nevada reportedly considering closing the border to california
00:06:44.820
according to the los angeles times when is the last time you heard that about i heard about that in history stu
00:06:49.840
i mean this is how crazy it is nevada closing its quarter border with california
00:06:55.080
yeah i mean that stuff doesn't happen yeah it really just doesn't it's not one of those things
00:06:59.540
that happens that the same thing was being talked about with rhode island as they're basically trying
00:07:04.440
to quarantine people who are coming in to rhode island from other states initially starting with
00:07:08.520
new york but now supposedly to the entire country i got a new punishment for my kids if they were a
00:07:15.480
little younger it'd be a little more effective you you screw up you don't take care of the stuff
00:07:21.060
you got to watch another episode of the stand with me tonight
00:07:24.260
we're just living that i don't think that would freak him out yeah freak him out no dad don't make
00:07:33.000
me watch the stand it's really happening i was amused that that the like number one and number two
00:07:39.680
movies on netflix was outbreak and contagion it's like you guys are in the middle of that one why
00:07:47.000
are you watching it right now sounds like a bad idea so we got we we got a bunch of games one of
00:07:52.860
them is called pandemic and i realized why games aren't more popular i i i didn't want to figure out
00:07:59.480
how any of them worked you're talking about just board games generally yeah just board games we got a
00:08:05.180
bunch of board games uh and you know last last monday we had you know uh what's his name robino
00:08:10.660
on who's he's a he's a game master uh and uh and so he said you know give us the best board games we
00:08:17.940
got them all nah i don't want to learn how to play any of them yeah a lot of rules they were all like
00:08:24.360
and then if this goes on i'm like nah open up the next box by the third game my son said you just
00:08:30.160
don't want to play and i'm like yeah could be could be i just don't want to learn it i don't want to
00:08:35.020
learn it you guys learn it figure out how to play it i'll watch and then i'll jump in but i'm not
00:08:42.180
interested i think it's the extreme guy thing you know when when it comes to like building bikes you
00:08:48.800
know for christmas and everything else the handlebars are usually missing on the bikes that i would buy
00:08:53.320
uh and uh be like i didn't well there was an extra piece i didn't huh missing i don't know what
00:08:59.160
happened to that piece i don't like reading directions but when it comes to board games
00:09:04.620
to have fun read directions to have fun i'm out it really is because it's it's so much usually on
00:09:14.140
those games especially like the the quote-unquote better the game is the harder it is to get to
00:09:20.060
learn and and the how many different rules there are and changes of the rules and and you know very
00:09:25.820
specific circumstances where you have to know exactly which thing to do in what order it's like
00:09:30.560
all right like i this is supposed to be fun am i am i doing my taxes what what are we doing here
00:09:35.640
i know and it's like and it's like the the you know this one game had like you know and uh you'll
00:09:39.560
have to take the the ice crystals uh you should have 12 ice crystals and i'm like ice crystals what
00:09:45.100
the hell are the ice crystal you mean the little white plastic pieces just call them little white
00:09:49.800
plastic pieces and from here on out you can call them you know i just i spent all this time looking at
00:09:54.840
the pieces going i don't know what is this well this is the turbo uh engine of the no it's not
00:10:00.960
it's a little black piece just call it a little black piece oh anyway uh just one week after the
00:10:08.540
mexican government uh claimed that poor people are immune it looks like the epidemic is a is evident
00:10:15.140
now in mexico mexico i love this mexico's response was late wrong slow and many people are going to die
00:10:24.700
according to dr carlos del rio an infectious disease specialist at emory university in atlanta
00:10:30.120
georgia there's no reason to believe the virus here should behave differently among this population
00:10:35.440
cases are growing in mexico exponentially i'm telling you as a matter of national security
00:10:42.400
we need to close our borders close the borders especially for people coming over because they've
00:10:50.860
done absolutely nothing they had they were doing soccer matches way after like our nba seasons were
00:10:56.100
you know was canceled the the the president has been walking around down there uh you know doing
00:11:01.780
meet and greets you know it is a complete disaster they've done nothing and glenn what have they done
