00:02:39.880 he's been in the news for for going up in the rose garden and while he was being thanked by the

00:02:47.780 president uh for making 50 000 surgical masks a day they've totally repackaged my pillow uh and they've

00:02:57.080 they've taken and stopped making pillows and and everything else for a while and they're just

00:03:01.720 retooling one of their big factories just to make surgical masks 50 000 every day now and he did it

00:03:08.440 because he wanted to help out and the the media just bashed him because he dared to mention god and that

00:03:14.980 we should use this time to go back to god and and study our scriptures etc etc he's a real american hero

00:03:22.100 uh and he makes great products when he isn't trying to save the country um i i think he is

00:05:07.900 the daily stats total confirmed deaths now worldwide 43,271 that's up from 38,000 yesterday

00:05:17.000 what's amazing is we're now talking about in america alone a death count over 100,000 between

00:05:23.380 100 and 200,000 just in america total confirmed cases now we approach a million 872,000 up from

00:05:32.940 799 so almost about 80,000 new cases yesterday we now have 188,000 confirmed cases and 4,000 deaths

00:05:43.900 that's up 20,000 in uh the uh case count and up almost a thousand in deaths just in the last 24

00:05:53.620 hour we now lead the world in total confirmed cases with 78,000 that's more cases than italy although

00:06:00.760 italy leads the world in deaths with 12,428 11 of the u.s confirmed cases are requiring hospitalization

00:06:09.980 roughly on par with italy we we may have a lot of cases but not per capita we are 24th in total confirmed

00:06:19.260 cases per 1 million people with 507 cases per 1 million spain has 2185 cases more than four times the amount

00:06:31.900 per million we are 28th in total confirmed dead per 1 million with 12 dead per 1 million italy has 206

00:06:43.980 dead per 1 million now here's the thing that we want to transition into with uh steven moore the u.s

00:06:51.260 energy industry is on the verge of a massive collapse for the first time in my lifetime it could be said

00:06:58.960 three weeks ago that the united states was free from all foreign energy we were energy independent

00:07:07.420 for the first time in my lifetime we have been trying to get that monkey off of our back forever

00:07:13.440 well under trump we finally accomplished it now the u.s energy market is on the verge of

00:07:22.240 massive collapse here's why russia and the uh saudis have just been pumping oil like there is no tomorrow

00:07:32.000 they've been trying to collapse the united states energy uh independence they need us to be hooked on

00:07:38.740 their energy well they did that as soon as the airlines started to collapse all around the world

00:07:46.000 transportation is down 45 percent so that's why you're seeing gas prices going so low in fact

00:07:56.860 they're going so low there's so much oil now we are literally swimming in oil the world is

00:08:01.220 that they're thinking now that that the price could even go into the negative range for a price of a barrel

00:08:07.820 of oil so they'd pay you five bucks to take the oil because there's no place to store all of the oil

00:08:14.960 rick perry has recommended that u.s refineries be restricted now from importing and refining any

00:08:21.320 foreign petroleum products for at least 60 days as a means to help domestic energy producers in

00:08:27.140 texas north dakota pennsylvania and colorado i think this is something that as an emergency step the

00:08:33.440 president should do if independent energy producers go out of business we are handing the market back

00:08:40.360 to russia and saudi arabia rick perry says it's 1974 all over again in our bailout nation now the car industry

00:08:50.620 needs a bailout year over year automobile sales in the u.s are off as much as 90 percent

00:08:57.100 analysts say april is going to be worse dan ferguson said everything you need to know

00:09:04.520 he's the manager of a ford dealership in arizona he said he may have to lay off his entire staff of 48

00:09:10.300 employees he said we hear there are supposed to be government loan programs for small businesses

00:09:14.780 but that money may be meet weeks away i can't make payroll today one other it looks like in uh new york

00:09:27.320 40 percent of renters are not going to be able to make rent this month and it's expected to be worse

00:09:36.160 next month the problem with that is stick it to the landlord right except the landlord's not getting

00:09:43.200 any relief how is the landlord if he's not getting rent going to be able to pay for all the water

00:09:49.140 garbage uh electricity everything that it takes to run one of these apartment buildings there is a

