00:00:00.000
Hello, America. Welcome to the program. I've got good news for you. Hard times made us and you'll
00:00:06.220
understand what I mean by that. By the end of the program today, you don't want to miss a single
00:00:10.760
second. A lot of really good things are happening. You know, the media is still behaving the way the
00:00:16.900
media is. Everything is Donald Trump's fault. Donald Trump can do no good. We have some
00:00:20.860
political news for you on that. But I really want to start with some some good things. I also
00:00:27.040
would like to tell you just after one day of my children complaining and whining. There's not
00:00:35.000
enough alcohol in the world that you have. You would possibly get at your house to survive.
00:00:41.580
Not the covid-19 virus, just your children for the next. I'm going to be honest with you. Eight
00:00:48.140
weeks. We begin with some good news. Not that in one minute.
00:00:54.880
You know, it seems as though we might be spending more time at home for a little while.
00:01:06.120
You can't do anything about the level of violent mayhem that may be taking place
00:01:12.960
but your business. Can you do anything about that? Let me offer you a suggestion is how you can make
00:01:19.800
sure you are safe from criminals trying to break into your house while you're busy trying to survive
00:01:24.100
being around your kids over the next few weeks. It's simply safe. It is the first name in home
00:01:30.380

00:02:24.500
safe back.com. Well, I want to talk to you a little bit about the technology
00:02:37.440
of disaster. Technology of disaster. Technology of disaster. Second only to China, where the COVID-19
00:02:47.780
originated. Yesterday, we had a record-breaking number of deaths. Yesterday, we had a record-breaking
00:03:07.440
number of deaths, and it was quite interesting to watch. It was a day where China had only
00:03:21.000
about a hundred and, what was it, 150, Stu, that had died? The worst day for China, any individual
00:03:30.280
day was 150 deaths, yes. Now, tell me, tell me what happened yesterday in Italy. On Sunday,
00:03:43.840
yep, last two days in Italy, 368 died in Italy. Obviously, a much smaller country. We don't need
00:03:50.140
to note that, but that's a pretty significant number. And then yesterday was 349. So, the two
00:03:56.920
highest days of any country were Italy the last two days. That makes the death toll in Italy 2,138
00:04:06.620
since February 20th, when a 38-year-old man just checked himself into the hospital and tested positive
00:04:12.400
for the virus. Now, I want to talk to you here about the northern Lombardi region of Italy. It's
00:04:17.900
taken the brunt of the damage, and it's starting really to show. Makeshift triage units have popped
00:04:23.940
up tents full of tired doctors clad in full-body hazmat suits, including the bright green sacks
00:04:30.540
that cover their shoes and the hoods and the eye gear. Hospitals are overrun. Things are being
00:04:36.920
rationed now. They have to choose who gets this, a 45-year-old man or an 80-year-old man. It's the
00:04:47.980
the outbreak has put hospitals under a stress that we have not seen since the Second World War.
00:04:54.800
War. War. It's a word that we're hearing now when we're seeing the spread of COVID-19 through Italy.
00:05:01.920
War. And for a good reason. On Thursday, a group of healthcare specialists released guidelines for
00:05:07.880
dealing with COVID-19 with what they called catastrophe medicine. Catastrophe medicine.
00:05:17.080
I want to give you a quote. In context of grave shortage of health resources, the guidelines say
00:05:22.340
intensive care should be given to patients with the best chances of success and the best hope for life
00:05:28.720
should be prioritized. And that, quote, in the interest of maximizing benefits for the largest number,
00:05:36.100
limits could be put on intensive care units to reserve scarce resources for those who have, first,
00:05:42.320
a greater likelihood of survival, and secondly, who have more potential years of life.
00:05:47.680
We are in the death panel, except there's no panel. It's just the person at triage.
00:05:54.740
Yesterday, in a hospital, a city in northern Italy, about 200,000 people, they ran out of ICU valves.
00:06:03.060
Now, this is the closed system, the stopcock-like lever that allows nurses to control the flow of blood
00:06:10.100
or medicine, or in some cases, the contents of feeding tubes.
00:06:14.280
If you don't have those ICU valves, hospitals are far more dangerous for everybody.
00:06:21.000
They're part of the sterilization process, and attempting to run a medical facility without these
00:06:26.880
is kind of like, you know, driving a car without any kind of springs or shocks.
00:06:41.760
science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease.
00:06:50.180
But the technologies that arise are going to be unexpected, as they always have been the case,
00:06:57.180
if we keep our wits about us, and we care to look.
00:07:07.540
Can we just spend a minute and look at what miracles are happening?
00:07:12.420
Because that's what I want to do for the next few minutes.
00:07:14.560
Elon Musk said, if anyone thinks they'd rather be in a different part of history,
00:07:19.580
they're probably not a very good student of history.
00:07:25.220
People knew very little, and you were likely to die at a very young age of some horrible disease.
00:07:32.180
Let me go back to that hospital I was telling you about in northern Italy.
00:07:38.500
Somebody knew somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody.
00:07:55.660
And within hours, they had designed and produced new valves.
00:08:02.080
10 patients are accompanied in breathing by a machine that now uses one of these 3D printed valves.
00:08:09.080
Technology, an entrepreneur, somebody who just doesn't wait for somebody else.
00:08:15.380
They're not waiting for the government or bitching about the government.
00:08:22.900
Now, we're still fact-checking and investigating this story.
00:08:25.980
We received the tip through Twitter, and we'll update you as more details emerge.
00:08:30.120
But since we discovered the story, it's been confirmed by a reputable Italian newspaper,
00:08:36.900
La Stampa, who just gave us an update on the story.
00:08:41.000
The supplier of the ICU valves was upset with the hospital's decision to accept a 3D printed valve
00:08:47.160
and refused to provide any sort of blueprints or files.
00:08:52.600
The point I want to make here is about the power of technology.
00:08:57.300
This is also not just a rebuke of any sort of healthcare apparatus.
00:09:04.700
I'm not railing against the medical device industry.
00:09:12.180
What I want to talk to you about is an article we discovered from an academic journal out of Johns Hopkins.
00:09:17.580
The article was titled, Impact of Technology on the Emergence of Infectious Diseases.
00:09:28.580
Technological advances during this century have led to unparalleled improvements in comfort, productivity, and lifespan.
00:09:34.940
The impact of technology on the practice of medicine is among the most salutary changes that has occurred during the 20th century.
00:09:46.480
We didn't see ICU valves being needed because of COVID-19 and a pandemic, and it would be saved through a 3D printer.
00:09:58.580
In fact, an entire movement now we didn't see coming.
00:10:04.720
As I mentioned, we're still vetting this ongoing story, but Project Open Air, by all accounts, is a legitimate organization now that has been heralded by scientists and engineers and academics, including Scott Horton.
00:10:17.220
He's the director of the Libertarian Institute.
00:10:19.580
Five days ago, a 40-year-old Portuguese scientist studying neuroscience at Harvard took to Twitter and spread the word about Project Open Air.
00:10:29.700
It was just then comprised of a small group of Harvard scientists, and here's what he said.
00:10:35.720
We're working on medical devices such as open-source ventilators to have fast and easy solutions that can be reproduced and assembled locally worldwide.
00:10:51.700
In 24 hours, the group had assembled already 500 of the greatest specialists in the fields of engineering, medicine, institutions like MIT, Caltech, Stanford.
00:11:03.160
It's a week later now, and they have 2,500 people.
00:11:06.820
Their medium, slack, the application of the business world, a kind of mega-sized chat room for entire companies or groups.
00:11:15.460
We use it at Blaze Media and Mercury Radio Arts, another technical innovation that has unexpectedly advanced medicine.
00:11:31.840
Can we stop complaining about what we don't know?
00:11:43.760
You know, we were born at this time because, quite honestly, we're special souls.
00:11:48.600
We were born here with everything that we need and all the equipment we need to be able to take mankind into a more free state, into a better place.
00:12:01.640
And at the end of this chaos, after we have buried, hopefully, not too many of our friends or loved ones,
00:12:09.060
the coronavirus will have advanced technology by five years.
00:12:21.740
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors.
00:12:28.320
Together, let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.
00:12:36.880
Remember, as we trudge forward, as we spend the next few days and weeks confined in our homes, staring out at an increasingly motionless world,
00:12:49.740
remember that everything we do, nonetheless, is advancing man.
00:12:55.280
Man is either retreating or advancing, and Americans have always chosen to advance.
00:13:08.620
What do you do when you're in so much pain that you can't do the necessary things around the house?
00:13:27.940
In fact, you can't even sleep half of the time and half the night.
00:13:31.380
This is a situation that Dawn found herself in.
00:13:34.200
She had been a hairstylist for 25 years, and she developed this pain.
00:13:39.240
She was constantly dealing with the pain in her hands and her feet and her back.
00:13:42.540
She was desperate for anything to take the pain away, but she did not want to take hard drugs.
00:13:52.780
With, just in a couple of weeks, all of her pain, every bit of it, according to her,
00:14:02.540
She says she no longer has to take relief factor, but she does, because the more she takes as directed,
00:14:16.600
When taken properly, relief factor attacks the inflammation that causes much of our pain.
00:14:21.700
70% of those who go on to take it go on to buy more, and I will tell you something.
00:14:26.220
I've taken it, and then I've stopped taking it, because I was like, okay, I think I'm better now.
00:14:30.100
I stopped taking it, and I'm like, no, no, no, I'm not.
00:14:34.160
It's an amazing thing that you never feel in your body, and it's all natural.
00:14:39.460
It costs $19.95 to start the three-week quick start trial.
00:14:44.400
If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain, get your life back.
00:14:58.260
That's a different kind of pain, and that probably will require narcotics for you or some sort of Benadryl for them.
00:15:10.140
So Jade Powell is somebody else that we need to know.
00:15:24.600
She and her growing army of volunteers are providing free grocery delivery to the sick and the elderly.
00:15:32.380
This is something that I'm sending over to Mercury One.