00:11:06.600
with trump and his response they've been critical the entire way despite the fact that he did the first
00:11:10.960
you know international flight quarantine in 50 years incredibly early in the middle of all this from
00:11:16.840
china um and we've gone over like they've done a lot of stuff here we obviously he did the all of
00:11:22.840
the flight changes in europe as well and they bitched about that that was stunning when he did that he was
00:11:28.380
the first and they've been trashing him the entire time now they're trashing him because he he was
00:11:32.080
talking about a potential quarantine of new york which andrew cuomo thought wasn't neighborly which
00:11:38.120
apparently is is what we're worried about right now being if you know if you're neighborly enough
00:11:42.660
which the entire concept of what we're doing right now is not neighborly i don't know if anyone's
00:11:46.360
noticed that but you know what the what the what the uh title was for the way mexico uh responded
00:11:52.720
in mid-march from the new york times now they've been trashing trump the entire time at every little
00:11:59.100
step everything he hasn't done enough he hasn't focused enough the uh mexico response was was this
00:12:04.400
we call for calm mexico's restrained response to the coronavirus oh they were they were they were
00:12:12.180
showing restraint they were they were showing restraint trump every single thing he does is
00:12:16.360
evil and racist but they were just showing restraint in not doing anything and having
00:12:20.740
giant 50 000 person soccer matches after everything else on earth had been canceled
00:12:26.200
and just last week they actually came out a governor of one of the states came out and said
00:12:32.840
rich people this is a rich people disease poor people can't get it like coronavirus is checking
00:12:39.220
your bank account or something what restraint it's ridiculous what restraint they're showing
00:12:43.380
there by letting people know i'm telling you we are going to be in it it will happen in california
00:12:50.260
that's already going to have a problem we should be setting up these portable hospitals up at the border
00:12:58.020
we should be doing something right now i don't want to be taking care of people but it's going to happen
00:13:04.420
you're going to have a humanitarian crisis on the border the left is going to be screaming about it
00:13:10.580
and it's going to be donald trump's fault he should move on this to protect our border right now if we
00:13:19.220
had a fence we wouldn't have this problem but you know why have a fence this is the best of the
00:13:29.580
glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening
00:13:32.300
welcome to the glenn beck program we're so glad that you have shown up and pat gray from pat gray
00:13:46.160
unleash which you can listen to on podcast at any time welcome pat how are you you may also listen
00:13:52.440
live right before this show i'm good i'm great i'm perfect uh perfect nearly perfect
00:13:59.000
you know in every way in every way you're practically mary poppins in that sort of almost
00:14:04.620
uh yeah uh so there's some good news here for the president washington uh post abc news poll
00:14:12.220
surveyed the national support among registered voters uh in head-to-head vice president uh biden
00:14:20.080
had a seven point lead in february that has now gone down to two points putting trump and biden
00:14:26.700
basically at a statistical tie but when you actually look at who's excited 43 percent of
00:14:32.540
voters say they would trust biden more to handle the coronavirus with 47 percent saying they would
00:14:37.780
trust donald trump more to manage the crisis the economic front this is where he's going to crush
00:14:42.820
52 percent of registered voters say they would prefer trump to manage the economy 42 percent say biden
00:14:48.700
would do a better job and i love this note from the washington post the poll's margin of error is 3.5
00:14:54.580
meaning the coronavirus answer is closer than it seems could be further as well right i think yes
00:15:02.680
just 28 percent of biden supporters are very enthusiastic about him as a candidate whereas 46
00:15:08.540
percent are somewhat enthusiastic 55 percent of those who support trump say they are very enthusiastic
00:15:16.620
32 say they are somewhat enthusiastic and that's really what wins elections and it's it's fun to
00:15:24.620
note the bernie voters too the the bernie voters that have said if if bernie's not the nominee they're
00:15:30.400
voting for trump like 15 percent of them that's a pretty high percentage if that turns out to be true
00:15:35.820
that could swing the election for sure what and but what do you make of the fox news polls that show