00:09:57.060 meltdown coming steven moore is joining us now hello steven how are you well hi glenn i just

00:10:04.680 listened to what you were saying and it is it is just so catastrophic i mean it makes my heart drop

00:10:10.580 to hear these stories about business after business going bankrupt and you know it's just it's heartbreaking

00:10:17.240 and you know i i can't tell you how many business men and women have called me in the last few days and

00:10:23.100 said the same thing i can't meet payroll you know revenues and customers out of the oxygen supply of

00:10:28.720 business and uh you know i i'm sorry i just i think this i haven't talked to you about it recently

00:10:36.200 glenn but i i just don't think that this lockdown of our economy is the right thing to do i think that

00:10:41.720 it's suffering human suffering the trillions of dollars of losses the millions of people who've spent

00:10:48.000 the heroes of our economy the people who've built up businesses from ground floor to you know put

00:10:53.600 their whole life into it to see it ruined in a matter of weeks you know again it's unspeakable

00:10:59.700 it's horrible we got to get our economy reopened so steven i agree with you i just don't see a way

00:11:06.860 of doing that safely um and the problem is is you know there there might be 200 000 dead but if we

00:11:15.660 destroy the engine of the world if we destroy this and we can't get back online and start really

00:11:24.380 jumping back in how many millions will die because america is is is in wreckage

00:11:33.140 well that's the question we should be asking and these are tough questions i was uh i apologize for

00:11:40.120 being a little late for your show today i was on the phone with some of the folks at the white house

00:11:43.560 talking about this and it's a you know the president's got some really tough decisions to

00:11:47.460 make and this is you know his true chillian moment he has to he has to guide us through this

00:11:51.940 um i i think the idea you know i live in virginia our governor insanely has said that he wants to keep

00:11:58.560 the economy locked down until the middle of june that to me is not crazy an economy it's crazy it's

00:12:04.620 lunatic i mean you do that there's not going to be an economy left to rebuild and and uh in june when

00:12:10.300 the things are reopened so you know it's interesting i'm going to give you some rays of sunlight here

00:12:15.000 i had a long conversation uh glenn with one of my heroes fred smith uh the ceo of fedex one of

00:12:21.780 america's great great companies one of our largest companies and biggest employers and uh we spoke for

00:12:26.940 about an hour and he he has he's up and running you know he and they're they're up and running uh not

00:12:32.000 just in the united states but throughout the world as you know they have 350 000 employees in the united

00:12:37.040 state 350 000 that's a lot that's like a you know pretty medium-sized city and i said how many of

00:12:42.940 those people because they've been working for the last six eight weeks i said how many have come out

00:12:46.640 down sick he said less than 400 so that's one in a thousand you know that's one in a thousand and

00:12:51.940 what he's saying is they're using all the best practices the medical practices they're doing

00:12:56.360 sterilizations and disinfectants and they're wearing masks and they're you know wearing gloves and they're

00:13:01.400 doing social distancing in the workplace and i'm here to tell you glenn i think we can do this in a

00:13:05.960 smart way that reduce the risk of death we may have to tolerate some additional deaths but that's

00:13:12.080 the kind of decision we make every day in every policy decision we make but uh you know there's

00:13:17.580 a rule of thumb every 10 000 every one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate and this is

00:13:22.880 a rule of thumb but it's fairly uh you know accurate historically every one percentage point increase

00:13:27.880 in unemployment rate is associated with 10 000 additional deaths in the united states some economists are

00:13:33.120 saying we're going to see a 25 unemployment rate in this country and that's very conceivable if we 0.94

00:13:37.820 continue to lock down our economy so there we've just caught 200 000 more deaths just from raising the

00:13:43.540 unemployment rate so we have to be very smart about this and calibrated in our decisions uh and and

00:13:49.860 i just don't think that this idea of there's this trade-off between our economy and our health

00:13:54.800 is being discussed in a responsible manner so steven um the fed came out with their prediction of

00:14:03.500 thirty two and a half percent unemployment by june 1st that is i mean the height of the depression

00:14:12.340 was i think 25 percent we've never seen anything like that what should americans expect or prepare for

