The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guest： Mike Lindell ｜ 3⧸31⧸20

00:00:00.440 Welcome to the podcast. So today we have an update on what happened to the couple that took fish tank cleaner, thinking it would cure the coronavirus that they didn't have, killing one of them.

00:00:13.980 There's a great update to that one, and the story just doesn't get any better.

00:00:17.880 We also talk about modern monetary theory. What is modern monetary theory?

00:00:22.160 It's basically you can just spend as much as you want, just keep printing if you want to spend that money.

00:00:26.440 Well, we're basically trying that now in the United States, and we have an update on that.

00:00:30.220 A couple more trillion dollars going out the door, minimum.

00:00:32.980 And Bill de Blasio and Andrew Cuomo, we get into that.

00:00:38.120 Someone in the Cuomo family has coronavirus, we'll tell you who that is.

00:00:41.640 And as well, we'll get into the MyPillow attack.

00:00:46.620 Mike Lindell from MyPillow was at the press conference, got bashed by the media, comes on to tell the story today on the podcast.

00:01:25.880 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:29.840 Total confirmed cases worldwide, 799,995.

00:01:40.280 That's up from 735 yesterday.

00:01:42.860 The confirmed deaths worldwide, 38,735.

00:01:47.920 5% of active cases are still considered serious, requiring hospitalization.

00:01:52.560 Note that 11% of U.S. confirmed cases require hospitalization, roughly on par with Italy at 12%.

00:02:01.040 The U.S. now has 164,359 confirmed cases and 3,173 deaths.

00:02:10.820 That is up considerably from yesterday.

00:02:14.820 We had 2,400 deaths as of this time yesterday.

00:02:19.520 Less than 0.6% of the total U.S. population has been tested.

00:02:25.060 15% of that 0.6% of America who have been tested have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

00:02:31.840 So, how did the president make this decision?

00:02:36.440 Apparently, it was Dr. Fauci, the chief medical advisor for the Corona Task Force, and his cohort, Dr. Debbie Birx.

00:02:48.720 They went in, apparently, to the Oval Office on Sunday, leaned over the Resolute desk,

00:02:56.340 and put out all of the papers, and showed all of the charts, and then just stood there while the president looked at it.

00:03:07.000 Fauci said, interestingly, we showed him the data.

00:03:10.360 He looked at the data, got it right away.

00:03:12.420 It's a pretty clear picture.

00:03:14.460 Dr. Debbie Birx and I went in together, leaned over his desk, said, take a look.

00:03:18.800 The president reportedly looked at them, understood the implications, and shook his head and said,

00:03:25.620 Wow, I guess we got to do it.

00:03:28.260 Medically, this is the right decision, and I stand behind it 100%, Fauci said.

00:03:33.840 From a public health standpoint, we felt strongly that it would have been wrong to pull back at this point,

00:03:39.480 where scientists, physicians, public health officials were not economists,

00:03:43.620 were sensitive to the idea that the economy could suffer,

00:03:46.500 but we weigh that against the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Americans' life.

00:03:51.240 It was blatantly obvious, looking at the data, that at the end of the day,

00:03:54.560 if we try to push back prematurely, not only would we lose lives,

00:03:58.220 but it would probably hurt the economy as well, so we would lose on double accounts.

00:04:02.720 So there was no question as to what the right choice was.

00:04:06.040 Now, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Maryland, have now joined the states issuing house arrest orders.

00:04:12.740 Maryland and Virginia became the latest states on Monday to enact a stay-at-home mandate amid the coronavirus outbreak,

00:04:20.620 except for essential travel for work.

00:04:23.880 Virginia's order is in effect till June 10th, making it one of the longest statewide mandates implemented so far.

00:04:30.880 Maryland's penalties for violating its owners are among some of the strictest in the country,

00:04:35.140 including a $1,000 fine and up to 30 days in jail for repeat offenders.

00:04:41.940 Holy cow. 0.89

00:04:44.020 In total, more than 210 million Americans now effectively live under some form of house arrest

00:04:49.720 or shelter-in-place type orders, with another 50 million facing travel or shopping or eating restrictions.

00:04:57.060 Only six states do not have closed schools.

00:05:01.360 Health care workers now using forklifts to load dead bodies into refrigerated trucks in New York.

00:05:07.800 Did you see this video, Stu?

00:05:09.980 Yeah.

00:05:10.700 This video is really disturbing from Brooklyn.

00:05:15.300 It was posted.

00:05:17.660 Do we have that video?

00:05:19.720 Can we run that here?

00:05:20.500 This video is, um, it was posted by a guy, uh, in, I think, Brooklyn, uh, who was just walking by and he said,

00:05:32.080 Oh my gosh, look at, it's this giant 18 wheeler and they are loading dead bodies into it.

00:05:39.340 It's a refrigerated truck.

00:05:40.580 And you could see the camera start shaking.

00:05:43.740 And he says, I'm sorry, my hands are shaking, uh, because this is, this is real.

00:05:49.440 This is no joke.

00:05:50.840 This is the Brooklyn hospital.

00:05:53.320 Uh, and he said, uh, this should make you take it seriously.

00:05:58.800 Now, can we play the, can we play the part of Ron Paul where he says, this is not real, I guess.

00:06:08.260 Can we play this?

00:06:08.880 I want to hear it for myself.

00:06:09.980 Well, I, I think it's blown way out of proportion to, to the danger.

00:06:13.860 And it seems that some people benefit from crises like this.

00:06:17.120 People who want more government power and more control over people and want to get big appropriations and, and get their special deals passed.

