Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, America. Welcome to Thursday.
00:00:04.280 We just got our unemployment numbers out, and it is a record breaker.
00:00:09.760 It is worse than the worst estimates that we heard, and this is from last week.
00:00:18.620 So this was the first round of cuts.
00:00:22.740 We're going to get to that, and we'll show you a path to the light.
00:00:27.980 Just walk towards the light. We'll do that in one minute.
00:00:35.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:38.700 Well, in solidarity with Joe Biden, who just recently said,
00:00:43.840 You know, I had my home converted, and there in my recreation room,
00:00:53.140 they put in the high-speed internet, so I can do what's called television.
00:01:00.420 Wow. That was...
00:01:02.480 I was inspired, so I ordered all the fake wood paddling
00:01:05.900 that's going to go halfway up the wall, then just strangely stop.
00:01:09.760 I'm getting a record player with some sweet tunes,
00:01:13.160 maybe a Commodore 64 computer.
00:01:16.440 Dial-up ready, though.
00:01:17.580 I mean, oh, excuse me, I coughed into my hands,
00:01:20.740 but I can cough into my hand because I'm home alone.
00:01:23.340 Anyway, one thing I haven't been persuaded to put into my new rec room
00:01:29.260 and replace is my ex-chair.
00:01:33.720 Terribly sorry, Joe, but I'm riding out the quarantine in style and comfort,
00:01:39.380 you know, at least when it comes to my office.
00:01:41.020 I mean, my rec room.
00:01:43.640 Ex-chair, patented dynamic variable lumbar or DVL support system.
00:01:48.040 If you have a bad back, this is a great chair for you.
00:01:51.380 Even if you don't have a bad back, this support system,
00:01:54.720 it has 10 different settings on it.
00:01:57.540 I mean, this thing, you practically need a degree to run it.
00:02:01.200 I think you do.
00:02:01.960 It's got all these different settings on it,
00:02:04.060 so you are comfortable no matter how you like the chair.
00:02:07.640 Feel the DVL difference for yourself and get $100 off by calling 844-4X-CHAIR

00:02:27.980 xchairbeck.com.
00:02:30.280 After the hundredth time scrolling through your feed today,
00:02:33.080 maybe you need some new reading material to get you through the quarantine.
00:02:36.320 Please.
00:02:36.700 We got you.
00:02:38.200 Glenn Beck has a new book called Arguing with Socialists,
00:02:41.440 and you can preorder it now wherever books are sold.
00:02:48.700 All right.
00:02:51.620 So we have our weekly jobless claims now.
00:02:57.260 This is the first time we have seen an unemployment number since this began.
00:03:01.640 Now, remember, just, what was it, last week?
00:03:07.420 Last week we had, what, 280-some thousand jobs added.
00:03:13.340 The worst on record for the Great Recession was 665,000 jobs that were lost in 2009.
00:03:25.440 The all-time mark was 695,000 jobs in October 1982.
00:03:33.900 Remember, last week it was 282.
00:03:37.880 Today, that has surged in one week to 3.28 million people.
00:03:47.940 They were talking yesterday about a very bad number coming out, and that number was in the low twos.
00:03:57.840 It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the stock market today,
00:04:01.660 as the stock market is going to be fighting this jobless number alongside of the stimulus package.
00:04:12.200 This is depression-era kind of news,
00:04:20.760 and I don't know that America really fully understands that yet.
00:04:29.500 With 3 million people unemployed just last week,
00:04:34.260 how many employers are now just starting to look and say,
00:04:38.900 okay, what are we going to do?
00:04:39.900 Because this isn't going away in two weeks.
00:04:44.660 What do we do now?
00:04:46.760 I think this number is fairly small for what we're headed towards.
00:04:57.760 Stu, any idea what this means for an unemployment number when it's translated?
00:05:03.980 We don't know yet on that.
00:05:06.360 I mean, I can tell you just looking at the charts,
00:05:10.240 this is what happens, you know, because we have to do this sort of nonsense all the time with charts and everything.
00:05:15.140 It's what happens when you mistakenly add an extra zero in your last column and you didn't realize it,
00:05:19.640 and then you draw the chart, and it's just this kind of flat line bumping up and down a little bit in a very small range,
00:05:24.980 and then all of a sudden it's, you know, 10 times whatever the other number is.
00:05:30.440 It looks like a big wall was drawn at the end of the chart.
00:05:33.360 It's a straight up line.
00:05:35.720 It's 1,052% up.
00:05:39.580 And if you want, I mean, if you want, if you want, if you want this not to, you know, to be 6 million or 8 million or 12 million or more,
00:05:49.840 this is, this is something to really consider.
00:05:53.100 I know you got bashed all week because you said at some level we can't lose the country.
00:05:58.480 We're going to have to figure out a way to make this happen.
00:06:01.740 That you got all lit up for that.
00:06:03.240 But, I mean, you look at, look at, this is week one of this.
00:06:05.980 And every, you know, most companies, right, if you're in a relatively decent position, you can deal with another week.
00:06:11.700 You know, if you think it's going to be a two or three week problem, you can probably figure out a way to get yourself through it.
00:06:16.900 This is a totally different situation now.
00:06:18.820 I mean, everyone's bashing the president for saying Easter.
00:06:23.620 We've got to get back to work.
00:06:24.660 Right?
00:06:25.120 Which is still, what, three weeks away?
00:06:27.300 Is it two or three weeks away?
00:06:29.160 So you've already had.
00:06:29.740 Two weeks away, isn't it?
00:06:31.180 It's the 14th.
00:06:32.240 14th.
00:06:32.740 So you've already dealt with.
00:06:34.100 I think.
00:06:34.580 A couple weeks of horror show for your business.
00:06:38.480 The most optimistic person speaking right now is the president.
00:06:42.100 And he's saying it's another two weeks.
00:06:44.460 You know, that's why this bill is being forced through with God only knows what in it.
00:06:49.900 I mean, we're starting to learn some of the details.
00:06:51.660 Oh, no, I got some of the details for you.
00:06:54.520 It will melt your brain.
00:06:56.140 I'm going to do that coming up.
00:06:57.580 It's worse than you think, Stu.
00:07:00.580 It's worse than you think.
00:07:02.580 And God help us.
00:07:05.120 Listen, before we get into all of that stuff, we have to get back to work.
00:07:11.060 For instance, right now, we were redoing this atrium in our studios.
00:07:19.980 How many square feet is the atrium?
00:07:22.500 40,000 square feet?
00:07:24.340 It's like crazy.
00:07:25.860 And we were painting the studio.
00:07:29.860 It took, what, three months to paint the outside, getting ready to paint the inside, doing all this construction work.
00:07:37.480 Everything has been halted, even though there's only like four people in the studio.
00:07:43.000 It's all been halted because the city said, you got to stop going to work.
00:07:49.260 Okay, well, that's cool and everything.
00:07:52.560 But is there any safe way of doing it?
00:07:56.560 There were literally like six guys on the job.
00:08:00.400 Can they work apart from each other?
00:08:04.080 You know, the studio is still working.
00:08:06.320 We still have employed everyone.
00:08:09.400 We still are doing all of the shows.
00:08:11.560 So we're still working.
00:08:13.500 But I'd like to pay these guys to continue to work.
00:08:18.680 And I know I'm not alone.
00:08:20.700 There are a lot of places where it hasn't hit.
00:08:24.440 And we're sitting here idly.
00:08:27.540 Now, you know, if you look at Germany, I'm going to go into Germany here in just a second.
00:08:32.040 And Germany looks like they are handling this extraordinarily well.
00:08:38.220 And it's not because they have a socialist or a authoritarian government.
00:08:43.320 It's the exact opposite.
00:08:45.400 Because they went through Hitler, they can't give the German chancellor any power.
00:08:50.680 And so the central centralized government doesn't have power because they went through all of the health scares.
00:08:58.980 You know, like scary experimentations on children.
00:09:05.480 They don't have control like everyone else has control of their medical system.
00:09:12.300 So they are testing faster than anyone else.
00:09:16.200 And the reason why is because all of the free market was open.
00:09:21.240 Their, what is it, their Koch Center.
00:09:23.900 I can't remember the name of, I can't remember the first name of it.
00:09:27.680 But it is, it's the guy who came up with a cure for, I think, tuberculosis.
00:09:33.820 It's named after him.
00:09:35.140 And this institute is like their CDC.
00:09:38.500 And their CDC doesn't have authority.
00:09:42.200 It doesn't, it just says, look, we need a test to do these things.
00:09:46.760 Then it goes to the open market.
00:09:48.960 And so they have these tests being made by all these different companies.
00:09:53.740 And they're, everyone's being tested.
00:09:57.240 We are a hybrid of that.
00:09:59.960 And that's one of the problems.
00:10:01.420 And we're, what's worse is one of the things that's in this new bill is if somebody, if you take any of this money and you're a business and somebody tries to unionize,
00:10:15.420 you can't say no until you've paid that money back, the government is grabbing control.
00:10:24.240 And this is not good.
00:10:27.100 We need to have the most free market to be able to, to be able to expand and heal from this.
00:10:35.120 There's also some other things.
00:10:36.940 And I, I'm going to, I'm going to call my local bank today because my local bank is really, they're great.
00:10:43.700 I don't deal with the big banks because I don't, I don't trust them.
00:10:47.980 Wells Fargo.
00:10:48.920 Yeah.
00:10:49.540 U S bank city, JP Morgan chase.
00:10:52.180 Now let me give you some good news about these guys in California.
00:10:55.400 They have now agreed to defer mortgage payments for three months.
00:10:59.660 Now, bank of America only agreed to waive mortgage payments for one month, but I have a feeling they're going to change, but Wells Fargo, U S bank city and JP Morgan chase.
00:11:13.160 This is only in California, but this is the kind of help that banks can provide.
00:11:19.660 If the, the monkey would come off of our back so quickly, if we just said, you know what?
00:11:28.720 Three months, don't pay your mortgage.
00:11:31.340 Don't worry about it.
00:11:32.720 Businesses.
00:11:33.220 Do you hear the cheesecake factory may go out of business?
00:11:36.400 And do you know why?
00:11:37.680 No, don't you dare say that.
00:11:39.200 What are you talking about?
00:11:39.920 Oh, I know they're talking about, they will not be able to make their mortgage payment.
00:11:44.100 I mean, they are in like the premier malls and the premier places, all of their mortgages are for these premier spots and they're big.
00:11:53.900 So they're not going to be able to hit their mortgage payment at the end of this month.
00:11:58.300 And they, they're like, we're, I guess we're going out of business.
00:12:01.620 Are you kidding me?
00:12:02.940 Well, this bill is supposed to address things like that.
00:12:05.300 Right.
00:12:05.580 I mean, this is what the, this is what the, you know, the slush fund was all about, right.
00:12:10.180 For big companies who need to be able to, to get, you know, what about the,
00:12:14.100 little companies?
00:12:15.140 What about the little people?
00:12:16.620 Well, they do have, they do have a lot in there for small companies as well.
00:12:19.480 And one of the things they have is.
00:12:21.020 I don't mean, I don't, I don't even mean that, Stu.
00:12:23.060 I just mean the impact we could make.
00:12:25.560 We're giving $4 trillion to these banks, just giving it to them.
00:12:30.720 $4 trillion.
00:12:32.280 These banks should say as a public service, we're being backstopped by the federal government.
00:12:38.800 They said that they would just print more.
00:12:40.900 You know, they'll be made whole.
00:12:42.540 No mortgage payments for anybody.
00:12:46.560 Just stop all mortgage payments for anybody for three months and make it universal.
00:12:53.820 So no one, you can take that money.
00:12:56.700 Look, if.
00:12:59.400 Let me go here.
00:13:00.600 I got a kind of an urgent note last night from Mercury one and Mercury one is donating
00:13:10.660 $25,000 to help communities throughout the country.
00:13:15.460 Uh, we are partnering with team, team Rubicon.
00:13:19.200 They are built to serve.
00:13:21.100 These guys are all military guys.
00:13:23.320 And in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we've launched neighborhoods, uh, neighbors helping
00:13:29.080 neighbors.
00:13:29.620 You can hashtag that neighbors helping neighbors.
00:13:32.820 It's an initiative to meet the needs of our communities through safe individual acts of
00:13:38.180 service.
00:13:39.000 This is what Mercury one was built for these times.
00:13:43.560 Um, they are, they're donating $25,000, but $25,000 is not going to make it, but we have
00:13:51.120 been focusing on saving persecuted Christians and everything else.
00:13:55.600 We really need your help.
00:13:58.460 Um, I just talked to Tanya.
00:14:00.560 I got this note.
00:14:01.520 I'm going to match the 25,000.
00:14:04.100 So there's $50,000.
00:14:06.480 If you can, if you're in a position to help, please help.
00:14:12.080 This is, this is going to affect each and every one of us.