00:14:21.540 well god let's let's pray that that doesn't happen because you know then you know you're

00:14:28.340 talking to go back to my rule of thumb there's about 300 000 additional deaths just from the

00:14:32.060 rise in the unemployment rate uh and that and that else that also is revolution that's that's

00:14:38.260 that's revolution territory yeah i yeah see this is what worries me is i think you're going to get

00:14:43.680 you know social chaos in that situation when you have that many people unemployed you're going to it

00:14:48.980 doesn't look glenn let me let me start from the beginning here because no none of the panads of

00:14:52.680 washington understand this they keep thinking oh we're just going to keep having one you know bailout

00:14:58.200 bill after another one stimulus bill after another two trillion three trillion four trillion five

00:15:02.920 trillion dollars and then the fed says we're just going to keep printing money and i'm here to tell you

00:15:06.800 glenn it doesn't matter how much money the fed prints it doesn't matter how many of these rescue

00:15:11.960 plans how many trillions of dollars they put into helicopters and dump over cities if the american

00:15:17.460 economy isn't producing it collapses it doesn't matter how much money they're there i mean they're

00:15:22.600 we only need this is this this is the crazy thing steven i don't understand why they just didn't say

00:15:31.020 moratorium on rent and and mortgages and everything else for for two months or whatever it is because

00:15:38.580 what people need to know right now is i can pay my i can pay my basic bills i can pay for uh you know

00:15:47.700 the rent and my company doesn't have to worry about their mortgage on their building and those big items

00:15:54.140 i don't know why we're not covering that because we're not going out in spending we're not doing it

00:16:00.040 and so all we need right now is just to not lose our place that's what we need just don't lose our

00:16:08.960 place don't don't let me lose my restaurant that i've worked my whole life to build because i can't

00:16:15.000 afford the rent that's happening as we speak and it's heartbreaking it's happening in neighborhoods

00:16:21.660 several around the country and towns and uh you know i is there any talk in washington about doing

00:16:28.720 anything for that well we just sent out uh you know twelve hundred dollars per uh adult and

00:16:35.960 five hundred dollars per child and we've got the you know the unemployment insurance that is paying 0.70

00:16:41.300 people 100 of what their paychecks are so we're providing a lot of aid uh i but the problem isn't

00:16:46.860 the aid it's it's we need our businesses to be functioning you know open i mean yeah they need to

00:16:53.700 be functioning they need to be open you mentioned that story about um you know i was listening

00:16:58.700 what you're saying before i came the people not paying their rent i just got off the phone with

00:17:03.640 a woman who owns uh apartment buildings throughout the country she is not rich by any means that's how 1.00

00:17:09.160 she makes money and she says basically uh starting two weeks ago zero everybody stopped their rent

00:17:16.000 because the government's saying hey you cannot pay your rent you won't be evicted and people are making

00:17:19.980 this as well i'm just not going to pay well think about that means now she doesn't have any income 1.00

00:17:23.840 right because nobody's paying her rent so she can't pay her bills so she has to foreclose on the 1.00

00:17:29.020 you know on the bank the loan she has from the bank the bank now doesn't have any money i mean i

00:17:34.240 worried this cascades in a really ugly way if we don't really get up and running again yeah it

00:17:41.100 reorders everything and the only ones the only ones that might win are at the very very top or at the

00:17:49.020 at the uh at the government level uh nobody wins in this one well nobody wins in this one all right

00:17:56.200 steven hang on just a second yeah hang on just a second we'll be back in just a second

00:18:01.360 this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening

00:18:10.020 uh welcome to the uh program we have steven moore with us he was just on the phone with uh white

00:18:23.120 house um economic advisors uh trying to work his way through all of this steven what what are we

00:18:30.880 expecting for the unemployment numbers tomorrow gosh uh you know they're gonna be high they're

00:18:40.240 gonna be rotten you know it's amazing uh because i think friday we come out with the the new

00:18:45.560 unemployment rate numbers uh i think uh thursday we get the new unemployment insurance claims

00:18:51.820 they're gonna be rotten terrible we're gonna see you know a million more people signing up for

00:18:57.700 unemployment insurance i mean this is just a natural so you don't think it will be bigger than

