Another day in apocalypse land as we deal with the coronavirus. Cash hoarding? It's a big problem. Are you taking your money out of your bank? That could be labeled as cash hoarding if you don't watch it. And we're now having people across the country who are calling 911 because they're out of toilet paper. Not really advisable, but you may want to know about that story. Also, Thomas Massey, the representative, is joining us to talk about not only what's going on, but also what happens after this. Because if we have a big situation where we give up power and we're giving up power to the government, how does that play out later on? And Daniel Horowitz is watching all the money they're spending and all the new stimulus programs that we're about to get hit with.
00:00:00.180Welcome to the podcast. Another day in apocalypse land as we deal with the coronavirus.
00:00:06.160Are you cash hoarding? It's a big problem. Are you taking your money out of your bank?
00:00:11.160That could be limited. That could be labeled as cash hoarding if you don't watch it.
00:00:16.600And we're now having people across the country who are calling 911 because they're out of toilet paper.
00:00:22.980Not really advisable, but you may want to know about that story.
00:00:27.460Also, Thomas Massey, the representative, is joining us, talking to us about not only what's going on with coronavirus, but also the FISA authorization and what happens after this.
00:00:37.120Because if we have a big situation where we're giving up power and we're giving up power to the government, how does that play out later on?
00:00:44.600And Daniel Horowitz is watching all the money they're spending and all the new stimulus programs that we're about to get hit with.
00:00:51.760It is a it's one of those things where we're looking at a current crisis going on now and we're setting the ground for another crisis once this one is over.
00:01:00.760We look at both sides of that. You can also watch Glenn's special tonight.
00:01:05.060It's on coronavirus. What do you need to know? You can any question that you have, you can hashtag GB just the facts, hashtag GB just the facts to get your answer.
00:01:15.480Your question answered on their coronavirus special tonight. That is at 9 p.m. Eastern.
00:01:20.900And an hour before that, you can get the show with me, Stu Does America, in which we're going to we've got a little news of the New York Times that we've discovered.
00:01:29.300We're going to get into that, which is an amazing piece of hypocrisy.

00:03:01.560Six percent of active cases are now considered serious, requiring hospitalization.
00:03:06.000That's steady from six percent yesterday, but down from 19 percent just three weeks ago.
00:03:11.840The U.S. now has six thousand five hundred and twenty four confirmed cases and one hundred and sixteen deaths.
00:03:18.060That's up from forty seven hundred cases just yesterday and ninety three deaths just yesterday.
00:03:25.540The U.S. now all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. and four U.S. territories have at least one confirmed case.
00:03:33.800West Virginia was the lone holdout and they got a confirmed case yesterday.
00:03:38.580Doctors are now urging younger patients.
00:03:40.680COVID-19 causes permanent lung damage to all survivors.
00:03:45.720Doctors in Belgium treated several younger victims here recently.
00:03:49.460They took a CAT scan and realized they are suffering from severe lung damage.
00:03:56.040This validates or seems to validate a report out of Hong Kong and Korea that even the younger victims who recover from COVID-19 may have permanent lung damage due to the scarring of the lung tissue.
00:04:08.280Twenty percent permanent loss in lung function.
00:04:11.660That's huge, especially if you're in 20s and you're going to lose 20 percent lung function when you're 20.
00:04:48.400The president pressed Secretary Steve Mnuchin to give checks to a thousand dollars per person per month to all Americans starting in two weeks.
00:05:00.700And when I say all Americans, all Americans except millionaires.
00:05:04.560The thousand dollars per month stimulus would cost two hundred and ten billion dollars every month.
00:05:10.780There are 209 million American adults over the age of 18 millionaires do not receive this money.
00:05:17.980If you're bored during the COVID-19 quarantine, Dr.
00:05:29.860hospital ships have been have been activated.
00:05:32.640Now, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper confirmed that two hospital ships have been activated, will be anchored off the east and west coast of the U.S.
00:05:51.840I think what the what they're doing with that is they're putting the people who are in the hospitals for other reasons on the ship for other reasons.