00:15:35.340
I know Mercury One is preparing to do a lot of different things in this.
00:15:40.320
We really need to take care of the sick, the elderly.
00:15:45.560
I think, you know, widows and orphans come to mind.
00:15:49.180
But Jade decided to start something called Shopping Angel.
00:15:56.140
She got the idea to organize a few people during the pandemic.
00:15:59.740
Her mother mentioned, you know, call the elderly neighbors to see if they need anything.
00:16:03.760
She said, as a pre-med student, I know that people who are older and people who have heart, lung, or immune conditions are especially at risk for getting the virus.
00:16:16.420
So she started something called Shopping Angels.
00:16:19.480
And she had 20 members of her medical fraternity.
00:16:23.860
And she started going out and saying, hey, can we go grocery shopping for you?
00:16:30.260
She said, I woke up this morning to 20 voicemails, 56 emails.
00:16:36.360
We now have people in Connecticut, Long Island, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Arizona, people that want to volunteer.
00:16:48.900
Here she's she's connecting volunteers across the country with people that are in need through email, phone and Facebook.
00:16:58.420
Some clients give the angel a shopping list, budget, money to cover the purchase.
00:17:02.980
Other clients purchase their groceries online and the shopping angel.
00:17:08.140
If you want to help on this, find her shopping angel.
00:17:14.600
Also, she created a GoFundMe account for those who aren't able to afford the essentials that they might need.
00:17:21.980
You can just look on the on GoFundMe for shopping angels on the GoFundMe page.
00:17:31.060
It's a program designed to provide services for those populations deemed especially at risk.
00:17:37.200
60 plus those conditions that impair their immune function, especially vulnerable to contracting this virus, help ease the uncertainty, anxiety and fear surrounding this pandemic.
00:17:48.420
We're volunteering our time to physically go and pick up groceries and other shopping necessities for those who need to stay within the safety of their own home and do it without any additional cost.
00:18:05.260
The Dollar General store is saying that they're opening their stores, but please, unless you're a senior customer, don't come in on the first hour.
00:18:15.960
The first hour of the store opening, they'll clean everything.
00:18:21.340
They want to provide the at-risk customers the ability to purchase the items they need at the beginning of each day.
00:18:28.120
So it's not crowded and it's not busy and everybody there is the same age and hopefully they won't contract anything.
00:18:38.680
The retailer said they encourage their customers to plan their shopping trips around this window of time to allow the senior customers to shop first.
00:18:49.160
This is the kind of thing that we need to start doing.
00:18:55.020
I know there's lots of churches that are doing this now.
00:18:57.940
Gateway is one of the churches down the street here that is in Dallas, one of the big Dallas churches.
00:19:03.320
I know they're doing something where you can volunteer your time and basically be a shopping angel.
00:19:09.360
Have you organized anything for your church like that?
00:19:13.200
Are you, if you're going out, this is one of those things that's worth going out.
00:19:19.060
We are personally, we are put into our home and the family is staying put, which is, oh my gosh, great fun.
00:19:34.100
It is, I have, I have two teenagers who, uh, one just had to go to the bathroom, uh, several times yesterday during work, uh, because we were cleaning out the garage every day.
00:19:48.580
They don't know this yet, but every day mom and dad have a new project and it's about a two hour project, you know, not too hard.
00:19:55.960
Uh, cause there's more things coming like today, an hour of reading, uh, until school starts.
00:20:08.720
So we started that two hour project, which should have been actually about an hour and a half, maybe an hour and a half.
00:20:16.240
Uh, that took a mere four and a half hours yesterday because one teenager was constantly in the bathroom and the other one was,
00:20:26.900
I think I don't, I mean, could I have the Corona?
00:20:35.860
Look, I think if the Corona virus of what comes out of this is we're able to get out of a lot of housework.
00:20:43.360
Uh, I mean, there could be a couple on the side.
00:20:49.200
I mean, yeah, no, I don't think I told them, you know what, you know what beats the Corona virus when you have it and you're at home.
00:21:02.840
I'll take your temperature after you finish the garage.
00:21:06.860
I think one of the unspoken tragedies of Corona virus is I don't know how I deny doing things on my to-do list anymore because I'm home all the time and I no longer have any excuses.
00:21:25.820
If you're stocking up on food right now, I mean, might as well get some really, really good food right now.
00:21:31.800
You can get amazing deal for stock up items from Omaha steaks.
00:21:36.020
If you go to Omaha steaks dot com, enter the promo code back in the search bar, you're going to get 68 percent off their ultimate grillers package.
00:21:49.840
If you want to save money on food, if you want to be responsible, this is a great deal.
00:21:57.260
Here's what you get to butcher's cut filets, two top sirloins, four premium pork chops, four Omaha steak burgers, four gourmet jumbo franks, potatoes au gratin, caramel apple tartlets, Omaha steaks, signature seasoning packet.
00:22:11.900
And because you're going to use the promo code back, you're also going to get four more burgers and eight more franks for free.
00:22:36.760
I'm still doing episodes of Studos America every night.
00:22:51.100
The world is changing and it has very little to do with the coronavirus.
00:22:59.440
I'm so frustrated with people going, you know, that coronavirus, it's it's really not so bad.
00:23:13.740
And then you can spend the rest of your life going, see, I told you it wasn't so bad.
00:23:28.240
The second wave is the economic ramifications of this to let you know how bad that is.
00:23:35.020
And some things that the governments all around the world are doing that is really, really disturbing.
00:23:45.780
We know that they also did a troubled assets buyback, which troubled assets.
00:23:53.560
They did this without it going through Congress or anything else.
00:23:57.660
They decided that they were going to put a trillion dollars in buyback.
00:24:02.600
Now, remember, 750 is a billion, 750 billion dollars was the price tag of TARP.
00:24:11.400
But we fixed the banks so they wouldn't go through this again.
00:24:26.420
Then on top of that, they are bailing the banks out to the tune of about a trillion dollars.
00:24:33.940
Now they're giving that money for an extended period of time for three months.
00:24:42.560
They also yesterday said, by the way, no cash reserves are are needed anymore.
00:24:50.680
So if you go into your bank and the bank doesn't have any cash, don't worry.
00:24:58.120
That means they can they can loan as much money as they want.
00:25:01.320
They don't have to worry about any cash reserves.
00:25:03.620
Oh, now they've lost they've they've entered another seven hundred billion dollars in quantitative easing.
00:25:12.180
That means they're just going in and buying more stuff.
00:25:15.320
Another seven hundred billion dollars quantitative easing.
00:25:19.580
Now, on top of that, the president just released a new package.
00:25:25.900
Stu, how much is the what's the price tag on this one?
00:25:28.500
They're looking for eight hundred and fifty billion dollars in stimulus.
00:25:32.500
That's eight hundred and fifty billion dollars.
00:25:37.660
Schumer was asking for seven hundred and fifty billion.
00:25:40.420
And I would assume if Trump comes with eight fifty, Schumer will up that because I don't
00:25:49.560
I said yesterday was more than enough, but now it's not enough because Donald Trump's evil.
00:25:59.860
Fifty billion dollars for the airline industry, which is no surprise at all.
00:26:06.280
Another there's part of it that it looks like it's supposed to be part of the payroll
00:26:09.720
tax holiday, which we don't know the details of that yet.
00:26:15.200
But those are the only two big details left that we're going to have to bail out.
00:26:22.220
I wonder if that airline thing is part of Boeing.
00:26:25.980
Boeing is going to be bailed out because it's it makes a lot of defense.
00:26:32.860
Also, you're going to get a lot of, I believe, stuff related to travel.
00:26:36.900
I think the cruise industry will wind up getting a nice part of this.
00:26:45.560
If the government forces restaurants, bars, gyms, movie theaters to shut down, are they
00:26:52.240
responsible for the money lost by restaurants, bars, gyms and movie theaters?
00:26:58.780
I mean, every small business man across the country, are you going to have to bail them
00:27:03.480
See, largely, I think they will wind up doing a lot of that.
00:27:08.860
This is this is the one thing that is an act of God.
00:27:20.820
Romney, because Romney has said he what he'd like to do is send everybody a check for a
00:27:29.820
Well, that's you know, that sounds like basic income, minimum minimum income.
00:27:37.740
Andrew Yang was allowed to speak in every debate is what it sounds like.
00:27:44.740
We need to step up to the plate right now and tell Congress no matter what they pass,
00:27:54.700
You got to renew it every 30 days because you're going to get programs that you're never going
00:28:03.100
And they're going to pass them in the dead of night.
00:28:08.700
Stu, who's the who's the best on the blaze looking at these kinds of things?
00:28:14.740
Who's who's the best at watching Washington and all these things?
00:28:20.880
From conservative review, you're talking about.
00:28:25.420
He really breaks down the budget and looks at this stuff in great detail.
00:28:28.700
So can we can we enlist him, see if he can come on the show tomorrow, maybe and give
00:28:35.500
us a look at all of these things, because we really have to pay attention.
00:28:55.780
And you guys are, I think, on the same page as me on this in that like this is a serious
00:29:00.540
A lot of we've seen all around the world, the places that have had success are the ones
00:29:05.700
that have taken real action as early as possible.
00:29:09.200
So a lot of this stuff is, you know, as much as miserable as it's making all of us, it might
00:29:14.980
However, no matter what, after this, we have a serious fight on our hands to make sure the
00:29:21.260
government doesn't grab every bit of this power that they're taking.
00:29:23.900
Uh, we're going to have to, may I suggest, may I suggest, uh, the new book that comes
00:29:31.460
out in two weeks called arguing with socialists, because Stu, you're exactly right.
00:29:37.720
We have a massive problem on our hand at the end of this.
00:29:42.120
Cause it's, it's, you know, it's probably necessary to do right now.
00:29:47.740
Obviously the more it can be recommendations rather than government just doing this, I
00:29:53.540
So it's probably a good idea for all of us to respect it as much as we can.
