The Glenn Beck Program - There Is No Free Market Any More ｜ Guest： Rep. Karen Whitsett ｜ 4⧸13⧸20

00:00:00.520 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:00:06.560 What the heck is happening with our governors?

00:00:12.140 I am proud to say in the great state of Texas, we have a governor going the other direction.

00:00:17.340 South Dakota has a governor going in the other direction.

00:00:20.900 How many of these governors have become little Mussolinis? 0.86

00:00:25.720 What is happening?

00:00:27.980 Hey, Kentucky, kind of regretting that governor vote.

00:00:32.760 Holy cow. 0.89

00:00:34.620 We begin with the power grab there, then the power grab by the Fed, and some good news as well.

00:00:42.300 All coming up. Stand by one minute.

00:00:44.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:49.580 Well, as spring moves towards summer this year, you might be thinking it's time to spruce up the house just a little bit.

00:00:54.680 Place could use some, you know, some new paint here and there.

00:00:58.180 Maybe, maybe you you need some new window coverings.

00:01:02.820 And the last thing you need is a big, huge bill.

00:01:05.300 Well, let me tell you, there is there is one place blinds dot com that will shock you with their prices.

00:01:13.020 It is really, really high quality stuff.

00:01:16.620 They'll send everything to you in advance.

00:01:18.440 They'll send you samples and paint colors and everything else in advance.

00:01:22.240 So, you know exactly what you're getting.

00:01:25.100 They'll help you design it.

00:01:27.320 If you need help designing, they'll even help you hang them if you need help for that.

00:01:31.720 But you can do this all by yourself.

00:01:33.380 It's blinds dot com.

00:01:34.900 The last time Tanya and I bought blinds on blinds dot com, just what, about six months ago or so, we were looking at we were looking at window coverings for our our old 1800s cabin.

00:01:50.300 And and we want to just see at these specific kind of window covers or go to blinds dot com.

00:01:55.160 We had shopped around and done our own homework and then we went to blinds dot com and they were saving us money.

00:02:02.900 And Tanya said to me, we were at checkout and Tanya said, look at the difference of this price.

00:02:08.060 And I said, I know it's pretty amazing, isn't it?

00:02:10.440 And right before she put submit, I said, wait a minute, did you put the promo code back in?

00:02:15.020 And she said, no, I'm like, she's for love.

00:02:19.400 So she put the promo code back in.

00:02:21.320 It went half of that price.

00:02:24.320 It was it was it was stunning to us how much money we were saving blinds dot com right now.

00:02:32.460 You want to save money?

00:02:33.360 You want to spruce your house up?

00:02:35.420 Maybe you're getting ready to sell or you just you've been in the house now.

00:02:39.880 You'd like it to look a little nicer.

00:02:41.360 You've seen some of the flaws blinds dot com blinds dot com.

00:02:45.440 See their amazing selections.

00:02:46.960 Start your free online design consultation.

00:02:49.420 Rules and restrictions may apply.

00:02:51.060 It is at blinds dot com.

00:02:54.320 OK.

00:03:03.360 All righty.

00:03:05.280 OK.

00:03:06.800 What's happening?

00:03:09.040 Our governors.

00:03:10.100 And have you noticed?

00:03:11.060 I believe the worst offenders are the Democrats, the ones who have been warning that Donald Trump is a fascist.

00:03:20.060 He's a fascist.

00:03:21.080 He's going to be Hitler. 0.97

00:03:22.240 He'll be Mussolini.

00:03:24.340 Can I tell you something?

00:03:25.180 I'm one of those guys that said, in fact, I believe we should look back on this, too.

00:03:32.280 I believe during the election in 2016, when I was against Donald Trump, I said there's going to come a depression.

00:03:43.660 A depression will hit.

00:03:45.580 And this guy will be more FDR than FDR and he will nationalize the banks and nationalize everything because that was in his history.

00:03:59.080 He's talked about those kinds of things.

00:04:01.940 And that was my big concern.

00:04:04.020 And that was the only concern that I had left on Donald Trump.

00:04:07.720 You know, far as policies, he's either done it with the trade, which I disagree, but it's worked out fairly well, it seems.

00:04:17.760 And then he's done all the things with Israel and the war and everything else.

00:04:23.460 We hit all of those hurdles.

00:04:25.380 We're now at the massive economic crisis.

00:04:29.220 Is he going to seize power like FDR did?

00:04:34.720 No, he's not.

00:04:37.500 And I am thrilled by this.

00:04:40.740 He's not doing it.

00:04:42.160 And the people who are calling for him to do it are the press and the governors.

00:04:48.340 And the only thing I can think of is because they want him to do it.

00:04:52.180 So when they get in office, they can do it.

00:04:55.180 And they say, well, you didn't have a problem when Donald Trump did it.

00:04:58.280 Well, yeah, yeah, I would.

00:05:00.780 He's not doing it.

00:05:02.420 And all of these governors are turning into little Mussolini's in in Mississippi.

00:05:08.620 Not even a drive in church is allowed.

00:05:12.920 Not even a drive in church.

00:05:16.360 Now, what's a drive in church?

00:05:17.920 People come out.

00:05:19.260 They get in their cars.

00:05:20.940 They're listening on the radio or they crack their window open or they sit on the hood of their car.

00:05:27.680 Like in a drive in movie theater.

00:05:28.920 And you're at least six feet apart.

00:05:33.000 And that's not good enough.

00:05:35.000 It is the the in Mississippi.

00:05:44.960 The pastor of the King James Bible Baptist Church in Greensville.

00:05:51.340 Had the drive in method of holding services.

00:05:56.660 The mayor issued an order prohibiting that service and sent the police and and actually said, your rights are suspended.

00:06:11.140 Excuse me, I'm sorry.

00:06:14.740 Excuse me.

00:06:15.240 What?

00:06:16.940 I believe my rights are inalienable, which means no man can change them, take them.

00:06:22.960 No man can.

00:06:23.980 I have an inalienable right.

00:06:26.600 Now we're assembling and we're assembling here safely.

00:06:30.740 We're assembling, we're we're all social distancing.

00:06:35.580 This is insane what's going on in Michigan.

00:06:41.620 The governor has banned residents from buying seeds or plants and gatherings of any size.

00:06:49.940 Um, excuse me.

00:06:54.540 Pardon me.

00:06:57.020 Uh, church members at, uh, the Temple Baptist Church.

00:07:03.200 They were suspended.

00:07:05.200 There's another one in Kentucky.

00:07:07.940 Here, this one, the Louisville mayor, uh, also banned Easter Sunday drive in church services.

00:07:16.020 You couldn't do it there.

00:07:17.880 The Kentucky worshipers, um, in our, who are supposed to be in lockdown.

00:07:27.020 Showed up, but when they showed up, there was heavy police presence and nails blocking the parking lots of the churches.

00:07:35.800 So you couldn't drive in.

00:07:37.960 They put nails on the parking lot.

00:07:46.020 What, what, what, what, what, what is happening in America?

00:07:50.180 What is happening?

00:07:53.400 Federal court now prohibited Louisville mayor from banning the church service.

00:07:59.480 So at least someone is going to the courts.

00:08:03.260 Some of these guys have got to be held responsible.

00:08:07.040 What are we even America anymore?

00:08:11.960 I mean, I really, I do understand, Stu, help me out here.

00:08:16.640 I do understand, you know, saying to people, Hey, look, you can't do this.

00:08:21.820 Don't, don't do this.

00:08:23.480 But when somebody like a church says, we're going to do this and we're going to be separate, we're going to be in our own cars.

00:08:34.240 What is the problem with that?

00:08:35.840 I can't think of any, you know, they're trying to figure out a way to, to take more and more control.

00:08:44.340 We found this in, you know, Michigan's is a really bad example.

00:08:47.780 It seems like where these executive order is, is restricted.

00:08:52.220 Even if, you know, to the point of, if you have multiple houses in, in Michigan, you're not really allowed to travel between them.

00:08:59.900 Like what?

00:09:00.660 Like I, I, this, this thing against driving is so bizarre.

00:09:04.300 Every time you open up your ways app, it says, make sure you're only driving if you really need to.

00:09:08.900 What does that have to do with COVID-19?

00:09:11.120 Like, Oh, I, like if I'm going to drive and get out and go to a party and start making out with strangers.

00:09:16.320 Sure.

00:09:16.700 I get it.

00:09:17.160 But it's like this, if I'm in the car with the same people I'm in my house with, why would that make a difference?

00:09:22.380 I mean, we have gone for, I mean, it's funny because when I was growing up, you're probably too old to remember this.

00:09:29.180 It may have just been a saying when you were, when you were growing up, Stu, but it was a reality when I was growing up, Sunday drives.

00:09:38.800 Yeah.

00:09:39.360 You ever heard the phrase, Oh, it's a Sunday driver.

00:09:41.600 Sunday driver.

00:09:43.720 Okay.

00:09:44.160 So Sunday driver, do you know what that is?

00:09:46.800 Do you know why that is a thing?

00:09:48.320 I mean, I just remember it being like the people who were kind of driving slow and would be in the way and not really trying to get anywhere.

00:09:55.860 Do you know why they were called Sunday drivers?

00:09:59.180 Um, besides driving on Sunday.

00:10:01.980 Yeah.

00:10:02.340 Well, yeah, I figured that was, I mean, the only thing I could think of is maybe the blue laws.

00:10:05.820 Was it tied to that where there's nothing really open?

00:10:08.020 So you had to, okay.

00:10:09.240 Yep.

00:10:09.980 So you would go driving and you would say, I mean, my grandfather used to say this all the time.

00:10:15.200 My dad would say it, Hey, let's go for a Sunday drive.

00:10:18.300 And what you do is you'd get the whole family because everything was closed.

00:10:21.980 So you get the whole family into the car and you drive around neighborhoods and parts of the city you've never seen before, or you just want to go look at.

00:10:30.760 So everybody was distracted and you were looking out the sides of the window.

00:10:35.300 So you're driving really slow, you know, and you were distracted.

00:10:39.500 The driver was distracted.

00:10:41.080 So a Sunday driver was somebody who's just like, would you please stop?

00:10:45.240 You don't need to see everything.

00:10:46.540 Just go.

00:10:47.540 So Sunday driving, I've said to my kids, look, you want to go for a Sunday drive?

00:10:54.180 Let's just get in the car.

00:10:55.260 Let's just go for a drive.

00:10:57.060 What is the problem?

00:10:58.400 The minute the cop stops me, you, Mr. Police officer, expose me and my family to you.

00:11:08.140 I wasn't exposing anybody.

00:11:09.860 I'm in my car.

00:11:11.160 Now, if I'm speeding or something else, fine.

00:11:14.020 But if you're stopping me to ask me why I'm driving, you're now exposing me.

00:11:20.640 Are you six feet away from my window?

00:11:24.880 I mean, it's insane.

00:11:26.740 I mean, it seems like the type of activity you would want to encourage at this time.

00:11:31.380 Yes.

00:11:31.980 Give people a chance to go and do something.

00:11:34.320 You know, you go, you go see maybe a site that you always wanted to see.

00:11:38.580 You drive.

00:11:38.960 I mean, what are you going to do?

00:11:39.940 The only thing, the only place you can stop anyway are gas stations and grocery stores.

00:11:45.520 So that's, you know, you're going to probably stop and maybe go through a drive through and

00:11:49.140 get some food.

00:11:49.620 You're not going to be going to a, you know, a major gathering of any sort.

00:11:53.220 You're just going maybe to see scenery or just drive around and do something.

00:11:56.200 Just get out of the house.

00:11:57.160 I mean, every parent I talk to is amazed at the fact that when they want to go through

00:12:01.980 the Wendy's drive through now, everybody rushes to get in the car with them where before

00:12:06.820 you couldn't get them out of the house and it's like people want some sort of escape

00:12:11.660 and you're, they're taking these things away.

00:12:13.380 Even in Texas, Glenn, you know, one of the things they had in, you know, in Texas where

00:12:16.680 people were still going golfing in certain places.

00:12:20.040 A golfing is, I'm not a golfer, but it's, it's a, it's a obviously a place.

00:12:24.320 People did it to get your head straight before these times.

00:12:27.460 You can do it easily social distancing.

00:12:29.620 Most golfers suck. 1.00

00:12:30.600 They hit the ball nowhere near each other anyway.

00:12:32.140 It's basically you're walking in a field and, and, and, and not even, you know, really

00:12:38.220 interacting with people, especially if you were to have the golf courses say, make sure

00:12:43.240 you do X, Y, and Z.

00:12:44.540 Well, they, they got, they got rid of that.

00:12:46.280 That's now a non-essential activity.

00:12:48.100 Now, of course it is not essential, but it is, there's no reason to stop it.

00:12:53.580 I swear the only reason they stopped it is because evil rich people are the ones who typically

00:12:57.560 enjoy golf and we can't give them something that we like, uh, that they like if we can't

00:13:02.340 give it to everybody else, which is, it's not like you're playing, you're not playing

00:13:06.280 racquetball.

00:13:07.080 You're not playing basketball.

00:13:09.080 I mean, you, that's a team sport.