00:06:26.460 And that's what's happening now.

00:06:27.700 Everybody's it's a grab bag.

00:06:29.400 So it's, uh, it's being used, uh, and I, I don't see it as a, uh, as a problem dealing with one virus.

00:06:37.640 I think it's dangerous when people get the virus, uh, and they're already sick or elderly and have other conditions.

00:06:43.680 But, uh, I, I think millions of people probably have had the infection and still do.

00:06:50.100 Uh, but it's used as an excuse by those who have a special interest, uh, to use that.

00:06:56.180 And, uh, I think that, that is sad, but, uh, hopefully they'll wake up soon and say, well, it wasn't quite as bad as they thought.

00:07:04.780 And maybe it's a combination of the virus along with another disease or medication or somebody's, uh, immune system.

00:07:12.140 That's the, that's the problem.

00:07:17.120 How much of that do you agree with still?

00:07:19.400 I mean, he's totally right that they're going to try to exploit the situation as much as they can.

00:07:23.860 They've already done it multiple times.

00:07:25.340 And that's certainly going to continue $2 trillion infrastructure bill.

00:07:30.960 Now I do $2 trillion.

00:07:33.000 That's, that's, this is insane.

00:07:35.240 And that's another one.

00:07:36.360 That's not the 2 trillion we've already spent or the two bills before that.

00:07:39.940 That this is a new one that the president, and again, we should point out, this is not how these things end, right?

00:07:44.840 As you kind of noted, this is the opening offer from the Republican side on a bill is $2 trillion.

00:07:51.440 They'll go for more.

00:07:52.400 The, the, the Democrats will go for more.

00:07:54.660 Yeah.

00:07:54.800 I was looking, looking back at, um, you know, our notes from earlier.

00:07:58.780 Um, and I had this story.

00:08:00.120 This is a big, this is a big story at the time.

00:08:02.620 Chuck Schumer decided he, he had to go bold.

00:08:06.760 Uh, we, this is this quote.

00:08:07.980 We need to go big, bold, urgent federal action to deal with this crisis.

00:08:11.840 The kind of measures we're putting together with will mainline money into the economy and directly into the hands of families that need it.

00:08:18.340 Uh, his proposal was for a $750 billion.

00:08:21.580 That was for the last bill that wound up at 2.2 trillion.

00:08:26.660 Chuck Schumer was asking for 750 billion and it ended at 2.2 trillion.

00:08:32.840 Now we have the Republican side starting at 2 trillion.

00:08:36.360 What's this one going to end up as can't even imagine what this is going to be.

00:08:41.200 How do we, we don't, we don't, how do we, I mean, this is, this is really concerning.

00:08:50.320 This is really concerning.

00:08:52.200 We are, we have crossed the Rubicon.

00:08:56.120 We are, we, we, we, we're, there's, there's no accountability anymore.

00:09:02.980 It's just, we're going to spend, spend, spend.

00:09:06.540 There's really no party that opposes the spending at this point.

00:09:10.600 I mean, at times in the past, Republicans have voiced opposition to the spending, but they don't even voice it anymore.

00:09:17.520 The Democrats obviously have always wanted more of it.

00:09:19.860 So we are going into a, uh, an era now that goes far beyond, you know, Keynesian economics, but to the point of legitimate modern monetary theory.

00:09:30.560 I mean, we really are going to this place where whatever we want, we get by printing more money.

00:09:36.380 Let's see what happens.

00:09:37.260 You know, if people were making fun of Rashida Tlaib a couple of weeks ago for saying that she wanted to get two $1 trillion coins to pay for the last bill, uh, which again, I don't understand.

00:09:50.020 Wait, wait, wait, two, two $1 trillion coins.

00:09:54.840 Why not one $2 trillion coin?

00:09:57.080 I don't know the answer to it.

00:09:58.800 Well, I mean, I do.

00:10:01.340 That's clear.

00:10:02.200 That's clear.

00:10:03.620 You, I mean, you want two buyers.

00:10:05.940 I mean, the odds of finding one buyer for a trillion dollar coin, you know, is hard enough to find one buyer for a $2 trillion coin.

00:10:14.860 And you, you, you cut down all the bargaining power.

00:10:17.600 Hey, buy one, get the second one half price.

00:10:20.100 Oh yeah.

00:10:20.500 All of that stuff.

00:10:21.300 And I'll say too, if you go in and try to buy something with it, that they're not going to have enough change for $2 trillion coin.

00:10:26.340 Likely in most grocery stores.

00:10:28.760 Can you break a $2 trillion coin?

00:10:30.980 And they'll say, no, if you, do you have a $1 trillion?

00:10:34.060 Oh, I don't.

00:10:36.340 Yeah.

00:10:38.420 I don't see what this is going to be.

00:10:39.940 Here's the fun part.

00:10:41.200 The $1 trillion coin is going to be our normal mode of currency.

00:10:45.920 Oh yeah.

00:10:46.340 You're actually bringing to grocery stores very soon if we don't stop doing this.

00:10:50.940 Yeah.

00:10:51.300 No, it'll be the one with Lincoln, with, with George Washington's head on it.

00:10:55.920 It'll just, it'll be the quarter, except it'll be etched in by New York prisoners, $25 trillion.

00:11:04.660 I mean, this is, Glenn, this is unbelievable.

00:11:08.000 I understand we are in the middle of something serious.

00:11:10.660 I don't downplay it.

00:11:12.540 I mean, I think we have a couple weeks here to hopefully see that most of the models seem to peak the worst of this thing in a couple of weeks.