00:29:57.940
Um, but watching this happen, I mean, you see, they're going to try to take massive swaths
00:30:03.920
of this newfound power and codify it with some sort of Patriot Act type of bill later
00:30:13.540
How about what they're doing to this, um, local Amazon businessman?
00:30:17.960
He's a, he sells things on Amazon, uh, Matt Colvin.
00:30:21.760
He went around, he, he had the foresight a couple of months ago to go around to all the
00:30:33.580
He bought over 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer.
00:30:38.800
The, uh, uh, Amazon and eBay shut him down completely cause they were hacked off that
00:30:44.860
he did that and you know, it's the right to do, you can't, you don't have a right to just
00:30:48.280
sell anything you want on their service on their platform.
00:30:51.280
But then the government found out about his 17,000 and they came and took them all.
00:31:00.200
They, one third of them they took and gave to Kentucky.
00:31:03.360
The attorney general just confiscated a third and gave them to the attorney general's office
00:31:09.360
And then the other two thirds, uh, were confiscated and given to a church who will distribute the
00:31:15.740
supplies to those, uh, who need the products across the state.
00:31:20.820
Yes, but they don't have the right to steal your stuff to take it.
00:31:26.700
It's another example of civil asset forfeiture.
00:31:29.920
So there was a, there was a story, uh, out about food hoarders, um, yesterday.
00:31:36.820
Do you guys see this watch for this language, food hoarders, because those, those are preppers
00:31:44.400
And so they don't, they don't have a right to that food.
00:31:49.980
I have a right to the food that I purchased for my family.
00:31:54.940
In fact, I followed the guidelines of the department of Homeland security.
00:32:03.520
This is what happened in Germany in the, in the early 1930s.
00:32:08.300
They started saying, these are people are hoarding.
00:32:11.160
Now there's a difference between, I want to take the hand sanitizers and buy them all
00:32:16.560
up and then sell them for four times the market value.
00:32:20.180
I have a hard time with sympathy for this person because you're just a bad, greedy person.
00:32:28.180
So I, I'm just saying, I wouldn't want you as my neighbor, um, you know, but it's legal.
00:32:36.520
As Pat said, you don't have a right to necessarily sell it at my store or anybody else's store,
00:32:41.800
but if you can get people to buy it and you can find somebody that's willing to partner
00:32:45.560
with you to sell it, you know, that's part of the deal with capitalism.
00:32:49.380
There is a problem with gouging people and going in and buying up everything else and
00:32:59.900
But there is also something called freedom and you have the right to do it.
00:33:05.560
Uh, I, I, I think there are laws against gouging though.
00:33:08.580
And there should, there should not be, there should not be, uh, you know, look, I, well,
00:33:14.880
Um, so, uh, back, that's what studios America is about tonight.
00:33:18.580
We're going to go into the positive case, the, the, the, in defense of price gouging.
00:33:22.160
But one of the things that price gouging does, and it's a wonderful thing, try to hoard supplies
00:33:28.200
when people are price gouging, quote unquote, I don't like the term, but when you're, if
00:33:33.020
you wanted to, uh, hoard hand sanitizer and it was expensive, you couldn't hoard it, right?
00:33:40.340
Because you'd only be able to buy the stuff that you needed because it was priced at a
00:33:46.540
So then actually distributed to people who actually needed it.
00:33:53.500
I, I had this conversation with my kids and they were asking me, what's the difference
00:33:57.780
between the free market, uh, and supply and demand and price gouging.
00:34:03.040
I said, the difference is if you, if there is a high demand and you're making it as fast
00:34:08.560
as you can, and you have to go into overtime and everything else to make it, you can raise
00:34:13.400
those prices going out and it's not illegal to do, but going out and just buying everything
00:34:25.540
It's like a monopoly and I'm going to control this market and I'm going to, uh, I'm going
00:34:32.360
You still can do it, but in the time of an emergency, it's not necessarily a good idea
00:34:40.060
It doesn't make you a good person, but it's different than a company who is already distributing
00:34:48.820
I have no problem with, with, you know, Exxon saying it's harder to get the oil or whatever.
00:34:54.980
This is a bad example today, but it's harder to get X, Y, and Z.
00:34:58.960
The, the employees getting them in, it's really hard to do.
00:35:10.680
And I would say, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
00:35:13.500
I don't think there's anything wrong with what this guy did.
00:35:17.960
And the other part is there actually is our laws against it, which is to me, crazy.
00:35:24.920
The, look, you, you, if you go out and you buy these things and you can sell them, then
00:35:32.380
The fact that he had 17,000 bags of hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes in his garage, or that people
00:35:39.840
could have actually purchased them and had them to use.
00:35:43.380
Not to mention, we should also point out that this is not a necessary product.
00:35:47.880
This is not at, it's actually not at all essential to what's going on.
00:36:03.440
It's criminal that they're going after this guy.
00:36:10.240
That all is happening on Studez America, which is a great show to watch with your kids just
00:36:19.440
Actually, I'm going to watch this tonight with my family tonight, Stu, because that's
00:36:25.500
And I found myself kind of in this tangled web where I'm like, well, I'm not sure because
00:36:35.100
You don't want to make any decisions based on what feels good.
00:36:42.280
You have to find the universal principle that is true tonight on Studez America.
00:36:52.100
It's live right before this on Blaze Radio Network, or you can find it wherever podcasts
00:37:04.540
As anyone who's owned a car for very long knows, the season doesn't really work for
00:37:12.100
It doesn't like, you know, changing from cold to hot and then from hot to cold, especially
00:37:18.960
Now, you could spend every day worrying about whatever that is that could go wrong with
00:37:27.780
Everybody has to be fiscally responsible right now.
00:37:32.320
Now, are you ready for a $1,000 or $3,000 or $5,000 repair?
00:37:39.060
The repairs or the replacement of chips now are as much as sometimes three times the price
00:37:48.160
All of the things that are covered in repair computers, GPS, electronics, a lot more.
00:37:53.380
They have customized monthly payments with rates as low as $99 a month.
00:38:00.760
You send it in, if it's covered, they pay for it, that you can send it to any mechanic
00:38:36.320
Stu, can you tell me what stocks stock market is doing?
00:38:45.800
Yeah, it did start to do that and there was a time in which there was a time when so very
00:38:53.400
It initially went up, uh, well, let's see about three, almost 400 points.
00:38:58.480
However, that's all been lost and now we're down, uh, almost 200 points.
00:39:04.660
Not suboptimal is how I would describe the start of today's market day, Glenn.
00:39:12.120
Somewhere below the perfect optimal outcome is what's happened.
00:39:19.580
You might want to look at optimal, uh, and raise that a little bit.
00:39:30.520
I prefer not to live the life of Jimmy Stewart.
00:39:39.760
I'd like to not have that the way of the way of American life.
00:40:01.800
That's an important number because according to the FBI, that is the average dollar loss
00:40:06.820
It can derail you financially, not to mention how creeped out you are.
00:40:16.980
They're the go-to guys for home security, at least for me and my family.
00:40:21.860
SimpliSafe protects every door, window, and room with 24-7 professional monitoring.
00:40:27.440
There's no contract, no hidden fees or fine print.
00:40:29.980
Plus, you can set this system up all by yourself.
00:40:37.660
It's won a ton of awards from CNET to PC Magazine to The Verge.
00:40:55.300
Normally, that camera's $100, but it's yours free today.
00:41:00.040
Let me talk to you about something the FBI calls the fastest-growing crime in the nation.
00:41:06.520
It's your home being stolen with your title being taken.
00:41:11.100
It's remarkable that this is actually something we have to worry about,
00:41:18.300
They can actually then sell your title or bring your title to the bank and say,
00:41:31.700
and then they come and try to repossess your home.
00:41:37.500
You may not even know that this has happened already.
00:41:42.680
A home title lock is the only one that is doing this.
00:41:48.080
Protect your home with home title lock like I do.
00:41:50.480
You could already be a victim of title fraud and not know it.

00:42:22.160
Hey, how much fun are you having with your kids?
00:42:29.500
They got up early, they were reading, and they did their homework, you know,
00:42:34.820
because they know they don't have school, but they want to keep studying anyway.
00:42:38.680
And then I said, hey, kids, let's clean out the garage.
00:42:43.060
And then at night, we just played a game around the table after dinner,
00:42:48.020
after they cleaned up after themselves and helped their mother and their dad all day.
00:42:59.200
But, hey, I'm here today to report to work, mainly to escape my children.
00:43:09.860
What do you say we bring in Dana Lash to the program in one minute?
00:43:28.020
Let me tell you a little bit about ZipRecruiter.
00:43:30.920
ZipRecruiter is the way for you to be able to hire people when you're hiring.
00:43:35.800
You know that Jeff Bezos is now hiring like a lot of people.
00:43:39.840
He is reminding me very much of my grandfather, who said the people who made money in the Great Depression didn't lose all their money in the stock market, had their money.
00:43:56.360
They will send your job to over 100 of the web's leading job sites, but they don't stop there.
00:44:02.900
They have powerful matching technology, and they will scan thousands of resumes to find people with the right experience.
00:44:12.260
You can even add questions for the candidates and focus on the best ones.
00:44:20.760
Four out of five employers who post there get a quality candidate within the first day.
00:44:24.680
And right now you can try ZipRecruiter for free.
00:44:27.360
That's ZipRecruiter.com, ZipRecruiter.com slash Beck.
00:44:32.020
The smartest way to hire is ZipRecruiter.com slash Beck.
00:44:51.780
Dana Lash, one of the founding members of the Blaze and Blaze TV, is joining us now.
00:44:57.060
She's got a new book out called Grace Cancelled, How Outrage is Destroying Our Lives, Ending Debate, and Endangering Democracy.
00:45:03.720
She should know a little bit about this, as she has probably received less grace than anybody in the media in quite some time.
00:45:24.700
Are you quarantined now, self-quarantined at home?