00:14:17.160 This is the kind of call to service that we have not been called to since the great depression.
00:14:24.120 The, the time before that, I would say would have to be the civil war.
00:14:29.220 This is a call to service.
00:14:31.120 If you can help, if you can, if you can help in your neighborhood with just your time or
00:14:38.260 your talent, if you can go shopping, if you can, whatever you can do, start doing it now.
00:14:46.200 If, if you can help us out with organized things with team Rubicon, uh, we would really
00:14:54.760 appreciate the donation.
00:14:56.360 Mercury one really, really needs the help today so we can fund our partners.
00:15:03.940 We don't do this work.
00:15:05.560 We go to the neighborhoods and we help the churches and the small organizations that can,
00:15:11.820 they know how to help.
00:15:13.900 And they have proven to be, uh, people that use that money in the most responsible way.
00:15:20.280 Every dime of your donation, every dime will go to help, uh, the people who are in need.
00:15:27.480 And I'm talking about at the street level, there's no businesses.
00:15:31.760 There's nothing.
00:15:32.800 This is right directly to the people who are most in need.
00:15:36.920 100% of everything donated.
00:15:39.580 So if you can don't, if you can donate it all today, please go to mercury one.
00:15:44.780 Dot, uh, dot org, mercury one.
00:15:47.160 Dot org and donate.
00:15:48.400 By the way, they really, this is their, this was the first thing on their ask.
00:15:53.740 Glenn, please let us know how we can pray, uh, for, uh, uh, for the listeners.
00:16:01.600 Please, please let us know.
00:16:03.020 They have this big prayer network because a lot of people volunteer and they don't have
00:16:07.460 anything and they're like, I can pray.
00:16:09.780 So follow them on social media and let them know how they can pray.
00:16:15.060 They also need financial help to continue in many of the areas.
00:16:19.400 Uh, this is going to get worse before it gets better.
00:16:22.700 If you can financially help out, restore the human spirit to these communities around the
00:16:29.560 country and to individuals, go to mercury one.org slash donate.
00:16:35.480 What I was saying about the mortgages, what made me think of this, um, I will share with
00:16:41.160 you next.
00:16:45.760 American financing NMLS one, eight, two, three, three, four, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:16:52.700 Okay.
00:16:53.620 I can't stress to you enough how important it is for you to get on American financing,
00:16:58.580 uh, on the phone with them today, get on the phone with American financing and either
00:17:04.420 consolidate your loans.
00:17:06.480 So in other words, you have all these high interest credit card debts.
00:17:09.820 If you own your home, get on the phone with them today.
00:17:14.780 You know, it was a luxury to say, Oh, you could save a couple hundred bucks.
00:17:18.780 Now saving a couple hundred bucks a month, uh, could mean the difference between survival
00:17:23.500 and not.
00:17:24.080 And with the interest rates as low as they are, you can refinance and I'll bet you, you could
00:17:30.040 save a thousand bucks in a month, especially if you are folding in, you know, high interest
00:17:34.700 debt credit cards, please refinance.
00:17:38.140 Please look at a consolidation loan.
00:17:41.020 Be extraordinarily frugal.
00:17:43.840 You are the backbone.
00:17:45.660 You're going to be needed to help other people and to restart the heart of this nation.
00:17:50.480 And I mean, restart it.
00:17:52.340 It is at a dead stop.
00:17:55.640 Americanfinancing.net.
00:17:56.760 Call them.
00:17:57.560 Best 10 minutes you can spend today is on the phone with them.
00:18:01.260 Americanfinancing.net.
00:18:02.960 800-906-2440 is their phone number.
00:18:06.140 800-906-2440.
00:18:09.560 Do it now.
00:18:11.200 10 seconds.
00:18:11.920 Station ID.
00:18:20.480 All right.
00:18:27.220 So here is, here is what I want you to understand.
00:18:31.320 Um, when I was talking about the mortgages and I'm saying just stop all mortgages, people
00:18:38.660 don't understand that the apartment complex that you live in has a mortgage.
00:18:45.040 Somebody doesn't own that outright.
00:18:47.480 The bank owns that.
00:18:49.300 And so they have to make their mortgage payment for the entire complex.
00:18:54.480 So if you don't make your mortgage payment, they can't make their mortgage payment.
00:18:59.640 And then that whole complex is shut down.
00:19:03.380 That's why it doesn't make any sense to say, well, after you make so much money, you should
00:19:09.820 have to not worry about your mortgage.
00:19:12.600 Couple of things on this.
00:19:14.140 Take your mortgage payment and cut it for everyone who has lost their job or is, is worried about
00:19:23.880 it.
00:19:24.120 And then ask people as, as the president, ask them, please, if you can donate that money,
00:19:32.380 if you're not worried, donate that money to a local charity.
00:19:36.240 What you don't pay, help somebody pay it forward.
00:19:41.700 That's what needs to happen.
00:19:43.840 If you can take the mortgage payment of the people who, you know, I have people who rent
00:19:52.500 space from me.
00:19:53.620 Okay, so I've got this huge studio.
00:19:57.500 I've got tenants in there.
00:19:59.480 If they don't make their mortgage payment, how do I make my mortgage payment?
00:20:03.640 If I didn't have a mortgage payment, I could tell my people who are tenants, don't worry
00:20:09.760 about your mortgage.
00:20:10.900 Cover your staff.
00:20:12.060 And instead of that, would you please pay it forward and help somebody else who doesn't
00:20:18.260 have it?
00:20:18.740 We could help each other.
00:20:21.660 We don't need $6 trillion, two from the federal government in Congress and four from the Fed.
00:20:29.220 If they would just shut off our mortgage payments for three months, we could help each other a
00:20:36.520 great deal.
00:20:37.220 So please call your bank, call the Congress, call everybody, you know, and say, look, there's
00:20:44.300 got to be a way to stop.
00:20:47.260 California has just done it.
00:20:49.280 Gavin Newsom has just gotten the banks to do it in California for three months.
00:20:53.440 That should be universal because people who still are operating in America, people who are
00:20:59.360 still have their communities going, take that money and pass it forward to somebody else
00:21:06.380 because we're all going to be there, brothers.
00:21:09.020 We're all going to be here.

00:22:46.440 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:48.680 Welcome to it.
00:22:49.900 Pat Gray is here.
00:22:51.080 We were just talking off air about, you know, the end of the world, end times, Jesus coming.
00:22:56.760 And I don't think this is the time that Jesus comes, you know, but who am I to say?
00:23:03.200 I have no idea.
00:23:04.500 I will tell you that I just got news from Israel that bats were falling out of the sky dead yesterday.
00:23:13.360 And people are saying that's a sign of the end times.
00:23:19.100 Were people making sandwiches out of them?
00:23:21.920 No, they weren't.
00:23:22.900 No, it's not.
00:23:23.540 That's in China.
00:23:24.340 No.
00:23:25.080 Nobody was cooking them up in a nice soup.
00:23:28.040 But they have no idea why these these bats are falling out of the sky.
00:23:32.260 And they're saying, well, that's part of prophecy because it says, you know, Lord is going to take care of all the all the birds and stuff in the sky and they're just going to go away.
00:23:41.080 OK.
00:23:41.480 I didn't know that one.
00:23:42.620 I don't.
00:23:43.000 I'm unfamiliar with that.
00:23:44.180 I'm not sure of that one either, but I'm pretty sure that I'd ever read anything about bats being dead either.
00:23:52.080 So welcome to the program, Pat.
00:23:55.660 Your thoughts on three point two eight million unemployment.
00:23:59.620 I mean, that's just catastrophic.
00:24:01.720 I.
00:24:03.140 I hope this bill, you know, mitigates that in the future.
00:24:09.040 It can't help but right.
00:24:10.580 I mean, and when you have when you have every single Republican who is there to vote voting for it, you know, either everybody's just caved and and toss their principles aside or they believe that this is the only way to save America.
00:24:27.140 I think they caved.
00:24:29.100 Really?
00:24:30.060 It's not.
00:24:31.200 I mean, I think they're good thing.
00:24:32.440 I think they.
00:24:33.560 Right.
00:24:33.960 I think that they they they may have said, you know, this is as good as we're going to get.
00:24:40.920 So we might as well.
00:24:43.760 You know, they but I don't think that they all believe that, yes, every bit of this is is fantastic.
00:24:49.880 And I don't I think it is such an overreach to where I don't I mean, I love your idea of of doing a moratorium for three months on mortgages that would that would help immensely.
00:25:06.900 And so would every state agreeing to forego property tax for three months, you know, just yes, people relief on that end where they don't have to have so much outgoing and they can keep more of their money.
00:25:19.800 Isn't that the conservative way?
00:25:21.440 That's the Republican way to do it.
00:25:23.740 Well, but they didn't do that.
00:25:25.280 But they didn't.
00:25:25.780 I mean, no.
00:25:26.480 Yeah, I mean, if you just take the mortgage mortgage and rent is your biggest concern for most people, that's the biggest concern.
00:25:35.780 And if you just said, look, if you have mortgage or rent, stop for three months and be great.
00:25:42.800 And I love your idea also of no, no property tax.
00:25:47.680 Yeah.
00:25:47.840 So take those both away for three months and then couple that with an ask, please give some of that money to others that are in need.
00:26:00.020 Yeah.
00:26:00.420 Because that's how our grandparents.
00:26:02.280 Yeah.
00:26:02.520 Right.
00:26:02.720 That's where our grandparents excelled.
00:26:05.280 And we're not used to that.
00:26:06.780 We just we're used to getting money and then not giving it away.
00:26:10.680 We we need to see the needs in others.
00:26:15.500 And if we have the ability to do it right now, everybody's clenched so tight because they don't know what this means yet.
00:26:23.640 And they're clenched so tight.
00:26:25.640 They're like, I don't I don't know.
00:26:27.080 Can I can I give that money away right now?
00:26:30.520 I don't know.
00:26:32.900 And we none of us do.
00:26:34.720 So but we have to have faith in God that we we will make it.
00:26:39.540 We'll make it.
00:26:40.480 The way you think this works, like, obviously, the banks are depending on money.
00:26:44.620 And mortgage companies are they are going to get some of these trillions of dollars that are already in this bill.
00:26:49.200 Is that kind of the vision there?
00:26:50.940 They're getting four trillion dollars as it is.
00:26:53.320 Yeah.
00:26:53.660 And then and it and it would stabilize because right now they're looking and doing calculations on who's going to default.
00:27:01.600 And so it makes it even scarier for them.
00:27:04.760 Who's going to default?
00:27:06.100 Who's going to not be able to pay their mortgage in three months?
00:27:09.360 Are we are these, you know, triple A bonds that we've been repackaging and selling these mortgages?
00:27:17.440 Are they going to default a moratorium on all defaulting a moratorium on absolutely everything for three months?
00:27:25.060 Yes, that would help them.
00:27:26.740 It would help us.
00:27:27.820 And yeah, I mean, what are they they're missing out paying each other?
00:27:33.140 Well, the Fed is paying them.
00:27:35.500 What about the landlord level?
00:27:37.200 I would think that actually would be an impact you'd probably have to address.
00:27:40.560 I mean, if you're renting out an apartment complex and everyone starts paying zero a month for three.
00:27:44.520 No, that's what I mean by look, if you own it outright, maybe you get a portion of, you know, you get a quarter of your value of a monthly payment or something.
00:27:55.580 I don't I don't know.
00:27:56.460 Yeah.
00:27:56.840 But most people do not own that property outright.
00:28:00.780 So they have a more the landlord would have to have a moratorium.
00:28:04.820 The only way he could do it is if he didn't have to collect all the rents to pay his mortgage.
00:28:12.600 So anyone who had any kind of mortgage, business, cheesecake factory, a home, any kind of mortgage, you don't.
00:28:22.920 Business and home were a category and you gave an entire category to Cheesecake Factory.
00:28:27.100 I did.
00:28:28.160 I think it deserves its own category.
00:28:30.560 Have you seen its menu?
00:28:31.580 Yes.
00:28:32.000 It's in a category of itself.
00:28:35.380 So I just think that business and homeownership and and apartment complexes, they shouldn't have to meet that that monthly nut for three months.
00:28:49.280 Then they could give people and say, look, you know, pay a hundred dollars a month or pay nothing a month, whatever it is, but get rid of it for three months.
00:29:02.580 And, you know, the government is attaching certain provisions on receiving the money with the with the businesses.
00:29:07.740 Like they're saying, if we give you this money, you can't fire your employees as after we do.
00:29:13.340 You could also do that with the banks.
00:29:15.200 We're going to give you this money.
00:29:16.240 We're going to bail you out.
00:29:17.460 But we want you to put a moratorium on mortgages for three months.
00:29:21.640 And they would also be really easy for the states to put the moratorium on the property taxes for three months.
00:29:27.640 You can do all.