00:19:01.860 the you don't think it will be bigger than last week yeah i do i do think it will i think we'll

00:19:08.020 go from okay we have what three three million something last week and i think we could get five

00:19:13.120 million this week hard to tell i mean how fast people sign up for these benefits but um right

00:19:18.380 you know i mean look it's very simple folks without businesses you don't have jobs i don't know why

00:19:23.300 aoc and so forth don't understand that but you know they keep demonizing businesses in that aid

00:19:29.360 back oh we can't help businesses i mean i'm i'm the biggest i hate corporate welfare and i hate

00:19:34.620 business handouts but you got to give some loans to these businesses so they don't go bankrupt so they

00:19:39.620 can be up and running when we get through this so we when you look at when you look at um

00:19:46.580 the unemployment new claims at five million maybe what what kind of number is that we went from the

00:19:54.420 lowest unemployment in 50 years 3.5 or 6 what are we looking at when that new number comes out this

00:20:01.540 friday you know i almost feel like uh this is some bad nightmare that i'm going to wake up from because

00:20:08.440 it was just a month ago it seems like 10 years ago that we had the best jobs report you know ever we

00:20:13.560 had 350 000 jobs in february with uh counting the revisions from the previous months we had a

00:20:18.960 the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years we had rising wages we had the fed reserve bank was saying

00:20:24.260 we're growing we're growing at three to four percent now we're just booming and now we hit this wall and

00:20:28.600 it's just it depresses me i'm sorry i'm so depressed this morning but i just i feel so horrible for our

00:20:33.200 country uh in terms of the the you know misery that this is going to cause people and i just want to get

00:20:38.960 it over with yeah i want to get us up and running again uh because that you know people it's horrible

00:20:44.500 when you you know i'm a i know you run a business i i'm on the board of a business we had about 30

00:20:50.240 employees and uh we had to lay them all off this week glenn and that's just a heartbreaking thing

00:20:55.040 to have to do but we don't have any money how can we pay people if we don't have any revenue

00:20:58.620 so steven is there is there a point to where if we could print enough masks you know make enough

00:21:13.560 masks get everybody you know to wear them wear gloves you know practice safely is there a chance

00:21:21.420 in the next four weeks that we could go back to work and we would see the engine just flame up

00:21:27.880 because i think there'd be a lot of people that would be you know there's a lot of pent-up spending

00:21:33.040 and creativity and everything else yeah when does that when does that flame kind of do you worry go

00:21:40.600 out and we're at a point of no return yeah that is my worry where you you know you get this cascading

00:21:47.620 effect where you know once a business goes bankrupt and has to sell their assets but a good business

00:21:52.780 doesn't exist anymore it can't it can't resurrect itself um and so you know that's happening so

00:21:58.600 that's why i keep telling the white house every week that you you know that you keep the economy

00:22:04.260 shut down if this is not like a fine-tuned engine where you can just click the ignition it starts up

00:22:09.520 again so it's a hard uh question to answer look i have nothing but respect for the resilience of the

00:22:16.600 american people the american workers and especially our great entrepreneurs we are going to get out of this

00:22:21.600 and hopefully glenn you know six months from now when you and i are talking we're only talking about

00:22:26.100 coronavirus but uh these are tough times and all i'm saying is every day that goes by with this

00:22:32.280 shutdown it gets harder to start it up again so steven the um the the the the frightening thing for me

00:22:42.400 is you know fedex is going to be fine amazon is doing great uh all of these big huge businesses are doing

00:22:49.400 fine but anyone with brick and mortar anyone who is on a small level uh are they are they going to

00:22:58.760 is there anything that is you know coming for real significant relief for like that even that woman who

00:23:07.860 owns those apartment buildings she's not rich but i can guarantee you she's not going to be eligible for

00:23:13.820 the 1200 check um and who's helping her who's helping the people who are trying to make the the basic

00:23:24.240 payment on their building on their equipment uh and just can't do it until the engines turned on again

00:23:31.860 because they didn't turn it off the united states government told them to turn it off

00:23:36.080 nobody nobody's helping those people right now and they're facing real you know hardship and and uh