00:13:12.480 Golf is a sport against yourself mainly, and you can easily play that at great distances

00:13:20.740 from one another.

00:13:21.860 Yeah.

00:13:22.420 I mean, you know, you go out and typically in a foursome, right?

00:13:24.420 Instead, if you went by yourself, like, let's say they went all the way, cause you could

00:13:27.080 probably easily do it with two people, but just say it's all the way as one person per

00:13:30.960 group playing by themselves.

00:13:33.060 And so they're having one quarter of the amount of people out on the course.

00:13:36.220 Uh, this would be, there's no reason they could not do that.

00:13:39.900 Everybody knows you could go out and walk in a park by yourself and it's not an issue,

00:13:43.280 but they're doing these things on beaches, in, in the water, in, you know, at these drive-in

00:13:48.680 churches, they're doing this to send signals, right?

00:13:53.580 They're, they're wanting them, everybody to know that they're in control, that you're

00:13:58.040 not allowed to do these things if they're going to enforce it.

00:14:00.880 And they want these big examples because it scares other people off from doing anything.

00:14:04.780 Yep.

00:14:05.260 But that is not a good long-term strategy.

00:14:07.560 Again, we can knock this thing out.

00:14:08.940 Let's just say we're all perfect.

00:14:10.180 And this goes to zero.

00:14:11.400 Then what?

00:14:12.400 Right?

00:14:12.660 We have no cases in the entire country.

00:14:14.480 What happens the next day?

00:14:16.500 Because the next day, I know we have borders that are open from a country that's doing nothing

00:14:20.200 in Mexico.

00:14:20.900 I know we have that.

00:14:21.580 I know we'll still have flights coming in from countries all over the world who are

00:14:24.860 doing nothing.

00:14:25.540 We'll still have people eventually getting sick again and then starting this whole thing

00:14:31.080 all over again.

00:14:31.780 And we'll go through this entire process all over again.

00:14:34.040 If we don't come to some sort of sensible ground where we can look at these things and

00:14:38.680 say, okay, drive-in church is obviously okay.

00:14:42.700 Golfing by yourself is obviously okay.

00:14:45.980 And you know, when we have-

00:14:47.580 Driving is okay.

00:14:48.380 Driving.

00:14:48.580 And then when we have a breakout in this town, we will start from zero and say, okay,

00:14:53.600 we have a breakout here.

00:14:55.180 Let's do the contact tracing thing before it gets out of control.

00:14:58.280 Let's, you know, Americans want to do this, right?

00:15:01.600 Americans will be happy to say, look, if we have an outbreak, you know, we'll do the contact 0.89

00:15:07.580 tracing thing.

00:15:08.540 We will self-isolate.

00:15:10.300 We will keep people out of the way.

00:15:11.920 And then when we get past it, we can go back again.

00:15:14.840 What they don't want is this never ending, um, one size fits all nonsense.

00:15:19.960 And it's not surprising the Democrats would want that, right?

00:15:22.640 That's what they always want on everything.

00:15:23.840 Oh yeah.

00:15:24.020 That's what they always want.

00:15:24.940 Yeah.

00:15:25.720 Yeah.

00:15:25.880 This is, I mean, it is, it's obscene on what's going on.

00:15:29.460 The power grab.

00:15:30.480 We haven't even talked about the power grab of the fed.

00:15:33.200 I'm going to make a statement and I will back it up in a second.

00:15:37.340 There is no free market anymore.

00:15:40.620 We are no longer living in a country or a world that has the free market.

00:15:46.980 It is officially gone.

00:15:49.780 Now, does it come back?

00:15:52.420 Let me, let me explain what I mean by that in one minute.

00:15:55.880 And then you decide if it's coming back.

00:15:57.700 Never been a better time right now than to stock up on the food that you and your family

00:16:03.000 love.

00:16:04.100 Uh, I've been thinking about taking a truckload of ice cream, backing it up to the house

00:16:09.140 just to be on the safe side.

00:16:10.460 You never know.

00:16:11.180 You never know when some governor, ice cream is not essential.

00:16:15.420 Yes, it is, brother.

00:16:17.000 Yes, it is.

00:16:18.860 Now meat might be more essential, but they come from the same animal.

00:17:19.640 Station ID.

00:17:20.240 Okay, so there's no free market.

00:17:34.200 That's quite a statement to make.

00:17:36.540 No free market.

00:17:37.680 Well, um, when you have the Fed, now the central banks buying everything, all junk bonds, all bonds, everything, mortgages, everything.

00:17:54.560 Is there a free market?

00:17:59.120 Can there be a free market?

00:18:01.700 What, what is the stock market now?

00:18:04.400 I mean, I don't have money in the stock market and my financial advisors are probably like yours.

00:18:10.980 If you took yours out, oh, you know, that's going to be, well, that's going to really go up.

00:18:15.860 Yeah, yeah, it might, it might, it will be a melt up if it does, because it's not real anymore.

00:18:23.500 These are tax dollars.

00:18:25.920 These are fake dollars that are all now in the, how do you judge this?

00:18:31.340 How does anyone read any report and judge this?

00:18:34.860 We all know how is the stock market holding itself together and having boom days right now?

00:18:41.020 We, we, all of the companies are saying we have to revise, uh, all of our, all of our projections.

00:18:49.140 We don't know what they're projecting.

00:18:51.040 We don't know how they're impacted.

00:18:53.600 How is this working?

00:18:56.120 This is working because there's fake money, billions, sorry, trillions of dollars of fake money now in that stock market.

00:19:07.580 So how do you price anything?

00:19:10.000 How do you know what the price is of anything?

00:19:13.880 If it has federal backing, the price will stay up.

00:19:18.000 If it doesn't have federal backing, it will go down.

00:19:24.400 Okay, well, geez.

00:19:26.560 So then how does anything work?

00:19:28.900 I don't know if you, I don't know if you saw the latest, um, from JP Morgan Chase, but here you go again.

00:19:36.040 Um, so how much money has JP Morgan Chase given itself?

00:19:40.460 Because we know JP Morgan Chase is one of the fed.

00:19:43.380 That's one of the banks of the fed.

00:19:45.740 So, well, we don't know that, but we suspect that's the other thing.

00:19:49.280 They're, they're clamping down on secrecy.

00:19:52.200 Now on the fed, they're, they're taking bylaws and changing them.

00:19:57.140 So they don't have to have public meetings anymore on some of their plans.

00:20:01.700 That's a different story.

00:20:03.400 Um, JP Morgan Chase.

00:20:05.040 How many millions, I'm sorry, billions of dollars has JP Morgan Chase given itself through the fed?

00:20:15.120 This week, if you're looking for a new mortgage, you now for JP Morgan Chase have to have a credit score of at least 700 and have a down payment of at least 20% of the home's value.

00:20:30.620 So, okay, all right, so did, did you have 20% of the stuff that you just purchased JP Morgan Chase?

00:20:40.100 Because I know that was the problem.

00:20:43.260 You don't have a good credit score because you just were bailed out in 2008.

00:20:50.480 You don't have a good credit score.

00:20:52.660 You just went for a new bailout because you bought a bunch of stuff that you then couldn't pay for.

00:20:58.820 And do you have 20%?

00:21:01.280 No, you were required to have 10% and you allowed that to be relaxed for you.

00:21:09.620 It's Donald Trump has got to get a handle on these banks because they are, um, this is not going to end well.

00:21:18.540 There is no free market for the big players.

00:21:21.600 To Glenn Beck.

00:22:37.300 What's coming after coronavirus?

00:22:38.840 Well, you can find all the answers in Arguing with Socialists by Glenn Beck.

00:22:42.840 The book is out now in bookstores if they were ever open.

00:22:46.260 Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.

00:23:13.800 Andrea Bocelli, yesterday in Milan, leave this up for a second.

00:23:22.800 If you're happy to watch us on Blaze TV, if you saw this live yesterday, it was absolutely chilling.

00:23:33.180 It was just amazing.

00:23:35.780 He's standing in the middle of the main square in Milan.

00:23:40.420 It is completely deserted.

00:23:43.960 And as he's singing, they take different shots of different cities.

00:23:50.980 There's Paris, France.

00:23:53.620 And every place is just empty.

00:23:57.360 And they showed footage from all over the world of these major cities with no one on the streets.

00:24:07.400 It was, in some ways, I felt it was like a little, almost mini Super Bowl event where the world was trapped in their houses.

00:24:17.640 And millions around the world were watching this event, and all of us inside.

00:24:24.040 And I will tell you that I've been a fan of his, kind of.

00:24:37.040 I mean, I know who he is.

00:24:38.240 I like his singing, blah, blah, blah.

00:24:39.880 I don't have any of his CDs or anything.

00:24:41.460 But watching this, he's amazing.

00:24:50.200 I know I'm late to the party on that, but look at this London, completely empty.

00:24:56.740 Yesterday was Easter, and I don't know about how it was for your family, but it was kind of sad because not everybody was at the table yesterday.

00:25:16.480 We usually have family in from out of town, and it's a big thing for the family.

00:25:23.260 And so everybody was on Zoom yesterday, but it was, you know, my family goes, I don't know about you guys, but my family goes from almost complete meltdown to almost perfect.

00:25:38.200 I mean, like yesterday was an almost perfect day for the family.

00:25:42.140 It was really, really great.

00:25:44.620 You feel the same way, Pat?

00:25:46.040 Yeah, us too.

00:25:46.720 We had a really great, really great Easter.

00:25:49.160 You know, just did our own service in our home.

00:25:52.240 Yeah.

00:25:52.600 Social distanced from some of the family because my oldest son and his wife both work with elderly. 1.00

00:26:01.060 And so we thought, eh, let's not subject them to us.

00:26:04.580 And so.

00:26:05.540 Well, wait a minute.

00:26:06.580 What does that mean?

00:26:07.360 They work with, Stu works with the elderly too.

00:26:10.080 Us?

00:26:12.400 I mean.

00:26:13.980 He really does.

00:26:15.860 Yeah, he does.

00:26:16.880 He does.

00:26:17.620 So how was yours?

00:26:20.740 How was your Easter?

00:26:21.440 That was great.

00:26:22.760 You know, honestly, the weekends have been very nice in that I've done everything I can to not live in COVID mania world.

00:26:30.460 You know, going over models and death tolls and all of the other terrible things we have to do during the week.

00:26:37.400 It's a hell of an improvement when you're not thinking about it constantly.

00:26:40.760 It's hard not to though.

00:26:41.760 So I will.

00:26:43.140 It is.

00:26:43.820 We banned the talk of it last night at the dinner table.

00:26:47.400 We wouldn't.

00:26:47.940 We weren't going to talk about it.

00:26:49.000 Although, you know, some members were upset because we painted these these wooden Easter eggs with the grandkids.

00:26:57.780 And we painted them and then Cheyenne took them and wrapped them in a napkin.

00:27:02.040 If you go to my Instagram page, you'll see them wrapped them in a napkin.

00:27:05.600 So they look like the face of, you know, like a bunny with the napkin being the ears.

00:27:10.840 And and so everybody painted something really nice and sweet and everything else.

00:27:15.380 But I painted I painted a horseshoe bat face on one and there was a Donald Trump egg.

00:27:25.180 There was a fathead Fauci egg.

00:27:27.520 I like that.

00:27:28.880 Yeah.

00:27:29.660 Yeah.

00:27:30.180 So it was it was not everybody's favorite at the table, but it was mine.

00:27:35.460 So I thought that was great.

00:27:37.580 What about fathead Fauci?

00:27:39.360 I mean, I think he's going to be he's he is he's heading for the fathead zone.

00:27:48.460 And you're so when you say fathead Fauci, this is what you said Trump will be calling him someday.

00:27:54.160 Or what was the what was your.

00:27:55.620 Yeah.

00:27:55.760 No, I said.

00:27:56.560 No, no, no.

00:27:57.040 I said if he disagreed with him, you know, people are like, oh, you know, Donald Trump, he's just being duped by Fauci.

00:28:03.660 No, he's not.

00:28:04.860 If he disagreed with him, he would be the first to call him fathead Fauci.

00:28:08.760 You know, that's what he would be called.

00:28:11.240 And and I think he is headed towards the fathead land.

00:28:16.840 He is headed towards that moniker.

00:28:19.440 Yeah.

00:28:19.680 With the president.

00:28:20.520 I think he's shown amazing restraint and he probably knows he can't do this, but but he hasn't fired him so far.

00:28:26.580 And, you know, there's there's been a lot of disagreement between the two of them.

00:28:29.920 Seemingly, I mean, Fauci is put on the spot by the press because they know he feels differently than the president.

00:28:35.180 So they try to get that out of him every single day.

00:28:37.660 And sometimes he gives in and and contradicts the president on what he's been saying.

00:28:42.480 And usually the president doesn't he doesn't put up with that.

00:28:46.720 But I think he if he fired Fauci at this point, he he would there would be a bloodbath with the media.

00:28:55.380 That's true.

00:28:55.900 I mean, I think, though, you know, he thought he's also defended the president a bunch of times publicly.