00:45:27.100
I am an introvert, so I am living in paradise right now, and I just look at it like I'm a
00:45:34.680
hobbit in my hobbit hole, and I am grateful that I have a home studio, and I'm able to
00:45:39.940
do everything from my house, so I'm living my life.
00:45:45.000
And you're going to church digitally and just kind of homeschooling the kids again?
00:46:02.080
My youngest, our kids kind of work at home stuff tomorrow, and I mean, I know that there
00:46:08.640
We're talking about your kids cleaning out the garage.
00:46:10.780
I know there are parents out there that are doing stuff with their kids, and that's awesome.
00:46:14.760
I mean, we don't even know what day it is right now because my schedule is all disrupted.
00:46:25.080
We've gone from Tanya driving the kids around to, you know, play practice and this, you know,
00:46:31.780
school and that event, and all the time, it's like she was a shuttle service and to do nothing.
00:46:41.660
Like, the kids are home, and it's like, well, who is this creature in the other room?
00:46:53.260
That things have stopped, and I kind of, I like that they're home, though.
00:46:57.480
My oldest went off to college for the, I mean, he's a college freshman.
00:47:01.540
He left this fall, this last fall, and so that was awful, and I'm actually, this sounds
00:47:07.820
really bad, but I'm actually kind of grateful for the time.
00:47:11.320
I feel like, you know, we get a little bit of extra time because I'm sure the world's
00:47:15.420
going to shift back into high gear here soon, but I'm, you know, I'm happy that we kind
00:47:20.660
I just, I, with all of the awfulness that's happening with this virus and everything, I
00:47:26.420
just, I feel like we're supposed to kind of take this time together and be a family
00:47:33.180
and do stuff, and we play, you know, we play all kinds of stuff.
00:47:36.740
We play games, and, you know, I do my stuff for the end of the day, and then we have the
00:47:42.120
We play hide-and-go-seek, except it's a new version.
00:47:54.120
So your book is about grace, which seems really timely, especially with, there's absolutely
00:48:03.580
There's no grace, especially extended to this president.
00:48:06.260
Everything he does, he's ahead of the rest of the world, and he'll get bashed for it,
00:48:12.560
and then, you know, when Europe, today, they're making all kinds of announcements that Europe
00:48:16.760
is closing all of the borders, and they're canceling all flights, and you can't, if you're
00:48:21.240
being called home, well, that's what he did, and he was called all kinds of names for it.
00:48:27.600
Now, when the rest of the world is doing it, they're brilliant.
00:48:36.940
Talk to me a little bit about grace in this time period.
00:48:41.260
No, and I think that's right, and it's not just grace that's kind of missing.
00:48:51.860
There's a cancellation of forgiveness and an outright refusal of redemption, and I mean,
00:48:57.840
I can't believe that we're even doing this during a pandemic.
00:49:01.000
I mean, that seems to me that that would be the time that you would exhibit the most grace
00:49:04.780
to your fellow man that you would try to do the best you could to be a good steward, and
00:49:09.300
instead, everybody's playing politics, and they're really worried about what communist
00:49:12.780
China thinks as it relates to their responsibility in spreading a pandemic.
00:49:19.340
When I started writing this book, there were a couple of things that contributed to the
00:49:23.500
The first thing was the way my kids reacted to the Parkland Town Hall, and then the second
00:49:26.740
thing was a Norm MacDonald interview, because he's my absolute favorite comedian of all
00:49:32.580
I think he's one of the smartest comedians out there.
00:49:36.600
And he had made a good point that he wasn't defending Roseanne Barr.
00:49:40.460
He was saying, okay, she did something wrong, and she apologized, and she's contrite.
00:49:49.760
And he was like, nobody wants to apologize anymore, because nobody wants to forgive anybody.
00:49:55.060
And it contributes to this polar tribalization, because it's not about persuading people.
00:50:03.160
It's more of an, politics now is more of an exercise of the ego than it is actually trying
00:50:08.380
to move the ball down the field and advocate for one's issues.
00:50:16.360
I talk about the death of nuance, how political conversation is incredibly stupid now.
00:50:21.140
And of course, there's the milkshake, death, and rage mobs chapter.
00:50:30.340
And I usually, and I didn't want to write it, but I ended up writing it.
00:50:34.560
It was something that I pitched and I came up with, and then I regretted it like two-thirds
00:50:40.780
Oh, because the premise is being tested and I was mad about it.
00:50:47.860
I actually, at a couple of different points, considered just burning it all down.
00:50:53.220
And I wanted to write a ridiculous tell-all and shoot it all into the stratosphere and
00:50:59.820
just let the fire of the burning bridges light my path.
00:51:04.520
But I probably need to write this book all the more.
00:51:11.980
It's really hard because all you want to do is pay people back.
00:51:31.260
Um, it's, you just want to pay people back, but it's not good when you do.
00:51:39.260
And you know that just as well as I do, how graceless people can be and how relentlessly
00:51:48.340
And, um, I, you know, and I think that that's, because it's a choice.
00:51:52.060
I mean, to, to, to give grace to someone, and I think that there are some people now
00:51:56.780
who are like-minded that think it is a sanction or that it is complicity or it is just, you're
00:52:09.920
And the people who deserve it the least are the best when you really need to kick it into
00:52:15.880
And, um, it's, but it is a choice and it's not my first choice.
00:52:19.020
I mean, for crying out loud, you know me, I mean, come on, let's not.
00:52:29.360
It's, but it's really not anybody's first choice.
00:52:32.080
It is, I mean, it goes against, uh, what I would call the natural man.
00:52:44.240
Um, and, and, you know, the natural man is an enemy of, uh, his enemy is an enemy of
00:52:49.980
Um, we, we are supposed to rise above that animal.
00:52:55.620
And, and, and that's, it's kind of, you know, it really, in so many ways, it's, it's a,
00:53:01.000
And I have to say that I feel that in terms of persuading, because, you know, I've asked
00:53:05.900
myself to, especially as my kids started getting older and my oldest son.
00:53:15.320
Um, and I was actually kind of discouraging him from, from it, you know, great parenting,
00:53:20.460
but, um, I did not want him to think that the only acceptable way to respond or handle
00:53:30.080
discussion in the country and in culture was, you have to be so flexed, so hardcore and be
00:53:38.920
completely emotionless and believe that any kind of empathy or any kind of, you know, anything
00:53:49.560
And I, you know, I really was, was very cognizant of that.
00:53:54.420
Um, and I, I realized if, if I, if anything, I need to model it for him rather than expecting
00:54:00.680
the political culture to, because that's not going to happen.
00:54:03.460
So at least, you know, if he sees me modeling it for him, then, you know, maybe that's at
00:54:07.080
least something that's a seed planted, you know, that, and then I'll be happy.
00:54:10.520
Um, but I, I really, cause he is, he has such a good heart and I know that him and his
00:54:14.400
friends, it's really a lot tougher, I think for them than it was for me when I was their
00:54:18.320
age. And I, I really wanted them to have that example.
00:54:24.680
So, um, let's go back and, and talk a little bit about, um, the, the media and the way they're
00:54:36.980
You know, we're, we're sitting at a time where the media has so discredited themselves
00:54:42.140
that because everything has been a way to get Donald Trump,
00:54:47.480
people on our side of the aisle, uh, are, are less, uh, willing to accept that coronavirus
00:55:01.740
It's just that we all have to do what we're all supposed to do.
00:55:04.980
And, you know, there was an article, where was it?
00:55:12.660
And it was talking about how there will be more conservatives that die from this, uh,
00:55:19.820
Don't know if that's true or any way to even prove that.
00:55:23.300
Um, however, their point was because liberals are taking this seriously, but I think this
00:55:31.740
If the roles were reversed, the exact same thing would be happening in the opposite.
00:55:43.200
I mean, I, I think that they have made it the way that they have handled this pandemic
00:55:47.940
has, I'm not surprised that they've done it, but I don't know that I'm at the point where
00:55:54.420
I don't think I could ever as universally speaking, I don't think that I could ever
00:55:59.540
recover my respect for so many in that industry.
00:56:03.360
I think it's, I think it's, it's just, it's something that's irrevocable.
00:56:07.120
Um, and the way that they have been so gleefully running as intermediates between what China
00:56:16.060
is, is insisting they're, they're trying to, they're engaging in a propaganda war.
00:56:19.860
And we have people in our media that are actually assisting them with this.
00:56:22.340
I just saw a headline that came from Axios and they were, they were going after, uh,
00:56:27.400
the United States saying that, you know, the, the world health organization says to stop
00:56:31.200
calling it the Chinese coronavirus, but Republicans, including the president, aren't listening.
00:56:37.440
China also bent the world health organization over a barrel and insisted that they exclude
00:56:41.640
Taiwan from international meetings about a pandemic.
00:56:44.300
And, and they've also had the world health organization praising them just at the end of January for
00:56:49.060
everything that they've done really essentially to help spread this.
00:56:51.660
So I'm really not going to take them as a source of authority on this.
00:56:54.400
And it's insane to me that our press who should just be watching out for the best interest
00:56:59.160
of the voter are instead actually watching out for the best interest of communist China.
00:57:03.800
So it's like the, the, the full, the full formalization has happened now.
00:57:07.960
I mean, what they're, they're, they're at where they're, where they're, they've been
00:57:12.780
And the way that they've handled it is that you're responsible and it's caused people to
00:57:16.200
even question the caution that they should have towards this.
00:57:18.780
It's caused them to question the recommendations and the guidelines.
00:57:22.420
And that's, that's absolutely irresponsible, irresponsible reporting to get people killed.
00:57:29.820
Dana, thank you so much for being who you are and taking everybody along on the, the journey.
00:57:47.760
Might be a good thing to spend in and spend the next few days while you're at home.
00:57:56.140
Just reading and kind of taking a measure of our lives.
00:58:16.120
I want to talk to you a little bit about relief factor.
00:58:19.200
And in Texas, you know, we were a little different here in Texas.
00:58:23.640
And I can't say, as my son would point out, I am the only actual born Texan in the family.
00:58:33.220
He works as a small aircraft flight instructor instructor.