00:23:44.960 you know this woman i talked to said well she thinks she can get through the next few months

00:23:48.500 you know but what if people don't start paying their rent you know it's one thing for if they

00:23:52.440 don't pay their merchant rent maybe not their april month uh rent and maybe even not their may rent but

00:23:58.480 then you go past that there's no revenues again this is the oxygen supply of any business so uh yeah i do

00:24:05.760 think we can we can get this thing going again and we got a great leader of trump on the economy we

00:24:10.060 one of here i'll give you one example one of the things i'm in favor of i mentioned the payroll tax

00:24:14.340 suspension for the rest of the year how about this why don't we put a suspension a blanket immunity

00:24:18.880 from lawsuits for every business in america for the next year so that when they put people back to

00:24:24.580 work because i've talked to employers saying i'm afraid to bring our i want to bring my employers

00:24:27.800 that boys back to work but i'm afraid of lawsuits if they get sick so why don't we have a blanket

00:24:32.580 immunity so that you know let's say you employ me glad and i assign the back that says i'm willing

00:24:37.340 to go back and you say i'm willing to hire you uh but there's no lawsuits and you know in case i do

00:24:42.100 get sick and that way you'll encourage we want to get and look the american people want to get back to 0.55

00:24:47.080 work we're all going crazy right right um the two trillion dollar in infrastructure bill phase four

00:24:56.440 uh of this donald trump is saying um he's saying you know the interest rates are at zero so now is

00:25:03.460 the time to to borrow uh and so we're going to we're going to borrow two trillion dollars uh i think

00:25:09.940 that number is kind of going to go up but that's a stunning stunning number to come out with to start

00:25:16.440 the negotiations with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer um is is that because the president is seeing

00:25:24.500 the future and knows that we he needs to get ahead of this because the news is going to be shocking

00:25:32.860 uh i don't i don't know his motivation uh i find my you know i worked for the trump during the

00:25:41.020 campaign i've worked with him uh you know as an informal advisor and he i find when it comes to

00:25:47.040 the economy not always but most of the time makes very wise decisions uh you know look the problem

00:25:54.120 with this infrastructure thing and there's something to what trump is saying is if the people are going

00:25:57.580 to lend us money for free now is not a bad time for the government to be borrowing although we've

00:26:01.120 been doing a hell of a lot of it already uh but you know that the problem with this issue of

00:26:06.200 infrastructure is when you and i say infrastructure and the left says infrastructure we're talking

00:26:10.140 completely past each other so what i want to see in this country yeah we should fix the roads we

00:26:15.000 should fix our highways we should modernize our airports and our ports and we need pipelines in

00:26:19.960 this country so we can get all the oil and gas to the markets that we need to so we could be

00:26:24.100 exporting this stuff at a faster pace that's not what the left is talking about they want energy

00:26:29.800 subsidies they want public transit projects they want uh you know things of that nature that don't

00:26:34.780 really add much and they of course the union wages for all of these you know jobs that require

00:26:40.360 you know 30 40 percent higher costs of the projects so i you know i i worry that this becomes

00:26:46.020 you know uh pardon the pun but a lot of train of spending that doesn't really accomplish much

00:26:51.560 steven um are you in texas are you in texas i am in texas so i'll give you an example so in texas

00:27:02.880 you build your cost of building a mile of road is about one half the cost of what it is in california

00:27:09.800 in new york think about that right you know you know why because you're efficient you don't have

00:27:15.400 all these crazy you know union work rules regulations so on so if we build the infrastructure

00:27:21.000 let's do it the way texas does and not the way new york does it correct correct let me ask you while

00:27:27.840 we're on texas the oil situation is it possible for the president to tell refineries no more foreign

00:27:36.800 oil for the next 60 days just to keep our energy independence is there thought about that well i'm

00:27:43.220 afraid these oil companies and the shale and everything else they're just they're not coming

00:27:47.620 back we're going to set ourselves back 50 years gosh this is the toughest question you could ask me

00:27:55.300 i've been this is keeping me up at night too about what do we do and some of my best friends in the

00:27:59.340 world my friend harold ham and uh uh oklahoma city who really was the kind of inventor of all