00:29:00.960 I mean, he has really backed him up, backed up his decision making on China and the early travel ban.

00:29:06.840 And the controversial comment from this weekend to me from Fauci wasn't even notable.

00:29:13.500 Of course, if we acted earlier and we knew the future, it would have been better.

00:29:17.540 Like, obviously, like that is not even a notable statement.

00:29:21.680 That's not what he was saying then, though, when he was saying it was just kind of irritating.

00:29:25.440 No, but I mean, I think he's saying in hindsight, right with 2020 hindsight, we all know we could have improved certain things.

00:29:32.160 But we didn't know those things at the time, including Fauci.

00:29:34.760 If we were to shut down the country last October, there would probably be less death.

00:29:39.240 Exactly.

00:29:39.820 Yeah.

00:29:40.140 Could we instead of just banning flights from China, ban them from Europe earlier?

00:29:45.920 Sure.

00:29:46.180 Sure.

00:29:46.480 Sure.

00:29:46.920 Could we have, you know, required more, you know, aggressive measures when it comes to producing tests earlier?

00:29:56.400 And there's a million things we could have done better.

00:29:58.840 We didn't know at the time it was going to turn out like this.

00:30:01.820 You know, or did anyone else?

00:30:03.320 Let me tell you something.

00:30:04.340 I am.

00:30:04.960 I am so sick.

00:30:05.960 You can't have it both ways.

00:30:08.020 You can't have it both ways.

00:30:09.520 They all blasted him as a racist when he banned flights from China.

00:30:15.460 Sure.

00:30:15.700 When he banned Europe.

00:30:17.780 How dare him do that?

00:30:19.740 The these are allies of ours.

00:30:21.760 All of this crap.

00:30:23.160 You can't have it both ways.

00:30:25.680 You can't.

00:30:26.460 They are not worth your time in discussing it.

00:30:29.560 It's just not.

00:30:31.020 And yet they get it both ways.

00:30:32.260 The media, the mainstream media gets it both ways.

00:30:34.460 So frustrating.

00:30:35.100 It is frustrating.

00:30:36.200 I can't take it.

00:30:37.400 No.

00:30:37.640 You know what?

00:30:38.060 I don't think that, you know, I, I, I think they have so discredited themselves that nobody's

00:30:44.180 really paying attention to them anymore.

00:30:46.000 Yes.

00:30:46.340 Their followers are their, their tribe, if you will.

00:30:49.740 And the Democrats who are just locked in this, you know, crazy town of, of Trump derangement

00:30:59.140 syndrome, which is more real than it's ever been.

00:31:03.420 I mean, you know, it was, it was almost like a political theory before.

00:31:08.440 This is dangerous, way, way dangerous.

00:31:11.680 Now they are, they are standing against things just because it's Donald Trump and people can

00:31:18.840 die.

00:31:19.760 People can die from what they're doing.

00:31:21.720 It's, it's, uh, it's shameful.

00:31:24.160 Absolutely shameful.

00:31:25.420 We should be having a conversation right now about how to open the nation back up.

00:31:32.660 Oh yeah.

00:31:32.860 They don't have any intention of doing it.

00:31:34.620 They don't want to do it because they know that will help Donald Trump.

00:31:38.020 They know a good economy or an economy at this point will be good for Donald Trump.

00:31:45.640 Yeah.

00:31:45.740 And so they just don't want it.

00:31:47.920 Instead, they're talking about rolling shutdowns for another 18 months.

00:31:51.380 Come on.

00:31:52.760 That's why I was so grateful to see governor Abbott this weekend say that he has a plan.

00:31:58.780 They got a plan to reopen for business and they're working.

00:32:01.700 So they're not some rogue state out doing this.

00:32:04.180 They're working with the administration on how to reopen Texas within a really short amount

00:32:09.500 of time.

00:32:10.620 You know, I, I don't understand, um, how you can't, how you can't say, look, I want to

00:32:17.740 work with business and I want to work with the medical community and they have opposite,

00:32:24.360 uh, desires.

00:32:26.920 One, if you're talking about the economy, you're talking about the death of the economy.

00:32:31.940 Their job is to make sure there's an economy. 0.99

00:32:35.280 The, the medical community is making sure that there's no death.

00:32:39.660 Okay.

00:32:40.740 Well, we're going to have to compromise here because we can't have both of these.

00:32:46.540 So we need to find a line and that's the president's job and every governor's job to look at those

00:32:53.980 two and say, you know what?

00:32:55.820 Okay.

00:32:56.340 I think we're going to kill more people, literally kill more people.

00:33:01.840 If we don't open this economy back up, suicides, uh, just malnutrition, not being able to go

00:33:11.120 see the doctor because you don't have insurance.

00:33:13.760 You don't have a job, all of that stuff comes into play with people's health.

00:33:19.200 If you don't open the economy at some point, gang, we have to go back to work and it's going

00:33:25.640 to be scary, especially apparently if you're a progressive, it's okay.

00:33:31.180 You're going to be okay.

00:33:33.280 You know, some people will get sick and it might be you, but you know what?

00:33:37.580 You've been sick before.

00:33:39.960 I don't, I don't get it.

00:33:42.460 I know.

00:33:42.940 I know if the, if, if the death rate was 40% or something, you know, that's a different

00:33:49.040 thing, but it's rare for people to die from this.

00:33:52.240 If we were even talking smallpox, you know what I mean?

00:33:55.620 Yeah.

00:33:56.000 You would, you would understand it.

00:33:57.820 This is this, the numbers have, I think the numbers have been wrong from the get go myself.

00:34:05.320 Um, maybe this is because, uh, maybe we've gone from 1.5 million dead to 60,000 dead because

00:34:13.960 of this.

00:34:14.380 I know this has made a big impact that big of an impact.

00:34:18.900 Um, but I know it's made an impact.

00:34:23.720 Now let's, let's, let's see some numbers here.

00:34:27.820 Let's see some actual facts on things.

00:34:30.980 You know, we have enough data.

00:34:32.820 I'd like to know what data are you using to decide when we go back to work?

00:34:40.360 What, what, who's, who's, you know, who's giving me the tripwires?

00:34:45.540 Who's giving me the data points?

00:34:47.280 What are you looking for?

00:34:49.740 Because if we could come up with that, then we can have, you know, uh, an intelligent conversation

00:34:55.820 right now, it just seems like, I don't know, who do you believe fathead Fauci or Donald Trump?

00:35:01.480 Right.

00:35:01.640 And that, and that's a problem, right?

00:35:02.900 I'm hoping this, what we get out of Greg Abbott and here in Texas is like a plan of like,

00:35:06.640 okay, let's, let's look at this.

00:35:07.840 When there's this many cases in this area, we may need to take X, Y, and Z steps.

00:35:12.700 That sort of makes sense.

00:35:14.140 Like, so people can understand what's coming.

00:35:15.840 They kind of understand what the, what the outline of the plan is.

00:35:20.540 I mean, cause there's this idea that like, and you mentioned it, Glenn, the president,

00:35:24.420 it's the president's decision.

00:35:26.520 Yeah.

00:35:27.500 It's not Fauci's decision, right?

00:35:29.540 Fauci doesn't make these decisions.

00:35:31.160 He makes recommendations and quoting Fauci, basically his, what he said earlier was, I

00:35:37.400 don't have to think about the economy.

00:35:40.120 It's not his gig.

00:35:41.180 His gig is not to balance the disease versus the economy.

00:35:44.280 That's the president's job.

00:35:45.700 Yeah.

00:35:45.940 And there's like this criticism and the governors and the governors, right.

00:35:49.840 If the president looks at this with any sort of weight on the future of our civilization,

00:35:57.540 right.

00:35:57.760 When it comes to economically, which he has to, which he has to, then he's looked at as,

00:36:02.960 Oh, he wants old people to die.

00:36:04.560 Now.

00:36:04.880 Yes.

00:36:05.180 Obviously we all realize that if we put the speed limit at four, we would have a lot less

00:36:12.040 traffic accidents and deaths.

00:36:13.740 Right.

00:36:14.700 But we can't do that.

00:36:15.580 There's a balance that we come up with and try to find, and that's what we have to deal

00:36:19.400 with here.

00:36:20.240 We, you know, this initial moment of shutting this stuff down as much as it sucks, it gives

00:36:25.160 us a time to build up the sort of medical background, you know, like masks and all that other stuff

00:36:30.520 gives us an opportunity, which we've used, I think it gives us a chance to test things

00:36:34.600 like hydro hydroxychloroquine and all of these other things.

00:36:37.880 We get down the line and buy ourselves time towards something that can solve this long term.

00:36:42.580 But this is not an, we can't do this forever.

00:36:45.840 It's obviously ridiculous.

00:36:47.320 And the, the, the media, I think you said this earlier, Glenn, with the governors, they

00:36:51.500 want Trump to make this decision.

00:36:52.600 So they're not held accountable for it.

00:36:54.540 So if it goes poorly and we open up the economy and people go back and get sick, then it's Trump's

00:36:59.600 fault, not theirs.

00:37:00.820 And I don't think Trump should make the decision to open the economy.

00:37:04.340 He should say, here is the guideline.

00:37:06.700 Here's the guideline that we recommend.

00:37:08.720 And that's what Pence said that they're doing.

00:37:11.140 Here's the guideline.

00:37:12.000 He said, we need this.

00:37:13.720 According to the CDC, who is advising Pence, we need to understand the spread of the virus.

00:37:20.720 We need to strengthen public health infrastructure, prepare our hospitals and other medical facilities

00:37:26.960 and foster a belief among Americans that it is the right time to do this.

00:37:31.560 So basically what they're saying is when we have enough masks for everybody, when we have,

00:37:38.780 when we have some sort of medical, you know, clues on how we can fight this thing, then

00:37:45.460 we can start looking at opening it.

00:37:47.440 I think we're close to all of that.

00:37:49.480 By the way, I'm running really late.

00:37:50.780 I got to take a break.

00:37:51.560 Thank you, Pat, for dropping by.

00:40:20.560 State rep, Karen Whitsitt.

00:40:22.980 She is serving her first term representing the 9th House District.

00:40:28.120 It encompasses parts of the city of Detroit and Dearborn.

00:40:32.340 She is, you know, she's a, you know, a strong union supporter.

00:40:38.960 She's a community advocate, organizer. 0.82

00:40:43.800 And, and she's a fan of Donald Trump now because she said, he saved my life.

00:40:51.460 She's brave enough to say this.

00:40:53.520 She may be looking for a new gig. 1.00

00:40:55.260 But we wanted to talk to her.

00:40:58.340 She's up in one minute.

00:41:00.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:02.200 So, on top of hopefully still having a job, you're also a full-time chef, full-time school teacher, and a full-time fight referee.

00:41:15.320 Holy cow. 0.89

00:41:16.180 I'd imagine if your house is anywhere near as crazy as mine is right now, you're exhausted to the bone on most days because you're, you're wearing all of the hats.

00:41:26.960 And, and if my kids ask me why one more time, why, why do I have to, why do I, well, I don't want to.

00:41:35.340 Oh my, I think I'm going to lose my mind.

00:41:38.700 Anyway, right now, you cannot also play the cop, the internet cop.

00:41:44.180 I've been talking to you about Norton 360 for a while right now.

00:43:00.380 State Rep Karen Witsett is with us now.

00:43:03.720 She's a Democrat from Michigan.

00:43:06.920 You are a brave, brave soul.

00:43:10.480 Karen, welcome to the program.

00:43:13.720 Well, thank you very much.

00:43:15.000 I don't think it's brave just to simply tell the truth.

00:43:17.280 Well, I don't know.

00:43:20.120 I don't know.

00:43:21.260 I don't know anymore.

00:43:22.680 I used to believe that you were right, but I'm not sure.

00:43:26.860 So tell me about your experience with COVID.

00:43:32.360 What was it like to have it?

00:43:35.680 It was it was hell.

00:43:38.720 It scared the mess out of me.

00:43:40.500 I went from thinking I only had a sinus infection to maybe a touch of pneumonia to simply wondering if I was going to live.

00:43:49.900 And I didn't have a whole lot of time to think about what to do, because when it comes upon you and it's really hitting you and you go from zero to 100 with it, you have trouble breathing.

00:44:01.440 Your breathing becomes extremely labored.

00:44:03.780 You feel your lungs filling up with fluid.

00:44:06.160 You can't walk even from your living.

00:44:08.180 Well, for me, from my living room to my bedroom.

00:44:10.820 You can't really think very clearly.

00:44:13.360 You don't have a lot of time to figure out what it is that you're going to do, because the hours are very pressing and the minutes are very pressing.

00:44:20.020 So you need to figure out what you're going to do, and you need to do it fast.

00:44:24.780 How long did it take you from first signs to I've got to go to the hospital?

00:44:34.060 I've been quarantined since March 12th, and first signs were really that weekend.

00:44:42.580 And like I said, I thought I had a sinus infection and pneumonia.

00:44:45.140 But when it started really hitting me bad, where I didn't know what I was going to do, because the hospitals near me were actually full to capacity.

00:44:54.880 I had that was on March 31st, and that was also the day that my husband and I got tested.