00:11:20.160 If that happens, you know, can we reverse it and all of these things?

00:11:24.420 I hope so.

00:11:25.040 Well, but the idea that we can just sit here and just spend our way out of it is not, it's, that's not how this works.

00:11:32.780 You know, there's not going to be a bridge is not going to solve the coronavirus issue.

00:11:37.780 You don't, you don't do it by paving roads.

00:11:39.920 So, so here's, well, here's what the president may be looking at.

00:11:45.240 Last night, the Fed came out and said the job loss could be 47 million people.

00:11:56.540 And unemployment may hit 32%.

00:12:00.920 Again, I don't, we just spent $2 trillion to make sure that didn't happen.

00:12:08.660 Why did we spend the $2 trillion if it were going to, like these, the bill itself, yes, it gives $1,200 to every American in a certain income bracket.

00:12:20.760 Everybody knows that part of it because it's the only part anybody's talked about.

00:12:24.140 But it also offers money to small businesses to pay the salary of your employees, the mortgages of your, of your businesses.

00:12:31.140 All of the, the, the tightly sort of associated costs that would come from your business operating in an environment where you're told you're not allowed to open it.

00:12:41.980 That's exactly what the bill does for small businesses.

00:12:45.000 And then larger businesses have resources and big loans and all sorts of things that are guaranteed.

00:12:50.500 And the, the loans to small businesses, if you, if you pocket the money, you have to pay it back.

00:12:57.860 Okay.

00:12:58.440 But if you pay it to your employees and you pay it for mortgage and you pay it for operational expenses,

00:13:02.920 the bill is written in a way that those loans will be forgiven, which of course, that's not a loan, right?

00:13:08.140 It's, it's, it's a giveaway with conditions.

00:13:10.600 That's all supposed to be in here.

00:13:11.780 And it's supposed to protect against exactly what you're talking about.

00:13:15.140 Well, we should, we should know that this week, shouldn't we?

00:13:21.520 We'll know more about it.

00:13:22.660 If we, if we have a, yeah, I mean, if we have another really horrible, I mean, the problem is, is things like oil.

00:13:30.060 Do you, do you realize that oil may actually, they may start paying you to buy a barrel of oil?

00:13:38.340 It may go below zero, the price of oil.

00:13:41.720 And you would ask, how is that possible?

00:13:44.340 Because they're not stopping production in Russia or Saudi Arabia.

00:13:48.520 And so they're running out of places to hold it.

00:13:52.060 That's why your gas is now, these people who bought the gas even a week ago, they're losing their shirts on the gas.

00:13:59.780 You know, they're charging 99 cents.

00:14:01.640 That's not what they paid for it when they pumped it into the ground.

00:14:04.120 And so they're losing their shirts, but they're, there's so much gas available and everybody's pressuring, take the gas, take the oil.

00:14:13.260 Well, at what price do we stop taking oil?

00:14:18.860 Because there's no place to put it.

00:14:22.020 I mean, it is, it's remarkable on what is being done to really, truly, you couldn't design an economic collapse any better than what, than what we're doing all around the world.

00:14:35.340 And what all these countries and all of these huge businesses and governments, you couldn't design it any better than it has been designed so far.

00:14:49.640 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:05.340 Welcome to the program, Glenn Beck, joined now by Stu Brageer, our executive producer and host of Stu Does America, and Pat Gray, host of his own show, Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:15:23.880 Hello, Pat.

00:15:24.700 Hello, Glenn.

00:15:26.320 Do you remember the, the couple that ingested the fish tank cleaner?

00:15:31.680 I do.

00:15:32.200 Last week.

00:15:32.720 Yes.

00:15:33.200 Tell me the story, tell me the story, the best of your recollection.

00:15:36.680 Well, because Donald Trump made it sound like, uh, the, uh, the fish tank cleaner was a cure for the Corona virus.

00:15:46.140 Uh, they took it, they ingested it.

00:15:48.840 And of course it, uh, nearly killed him.

00:15:53.060 That, that was, that was basically it.

00:15:55.380 Okay.

00:15:55.700 From the media.

00:15:56.460 All right.

00:15:56.900 So now the Washington free beacon has found their names.

00:16:01.060 Uh, they established the identities through descriptions in the local news reports.

00:16:05.200 The pair identified as Gary 68, Wanda 61 free beacon is withholding their identities at Wanda's request.

00:16:13.320 However, the federal election commission records show that Wanda has donated thousands of dollars to democratic electoral groups and candidates over the last two years, including Hillary Clinton, the democratic congressional campaign committee, Emily's list, a group that, uh, aims to elect pro-choice female candidates.

00:16:32.020 And in fact, uh, they, uh, her most recent donations, uh, went on in February to a democratic pact, the three, one, four action fund that bills itself.

00:16:46.620 Well, I'll tell you what it bills itself as in a, in a minute.

00:16:49.660 But, uh, according to the free beacon, uh, Wanda said that she and her husband are both Democrats.

00:16:56.960 They're not Trump supporters.

00:16:58.220 They heard about the potential benefits of chloroquine, uh, chloroquine and anti-malarial drug in news reports.

00:17:04.900 She said, decided at the spur of the moment to try taking it, but reach for the fish tank cleaner in the pantry that contains chloroquine phosphate, a different and deadly form of the chemical.

00:17:18.240 Hmm. Oops.

00:17:19.600 She said, we're, we're not big supporters of Trump, but we did see that, uh, they were using it in China and stuff.

00:17:26.740 And we just made a horrible, tragic mistake.

00:17:29.180 It was stupid and horrible.