00:58:37.660
I mean, this guy is this guy's Texan through and through.
00:58:41.400
The only parts of Tom that were aware that he was getting older was his lower back and his left hip, which over the past few years started to give him no end of grief.
00:58:49.660
And Tom was finding it harder and harder just to do the things he loved.
00:58:52.820
He thought, I'm not going to be able to ride my bike soon.
00:59:05.020
It stayed, he says, almost entirely gone ever since.
00:59:10.060
When taken properly, relief factor attacks the inflammation.
00:59:13.560
And that causes much, if not most, of our pain.
00:59:19.500
And it only costs $19.95 to start with their three-week quick start trial.
00:59:23.580
If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain, get your life back.
00:59:57.980
And I really want to talk to him about Brian Stelter and what he just said.
01:00:02.820
Brian Stelter was on CNN, what was it, yesterday.
01:00:07.200
And he was bitching about how the president's, was it, Surgeon General,
01:00:18.020
He was complaining about the press instead of delivering the facts.
01:00:37.700
So I just want to point out the hypocrisy quickly,
01:00:48.980
The reason why I want to have Rob on is because Rob is a guy who is a game enthusiast.
01:01:06.780
We want him on because I'd like to know some good games that maybe I can order from Amazon that are actually,
01:01:12.300
I don't know, fun that the whole family will play, which is almost impossible now.
01:01:19.460
And also tomorrow, we're going to take a look at all of the movies that are on Netflix and and Disney.
01:01:28.860
Universal movies that are currently in theaters are going to be on demand this week.
01:01:34.820
So the Invisible Man, The Hunt, Emma, they're currently in theaters,
01:01:40.240
but they are going to be on on demand this week.
01:01:48.700
Last night, if you happen to be one of the people that were watching Stu on his program,
01:01:53.580
Stu Does America, you heard an amazing, amazing fact just kind of thrown out in the middle of this interview.
01:02:03.380
Stu, you know, I was talking to Sonny Bunch from Rebeller, who is a movie reviewer and you might know him.
01:02:08.980
He he he was going through the effects on the on the movie business with coronavirus.
01:02:14.660
And he's all these shows that are being delayed.
01:02:19.220
Some of the production for all these different things has been canceled or delayed.
01:02:23.580
And then he mentions that Regal Cinemas has closed down all of their theaters nationwide for the time being due to the coronavirus.
01:02:34.680
He's like, I you know, I don't know that they open up after all this.
01:02:42.220
Regal Cinemas is just not going to open up again.
01:02:45.980
One of the largest in the country, if not the largest.
01:02:50.900
And he said, you know, they may they may just not even they have other issues that are going on with their business.
01:02:57.720
You know, the government's going to throw a lot of money at a lot of different industries here after this thing's over.
01:03:07.800
It may be one of those things that we lose like staples of American existence.
01:03:15.680
This is because changing the entire experience of being an American when it comes down to many things that we kind of have come to depend on.
01:03:27.580
And we want to get into the socialist aspect of that coming up.
01:03:36.920
Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there is a man walking out of a hospital into the open arms of a steel gray morning.
01:03:46.660
The lines on his face might be a little deeper this morning than they were when he went on shift some ungodly number of hours ago.
01:03:55.360
This traveler on the skin of the world has taken off the white coat and tells the world what he does.
01:04:02.060
Now he wears the things that tell the world who he is.
01:04:08.260
The most telling thing among them is a pair of Tecova's boots that he wears on his feet.
01:04:12.920
And every step he takes toward home lets the world know that the way the cowboy is very much alive.
01:04:19.860
When you buy a pair of Tecova's boots, you are buying a statement of integrity, of frontiersmanship, of who you are.
01:04:27.440
You know, you might think if you'd never worn a pair of boots, I don't know, I'd look silly.
01:04:33.280
You only look silly because you think you look silly.
01:04:40.160
Handmade with the finest leathers, Tecova's boots take 200 steps to complete.
01:04:53.560
On my show, Stu Does America, I always talk about the title, Stu Does Something.
01:05:13.220
It's been a while since we've talked, hasn't it?
01:05:20.600
It's been unpopular to even recognize that men even exist or there's a role to play.
01:05:28.940
I want to just address you to give you a heads up.
01:05:33.680
And it's happened before, but something that we really haven't seen in America for most of our lifetimes.
01:05:39.400
In fact, I think that we last saw it about 78 years or so ago.
01:05:45.560
Most of us don't have a frame of reference for this.
01:05:49.120
But the minute I say it or play it, you'll understand the reference.
01:05:55.420
It was 78 years ago that America heard these words.
01:05:58.860
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy.
01:06:12.960
So it was 78 years ago that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor
01:06:18.280
and America entered World War II and the world began to change in a flash.
01:06:24.480
And it was one of those events that altered our day-to-day lives overnight.
01:06:31.040
We were on a path, one that was familiar, one that was sure.
01:06:35.100
And then overnight, gone and reset in the blink of an eye.
01:06:53.280
We found a way to become new people, a focused people, a generous and powerful people.
01:07:00.740
We became the world's production engine with factories filled by men
01:07:05.580
and now for the first time women who stepped up to do what the world needed.
01:07:11.160
And us, as a group, we collectively became men.
01:07:22.400
And not for all the reasons that the woke left will tell you why we like that,
01:07:31.260
We worked to conquer the natural man to become better.
01:07:36.520
It was the era where we stood up and we became who we were meant to be,
01:07:45.860
And yeah, sure, we had to kill a bunch of bad guys, but the uniforms were pretty sweet.
01:07:54.980
They were dames that didn't blow on some other guy's dice.
01:08:04.840
We could smoke and nobody lectured us about smoking.
01:08:08.160
Nobody complained if we wanted to have a drink after a long days of work
01:08:11.620
or a firefight in Tunisia, a fist fight to settle our arguments.
01:08:17.440
That wasn't that big of a deal, but that's not what made that great.
01:08:21.540
That's what, that's not what made a man, a man.
01:08:26.580
It was a great era because the world needed men to be men.
01:08:33.000
The world needed warriors to battle against forces of chaos,
01:08:36.900
to hold the line and prevent humankind from sliding into the abyss of socialism,
01:08:42.720
national socialism, and international socialism called communism.
01:08:48.280
The world needed weapons, bombs, tanks, planes.
01:08:51.720
It needed powerful, terrible, destructive instruments to bring to bear,
01:09:01.820
We became protectors, defenders of those things that are worth defending.
01:09:11.060
Most of our grandparents or great-grandparents never spoke about what it was really like
01:09:25.460
We only survived doing what comes naturally to natural man, killing,
01:09:30.980
because we had trained ourselves through the grace of the creator to rise above the killing
01:09:42.220
But that generation survived and then came back home and helped the world thrive
01:09:54.560
They put rifles in our grandparents' hands, put ribbons on their chests and flags over their coffins.
01:10:13.280
Once again, as it has in the past, the world is in trouble.
01:10:17.360
And it's your turn now to step forward and serve.
01:10:21.940
The world is facing a new crisis, one that threatens to push humankind into the abyss.
01:10:29.140
It's not just the coronavirus, but it starts there.
01:10:33.040
As of today, you're being called to service, not in some generic way.
01:10:37.460
You're being called upon to be a man, to play the old role, to be strong, to be a protector.
01:10:45.500
Yes, to be stoic, brave, and confident doesn't mean you're not going to melt down,
01:10:49.460
doesn't mean you're going to cry from time to time.
01:10:54.880
But you need to act with surety even when you're not sure,
01:10:59.980
to lead your household, to be helpful and dedicated,
01:11:03.660
to do your part and risk your life and fortune,
01:11:06.660
to protect those around you, not just your family but your neighbors,
01:11:10.700
to be a part of something larger than yourself,
01:11:19.560
the nurses, both men and women, who are going to be the first online.
01:11:31.600
For the last few decades, society not just forgot about men,
01:11:59.720
because they thought they didn't need men anymore.
01:12:24.460
As a man, as a leader of a household, a family, or a business,
01:12:28.760
it's incumbent upon us to adopt the proper mindset.
01:12:34.660
is force our brain to realize that this is actually happening.
01:12:38.560
We are facing truly unprecedented disruptions in our normal way of life,
01:12:47.060
Our lives are probably going to have to change for a while.
01:12:50.160
And some of the things are going to change possibly forever.
01:12:54.120
As America did during the Spanish flu, the Great Depression, World War II.
01:12:57.920
We have to look at things through a new filter.
01:13:01.380
And yes, it has been that long since an event of this magnitude has happened,
01:13:07.380
which is why you have to force your brain into the right mindset.
01:13:11.460
The normalcy bias is a high barrier to overcome.
01:13:14.360
And that's what a lot of our friends and family members are dealing with right now.
01:13:20.680
So they don't, they don't, it's easier to dismiss this and look for something normal.
01:13:28.540
It's built in all of us to save our lives most of the time.
01:13:34.440
But we don't live in the same world we did just a few weeks ago.
01:13:37.640
And we are not going to be living in a world that we even recognize a few weeks from now.
01:13:43.640
At this point, you shouldn't be acting as if it might happen.
01:13:52.300
That doesn't mean that society is going to collapse and we're going to be facing a zombie apocalypse.
01:13:57.000
But localized and reason regional disruptions in food supplies, energy supplies, they are realistic.
01:14:03.780
They may not happen widespread, but it is realistic.
01:14:07.360
And the reason why people freak out and panic is because they're not sure.
01:14:20.560
Prepare yourself for being that rock, making firm, commanding decisions.
01:14:26.840
Your family is going to be looking to you for leadership and protection.
01:14:33.660
I know this is probably going to be taken out of context.
01:14:36.340
Glenn's saying that you men are men and women just go back in the kitchen.
01:14:47.880
But when it comes to those you shepherd, be decisive.
01:15:04.840
Please realize that the government is there to protect the country, the state, the county, etc.
01:15:12.980
That doesn't mean they're there to protect you.