00:05:59.000So they can clear out the actual hospitals for the covid patients.
00:06:01.940It's a theory, but I don't think there's going to be any because the military on right military doesn't have they don't they're not prepared to deal with this.
00:06:13.380And so I think all the trauma is going on to those ships.
00:06:16.220But once one person gets it on one of those ships, I mean, they're going to be traveling around looking for a port to come in, you know, without without Steve and Edie Gourmet doing the, you know, doing the entertainment.
00:06:29.920Um, type a blood may be more likely to catch covid-19 people with type a blood.
00:06:37.200Do you know what kind of blood you have?
00:06:42.800I don't really know off the top of my head.
00:06:45.300Those with type O also are at risk, obviously, but type a significantly more likely to catch this according to China.
00:06:56.120A study in Wuhan, the epicenter of disease, also found with type blood a type a blood.
00:07:02.420There's you're more likely to die from covid-19 with no clear indication on why that may be true.
00:07:09.980Covid-19 now may be cured by an existing antiviral drug cocktail doctors in Queensland Center for clinical research.
00:07:19.120That's in Australia, pressing Australian authorities to grant him leave to begin human clinical trials.
00:07:26.480By the end of the month, Professor Patterson, who is an infectious disease physician at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, said it's not a stretch to label the drugs a treatment or a cure.
00:07:37.420He says it's potentially a very effective treatment.
00:07:40.920The doctor did warn that even if the antiviral drugs prove to be effective, it may take months to get the studies through the human clinical trials.
00:08:00.000And wasn't that the Will Smith movie, the Omega Man thing?
00:08:05.600Didn't it wasn't that a when they were trying to fight a virus and then they came up with a vaccine and it was turning people into vampires or something like that.
00:08:15.020I mean, I just don't want to be a vampire.
00:08:16.920Stu, of all the I will promise to kill you if you turn into a zombie, I'll shoot you in the head.
00:09:27.960Well, I think they blew up as like Amazon's not going to be shipping anything anymore to houses.
00:09:35.300But I think it's just if you're a third-party seller, Amazon stores your things at their warehouses to send out, and they're not going to be doing that anymore.
00:10:51.040What kind of moron would be wearing a mask?
00:10:52.960And then yesterday they were like, oh, yeah, by the way, you should definitely be wearing masks if you go out in public.
00:10:56.820Like, could we just could we just could we just go through some of this here on the because the whole mass thing really kind of pisses me off because they do make a huge difference.
00:13:51.040Now it says, we went from donning and doffing gowns only in patient rooms to being told we can wear the same gown in two positive corona patient rooms.
00:20:24.100You know, these are some of the things that we could do.
00:20:26.260It's almost like you should get a birth certificate once you've been through this virus, if it is the case that you have a natural immunity.
00:20:33.760But we need a test to show whether you have those antibodies in your system because that's important to coming back out of this.
00:20:40.140Here's my question to every government official that's turned something off, right, whether they turned off our whole restaurant industry like they did here in Kentucky.
00:20:49.900The question is, what model were you using?
00:21:12.660And, Thomas, I have been trying to find the tripwires that our governments are using because I'm in business and I'd like to know what their tripwires are.
00:21:23.360You know, how do you know when to take it to the next level?
00:21:27.000How do you know what are the metrics on this?
00:22:37.000And here's what we're going to do to bound that worst case.
00:22:41.540So, Thomas, here's the thing that, you know, they're talking about.
00:22:45.540Every bill that's going through right now is said, you know, until the end of this emergency.
00:22:50.200Well, there are national emergencies declared by Jimmy Carter that are still in effect.
00:22:55.500So when is the end of this so-called emergency?
00:22:59.620And I do believe it's an emergency, but we are we by our steps, we may be saving lives, but we also by our steps are destroying our economy.
00:23:11.620And I think that thing's going to last for a very long time.
00:23:15.180I think we're easily headed for a depression if we don't pull up and this doesn't end pretty soon.
00:23:21.740So when we're looking at things, how hard would it be to get the Congress and the Senate and the White House to think in the opposite direction?
