Americans Say NO to Tyranny | Guest: Michael Malice | 4/20/20

Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.

In the car,

gym,

even sleeping.

So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.

She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them.

Sort of.

You were made to scream from the front row.

We were made to quietly save you more.

Expedia, made to travel.

Savings vary and subject to availability, flight inclusive packages are at all protected.

This is the Glimbeck program.

Okay, let me tell you quickly about our spotlight sponsor.

It's Rough Greens.

Are you feeding your dog Rough Greens, Stu?

Oh, Cat is.

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

Miles in particular comes out with his gray beard colored green

because he digs right in.

Does he love it?

Oh, yeah.

Loves it.

Loves it.

Loves it.

Loves it.

Yeah.

I don't know what it is, but it's like crack for dogs, except it's healthy crack.

You make sense of that.

It's not a dog food, it's an additive, and it gives them everything they need.

And there is a huge difference.

My dog is so athletic now.

He is just up and at them all the time.

He's not lethargic.

He's gained weight, but he's not getting fat.

He's gaining muscle.

It's all because of Rough Greens.

Hello, America.

It's Monday.

And let me just say this.

It's not going to come as a surprise,

but not for the reasons you think.

The media has it all wrong, and we know that.

But

this time,

it's not necessarily 100% intentional.

It's probably about 98% intentional.

But I think the record needs to be corrected.

I think many people misunderstand what's happening with these protests.

These protests

are not about opening up business.

I'll give you my point of view on this in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Jeez, can you believe it?

Mother's Day is here.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit here about

the difference between tyranny and going to the movie theater.

And I think I do have to talk down to the media just a bit so they understand this.

Let me give you a couple of stories here.

Anti-lockdown organizers in New Jersey, Kim Pagan.

She's from Toms River, New Jersey.

She was the organizer behind the anti-lockdown protest in New Jersey, in the statehouse in Trenton.

This happened on Friday.

Approximately two dozen cars lined up outside of the statehouse.

Some vehicles had signs in them demanding that the state reopen.

New Jersey state troopers did not stop the demonstration, but she was charged with violating the Garden State's stay-at-home order.

Okay, so what exactly happened here?

Are they protesting that you can't open my favorite restaurant or I can't go to a movie?

Or is it perhaps that they don't believe that you should be ticketing people who are in their cars?

Then to make things worse, the New Jersey Attorney General on Friday tweeted, if you think emergency orders are more like guidelines than actual rules, think again.

Whoa,

excuse me?

Who works for whom?

Now, in California,

this is a big thing because the county that this happened in went for Clinton by a large margin.

The

protesters in San Diego County held up signs and lined the streets

as people passed by.

They spotted signs saying, Open California now.

All business is essential.

Liberate San Diego.

Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.

Protesters were out in force.

Now, was it because they want to go see their favorite movie?

Or is it because

San Clemente has just shut down all of their parks and their facilities under the state home stay-at-home order on April 1st.

But to make sure no skaters went there, they went to the skate park and they dumped 37 tons of sand in the skate park.

Friday, the mayor of Los Angeles said he was thinking about banning large events and gatherings in the city until 2021.

last month the left-wing mayor threatened that selfish small business owners who don't adhere to his coronavirus mandate and shut down their non-essential businesses could be criminally charged and have their water and power turned off so is this about going to the movies is this about going out to my favorite restaurant or is this about tyranny

it is clearly about tyranny now the press wants to make everybody who says we need to open up America, they make us sound like we are some sort of,

I don't know, death cult.

I think I've actually read that, that you're part of a death cult if you believe that.

No,

I do believe that more than 40,000 people now will die.

Because we've destroyed the economy.

That will end up killing more people than the coronavirus did.

Now, I am glad that we shut down because I think the coronavirus would have killed a lot more than 40 million, 40,000 people.

However, as soon as we can, we need to open it up.

Now, that doesn't necessarily mean today I'm not a doctor.

But doctors aren't

economic theorists either.

We need both.

We need the stats on the economy and we need stats on

health.

And when we see that tide switch, where you're like, okay, it looks like you might be able to open it up, then it should be opened up and it shouldn't be waiting for the national government to do it.

This all should be done locally.

This is all constitutional.

And they think it's just because we're greedy or we don't care.

That's the new spin from the media now.

And I will tell you, I think this movement,

coupled with the movement that is still to come from Antifa and the Bernie Bros and everybody else, who are going to capitalize on 20% unemployment, They are going to capitalize on it.