00:28:05.600 fracking process and the horizontal drilling and you know uh the back and shale there that became one

00:28:10.580 of the biggest oil fields in the in the world uh and they're just shutting east side that were

00:28:15.020 shutting just just about everything down and you're there in texas you're seeing it and uh you know

00:28:20.080 the price is as low as it's been in 40 years and yeah we may see a oil price go below 15

00:28:26.620 dollars a barrel which would be you know then you're talking about uh every virtually every uh

00:28:33.240 well in america closing down i i first of all if we're going to do something like that to keep out

00:28:39.380 the foreign oil then what we ought to do is not just basically have a 25 barrel uh import fee

00:28:45.300 right and we could use that money to pay for the infrastructure so yeah you know if the saudis and

00:28:50.340 and the russians want to keep cutting the price to cut off you know to cut off the knees of our 0.62

00:28:55.240 producers let's put let's slap them with a huge import fee and why not use that money to help

00:28:59.680 people here and by the way that would raise the price for our domestic producers right i would just

00:29:06.100 i would just hate to see us lose our energy independence uh that to me is that was a huge

00:29:12.920 accomplishment and uh not even not even foreseeable when we were we were talking uh you know under

00:29:19.360 barack obama they had done everything they could to destroy it and i'd like to see that that continue

00:29:25.240 i'm with you steven with you i mean this was one of the great advances of our decades was the fact

00:29:29.980 that we were the number one oil gas producer in the world uh so we got to keep it up and running

00:29:35.120 thank you so much steven we'll talk again

00:32:25.380 now all right stew yes let's look at let's start with what what do the numbers show us where people

00:32:33.480 think uh how many people are going to be dead what people think this is actually going to look like

00:32:41.620 and then let's compare them to what the experts are predicting yeah i love to i'm looking for the

00:32:48.420 average person yeah i'd love to get your thoughts on this pat too because it's it's uh pat gray joins

00:32:52.780 us from pat gray unleashed um you know it's one of these things where this has moved really fast

00:32:56.760 right like you look at this is um march 11th okay that's in march three weeks ago so the uh they asked

00:33:05.860 if you had to guess how many people do you think will die in the united states because of coronavirus

00:33:09.780 over the next year okay um 18 of people said less than 100 people this is less than 100 less than

00:33:18.960 100 oh wow okay this is as of may uh march 11th um more than three weeks ago yeah three weeks ago

00:33:25.460 more than 100 but less than a thousand okay was 37 so half of the people in the united states believed

00:33:33.040 less than a thousand deaths i'll remind you we're at four thousand now okay so they've already we've

00:33:38.320 obviously exceeded that by quite a bit in the three weeks um more than a thousand but less than ten

00:33:43.480 thousand okay that was another 32 so you're at 87 percent of people who believed it was going to be

00:33:52.160 less than ten thousand there's almost no chance it's going to be less than ten thousand we should hit

00:33:56.960 ten thousand next week with this the way it's going oh i bet we hit it earlier than that don't you

00:34:01.600 think uh maybe i would think we're doubling yeah we did almost a thousand deaths yesterday

00:34:06.580 almost a thousand deaths yesterday yesterday was the second highest total of any country during the

00:34:13.900 entire coronavirus uh scare with the except i mean you can't count china which is obviously lying about 1.00

00:34:19.320 their numbers i would expect they probably had bigger days than this but there was one day in italy

00:34:23.380 that was higher than our yesterday so i mean like it is you know it is we're not even at the peak yet

00:34:28.760 we're not even at the peak no as trump talked about yesterday that they believe the peak's going

00:34:33.440 to be in a couple weeks um where it could be multiple thousands per day um so uh and only 12

00:34:38.780 percent of the people only 12 believed it would be over 10 000 dead in the next year they redid the

00:34:44.120 exact same poll uh in march 26 and it's revealing that the poll on march 11th the highest answer you

00:34:50.840 could give was over 10 000 so they didn't have a category above that they had to add that when they

00:34:56.340 asked the poll again um so they asked again which this is just at some point humorous um less than

00:35:02.780 100 5 still thought it would be less than 100 now at this point there we were way beyond already

