Transcript
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.

00:01:47.920
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.
00:02:19.520
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.
00:02:36.440
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.
00:03:14.460
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,
00:03:28.260
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,
00:04:23.880
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.
00:04:44.020
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.
00:05:01.360
Health care workers now using forklifts to load dead bodies into refrigerated trucks in New York.
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.
00:05:43.740
And he says, I'm sorry, my hands are shaking, uh, because this is, this is real.
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.
00:06:09.980
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.
00:06:29.400
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.
00:07:19.400
I mean, he's totally right that they're going to try to exploit the situation as much as they can.
00:07:25.340
And that's certainly going to continue $2 trillion infrastructure bill.
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.
00:07:54.800
I was looking, looking back at, um, you know, our notes from earlier.
00:08:00.120
This is a big, this is a big story at the time.
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.
00:08:21.580
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.
00:08:56.120
We are, we, we, we, we're, there's, there's no accountability anymore.
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.
00:09:37.260
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.
00:10:05.940
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.
00:10:21.300
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.
00:10:30.980
And they'll say, no, if you, do you have a $1 trillion?
00:10:41.200
The $1 trillion coin is going to be our normal mode of currency.
00:10:46.340
You're actually bringing to grocery stores very soon if we don't stop doing this.
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.
00:11:08.000
I understand we are in the middle of something serious.
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?
00:11:25.040
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.
00:11:39.920
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.
00:12:00.920
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.
00:12:58.440
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?
00:13:11.780
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?
00:13:22.660
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?
00:13:44.340
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.
00:14:01.640
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.
00:14:22.020
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.
00:15:26.320
Do you remember the, the couple that ingested the fish tank cleaner?
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.
00:15:56.900
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.
00:16:58.220
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.
00:17:19.600
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.
00:17:30.580
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.
00:17:40.960
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.
00:18:27.400
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.
00:18:42.080
And that's when I went and got the chloroquine phosphate, which is not what the president was talking about.
00:18:54.240
He never told anybody to take the fish tank cleaner.
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.
00:19:05.540
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.
00:19:16.320
She decided at spur of the moment to try taking it, but reach, reach for the fish tank cleaner, uh, phosphate, blah, blah, blah.
00:19:24.880
She said, we weren't big supporters, but we did see that they were using it in China and stuff.
00:19:39.880
She said, uh, she said, don't take the president's words.
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
00:20:15.680
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.
00:20:45.820
Well, I mean, like we all know that you can eat fish, but you don't go to your fish tank
00:20:53.400
Like there happens to be a similar word that happens to be associated with the fish tank.
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
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.
00:21:25.620
Uh, but you know, the way that it's, you know, it's just so bizarre coming from a person who
00:21:32.320
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.
00:21:42.960
Just doesn't seem, it seems like a very, it's a very shady story.
00:21:57.520
That sounds like somebody, something somebody would say that's been watching the tiger
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.
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.
00:22:42.500
And she's got them all in these really crappy cages.
00:22:45.000
Anyway, apparently he was trying to kill her, but then you find out that her really rich, you
00:22:55.720
Uh, and, uh, and they've never been able to find the body and say that maybe she killed
00:23:07.900
You watch this and you're just like, I don't, I, I've never seen a bigger freak show than,
00:23:20.780
Every 10 minutes you think, okay, can't get worse than this.
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
00:23:50.920
That's the only way we get justice done anymore in this country.
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
00:24:25.760
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.
00:24:36.980
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
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,
00:25:27.060
Oh, like a Christopher Guest movie, you're saying?
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
00:25:53.980
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
00:26:02.220
But now everybody's at home watching television.
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.
00:26:16.640
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
00:26:32.920
I mean, you, you just, you wouldn't do, you couldn't have done it.
00:26:38.180
That's why we're willing to give up our constitutional rights.
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
00:27:01.000
Now these Netflix numbers have got to be outrageously huge and you know, they don't, they don't share
00:27:27.660
And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat gray unleashed.

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.
00:27:57.960
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.
00:28:16.640
He's the guy from my pillow and he's retooling his factories to be able to make, uh, masks for
00:28:25.600
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.
00:28:43.740
I encourage you to use this time at home to get back to the word, to read our Bibles, bring
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.
00:29:03.960
Trump just called the my pillow guy up to the podium in the Rose garden.
00:29:11.640
He had the my pillow guy on to sell his garbage product during a pandemic briefing.
00:29:18.260
Um, no one, uh, no one fights a pandemic better than, uh, or more scientifically than in the
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
00:29:47.200
I thought it was eloquent and I thought it was exactly the right thing to do.
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
00:30:03.100
And, and, uh, I didn't, you know, I thought I didn't think it'd be a tech like that.
00:30:08.620
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.
00:30:18.840
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.
00:30:54.440
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,
00:31:07.960
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.
00:31:25.840
And I read it to him and said, Mike, you know, I'm not a big Donald Trump fan, but he said,
00:31:34.040
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
00:31:47.580
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
00:32:12.340
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.
00:32:24.440
Well, about two weeks ago, I said, you know what, we got to make masks.
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
00:32:39.140
And, and he says, we have this thing set up as a coalition.
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
00:32:52.560
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
00:33:41.360
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.
00:33:55.020
And so there was a lot of things that were, that were, uh, set up almost perfect for such
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
00:34:08.220
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?
00:34:18.360
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
00:34:31.640
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.
00:34:47.340
And why we always pull ahead in a crisis because the free market is, we don't have to wait for
00:35:00.420
We find a better way to do them and we get it done.
00:35:05.420
And I want to tell everyone out there, I went to the white house.
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
00:35:22.500
He goes, he says to me, he says, Mike, this one took, they said it would take a year.
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.
00:35:48.460
He here's a calm, here's common sense problem solution and what it's going to manifest to.
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
00:36:05.640
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.
00:36:15.780
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
00:36:28.020
And you can see how he is, uh, he has stabilized all of the other behavior that usually causes
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?
00:37:06.000
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.
00:37:16.140
Um, but the, uh, the, the, the, he, he is, it's like, you just said 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.
00:37:40.000
He just, you know, he's, I think he's one thing people don't realize about him is he's
00:37:46.920
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.
00:37:58.400
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
00:38:08.360
Once he makes that decision, he's going to get from point A to point B and there's nothing
00:38:15.340
Did you, with the other CEOs, did you guys talk about the economy and, uh, and how we're
00:38:25.840
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.
00:38:40.140
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.
00:38:52.020
Why not be, why do, why don't they have safety things that they're getting to be open just
00:38:57.300
These people are, I told the president, I said down in Oklahoma, a friend of mine's got
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.
00:39:16.400
I mean, and you know, we need safe practice for their businesses are there so they can give
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.
00:39:32.920
That's what the president right now, he's hearing on one hand, millions of people would
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.
00:39:48.980
And that's what, what we're waiting on now is for the president to, he just keeps taking
00:39:54.600
When you, when you're seeing these delays, okay, we'll wait and we'll see, you know,
00:40:02.920
And then when it's going to be, I believe a day's coming, president's going to go, you
00:40:09.560
You're not going to say nationwide, open it up all at once.
00:40:13.880
And then, you know, Mike, I've got to, I've got to run them up against the network break.
00:40:20.220
Thank you for the masks and we'll talk again soon.