00:17:30.580 We should have never done it, but it's done now.

00:17:32.880 And I've lost my husband and my whole life was my husband.

00:17:36.740 We didn't think it would kill us.

00:17:38.800 We thought it would help us.

00:17:40.960 Cause that's what we'd been hearing on the news.

00:17:44.280 We saw Trump on TV, on every channel and all of his buddies that this was safe.

00:17:51.620 She said, Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure.

00:17:58.700 She said, um, you shouldn't believe anything that this president says, uh, by the way, uh, the pack that she donated a lot of money to here recently was the three, one, four action fund.

00:18:13.780 Uh, that is billed as the pro science resistance group.

00:18:21.000 Are they resisting science?

00:18:22.700 Cause that would actually fit.

00:18:23.620 I think they are.

00:18:24.520 I, I, I think they are.

00:18:27.400 She said, don't believe anything this president says to people.

00:18:30.980 Uh, she's in shock still over her husband's death.

00:18:34.500 We were having the best day before it happened.

00:18:36.280 And I made him his favorite lunch, grilled steak and asparagus and red potatoes.

00:18:39.700 We were just having the best Sunday.

00:18:42.080 And that's when I went and got the chloroquine phosphate, which is not what the president was talking about.

00:18:52.220 No, not at all.

00:18:53.720 Yeah.

00:18:53.900 He didn't.

00:18:54.240 He never told anybody to take the fish tank cleaner.

00:18:56.560 Don't, don't do that.

00:18:57.500 Right.

00:18:58.000 Nor did he say it was a cure, even in the right form of it.

00:19:00.680 He said they were going to test it and he was hopeful.

00:19:02.540 Yeah.

00:19:03.840 Now, you know, it's really interesting.

00:19:05.540 And he also said, talk to your doctor, talk to your doctor.

00:19:09.820 Um, what's interesting is there's two, there's two quotes, uh, from her.

00:19:14.060 First one is from the Washington free beacon.

00:19:16.320 She decided at spur of the moment to try taking it, but reach, reach for the fish tank cleaner, uh, phosphate, blah, blah, blah.

00:19:23.660 Different from the chemical.

00:19:24.880 She said, we weren't big supporters, but we did see that they were using it in China and stuff.

00:19:30.740 We made a horrible, tragic mistake.

00:19:32.780 Okay.

00:19:33.380 That's in the Washington free beacon.

00:19:35.520 Here's the interview with NBC and the NBC.

00:19:39.880 She said, uh, she said, don't take the president's words.

00:19:44.280 Oh my gosh.

00:19:45.300 Don't take anything.

00:19:46.660 He says, don't believe anything that the president says and his people.

00:19:52.380 So I'm, I'm wondering why she didn't say that to the Washington free beacon, or if she

00:19:59.080 were, was prompted into that, or she's trying to make herself feel less stupid by blaming

00:20:05.000 it on the president of the United States.

00:20:08.420 I'm going with that.

00:20:09.900 Yes.

00:20:10.500 I'm going with the latter.

00:20:12.420 She's trying to make herself feel less stupid.

00:20:15.680 Uh, she also knows who she's talking to when she's talking to them.

00:20:19.420 I mean, the NBC people are going to be more receptive to the, don't listen to anything.

00:20:24.320 The president says that the Washington free beacon is, uh, but, uh, yeah, I, I missed the

00:20:30.860 speech where the president said, Hey, if you have a fish tank, you know what you ought to

00:20:35.560 do is run over and grab, grab the cleaner and just ingest it.

00:20:42.300 And then you'll be protected from the Corona virus.

00:20:44.820 Go ahead and do that.

00:20:45.820 Well, I mean, like we all know that you can eat fish, but you don't go to your fish tank

00:20:49.140 and eat the fish out of there.

00:20:50.460 No, you don't.

00:20:51.460 You don't just go to fish tank.

00:20:53.400 Like there happens to be a similar word that happens to be associated with the fish tank.

00:20:58.280 That doesn't make it okay to eat.

00:20:59.740 No, that's right.

00:21:00.680 General rule of life.

00:21:02.620 Yeah.

00:21:03.760 I, I mean, if it really is sad, I, you know, there's speculation.

00:21:07.100 I know at the beginning of this are like, it just sounds like she just killed her husband 0.98

00:21:10.320 and it's like, well, I don't know if that there's any evidence of that.

00:21:14.080 Um, assuming that everything was on the up and up, uh, it's just, it is a really tragic

00:21:18.420 story of someone who really was a victim of their own stupidity.

00:21:23.300 Uh, and it is really, really sad.

00:21:25.620 Uh, but you know, the way that it's, you know, it's just so bizarre coming from a person who

00:21:30.240 is making a big political point out of it.

00:21:32.320 I can't imagine if I just lost my husband that I'd be sitting here going like, the American

00:21:36.160 people should not be complaining, listening to this president.

00:21:39.480 This president is not trustworthy.

00:21:41.140 And I believe you should donate to it.

00:21:42.960 Just doesn't seem, it seems like a very, it's a very shady story.

00:21:47.300 The whole thing.

00:21:48.560 Is it not?

00:21:49.460 It is.

00:21:50.160 I think it is.

00:21:51.000 Yeah.

00:21:51.720 You bet.

00:21:52.240 Have you been watching the tiger King?

00:21:54.260 I haven't yet.

00:21:55.260 I do want to.

00:21:56.260 Like somebody.

00:21:57.080 Yeah.

00:21:57.520 That sounds like somebody, something somebody would say that's been watching the tiger

00:22:00.880 King, uh, because that thing is insane.