As we get closer and closer to this election, we are going to see our cities in real trouble.

Real trouble.

And some of it will be orchestrated.

But if these governors and these mayors don't stop putting their foot on the throat of the American people, why is it that people are stupid?

Why is it?

Why is it that people are irresponsible and don't take responsibility for themselves?

Because they don't think they have to,

because they never pay any consequence for breaking any rules.

And you're always there to save them.

I learned this by standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon, people will fall over the edge on the American side of the Grand Canyon a couple of times a year, I think.

On the Native American side of the Grand Canyon, which is its own country,

nobody dies.

Nobody falls off the edge.

How come?

Well, if you've ever gone to the Native American side and you've compared the two, it's completely different.

There's not a guardrail or a fence around the canyon.

It's just the canyon.

Rocks and all.

Little slippery slopes and all of a sudden you're at the edge.

I asked the Native American tour guide, how many people fall off this?

And he said, nobody falls off of it.

And I said, why?

And he said, because in America, you keep putting walls up and everybody thinks, oh, well, they wouldn't put a wall up that I could climb over if it was not safe.

Well, they wouldn't put a wall here where I could sit on top of the wall and take some pictures if it wasn't safe.

He said, here everybody knows it's not safe.

People are morons because we teach them to be morons.

This movement is not about letting people die.

This is not about a death cult.

This is about stop telling us exactly what to do.

I'll stay at home, but you give me a ticket for being in my car?

Yeah, I'm going to protest.

I'm going to protest.

I'll drive my car every day, and I'll take your ass to court when this is all over.

No.

No to tyranny.

Yes to safety and lives.

Elijah Schaefer was up for the blaze in Seattle of all places with one of the protests.

Elijah, how are you?

Good Glenn, I'm doing great.

Thanks for calling.

Yeah, so the protest in Seattle, not the place I would expect it.

Was it a Liberty protest or was it like an

Antifa protest?

What happened there?

That's a good question.

It was a little bit north.

It took place just a little bit north, about 45 minutes north of Seattle.

And what I thought would have been a bipartisan protest against tyranny, because I thought Antifa was an anarchist, and I thought that they were so much against the control of the government, and they thought Trump was a fascist.

It turned out it was mostly just right-wingers who wanted to go back to work telling the governor that they wanted their rights back.

So, Elijah, I just spent a few minutes saying that this is not about

this is not about I want to go see my favorite movie or eat at my favorite restaurant.

This is about

tyranny to stop telling us exactly what we can and cannot do.

Is that accurate in your view?

100%.

The people I talked to, two good examples.

The first woman I spoke to was a single mother.

She hasn't received a paycheck since March 16th.

She's been denied for unemployment because she's self-employed.

She told me and looked right into my face and said, I do not know how to feed my children.

I do not know how to pay rent.

She said, I am not lazy.

I have never not worked.

And now I'm unable to feed my kids.

Why?

Because somebody told me I'm not allowed to.

And another man said, I don't have a job.

I don't have food.

He said, I know how to fish.

And I can't even legally go out and fish.

In Washington, it's illegal to fish.

He goes, I can't even catch my own food, let alone afford it, because the government told me

that's no longer my right to feed myself.

He can't fish in Washington State?

Correct.

What the hell is...

And that's part of the shutdown?

Is you can't fish?

Yeah, and actually people brought their fishing poles and did,

I guess you could say symbolic casts into the fountain in front of the state Capitol building.

But many people

had fishing poles that said, my fishing pole is an essential business because feeding myself is essential.

That's unbelievable.

What was the response from the state?

You know, the response from the state and the media was exactly what you would think.

There were only Republican candidates running and some congressional senators that were there.

There was silence from the governor and lead it up to PBS and the media to lie and say a couple hundred people showed up when in actuality estimates from enterprise reporting was about 4,500.

So the event was smeared from the beginning.

4,500?

4,500 people?

Yes.

It was beyond understanding.

And when I saw that, what I think is hilarious, and you'll check this out, when I went to look at Getty Images to see what images they reported, out of 4,500 people, there was one man who had combined a don't tread on me flag and a Confederate flag.

One guy out of 4,500.

That's 0.02% of the people.

Only one I saw of all the people.

There was one.

And guess what image, when you type in the protest is there?

That one.

One man

who wasn't even at the main protest.

He was on the street outside.