00:45:01.140 So literally after getting tested, I started declining rapidly downhill that day.

00:45:08.280 And did your husband have it as well?

00:45:11.800 Yes, he tested positive as well.

00:45:13.700 And he experienced that at a huge bad cost.

00:45:17.240 Yeah.

00:45:18.980 Yeah.

00:45:19.300 So it didn't hit him like it hit you?

00:45:22.940 No, it didn't hit him like me, but this is something that can definitely take out a family, which it did with my cousin, Cheryl Fowler.

00:45:29.520 And she lost her husband and her father-in-law, and she's had two kids that tested positive.

00:45:36.560 Oh, my gosh.

00:45:37.440 And how are they?

00:45:40.060 She is out of the hospital.

00:45:41.200 How are the kids?

00:45:42.040 She's at home.

00:45:42.940 The kids are doing well, but thank God that they have my doctor.

00:45:47.360 But once again, we're back to having to use your name as a state representative, which is completely wrong and sickens me to my son in order for people to get care.

00:45:58.100 How do you mean?

00:45:59.180 That's how you...

00:45:59.820 How do you mean you have to use your name?

00:46:01.540 That's how you're getting care, is my...

00:46:05.960 I use my name.

00:46:09.720 That sickens me to my son.

00:46:10.220 You mean to get into the hospital or to get treatment?

00:46:14.340 To get treatment, to get anything that you need.

00:46:17.700 And that sickens me.

00:46:19.120 That disgusts me.

00:46:20.240 And that's why today, I'm thankful to say, and I'm happy to announce on your show, that I am going to meet with, hopefully, the president, but I'm definitely meeting with the vice president, and that I can come back to Detroit State of Michigan with some resources for us.

00:46:36.860 What are the resources your state needs?

00:46:43.220 We need everything from testing kits to PPE.

00:46:48.740 We're looking at the fact that our jails, our prisons, are not being tested.

00:46:55.720 We're looking at the fact that our sheriffs and the people who work in the prisons are not getting what they need.

00:47:01.300 They're not being tested.

00:47:03.200 They are sick.

00:47:04.400 We have people that are walking out of the hospitals, our nurses and our doctors, and our staff that are walking out because they don't have the necessary PPE that they need.

00:47:13.740 We have our senior citizen buildings that are just nothing but a hot dead, and these seniors are suffering. 1.00

00:47:19.340 We still have water shutoffs here.

00:47:21.240 We still have pipes that need to be connected back to home.

00:47:24.920 Our seniors are suffering.

00:47:26.220 They are not getting the food that they need because they fall in between the cracks where no one can deliver food to them, and they can't go and pick it up.

00:47:36.420 We have people that are in my community that do not have a doctor to get a prescription in order to even get the test.

00:47:44.080 My cousin's husband was turned away over four times, and he died at home.

00:47:48.400 My cousin herself was turned away over three times.

00:47:53.440 Their father-in-law was turned away and died.

00:47:57.340 This has to stop.

00:47:59.720 This is unreal of what we're living here, and we're in Detroit, and we have a governor that is not helping us.

00:48:07.400 This is our reality.

00:48:08.900 So, Karen, you got, you were treated with hydroxychloroquine.

00:48:22.560 Yeah.

00:48:24.140 And you credited that for saving you and credited the fact that you even knew about it to Donald Trump.

00:48:34.600 Yeah.

00:48:35.480 Yeah.

00:48:35.900 I was familiar with this, though, because I do have Lyme disease.

00:48:40.300 But if it wasn't for the president trumping, literally trumping the governor, because she put out an executive order that day, that day I did not have access to the medication.

00:48:56.160 So how many other people did have access to that medication and lost their lives that day?

00:49:00.540 So how did you get the medication?

00:49:05.640 If she banned it, how did you get it?

00:49:09.260 It wasn't banned.

00:49:10.900 The executive order that was put into place was misinterpreted, and it left all doctors and pharmacies scrambling.

00:49:17.940 Thank God.

00:49:19.020 Oh, my gosh.

00:49:19.860 The doctor that I was able to call understood.

00:49:23.380 But my first doctor, the one who ordered the test, did not understand the executive order at all.

00:49:29.100 I contacted him.

00:49:31.120 I tried to explain it, and I sent him the executive order and told him that he is misinterpreting it.

00:49:36.020 I contacted state representative Annette Glenn.

00:49:39.400 She contacted him on the Republican side.

00:49:42.000 She contacted him and told him that he was misinterpreting the law.

00:49:45.620 The lieutenant governor's office contacted him and told him that he was misinterpreting the law.

00:49:51.140 I still could not give him to write the prescription.

00:49:53.460 He told me he would have to wait until tomorrow.

00:49:55.180 And I told him tomorrow I'll be dead.

00:49:56.760 So, has that cleared up now?

00:50:02.560 Are your doctors prescribing it now?

00:50:06.120 No.

00:50:06.940 They're still not.

00:50:07.900 No.

00:50:08.300 No.

00:50:09.220 It's still a hot mess.

00:50:10.740 No.

00:50:11.220 It is not cleared up.

00:50:14.720 No, sir.

00:50:15.720 Why?

00:50:16.420 What is going on?

00:50:20.620 Why is this?

00:50:22.040 We are a major city.

00:50:24.520 We have a mayor.

00:50:25.720 Mayor Mike Duggan, who is nuts.

00:50:28.640 You couldn't ask for a better mayor for a time such as this, who has ran DMC hospitals.

00:50:34.180 He just needs what he needs to do the job that needs to be done.

00:50:38.600 And he doesn't have what he needs.

00:50:43.220 Karen, when are you going to Washington to meet with the vice president and the president?

00:50:51.300 I'll leave today.

00:50:52.480 My husband and I will leave today.

00:50:54.000 Hopefully, I will be seeing him.

00:50:56.540 The plan is tomorrow.

00:50:58.200 And hopefully, I will be coming back here with some resources.

00:51:01.780 Because we're in desperate need.

00:51:03.600 I can't cry out any more than what I'm crying out for what we need.

00:51:07.840 I don't have time to play politics.

00:51:10.040 This is not the time for that.

00:51:11.680 So, about re-election and campaigning and being a Democrat and a Republican, that means nothing.

00:51:17.820 That means nothing.

00:51:19.000 When you have nobody here in the city left living.

00:51:23.800 What does that matter?

00:51:24.760 I think you're fantastic.

00:51:30.400 I can't care about any of that crap.

00:51:38.280 That means nothing.

00:51:39.180 That's just garbage.

00:51:40.400 Karen, after you meet with them, could we...

00:51:48.400 I'm sorry, what?

00:51:51.140 I'm great at working on the other side of the aisle.

00:51:53.520 You know, I haven't even had time to even celebrate the fact that I got my first law through as a freshman.

00:51:58.320 My first TA for MISTA, increasing $4.3 million for low-income housing to $5 million.

00:52:05.220 But it doesn't matter.

00:52:06.320 Because we need PPE.

00:52:10.180 That's neither here nor there at this point.

00:52:16.680 Karen, after you meet with the president and vice president, could we have you back on?

00:52:21.320 I'd like to hear, because I'd be shocked if they don't respond to your plea.

00:52:25.220 And I'd love to hear how that meeting went.

00:52:31.360 Absolutely.

00:52:32.380 Because, I mean, this is imperative.

00:52:37.260 How can we help as an audience?

00:52:42.780 How can we help you?

00:52:45.800 Just keep doing what you're doing and getting the word out and calling and messaging and doing whatever it is.

00:52:54.700 That you guys do on Twitter and social media and looking to know that we're in a hot day.

00:53:02.420 You know, this is not a time for politics.

00:53:05.660 This is not the time.

00:53:07.920 Through the Democrat-Republican thing.

00:53:10.420 This is about people's lives.

00:53:12.700 Lives need to be saved because lives are being lost every day.

00:53:16.340 That number that you see on your television, those are people.

00:53:20.000 It's not a number.

00:53:22.600 And the president cannot do what he needs to do if he doesn't know what needs to be done.

00:53:28.640 So stop putting blame where it doesn't belong.

00:53:32.440 Place blame where it needs to be placed.

00:53:35.040 Let's get this done, people.

00:53:36.900 We are in this together.

00:53:38.220 Stop saying we're in this together and not be in it together.

00:53:41.280 Let's do this.

00:53:42.360 State Representative Karen Whitsett.

00:53:48.920 Thank you, Karen.

00:53:50.020 I appreciate it.

00:53:51.360 And best of luck.

00:53:52.700 We'll keep you in our prayers.

00:53:53.820 And I urge every member of the audience to tweet to the president and the vice president, you know, that congratulations on putting politics aside and these guys meeting and and encourage the White House.

00:54:10.680 I don't think you're going to need it.

00:54:11.880 I think you're I think you're going to get it, Karen.

00:54:13.880 He has not turned anybody down that I know of yet when he understands the problem, at least according to Gavin Newsom.

00:54:20.600 He is there and you get what you need.

00:54:23.620 So I appreciate your phone call, Karen.

00:54:26.320 We'll talk to you again later this week.

00:54:28.120 God bless you.

00:54:36.640 Don't you feel good after hearing somebody like that?

00:54:39.460 I mean, somebody who just willing to say what's what she believes is true and not care about anything else.

00:54:44.680 Yes, that's very satisfying.

00:54:46.300 Just so satisfying.

00:54:48.480 All right.

00:54:49.180 You know, I I want to talk to you here about LifeLock.

00:54:56.240 You know, your mom used to tell you that you were special and everything.

00:54:59.800 And yeah, our moms were lying to us for the most part. 0.65

00:56:15.280 Station ID.

00:56:15.780 Stu, if you can get somebody to to reach out to Mercury One, let's see if we can get some PPEs up to some of these Detroit hospitals for Mercury One.

00:56:40.220 I know Mercury One has been providing PPEs.

00:56:45.500 We got them on an emergency call to, where was it?

00:56:50.800 New Orleans just last week.

00:56:52.580 I think 10,000 PPEs from Mercury One.

00:56:56.120 Let's see if we can help Detroit out as well.

00:56:58.760 We're really struggling.

00:57:00.100 Everybody's struggling.

00:57:01.020 We're really struggling at Mercury One.

00:57:03.660 We really need your donations.

00:57:06.280 And I know money is tight.

00:57:08.060 I know you're worried about things, but $5 makes a world of difference.

00:57:13.040 And we are out in these communities.

00:57:16.120 And hopefully, if we have the cash, we'll be able to help them out and get some PPEs to them.

00:57:23.220 Or we'll find other ways to help Detroit.

00:57:25.920 But our brothers and sisters are in need all around the country.

00:57:29.840 And we are trying to be there.

00:57:31.840 MercuryOne.org.

00:57:33.040 That's MercuryOne.org.

00:57:34.720 Just go to the page and donate and get involved in any way you can.

00:57:40.560 What do you think the end of this is for Americans where they just can't, they're not going to stay in their house anymore?

00:57:48.100 What's the timeline on that, would you say?

00:57:50.620 I don't know.

00:57:56.860 It depends on where you are.

00:57:58.260 It'll be longer in New York because it was so frightening there.

00:58:02.680 It'll be shorter here in Texas because it's not frightening here.

00:58:06.460 So, I think it depends on where you are.

00:58:10.980 But I think, you know, by the, in four weeks, I don't care what's going on.

00:58:19.620 I mean, I'm just, my family is, we're, you know, we'll use our common sense.

00:58:24.900 But if it's like, if it's like it is or less than it is now in four weeks, I don't think you're staying at home.

00:58:34.660 Yeah, it seems like.

00:58:35.520 I mean that in Texas, we kind of, you know, you have to judge it wherever you are.

00:58:41.200 You know, these places where it's not so bad, they're not going to last very much longer.

00:58:45.260 They're going to think this, like, this is crazy and it hurts on the other end because if it does come back with a vengeance next fall, like it did in 1918, 1918, when it returned in that first fall, it was much, much worse.

00:59:02.240 Now, it doesn't mean that it's going to happen that way.

00:59:04.160 It mutated over the summer with the Spanish flu.

00:59:06.880 So, it may not mutate.

00:59:08.420 It may get weaker.

00:59:09.300 But if we do have it worse and we have to shut things down, if you've kept everybody too long in the house, they're not just, they're not going to go back.

00:59:20.580 They're not going to go back.

00:59:21.940 Yeah, it just won't.

00:59:23.120 One of the things I was thinking about this weekend as we went outside and, you know, around our home was it was just a beautiful day on, I guess, yesterday.

00:59:31.040 Really nice here in Texas.

00:59:32.560 In the 70s, perfectly clear.

00:59:34.720 It was really nice.

00:59:35.560 And, you know, in Texas, we have mild winters and we are used to kind of nice weather.

00:59:41.420 But you remember what it was like when we lived in the Northeast, right?

00:59:44.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:59:45.760 When those first days of warmth start popping their head out, it's like a celebration.

00:59:53.060 And I don't know how long people are going to be able, like, they're not going to want to miss that time, right?

00:59:59.300 So unless they're terrified out of their mind, like they are in New York City, right?

