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 1.00

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 0.79

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 0.99

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

00:22:18.400 no way no way

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 1.00

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 0.78

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

00:28:55.920 that kind of insider trading going on

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 0.87

00:30:19.300 fourth bill which if you listen to the democrats debate even just listen to nancy pelosi take her 0.96

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 1.00

00:30:35.720 and everybody would have thought it was normal to stay home but now her democratic members are going 0.73

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 0.99

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 0.79

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