And the media, and the best part is the angle is from the floor facing up, which blocks out everybody.

So of 4,500 people who, regardless of political opinion, said, let me go back to work.

I want to work.

I'm an American.

Damn it.

I want my job back.

They chose this one guy with a flag that pushed the narrative that they wanted to push and refused to report on the truth.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

They do that.

We had that in tea party after tea party after tea party.

They would go find the one person dressed as the statue of liberty,

and they would take a picture of that person to avoid the crowd.

I mean, it's nuts.

Elijah, thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

And thanks for going out.

Were you wearing a mask?

I wasn't wearing a mask.

I was wearing the

TV logo.

But thank God, thank God,

of the five images that the AP took, they did take a picture of me and made sure that they knew that right-wing news correspondent Elijah Schaefer was there.

But hey, at least we were there to tell the other side of the story.

Wow.

Thank you very much.

Is your report up on the Blaze now?

No, the report, the full report will be up on the Blaze tomorrow, the full video, but the actual video report will be up on the Blaze later today.

Okay, great.

Thank you so much, Elijah.

I appreciate it.

Blaze TV.

So we had 500 people in San Clemente, 200 people for the Freedom Rally in San Diego.

By the way, this is from the mainstream media.

More than 200 Californians gathered in Huntington Beach.

Hundreds of people gathered downtown in Denver, Colorado.

Demonstration in Frankfurt,

Kentucky, had protesters, doesn't say how many.

Saturday, hundreds of protesters rallied in Annapolis

to open Maryland.

Operation Gridlock in Lansing, Michigan, a couple of thousand demonstrators there.

She is out of control.

We have an update on that, by the way, the governor there.

In Minnesota, several hundred protesters were there.

New Hampshire, a few hundred people.

New Jersey.

They had, it says, 24 people.

North Carolina had a big rally.

One woman was detained.

Columbus, demonstrators were outside of the state house there.

It is something that the press does not understand.

You don't tell people not to fish.

You don't tell people that they're going to be fined if they leave their house.

It's...

It's just not America.

That's not what we do.

That doesn't mean we want to go out and tongue kiss each other for the love of Pete.

All right, our sponsor this half hour is Relief Factor.

If you are in pain, may I suggest Relief Factor?

I was in pain for a long, long time and could not take it anymore.

I mean, I know what it feels like to be in real pain.

If you are in just agonizing pain and you just, you just can't do it anymore.

I get it.

When you get up in the morning, you're like, another day.

After a bad night's sleep, I get it so do the people at Relief Factor Relief Factor has come up with a compound that I doctors have designed and it it works most of our pain comes from inflammation so relief factor goes in and targets that inflammation and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month it's relief factor try it if it does not work in for you in three weeks it's probably not going to work um but it does work for 70 of the people who try it.

So please just try it, will you?

We have a real problem with oil, and this I never thought that we would say,

but $11 a barrel is a problem.

We are going to put another 5 million people

out of work if the American oil industry collapses, and it's about to.

$11 a barrel.

This is another reason to get people,

they should be telling people, go for a drive.

Go for a drive.

Get in your car and go for a drive.

Just to start using some of this oil.

This is a national emergency

when it comes to the oil price.

We are finally energy independent, and this could collapse and break the back of the American oil industry.

$11 a barrel.

Remember,

it broke the back of the United States when it was $150 a barrel, actually $140 a barrel sustained.

That's what caused the mortgage collapse.

That was the last straw was oil prices.

Saudi Arabia and Russia,

their whole system is built on the price of oil being about $80 a barrel.

That's how they make most of their money.

Russia and Saudi Arabia are also on the verge of collapse.

And when somebody is cornered and feels desperate,

that's when they do something.

And they usually do something stupid.

And we are also on the verge of collapse because of oil.

$11 a barrel, as I told you last week.

Right now, gasoline, wholesale, gasoline is the cheapest it's ever been in the history of gasoline.

It is now,

what did I say, 12 cents a gallon wholesale.

And

they can't get it to anybody.

It's sitting in pipelines.

No one's buying it at 12 cents a gallon.

Why?

Because they have all the stuff they paid a dollar a gallon for sitting in the tank at the gas station.

So nobody's buying that.

Go for a drive.

Fill up your tank.

This is a real problem for America.

More in just a second.

You're listening.

Can't hear you.

Can't hear you still.

What'd you say?

It's time for your commercial here.