01:00:03.660 A lot of people are going to start skipping these these things coming pretty soon, I think.

01:00:09.500 I think as soon as the you know, as soon as spring really hits and you're not terrified, you're out.

01:00:15.860 You're out.

01:00:16.520 Because it's it's just it and it will help the economy, actually, because if you can time it with spring, if I'm not saying you you time it on the medical stats, obviously.

01:00:30.340 But if it is if it coincides with spring, you'll you will have a rush of people who do have money.

01:00:38.700 They'll go out and they'll want to be out.

01:00:40.880 I don't know how fast the restaurants come back.

01:00:43.780 I mean, sitting in a restaurant is going to be difficult for a while, I think.

01:00:47.480 Yeah, I know, like some of the areas like Hong Kong, one of the things they've done is open the restaurants, but minimize the amount of people in there, minimize the maximum amount at a table, do those sorts of things.

01:01:01.200 And I could see that starting, right?

01:01:03.220 Like I could see that being one of the things they do early.

01:01:05.640 The question, the problem with that is these these restaurants were already running on five percent profit margins.

01:01:10.060 You start saying, OK, well, only half the amount of people can come in.

01:01:12.940 I don't know how they survive anyway.

01:01:13.940 How do they make money?

01:01:14.760 Yeah.

01:01:15.140 Yeah.

01:01:16.120 Yeah.

01:01:16.480 I mean, the only thing you could cut down on your food costs because you'd be using half of food.

01:01:21.680 But you'd also have to cut down on your your staff cost as well, which you could.

01:01:26.340 But all your fixed expenses, the equipment and the rent and everything else, those are fixed, man.

01:01:33.520 How are you going to make it?

01:01:34.680 How are you going to make it?

01:01:36.660 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:03:03.200 This one comes from Ingrid.

01:03:04.620 She says, Glenn, thanks to Mercury One.

01:03:07.200 Thank you so much for helping our hospital in our area.

01:03:10.160 I live with my 79-year-old mother and 12-year-old son.

01:03:13.360 I have asthma.

01:03:14.800 There have been coronavirus victims at my son's school right before the governor closed them.

01:03:23.280 Now they're in my neighborhood and at my job, which I still am going in once a week because there are things we can't do.

01:03:30.020 At home.

01:03:31.080 Since my provider works for an organization who does coronavirus testing, he was able to order one just for peace of mind.

01:03:38.540 We've done the social distancing, et cetera, et cetera.

01:03:41.260 The last time we went to the store, whole walls of food were cleared out.

01:03:46.540 I started ordering my groceries.

01:03:48.120 Can't get everything from one place.

01:03:50.220 Groceries are more expensive than ever here in our area.

01:03:53.140 We're prepared, but we're low on low disinfectant wipes.

01:04:00.020 Thank you so much again for helping our community out with Mercury One.

01:04:04.820 Ingrid, you're welcome.

01:04:07.400 Glenn, back in 2010 or 11, I stumbled across a video of you giving a speech.

01:04:12.540 At the time, I was a liberal, bit of a centrist, but more left-leaning.

01:04:17.480 I registered Democrat.

01:04:19.260 Yes, we have cards.

01:04:20.540 I was what was called an agnostic religious view holder.

01:04:27.700 The whole the whole nine yards.

01:04:29.600 I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary.

01:04:32.420 I used to belong to real socialism.

01:04:35.640 Hasn't been tried yet.

01:04:37.020 A leftist friend of mine, although we didn't call him leftist at the time, posted a video of you to prove his point about something.

01:04:45.720 I can't even hope to remember now.

01:04:47.420 But what I do remember was that I couldn't understand what was wrong with what you were saying.

01:04:52.720 I challenged my friend about it.

01:04:54.700 A year after, he unfriended me.

01:04:56.740 You see, your video lit a spark in me that flickered for a long seven or eight years before roaring into a wild flame.

01:05:05.680 I turned back to Jesus in 2016.

01:05:08.440 I'm outspoken about the issues that are near and dear to my heart.

01:05:11.860 And if nothing, I just try to make the world better for my children.

01:05:15.500 Late in 2018, however, a man was nominated for a great honor.

01:05:19.420 But allegations that were made by people trying to deny this man his due process really pissed me off.

01:05:25.220 Fortunately, he was confirmed to SCOTUS and Justice Kavanaugh's struggle helped me turn that spark into an inferno.

01:05:35.160 Since then, I've been a raging conservative.

01:05:38.560 I have five little girls ages eight, five, seven and three.

01:05:43.360 Oh, wow.

01:05:44.180 Three year old twins.

01:05:45.420 I'm married to their mother.

01:05:46.980 She's the love of my life.

01:05:48.160 I'm trying to work out of this mess as I deliver for FedEx.

01:05:51.140 I'm putting money aside to get your book, both arguing with idiots and arguing with socialists, as well as a subscription to the blaze.

01:05:59.480 I'm wondering how long is the 30 percent off special going to happen if you start announcing it in advance when you're about to stop the deal.

01:06:08.100 I can I will make sure that I subscribe.

01:06:10.880 I tell you what, this came from Chris.

01:06:12.480 Chris, Chris, I'm going to send you the books and I'll make you a blaze subscriber and we'll give you like a, I don't know, free year or something.

01:06:21.480 And then you get on your feet, get past this mess and then you start subscribing.

01:06:26.940 Thank you so much.

01:06:28.620 Glenn, I've had something weighing on my mind for a couple of weeks and I can only help that this concern I'm going to lay out will find its way to you to digest.

01:06:36.240 I've always agreed with you wholeheartedly when you implored people to know who they are, because times are coming that will try men's souls. 0.72

01:06:43.840 I would often wonder what those times would look like exactly and what knowing who I am would translate to.

01:06:51.680 I suppose that I'll that will remain to be seen.

01:06:55.000 I did, however, get to witness what those things would look like to someone else.

01:06:59.480 That's someone being specifically Thomas Massey.

01:07:02.380 What I saw was a man who stood up in the face of possibly the darkest hour for the stability of our economy and the clear guidelines pertaining to the voting process of passing the stimulus package.

01:07:14.120 I must tell you, I was shocked when you didn't support him, but tried desperately to get him to change his mind and preserve himself to be able to fight for other things down the road.

01:07:23.980 It was that moment, that moment when a politician stood up in the face of the disgusting state of our political world and said, no, thank you.

01:07:32.380 We always find ourselves wondering, almost pleading.

01:07:34.940 Is there not one person who will stand up and say no?

01:07:38.420 That person who doesn't care about the personal price?

01:07:42.160 That was he.

01:07:43.620 Here he was.

01:07:44.740 The guy.

01:07:45.720 He gets it.

01:07:47.280 If it wasn't for an obvious I know who you are moment for someone, I dare not think I ever would.

01:07:52.660 Your initial take on this, however, really bothered me because you were promoting that he do nothing just to preserve himself and play the game.

01:08:01.940 That's exactly the slippery slope that the majority of our elected leaders sell their souls to a sort of weak need ends justify the means wishful thinking that they'll play the game and be the stand up guy when it really counts.

01:08:15.640 And they end up lost in the perverted world of politics time and time again.

01:08:19.560 My hopes and prayers are that you will realize the missed know who you are moment when it was in play view, plain view.

01:08:26.840 It's important that you realize this so you can continue to guide folks to be ready for theirs, not just to point out that you were wrong.

01:08:34.460 You seem it seems now a couple of weeks after the fact that you are more in its corner on hindsight.

01:08:39.600 That's great, but I think you do well to take ownership of the moment.

01:08:43.720 I feel you missed and maybe share your thoughts with your listeners about it.

01:08:46.660 I can tell you it's important to me and I looked forward to your leadership and humility.

01:08:51.180 Thank you for all your do.

01:08:52.520 All you do.

01:08:53.240 You are a winter soldier.

01:08:54.400 Mr. Beck.

01:08:55.100 Sincerely, Greg literal.

01:08:57.200 Greg.

01:09:00.940 Let me explain it.

01:09:03.000 I don't think I don't want to excuse it because perhaps it was a moment of of weakness.

01:09:10.820 I'm friends with Thomas Massey.

01:09:12.860 I like Thomas Massey.

01:09:14.160 He's close to me and I'm close to him.

01:09:17.420 And we agree on much.

01:09:19.460 And I did agree with his stance.

01:09:21.760 If you remember on that day, I said, I completely agree with you, but it's not going to change anything.

01:09:27.580 It's just going to get you hammered.

01:09:29.560 Um, and that is exactly what happened.

01:09:33.480 However, he was willing to pay that price.

01:09:36.980 I saw so few people that were willing to even stand up to even recognize that this was wrong.

01:09:44.980 Um, that I thought it would be best for him to sit it out because that day came and went and it was over.

01:09:54.620 And there was no chance of, of winning on that.

01:10:01.140 I am to the place.

01:10:03.280 And maybe again, this is weakness.

01:10:04.660 I don't know.

01:10:05.760 Uh, I'd like to hear your opinion, Stu, but I think I'm at this place to when we have to pick and choose our battles because there are so few soldiers on the field.

01:10:17.220 Uh, and I don't, I don't want one of them to pop their head up and, uh, and shoot when the target is too far away and they're never going to hit the, they're never going to hit the mark.

01:10:30.160 Um, I want to preserve the players that we do have, um, and do things more strategically.

01:10:37.580 Maybe that's wrong.

01:10:41.060 Uh, but I supported him then I was, I was texting between him, uh, the two of us off air that whole time.

01:10:48.960 Um, and he was explaining to me and I was explaining to him, but we have been friends, uh, then that day beforehand and after I haven't changed my support for him.

01:11:00.440 Um, uh, it was just the strategy of doing it.

01:11:05.300 That was certainly a long explanation as to why you hate freedom.

01:11:09.120 I don't know why you needed that long to say it.

01:11:10.960 Uh, you could have just said, I despise being free and everyone would have understood.

01:11:15.000 Yeah.

01:11:15.460 Um, well, I think you're right.

01:11:16.960 Um, so I, I think like, I definitely understand where you're coming from.

01:11:21.320 And as you said, it was very much, um, out of the, the idea that you really liked Thomas Massey and what he stands for.

01:11:27.560 Um, you know, I think, look, the problem here, when you talk about, he's going to get crushed, who is he getting crushed by?

01:11:33.760 I mean, the big issue was that Trump was tweeting about it, about how bad it was that they went to vote on this.

01:11:38.160 And it's like, we can't excuse that.

01:11:40.020 That's really a problem here.

01:11:41.200 I mean, the fact that Thomas Massey wanted a vote on $2.2 trillion is not a ridiculous request.

01:11:48.760 He wasn't even saying he was going to vote against it.

01:11:50.660 He just said he wanted some, he wanted to at least be, have people on record for it.

01:11:54.500 I don't think that's the type of thing that, um, we should be lighting up congressmen over.

01:11:59.380 It's the type of thing that we should have, uh, you know, that's something that we should look at as a positive year.

01:12:04.560 Cause you were right.

01:12:05.220 He did get lit up by it, but that's really the issue here, isn't it?

01:12:08.200 He shouldn't be getting lit up by asking for a vote for over $2 trillion.

01:12:11.460 So, I mean, I, while I, I understand what the, what the guy's saying in an email, I, you know, this is a, this is an issue where we have to look at this and say, I think, um, Massey did the right thing.

01:12:25.320 And, um, and if he's going to get thrown out of Congress because of that, I think he's comfortable with that outcome.

01:12:33.680 He is.

01:12:34.120 Which is, you know, I'm not as comfortable with that outcome because I know what he can and does accomplish.

01:12:41.900 Yeah.

01:12:42.200 I mean, he accomplishes a lot.

01:12:44.420 Hopefully this is one of those situations because there's been a mix of these.

01:12:47.360 Sometimes Trump gets really mad at a congressman for doing something and he holds it over their head for the rest of their lives.

01:12:52.980 Other times they're back in the good graces, you know, in a week when they do something.

01:12:57.180 Cause Massey will take a strong stand on Trump's side too, when Trump's alone and has done that several times too.

01:13:03.260 So maybe this is something that blows over.

01:13:05.440 I hope so.

01:13:06.140 But I, we've always asked congressmen to go there and do what they think is right.

01:13:11.320 And, um, I think the end of the day, you have to just respect that and, and, um, you know, realize that choosing your battles is part of this at some level.

01:13:21.580 But when you get to a point, this is the, if you're not going to stand up at $2.2 trillion without a vote, I don't know.

01:13:29.080 Why aren't you going to stand up?

01:13:30.380 I, you know, it didn't delay it at all.

01:13:33.420 It didn't delay it at all.

01:13:34.580 I'll just say too.

01:13:35.700 And, and, and, and even with the approval of it, they can't seem to get the money to the people anyway.

01:13:41.400 I know.

01:13:43.000 Well, here's where I stood on this, Stu.

01:13:45.320 And, and I'd like to hear where you were on this.

01:13:49.240 And if it's, if I'm just, if I've turned into this political nightmare on, on this particular occasion, um, I was looking at it politically, strategically, um, because I think we're at the, you know, we are at the end game now.