00:29:28.380 So here's the here's the thing.
00:29:30.140 The the the the banks aren't being bailed out directly this time because, you know, that started the tea party.
00:29:36.300 So the Fed is just doing it.
00:29:38.300 And so the Fed is the bank, you know, so the Fed's just printing money and giving it to themselves.
00:29:45.800 That's what's happening there.
00:29:47.500 Yeah.
00:29:47.800 So there are no strings attached on that.
00:29:50.620 We just have to you know, we just have to pressure these Congress and pressure our state governors.
00:29:58.700 You should be calling your governor now because Gavin Newsom just got this in California.
00:30:04.200 And I think this should happen in every state in the union.
00:30:07.960 So call your governor and say, put the banks on notice.
00:30:12.440 You need a three month moratorium on all mortgages, business and and home mortgages.
00:30:22.520 That's not necessarily a business loan.
00:30:25.200 It's just the place of business.
00:30:27.140 You don't have to pay for the place of business because that's everybody's biggest expense.
00:30:32.580 Also, how do you feel about what's happening to the what's it called?
00:30:37.720 Constant, constant, constitution right now.
00:30:41.660 What's happening with that?
00:30:43.980 Nobody's paying attention to it.
00:30:45.780 Why did at all?
00:30:47.060 Is the National Archives closing?
00:30:49.480 Because I've seen it up there.
00:30:51.120 It's on display.
00:30:51.920 I'm not talking so much about the actual physical document, but what it says in the document, you know, like forget that.
00:31:01.640 Like you can't turn people's water off and their electricity off if they disobey you and your order for them to shut down their business.
00:31:08.880 Like in Virginia with Governor Northam, Governor Blackface, making it a crime to assemble something that is literally addressed directly in the U.S. Constitution.
00:31:20.520 But you have to dig in quite a ways to the very first amendment to find it.
00:31:27.720 So it's a little difficult.
00:31:29.220 It's deep.
00:31:29.520 It's on page one.
00:31:30.580 Yeah.
00:31:30.820 First paragraph.
00:31:31.820 But not a lot of people dig that far into the Constitution.
00:31:35.120 Right.
00:31:35.680 It's not in the headline.
00:31:37.420 OK.
00:31:37.720 And that's as far as we go.
00:31:40.520 So here's the here's the thing, Pat.
00:31:42.880 Actually, if you watch my special last night, the states have extraordinary power as long as they're doing it to everyone.
00:31:51.320 That's the key here.
00:31:53.220 And what's what the real problem is, is the states are trying to kick it up to the federal government.
00:31:57.960 They don't want to take this responsibility and they don't want to pay for it.
00:32:02.000 So when you saw that, who was it?
00:32:04.640 Oh, state of Texas today, the president just issued the the order for the National Guard.
00:32:11.360 Well, why would this why didn't the governor do that?
00:32:14.640 Because if the governors issue a call for the National Guard, then they have to pay for it.
00:32:22.160 But if the president orders the National Guard, then the then the federal government pays for it.
00:32:28.820 You do not want to set the precedence that the National Guard is under the direction of the president.
00:32:36.940 The National Guard must be under the the governors.
00:32:42.620 You might have a bad governor, but we can all escape from that state if and then you also have the federal government that can remove that bad governor.
00:32:52.540 But if you have the military operating in the United States and it's all under the control of the president and I'm not talking about this president.
00:33:02.660 But I can't believe all these Democratic governments governors who said that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, was a fascist, is now giving him the power over their state by moving the military under his direction into their state.
00:33:19.360 It's great. I mean, you know, you you obviously don't believe that he's a dictator when you are in that state giving him that much power.
00:33:30.180 And thank God, I don't think he is a dictator.
00:33:32.660 I don't think he'd become a dictator, but you can't set this precedence.
00:33:38.380 And yet and here we are saying of it here.
00:33:40.860 No, nobody's talking about it.
00:33:42.080 We're rolling over for for all of it.
00:33:44.020 We're not even we're not even giving a thought to whether or not we should be doing this.
00:33:49.200 We're just in such a panic right now.
00:33:51.320 Nobody wants the disease.
00:33:52.380 We don't want it to spread.
00:33:53.660 So anything's proposed.
00:33:55.080 OK, yep, we'll comply.
00:33:57.720 We'll comply.
00:33:58.140 You know what?
00:33:59.040 Did you did you see the guy who probably this is the study that probably had the president shut everything down?
00:34:05.860 This is the guy.
00:34:06.540 This is the study that shot that England shut down over everybody else.
00:34:11.640 You heard have you heard about the Imperial College study in in the UK?
00:34:16.760 Yeah, that's the big that's the big scary model that they've been.
00:34:20.140 That's the big one.
00:34:20.800 Yeah.
00:34:21.640 500,000 deaths in the UK.
00:34:25.740 Well, now the guy who did the study says, I think we might have enough ICU beds and it's probably only going to kill 20,000 in the UK.
00:34:36.740 That's more than half of those, more than half of those, he said, would have died by the end of the year in any way, in any case, because they're sick and old.
00:34:48.420 So wait a minute.
00:34:49.700 Wait, wait a minute.
00:34:51.220 You just said 500,000 people would die.
00:34:55.060 Now you're saying 20,000 by the end of the year and they probably would have died anyway.
00:35:00.220 And you've destroyed the global economy.
00:35:04.460 Well, but I think I was reading that, too.
00:35:06.880 And as I was reading into his reasoning, his reasoning for his optimism seems to be the lockdown.
00:35:15.100 Yeah.
00:35:15.360 So really, really?
00:35:17.320 Because the lockdown was in place.
00:35:18.980 He said the numbers are so encouraging with the lockdown.
00:35:22.280 The lockdown in the UK had been going on for two solid days.
00:35:26.560 Right.
00:35:27.300 The official one.
00:35:28.440 But they were doing, you know, the encouraged social distancing and all of that before social distancing.
00:35:34.260 We were doing social distancing.
00:35:36.140 There's nothing wrong with social distancing.
00:35:38.000 We're talking about the shutting down of economies.

00:37:31.000 Let me give you some news on Donald Trump that no one in the media will give you the head of the World Health Organization.
00:37:37.860 The WHO remember there they're they've been used by the media to say Donald Trump is just evil.
00:37:44.920 He won't.
00:37:45.540 He's putting people in coronavirus vats right now and making them drink whole liquid mix up drinks that are made entirely out of coronavirus.
00:37:56.440 And he's making him he put a straw directly into their lungs.
00:38:01.240 Well, here's what the head of the WHO said.
00:38:05.000 The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is taking responsibility for leading the United States and their response to the global pandemic.
00:38:14.780 He said he has repeatedly called on the heads of state to lead a whole government response and said Trump is leading by example.
00:38:23.680 This is exactly what he's doing.
00:38:25.560 Quoting we appreciate because fighting this pandemic needs political commitment.
00:38:31.680 And Donald Trump is doing all that he can.
00:38:35.000 And I believe that kind of political commitment and political leadership can bring change or stop this pandemic.
00:38:41.940 End quote.
00:38:44.620 Oh, man.
00:38:45.680 I you know, I actually I don't know why, but I actually went online yesterday to some mainstream media sources and really started reading everything.
00:38:56.220 There's everything is negative.
00:38:59.060 Everything is negative.
00:39:00.520 There's not one thing that anybody is writing right now about Donald Trump or about our government's response.
00:39:07.400 I've never seen anything like it.
00:39:09.540 You know, it's it's it's I'm glad that the press has discredited itself as much as it as it has, because we shouldn't be reading that crap, because, man, you just you want to kill yourself after reading what they think, you know, is is going on and and how bad things really, really are.
00:39:29.960 We're Americans, we're Americans, we're Americans, we're going to make it, we'll find a way.
00:39:36.520 We always do.
00:39:37.580 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
00:39:54.580 So yesterday we told you that the federal government was going to give two trillion dollars and pump it into the economy.
00:40:04.380 Now, we couldn't tell you what was in the bill.
00:40:08.180 We still can't get the full bill, but we have pieces of the bill.
00:40:12.020 And I want to share what we found in pieces of the bill.
00:40:16.660 They're hoping to finish passing it today.
00:40:21.040 Oh, so the Calvary will roll in.
00:40:23.920 But who are they rolling over?
00:40:26.160 By the way, the the employment numbers just came out.
00:40:29.660 Unemployment is up by three point two eight million Americans.
00:40:37.340 That's in week one.
00:40:40.340 You want to know why the president says we have to get back to work?
00:40:43.480 We can't handle very many weeks like that.
00:40:46.900 We have got to turn the engine of America back on.
00:40:51.600 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:40:53.580 I'm a big fan of finding silver linings, and here's a big silver lining.
00:41:03.700 If you are somebody who is in debt, you have a mortgage.

00:42:11.260 To put that into context, it was about 650,000 that lost their jobs at the peak of 08.
00:42:19.740 The worst job loss, I think, was 675,000.
00:42:24.720 This is 3.28 in a week.
00:42:30.100 We're in a different territory.
00:42:33.260 You really won't recognize your country at the end of this.

00:42:58.840 Arguing with Socialists, the new book from Glenn Beck.
00:43:01.660 Pre-order now on Amazon.
00:43:02.920 So I know this is a dumb question, but Stu, I'd like you to help me out on some of these things, okay?
00:43:10.080 Going over the bailout, I've had a few things.
00:43:15.440 The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Operations and Maintenance.
00:43:19.800 For an additional amount for operations and maintenance of $25 million to remain available until September 30th, 2021 to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus domestically or internationally.
00:43:38.240 Including funding for deep cleaning and information technology to improve telework capability and for operations and maintenance requires related to the consequence of coronavirus.
00:43:47.860 What exactly does the John F. Kennedy Center need to do besides get a bunch of mothballs and roll them down the aisle and then vacuum them back up when they can open the doors?
00:44:02.520 $25 million?
00:44:04.520 In times of a pandemic, Glenn, you want to make sure you pour money into facilities where people get together to sit really close to each other and watch a show.
00:44:11.760 It's unbelievable.
00:44:12.660 It's a great idea.
00:44:13.680 I think we can do deep cleaning there for less than $25 million.
00:44:18.100 And notice, and this is a key word, notice it says, to prepare for and respond to coronavirus domestically or internationally.
00:44:30.680 What?
00:44:31.880 Well, if they move the Kennedy Center to Madagascar at any point.
00:44:37.180 Or Ukraine.
00:44:37.780 It could be a huge issue.
00:44:39.660 All right.
00:44:42.200 I don't think we should be, you know, $25 million to, you know, the Kennedy Center.
00:44:48.460 I mean, how much does it turn, take to turn off the lights and then come back later?
00:44:54.140 Why are we paying performers and artists for not performing?
00:44:57.980 I mean, get the unemployment that the plumber gets the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities, five national endowment for the arts, six grants and administration for the additional amount.
00:45:13.440 Now, $25 million to turn out the lights of the Kennedy Center.
00:45:18.140 This is an additional amount for grants and administration, $75 million to remain available until September 30th, 2021, to prevent, prepare for and respond to coronavirus domestically or internationally to be distributed in grants.
00:45:39.620 Oh, OK, so, wow.
00:45:45.280 So, $75 million to pay artists.
00:45:50.360 OK, who's getting these grants?
00:45:53.780 And I'm an artist.
00:45:55.220 Can I get one?
00:45:57.040 I'm guessing the answer is negatory, chief.
00:46:00.800 Negatory.
00:46:01.520 Howard University for an additional amount for Howard University of $13 million to prepare, to respond to domestically, internationally, help defray the expenses directly caused by coronavirus and enable grants to students for expenses directly related to coronavirus for the disruption of university operations.
00:46:24.000 What, what, what?
00:46:25.040 I mean, how expensive are the books now?
00:46:26.740 Well, $13 million for it to, to cover the disruptions, $13 million.
00:46:34.240 I mean, can I just tell you, in this bill, schools are getting an awful lot of money.
00:46:39.140 And with all due respect for the, the amount of fleecing that these, these universities have done, I think, clean up your own mess.
00:46:48.740 But that's just me.
00:46:50.560 How are they different than the plumber right down the road?
00:46:54.960 How come Beacon Plumbing is not getting millions of dollars?
00:46:59.400 I mean, keeping my crapper clean and, and flushing with all this toilet paper that I now have.
00:47:05.560 I mean, that seems to be more critical to me than, you know, giving grants to students for the disruption of university operations.
00:47:14.880 I don't even know what that means.
00:47:16.440 Also notice all of these domestic or international.
00:47:23.460 That's that phrase is mentioned 115 times in the document.
00:47:29.540 Why does Howard need to spend money outside the U S how much money exactly is going to be leaving the U S because I thought we were bailing out the United States.
00:47:38.780 Source of funds used for payments of salaries and expenses of tiny findings, child development center.