All right, let me, yeah, let me tell you, let me tell you a little bit about

our sponsor this half hour.

There's a great special coming up this week about the real real reason and the background of why we're reacting how we're reacting.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're so glad that you've tuned in.

Pat Gray is joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast that you can get wherever you hear podcasts, or you can hear him do it live right before this program on the Blaze Radio Network.

Hello, Mr.

Pat Gray.

Hello, Glenn.

Very excited to

be here.

Are you?

I am am really excited about the freedoms we're losing.

It's really interesting to watch and fun.

Oh, what freedoms have we lost?

You people.

What freedoms have we lost?

Almost nothing.

Well, okay, we can't go anywhere and we can't do anything.

And we're asked to narconors, which I think is wonderful.

And

that's Bill de Blasio.

He's

what are you going to say?

He's a Marxist, fascist, communist?

Oh, yeah.

Uh-huh.

I am going to say that.

All right.

Okay.

I am going to say that.

Here's Bill de Blasio over the weekend to New Yorkers.

Now it is easier than ever when you see a crowd, when you see a line that's not distanced, when you see a supermarket that's too crowded, anything, you can report it right away so we can get help there to fix the problem.

And now it's as simple as taking a photo.

All you got to do is take the photo and put the location with it, and bang, send a photo like this, and we will make sure that enforcement comes right away.

Wow, we've made your SS activity so easy now.

So great.

We will have your neighbor strapped to a chair within 25 minutes.

I mean, holy cow.

Thank you.

That is great.

You know, I was just saying,

Pat, and I'd love to hear your opinion on this.

This movement that is starting to happen around the country,

the Washington Post said, it's a no-tea party movement.

Well, if that one was about the Constitution, then yes, that's what this one's about too.

I don't believe this is a movement that I want to go and

go to my favorite store and get my favorite ice cream.

This is about these

cities and these states that are becoming Nazi-like, where I can't even get into my car and go for a drive.

Excuse me.

Yeah, it's not America.

And it's kind of heartening to see

all of the pushback now.

And I know at the other side of this, the Democrats are all saying, you guys just want to, you just, you're capitalists who just want capital.

Well,

I mean, even if that were true, we should be able to be capitalists who are bringing home capital because

our kids are going to be starving pretty soon.

I mean, we are so blessed and fortunate to have a job.

I don't know why, but it's considered essential.

And so we still have jobs, but there are 22 million people who in three to four weeks all lost their jobs and have no way of paying their bills.

No, and can't in Michigan,

you can't even get to the unemployment office.

You can't call the unemployment office.

People have been calling for two weeks and can't file for unemployment.

That's madness.

What do you expect people to do?

As we were just talking to Elijah Schaefer a few minutes ago, he was up at the protest in Washington State.

He said 4,500 people were there.

If that's true, that's an outrageous number of people in

Washington State.

But one of the things they can't do there in Washington State is go fishing.

Excuse me?

My grandfather, my uncle, used to go right to the side of the river,

right down the end of their street, and they would fish.

And we would fish and we would have fish for dinner.

You can't do that now?

I mean, that's part of the lifestyle of Washington state.

At least it used to be.

And you're telling me now, if I don't have a job and I can't go get fish,

that seems unconstitutional, entirely unconstitutional.

That's one of the many instances where it says to me it's just a power grab by the government because there's no reason to not allow single fishermen or two fishermen who are six feet apart from each other to go out and get fish.

There's no reason to arrest people who are paddleboarding by themselves in an ocean.

There's no reason for any of this.

This is just power-hungry officials clamping down on a populace.

It's despicable.

So I

got a call from somebody.

He's an analyst,

looks at global trends and everything else.

And we were talking, and he said,

I think our major cities are going to,

there's a possibility that they become unstable during this in the next, you know, six months or so.

And he said, I wanted to talk to you because I want to understand this movement that's happening.

Do you think it's a big deal?

And I said, I think it's a huge deal.

And I think it's just beginning.

You know, when you see in the news today that

Shake Shack

got a lot of the small business money.

Okay, well, most people don't even know what Shake Shack is, but if you live,

is it Shake Shack?

Yeah, it is.

It is.

Yes, Shake Shack.

Yeah, and

they got some of the money.

Well, I don't know if those are franchise

restaurants or if that's a corporate thing.

But no restaurant has 500.

McDonald's doesn't have 500 employees.

You would say, no, they have millions of employees.