00:15:41.960
biden over trump in swing counties by 25 points that's what really wow that's uh that's it that's
00:15:51.840
amazing the guy has checked out for the most part who's who's voting for him to that extent and look
00:15:59.720
polls this entire time have showed biden with a lead over trump in almost every poll yeah they have
00:16:05.820
again that a lot of that doesn't mean you know when it's a primary it's one side's getting all the
00:16:10.840
attention you don't you haven't seen any there hasn't been any back and forth right trump hasn't
00:16:15.400
said lots of critical things they haven't had debates where biden's fallen on his face it's it's
00:16:19.980
pretty typical that that's the way it would play out that being said we are now in a i guess a general
00:16:25.400
election though everyone seems to think andrew cuomo is going to be the nominee for some reason
00:16:29.320
out of nowhere which is bizarre i think he is i i think he is i just don't think i just don't think
00:16:35.860
you can run joe biden i just don't think it's going to happen i just i don't think he's going
00:16:40.680
to make it that long the interesting he's not he's not good no he's terrible but cuomo is horrible
00:16:47.940
yeah what has this man done he's been a disaster he's given news conferences every day yeah and they
00:16:53.540
and what has he done he's reversed his own decisions 10 times each yeah he's he's he's implemented
00:16:58.560
positions that have led to the largest crisis in the entire coronavirus saga in the united states
00:17:07.500
he has not been able to reverse it he's been sitting here complaining the entire time to no avail
00:17:12.360
this has been a disaster for him and and by the way as late as what march 17th he was telling people
00:17:18.700
that the panic was unwarranted it was two weeks ago two weeks ago how's this guy like this shows how
00:17:24.640
little confidence they have in biden they would even consider you're not going to get that you're
00:17:28.100
not going to get that anywhere else you're not going to get that from mainstream media they'll
00:17:32.800
never report on that i mean uh look at um uh not bloomberg but uh de blasio de blasio just
00:17:40.360
was just going to the gym last week remember he was like i'm gonna close the gym tonight but i'm gonna
00:17:47.120
go and get a last workout in uh he's now saying uh to the press who is who is after him and he's
00:17:54.620
like look what do you what do you talk we don't need to talk about the past we need to focus on the
00:17:59.320
future i mean he's he is getting slammed the the the poll results now of um of uh of cuomo are
00:18:11.620
really he's like showing like 87 approval rating in the state of new york which is weird because
00:18:19.600
almost half the cases in the united states come from new york alone and that's a part of that could
00:18:26.940
be rallying around the executive in charge it happens all the time in war uh whether you know
00:18:32.220
at the end of the day you look at the war and you judge it right but during the war usually there's a
00:18:37.000
rally around the executive and that's the one worry you'd think about with trump and his numbers as
00:18:41.980
well which they look really good on coronavirus right now the question is you know is that just a
00:18:46.840
yeah and the economy the question is is that just one of those things where people are rallying
00:18:51.240
behind him because he's kind of the face of this and in charge and and we need we really want him
00:18:56.120
to succeed so badly that could be the case with with with uh cuomo and remember george bush 41
00:19:03.220
he was really popular like six months before uh and that turned completely around by the time the
00:19:11.100
election i mean it doesn't really matter what you're doing right now what the polls say right now
00:19:15.500
it can completely change uh i have a feeling if we are though in a a depression uh it's different
00:19:25.600
than just the economy going soft and people losing jobs i think when you look at who you're going to
00:19:32.000
have rebuild the country i think americans will go to donald trump because the average american does
00:19:38.580
look at him as a guy who's built an empire and knows how to get things done uh and i think that's
00:19:46.060
if you're watching his press conferences that's what you're getting from him right now is this this
00:19:52.600
this look of like wow he i mean he knows what he's doing here uh and he's listening to the experts and
00:20:00.320
he's getting things done and i think that'll go a long way if the if the economy is in really bad
00:20:09.140
shape so i think he'd actually do well so what do you guys think is the mechanism in which cuomo
00:20:15.140
replaces biden how does that work he's way ahead in the delegates obviously cuomo's not on any of the