00:47:47.700 The government accountability office may reimburse the tiny findings, child development center for salaries for employees incurred from April 1st to September 30th, 2020.
00:47:57.260 For employees of such center who have been ordered to cease working doing due to measures taken in the capital complex to combat coronavirus, not to exceed a hundred thousand dollars a month.
00:48:08.600 So this is the tiny little findings, child development center that's in the capital.
00:48:12.460 So they took care of theirs.
00:48:13.820 But what about all the little Chinese, the, the, uh, the child findings development centers that are around the country?
00:48:21.580 I was just with, uh, the bank president of my local bank, just what a day ago, two days ago.
00:48:28.840 And we were talking, he runs a small business on top of that one.
00:48:32.880 He runs a daycare.
00:48:35.340 He and his daughter run a daycare.
00:48:37.020 I said, how's that going?
00:48:38.000 He said, not well, I don't know how we're going to keep those doors open.
00:48:41.600 Well, okay, well, how come he doesn't get any help?
00:48:47.360 See, this is the kind of stuff that drives people nuts.
00:48:52.980 This is the kind of stuff that gives, that creates the Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street.
00:48:58.020 It does.
00:48:59.460 Now they're giving to a private nonprofit.
00:49:02.260 Well, how come Mercury won?
00:49:03.420 We do a lot of good.
00:49:04.500 How come we're not on that?
00:49:05.840 How do you even get in line on that?
00:49:07.360 You don't.
00:49:07.960 Extension of Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program.
00:49:15.500 $48,287,671 for the period beginning October 1st, 2019 and ending May 22nd, May 22nd of 2020.
00:49:29.900 Excuse me.
00:49:31.580 Okay, wait.
00:49:32.160 For the period beginning October 1st, 16, 2019, that's in the past, and ending May 22nd, and they need $50 million?
00:49:41.040 I mean, I'm sure they're doing great work.
00:49:43.080 No, I mean that sincerely.
00:49:44.760 But $50 million spent on telling people to self-regulate sexual risk?
00:49:49.600 Wouldn't, you know, hey, everybody stay in shelter in place.
00:49:56.200 Shouldn't that stop all risky behavior?
00:49:58.400 I mean, you're only having sex with the people that you're trapped with.
00:50:02.820 Isn't that kind of sorting that out?
00:50:04.480 I give that one to you for free, United States government.
00:50:09.860 Federal work study during qualifying emergency in general.
00:50:13.980 In the event of a qualifying emergency, an institution of higher education participating in the program under Part C of Title IV of the Higher Education Act, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:25.640 If they affected work study students for the period of time not to extend one academic year in which affected students are unable to fulfill the student's work study obligation for all or part of such academic year due to such qualifying emergencies as follows, payments may be made, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:42.120 So, wait, students who work will get full-time paychecks for not working.
00:50:51.380 When did we start giving students a pension?
00:50:55.240 Do plumbers get that?
00:50:58.580 Section 3510, continuing education at affected foreign institutions.
00:51:04.220 Oh, be nice if we had more information on this section, more detail on exactly how they're going to pay, who they're going to pay for what, how much.
00:51:11.620 But, nope, that's all it was.
00:51:13.200 Section 3510, continuing education at affected foreign institutions.
00:51:17.500 Don't know what that is.
00:51:18.760 Don't know how much they get.
00:51:20.340 Don't know where that money's going.
00:51:23.480 Temporary relief for student loan borrowers.
00:51:26.720 The secretary shall suspend all payments due for loans made under Part D and Part B held by the Department of Education, blah, blah, blah, through September 30th, 2020.
00:51:36.460 Consideration of payments notwithstanding any other provision in the higher education, blah, blah, blah.
00:51:41.540 Secretary shall deem each month for which the loan payment was suspended under the section as if the borrower of the loan had made the payments for the purpose of any loan forgiveness program.
00:51:51.920 Wait.
00:51:52.880 Hold it.
00:51:53.700 What?
00:51:54.160 Yeah, you heard that right.
00:51:57.240 They're not just putting a hold on student loans.
00:52:00.640 As long as the student claims this is an emergency, we're going to count each month as if we paid the loan for them.
00:52:09.340 Uh, wait a minute.
00:52:13.580 Excuse me.
00:52:14.160 What?
00:52:15.340 I just I just last hour outlined what you should be doing, and that is you should be calling your governor right now and telling the governor to put pressure on the banks to just put a moratorium on your mortgage for three months.
00:52:31.720 Yes, that's business mortgages.
00:52:34.060 That's, you know, your your mortgage payment.
00:52:37.540 If you have any kind of mortgage payment, that should be suspended for three months because we can use that money to a take the pressure off of families and they don't lose their homes.
00:52:48.140 Take the pressure off of businesses.
00:52:50.320 Yeah.
00:52:50.560 Cheesecake Factory said they can't meet their mortgage payment.
00:52:53.080 They may have to close.
00:52:54.140 Don't let that happen.
00:52:55.240 America.
00:52:55.620 Everyone could take that burden off their shoulders, but I didn't ask that the government makes those payments.
00:53:05.220 The government is is counting from now until September as they're making all of the payments for the student loans.
00:53:13.800 Oh, my gosh, I can't.
00:53:17.060 Do it.
00:53:18.060 I can't do it.
00:53:21.000 Inclusion of certain over the counter medicines qualified as medical expenses.
00:53:26.380 Guess what, Stu?
00:53:27.300 Guess what?
00:53:27.900 What?
00:53:28.300 Guess what?
00:53:28.840 Guess what we're paying for?
00:53:30.180 Guess what we're paying for?
00:53:31.780 I don't know what.
00:53:33.180 Yeah.
00:53:34.400 Tampons, pads, liners, cups, sponge.
00:53:37.760 We're doing it all.
00:53:39.360 Good.
00:53:39.940 I was hoping that would happen.
00:53:41.480 Finally.
00:53:42.340 Finally.
00:53:42.560 How many times have we demanded this?
00:53:44.880 I know.
00:53:45.200 I've always thought, you know, we should be paying for tampons and genital tract secretions.
00:53:51.520 And so we're doing it.
00:53:53.200 So that's that's really good.
00:53:55.040 Temporary government in the Sunshine Act relief.
00:53:59.720 If the chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System determines in writing that unusual and extreme circumstances exist, the board may conduct meetings without regard to the requirements of Section 552B of Title 5 United States Code.
00:54:15.820 So during the period beginning, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:54:17.960 Now.
00:54:19.400 That's great.
00:54:20.180 Sounds wonderful, except I don't know what U.S. Code Title 5 Section 552B says.
00:54:25.540 No big deal.
00:54:26.660 I mean, I looked it up.
00:54:28.540 It's just a mandate that all meetings have to be open to the public observation.
00:54:34.400 So, you know, we would have some idea of what's going on, but they don't have to do that now.
00:54:38.800 They don't have to be open to the public.
00:54:41.360 U.S. Code 552B open meetings.
00:54:45.440 A member shall not jointly conduct or dispose any agency business other in accordance with this section, blah, blah, blah.
00:54:50.280 So this is all super, super great.
00:54:53.160 But wait, there's more.
00:54:56.100 Lots and lots more coming up in one minute.
00:55:13.420 I want to talk to you a little bit about real estate agents.
00:55:15.960 I trust dot com.
00:55:17.600 You know, we are in a we're in a different world right now.
00:55:23.800 And.
00:55:26.580 And I want you to understand that the world we're living in means how are you going to sell your house?
00:55:33.200 These are unparalleled times.
00:55:35.200 We don't know how this is all going to affect us.
00:55:38.080 It makes people uneasy and worried and everything else.
00:55:41.060 If you need to sell your house or buy a new house, I know the stress that normally comes with it.
00:55:47.820 And the stress now is even worse.
00:55:50.940 We are fortunate to work with some of the top agents in America.
00:55:54.820 These are the best of the best.
00:55:56.820 These are the people with the best track record, in our opinion, for a range of different things.
00:56:02.600 These are people who are going to tell you the truth, give you the best advice that is right for you.
00:56:07.200 You need to work with an agent right now that can bring solutions to you and your home that they can take cash offers.
00:56:15.620 Or maybe, you know, maybe it's just time to upgrade and get your house ready to sell for the summer month.
00:56:21.620 I don't know what you should do, but I will tell you that realestateagentsitrust.com, if you go there, we will send the best real estate agent, in our opinion, over to your home.
00:56:36.560 We'll give you their number.
00:56:37.480 You can set up the interview, but you interview them.
00:56:41.660 I think, you know, it's worth just looking into having somebody tell you, what do you need to do to prepare?
00:56:48.320 Use this time to prepare, so when that market opens back up again, it opens up wide for you.
00:56:56.220 Not every market is closed right now, but some of the bigger cities are.
00:57:00.220 But if you need to buy or sell a home, please go with the people that you can trust to do it right.

00:57:12.200 10-second station ID.
00:57:18.320 Agricultural programs, the office of the secretary for an additional amount, the office of the secretary of, hang on just a second.
00:57:39.720 Yeah, $9,500,000,000 to remain available until expended, to remain available until expended, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus by providing support for agricultural producers impacted by coronavirus, including producers of specialty crops, producers that supply local food systems, including farmer markets, restaurants, schools, livestock producers, including dairy producers.
00:58:07.160 Now, that is quite the bailout.
00:58:12.140 I mean, this money can't possibly be going to the big evil farm corporation, fat cats, right?
00:58:19.340 Just for family farmers, right?
00:58:22.020 Have they been hit that hard?
00:58:23.720 I know, I know what's coming is going to hit them.
00:58:27.460 Uh, and what's coming is a lack of workers because we've stopped all visas to be able to come in and work the fields.
00:58:37.820 So how are they going to plant?
00:58:39.800 How are they, and what amount of money is going to get people to plant and do work that Americans don't do anymore?
00:58:47.600 $9.5 billion, billion, billion dollars.
00:58:55.500 And may I just point out, all throughout this, it's available until expended.
00:59:01.900 Why don't we just wait to see how much we need?
00:59:04.520 Put that money back out there.
00:59:06.540 Say, okay, we think farmers might need $9.5 billion.
00:59:09.940 And then let's put that money out there and then let's gauge it and let's spend what we have to spend.
00:59:17.740 Why is it until it's expended?
00:59:19.880 Why the motivation to give that money away?
00:59:25.160 By the way, till expended, uh, that is only appearing in the document 33 times.
00:59:31.500 So 33 times that money is gone, no matter what happens, uh, in, because of this, because of this virus.
00:59:42.940 So I think that's, uh, I think that's good.
00:59:45.820 I could tell you about the, um, 15th replenishment, but I mean, you know what that is.
00:59:53.180 So I don't even think I need to go into the, how much money is going to the 15th, um, replenishment.
00:59:59.040 Oh, you don't, you don't know what that is.
01:00:02.120 Don't worry.
01:00:02.920 Just, you know, your tax money's, you know, going to Africa.
01:00:07.460 Don't worry about it.
01:00:08.800 Do you know that the, the entire continent of Africa has fewer cases of coronavirus than New York or Westchester or Nassau or Chicago or Seattle, the entire continent.
01:00:21.900 Sure.
01:00:22.420 But our children's children's grandchildren are going to be paying for the money that we're sending over so they can fight the coronavirus in this bill.
01:00:31.040 This is what this is sick.
01:00:32.580 It's interesting about all of this is that we're going to see plenty of countries go through this without any social distancing or anything.
01:00:38.420 Because I guarantee there's cases in Africa.
01:00:40.520 They're just not testing at all.
01:00:41.780 Of course there are.
01:00:42.440 So this is basically happening in Mexico, uh, right on our border.
01:00:48.120 They're not doing much of anything.
01:00:49.320 No, no, no, no, no, we're not, we're not protecting our borders.
01:00:52.260 Now people can come in here, get it, you know, uh, in Mexico and then come across the border.
01:00:57.240 And don't worry when that becomes a pandemic there, don't worry about our overcrowded hospitals.
01:01:03.800 They won't flood the American hospitals.
01:01:06.540 That won't be a problem.
01:01:11.800 Okay.
01:01:12.940 Um, I, I, I want to tell you about life lock.
01:01:16.760 If you're as smart as I believe you are, you're the type of person who didn't get completely taken off guard financially.
01:01:22.420 When the stock market stepped on several dozen dozen rakes here recently, maybe you've got cash emergency fund that covers your bills for a month.
01:01:30.960 Maybe if something goes wrong, maybe you have a generator or something sitting in the garage, just in case, maybe you went out and maybe you went out and bought a loom.
01:01:39.260 If anybody has a loom, it's members of this audience.
01:01:41.700 They have a loom listen, you are a responsible person.
01:01:46.200 And I want to make sure that you are responsible in the digital world as well.
01:01:49.800 Cyber criminals and identity thieves are getting smarter all the time with all of this money out there.
01:01:55.320 You don't think they are having a celebration.