00:22:06.120 And you, you find out that, I mean, early on that the tiger King is in jail.

00:22:15.240 Uh, I think we don't really know at the beginning, you, you find out that he's in jail and it's

00:22:20.520 because he put a hit out on this woman who is trying to shut his tiger camp down. 0.97

00:22:29.080 Uh, she's in Florida and she rescues tigers and she's putting them in really crappy cages.

00:22:36.740 I mean, his place is nice compared to hers and she's like, Oh, you can't keep animals in cages. 1.00

00:22:42.500 And she's got them all in these really crappy cages. 0.97

00:22:45.000 Anyway, apparently he was trying to kill her, but then you find out that her really rich, you

00:22:51.960 know, millionaire husband just disappeared.

00:22:55.720 Uh, and, uh, and they've never been able to find the body and say that maybe she killed

00:23:02.060 her husband and fed him to tigers. 1.00

00:23:05.860 It's the craziest.

00:23:07.900 You watch this and you're just like, I don't, I, I've never seen a bigger freak show than,

00:23:15.240 than, than this, than this show.

00:23:17.760 It is, it is crazy.

00:23:20.780 Every 10 minutes you think, okay, can't get worse than this.

00:23:25.020 10 minutes later, it's much worse than this.

00:23:28.900 It is.

00:23:29.820 It's, it's Florida.

00:23:32.060 Times a thousand.

00:23:33.960 And anybody who's ever lived in Florida understands what I'm saying.

00:23:37.640 Every crazy story ever that you've ever heard somehow or another is connected to Florida.

00:23:44.240 So, I mean, and there's actual murders going on and we're making a reality series out of

00:23:50.300 it.

00:23:50.920 That's the only way we get justice done anymore in this country.

00:23:54.020 Oh yeah.

00:23:54.320 Yeah.

00:23:54.660 Look at the, here's, here's the featured story.

00:23:57.360 Uh, the top of the page of, uh, the blaze popularity of tiger King documentary.

00:24:02.060 Prompt sheriff to ask for leads in cold case of woman's missing former husband.

00:24:07.940 I sort of, it's the only way we do anything anymore that like the legal system just sits

00:24:11.880 around and waits for documentaries.

00:24:13.000 Now that's what we do.

00:24:14.540 We're like, Oh wait, what?

00:24:15.440 R Kelly did what?

00:24:16.380 Oh, wow.

00:24:17.180 Look at that documentary.

00:24:18.140 Let's get him in prison. 0.82

00:24:19.460 Oh, Bill Cosby did what?

00:24:20.740 Oh, okay.

00:24:21.240 Now it's time to go after him.

00:24:22.880 Oh, making a murderer is the same thing.

00:24:25.760 Like the, you know, they, this guy had been in jail all this time and, and it was this

00:24:29.680 cold, you know, the case had already been decided and then they had to go back through

00:24:33.060 it and look at it again because the documentary came out.

00:24:35.540 That's how we do it now.

00:24:36.980 The true crime, I mean, the true crime genre just drives our legal system.

00:24:40.440 Um, do you guys have to just watch at least one episode, watch just one episode?

00:24:45.800 Cause you have to meet the Carol woman and the people who are, the people who are making

00:24:51.840 this are genius, uh, because they're, they'll leave in footage of, of them, you know, at

00:24:59.820 times like they're driving up to meet her for the first time.

00:25:02.520 And you just hear one of the cameramen or one of the producers go, well, she's dressed 1.00

00:25:08.380 appropriately and when you see the camera come on her, it's just like, oh my God, you,

00:25:16.200 you, you, you would not believe that this is as crazy as, uh, what's the group that did,

00:25:23.900 uh, Spinal Tap and, uh, Best in Show?

00:25:27.060 Oh, like a Christopher Guest movie, you're saying?

00:25:29.400 Yeah.

00:25:29.780 Okay.

00:25:30.740 It's as crazy as those people.

00:25:33.400 That's all make up.

00:25:34.840 That's all for comedy.

00:25:35.960 It has all of those characters in it.

00:25:39.560 It's insane.

00:25:41.860 It's insane.

00:25:43.280 We were talking about this too, that it's gotta be one of the larger sort of shared cultural

00:25:48.320 events in a long time because, you know, when these things happen, yeah, like you have a

00:25:52.620 totally captive audience.

00:25:53.980 Like when you hit one of these things, when you're, you're the big documentary that everyone's

00:25:57.740 talking about or the big show that everyone's talking about on Netflix, it's already a big

00:26:01.540 thing.

00:26:01.860 Right.

00:26:02.220 But now everybody's at home watching television.

00:26:05.320 Yeah.

00:26:05.520 Like, I mean, everyone is streaming Netflix at the same time.

00:26:08.760 You're going to have a hundred million people watch this.

00:26:10.080 You probably, it probably will go back to some of those old school TV numbers.

00:26:13.640 Yep.

00:26:13.860 Yeah.

00:26:14.580 Can you imagine if this was happening?

00:26:16.640 I, I contend this quarantine could not have happened 15 years ago.

00:26:21.180 If we all had dial up Netflix, we know before Netflix and dial up because unless blockbuster

00:26:30.100 was deemed essential.

00:26:31.660 Yeah.

00:26:32.920 I mean, you, you just, you wouldn't do, you couldn't have done it.

00:26:36.300 It would drive you insane.

00:26:37.900 Well, yeah.

00:26:38.180 That's why we're willing to give up our constitutional rights.

00:26:40.540 Cause we've got Netflix now.