01:15:15.640
Don't let your family become a refugee or a statistic.
01:15:19.520
Nothing here means the role of women is lessened or of less value than it ever has been.
01:15:25.720
In fact, the world needs them as much, if not more, than us.
01:15:41.020
As you step into your new role, they have to step into theirs.
01:15:58.100
What's worked in other countries to slow down COVID-19 is to shut everything down.
01:16:19.100
We don't want the government doing these things.
01:16:24.660
For several weeks, at least, the changes to social behavior, like wearing a surgical mask in public and not shaking hands, whatever it is, that's going to be going on until there's a vaccine.
01:16:39.340
But you're not called to just fight a pandemic.
01:16:45.700
COVID-19 is just the pin that's popping the bubble.
01:16:48.460
The bubble is what you really need to worry about because this is a two-wave disaster.
01:16:53.220
The first wave is a disaster of a deadly disease.
01:16:55.960
If we don't act, it threatens to kill millions of our friends and family and neighbors all around the world.
01:17:04.560
Because they could literally weld people, seal people into iron rooms and weld their doors closed in China.
01:17:20.940
God help us if the government thinks they have to or or do.
01:17:26.140
But as bad as the viral pandemic could be, the next wave will be worse.
01:17:34.620
The economic pandemic that follows threatens to be exponentially worse.
01:17:40.380
Disruptions to the global supply chain have barely been felt.
01:17:45.360
Warehouses that feed the grocery stores are starting to run out of food.
01:17:49.920
We're not going to have a run on the grocery stores.
01:17:56.880
But they are trying really hard to make sure that they have food and people to ship them.
01:18:06.740
What's happening in the global economy now has never happened before.
01:18:12.180
The consequences will be nothing short of revolutionary change.
01:18:26.260
Our character description is pretty darn clear.
01:18:28.240
The world isn't going to end, but we're going through a significant season change.
01:18:39.740
That's the job everybody's been getting you to try to deny for a long time.
01:18:45.940
And for once, the world is going to realize they need us to unite.
01:19:24.240
No matter how bad it gets with coronavirus, you're going to have to mow it.
01:19:28.140
Now, I'm telling you this because it is a message of hope.
01:19:31.120
The American way of life may change somewhat in the coming months, but it's not going away.
01:19:35.760
You're still going to have to go out there and do the things you've always done in life.
01:19:38.880
The virus might knock us down, but it's not going to keep us down.
01:19:42.660
And the grass is going to continue to come up, virus or no virus.
01:19:47.200
But let me tell you, a great way to mow your lawn, a great way to get through it,
01:19:58.120
You want the finest blend of speed and maneuverability?
01:20:02.700

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:21:01.440
Tonight's show, sorry, tomorrow night's show is about one thing.
01:21:06.620
Tomorrow night, on Wednesday night, on Blaze TV, I'm doing a show on one thing, the facts.
01:21:16.960
Just the exact opposite of what you're getting from the media every step of the way.
01:21:37.160
In fact, we have the doctor that is on the Netflix special pandemic.
01:21:46.820
And she is she's on the front lines of these of these pandemics.
01:21:53.760
She's going to be answering a lot of questions.
01:21:55.600
If you have a question that you just want somebody just give me the facts, please.
01:22:12.460
And tomorrow night at 9 p.m., we'll try to answer as many of those questions as we possibly can.
01:22:20.620
Tomorrow night, 9 p.m., blaze tv dot com slash Glenn.
01:22:37.300
We have our our our coronavirus update, COVID-19 update, and we begin in one minute.
01:22:56.000
Well, I want to talk to you a little bit about LifeLock.
01:22:58.500
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of an identity crisis?
01:23:01.260
One of those little states of mind where you're not really sure who you are.
01:23:04.760
You're not sure you want to be that person, whomever it is.
01:23:08.360
May I present you with somebody who would be more than happy to take that problem off your hands?
01:23:12.980
They're called cyber criminals, and they love to take your identity for themselves, and they'll decide exactly who you are.
01:23:23.620
Cyber crime is a part of our lives, and things like identity theft are a serious issue.
01:23:28.800
There's a difference between I'm having an identity crisis to I'm having an identity crisis.
01:23:34.900
Somebody's identity is stolen every two seconds, and you could miss something if you're only monitoring your credit.
01:23:40.900
LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number for sale on the dark web.
01:23:46.820
If there's a problem, their agents are going to work to fix it.
01:23:49.860
Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock sees the threats that you might miss on your own.
01:23:56.240
So if you're having an identity crisis, go see a doctor.
01:23:59.160
If you think that identity theft might be a problem, an identity crisis in your life, I would call LifeLock, 1-800-LIFELOCK, 1-800-LIFELOCK.

Total confirmed recoveries worldwide, now 79,000.
01:24:56.800
That's only up a couple thousand from yesterday, but at least it's up.
01:25:16.220
6% down from seven yesterday, down from 19% just three weeks ago.
01:25:22.620
The U.S. now has 4,743 confirmed cases and 93 deaths.
01:25:28.360
That's up almost 1,000 cases and 69 deaths just yesterday.
01:25:34.300
Only West Virginia does not have at least one active case.
01:25:50.260
In a script that's playing out in similar fashion all over the world, governments are forced to pick between saving lives and economic activity.
01:25:57.440
The U.S. and Western economies are particularly impacted, especially in the U.S.
01:26:02.860
70% of our total economic activity is generated via consumer spending.
01:26:13.380
When we stay at home, the whole world, when the world, you know, they used to say when the United States catches a cold or sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold.
01:26:28.680
And across the U.S., small businesses appear to be the hardest hit, especially those that directly serve customers, such as bars and restaurants and dry cleaners.
01:26:38.920
A study from Case Western University estimates now that nearly 50% of service jobs in the U.S. are going to be impacted with as many as a million jobs lost in the next 30 days.
01:27:01.560
And some of the projections look like there's a recession that doesn't bounce back until 2021.
01:27:06.640
So, that means the election is occurring in the midst of a recession.
01:27:12.100
And that doesn't usually work out well for the incumbent, if that's the case.
01:27:17.720
But if that is the case and we wind up seeing massive, massive effects like that, I mean, it is going to change the face of the election, without a doubt.
01:27:26.280
We are seeing health care system capacity be flooded around the world.
01:27:35.940
If there are no protective measures, it floods almost immediately.
01:27:40.780
They've been saying, you know, flatten the curve.
01:27:49.900
When you flatten the curve by washing your hands, by staying at home, social distancing, you can get this down to a fatality rate of 1% or less.
01:28:02.700
If you don't take protective measures, the case fatality rate is 2% or 3%.
01:28:13.860
Now, this is a problem because we are looking at a health care system that is the best in the world.
01:28:22.500
You have private businesses now coming in and stepping to the plate.
01:28:30.180
It's the private business that is stepping to the plate to help serve and take care of this problem.
01:28:38.580
But you, at the same time, have now 60% of Democrats say they have a more favorable view of universal health care and socialized medicine than they did just three weeks ago.
01:28:52.060
So people on this are moving towards socialism.
01:28:55.520
Italy has both a nationalized system and a private system.
01:29:01.000
Well, had the government just took over all private hospitals, all private medical facilities.
01:29:11.020
I warn you, nationalization is coming and we have to be very careful.
01:29:20.200
We are entering the most dangerous phase of our republic, I think, in my lifetime.
01:29:28.780
This is going to either destroy us or it will give us a chance to reset and renew.
01:29:36.700
But, you know, when you're looking at some of the things that are coming out of Washington right now,
01:29:44.260
There was Romney was offering a thousand dollars for every American, which is basic universal income.
01:29:54.260
But there's another basic universal income that's being shopped around.
01:29:58.380
You're talking about the Emergency Family Relief Act of 2020.
01:30:07.600
So it's got all it's got great things in there.
01:30:11.180
Again, it seems like one of the strategies here from Republicans is to kind of outdo the spending of the Democrats here as far as a stimulus goes.
01:30:24.440
So this is the Romney plan was with a thousand dollars per person.
01:30:27.700
And this is fourteen hundred and forty six dollars for a family of three seventeen hundred and eighty six dollars for a family of four and two thousand two hundred and six dollars for a family of five would be basically a cash payment until the coronavirus emergency ends.
01:30:57.900
Would you just look up national emergencies still in effect?
01:31:12.920
The blaze reported nearly two weeks ago that there's a new kind of experimental vaccine that is now entering human trials.
01:31:19.280
The vaccine is unique that it in the way that it doesn't use a live virus that is used in traditional vaccines.
01:31:28.740
Rather, the new approach is to synthetically construct an RNA strand that copies the genetic code of the virus to teach human cells to produce antibodies.
01:31:39.560
The viruses work by taking over human cells and turning each cell into a virus producing factory, which is how they replicate the synthetically produced RNA strand used in the new vaccine does not self replicate, but it should still activate antibody production.
01:31:57.120
Researchers warned that even if the human trial started this week and are successful, it's still maybe 18 months before the vaccine would be in the CVS.
01:32:06.840
But 18 months is the fastest by far anyone has been able to put this out.
01:32:14.660
The Trump administration vowed Monday all barriers would be removed to accelerate testing and production if successful.
01:32:22.180
So now all non-essential businesses are being considered and closing them down.
01:32:32.360
Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, said the United States must shut down all but essential businesses and government agencies to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
01:32:41.240
The time has come for extraordinary measures to combat the Chinese coronavirus, Cotton tweeted.
01:32:47.340
It seems extreme today, but it will seem obvious tomorrow.
01:32:52.560
Cotton, chairman of the Economic Policy Subcommittee for the Senate Banking Committee, said he's drafting legislation that would give cash cash stipends to workers and their families.
01:33:03.860
Shelter is now in place in six counties in California.
01:33:09.200
More expected today, over seven million Californians have been ordered to a shelter and a shelter in place at home.
01:33:17.500
The order is effective as of midnight last night.
01:33:20.940
Residents are allowed to outside to walk, to acquire food, medicine from local stores or to travel to medical appointments.