01:01:57.960 They are looking for information.
01:02:00.620 You know, the federal government wants to direct deposit right into your bank account.
01:02:04.960 Now from the IRS, you know how much fraud happens with the IRS every single year.
01:02:09.980 Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

01:02:28.440 Arguing with Socialists is the new book by Glenn Beck out April 7th.
01:02:31.660 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:02:42.100 We're glad you're here.
01:02:42.980 I just got this in.
01:02:44.180 Glenn, I wanted to let you all know about the three-month mortgage deferment that we've been offered here in Florida.
01:02:50.080 We've had two hurricanes in the last three years.
01:02:52.360 Both times we were offered this from either Regions Bank or Wells Fargo.
01:02:56.040 What they offered was no mortgage payments for three months.
01:02:58.840 Then, the fourth month, we had to pay all three payments at once.
01:03:02.520 Not sure what they're doing in California, but I imagine it's the same.
01:03:05.380 Could you guys check into it and call them out on it?
01:03:08.700 It's worse than no help at all.
01:03:10.480 If that's what they're doing, then that is worse than nothing at all.
01:03:15.740 What I'm talking about is an actual, not a deferment, an actual pass.
01:03:20.640 If you want to defer it, then fold it back into the lump sum of the mortgage and just extend it three more months after your mortgage, your loan agreement.
01:03:35.420 Just extend it after that.
01:03:37.260 Otherwise, just don't make that payment for three months.
01:03:40.920 That's the way to help people actually stop taking so much money from them.
01:03:48.460 And you're not taking, we all agreed on this, but when you let people keep their own money, it's better than giving them money.
01:03:59.420 Let them keep that money for three months and let them use it as they see fit, because that is our biggest concern, I think, is our house, our rent, our mortgages.
01:04:11.600 And by suspending that and by the state suspending property taxes, yeah, it's going to hurt.
01:04:18.380 It's going to hurt the state.
01:04:19.660 But you know what?
01:04:21.260 It's going to hurt the state even more if we all can't afford anything and we all go out.
01:04:26.300 So I would urge you to call your governors and ask them to suspend property taxes and also to suspend mortgages for a three-month period to go and negotiate with the banks and see if you can get that extended or suspended for three months.
01:04:45.720 Not some sort of deferment program like that, but actually suspend it for three months.
01:04:51.920 I think we could get back on our feet and the stress would go way down on people.
01:04:58.320 All right.
01:04:58.980 We have Ben Weingarten on.
01:05:00.360 Ben is a friend of the program.
01:05:02.760 He worked for the Blaze.
01:05:04.420 He's just a great guy.
01:05:06.440 He's the author of a new book called American In Great.
01:05:10.060 He's now the senior contributor for The Federalist.
01:05:12.980 Welcome to the program, Ben Weingarten.
01:05:15.760 Glenn, thanks so much for having me.
01:05:17.200 I really appreciate it.
01:05:18.940 You bet.
01:05:19.360 First, can we talk about coronavirus?
01:05:21.480 What are your thoughts on what this really is and how we're going to weather this?
01:05:28.600 Yeah.
01:05:29.380 My biggest concern ultimately is twofold.
01:05:34.280 It's that we need to inculcate a message that, one, communist China is a global menace.
01:05:40.820 They are the responsible party for this.
01:05:42.960 The information operation that they're engaged in right now to try to make, first of all,
01:05:48.360 sow discord by raising this whole narrative of it's racist to call it the Chinese coronavirus
01:05:53.520 needs to be combated.
01:05:55.740 Now they're trying to act as the world's saviors, arguing that they have this pandemic under
01:06:00.940 control based upon data that, of course, we can't trust.
01:06:04.260 The finger needs to be pointed squarely at China, and this underscores the imperative
01:06:09.760 that we decouple from China in every single strategically significant sector, period, full stop.
01:06:16.660 And then on the home front, I think the real takeaway is that, one, we should not be making
01:06:22.140 mass decisions to shut down our entire society and cause definitive damage on the basis of shoddy
01:06:29.960 data and the shoddy models that spit out that data.
01:06:34.960 And number two, given the massive financial shock to our system of this, I think what the
01:06:41.600 coronavirus underscores is that we need to get our fiscal house in order, and that's both
01:06:45.620 at the governmental level, in our businesses, and in our homes as well.
01:06:51.220 Well, it's easier said than done when they just wrote a check for $2 trillion, and the Fed
01:06:56.000 wrote a check on the same day for $4 trillion.
01:06:58.180 I mean, it took from George Washington and George W. Bush to rack up $6 trillion in debt,
01:07:02.920 and they did it in one blink two nights ago.
01:07:06.180 I mean, it's remarkable.
01:07:10.240 Do you see us, you know, with the labor numbers coming out last night at 3.2, or this morning,
01:07:17.740 3.28 million new people on unemployment?
01:07:21.180 That's by far the biggest record.
01:07:26.240 Do you see us going into a depression, or can we turn the lights back on here in a few
01:07:31.200 weeks and still be able to roar back?
01:07:33.520 I think there's going to be a lag, and it's going to be incredibly painful for Americans
01:07:40.800 from turning the lights back on to actually seeing an uptick in business activity and
01:07:46.940 productivity.
01:07:48.140 What I would emphasize is, look at the way the Democrats have tried to use this crisis
01:07:53.140 to put forth basically as temporary measures all of the agenda items that they want over
01:07:59.080 the long term, where is the Republican counter-response of, here's our agenda so that we have a rip-roaring
01:08:06.180 economy coming out of this, and all of this pent-up demand and excitement, where's our response?
01:08:12.600 Yeah, well, we don't have one because we don't have a bunch of people in Congress that have
01:08:16.640 a clue as to what really a conservative constitutionalist really means.
01:08:21.580 There's only a couple of them in there.
01:08:22.860 Let me switch topics here.
01:08:25.200 You've just written a new book on Ilhan Omar, and I think this is one of the biggest stories.
01:08:31.260 This is bigger than the McCarthy hearings, bigger than that scandal, and yet Ilhan Omar is probably
01:08:41.800 not going to go down as the supervillain that I think she really is.
01:08:46.360 It really is remarkable, and what I suggest the real story on Ilhan Omar is, is that we
01:08:54.760 know about her radical rhetoric, her agenda of socialism at home and surrender abroad.
01:09:01.700 We know about the personal scandal that you've hammered home on your show about her corruption
01:09:07.380 and associated criminality, not just stemming from the alleged fraudulent marriage likely
01:09:13.980 to her brother, but all manner of other criminal potential violations and clear ethical violations
01:09:20.540 as well, but that this is a person who represents where the Democratic Party is going, if not
01:09:25.980 where it already is, and in her own right has amassed a substantial amount of power.
01:09:31.480 And what I suggest in the book is that if you look at the people with whom she's consorted,
01:09:35.980 the groups who have paid her money, the policy position she stakes out, this is someone who
01:09:40.820 you want to talk about a case of clear-cut collusion. This is someone who I make the case
01:09:44.980 has colluded with terror-tied Islamist adversaries, both foreign and domestic, and therefore, she
01:09:51.540 poses a literal danger to the life and limb of Americans as someone who sits on the House
01:09:56.380 Foreign Affairs Committee. But more broadly, she really represents the fact that it is the
01:10:00.480 squad's Democratic Party right now, and we're seeing that play out in any number of areas.
01:10:05.560 So you don't think that what happened with Bernie Sanders and everything else, that that
01:10:11.260 shows that the Democrats are pulling back from the brink?
01:10:15.920 So I wrote an article about this, actually, a bit earlier this week, where I make the case
01:10:19.820 that Biden, or I would call it really generic Democrat establishment candidate, may be winning
01:10:25.840 the primary battles, but Bernie Sanders is winning the ideological war. And you see that in the fact
01:10:31.740 that Biden has staked out further left positions than at any time in his career, the Democratic
01:10:37.180 presidential field itself was further left than ever before. Biden has been constantly saying,
01:10:42.600 look, Bernie, we agree on principles, we agree on the vision, we just differ a little bit
01:10:46.260 on how to get there. The biggest metric that I think demonstrates this, and I argue this in the book,
01:10:52.140 is that when the Congressional Progressive Caucus started in the early 90s, there were six members.
01:10:57.340 Bernie Sanders is one of them. Today, there are just under 100 members of the Congressional
01:11:02.960 Progressive Caucus. More than 40% of the Democrats in the House are members of the Congressional
01:11:07.940 Progressive Caucus. They are the ones engaging in a long march to take over their party, and they're
01:11:13.000 being very successful at it.
01:11:15.500 So let me go back to Ilan Omar, because she's in the fifth congressional district in Minnesota.
01:11:22.160 That has become the hotbed for terrorists and the number one training ground, if I'm not mistaken,
01:11:30.600 in the country while she's been in office.
01:11:34.740 And even before that, and it bears noting, I'm sure your listeners won't be surprised by this,
01:11:39.560 that this was Keith Ellison's district before it was Ilhan Omar's district.
01:11:43.660 And what I suggest is that she is someone who has consorted with every single U.S.-based Islamist
01:11:51.860 group imaginable. She is basically CARE, the Council on American Islamic Relations, is woman in
01:11:57.800 Congress. She supports their policies. She speaks in front of them. She's generated income from CARE as
01:12:04.620 well. She aligns perfectly in terms of her vision of what American foreign policy would be, namely
01:12:10.360 siding with Islamist adversaries against anti-Islamists. And then at home, disarming
01:12:15.660 ourselves, not fighting the jihadist threat, actually treating white males as the primary
01:12:20.880 terroristic threat in this country. And oh, by the way, this is someone who herself has actually
01:12:26.560 known several Somali Americans who then went to go fight on behalf of jihadist groups. She's never
01:12:32.760 explained what her relationship with those individuals was. It's just one of the major questions
01:12:36.960 I raise in this book. So the name of the book is American Ingrate by Ben Weingarten. Ben, last
01:12:43.200 question. We've been on this story forever. There is no one in the mainstream media that will touch
01:12:49.120 this. Do you see anything that's going to change that? I mean, how do you get her out?
01:12:56.800 The only way that I see this going down, because I do not have faith, unfortunately, necessarily in
01:13:05.520 her constituents in that district is I suspect she thinks that she can act with total impunity and she
01:13:11.880 has been proven right so far. And her camp attacks anyone who dares to raise this story as being a
01:13:18.120 bigot, even though it would be bigoted to hold her to a different standard than anyone else. So what I
01:13:23.020 would suggest is that, first of all, we need to keep hammering home the truth, not be cowed into
01:13:27.860 submission by her attacks, including her campaign's attacks on me after I put this book out, actually.
01:13:33.040 We need to keep speaking forcefully, boldly, and honestly. And beyond that point, I think she is
01:13:38.180 going to make missteps because she's so confident that she's untouchable.
01:13:43.260 Ben Weingarten, thank you so much. If you're stuck at home, even if you're not stuck at home,
01:13:47.300 worth the read, American in great from senior contributor of the Federalist and good friend
01:13:53.880 of mine, Ben Weingarten. Thanks, Ben. Appreciate it. Thanks so much, Glenn.
01:14:05.300 Now, on the rare occasion, when you do leave your house, you leave your house and you lock it up as
01:14:10.800 you should lock it up. Hang on just a second. I mean, I'm on the wrong I'm on the wrong page here.
01:14:18.480 I want to talk to you about rough greens. I want to talk to you about what has happened to my dog.
01:14:23.280 Uno. Are you FF greens? Are you FF greens? The only the only supplement that dogs ask for by name
01:14:31.060 rough greens. Anyway, this is a this is a series of minerals that you put on the food. It's
01:14:40.760 not dog food. It's it's vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, even omega oils
01:14:46.000 and antioxidants. I brought this home. My dog loved it. I mean, so much. It's like crack that
01:14:53.280 my wife's like, we're taking this to the vet. I want to make sure we're not giving him something.
01:14:57.900 I said, look at the bag. It's all natural stuff. I want to take it to the vet. OK, so she took it to
01:15:03.040 the vet and the vet said, this stuff's fantastic. And I said, of course, it is, honey. Right as usual.
01:15:12.440 You know what I'm saying? But on my walk home from the vet is Tanya drove home. I thought to myself,
01:15:19.280 maybe I should have made this her idea and I wouldn't be living in the doghouse. Rough greens.

01:15:47.520 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:15:50.340 Everybody's talking about those old virus blues.
01:16:08.080 Everybody's doing something.
01:16:09.920 Everybody's doing. This is Andy Eversol. He's a guy from North Carolina.
01:16:14.620 Just pounding out something. It sounds very depression like, doesn't it?
01:16:19.460 The coronavirus blues. Welcome back to the program. This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:16:25.440 I have to play something that was making the rounds that caught my eye. It's from the FDIC.