01:14:04.680 And there's only so many soldiers on the field and, um, you know, we don't have a free market anymore.

01:14:11.980 There is no free market.

01:14:13.100 The free market has been absorbed and purchased at wholesale by the federal reserve.

01:14:21.540 Um, you've got Congress, uh, slipping into madness and there is nothing more important, more important than the $2.2 trillion is the fact that Nancy Pelosi does not want to have any votes.

01:14:36.320 And, and, and I felt he made his point, but he was going to get slaughtered by Donald Trump.

01:14:44.860 And without Donald Trump, he's not going to make the impact.

01:14:49.040 He has foes on the right and he has foes on the left and he was completely alone.

01:14:56.760 Um, now as it turns out, and as it was, then it was the right thing to do, but who's going to fight that battle?

01:15:06.320 Does he have the credibility to now fight that battle long-term because she's still doing it?

01:15:14.060 She's still wanting to pass all of these bills without Congress voting on it at all. 0.91

01:15:19.360 That's got to stop.

01:15:21.680 So how do we get there?

01:15:23.420 I've tried to do my part by having him on the air to explain on that day.

01:15:28.560 He explained exactly what he was doing and I've had him on afterwards explaining what he did and, you know, what the fight is trying to make sure that we don't leave, lose a very valuable guy, uh, over nonsense.

01:15:43.960 Um, another, and I think that's, that's what it was.

01:15:47.340 It was a rush to get that money out.

01:15:49.260 And that's what made everybody blind that time.

01:15:52.800 This time, the money being rushed out is all political.

01:15:57.140 It's all political.

01:15:58.680 Yeah.

01:15:58.960 Another, another interesting solution to this would be, you know, Thomas Massey not being alone in Congress.

01:16:04.580 You know, it'd be nice if some of these other congressmen stood up and said, you know what?

01:16:08.340 Look, we agree.

01:16:10.080 I'm going to vote for this when we vote for it, but we've got to be on record.

01:16:13.520 We've got to at least be on record when we're going to spend more money than any other time in American history.

01:16:19.000 We at least have to have a vote on it.

01:16:21.240 Is that too much to ask?

01:16:23.320 And apparently to almost everyone in Congress, the answer to that was yes.

01:16:27.360 You know, that's not, that's not a good outcome.

01:16:29.480 And we need to at least, but you're right.

01:16:31.920 If Thomas Massey leaves, then there will be no one.

01:16:34.460 There'll be no one.

01:16:35.340 And you don't, and no one's willing to do it if, if Donald Trump is going to hammer them.

01:16:40.740 I mean, you have to build a coalition.

01:16:42.460 You just have to build a coalition and he's got to be part of it.

01:16:47.060 All right.

01:16:47.360 Let me take a quick break and tell you about real estate agents.

01:16:51.240 I trust right now, the media would have you believe that everywhere in America, it's just ravaged by the coronavirus as bad as New York City because they don't see beyond New York City.

01:17:01.280 But that is, it's just not true.

01:17:03.140 Lots of places have been affected, much less by the pandemic.

01:17:06.160 And there are very few places that are completely, you know, business as usual, but even fewer that are, are completely shut off.

01:17:16.860 The American economy is moving on.

01:17:19.560 And if you're in the market to sell your home, buy or both, you need to check out realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:17:26.560 This is a free service to you.

01:17:28.280 It's a company I started, I don't even know, five, six years ago because of all of the hassles and all of the headaches that go along with buying a house.

01:17:38.200 This is your largest investment.

01:17:39.620 And I didn't even know how, how do you find a good real estate agent?

01:17:42.960 You see the guy who's on the bus boards or, I mean, how do you do it?

01:17:47.980 Who do you hire?

01:17:49.680 Well, there is a system to it and there is a way to judge real estate agents.

01:17:54.120 And so we've gone out and we've done that.

01:17:55.840 We found the best agents all around the country and we would like to refer them to you.

01:18:00.720 It's a free service.

01:18:11.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:19.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:20.980 We're so glad that you tuned in today.

01:18:22.820 Um, Corbett Wall, uh, uh, is, uh, is a guy who's, who's not prone to hyperbole, uh, at all.

01:18:35.960 And he was boots on the ground attending a, uh, beef and hog auction in the U.S. last week.

01:18:43.920 And, uh, he cited today more than a dozen major pork, chicken, and beef processing plants

01:18:50.720 that are offline some weeks behind now.

01:18:55.580 In total, as many as 80 plus plants in the U.S. are offline or experiencing disruptions

01:19:01.080 due to COVID-19, mostly labor disruptions, workers infected or just calling in sick.

01:19:07.440 Um, he is, uh, uh, he is worried about the future of our protein.

01:19:17.020 Um, you know, you saw that meme going around where all of the vegan food was fine in the

01:19:23.280 stores.

01:19:24.340 It may, that may not be so, uh, in the coming months.

01:19:28.600 Uh, there are some real shortages, uh, that may be on our way if we can't get this thing

01:19:35.820 under control because of the meat industry.

01:19:38.900 We're going to talk about South Dakota and what they're doing about it, uh, coming up

01:19:44.840 next.

01:19:45.620 Some, I think, exciting news.

01:19:52.960 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:19:59.820 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:20:05.820 Hey, our Corona virus update more than just the numbers in one minute.

01:20:11.280 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:20:16.460 Okay.

01:20:16.960 You know, those little, you know, chicken little moments, the sky is falling.

01:20:19.960 The sky is falling.

01:20:22.120 Uh, yeah, I'm not sure it's a chicken saying it this time.

01:20:27.160 The sky is falling.

01:20:28.480 I mean, you'll understand in the Corona virus update here in just a second.

01:20:31.680 Uh, but there is no free market system anymore.

01:20:34.460 I was reading some stuff that I only half understood.

01:20:36.960 So I'm not even going to try to, uh, translate it, uh, and, and explain it yet, probably later

01:20:43.560 this week.

01:20:44.560 Um, but, uh, I I'm very, very concerned about the U S dollar and, and how all of this is

01:20:50.900 going to work.

01:20:51.400 And again, I'll talk about what the, the fed is doing right now.

01:20:55.860 There is no free market.

01:20:57.260 Um, and you, the taxpayer on the hook.

01:21:00.380 So all of this money that is being digitized, how, how does this work?

01:21:04.740 Can anyone explain how this works without using modern monetary theory?

01:21:12.200 Um, the answer is no, because that's what we're using right now.

01:21:16.460 And that is Weimar Republic stuff.

01:21:19.440 We have crossed the Rubicon.

01:21:21.500 I do not know how you go back.

01:21:24.480 Wait until you hear these stats in a minute.

01:21:26.860 Anyway, gold, it's going up in value.

01:21:31.800 Uh, Goldman Sachs said you should invest in gold right now.

01:21:36.560 Uh, the world is buying so much gold.

01:21:39.340 Central banks, everybody is buying so much gold that there's a shortage of physical gold

01:21:44.780 right now.

01:21:45.480 I've never heard of that.

01:21:46.920 But please call gold line right now, uh, call them.

01:21:52.760 If you, if you, uh, don't think you have the money, at least call them and talk to them

01:21:59.420 because they have a, a acquisition program where you can put X number of dollars toward

01:22:05.480 it every single month in your paycheck.

01:22:07.780 I mean, it's, it's an easy way to get into gold.

01:22:11.140 If you have some extra money, please do your homework and look into gold today.

01:22:16.720 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:22:24.860 Our coronavirus update.

01:22:26.840 Here are the numbers.

01:22:27.920 1.8 million up from 1.6 million confirmed cases worldwide.

01:22:34.340 Deaths worldwide, 114,000 up from 96,000 total confirmed recovered up, um, about 80,000.

01:22:45.220 The United States has 560,000 confirmed cases and 22,000 deaths.

01:22:52.440 That's quite a jump.

01:22:54.080 About 100,000 confirmed cases since Friday and a jump of about 6,000 on, uh, on Friday as well.

01:23:05.400 The U.S. now leads the world in both cases and deaths from COVID-19.

01:23:10.420 We now account for 30% of all confirmed cases, 20% of confirmed deaths globally.

01:23:18.080 For the first time in all of U.S. history, all 50 states are now declared disaster zones.

01:23:24.300 This is why everything is overwhelmed.

01:23:28.040 This has never happened before.

01:23:31.400 Should we cue the fat lady on the, uh, on the free market system? 1.00

01:23:37.520 The U.S. Federal Reserve is now purchasing approximately $625 billion per week in U.S. treasury bonds, U.S. municipal bonds, and corporate bonds.

01:23:52.740 So they're buying stocks, your city, and they're buying, uh, treasury bonds.

01:23:59.680 $625 billion per week, $1.2 trillion every two weeks.

01:24:07.780 I don't know.

01:24:09.420 Sounds like a problem.

01:24:11.380 At that rate of spend, the Federal Reserve will own all outstanding U.S. public debt, federal, and local debt by September or October of this year.

01:24:22.860 It will own all U.S. private and corporate debt by December.

01:24:47.480 The Federal Reserve is already, now, today, the largest single holder of U.S. government bonds of $20 trillion in outstanding U.S. debt.

01:25:01.820 The Federal Reserve owns approximately $5.7 trillion and is now adding $1 trillion in new bond purchases every two weeks.

01:25:11.440 This comes as the Bank of England skips the bond market entirely and is just printing new currency to fund U.K. expenditures directly.

01:25:23.240 This is modern monetary theory.

01:25:27.820 You don't have to have a way to pay for it.

01:25:31.200 You just print it.

01:25:33.240 As of this week, the Fed's Open Market Committee meeting, the Fed will also be willing to purchase so-called junk bonds from all U.S. companies that are in distress.

01:25:46.160 The Fed has also issued a new fund to buy U.S. mortgage assets from banks, pledging $200 billion per month to U.S. banks plus Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy distressed mortgages that become insolvent due to COVID-19.

01:26:04.560 The U.S. Federal Reserve is now officially the largest landowner in the world.

01:26:11.560 At this point, the only major asset in U.S. equity markets the Fed is not directly buying are U.S. stocks.

01:26:33.460 However, that's on the way.

01:26:35.500 Deutsche Bank said last week, because of what the Fed is doing, they're quoting, is no such thing as a free market anymore, end quote.

01:26:49.500 By the way, just a note on this, it is you, the U.S. taxpayer, that is responsible for all of this debt, not the Fed.

01:26:59.680 The Treasury, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, will make an equity investment in each Fed fund and is in the first lost position, making you, the taxpayer, responsible should any of these investments or underlying funds fail.

01:27:19.940 As such, the U.S. Treasury, not the Fed, is actually buying all of these securities and backstopping all of these loans.

01:27:29.520 The Fed is only acting as a banker and providing that financing.

01:27:37.540 You say we don't need to open up the economy?

01:27:41.820 Just think about that.

01:27:44.140 The U.S. could face rolling lockdowns and social distancing orders for 18 to 24 months, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve.

01:27:55.400 Without an effective therapy or vaccine for COVID-19, the U.S. economy could face 18 months of rolling shutdowns as the outbreak recedes locally and then flares up again.

01:28:07.080 The hunt for a vaccine continues a year, according to scientists, a year would be a miracle.

01:28:18.760 Kentucky churchgoers are not alone.

01:28:21.880 They were met with nails in the road and surveillance of license plates because the mayor decided there wasn't going to be any church services anywhere in Kentucky.

01:28:34.760 That's the governor, I should say, not the mayor.

01:28:38.000 He urged residents to remain indoors for the Easter holiday, and they are enforcing with state troopers and county sheriffs.

01:28:49.480 The mayor of the mayor of Louisville also came out and had draconian measures.

01:28:58.700 The DOJ to states, first amendment is still the first amendment.

01:29:05.420 A federal judge ruled that this weekend, an attorney general, William Barr, indicated the DOJ is monitoring state and local government actions related to limitations on religious services and will potentially prosecute local officials if they violate the civil rights of religious people.

01:29:27.440 Are our oil wars over?

01:29:30.860 Maybe, maybe not because of Mexico and is democracy the ultimate covid-19 victim? 0.67

01:29:40.860 France and Bolivia have postponed elections now.

01:29:43.640 Peru has handed its president broad new legislative authority.

01:29:47.940 Israel sharply ramped up the reach of its surveillance state.

01:29:52.680 The U.S., we're curtailing religious services and searching for out-of-staters door-to-door in some states.

01:30:00.480 While leaders around the world are fighting the spread of the coronavirus, they're also amassing sweeping new powers.

01:30:06.820 As legislatures limit or suspend activities in the name of social distancing, many of the norms that define our free market and our democracy, elections, deliberation, debate, checks and balances have all been put on indefinite hold.

01:30:23.300 The speed and breadth of the transformation is unsettling to political scientists all over the world, government watchdogs and rights groups.

01:30:34.220 Many concede emergency declarations and streamlining government decision making are necessary responses to the global threat.

01:30:41.940 But they question how readily leaders are going to give these powers up.

01:30:46.500 We've all put our economies on hold.

01:30:50.140 Can we have an open debate on when we bring those back?