00:26:41.800 I'll just watch your Netflix.

00:26:43.060 I'm fine.

00:26:43.600 Fine.

00:26:43.980 Yeah.

00:26:44.180 I'll stay home and watch Netflix.

00:26:46.140 Right.

00:26:46.280 Like, can you imagine how big the actual viewership numbers would be if we had the four networks,

00:26:53.740 the three networks or four networks, uh, and just regular television, how huge the numbers

00:27:00.360 would be.

00:27:01.000 Now these Netflix numbers have got to be outrageously huge and you know, they don't, they don't share

00:27:07.880 them.

00:27:08.200 So we may never know.

00:27:13.180 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:27:16.280 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:27:27.660 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat gray unleashed.

00:27:31.800 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.

00:27:36.280 So yesterday the president was in the Rose garden and he had a bunch of CEOs there.

00:27:42.660 Procter and gamble, uh, CEO was there, uh, a lot of people.

00:27:47.140 And he talked about how they were all pitching in to help and the media and Twitter went crazy.

00:27:56.900 I love this one.

00:27:57.960 Trump showcasing executives from all these private companies instead of talking about government

00:28:02.680 efforts is a reflection of how little his administration is doing to respond to the

00:28:06.120 coronavirus, but nothing, nothing, uh, lit the media up and lit social media up.

00:28:14.020 Like Mike Lindell, Mike Lindell got up.

00:28:16.640 He's the guy from my pillow and he's retooling his factories to be able to make, uh, masks for

00:28:23.300 the hospitals.

00:28:24.420 That's why he was there.

00:28:25.600 And when he got up to the microphone, he said, thanks, Mr.

00:28:28.480 President, if you don't mind, I'd like to just make a quick statement.

00:28:31.000 He said, God gave us grace on November 8th to 2016 to change the course.

00:28:36.080 We were on God's been taken out of our school and out of our laws, uh, out of our lives.

00:28:40.500 Uh, uh, a nation has turned its back on God.

00:28:43.740 I encourage you to use this time at home to get back to the word, to read our Bibles, bring

00:28:49.320 your families back to God.

00:28:50.660 I thought it was incredibly brave and not unusual.

00:28:56.180 Uh, unfortunately, yes, it is in the world of the media.

00:29:00.280 Uh, this is from Ali Velshi from MSNBC.

00:29:03.960 Trump just called the my pillow guy up to the podium in the Rose garden.

00:29:07.180 You can't make this stuff up.

00:29:08.820 Uh, James O'Grady, are you effing kidding me?

00:29:11.640 He had the my pillow guy on to sell his garbage product during a pandemic briefing.

00:29:16.560 He wasn't selling anything.

00:29:18.260 Um, no one, uh, no one fights a pandemic better than, uh, or more scientifically than in the

00:29:25.220 insane, my pillow guy talking about the Bible.

00:29:28.620 It went on and on and on.

00:29:33.340 Mike Lindell is here to, uh, to respond and, and tell us how he's feeling today.

00:29:39.760 Mike, I thought you were incredibly brave, uh, to say what you said, cause you knew you were

00:29:45.980 going to take a beating for it.

00:29:47.200 I thought it was eloquent and I thought it was exactly the right thing to do.

00:29:51.060 Congratulations for doing that, Mike.

00:29:53.240 Well, thanks.

00:29:54.320 And I, I didn't, uh, I had wrote, just wrote down some notes.

00:29:57.760 I actually turned to the president cause I didn't know if I, I said, yeah, I'm going to

00:30:01.280 say something a little off the cuff here.

00:30:03.100 And, and, uh, I didn't, you know, I thought I didn't think it'd be a tech like that.

00:30:07.940 I really didn't.

00:30:08.620 And, uh, boy, I got, I had over, and then I had over 750 some text messages.

00:30:14.800 Of course, them were good, but I didn't even know I had that many people.

00:30:17.560 I had my phone number.

00:30:18.840 Um, and then there was probably, I mean, people I haven't talked to in 10 years.

00:30:24.920 Uh, so I was answering them till three in the morning, but I actually, I actually, I went

00:30:30.780 to the, the bad media sites and seeing what was trying to be put out there.

00:30:34.720 And Glenn, one thing I want to say is I think everyone out there, even from both sides, because

00:30:40.500 so many people that were on the side, even the media that say in these horrible things,

00:30:46.820 there are people over there going, you know what?

00:30:48.420 We, just like you just said, he wasn't selling anything.

00:30:50.900 And what's wrong with being home with your families.

00:30:53.120 And that's just his opinion.

00:30:54.440 And they, a lot of this country, like I told the president, I said, you know, Mr.

00:30:59.820 President, this, we had a, we were in the oval office for about a half hour after that,

00:31:03.440 him and I, and I said, you know what?

00:31:05.780 I said, these press briefings are so good.

00:31:07.960 Cause people are seeing who you really are, who you, you know, that you're, they're seeing

00:31:11.600 your heart and, and all this big news and this crazy attacks out there by the left.

00:31:16.520 I said, I said, I got, I said, here's where it's going though.

00:31:19.720 And I read him a text I got from a friend of mine.

00:31:22.020 Who's very much a president.

00:31:23.900 He hater.

00:31:24.680 And here's what it said.

00:31:25.840 And I read it to him and said, Mike, you know, I'm not a big Donald Trump fan, but he said,

00:31:30.620 you know what?

00:31:31.400 God bless him.

00:31:32.080 He's doing an incredible job.

00:31:34.040 He's like, he's doing a job of a champion here.

