh, online. I don't know
00:29:53.380 if you saw that, but, uh, I didn't do that one. There was though, you might be interested. Um, uh,
00:30:00.340 another study that was done, it was actually, uh, conducted by the national institutes of health and
00:30:05.380 the FDA. And what they did is they did what you suggested. They put basically a very high power
00:30:11.300 radio transmitter, uh, next to rats, um, and expose them, uh, to this non-ionized radiation. Uh,
00:30:20.100 and what they found, um, was, uh, that the animals that were exposed to this non-ionized radiation
00:30:27.780 actually lived longer than the control animals that weren't exposed to it.
00:30:35.780 All right. I think, I think we're gonna, I think we're gonna leave it at, uh, leave it at that. Uh,
00:30:41.460 Jeff, tell me any updates on the, do you, do you know anything about the hydroxychloroquine,
00:30:47.300 uh, or any updates on any of the medicines that are, are going through the, the vaccines or,
00:30:54.420 or cures or anything that you've seen? Yeah, the, uh, hydroxychloroquine, uh, combined with, uh,
00:31:02.340 azitromycin, um, the, the, um, uh, antibiotic, um, has produced some fabulous results within five days.
00:31:10.660 Uh, most patients actually test negative for COVID-19. Uh, the, the only caveat is, is that
00:31:17.300 only about 20 people were tested in that particular clinical trial, but the results were,
00:31:22.900 were very positive. Um, uh, all of the other tests right now are still in very early stages.
00:31:28.500 We're still waiting to, to get some data, which we should have by the, uh, the end of the month.
00:31:33.460 But since you and I last spoke, uh, there are at least five more, uh, vaccines in development,
00:31:40.180 uh, to, uh, to tackle COVID-19. So the, um, it's all very exciting, very positive, uh, news from the
00:31:48.400 industry. Are any of these coming from like socialized medicine, uh, or are these all coming
00:31:55.080 from the free market? All from the free market, all from the private sector, uh, with one, with one,
00:32:01.440 um, uh, with one exception, uh, university of Pittsburgh, for example, uh, university of
00:32:08.560 Georgia have both developed some potential vaccine, uh, candidates. So their, their, uh,
00:32:13.600 university of Washington as well, uh, have, has been doing some great work. So there is some,
00:32:18.460 some development coming out of academia, uh, that's, uh, that's worth mentioning.
00:32:24.880 Uh, Jeff, thank you so much. Um, do you have any, um, anything else on the technology
00:32:31.420 front that is, uh, exciting that you're seeing that, that will play a role in either what's
00:32:38.600 happening, uh, with our society or, uh, you know, anything having to do with what we're going through
00:32:46.100 now? Do you see anything? Well, you know, if anything, this current pandemic has raised the
00:32:52.440 profile of how critical our communications network and infrastructure has become. We've seen,
00:32:58.200 for example, uh, data rates, data traffic over wireless networks spike by 50% and our 4G networks
00:33:06.280 are overloaded, which, uh, really demonstrates why our 5G networks, which can have so, so much greater
00:33:13.280 capacity are so critical, uh, to, uh, to our nation's infrastructure. In fact, um, uh, just in, uh, DC, uh,
00:33:23.420 I've been testing the 5G wireless networks and the speeds are extraordinary as much as 1.7 gigabits
00:33:30.140 per second, which is more than a hundred times faster than what you or I would normally experience
00:33:35.740 on a 4G network. Uh, and these networks are live up and running today. We've got over 110 cities
00:33:42.140 in the United States that have 5G network coverage.
00:33:44.960 How, how, what's not coming back, Jeff? I mean, I, I saw this thing in Washington state and they said
00:33:53.000 they're, they're closing the schools and they intend on coming back next year, but they want to make sure
00:33:58.300 that they can do virtual schools, uh, for next year as well. Yada, yada. What are, what are some of the
00:34:04.740 things that you think are just not going to come back? How's this going to change us?
00:34:11.600 I like to think about this as a modification of our normal behavior. Um, we're definitely going to
00:34:20.160 see a reduction in, uh, in business travel. This is definitely making it very clear that, um, we don't
00:34:30.100 need to travel as much as we have in the past to, to get our jobs done. Um, we'll definitely see, uh,
00:34:37.160 more distributed workforces. Uh, so rather than working from home being somewhat of a stigma in
00:34:43.560 many, uh, corporations, uh, I think we'll see this to be encouraged. And, uh, this will also
00:34:49.380 obviously, you know, save business expenses, both in, in terms of travel and required office space.
00:34:55.660 It's, uh, it's already forcing, uh, uh, uh, the private sector to rethink, um, uh, you know,
00:35:02.660 the distribution of their workforce and, uh, our productivity levels. And of course the expenses
00:35:08.500 associated with that. So we can see those changes, uh, happening already. All right, Jeff,
00:35:15.400 thanks. Appreciate it. We'll talk again, Jeff Brown, chief technology analyst for Bonner,
00:35:19.380 uh, and, uh, partners.