01:16:33.460 Now, there's something about this that just doesn't make me feel more comfortable. And I want to play it
01:16:39.300 for you. Here's a message from the FDIC.
01:16:42.460 We're living in unprecedented time. At a time of a pandemic like this, it is way too easy to get
01:16:49.200 confused and to have fear about what you should be doing with your money and your accounts,
01:16:54.580 especially as you're looking at the volatility in the stock market and the financial sector.
01:17:00.080 This is what I would like you to take away from this.
01:17:02.480 Your money is safe at the banks. The last thing you should be doing is pulling your money out of
01:17:07.160 the banks now, thinking that it's going to be safer someplace else.
01:17:10.300 You don't want to be walking around.
01:17:11.860 Stop, stop, stop. Stu, is it just me?
01:17:16.140 Is it just me? We shouldn't have gotten somebody that sounds a little like Vladimir Putin to be
01:17:21.200 telling us, look, everything. I know that there are bogus videos that are going around the internet
01:17:26.800 right now telling you what you should do with money. But this isn't definitely not one of them.
01:17:32.100 Keep money in bank. Everything is fine. That part of it is just more comedic. But
01:17:41.680 the other part is, why are they putting this out? What are you doing?
01:17:48.940 I didn't have a problem with my money in the bank, but now I do.
01:17:52.980 Now I'm like, why are you telling me this? Is everybody else running for the bank to get their
01:17:57.880 money out? There's a bit of an element there of your wife coming home and just saying, by the way,
01:18:01.860 I want you to know, I'm not cheating on you. And you should not be worried that I'm cheating on
01:18:06.260 you in any way. You know, we've been together for such a long time and we've never had a problem.
01:18:10.700 Therefore, cheating is an irrational fear. So I'm not cheating on you. This is what I would like you
01:18:16.440 to take away from this discussion. I'm not cheating on you.
01:18:19.720 Wait, you know what I take away from that discussion? You're cheating on me. That's what I take away.
01:18:24.640 You know, it's really funny because some of these messages where they're trying to make us feel
01:18:29.300 better, it only makes us feel worse. You know, the government says, we just wanted to take some
01:18:35.100 unprecedented action. So everybody knows we're going to be fine. You know, we put a $2 trillion deal
01:18:42.000 together. The Fed's coming up with another $4 trillion. So everything's fine. No, wait, I don't
01:18:48.840 think everything's fine or you wouldn't be doing that. Why are you doing that? Everything's definitely
01:18:54.600 not fine. How's the, uh, how's the stock market doing right now, Stu? It is up approximately 800
01:19:01.620 points. Um, shut up. Yeah. Really? Even with unemployment down, what? Over a million more
01:19:09.920 people than they thought. Worst case scenario. Yeah. I mean, we all expected it to be really
01:19:14.480 bad. This is actually worse than it was expected, but at the same time, they're expected like 2.2
01:19:19.780 When they're expecting $6 trillion to be injected into the economy in one way or another, they're
01:19:25.160 saying at least there's a short-term sugar rush out of that. Whether that puts us out of business
01:19:29.560 in the long run is a totally different story, but that's the way the markets are reacting.
01:19:33.780 Well, you shouldn't react this way. You should react responsibly. Uh, no sugar rush. No sugar
01:19:40.240 rush for you. Don't worry. Keep money. It's fine. No sugar. What?
01:19:54.880 Hello, America. Welcome to Thursday. We have our COVID-19 update for you in just a second.
01:20:00.780 Stand by for that. Uh, also not as much of a prediction as just a consequence of what's
01:20:10.660 happening. As I look at all of the trends around the world and I see what we have done
01:20:15.320 in our own country, I want to give you a warning and something you can do about it. Uh, I want
01:20:20.300 you to do it, uh, first before everybody else catches on, uh, so you can protect your family
01:20:28.100 and share it with your friends as well. You don't want to be late to this party. And I'll tell you

01:21:22.080 dinner. I saw he ran, he ran to his bowl. I've never seen my dog do that ever. Uh, he loves this
01:21:35.500 stuff and there is a huge difference in him. Enormous. I've never seen him like this before.

01:22:42.340 all the numbers 530 AM are locked in from Johns Hopkins university. Total confirmed cases worldwide
01:22:48.680 now 486,702 up from 434 yesterday. Total confirmed deaths only up 3000 worldwide, 22,000. Now a total
01:23:00.900 confirmed recovered worldwide 117. That's up 6,000 from yesterday. 4% of active cases are now considered
01:23:09.020 serious requiring hospitalization. That is steady from 4% yesterday, but down from 19% in February,
01:23:17.840 12% of us confirmed cases do require hospitalization at this point.
01:23:25.580 So the U S now has 65,581 confirmed cases and a thousand deaths yesterday. Uh, it was 784 that had died
01:23:37.160 and we're up about 12,000 now in cases overnight. We now have 428 official recovered against 1036 deaths
01:23:48.320 brother. Can you spare 2 trillion? As we found out this morning, the unemployment rate has gone through
01:23:56.040 the roof up over a thousand percent in a week. We have gone from 292 jobs, uh, being created 292,000
01:24:07.020 jobs being created to 3.28 million jobs lost. Those people getting online to, uh, file for unemployment.
01:24:17.120 That is in the first week of the Corona virus. This is the biggest turnaround and biggest job loss in
01:24:23.800 American history, but the Senate passed the roughly true trillion dollar economic relief response. Um,
01:24:31.960 we're supposed to be getting direct payments right into your bank account. Every American,
01:24:35.760 well, not every American, but those deemed worthy will get $1,200 in two to three weeks,
01:24:42.260 2,400 plus up to four months and unemployment benefits. Uh, Cuomo has confirmed what introverts
01:24:50.460 have long known. Social distancing seems to be working in New York. That's a very positive sign.
01:24:56.780 Anybody who went to Mardi Gras were the beads worth it. Mardi Gras now getting blamed for the big,
01:25:03.140 easy outbreak. This is the perfect storm. They say, uh, fat Tuesday, uh, is, is really when,
01:25:12.260 uh, the heads up from the government, uh, came in and said, Hey, you should not be, uh, gathering,
01:25:19.780 but there were 1.4 million tourists there. We quote shared drink cups. We shared each other's space
01:25:25.640 in crowds. People were in close contacts, catching beads. It's now clear. They also caught more than
01:25:31.680 beads trouble for the big, easy U S military officially now on a no travel lockdown. If you're
01:25:39.880 in the military, you're not to travel at all. They want to make sure that none of this virus
01:25:44.680 is being spread anywhere else, including in the own ranks. And for the best darn face mask in the whole
01:25:52.420 wide world, we have my pillow to thank for it. My pillow now is, is going to be making face masks.
01:26:03.300 They will go. Mike Lindell said they'll do whatever it takes to make these. We're going to hopefully be
01:26:09.260 going from 10,000 units a day to 50,000 units a day in a very short period of time. Mike Lindell joins
01:26:16.880 literally hundreds of other companies in the U S who have heeded the call of president Trump
01:26:21.060 to convert production to respirators, masks, ventilators, gowns, and other needed equipment.
01:26:27.620 And some good news, further evidence that COVID-19 is seasonal and may spread less in the summer
01:26:34.520 months. Don't let that fool you. It will come back in the fall. If it is seasonal, it, we won't be over
01:26:43.660 it, but it will give us a chance to really kind of catch our breath. We hang on. Who is on the
01:26:50.720 I'm sorry. I'm, um, Wilfred from the Biden campaign is on the phone with us now. Not expecting a call
01:27:00.320 Wilfred. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
01:27:09.280 Hello. Hello. Yes. Wilfred. I'd like to speak on the radio, please.
01:27:16.660 You're on the radio. Yes. You interrupted the host of the program.
01:27:22.500 That's me. Wilfred. You're on. Go ahead.
01:27:25.380 No, my name is Wilfred. The host's name is also Wilfred.
01:27:29.320 Wilfred. No, I'm, this is Glenn Beck. You called into the show. You're with the Biden campaign.
01:27:36.620 Hello. My name is Wilfred. I'm calling from Sun City, Florida.
01:27:42.120 Yes. Yes. I am the youth outreach director for the Biden campaign.
01:27:47.040 Youth outreach director. Yes. Yes. Okay.
01:27:50.140 And I wanted to get a message to your audience. If I may. Yes. Go ahead. Yes. Go ahead. Please.
01:27:58.000 Um, it's, it's not the, the, the Corona virus. Have you heard of, do you know what I've heard? Yes. We've, we all know it.
01:28:07.540 The Corona virus is, is being talked about as if it only affects elderly people. And I want your audience to know that it also can affect young people like you and I.
01:28:20.140 And even, even, even youngsters like Joe Biden can be affected by this show.
01:28:27.700 Was, we have decided as a campaign to protect Joe Biden from Corona virus.
01:28:35.980 And we, we will be putting him in, in a, in a lockdown.
01:28:41.440 There's a shed behind his home and he will be behind his home until November.
01:28:48.240 We also, he's, wait a minute. He's already in his house. So I, I mean, you just wired his house for television and you know, he's doing these, uh, these, these group meetings online now.
01:29:00.160 Well, we're, we, uh, we've looked at the research scientifically and discovered a worry that is not being talked about that Corona virus may pass through cameras.
01:29:15.220 Um, which I don't think any of that's true.
01:29:17.620 Well, we are, we are, we want to be very careful.
01:29:20.640 So we are not going to have Joe do any interviews or speeches or appearances of any kind until November.
01:29:28.700 Right.
01:29:29.780 November.
01:29:30.680 And that's because you're, you're, yeah, you're afraid, uh, mid November, the, the, the election will be over by mid November.
01:29:39.940 Yeah. Well, he's planning to vote by mail.
01:29:43.500 Right. Okay. No, but I mean, nobody will see him. He won't have a chance to talk to the American people.
01:29:49.060 Well, safety first, of course, he would like to tell you about the plan he's putting together for Corona, Corona virus. Do you know, have you heard of the Corona?
01:30:01.600 I've heard about the, yes, but what is his plan? Do you have it there?
01:30:04.520 Step one, stay home and keep the economy going.
01:30:10.060 Step two, meet online only, but make sure to wash your hands before typing.
01:30:19.280 Step three, only talk to people who are on your lap.
01:30:27.840 What was that last one again?
01:30:30.440 It was, what are you there?
01:30:35.680 Oh yes. Only talk to people who are on your lap.
01:30:40.840 Really? Okay. Why is that on the top of your lap? I think the top of your lap, top of your lap.
01:30:48.120 Yes. Talk to them. All right. Um, if you do these things, Joe Biden will be giving out iPod shuffles, uh, to all people who volunteer.
01:30:58.500 Those are hard to get.
01:31:00.520 And I know that you have an audience who may lean a little to the, to the right side of, maybe not so friendly to some of the policies of, of Joe.
01:31:14.440 However, he wants to address that with, with his second amendment plan.
01:31:19.240 Okay. What's his second amendment plan?
01:31:22.420 Everyone is allowed one blunderbuss. If you, uh, if all, that's, that's all you need. If someone's coming into your house, you just walk out on your porch and you fire your blunderbuss into the sky.
01:31:36.540 Right.
01:31:36.980 And then everyone will know that they're not allowed to come over while you're dancing the June bug.
01:31:44.160 All right. Thank you very much, Wilfred.
01:31:46.380 That's the Joe Biden guarantee.
01:31:48.820 All right. Thank you very much, Wilfred.
01:31:51.480 From the, uh, Joe Biden youth outreach.
01:31:55.660 Uh, is a hard time getting that thing hung up.
01:31:59.680 All right. Relief factor.
01:32:01.940 There was a time where, uh, I had a really, really hard time just even getting out of bed.
01:32:11.020 And you, when you're in pain and constant pain, everything you do is a struggle and you get up.
01:32:18.460 And I know I did get up every day and I go, I can't do, I just can't keep doing this.
01:32:24.300 This is killing me.
01:32:25.660 I can't live with this pain like that.
01:32:27.280 So you have two choices. You either succumb to it or you fight through it.
01:32:31.260 And you know what? Fighting through it, it's good.
01:32:34.520 But after 10 years of fighting through pain, you're like, okay, okay, okay.
01:32:38.500 Something's got to change.
01:32:39.980 Well, my wife forced me to start taking relief factor.
01:32:44.620 Relief factor is a miracle for me.
01:32:48.280 Just a miracle.
01:32:49.520 I couldn't paint. I couldn't even write anymore.
01:32:52.620 I'd hold a pen or a pencil in my hand.
01:32:55.440 If it was more than just signing my name once, the pain would get so bad in my hands,
01:33:00.900 my hands would cramp up and I couldn't, I couldn't write anymore.
01:33:03.880 And I love to handwrite.
01:33:06.760 I hated it.
01:33:08.520 I got my life back because of relief factor.
01:33:11.800 Relief factor.
01:33:12.660 800-500-8384.