00:31:36.400 And I think he's growing on me and this is what's happening.

00:31:39.760 I think people are going to quit being brainwashed by this horrible, crazy media and they know

00:31:46.920 who they are.

00:31:47.580 And, uh, and then, um, and, and the public is going to see this, this amazing job that

00:31:52.840 our president's doing, but I saw, you know, Mike, interview after interview today, and I'm

00:31:58.560 taking all the bad ones on it.

00:32:00.000 I think I'm going on the view tomorrow.

00:32:01.660 I'm going Washington.

00:32:02.720 Oh my gosh.

00:32:03.960 I love it.

00:32:05.580 I want to go right into the hurricane.

00:32:07.300 I get finally, I get to speak out for Jesus.

00:32:09.240 Like I want to.

00:32:10.940 That's great.

00:32:11.700 That's great.

00:32:12.340 So Mike, tell me about your company is doing, he had you on, on the stage along with other,

00:32:18.440 uh, CEOs, uh, because you're doing something with your company.

00:32:22.440 Tell me what you're doing.

00:32:24.440 Well, about two weeks ago, I said, you know what, we got to make masks.

00:32:27.600 I heard there was a need.

00:32:28.620 I reached out to the vice president.

00:32:30.160 He was head of this, you know, this whole thing.

00:32:32.100 And I reached out to his office and they directed me to Peter Navarro, who, uh, who called, who

00:32:37.260 called, text me right back and then called me.

00:32:39.140 And, and he says, we have this thing set up as a coalition.

00:32:42.480 I called them.

00:32:43.340 They were so helpful in finding out specs that I need of these cotton masks.

00:32:47.760 Um, and then I, I had to outsource get, you know, figure out where it can get the elastic

00:32:51.780 in our country.

00:32:52.560 And, and, uh, in the meantime, I said, you guys were doing, we're going all in and we

00:32:57.320 revamped my, one of my factories, 200,000 square feet.

00:33:01.060 And we put in safety precautions for all my, um, employees where they're checked at the

00:33:06.700 door and they, you know, sanitizer, they can take breaks when they want.

00:33:10.360 And we went all in by within three days, we were up to 10,000 mass training them.

00:33:15.160 Now I'm running three shifts and we want to get up to 50,000 by the end of the week.

00:33:20.300 But one of the things that happened, Glenn was wait, wait, wait, 50,000, uh, 50,000 a

00:33:26.160 day or at the end of the week, a day, no, a day, a day, a day, I want to, yeah, we're

00:33:31.940 very good at, we're very good at, uh, ramping up in my pillow and, and here's used to big

00:33:36.540 numbers.

00:33:36.900 And, and I have such an amazing team.

00:33:39.200 We, we had to move sewing machines apart.

00:33:41.360 We had to, uh, did have a very expensive, a die cutter that cuts the fabric.

00:33:45.280 So, and, and they, the, one of the specs was they wanted 160 thread counter better.

00:33:50.120 Mine turns out it was two Oh five double.

00:33:52.340 So it's four 10.

00:33:53.280 So we overshot the mark.

00:33:55.020 And so there was a lot of things that were, that were, uh, set up almost perfect for such

00:33:59.860 a time as this for my pillow to get involved.

00:34:02.340 But, but one of the things that's happened is I became like a bicycle hub and I've got a

00:34:06.960 whole team of people.

00:34:08.220 Well, I have 20 people, it's like a task force.

00:34:10.440 We're actually going to put a website up because we're getting right, you know, from all over

00:34:14.280 the country, you know, Hey, how can I get involved as a business?

00:34:17.560 How can I help?

00:34:18.360 I have five other businesses I dealt with that switched over to getting, sewing these masks.

00:34:22.960 And they don't, you know, I want to say just the few that were there at the white house,

00:34:26.300 there are so many companies out there that are stepping up and it's just amazing to see

00:34:31.320 that.

00:34:31.640 You know, I, I read one of the guys that said, you know, that he's the fact that the

00:34:37.540 president is showcasing these private industry shows how little his administration is doing.

00:34:42.640 That is the idea of a free market.

00:34:45.500 This is exciting.

00:34:47.340 And why we always pull ahead in a crisis because the free market is, we don't have to wait for

00:34:55.800 the government to requisition things.

00:34:58.740 We just do them.

00:35:00.420 We find a better way to do them and we get it done.

00:35:04.760 Absolutely.

00:35:05.420 And I want to tell everyone out there, I went to the white house. 0.75

00:35:08.680 I'm as you know, you know me, I'm an optimist beyond belief.

00:35:11.820 I went to the white house and I'm the first, we had a round table thing with a vice president

00:35:16.040 and these, and these other companies and myself and, and they, and they're talking about

00:35:21.140 he's the statistic.

00:35:22.500 He goes, he says to me, he says, Mike, this one took, they said it would take a year.

00:35:26.680 They did it in two weeks.

00:35:27.840 I mean, he's able to take the private sector and the government say, you know what, this

00:35:32.560 one company called up and they, or one governor called him up and said, Hey, Hey, um, I can't

00:35:37.520 the, the, the government's blocking us at federally or the federal day.

00:35:41.220 Um, and he called up the, uh, FDA and it got approved in two hours.

00:35:45.200 That would have took months.

00:35:46.280 I mean, this is what he's the best at.

00:35:48.460 He here's a calm, here's common sense problem solution and what it's going to manifest to.

00:35:53.460 And it's just, no, he's built for that.

00:35:55.460 I mean, I, I left there, I'm more optimistic now than I was.