01:33:29.300
All non-essential activity outside the home is effectively now illegal.
01:33:35.320
Although law enforcement are being asked to practice patience and provide guidance and warnings rather than arrest people who refuse to comply.
01:33:43.520
Similar house arrest orders are being considered throughout the county and elsewhere in California, including Alameda County, L.A. County, Orange County.
01:33:53.900
In total, including similar activity restrictions in Washington, New York, Pennsylvania and other locations, an estimated 30 million Americans are currently experiencing some degree of travel or activity restrictions.
01:34:06.500
So far, the ACLU's only response to COVID-19 is a strongly anti-Trump landing page, indicating that Trump will help lead the panic and asking for donations to defeat him in November.
01:34:25.980
Everything that anybody says, oh, Donald Trump, he's not doing.
01:34:31.080
It's European Union to close all borders to non-EU citizens.
01:34:36.240
That sound like what Donald Trump did last week where he was called a racist and and not doing and not doing the right things and just and just trying to piss off all of our allies.
01:34:48.100
They wish they would have done it a week before Donald Trump announced it.
01:34:52.680
Everything that he is doing seems to be all the things that the European Union does too late.
01:35:02.760
The national supply chain is fine, but how to balance the local needs overall?
01:35:08.000
Plenty of food and medical supplies to stock America's store shelves when measured nationally.
01:35:13.400
The challenge, however, for some markets is ensuring regional supply chains can keep up with the surge surge buying caused by local orders for residents to stay put for two to three weeks longer.
01:35:26.960
Stores like Kroger, Walmart do have regionally located warehouses.
01:35:31.600
Localized buying sprees as residents stock up for long stints at home can empty regional logistics facilities requiring retailers to shift stock from one region to another.
01:35:49.540
That's all we have to do is just be decent and be a thinking human being.
01:35:58.280
So we have we do have a couple couple in effect.
01:36:00.580
So, you know, March 2020, the coronavirus that's for under Trump was made in May and 20 2019 under Trump.
01:36:08.740
Another in February 2019 under Trump, then November 2018 under Trump, September 2018 under Trump and December 2017 under Trump.
01:36:21.420
They're all those aren't those aren't coronavirus emergencies.
01:36:24.660
I thought we were just in this national emergency.
01:36:27.240
I thought you wanted the list of all of them that were still in effect.
01:36:30.760
I was just thinking that maybe there would be one or two.
01:36:33.380
Well, there's certainly there's November 2015 from Obama, April 2015 from Obama, March 2015 from Obama, May 2014 from Obama, April 2014 from Obama, March 2014 from Obama, May 2012 from Obama, July 2011.
01:36:49.840
What were these national emergencies that were still in?
01:36:57.700
Well, I mean, I mean, I mean, the the conflict in the Central African Republic is still going on.
01:37:08.240
Those were national emergencies here in the U.S.
01:37:20.940
So I know I was very affected in my household by Burundi.
01:37:24.180
July 2011 under Obama, February 2011 under Obama, April 2010 under Obama, June 2008 under Bush, August 2007 under Bush, October 2006 under Bush, June 2006.
01:37:40.260
These are all national emergencies that are still running.
01:37:44.460
So the point the point is, because I'm sure you have just a couple of more.
01:37:48.200
May 2004 under Bush, May 2003 under Bush, March 2003 under Bush, September 2001, of course, under Bush.
01:37:54.440
Yeah, but there's nothing there's there's nothing really old.
01:37:58.020
August 17th, 2001, June 2001, November 1997, March 96, October 95, 95, 95, 94.
01:38:11.640
The point is national emergencies never go away.
01:38:16.320
So any any legislation that is passed while this national emergency continues must have the language changed.
01:38:25.380
It must be changed and it must have sunsets in it like every 30 days, every 60 days.
01:38:34.000
Anything that is set up by this government will continue.
01:38:37.760
We're not out of this national emergency because the next wave is the economic emergency.
01:38:42.480
They can do anything under this national emergency.
01:38:48.920
And hopefully we have a few people in Congress that are aware of this.
01:39:03.600
Let me spend one minute telling you about American financing.
01:39:12.840
It's something that the people over at American financing understand.
01:39:18.320
I tried to get a hold of my bank yesterday and at 4 p.m.
01:39:31.220
They offer a digital mortgage product so you can complete the mortgage process online anytime, anywhere.
01:39:39.380
And that means custom low rate loans and fast closings.
01:39:43.700
Whether you're calling about getting a mortgage or refinancing one or if you just need to consolidate debt and avoid high credit card debt interest.
01:39:51.140
American financing has you covered right now in just 10 minutes on the phone with them.
01:40:01.180
And you can even apply online using their digital mortgage product.
01:40:09.080
They are so well worth the 10 minutes that you'll have to spend with them.
01:40:13.100
10 minutes and they can change your financial future.
01:40:19.160
800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, Americanfinancing.net.
01:40:26.040
American financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
01:40:34.120
So, Stu, what are you guys doing with the kids all day?
01:40:54.880
We are, well, we have, this is the last day of their spring break, which was extended a couple of days.
01:41:00.260
And then they go into online learning through the school.
01:41:05.300
Where is this online learning of which they speak?
01:41:17.260
They're just, you're just off for all, for extended periods of time?
01:41:23.840
I think it's at least four, at least four days a week.
01:41:27.480
And there's assignments and there's, you know, video check-ins with the teachers and all that stuff.
01:41:34.820
One of the things that they're really worried about, apparently, is the internet not really ever utilized like this before.
01:41:44.860
With millions of people all of a sudden using it to work from home.
01:41:49.020
And they're worried about the stress on the internet.
01:41:54.360
They're wondering, all the kids at home streaming movies during the day.
01:41:59.600
You know, the internet was really slow yesterday.
01:42:03.400
But that is something that they have really no idea how it's going to hold up.
01:42:11.020
You know, the nice thing about 5G is when that's it.
01:42:13.600
By the way, have you seen the nonsense about people like, it's 5G.
01:42:17.960
Look at the effects of 5G and compare them to the coronavirus.
01:42:35.540
I mean, I know my wife is, as you may know, very social person.
01:42:44.820
Yeah, human interaction, a big part of her life.
01:42:47.180
Now, I could never speak to another human again in my life and not really be bothered by it.
01:42:53.940
So she's now going into this period where she's just home with the kids for, God only knows, months?
01:43:00.820
I think she's having a little bit of a tough time with it, as she's kind of talked about.
01:43:06.800
It's going to be a lot of people dealing with a real change in the way their life operates.
01:43:13.680
Not just as far as, like, do I get to go to stores or not, but do I get to see another human being or not?
01:43:18.380
Oh, I think there's going to come a time, and I think it's going to happen quickly, where people are going to say,
01:43:24.440
I would lick the handrail of a moving hospital escalator rather than spend another day in my home with my children.
01:43:45.560
It's only been one day, and I have been thinking about what I'd rather do.
01:44:05.540
One of the things I'm planning to do with my time, the whole coronavirus thing, is just catch up on sleep.
01:44:11.400
You know, I can't wait until no one is looking.
01:44:22.660
He didn't want to even, you know, just he didn't want to concern you.
01:44:26.780
It may come back to haunt me later, but in the meantime, it's just me.
01:44:37.660
There's not enough alcohol, and I've wasted all of my blackouts.
01:44:44.240
You're going to need those blackouts when your kids are teenagers.
01:44:50.680
It's buy one, get one free special on the Giza dream sheets.
01:44:54.020
As I told you before, Giza cotton, best cotton in the world.
01:44:56.900
Durable, soft, actually gets softer the longer you sleep and every time you wash it.
01:45:07.800
Also, deep discounts on all their other MyPillow products.
01:45:17.800
I hold in my hand one of the very first copies of Arguing with Socialists by Mr. Glenn Beck.
01:45:36.040
Stu, did you see the Goldman Sachs came out yesterday, said that we're going to have zero GDP growth this quarter.
01:45:45.420
And some are saying, I think it was Goldman Sachs that said it could be as low as negative 5% GDP growth, a million people losing their jobs in the next 30 days.
01:45:57.660
This is headed in really bad, bad places quickly.
01:46:06.180
I think JPMorgan Chase is saying, this is for quarter two GDP, JPMorgan Chase minus 3%, Wells Fargo minus 3.3%, Morgan Stanley minus 4%, Goldman Sachs minus 5%, IHS minus 5.4%, UCLA minus 6.5%, TS Lombard minus 8%, Pantheon Macroeconomics minus 10%, Barenberg minus 11.7% GDP.
01:46:54.060
The corporate debt bond, we've got gun sales are surging.
01:46:59.980
The IMF says that they're, you know, reading a trillion dollars in bailout money.
01:47:06.960
This is, this is a very, very scary time and we have to pay attention to what's going on.
01:47:14.060
I urge you, urge you to order my book while we all have money arguing with socialists.
01:47:31.120
So a hundred pages are about of just really fine print footnotes.
01:47:42.940
And it takes you through all of the arguments you're going to need, including basic minimum
01:47:49.220
income arguments, which I think is going to be suggested.
01:47:53.120
Also, uh, universal healthcare and a one payer socialist system arguing with socialists.
01:48:03.080
Just a couple of weeks ago, I thought, boy, we're right spot on the money with the, with
01:48:09.060
But, uh, boy, we, this has taken us, uh, for a loop because now I can tell you probably
01:48:15.540
in the next few days, you're, everyone is going to be spending time at home, uh, with
01:48:21.660
And may I suggest the Glenn Beck program is a good babysitter.
01:48:30.760
Please don't make us listen to that scary guy on the radio, please.
01:48:35.100
Uh, we do have Rob, you know, with us who I just wanted to, he's our media, our media,
01:48:42.600
He watches the media for us, uh, at blaze TV and, uh, the blaze.com.
01:48:47.900
Um, and I just have to start with just one of my least favorite people in the world,
01:48:55.620
And what he was talking about when he took on the, uh, who was it?