01:33:36.000 We pause for 10 seconds.
01:33:37.620 Station ID.
01:33:47.280 So, Stu.
01:33:51.420 Stu, Stu, Stu, Stu.
01:33:53.060 Yes, Glenn.
01:33:53.520 Stu.
01:33:53.920 Mm-hmm.
01:33:55.460 Help me out with this story.
01:33:57.540 A judge in Florida.
01:33:59.740 Now, you know there's trouble already because it's happening in Florida.
01:34:03.480 Mm-hmm.
01:34:03.880 A judge in Florida has granted a motion to have another mental health expert evaluate a Florida college student accused of fatally attacking a couple outside their home and chewing off part of the man's face.
01:34:16.980 Earlier in March, a health expert for the state agreed with the defense expert's assessment that he was insane.
01:34:25.960 In the recent ruling, Circuit Court Judge Sherwood Bauer Jr. said this is the only time he'll grant permission for prosecutors to have a second expert appointed to evaluate him, according to the Palm Beach Post.
01:34:38.240 He's a 19-year-old Florida University student.
01:34:41.540 When the attack happened, he's charged with two counts of first-degree murder with attempted murder on a neighbor who came to the aid of the couple during the attack.
01:34:50.220 Defense expert Dr. Philip Resnick wrote that the young man, now 23, really, truly believed he was half man, half dog when he attacked the couple.
01:35:02.280 The state's expert psychologist evaluated him for five hours, concluded he was insane.
01:35:08.240 Isn't this the wrong argument, too?
01:35:09.660 I mean, if you're a dog and you attack someone like that, they just kill you.
01:35:13.280 So, like, are you arguing for the death penalty?
01:35:16.040 Yeah, this is...
01:35:16.840 Right.
01:35:17.820 So, what my problem is, is why is he insane?
01:35:22.580 If he believed he was half man, half dog, why was he insane?
01:35:27.400 Shouldn't we all have to admit that he's half man, half dog?
01:35:30.800 Shouldn't we all have to say?
01:35:32.200 Shouldn't we all encourage him to be half man, half dog?
01:35:36.180 We're not doubting.
01:35:37.020 Why is this insane?
01:35:38.240 Feelings are, are we?
01:35:39.660 I mean, that's not right.
01:35:40.500 Yeah, he feels, he believes, he's got it.
01:35:43.700 He's choosing to live his life as half man, half dog.
01:35:47.080 Now, we still put him to sleep.
01:35:48.820 Right.
01:35:49.140 But what is the problem with that?
01:35:51.940 Believe all half men, half dogs is the hashtag, I think, that should be trending right now.
01:35:57.260 Because...
01:35:57.720 I know, I know, who am I to judge?
01:36:01.500 Who am I to judge?
01:36:03.000 And maybe this, this couple smelled like bacon.
01:36:08.660 It's very, it's very possible.
01:36:10.820 Most people do, I've found.
01:36:12.780 Most people smell like bacon.
01:36:15.400 Really?
01:36:16.000 Mm-hmm.
01:36:16.800 That must be a torturous world to live in.
01:36:21.100 Well, not for you, because you're, you're a vegan.
01:36:23.400 So, it's not necessarily a torture for you.
01:36:25.960 Yes, no.
01:36:26.660 Or you're a vegetarian.
01:36:28.040 Yes.
01:36:29.020 That's true.
01:36:29.680 It's not, it's not that torturous for me, I suppose.
01:36:32.800 It is a strange, strange approach, though.
01:36:36.540 Because we are told all the time that we are just supposed to embrace these things as they are said.
01:36:42.540 You don't even, there's not even a moment to question them anymore.
01:36:44.800 You just embrace them.
01:36:45.980 Amen, brother.
01:36:46.200 Yeah, like, there was the, the Wuhan virus thing was, sort of went this direction.
01:36:50.760 Everybody in the press was calling it Wuhan virus, and then one day, it just became racist to do the thing they had been doing.
01:36:57.040 And there was never an acknowledgement that they went back and said, well, obviously, it was okay for us to do it at this point, and here's the reasoning.
01:37:04.200 It's just, you're doing it now, you're racist, ignore that we ever did it before.
01:37:08.860 So, the same thing applies here.
01:37:10.060 If you've been telling us we need to accept every little bit of everybody's changes, whatever's going on in their head at that time, why don't we treat, why doesn't this guy get a doghouse?
01:37:20.480 Why don't we give him some rubber toys and see what happens?
01:37:24.020 And encourage him to live his life that way.
01:37:26.520 Make it easier for him to live his life that way.
01:37:29.020 Not excusing his murder, but is not insane, is he, for believing he's a half man, half dog?
01:37:35.600 Well, you can't bring it.
01:37:36.140 Why does that make you insane?
01:37:37.260 You certainly can't bring a dog into court, can you?
01:37:39.360 There's no court for that.
01:37:41.700 So, I think we're, we've handled this all wrong.
01:37:45.640 All right, let me go through some of the mail that I've received here recently.
01:37:50.160 I work at Wegmans Glen in Bel Air, Maryland.
01:37:53.220 Are you familiar with Wegmans, Stu?
01:37:54.700 Yeah, they were back in, I remember them being in like Pennsylvania, I think, when we lived there.
01:37:59.320 Really, they're the best, they're one of the best grocery stores ever, yeah.
01:38:03.940 My position is making patisserie items for the bakery.
01:38:08.700 Oh, I love you.
01:38:10.480 As of last Thursday, when our governor decided to close the schools throughout Maryland, our store and every other grocery store, no demand, has been running at breakneck speed to keep up with demands.
01:38:21.600 Within a 24-hour period, our store had several hand sanitizer machines stationed throughout the building, and a list of new cleaning requirements were enacted.
01:38:28.940 Let me tell you, Wegmans is one of the cleanest stores I've ever seen.
01:38:32.000 Now our place shines and sparkles every two hours.
01:38:34.860 It's amazing how this company has stepped up.
01:38:37.200 Our workforce has changed its responsibility for making product to make sure everyone's safe.
01:38:41.880 It's everywhere with this new mandate.
01:38:44.280 Yesterday, the baker was told not to make any more cake orders until further notice.
01:38:47.720 The reason being, the trucks are needed to bring in the high-demand items, and this is a big deal.
01:38:52.760 On the average Saturday, we have between 40 and 60 cake orders.
01:38:56.800 That's a big deal.
01:38:57.840 They also said we're not able to write on cakes anymore that are out for sale on the floor for fear of cross-contamination.
01:39:03.960 There are grumbles from few people, but most are understanding.
01:39:07.000 I don't know when this is going to get better, but I do know that I'm tremendously blessed to be working for the Wegman family.
01:39:13.180 For the next two months, they're paying both full-time and part-time employees $2 an hour more.
01:39:17.380 They're accepting any request to work more hours to help keep the store clean and safe for all.
01:39:23.480 If for some reason somebody doesn't feel comfortable working because of the virus, they'll consult with you on your options.
01:39:29.040 If you become sick, you're given a 14-day quarantine, and you're paid for it.
01:39:33.600 Wegmans, employers with a heart, I think that's great.
01:39:36.640 And they really are good people and a good grocery store.
01:39:41.040 Glenn, listening yesterday to your show for the first 30 minutes, I realized everyone is probably going through what I am.
01:39:49.540 I'm in my 50s.
01:39:50.440 I have a house payment, truck payment.
01:39:51.960 I have 20 acres.
01:39:53.060 I have a tractor payment.
01:39:54.640 My wife has immune disorder.
01:39:56.220 Therefore, I'm really concerned.
01:39:57.920 But yesterday, the owners of the company informed us we're shutting down for a couple of weeks.
01:40:02.780 Well, part of my job is to watch financial statements.
01:40:05.620 I'm non-optimistic about this.
01:40:08.440 The thing we are missing looking at, financials and bailouts and unemployment benefits, is the men have a need to work.
01:40:17.860 The harder we work, the better we feel about ourselves mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and towards our family.
01:40:23.400 If 50% of us lose our identity, we will find it hard to recover any sense of normalcy.
01:40:28.780 Boy, I think this, this comes in from Jim, I think this is right on target.
01:40:32.680 Um, there's a story that, um, I was told about a work crew.
01:40:38.960 They were just digging ditches.
01:40:40.200 This is back in the work projects.
01:40:42.060 And you could go down and dig ditches and the government would pay you.
01:40:45.500 Um, the guy, the guy came in and he said, I need a job.
01:40:49.100 And the guy said, sorry, everything's full today.
01:40:51.060 You'll have to come back tomorrow.
01:40:52.020 And he said, look, you don't understand.
01:40:53.580 I just have to work.
01:40:54.900 He worked a full day shift for free.
01:40:57.940 He just grabbed a shovel because he needed that self-esteem.
01:41:02.320 There is real truth to that.
01:41:05.620 Jim, you're lucky.
01:41:06.640 Get on your tractor.
01:41:07.820 Start working on the tractor.
01:41:09.120 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:41:14.140 Uh, all right.
01:41:15.240 I want to talk to you about our, uh, our sponsor here for this, uh, half hour.
01:41:19.900 Uh, it is, um, gosh, I'm so sorry.
01:41:24.480 I'm so discombobulated today.
01:41:26.120 It's X chair.
01:41:27.820 I don't know about you, but the last thing that I'm going to get rid of is, uh, a comfortable
01:41:33.980 chair in my office.
01:41:35.420 I mean, I can't have the rec room that Joe Biden has, you know, with the wood paneling
01:41:40.180 and everything.
01:41:40.700 Did you hear that?
01:41:41.480 He called that a rec room where he's broadcast.
01:41:44.120 I thought it was a record.
01:41:44.660 He's had a record called a recreation room.
01:41:46.460 He didn't even.
01:41:47.080 Yeah.
01:41:47.280 Which is even worse.
01:41:48.200 So it's like 1960 as opposed to 1968.
01:41:51.540 Uh, but he can have a fancy wood paneling in his recreation room, but I've got the best
01:41:56.500 chair.
01:41:57.400 80% of Americans have been working from home at least one day a week for a long time.
01:42:02.440 And that number is skyrocketing.
01:42:03.940 Now you need an X chair.
01:42:06.640 It's a patented dynamic variable lumbar or DVL support system.
01:42:10.660 Best chair made.
01:42:12.200 Check out the DVL difference for yourself.

01:42:36.140 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:42:48.720 It's Thursday.
01:42:50.280 We're glad you're here.
01:42:52.000 Unemployment numbers record, record setting today.
01:42:55.920 By far, worst numbers ever.
01:43:00.460 Before that, the next closest, I think, was like 370, or I'm sorry, 675, or somewhere in that area, of new people filing for unemployment.
01:43:11.980 That was in 1981 or 82, and we broke that record today.
01:43:18.620 Today, 3,280,000 people went to file for unemployment just last week.
01:43:28.220 That's week one.
01:43:29.780 I thought an interesting point some economist was making was, instead of looking at this like it's a recession, which sort of everyone's talking about it as bad or a depression, you should look at it more as if it's a nationwide hurricane.
01:43:44.300 So basically, like Katrina hits the entire country, because if you could kind of project what happened after these major natural disasters to these cities, it's basically the same effect across the entire country.
01:43:56.560 It's actually less than that effect so far.
01:43:59.300 So the idea is, if you can get past this thing, maybe you do come back afterwards without having to totally collapse your way of life, which would be nice.
01:44:09.000 I kind of prefer.
01:44:10.400 It would be nice.
01:44:11.100 Yeah.
01:44:11.660 I think, depending on how long it stays, I mean, if we're out for another eight weeks, I don't know that you can take that kind of a pummeling for eight weeks.
01:44:23.460 You know, if we come back by Easter in the world and most of the country, not all of it, but most of the country goes back to work, I think we'll be OK.
01:44:32.380 If we get some good news on anything coronavirus related, I think once we do come back, we come back with a vengeance.
01:44:42.580 We come back with real force because we're all going to be well rested, ready to go back to work.
01:44:48.460 We talked about this a little bit yesterday, I think, Glenn, where there's this idea where we all have to come up with the exact right thing that's happening with this virus.
01:44:56.500 It's going to be really terrible.
01:44:57.540 It's absolutely nothing.
01:44:58.500 It's overblown.
01:44:59.380 It's it's undersold.
01:45:00.660 All the things everyone is so sure of everything, every pundit is so sure of everything that's going to happen next.
01:45:07.460 But the bottom line, if you want to step back from this, this thing is going to answer itself.
01:45:13.580 If we have 75,000 dead in a week and a half in New York City, everyone's going to be begging to stay home in their house to make sure another outbreak like that doesn't happen.
01:45:24.780 If if what we're seeing so far doesn't escalate and that we don't have an Italy type of situation, they're all saying the peak of this is going to be within the next two to three weeks.