00:35:08.260 another 19 thought it would be less than a thousand and again we were beyond that a thousand as well on

00:35:14.540 may march 26 uh 46 still believed it would stay below 10 000 uh again i don't think that's going to

00:35:21.900 happen um and 30 31 said it would be more than 10 000 dead in the next year so they broke out that

00:35:27.640 category and said okay if you believe it's more if you're in that 31 you believe it's more than 10

00:35:31.960 000 what do you think it will be will it be more than or less than a hundred thousand a third of

00:35:37.480 people believe that so about 10 of the total populace about 15 of the total populace believed

00:35:43.820 between a hundred thousand and a million and the rest was more than a million so again i you know i

00:35:50.280 i don't think it's going to get that high but still that is uh you realize how fast this comes

00:35:54.720 we were at a point where half the country was like oh less than a thousand deaths three weeks ago and

00:35:59.860 now we're at four thousand and i and a lot of times i think this moves just at the pace where it doesn't

00:36:06.660 seem shocking to you on a day-to-day basis but when you look at it over a multiple week basis you're

00:36:11.540 like holy crap this is moving quickly um so that is it is scary so what are the real because first of all

00:36:17.920 i think we're gonna hit between a hundred thousand and a million i think a million is a long shot but

00:36:23.180 i think we're we hit between a hundred thousand and a million yeah a million would be a year no model

00:36:28.620 predicts a million unless we do nothing yeah like they all right you know there are a lot of models

00:36:33.880 that will say that if we basically just kind of go free for all and and and enough and no good

00:36:39.240 news comes there's no treatment that pops up or anything like that uh pat what's your number

00:36:43.780 i i mean i less than a hundred a hundred thousand or a hundred people um no a hundred thousand i i i

00:36:56.500 think around a hundred thousand okay damn that's it yeah that's still a lot yeah that's a lot that's

00:37:01.820 a lot that's a lot now fauci says between a flu between a hundred and two hundred and forty

00:37:05.740 thousand yeah and that's based on the imperial college model which is uh the one that also predicted

00:37:11.560 up to 2.2 million if we did nothing yeah um so what is the seattle model what is the one that's

00:37:17.580 coming out of washington state yeah university of washington has one that i think has been more

00:37:21.280 reserved and also updates every day unlike the imperial college model which they did this one i

00:37:26.440 think is interesting um they predict the total death count to be 93,765 now it's interesting because

00:37:34.900 they updated every day with new information um the yesterday they were predicting 83,000

00:37:40.760 so in one day they've upped it by 10,000 which i would say is not a good sign no now that's their

00:37:46.320 best guess uh the high end and low end is about 40,000 to about 175 i would say uh is their estimate

00:37:57.920 and they're that's an interesting one because they they really do go and give they give state by state

00:38:02.420 estimates as to when they think the peak of each state will hit um we can i'll tweet this out uh at

00:38:07.520 stew does america if you want to uh kind of go through it and and nerd out on the data as well

00:38:11.840 um but at least kind of gives us a sense and this is why you see trump you know i mean dead serious

00:38:17.360 yesterday talking about hey the next couple weeks are going to be awful prepare yourself for it mentally

00:38:22.840 um and of course obviously physically by not uh you know so when is the peak our our governor

00:38:29.420 yesterday uh here in texas came out and said schools are not going to return uh until may uh

00:38:37.360 we're closing everything down until may uh and what is it may 15th do you guys know i mean when is when

00:38:47.440 is it supposed to hit and peak in texas because it's it's not really i mean it's here a couple of

00:38:54.960 people in my in my town we have a small town of about 900 people there's two people that i heard

00:39:00.000 of just last weekend so there's got to be more now but two in my town that have it um when is it

00:39:06.300 supposed to peak here uh in in early may uh according to the models uh according to this

00:39:12.380 university of washington model may 7th would be a texas peak it's interesting to note that washington

00:39:17.780 seems to be on the decline already they went through a really bad time and and it looked like they

00:39:23.680 were going to be the the state that was out of control but new york took that from them and so

00:39:27.100 did new jersey but um their their numbers are actually starting to decline now so and that's

00:39:33.540 a good sign yeah it is how's california california you're saying what peak date for california yeah