No, but you count them locally.

So if the franchise needs help, they can go out and get it.

And I don't have a problem.

It's a franchise.

But if it's the company,

like,

are they, do you know, Stu, is that a franchise?

They're giving the money back, by the way, if they're returning the 10 million.

That's why they're kind of in the news here.

But it's definitely not what people thought of when they thought of a small business loan that's going out.

They think about local places and maybe small regional chains or something like that.

60% of those businesses that got small business bailouts are traded on the open market.

That's not a small business.

No.

I'm sorry, but if you have stock, you're not a small business.

And what we're seeing most commonly is the

companies that are getting these loans are the companies that already had relationships with banks.

So all these companies that

are already dealing at high levels with banks are the ones getting access to the program.

While the company who might run and be profitable and not need loans from banks this entire time, those are the ones that can't get any access to the capital because they haven't been dealing with a banker over and over again.

Bizarre.

So, I think you're going to see a huge, huge movement that comes from those small business owners and the people that live in, you know,

in the red states that

understand the tyranny and also understand, wait a minute, I didn't get a bailout.

Then you're going to get the

then you're going to get the other side.

You're going to get the Elon Omar kind of people and the movements out of New York City where the city did not pay my rent for six months.

And you're going to get that pressure.

Those two movements are going to be very, very similar, but very different at the heart.

But that's what's coming our way.

And when that happens,

you have civil unrest.

You're going to have the red states being the media target.

The blue states being the ones who are sympathetic, the press is going to be sympathetic towards.

And it'll be the blue state movements like Antifa that will be dangerous.

And that will only make things 100 times worse.

A hundred times worse.

worse.

It'll be interesting to see how people respond to what happens in Texas this week because we're very slowly opening things up again.

Governor Abbott announced that retail, small retailers can open up, but only through, I think, curbside

or home delivery.

Yeah.

So you can still...

Yeah.

I mean, they're already open, most of them.

At least in the DFW area in the Metroplex, you can already go and get food and bring it home, or they can deliver it.

Yeah.

And so they're going to to open that up to retail, right?

Like, so you can theoretically go buy clothing that way, which

is kind of a weird way to buy clothing.

Yes.

I don't know how that's going to work.

Or like a furniture store, you're going to bring me my couch at the curbside.

Just put it on top of the car, like where the flintstones.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm not sure it works that way with the couch.

I don't think it does.

Maybe it does.

And then next week we do the next step, right?

Yeah.

Well, they haven't announced that yet.

I think April 27th, they're making more announcements, which would

allow some restaurants to open with certain circumstances.

I don't think bars yet.

For sit-down?

Yeah, I think for sit-down, but like much more spaced-out, limited access.

And again, how is that going to happen?

How's that going to help them?

You run on slim margins.

Nobody's making 30% margin.

You generally have a 5% margin, 7% margin.

If you do, that means means at a packed capacity, you are probably making money after all the bills are paid for the last couple of days of the month.

Well, if I have to cut my clientele in half,

how do I keep my business open?

Right.

I mean, some of the costs would come down too, right?

But a lot of them are fixed.

So those wouldn't, you know, your rent isn't changing because you have less people in your restaurant.

And, you know, I guess like you could argue that maybe it would allow the loans coming from the government to go further, right?

So there's some argument there that could be helpful.

But you're right.

I mean, these are not profitable businesses when you're letting 10 people in a restaurant meant for 50 or 60.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: And will 10 people actually show up and sit down at a restaurant right now?

I think a lot of people are going to be leery initially.

That's what all the polling shows.

The polling shows that still at this point, even Republicans are split on whether the danger is doing too much too quickly to open up the economy or the opposite.

Right.

And among overall people, it's overwhelmingly in favor of the fear being opening things up too quickly.

Well, I think even if you open things up, I mean, I just had a meeting with the researchers and I asked them, and it was

split probably in half.

For me, if you open up restaurants today, I'm not going into a restaurant.

I'll go get my food, but I'm not going to go sit down in a restaurant.

I'm not going to a crowded movie theater.

Are you guys?

No.

No, I mean,

you know, if there's a restaurant with 10 people in it, you know, I might again, but again, like, what does that do really for the restaurant?

Very little, I think.

You know, if there is, it would be great.

Like, it's funny because one of the things they say is it's really far away from coming back is fans at sporting events, which, again, I understand if a packed stadium would be a really bad idea.