01:45:35.940 So if they're wrong on that and it's not really horrible in two to three weeks, the American people are not going to stay put forever.
01:45:44.760 You're going to have to have a really clear plan and and and allow it to play out, because honestly, like if this is as bad as some of these models said,
01:45:54.160 and we've talked about how some people are backing off of those worst projections now, which is a real positive and hopefully true.
01:46:00.080 But if that's happening and we don't and we see this really bad, scary thing go on, we're all going to be like they're not going to have to ask us to not go to work.
01:46:09.080 Yeah.
01:46:09.220 So could I could I suggest something scary and then give you something to do about it?
01:46:20.820 And I hope we don't get here, but I'm just looking at global trends and there is a disturbing trend that is happening that people are not talking about.
01:46:32.040 So, first of all, if you look around the world, countries are beginning to adopt measures to secure their own food supplies among the fears of shortages.
01:46:43.080 So far, it's countries like Kazakhstan.
01:46:46.420 They are not importing or I'm sorry, exporting any food.
01:46:51.100 Kyrgyzstan stopped exporting food entirely.
01:46:53.720 In Russia, grain exports have been put on a 10 day hold until next week when they'll reevaluate.
01:47:00.840 Vietnam has refused to sign any new rice export conduct contracts.
01:47:06.680 Serbia has placed restrictions on the export of selected foods there in Europe.
01:47:12.360 It's the agricultural sector that is in real trouble.
01:47:16.160 The agricultural sector is is really getting hit hard, and that is mainly due to the labor shortages.
01:47:25.620 France has just called on citizens who have been laid off due to the coronavirus to consider working in the agricultural industry.
01:47:33.460 They're calling it agricultural patriotism.
01:47:35.880 They're saying go out and plant the fields and help them bring up the fields.
01:47:40.160 If you are unemployed, this is something that Americans would have done in the Great Depression.
01:47:45.560 There would be no need for anybody to have to worry about, you know, labor shortages.
01:47:52.060 But how many Americans are willing to do that today and just go move across the country just for a migrant salary and, you know, plant crops?
01:48:03.860 How many of us have the skill to be able to do that?
01:48:06.940 Germany has extended their work permits from 70 to 115 days, exempted all farm workers from paying Social Security contributions because they need 300,000 farm workers there.
01:48:22.000 You know how many farm workers we need here?
01:48:24.500 On top of all of this, you have Amazon with 10 warehouses now with infections.
01:48:31.920 Trader Joe's is closing its stores all across New York due to their infected employees.
01:48:37.620 Frito-Lay closed a factory in California after its employees tested positive.
01:48:44.280 And let's not forget, all across the Middle East, all of the crops were eaten by locusts.
01:48:51.400 Here's what I would like to suggest you do.
01:48:54.580 I would like you to plant what used to be called a victory garden.
01:48:58.980 I think it's very, very wise to right now get online or go to your seed store and buy some seeds, some heirloom seeds, if you can, and plant a garden.
01:49:15.240 You don't want to be I don't think we're going to have mass shortages of food, but it sure would take the it sure would take the worry out of our lives if we all started to plant gardens.
01:49:27.220 If you have space to do it, I highly recommend you do it right now.
01:49:32.700 We may not be getting some of the imported food that we normally get, especially if this hits Mexico the way it should hit Mexico.
01:49:45.120 And California could be down our farmers.
01:49:48.320 We're now entering the planting season.
01:49:51.700 And if crops don't get planted.
01:49:55.460 What do we have?
01:49:57.220 It's one more thing on this.
01:50:00.700 We all have to realize that we are in a different world and hopefully this world is not going to last very long, but we don't know.
01:50:09.860 And right now we have neighbors who are really, really frightened and struggling.
01:50:15.940 If you haven't checked on an elderly neighbor, if you haven't checked on your neighbors yet, please do.
01:50:24.340 If you're going to the store, it might be good for the neighbors to get together and say, you know, give me a list.
01:50:30.740 One of us will go out to the store.
01:50:32.120 But I want you to start thinking about the things that you can do to help.
01:50:38.320 If you are blessed with any kind of money.
01:50:42.420 Those who have been given much, much is required.
01:50:50.040 I've always been interested in that word required.
01:50:52.660 Mercury One is my charity, and we're trying to raise money.
01:50:59.580 We wanted to raise $50,000 today, but I'd like to double that to $100,000.
01:51:06.200 They started with a $25,000 donation for Team Rubicon.
01:51:11.740 They're one of our partners, but all of our partners need help for the soup kitchens and the people who are delivering food to elderly and keeping the wheels on at our local level.
01:51:25.500 These are churches that get money from us.
01:51:28.500 We have a real shortage of cash because it's going to go out the door quickly.
01:51:33.280 So they donated $25,000.
01:51:36.440 Tanya and I, this morning, we donated another $25,000.
01:51:39.980 So we met our $50,000 goal.
01:51:42.160 Now, can you match that?
01:51:44.420 Can we raise another $50,000 today from this audience?
01:51:48.860 Even if you have $5, I would ask that you start giving.
01:51:54.260 And if it's not us, go find someplace to give and get involved.
01:52:00.580 Because we are going to need each other desperately.
01:52:05.520 And we want to stop waiting for the government and start taking care of some things ourselves.
01:52:12.080 If you can join just our prayer roles, reach out to mercuryone.org and offer your prayers.
01:52:20.440 Because we are, you can actually go on our social media for that, I think.
01:52:24.800 We've got prayer rooms all across the country.
01:52:27.880 People praying in groups and people hands on the ground helping as well.
01:52:33.080 So we can take any kind of help.
01:52:36.820 If you want to roll up your sleeves, great.
01:52:39.220 If you can just pull out your wallet, that is probably going to be something that is needed more than anything else at this time.
01:52:46.140 Mercuryone.org, 100% of what you give goes directly to whatever it is you're choosing.
01:52:55.780 So if you're choosing to help out the people right now who are suffering from COVID-19 and they need groceries or whatever it is, 100% will go to that.
01:53:07.780 We pay for the staff and overhead in other ways.
01:53:12.040 This is the best bang for your buck.
01:53:14.580 Check us out please now and let's see if we can meet that goal of 50,000 today at mercuryone.org, mercuryone.org slash donate.
01:53:24.820 Do it now if you can.
01:53:26.300 So when cyber protections away, the criminals will play.
01:53:39.540 And as you're holed up in your bunker, otherwise known as your home, during these perilous days, cyber criminals will play.
01:53:46.560 First of all, if you're doing business at home, you know that you need some sort of encryption, right?
01:53:53.160 You should be having encryption.
01:53:54.980 They're also saying get rid of all of your devices.
01:53:57.620 If you're doing business at home, you shouldn't have, you know, Alexa or anybody else that's not really real sitting in the same room with you because this is a prime time for cyber criminals.
01:54:12.820 Uh, right now you're also going to see fake products, phony stock deals, fabricated emails, text, social media posts.
01:54:20.860 You have to be very, very, very careful.
01:54:24.100 Cyber criminals are shrewd and you're going to miss some of the stuff that you shouldn't miss, but you will because there's just too much out there.
01:54:31.920 No one can prevent all identity theft, but I'm telling you.
01:54:35.460 LifeLock has been in this business.
01:54:38.740 They were the first in, I believe.
01:54:40.380 And I remember thinking, no, who's going to steal your social security number now because they've been in the business for so long.
01:54:46.580 They are the leader.
01:54:48.200 They're going to see the things that you might miss on your own.

01:55:23.280 Well, hello there, little children.
01:55:25.980 We're glad you're here.
01:55:27.040 It's the Joe Biden radio program.
01:55:29.640 Joe Biden did yet another disastrous conference talk yesterday online.
01:55:37.340 Every single, has there been one that has been good so far this week?
01:55:41.080 Oh, gosh, no, no.
01:55:42.220 And then he didn't even do one of them.
01:55:43.820 He just kind of just, I think he slept through it or something.
01:55:47.580 So here's the latest.
01:55:49.300 This is from last night's teleconference there on the high-speed information superhighway.
01:55:57.080 Joe Biden.
01:55:58.840 None of us want to be cooped up in our homes just as the weather is turning nice, just as spring break travel plans were approaching, just as the campaign for the presidency is kicking into high gear.
01:56:12.320 It's unfair to all of us, and it's unnecessary for all of us, but it's necessary in fact.
01:56:19.960 It's necessary for all of us to have to deal with it.
01:56:22.740 You know, we have to stay home because we can transmit live viruses to other people before
01:56:29.720 we feel the signs of sickness ourselves.
01:56:33.180 I don't understand.
01:56:34.360 He just said it wasn't necessary, but it's necessary.
01:56:38.520 That's a necessary unnecessarily necessity.
01:56:42.540 I feel like when I'm watching him, I'm watching like a piece of technology.
01:56:46.260 Like he's like a hologram or something.
01:56:48.560 He doesn't look real anymore.
01:56:49.940 Did he have another?
01:56:53.360 Because, you know, he's had several plastic surgeries.
01:56:56.740 He had an eye lift and everything else.
01:56:59.680 I think he's had another one here in maybe in the last year.
01:57:04.040 Really?
01:57:05.060 Yeah, because he does look different than he used to.
01:57:09.300 And I don't know.
01:57:11.500 Maybe he's lost a lot of weight.
01:57:13.020 I don't know what has happened to him, but he does look different.
01:57:16.700 He still looks better than Madonna in the bathtub, though.
01:57:19.660 Oh, my gosh.
01:57:20.540 Did she?
01:57:21.180 Oof.
01:57:22.180 Wow.
01:57:22.660 What was that?
01:57:24.300 I don't know.
01:57:25.100 It's quite, quite ugly.
01:57:26.580 Quite ugly.
01:57:27.860 And I don't mean like in the sense of her is ugly on the inside.
01:57:33.240 I mean it on the outside.
01:57:34.200 And when you say ugly, you don't mean like, you know, Trudy from Saved by the Bell.
01:57:45.740 You mean hideously, monstrously ugly, right?
01:57:49.600 Trudy from Saved by the Bell?
01:57:51.560 I don't even know what I'm even talking about.
01:57:53.880 I don't even, I don't have any idea.
01:57:56.080 Are you saying, isn't there Trudy on Facts of Life?
01:57:58.520 Is that what you're?
01:57:59.300 Is it Facts of Life?
01:58:00.220 Yeah, I think it was.
01:58:01.200 Facts of Life.
01:58:02.020 Yeah, because that was with, what's her name?
01:58:03.280 What was the, what was the lady's name that was the, like the house mom?
01:58:08.180 I don't even know what that's, it was the house mom.
01:58:10.060 What the hell was that?
01:58:11.160 I don't even know that story.
01:58:12.360 I think that was Facts of Life.
01:58:12.840 I'm pretty sure this is all Facts of Life you're talking about.
01:58:15.120 They're not even the same era, those two shows.
01:58:18.080 I don't even know.
01:58:19.260 I don't know.
01:58:20.340 I don't know.
01:58:23.300 Hey, look, I would say that there's a very strange thing going on with the celebrities
01:58:29.560 inside their little quarantine things because they still feel like they need to
01:58:33.260 do things and you don't.
01:58:34.460 You don't need to be on camera maybe for a couple of weeks.
01:58:36.420 Maybe it's a good idea for you to take a little break.
01:58:38.720 I think Madonna is desperate.
01:58:40.480 I think, can we play this Madonna thing?
01:58:42.120 Here she is in the bathtub.
01:58:43.480 Why would we?
01:58:43.820 No, you don't have to look at it.
01:58:44.860 No, it's radio.
01:58:45.820 That's the thing about COVID-19.
01:58:46.080 It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are.
01:58:52.660 She's got rose petals in the water.
01:58:57.180 It's so bizarre.
01:58:59.680 And listen to the music.
01:59:01.480 I mean, was the music added in by somebody on her staff that went, I got to make this
01:59:06.480 even creepier?
01:59:07.620 Because it's the music.
01:59:08.620 At first when I was watching it, I'm like, am I imagining the music that's going on now?
01:59:12.760 Because it's exactly how I feel the music should be.
01:59:16.180 Yes, it is.
01:59:17.860 It is.
01:59:19.120 It is.
01:59:19.880 It's like one of those creepy haunted house things.
01:59:23.400 You're like, oh, wow.
01:59:25.160 That was weird.
01:59:26.220 There was that old lady in the bathtub.
01:59:28.260 Remember that?
01:59:29.100 It's almost like The Shining.
01:59:31.760 Almost.
01:59:32.900 Yeah, wasn't there a movie called The Girl in the Water or something like that?
01:59:36.680 No, you're thinking of Saved by the Bell.
01:59:38.820 Oh, yeah.
01:59:39.400 Saved by the Bell.
01:59:40.360 Saved by the Bell with Leatherface.
01:59:42.640 Leatherface.
01:59:43.040 With what?
01:59:44.220 Leatherface.