01:30:54.780 We've also put democracy on hold.

01:30:57.680 Are we going to talk about bringing those things back as well?

01:31:02.040 Also, the cost of COVID-19 phase one and two bailout.

01:31:07.260 NASA's budget.

01:31:10.000 Matt, NASA's budget for the next 207 years, the cost of the four point seven trillion dollar bailout package equates to NASA's twenty two point six billion dollars that they get every year for the next 207 years.

01:31:26.860 The cost of the cost of the bailout, put in other words, is equal to fully funding six Mars landers, rovers, missions to the red planet every single day.

01:31:40.820 Just the phase two of the deal, two trillion dollars is seven thousand five hundred dollars per American or sixteen hundred five, sixteen thousand five hundred dollars per taxpayer.

01:31:53.640 Seeing that only half of our citizens pay taxes, no word yet on why it costs seven thousand five hundred dollars in actual taxpayer cost for each American to receive.

01:32:07.720 A one thousand two hundred dollar stimulus check.

01:32:10.920 We don't know.

01:32:13.600 There is something else that I want to I want to end with.

01:32:16.220 That is some good news.

01:32:17.700 In fact, let me take a quick break and then I'll come back and tell you some good news.

01:32:23.640 Have you ever taken a handful of your dog's food, you know, the kibbles and smelled it?

01:32:33.840 I mean, woof, is that bad?

01:32:38.240 What you're smelling is dead food.

01:32:40.540 This stuff gets sterilized so it can sit on a shelf in a store or in your garage for up to two years.

01:32:46.060 It has to be sterilized.

01:32:48.440 Makes sense for the dog food company, but it doesn't make a lot of sense for your dog, at least because all of the nutrients have been cooked out of it.

01:32:55.640 Anything alive that is good for an animal or good for you is all been cooked out of it.

01:33:01.320 Rough greens is something that I just started giving my dog, Uno, about a month ago, and it is really, really good.

01:33:07.420 It's not a dog food.

01:33:08.540 It's a supplement that you put on your dog's food, and it contains massive amounts of vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, even omega oils and antioxidants.

01:33:20.300 Rough greens.

01:33:46.160 10 seconds.

01:33:46.720 Station ID.

01:33:47.160 So I want to talk to you about something that happened on Friday.

01:34:09.060 I talked to the governor of South Dakota, Governor Noem, and just wanted to talk to her and see if there was anything we could do to help state get a lay of the ground and what's going on up there because they have real problems with their meat processing plants up there.

01:34:28.400 They have one of the biggest pork meat processing plants in the country, and I'm very concerned about food shortages coming soon.

01:34:38.300 We have plenty of beef and plenty of pork at the farm level.

01:34:42.640 We're just closing down all of the processing plants.

01:34:46.440 So getting it from farm to table may be difficult, and we may have a real protein shortage coming soon.

01:34:55.920 So I was talking to the governor, and she, in about 45 minutes, is making an announcement on something that I think she is going to get hammered on that I absolutely love.

01:35:13.140 Absolutely love.

01:35:14.380 I don't know how popular she is in the state, but, boy, she is becoming very popular around the country.

01:35:21.460 She is a woman who, as governor, has come out and said, we are not going to violate our constitution, either our state constitution or, quite frankly, our national constitution.

01:35:33.220 People have a right, and they have a right to gather, they have a right to do and live their lives.

01:35:39.480 She's like, we're not New York City, we're South Dakota.

01:35:41.960 And she said, we can figure this out as citizens.

01:35:45.320 You just have to social distance and yada, yada, yada.

01:35:48.580 Well, I was talking to her about several things, and one of them is the quick spread inside one of these processing plants.

01:36:01.680 And she said, you know, we've got to get this plant cleaned and the workers healthy and back online, because not only for our local economy, but also for the food supply in America.

01:36:18.140 And she started talking about how she's, what she's planning on doing and planning on announcing today.

01:36:25.460 And we're going to be monitoring it, and I'm going to be live tweeting that announcement here in just about an hour.

01:36:33.860 But I think you're going to really like, it's time somebody does something.

01:36:38.860 It's time somebody does something, and they are with their health care.

01:36:43.380 And I just, I love it.

01:36:45.680 I can't wait for her to announce it, and we'll talk about it on the air tomorrow.

01:36:48.640 Or you can follow me on Twitter, and you'll hear it.

01:36:52.240 That's convenient.

01:36:52.820 I already do follow you on Twitter.

01:36:54.280 I'm excited about that.

01:36:56.440 Are you?

01:36:57.420 You can tweet me all the details.

01:36:59.900 Okay.

01:37:00.440 All right.

01:37:00.920 I will.

01:37:01.420 Will you post an instant reaction photo with each tweet, like how you're reacting to the news?

01:37:07.760 Like, wow, that was surprising.

01:37:09.220 And, oh, no, look at that.

01:37:10.660 That's bad news.

01:37:11.620 That's good news.

01:37:12.580 So I'll know how to interpret it.

01:37:14.180 Well, I'll try to use the emojis, but I want to use them sparingly because the company that makes the emojis, did you see this?

01:37:22.200 I didn't know there was a company that makes them.

01:37:24.200 No.

01:37:24.840 But apparently there is a company that makes, I guess, the official emoji.

01:37:27.940 I don't know.

01:37:28.420 But they have said because of coronavirus, there will not be any new emojis for the next year.

01:37:34.900 Oh, no.

01:37:36.080 Oh, gosh.

01:37:37.000 I mean, when we talk about shutting down the economy, there's certain things that we cannot shut down, which is new emoji generation.

01:37:45.320 You know, I see silly me.

01:37:47.660 I thought, you know, it wouldn't be that hard, that hard to add another yellow face to something, you know, or another hand gesture.

01:37:58.140 But apparently it's much more complex, Stu, than you and I ever thought.

01:38:03.900 Well, I hope they didn't have to lay off the woke department that can inform them when they have not shown enough shades of color or have maybe identified someone by a gender when they're not supposed to in the emoji.

01:38:15.420 Well, they may have, because I think the New York Times is using all of those people, because the woke department, of course, so awake on Joe Biden at the at the New York Times that they they they caught them doing something very, very unwoke.

01:38:36.740 And and and that is they they tweeted that in their investigation, the Times found no patterns of sexual misconduct by Mr.

01:38:48.480 Biden beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.

01:38:55.160 I'm sorry.

01:38:55.480 But other than that, what was that last part you said there?

01:38:59.120 But beyond the Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr.

01:39:02.460 Biden.

01:39:03.040 OK, I thought you had the hugs, kisses and touching.

01:39:06.480 Something that women previously said made them uncomfortable. 1.00

01:39:09.080 OK, so how would that's just a disclaimer?

01:39:11.540 That's like, yeah, that's just like not available in Alaska and Hawaii.

01:39:15.320 Right.

01:39:16.060 You know what I mean?

01:39:17.640 That's what that is.

01:39:18.760 Well, how would you describe a pattern of behavior?

01:39:23.120 Could you could you have a pattern behavior without the previously discussed items?

01:39:27.720 Is it possible to have a pattern if you have not discussed previously other items?

01:39:32.720 Well, yes.

01:39:33.260 Same.

01:39:33.860 OK.

01:39:34.600 All right.

01:39:34.980 So, yes, the New York Times corrected it.

01:39:37.600 OK, they came out and corrected it because that was their tweet and they corrected it.

01:39:41.160 And so now it just says the Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr.

01:39:45.020 Biden.

01:39:48.220 Did they really?

01:39:49.120 There's no there's no.

01:39:50.840 That's it.

01:39:51.740 That's they just took that second line out, you know, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching

01:39:56.740 that women previously said made them uncomfortable. 0.99

01:39:59.360 They took that part out.

01:40:00.780 Incredible.

01:40:01.180 I mean, incredible.

01:40:02.880 You're exactly right about the pattern.

01:40:04.800 Well, there.

01:40:05.740 What do you mean you haven't found a pattern?

01:40:06.960 You've got a pattern here.

01:40:08.680 The hugs, the kisses and the touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.

01:40:13.540 That's the pattern.

01:40:15.140 How are there?

01:40:15.880 Of course, there is no pattern when you're just looking at this one.

01:40:19.960 There can't be a pattern.

01:40:21.320 You know what?

01:40:21.640 You're looking at one thing like that's just that's that's inside of the word pattern.

01:40:27.660 It tells you it can't just be one thing.

01:40:32.480 And I will say this, too.

01:40:34.740 I read the whole article and not just the tweet and the article, which is extensive, has none

01:40:40.500 of the narrative flair we've learned to to understand from these incidents where it's like she walked

01:40:47.560 into a room as the as the night fell, you know, into into darkness, the cold steel on the desk as

01:40:56.700 she was manhandled.

01:40:58.020 None of that.

01:40:58.960 It's just like we asked the Biden campaign.

01:41:01.920 They said that didn't happen.

01:41:03.460 We talked to someone who works for the Biden campaign.

01:41:05.700 They also said they had never heard of such a thing.

01:41:08.620 It's all just like fact response, fact response.

01:41:11.320 Very boring, which very well might be the way they're supposed to write a story like that.

01:41:15.920 However, but they never do time.

01:41:19.500 Never, ever do that.

01:41:22.200 But they didn't find a pattern here.

01:41:25.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:41:28.420 Amazing.

01:41:29.920 Just amazing.

01:41:31.320 All right.

01:41:35.700 Hustler Lawnmower is fantastic.

01:41:39.660 Now, I will say it is not something that you give your your nieces and nephews rides on.

01:41:48.400 My son yesterday was out and I heard the lawnmower start up and I'm like, why is he mowing the

01:41:55.220 lawn?

01:41:55.520 No, he just took my grandkids and was taking them around the yard at a high rate of speed

01:42:03.560 with the lawnmower making laps like we were in, you know, like we were the infield of

01:42:09.040 the Indy 500.

01:42:10.340 And I said, what the hell are you doing?

01:42:13.100 He said, dad, I'm being a redneck.

01:42:16.000 And I said, OK, continue on.

01:42:18.380 Anyway, Hustler Turf.

01:42:19.760 They are fantastic, fantastic lawnmowers.

01:42:23.660 It'll be the last lawnmower you ever buy.

01:42:43.420 It's available wherever you get your books.

01:42:47.160 Glenn Beck dot com.

01:42:51.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:42:53.960 Donald Trump just tweeted for the purpose of creating conflict and confusion.

01:42:58.580 Some in the fake news media are saying that it is the governor's decision to open up the

01:43:03.800 states, not that of the president of the United States and the federal government.

01:43:07.800 Let it be fully understood that this is incorrect.

01:43:14.440 No, no, it's not incorrect.

01:43:19.300 It is not the president's place.

01:43:22.220 Well, I think what he's doing here is you notice he's not he's not flexing the muscle of the presidency to close down the country.

01:43:32.780 He's letting the governors close it down.

01:43:38.220 He's he's fighting now for the ability to open it back up because he thinks that governors are going to fight him.

01:43:46.160 Democratic governors are going to fight him for political reasons.

01:43:50.200 I think that or he's just wrong.

01:43:53.520 And, you know, this is wrong, but he hasn't been he hasn't taken that authority to close it down.

01:44:00.840 Why is he taking that authority to open it back up?

01:44:03.740 Because he thinks that these governors are going to, you know, some of these governors look at the one in Virginia, not willing to open up until the middle of June.

01:44:12.460 Now, maybe that's right, but I doubt it.

01:44:15.580 Yeah, no, they and I know they've closed now the schools in New York all the way till I think June 26th or something was the end of their school calendar, which is not a surprise in New York.

01:44:27.700 I mean, it's going to go on for a while there.

01:44:29.060 But I think Cuomo said something to the effect of, look, if we're closing the schools down, that means we're closing everything down.

01:44:34.580 The economy's closed down until then.

01:44:36.140 So they're looking now, they are the most extreme part of this.

01:44:41.700 That's a different case.

01:44:42.860 Yeah, it's a different.

01:44:43.680 That's a different case.

01:44:44.820 But you're right.

01:44:45.440 It's New York is New York.

01:44:47.680 Yeah, it's going to be it's going to be different.

01:44:50.420 You know, I hope hopefully this is just a it seems he's been holding on to this power for a while in this idea that it's kind of like a threat almost.

01:44:59.200 Right.

01:44:59.480 He's saying if you don't handle this rationally, I'm going to step in.

01:45:03.220 And I don't know that he has any power to step in in this situation.

01:45:06.820 You know, certainly it would be challenged.

01:45:08.040 And I don't know that it would be constitutional to say you have to.

01:45:12.500 I don't know if you'd overrule the states like that.

01:45:14.380 I don't know that he has the power to that.

01:45:15.880 He's obviously trying to claim it.

01:45:17.820 I don't know that he has it.

01:45:18.640 I think one of the one of the best parts of the way he's handled this so far is that he's been restrained.

01:45:22.420 We were just praising him earlier in the show from for his restraint in trying to grab all sorts of national power.

01:45:30.300 Hopefully he's not going down that road.

01:45:31.980 And I don't know how you would do it.