00:39:41.100 what peak and i'd like to know chicago too i mean we haven't heard much about chicago yeah well

00:39:46.880 first of all chicago actually not a state uh it's a city i mean well in the united states illinois sorry

00:39:51.700 i know i know uh april 29th uh for california was it would be or actually it looks like may

00:39:57.500 may 2nd maybe is uh the california peak again these are all approximations they change every day

00:40:02.260 give you an idea illinois is a little earlier than that um april 20th um so but you could see like

00:40:10.920 there's massive still bars of error here and and as dr fauci talked about yesterday trump has echoed

00:40:17.420 this as well we hope to do a lot better than this right this is but this is with all of the social

00:40:22.660 distancing stuff that we're doing this does not include if we all kind of give up on it if we give

00:40:27.140 up on it all their numbers get uglier whether you believe well if we give up on it now i mean we've

00:40:31.540 already done the damage man let's not let's not pull out of this thing too early you know what i

00:40:37.140 mean let's let's there i think that there's a chance that we come roaring back uh with all the

00:40:43.720 pent up everything uh there's a chance that we just come roaring back because we'll want to go

00:40:49.400 out and do things we'll want to go out and shop and spend money and go to restaurants so uh you know

00:40:56.460 as soon as this thing comes back if there is a clear kind of cut ending to it uh it will really help

00:41:03.420 the uh economy and there are some positive things that are the um there for instance there's a new

00:41:10.000 study by the medical journal the lancet it infectious diseases which i usually wait for

00:41:15.720 the swimsuit edition but i got this a little bit early yeah yeah really the lancet infectious

00:41:20.580 diseases swimsuit edition is unreal unbelievable almost too got explicit too hot when they did

00:41:27.480 the swimsuit edition on leprosy right remember that gosh it was good leopard prince on fire

00:41:34.480 uh yeah but they it's great they've done a study and they found this the mortality rates have been

00:41:41.160 overstated is what they're saying they said that the mortality rate right now looks like it's going

00:41:46.800 to wind up to be about 0.66 percent yeah which is really promising oh wait wait did you hear cnn talk

00:41:55.100 about this i don't know cnn reported on this yeah and cnn they did all kinds of stuff about how

00:42:01.520 the mortality rate is too high and it's going to come in way under uh one percent blah blah blah

00:42:08.380 see i was i the only one that was screaming going wait a minute you guys were just saying that the

00:42:15.760 president how dare the president say that when he came out and said it will be under one percent 0.99

00:42:21.860 i i did a whole show on that uh on that stupid because they were all bashing him at the same time 0.98

00:42:26.900 is when the world health organization announced it was 3.4 percent worldwide but we any every expert 0.97

00:42:32.420 was aligned saying it was not going to be 3.4 percent at the most about one percent is where

00:42:38.120 they thought it would wind up so 0.66 is great i think there's a good chance it gets even lower than

00:42:41.980 that um at the when it comes to the end of this i think there's a chance that even that's high

00:42:46.520 i gotta give you i gotta give you this last story too i mean you just want to talk about the press

00:42:51.800 and i mean watch tonight's show it's just agonizing when i try this one on here's the here's the new

00:42:58.760 york times uh this is from uh monday new york times headline more americans probably should wear masks

00:43:06.420 for protection they were just telling us we told you no why would they be saying they need them for

00:43:17.060 the hospital if they do no good of course you should be wearing a mask they're trying to make

00:43:22.260 sure that they have enough for the hospitals instead of saying that they just kept saying

00:43:27.600 they're no good people won't they won't it's no not effective at all now they're coming out and

00:43:33.500 telling you you know what maybe you should wear masks we all should have been wearing masks that's

00:43:39.040 unbelievable that that that isn't that's disgraceful though you look you can say i think the american

00:43:44.340 people would say look we're not going to hoard masks you know like we of course want the health

00:43:49.380 workers to have them first but i mean to tell us that they're not effective and then say that they

00:43:54.520 are just a little bit later on is disgraceful you can't do that well to say they're not effective at 1.00

00:43:59.980 the same time you're saying we need them for the hospitals hello gosh they just think we're just idiots 1.00