00:20:20.760
ballots so what do you what's i i'd have to have so i've been reading up on this right i yeah i think
00:20:26.300
up at the convention i think if they you know the head of the convention just gets up and goes
00:20:30.380
i mean guys come on right oh the guys clause right uh yeah guys it's the come on guys it's the come
00:20:39.120
on guys yeah yeah guys i mean look look at him uh not a chance not a chance i guess that could be it
00:20:46.580
i mean part of me thinks that there is a path to get you know cuomo or someone else to be the nominee
00:20:51.240
if they say look covet 19 too serious we can't hold the rest of these primaries no one's got the
00:20:57.140
delegates it's just going to be a contested convention um because if you run these actual
00:21:01.520
elections whether you want him to or not most likely biden's going to wind up being the nominee
00:21:05.920
because he's going to get above the delegates needed he doesn't need to perform well to get there
00:21:09.760
at this point so i you know you think he's probably would get there if these things are actually
00:21:14.300
held i guess if you cancel all of them though and what is it next is it next week it's next tuesday
00:21:18.920
right um the next one finally i think they're all they're all canceled there's one that oh they are
00:21:23.460
canceled most of them are moved or canceled some of them have been like mail-in only situations
00:21:28.520
they've converted to mail-in only but i don't think there's any wow there may be one that's still
00:21:33.000
scheduled to run as normal but you can't there's no way i mean next week and the week after these two
00:21:39.720
weeks are the peak now you know the next 15 days yeah this is when it is all supposed to peak
00:21:46.260
and there's no way next week you're like yeah you know what i'm gonna go out into the polls
00:21:50.360
vote yeah go out vote not a not a chance a million of my closest friends yeah i'm gonna go out and
00:21:55.960
vote for joe biden no no we always talk about that like i go out and walk through a wall of fire to
00:22:02.060
vote for this candidate they're not that's not joe biden and you know wall of fire is one thing you
00:22:08.080
know potentially getting sick they won't walk out with they won't walk out with a match there's a match
00:22:15.280
on the ground it's not even on fire i ain't going out there

your favorite podcasts congressman thomas massey uh is been in congress now since uh 2012 i think
00:22:49.340
he's he's one of my favorites he stands up for what is right uh he faced an impossible decision i think
00:22:56.120
last week uh last week the congress wanted to pass this this spending bill of two trillion dollars
00:23:03.480
largest spending package in american history and wanted to do it uh just as a just as a you know
00:23:10.900
uh no contest i can't remember stew what do they what do they call those votes um where you just
00:23:17.600
don't have to even unanimous consent well nobody was even there nobody was even there so chama thomas
00:23:23.460
massey got into his car on thursday and started driving towards the capitol because he felt that
00:23:28.560
everybody needed to be there essential workers i mean this would be essential part of your job wouldn't
00:23:33.800
congress um and he wanted to be there and he said we we've got to have everybody vote on this this
00:23:41.080
this is huge and it's full of waste and everything else well no good deed goes unpunished that's not
00:23:48.640
popular on either side thomas massey is here to join us and and to tell us what he was thinking and what
00:23:55.680
he's thinking now hi thomas how are you how you doing glenn look this was about congress trying to avoid
00:24:01.660
accountability for the largest wealth transfer from the middle class to the moneyed class in the
00:24:07.080
history of mankind even the roman emperors couldn't pull this off and they wanted like you said they
00:24:12.960
wanted to do it by unanimous consent now they first said we don't need to be there and i said no the
00:24:19.100
constitution says otherwise to do legislative business at least half of you need to be there
00:24:23.980
then they said we can't make it on time i said you're telling people to stay home of course they're
00:24:30.460
not going to get here on time if you're telling them to stay home and by the way my intention
00:24:34.920
wasn't to delay this bill that's why i shared my strategy with the leadership days before so they
00:24:42.880
could get everybody there in time but they were still telling everybody to stay home then they said
00:24:47.420
this is the this is the rich one here it's not safe for us listen 96 senators made it to work
00:24:55.800
that on tuesday i can tell you we should have been able to get at least 50 percent of our members