00:23:33.560Give money to those who have lost their jobs.
00:23:38.940Just open up the gates so anybody doesn't have a job, they can go get that assistance so they don't lose their house or they can pay their rent and whatever.
00:23:46.840But for everybody else, I think we have to structure everything instead of the government giving us stuff.
00:23:55.380The government has to stop taking things.
00:23:58.320So, in other words, let's say no taxes for the next eight months.
00:24:36.020And at first I thought, well, when the state workers don't get paid and they show up at the capitals, at the state capitals, because the tax revenue isn't there from the restaurant workers or whatever businesses were shut down.
00:24:48.980I thought, that's when they'll turn it back on.
00:24:51.180But then I went back to D.C. and I looked in the eyes of my colleagues.
00:24:54.960And what I realized is that they're ready to bail out anything, airlines, state governments, individuals, they're ready to bail it all out.
00:25:04.620This may be the thing that breaks our monetary system.
00:25:30.240Could we survive a 10% drop in food production?
00:25:34.220Because I've got local seed stores, a seed store.
00:25:38.680They sell fertilized and seed right now to the farmers that are planting their fields here in the next few weeks.
00:25:44.220If they shut down, that's going to have a tremendous ripple effect, not just in the GDP, but in our ability to feed folks.
00:25:53.320So the question that I think our politicians aren't answering, and the epidemiologists, okay, they're doing a great job of modeling what could happen in which scenarios.
00:26:04.960Their models don't take into account what if the trash doesn't get picked up and rats start roaming, you know, places in large numbers.
00:26:13.780Well, I think, Tom, I just, I read that trash collection is part of essential services.
00:26:21.860There are some things that are not closed, and then most of them have to do with sanitary and food production.
00:26:30.440Yeah, well, look, when they shut down the restaurants here in Kentucky, guess what?
00:26:34.640They also shut down about 70% of the restrooms that the public uses.
00:26:42.700I watched a guy with a service dog try to get into an Arby's, and the door was locked.
00:26:49.220And, look, I've been to countries, large countries, and I don't want to be called xenophobic, so I'm not going to tell you which countries.
00:26:56.280But I've seen humans defecate in the streets, and diseases run rampant there.
00:27:01.760And so, you know, I don't think our governor intended to shut down all these restrooms, but he shut down restrooms.
00:27:08.800I don't know what, where, I don't know where that individual who was trying to get into Arby's, by the way, he didn't go stand in line at the drive-thru.
00:30:16.780An honor student at the University of Nevada, Reno.
00:30:20.420Created something after her mom mentioned that she should call all of the elderly neighbors to see if they needed anything during the pandemic.
00:30:28.800So, Jade Powell decided, yeah, we can do something.
00:30:33.900So, she started a GoFundMe page now because this has just taken, really taken off.
00:30:40.580By the way, I just got a note about the earthquake in Utah.
00:30:45.000Please, if you experienced that, I'd like to hear from you.
00:31:33.960We have had interest in starting local branches of Shopping Angels in all four corners of the country.
00:31:42.520Literally, Washington, Maine, Florida, or just a few of the states.
00:31:45.800We have somebody in Hawaii starting stuff.
00:31:50.580We've got interest in Canada and even New Zealand.
00:31:53.880So, it's been really, really overwhelming, but awesome to see how the communities have come together to try and make something for the community that is most at risk for getting sick because of the outbreak.
00:32:09.940Okay, so now what do you do exactly if, let's say, you want to volunteer?
00:32:45.720And they will go to the store and try to pick up the items that are on this list.
00:32:50.500And then they purchase them at first out of pocket, and then they go and meet up with the client outside of their home.
00:32:58.060And then the client just pays for the groceries themselves.
00:33:00.760They don't pay for any delivery fees or any, you know, they don't pay for the time that we spend going to different stores or anything like that.
00:34:41.660We're still trying to get every state a coordinator.
00:34:44.220But the state coordinator will then reach out to you in regards to trying to find a volunteer to pick up your order or try to help you out.