01:49:04.000
He's trying to say that the surgeon general was just a mouthpiece for the Trump administration
01:49:08.160
and is not really telling Americans the truth and is just trying to protect Donald Trump.
01:49:12.520
Yeah, and trying to, and saying all these negative things about the media and not giving any facts.
01:49:20.380
Can you just give the facts for the love of Pete?
01:49:29.440
I was going to say, this is, this is a real problem.
01:49:31.520
I mean, you, you've laid out how coronavirus is a real problem, but we need facts and not,
01:49:39.860
If, if we trusted the media over the past 20 years, maybe people would listen to them more.
01:49:46.640
This is, they have caused this problem, uh, or deepened this problem, uh, where people just
01:49:52.580
don't know who to trust because we haven't been able to trust them for so long.
01:49:57.060
They've been making everything about politics for so long.
01:50:00.280
Um, all right, Rob, uh, the reason why I have you on, it has nothing to do with the media,
01:50:18.900
I, it's one of the things that I do to pass my time.
01:50:25.360
Um, well, used to play three or four or five times a week when I was in South Carolina.
01:50:29.120
Now I, I play probably two times a week with friends and sometimes online.
01:50:33.520
Um, I've been playing board games since I got into college.
01:50:36.200
Um, and it's just, it's a good way to keep your mind going, to meet other people.
01:50:40.680
And it's, it's really seen a renaissance, um, in the past 10 years, millennials in particular
01:50:50.020
Everything is connected and much like how they like, you know, millennials are the people
01:50:55.380
that brought back, um, 33 RPMs and 45 real vinyl because it's textural.
01:51:02.000
They can feel it in the same thing with board games.
01:51:04.920
It's something different that gets people together.
01:51:07.880
You can put the phone away, although the people that I play with who are probably listening
01:51:11.240
know that I keep my phone on too much when I play cause I'm addicted, but you can put
01:51:15.300
the phone away and you can, you can just sit down and have conversations with people and
01:51:19.460
And it's in for families in particular, it's a good way to learn other skills that can
01:51:27.820
So, uh, my family hates almost every board game, uh, mainly because they're either candy
01:51:33.220
land or monopoly, uh, and, uh, it drives us nuts.
01:51:44.460
We play, uh, dominoes, but we don't play board games because they're usually hokey and stupid.
01:51:51.740
Can you give me some board games that we're going to want to play as a family?
01:51:56.520
And I'll give you the top one right off the top of my list, the top five board games for
01:52:00.660
families is Catan or what was called settlers of Catan.
01:52:04.160
One of the reasons people hate monopoly is there's a lot of time in between your turn,
01:52:08.460
Where other people are doing things and you can be eliminated.
01:52:12.160
Um, so you could be eliminated on maybe turn two and because you've gone bankrupt and everybody
01:52:18.020
else plays for another hour and you're sitting off to the side doing nothing.
01:52:21.420
Well, the German style board games, Germany has a long history of board games, German style
01:52:27.340
In particular, you don't have player elimination.
01:52:31.400
You're playing through the whole game and you have a way to get to the end of the whole
01:52:37.600
It sounds a little hokey, but what you're doing is you're coming onto an Island and from
01:52:42.020
one to four players, you can play five to six with a, with an expansion.
01:52:46.300
You're building a settlement and a network of, of a settlement on an Island.
01:52:52.380
So you're, you have an Island that it's got different resources, right?
01:53:00.720
You can get sheep from the pastures, wheat from a, a field and wood from a forest.
01:53:06.740
And so this is really good because this, this will teach us how to rebuild when everything
01:53:31.160
Can I go to, well, I can just order it online, right?
01:53:36.540
There's a bunch of game stores and you can get it at your local game store if they haven't
01:53:44.640
Next one, by the way, this, you say Germans are, are known for their board games.
01:53:49.700
They're also known for their concentration camps.
01:53:51.820
So be careful when you're saying, oh, they're great for board games.
01:54:01.660
That they have in the board games, but exactly right.
01:54:05.320
So the next one's ticket to ride ticket to ride.
01:54:07.480
If you know how to play rummy, where you're collecting different cards, you say you play a lot
01:54:11.040
of card games, you can either run or the same suit for a flush ticket to ride.
01:54:15.960
You're collecting colors of cards to build out a train network, right?
01:54:20.420
So if you have five orange cards, you can lay them down and you can build your five trains
01:54:25.580
on the orange train track and you can get points for doing that.
01:54:29.300
And then the kicker is the neat thing is that you also have secret objective cards that
01:54:35.160
are, I need to get from say Boston to Los Angeles.
01:54:39.640
Well, your fellow players don't know that you have that, that game.
01:54:43.200
This was the first game, Glenn, that broke through into the, into the mainstream.
01:54:47.780
It's the first type of this game that you could get, you know, by going to your local target
01:54:53.200
And now a lot of these, you know, designer type board games are available even at your,
01:54:58.880
your local Barnes and Nobles, but, you know, Barnes and Nobles doesn't just sell books anymore
01:55:02.300
because everybody buys them on Kindles and, you know, things like that.
01:55:09.300
They, they have four or five aisles in some Barnes and Nobles now of board games.
01:55:14.820
And this was the first game that, that really did that, um, on a, you know, on a mass market
01:55:27.060
This like you, my parents, like, you know, dice games and card games.
01:55:30.960
And for 25 years, I tried to get my parents into the hobby, right?
01:55:37.600
They play this game two to three times a night.
01:55:40.640
They may have the most plays of space space of anybody on the planet with the amount that
01:55:52.360
It's a, yes, it's your, you're basically commanding and building a fleet of ships, um,
01:56:02.580
Um, so you're trying to, to build this, this fleet and you roll dice, right?
01:56:08.020
And what's neat about it is say I roll a one and a four, you will have cards that you
01:56:14.220
have purchased that put the cards on the top of your board and you'll have a bunch of actions
01:56:22.120
When I roll the one and the four on the five slot.
01:56:24.260
So you can do things and you can build your fleet, build your system on my turn.
01:56:31.300
Again, with monopoly, how you say, you know, my family doesn't like monopoly.
01:56:35.800
That's because you're not doing stuff on your, on other people's turn.
01:56:40.360
And in this game, you can do stuff on other people's turn.
01:56:45.260
And, and, you know, to give a plug to the world board gamers association, I'm actually
01:56:49.680
going to be a GMing or general managing the world championship of this game, um, in July.
01:56:57.880
I just realized that, uh, in the food chain of life, I am below you now when things break
01:57:09.840
I can't got, I can't, I can cook a little bit, but I, I would need some sort of nice
01:57:31.020
Is there anything can you, maybe you can come back, you know, maybe later this week, but
01:57:35.600
I would love to, uh, talk to you about, is there anything that generally teenagers really
01:57:42.560
like that I could pretty much guarantee I can get them back to the table the next night?
01:57:49.080
Um, you know, if you like adventures, there's, there's a couple of games, um, not on my list,
01:57:54.180
One of them is, um, one of them is betrayal at house on the hill.
01:57:58.160
Um, you're, you're building out, uh, a haunted house and you're going and exploring the haunted
01:58:11.000
So that's, that's, that's a cool game that, that teenagers might hang on just a second.
01:58:14.620
It's, it's, it's called, it's called betrayal house on the hill.
01:58:23.620
Uh, it's not one of those acting games where we're all like, I hate those things where
01:58:34.340
There's a lot of cooperative games that, that are like that.
01:58:39.040
That that's one of the ones that's easy to get into.
01:58:41.500
Um, you know, you're flipping cards as you go into room and, and, you know, if you really
01:58:45.820
want to go dark during this time, there's, there's a game called pandemic legacy and pandemic
01:58:52.920
legacy is one of the best board games ever made.
01:58:55.300
People say, and you're trying to stop a pandemic from taking over the world.
01:59:00.160
Um, and it plays over a series of nights might not be the one you want to do this time, but
01:59:09.260
Go clean the garage or playing pandemic legacy.
01:59:12.560
Remember the game that made you cry last night.
01:59:35.120
There are some things in life that are naturally complicated.
01:59:38.100
And then there's some things that, uh, are not so much the things you can, you know, make
01:59:45.980
Shaving doesn't have to be those complex things.
01:59:49.560
You got your favorite company that sells your amazing eight bladed shaving razors and your
01:59:54.340
bowl of shaving cream and your wood handled brush and the jar of blue sanitizer.
02:00:04.460
You need just a little teeny bottle of shave secret.
02:00:06.860
And you could, I mean, you could use any blade.
02:00:08.740
I wouldn't recommend a rusty blade, but you use any blade.
02:00:17.340
Dramatically reduces the nicks and the cuts and the ingrown hairs.
02:00:22.460
All you have to do is put a couple of drops in your hand, three to five drops, and you
02:00:26.840
Just work it in to your beard or ladies and your legs.
02:00:32.660
You'll find it online at Amazon shave secret.com.
02:00:35.840

Tonight on Stu Does America on YouTube and on podcast, you can subscribe there for free,
02:01:26.940
We're going to go a little in defense of price gouging.
02:01:31.000
That's on tonight's episode of Stu Does America.
02:01:33.680
One thing I want to point out to people, because the media has been beating up the Trump administration,
02:01:37.340
uh, about how many tests we've had for COVID-19.
02:01:41.820
And the numbers started off pretty slow, but really what they're not recognizing is that
02:01:48.540
how is, how fast this is ramped up since the private sector really got involved here.
02:01:53.300
Uh, we had, uh, about 3,500 tests a few days ago, about 3,000, then I'm up to 7,000.
02:02:04.140
We're now at almost 50,000 people tested where, I mean, you know, within a week or two, we're
02:02:09.920
going to catch up to, uh, every country on earth as far as tests go.
02:02:14.500
So this sort of outdated information that we're not testing people is not true.
02:02:19.140
This is, this is really positive progress here.
02:02:22.600
And this is one of the main things we need to know to stop this from spreading any further.