00:25:01.740
there especially when these congressmen are telling the truck drivers keep driving they're telling the
00:25:06.400
farmers keep farming they're telling the grocery baggers bring it out to our car for us please
00:25:11.420
right and but these congressmen who are making 174 000 a year and getting their health care paid for
00:25:17.620
by the taxpayer said we don't want to go to work but the truth came out on friday when i asked for the
00:25:24.480
recorded vote and before that i had discussions with kevin mccarthy and nancy pelosi and that's
00:25:30.580
what it became clear to me nancy pelosi said we don't want a recorded vote because there's some
00:25:34.820
members who aren't here and we don't want them to have political fallout for not being here you know
00:25:40.120
some of them are sick and we'll go out and explain why you didn't come to congress if but the reality
00:25:46.400
was kevin mccarthy and nancy pelosi were trying to protect their incumbents from primary challengers
00:25:52.680
they didn't want them to go on the record and so here's where i called their bluff and here was
00:25:59.020
checkmate on friday they said we won't have enough members there to pass it and you'll delay it a day
00:26:05.460
well when i asked for the recorded vote they refused the recorded vote at which point i demanded a quorum
00:26:11.980
call at that point they they pulled people in the room they put them up in the gallery they maintained
00:26:17.660
social distancing i don't know how many people were there they said there was a quorum okay if
00:26:24.160
there if there wasn't a quorum they were violating the constitution but let's give them the benefit of
00:26:29.080
the doubt and say there was a quorum why didn't they take the vote then it would have passed that's
00:26:33.680
when i called their bluff on it so wait so they when you call a quorum don't you have to count
00:26:41.940
huh they said they counted it took him like one second the guy in the speaker's chair he he turned
00:26:48.540
his head from left to right he said a quorum is here and i'd already wargamed this with the
00:26:53.760
parliamentarian he said it's not debatable you can't you can't uh appeal it the the the speaker's
00:27:00.700
count is absolute uh so then he and he says if there is a quorum he has the right to say we're not
00:27:09.700
voting on it that's correct and this is the first time since i've been in congress glenn that they've
00:27:15.420
ever denied a request for a recorded vote the first time ever on the biggest bill ever and listen
00:27:22.320
if this had been a manhattan type project where we said we're gonna we're gonna make ventilators
00:27:28.100
like we've never made them before we're going to come up with the antigen antibody test which is
00:27:32.840
required and we're going to guarantee every american that you can get a test regardless of whether you're
00:27:37.920
a grocery bagger or a politician or a celebrity because that's the only way we get out of this
00:27:43.080
but it wasn't that bill this was this was a wealth transfer do the i'm asking your listeners to do the
00:27:50.420
math six trillion dollars let's say there's a uh a hundred million families in the united states
00:27:56.100
that's sixty thousand dollars per family and they're offering twelve hundred dollar checks
00:28:00.700
the twelve hundred dollar check is the cheese in the trap
00:28:03.220
you're saying that each of us paid sixty thousand dollars and we're only getting a twelve hundred
00:28:14.280
dollar check yes that's what's going to happen and there's some other stuff in this bill that's not
00:28:19.340
even unraveled yet that when people find out what's going on when the fed starts playing in the stock
00:28:24.500
market and the congress can't look at you want to talk about insider trading what does it mean when
00:28:31.060
somebody who knows when the interest rates are going to move can can take positions in the stock
00:28:37.060
market that's bad enough but what does it mean when somebody who can move interest rates can take
00:28:42.160
positions in the stock market the mom and dad back home we're trying to invest make smart decisions
00:28:50.120
in their 401k or maybe they're investing directly in the stock market how do they have a chance with
00:28:57.700
so thomas uh you you took a beating from donald trump you're up for re-election uh you had to know
00:29:11.460
this was not going to be popular uh and not popular with him or anybody else uh what's the fallout
00:29:18.620
there and and what do you what do you what's happening well and i know i didn't people say i
00:29:26.460
did this for political advantage look my my re-election i know isn't it laughable yeah it is
00:29:34.640
yeah it is now i've got big big dark money after me now i've got three tweets from the president