00:35:59.600 And for me to go up, you know, to double my optimism going, wow, he's going to get us

00:36:04.960 through this.

00:36:05.640 I was, I can't tell everyone else is how amazing the things they're doing.

00:36:10.180 He is a guy, and I've said this for a long time.

00:36:12.820 He loves the crisis.

00:36:15.080 He just loves it.

00:36:15.780 He, he, he lives for that, that moment of crisis.

00:36:19.280 He creates, he creates chaos, you know, through his Twitter feeds and everything, because

00:36:24.760 he loves it.

00:36:25.380 He feasts on it.

00:36:26.640 This is a real crisis.

00:36:28.020 And you can see how he is, uh, he has stabilized all of the other behavior that usually causes

00:36:37.320 the crisis because he is in a real crisis now.

00:36:40.860 And it's, and he's, he's operating as I think he does when he's building giant, you know,

00:36:48.220 building projects, he can just take on a whole bunch of different tasks and remain steady.

00:36:55.440 How has he appeared to you is his spirits and, and how is he tired?

00:37:03.620 Yeah, no, no, I don't think he tires.

00:37:06.000 I mean, he, I mean, he works harder than anyone ever.

00:37:08.880 I've ever seen, you know, 20 out of it, 20 hours out of a 24 hour day.

00:37:12.460 He does have my pillows.

00:37:13.780 So he gets quality sleep.

00:37:14.860 I'll put a plug in there.

00:37:16.140 Um, but the, uh, the, the, the, he, he is, it's like, you just said it.

00:37:22.940 He lives for this.

00:37:24.420 He's he, he knows he's the best at it.

00:37:27.400 And he is like a big guy running at orchestra, all these different silos at the same time

00:37:33.540 and cutting through the tape to get this done, to get this done.

00:37:37.200 And it's amazing.

00:37:38.260 And his spirits are good.

00:37:40.000 He just, you know, he's, I think he's one thing people don't realize about him is he's

00:37:45.080 a, he's amazing listener.

00:37:46.920 He takes it all in and he won't say right at the thing.

00:37:50.460 He just, it's like a, it's like a computer taking into his brain.

00:37:53.740 And then God's given him this gift.

00:37:56.260 He just weighs it.

00:37:57.160 And here's the answer.

00:37:58.400 And you're going to have a hard time changing my mind.

00:38:00.700 Once he gives that answer, he's that you're not going to, he knows it's the right thing.

00:38:04.160 And just because you've got other people putting their influence and maybe having their own

00:38:07.960 agenda.

00:38:08.360 Once he makes that decision, he's going to get from point A to point B and there's nothing

00:38:12.700 going to stop him.

00:38:13.380 It's just a matter of how he gets there.

00:38:15.340 Did you, with the other CEOs, did you guys talk about the economy and, uh, and how we're

00:38:22.420 going to turn this thing back on?

00:38:24.840 Yeah.

00:38:25.520 Yeah.

00:38:25.840 You know, they, that's what they were, you know, one of the things is one of the things,

00:38:29.900 the frustrations I got, I brought up, um, I said, you know, there's, um, you see all

00:38:34.980 these places that are open, like your Walmarts and grocery stores.

00:38:38.040 And I said, I am, I was sick.

00:38:40.140 And when I walk into one and they don't have people at the door security saying, Hey, put

00:38:45.440 a mask on, use this sanitizer here, or even their own employees within the business.

00:38:50.220 I set it up in my pillow.

00:38:52.020 Why not be, why do, why don't they have safety things that they're getting to be open just

00:38:56.140 because they're essential.

00:38:57.300 These people are, I told the president, I said down in Oklahoma, a friend of mine's got

00:39:02.020 house of David.

00:39:03.040 You know, obviously they're not, it's not considered a essential that you have a church

00:39:07.480 open, but yet there's a hardware, or I mean, a car.

00:39:10.140 Parts store where they're all congregated with no mask.

00:39:13.080 The clerk's not wearing a mask.

00:39:14.620 And what's wrong with that picture?

00:39:16.400 I mean, and you know, we need safe practice for their businesses are there so they can give

00:39:21.460 us confidence.

00:39:22.420 You know, when, when we, when we go back to our other, the other businesses start open,

00:39:26.760 if these aren't doing, you know, it's showing safe practices.

00:39:29.900 It's just, and we did talk about the economy.

00:39:32.920 That's what the president right now, he's hearing on one hand, millions of people would

00:39:37.300 have died.

00:39:37.660 You're saving lives.

00:39:38.520 He said, he goes, he said, my first thing is to save lives.

00:39:41.180 But he said, he said, but we've got to get people back to work.

00:39:44.200 So we need to get, we need to get solutions.

00:39:46.940 And he's, that's what he's weighing.

00:39:48.980 And that's what, what we're waiting on now is for the president to, he just keeps taking

00:39:54.120 an input.

00:39:54.600 When you, when you're seeing these delays, okay, we'll wait and we'll see, you know,

00:39:57.920 we'll push the date off here.

00:39:59.140 Well, more stuff keeps coming in more fixes.

00:40:02.920 And then when it's going to be, I believe a day's coming, president's going to go, you

00:40:05.940 know what?

00:40:06.320 We're going to start here.

00:40:07.820 These things we're going to open up here.

00:40:09.560 You're not going to say nationwide, open it up all at once.

00:40:12.100 It'll be, it'll be possible.

00:40:13.880 And then, you know, Mike, I've got to, I've got to run them up against the network break.

00:40:18.400 Thank you so much for what you did yesterday.

00:40:20.220 Thank you for the masks and we'll talk again soon.