01:45:33.220 You're going to order people to go back to work.

01:45:36.420 I don't even know what how the function of that would work.

01:45:39.220 You know, you can say I guess you could try to threaten a state by saying don't punish people if they do go back to work.

01:45:47.880 But I don't know how you I mean, I don't think our system would allow for none of this.

01:45:53.180 None of that would do checks and balances would kick in.

01:45:56.300 The president couldn't do that.

01:45:57.520 If the governor says, hey, we're in a national emergency and the governor has the right or state emergency, the governor has a right to declare a state emergency.

01:46:08.480 Now, that could screw with their federal funding.

01:46:10.640 You know, but I don't think the president would do that unless it was really obvious.

01:46:15.640 Like he's not going to screw with the federal funding of New York.

01:46:18.840 Why would you screw with the federal funding of New York unless it was like, you know, we're keeping it closed for the next 18 months?

01:46:24.820 Well, OK, really, you're going to keep the entire state of New York closed for the next 18 months.

01:46:32.780 And there are those people that are talking that way.

01:46:35.640 I don't think Cuomo is and I don't know any governors that are.

01:46:39.320 But I've heard people say, you know, we should be closed for the next 18 months.

01:46:43.680 You know, we are talking about rolling blackouts for the next 18 to 24.

01:46:47.760 And that might be wise, you know, it might be if there's if Dallas all of a sudden starts to have really bad cases to close Dallas down for a little while.

01:46:58.060 Everybody in this area stay in place, you know, that that's there's I don't think there's anything wrong with rolling blackouts as long as we know what the metrics are.

01:47:08.600 Yeah. Yeah. Look, there are certain situations that get too bad and you and you you have to do things, though.

01:47:16.320 I just it's it's going to be interesting to see how long people can take that.

01:47:19.960 And we keep using this 18 months. I mean, you did the coronavirus update.

01:47:23.280 There's no there's no definitive end to this, right?

01:47:26.980 Like, no, the idea that we're going to have a vaccine in 12 to 18 months.

01:47:31.900 Doctors are calling it a miracle. They've never done it that fast ever.

01:47:35.880 They also told us very clearly that we were going to have an HIV vaccine when that all started up.

01:47:41.400 We never got one. You know what another coronavirus is?

01:47:44.340 The common cold. Do we have a vaccine to that?

01:47:47.100 No, we don't. These are not sure things that will ever get a vaccine.

01:47:52.560 I mean, probably the better possibility which could provide a shorter term solution to this and is is realistic that we can hopefully depend on would be a treatment.

01:48:07.240 Right. If one of these things like hydro hydroxychloroquine has obviously been the one talked about the most, but there's lots of them.

01:48:13.960 There's been some positives about another one that Trump has mentioned that I won't want one of the antiviral things that they initially designed for HIV wound up having some promise in one of these clinical studies as well.

01:48:26.240 All we need is to find something that will back it off from, you know, if you're in the hospital with a 10 out of 10, it can bring it back to an 8 out of 10.

01:48:36.780 It's really all we need.

01:48:38.140 And that sort of thing, I think, with the with the full power of not only the United States and, you know, capitalism and innovation, everybody trying to find the same thing.

01:48:49.560 It's really happening around the world as well.

01:48:52.100 I'm optimistic we'll get there eventually.

01:48:55.680 But it is, you know, until we have that, people are we can talk all we want about opening up the economy.

01:49:02.120 We we've looked at these numbers like crazy.

01:49:05.040 All the numbers are coming out before any government bans were instituted and you saw 50, 60, 70 percent drop offs in traffic to restaurants because people didn't want to die.

01:49:16.900 Right. And until you can convince them they're not going to die.

01:49:21.060 It doesn't matter if you, quote unquote, open up the economy.

01:49:24.100 People don't want to go outside right now.

01:49:27.000 This is like, you know, it's not just government restrictions doing this.

01:49:30.420 Right. You're you're it's going to take a massive.

01:49:35.040 And the best ad campaign of probably American history to get us to go back quickly to normal life, going to restaurants, going into crowds, having parties, everything else.

01:49:50.660 It'll take a long time.

01:49:52.520 Some people will do it.

01:49:53.660 But I think there's going to be a lot of people that will stay out of the restaurants for a very, very long time unless they they, you know, cut the, you know, cut the number of people in there by half or whatever.

01:50:07.320 And still, then I'm not I don't know.

01:50:09.600 I'm not that comfortable.

01:50:10.760 I don't know.

01:50:11.780 You know, I don't know all the people in there and I don't know who is sick and who who's not sick, et cetera, et cetera.

01:50:18.320 I mean, it until you can come up with a vaccine, we won't be comfortable if you don't come up with a vaccine, at least have some sort of way of understanding you've been tested and you don't currently have it or you have the antibodies.

01:50:33.600 When that happens, then we'll start to normalize again.

01:50:37.200 But without those things, it's not going to be normal.

01:50:41.180 But we can open the economy back up more than it already is.

01:50:46.500 There is a great article on Medium.

01:50:51.920 And and it was the I don't know, six or seven reasons why we should open the economy.

01:50:58.520 First one, we've already flattened the curve.

01:51:01.800 We've now gone from predictions of millions of deaths to hundreds of thousands.

01:51:06.260 And now we're predicting about 60,000 deaths.

01:51:11.340 The next one is economic collapse and unemployment is destroying families.

01:51:19.120 This one is really, really true.

01:51:23.320 We'll be lucky if the job losses are not 25 million.

01:51:27.520 And to put that into perspective, 25 million is about the population of the great state of Texas.

01:51:32.520 Texas and the great state of Texas is the size of half of the continental U.S.

01:51:38.800 And that's not I mean, it's obviously going to be worse than that.

01:51:41.460 We're already at 16.

01:51:43.560 Right.

01:51:43.920 It's obviously going to be worse than that.

01:51:46.400 So and that is that's only the ones that we're counting.

01:51:54.400 There are so many problems that come with unemployment.

01:51:59.860 The the the fact that you'll have suicides, you'll have health problems.

01:52:05.740 You won't be able to see doctors as much.

01:52:09.720 All of these things that causes massive suicidal tendencies.

01:52:15.900 Next one.

01:52:16.800 We have not saturated the health care system in New York.

01:52:20.060 We came close, but the rest is pretty good.

01:52:23.000 And the reason why we're having problems is because of PPEs and things like that.

01:52:28.920 If we can get the mask situation under control, if you know, we the federal government ordered 500 million masks,

01:52:36.980 if we can get the mask shortage under control and we can get all of the gowns and everything else that we need for the hospitals,

01:52:47.600 if we can get the medicine that we need for the hospitals, as long as we don't burn our doctors and patients out, we're we're doing good.

01:52:56.460 We'll be set for the next wave.

01:52:58.160 If we're not set for the next wave, there is a problem.

01:53:01.640 We should be.

01:53:02.540 We should be working on that right now.

01:53:06.200 Suicide will kill almost as many people as covid this year.

01:53:10.500 In 2018, there were 48000 recorded suicides, but economic ruin results in a wide range of health problems, suicide, mental health issues, loss of health insurance,

01:53:22.280 reluctance to visit doctors in light of the financial hardship, increases in in substance abuse, blah, blah, blah.

01:53:29.340 That is on top of the delay in not non covid care.

01:53:33.520 So 48000 deaths in 2018, how many suicides will it be this year?

01:53:43.600 The PPE limited, but now becoming more available.

01:53:48.680 And this one is the last point.

01:53:51.540 And this is one I've been ringing the bell on from the beginning of this.

01:53:55.880 Authorities should show clear evidence regarding the benefits of indefinite lockdown.

01:54:02.000 We need to see.

01:54:06.380 What the parameters are, what are you what are you looking for?

01:54:11.060 What are you looking at to make these decisions right now?

01:54:15.240 We know that the states have been looking at covid now, this this website that was started by a group of progressive activists who were leading a charge against Donald Trump.

01:54:27.120 Most of the states were using that it's unbelievably flawed.

01:54:33.760 The numbers on covid now are are way, way off.

01:54:39.600 Showed a million dead in Texas alone.

01:54:43.680 Ridiculous kinds of numbers.

01:54:45.500 The states were using that website to predict what was going on.

01:54:51.660 That stuff has got to stop.

01:54:54.320 We need to know what are the parameters?

01:54:57.220 What are you looking for in numbers?

01:54:59.800 What are the what are the things in the hospitals that you're looking for?

01:55:03.420 What what is the number of new infections that says, OK, we're probably pretty safe.

01:55:08.820 I'd like to have a discussion of those things in public.

01:55:12.740 I'd like to know what those things are that are that are keeping us from opening or telling us we should open.

01:55:21.320 What are those things and are they sane?

01:55:25.080 Are they rational and are they scientifically provable?

01:55:29.480 This is too big to go off of just somebody's gut.

01:55:33.500 Yeah, no, it's definitely true. 0.91

01:55:34.680 And hopefully we're at least a little bit past the top of this.

01:55:38.300 Right. I mean, the deaths dropped yesterday pretty significantly.

01:55:41.380 There's part of that is just record, you know, recording in that for whatever reason, you know, Sundays, especially Easter Sunday.

01:55:48.640 There's people aren't working and don't necessarily report every single death.

01:55:53.040 If we can get past this week without two thousand over two thousand again, because we've been over two thousand a couple of times once or twice.

01:56:00.500 If we can get through this week without two thousand, it may show that we are past the peak of this, which would be really encouraging.

01:56:06.820 But really encouraging, you know, like Detroit was a great example.

01:56:10.560 We talked to someone earlier from Detroit about how bad this was.

01:56:13.500 I mean, Detroit is really in the middle of it.

01:56:15.700 New Orleans is in the middle of it.

01:56:17.320 There's several cities that are breaking out.

01:56:18.820 They're not going to be as bad as New York, obviously population wise.

01:56:21.980 But they are, you know, on the wrong side of this and it's increasing or getting worse in some cases.

01:56:28.940 So hopefully we can at least get past this peak.

01:56:31.300 And then once we get past the like panic of this first moment, there's going to be a period here coming, I think, to the end of the month where this sort of like organized, hopefully rollout of people being able to go back and feeling that they're not going to, you know, get sick just by going out and doing the basic things they want to do with life.

01:56:51.580 Hopefully that's right around the corner.

01:56:53.680 All right.

01:56:54.220 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:56:55.380 It's Rectech Grills.

01:56:56.480 Rectech, man.

01:56:57.320 They make the best grill.

01:56:58.780 They make this Wi-Fi based smart grill can be controlled from anywhere.

01:57:04.400 Now, that means, you know, in the current situation, I can turn my grill on from my patio or from my kitchen or from my living room.

01:57:15.980 But normally you can start it.

01:57:17.820 Let's say you're going to church in the morning and you need to start your grill at certain time.

01:57:23.000 You can start it just on your phone.

01:57:25.940 It's it's really an unbelievable grill.

01:57:28.160 It is built like a tank and so much better than their nearest competitor.

01:57:34.780 When you see the difference in just weight alone, just the weight of the steel, you know which one is built to last and which one isn't.

01:57:44.280 That other one that is supposedly the best grill made that you're buying out where Home Depot or wherever you're going.

01:57:50.840 That does not compare.

01:57:52.680 And the reason why is because they're not sitting at Home Depot.

01:57:56.820 OK, they're not they are not you don't you don't go to a place and and have a big markup on them like the other grill has.

01:58:03.780 So they take all of that and they put it into this grill.

01:58:07.600 It's a I mean, it's it is a modern marvel of grilling.

01:58:12.480 It really is.

01:58:13.800 I would not be the kind of guy that would smoke.

01:58:16.140 I'd smoke meats.

01:58:17.780 We've done ribs.

01:58:18.940 We've done brisket.

01:58:20.020 It is great.

01:58:22.000 It's a rec tech grill.

01:58:23.400 Now that spring is here, go out and and smoke some food, grill some food in the best made rec tech grills with an S or R-E-C-T-E-C grills with an S dot com rec tech grills dot com.

01:58:40.940 After the hundredth time scrolling through your feed today, maybe you need some new reading material to get you through the quarantine.

01:58:46.940 Please.

01:58:47.760 We got you.

01:58:48.840 Glenn Beck has a new book called Arguing with Socialists,

01:58:51.880 and you can order it now from anywhere books are sold.

01:58:57.140 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:59:01.400 Tomorrow, I want to go over the numbers with Stu on, you know, the estimates of two million dead.

01:59:08.520 Why we're at sixty six thousand is a little misleading, but they were also, I think, way out of whack on the middle numbers, not the top numbers.

01:59:17.700 The middle numbers will explain that on tomorrow's program.

01:59:21.380 Also, make sure you're following me on Twitter today as I'm going to be tweeting out something that's coming from Governor Noem in South Dakota.

01:59:30.800 She's going to be.

01:59:31.820 Oh, my God.

01:59:33.160 They're going to hate her so much, almost as much as we hate Jenna.

01:59:38.420 But I think what she's going to announce here in a few minutes is exceptional.

01:59:42.900 Follow me on Twitter now.

01:59:44.180 This is the Glenn Beck program.