00:29:40.800
after me do you think that helps me in an election it does not help me but there's two reasons i did this
00:29:47.280
plan i don't want people to think i went down and lit myself on fire just for just you know because i
00:29:53.260
didn't have a plan number one people can have hope if at least one person will fight but when everybody
00:30:00.120
in congress hides from the accountability people lose all hope so that's number one number two
00:30:06.780
strategically think about this if we had all stayed home and let nancy pelosi pass this bill
00:30:12.740
with only her in this in the speaker's chair and one person on the floor that sets her up for this
00:30:19.300
fourth bill which if you listen to the democrats debate even just listen to nancy pelosi take her
00:30:25.100
at her word she says the third bill was just a down payment and now they're going to come out with
00:30:29.900
a fourth bill and we would have paved the way for her to just put that gavel down with nobody there
00:30:35.720
and everybody would have thought it was normal to stay home but now her democratic members are going
00:30:40.880
to say really nancy you're going to do this because massey's going to drag our asses i'm sorry can i
00:30:47.100
say that anyways massey's going to drag us into uh the chamber again and we don't want to do it we
00:30:53.740
want to stay home so this makes it harder for pelosi to get her agenda across and i would argue
00:30:59.760
it strengthens donald trump's hand in the next negotiation to know that nancy pelosi can't run the
00:31:05.820
tables with nobody there so how much did they run the tables i mean how much how much of this stuff
00:31:12.740
in there is coming from nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and well and their ilk most of it's coming
00:31:20.480
from the moneyed class of course they're promoting they're getting the things they want there's there's
00:31:25.640
the taste of socialism here and it's a taste of thing it's a preview of coming attractions
00:31:30.320
but what the really bad part about this is they're the they're saying to the shareholders
00:31:36.680
and the big bankers not the mom and pop banks but the big banks they're saying we're going to make
00:31:42.500
you whole you're going to be just fine and we're going to we're going to socialize the risks that
00:31:47.540
you've taken now they privatize the gains and they socialize the risks and that's a big problem
00:31:53.740
because it's it's mom and dad who are holding the bag on this one and they're with the inflation
00:32:01.240
that's coming if you've saved any money for retirement they don't even have to open your
00:32:06.080
safe to take it out they're going to devalue the dollar
00:32:08.500
thomas uh a message for the white house or the president at all any kind of i mean i know you don't
00:32:22.820
i've got several i mean i know you're on the side of the the president most times you're on the side
00:32:28.220
of the president my message is this uh donald trump was misled by the moneyed class who i believe they
00:32:38.460
were they had insider trading i believe there were puts and calls and market uh positions taken for
00:32:44.260
that bill to pass on friday and that's why they were so panicked when one voice stood up
00:32:48.680
they were all mad at me but i did this in a professional way i told the the leadership that
00:32:56.620
i was going to ask for the vote and ultimately it wasn't even delayed for one minute so i would say
00:33:02.540
to the president look back all that came out of this is i made congress come to work and i've
00:33:07.720
strengthened his hand going forward and i know i've kicked the hornet's nest and if he's going to come
00:33:12.480
against me in this election so be it i hope not uh i would remind you glenn he said he was going to
00:33:18.840
come after mark meadows when mark voted against the republican health care bill and now mark's his
00:33:24.720
chief of staff now i'm not applying for chief of staff i just want to tell you there is life after
00:33:29.160
after the mean tweet but my website is thomasmassey.com i've kicked the hornet's nest if anybody still
00:33:37.680
believes in america if anybody believes you should show up to work if you're a congressman
00:33:42.280
please support me in this thomasmassey.com i am going to take a beating in this election
00:33:47.500
thomas thank you so much i appreciate it i am always uh i always like the underdog i always like
00:33:55.720
the underdog and um especially one with principals i personally wish he wouldn't have done this um but
00:34:02.300
because i would have liked him to be there for a very long time and i think this is going to hurt him
00:34:07.460
uh but not if people rally around uh and help him representative thomas massey