However, an outside environment with a limited crowd capacity probably is one of the more safe environments if you were to take that in person.

That's what I don't understand.

When they're saying about the beaches, these beaches were not jam-packed, at least the pictures I saw.

You know, you might have had four people or six people.

Well, I've got six people that are crowded around my kitchen table every day.

You know, if we went as a family and we went out to the beach, I mean, I wouldn't be doing it, but if you went out to the beach and you're open air and you're six feet away from the next group of people, what's the problem with that?

And it looked like that was the case.

Yeah, it looked like that.

It did.

Yeah.

I think it was the case.

They did the same thing in the coverage of that as they did with the protests, where they found the one guy who had the crazy sign.

Like, you know, you look at the overall pictures of the Florida beaches and they were pretty restrained.

People were generally speaking away from each other.

There were, of course, some groupings that didn't look good, and that's what made all the, you know, all the social media rounds.

But that's just to be expected.

I mean, generally speaking, I think people have,

I've been been surprised at how well people have done with these restrictions, honestly.

I'm shocked.

They've made the most independent state in the nation is Texas, and we are the most compliant, according to the research.

Wow.

To me, that says everything.

That says everything because we are not people that like to just sit around and be told exactly what to do.

Boy, I tell you, the situation in Detroit is really, really bad.

Much worse than it is in New York City.

The numbers are going to be different because of population size, but

the victims of COVID in Detroit are really, really stark and bad.

Last week, we had the state Michigan Representative Karen Whitsett on, and she just begged for help for the people of Detroit who are, you know, as she said, they don't even have stoves.

Well, she asked for help, and boy, this audience has been over backwards.

Let me give you an update.

By tomorrow,

we'll have 388,680 meals on the ground for hungry people in Detroit.

On our way to half a million people having a meal in Detroit because of this audience, and we can't thank you enough.

There are several things going on, however.

We are providing food.

We're trying to help with shelter and PPEs all over the country.

But we're also really

paying attention to domestic abuse victims.

There has been a real rise in domestic violence, according to police, all over the country.

And

they can't take everybody.

42% of the requests for emergency shelters

are turned down because there's just no space for people because of the COVID virus.

They have to change things.

Significant numbers of domestic violence and it's on the rise and we are doing everything we can to help.

If you would like to help, even if it's just prayers, please go to mercury1.org, mercury1.org.

We have a prayer team, so if that's all you can do, that's more than enough.

If you can donate five bucks or whatever you can to help heal our nation, 100% of the donations go to wherever you direct it.

Where do we all turn when things fall apart?

Well, if you're like me, you lean on things that stand the test of time, your closest friends, your family, or a cherished movie that re-inspires.

The classics are made to last, and that's why we turn to them in good times and bad.

I have one of those beloved things in my life.

It's my Tacovis cowboy boots.

At Takovis, they don't see themselves as just makers of quality boots and Western goods.

They believe that a good pair of boots can change the way people feel about themselves.

Now, why is that?

Why is it that something that you put on your feet can change the way you feel inside?

Because the boots are a manifestation of things that last, boots that can weather the storm and walk confidently to the other side.

Cowboy boots are, and have always been for the frontiers ahead.

Find your pair at tocovis.com slash back and face the day comfortably and confidently like the generations before.

So Kyle and Josh were both losing their hair.

No shock since the male pattern baldness thing that ran in their family.

But the way they dealt with their hair loss couldn't have been more different.

Kyle kept putting off getting hair loss treatment, losing more hair by the day, while Josh went to Keeps to learn how to keep his hair.

Keeps offers the generic version of the only two FDA-approved hair loss products, the real deal.

The generic version saved Josh a fortune, and all it took was a quick online consultation.

He answered a few questions, snapped some pictures of his hair.

Doctor evaluated everything and recommended the right FDA-approved hair loss treatment for Josh.

It was shipped to his door.

He took it.

There's a difference between the two heads of hair now.

What's next?

Maine had five disasters in a week.

A third of the state lost power because of a freak snowstorm, then a powerful windstorm, then they were locked down because of the pandemic, then the rivers swelled because of heavy rain, then an explosion ripped through a paper mill.

Five disasters.

Five disasters.

And that's not even counting the fact that they, I think, also voted for Bernie Sanders.

So, I mean.

Michael Malice is with us.

He is the author of The New Right and the podcast host of Your Welcome.

Welcome to the program, Michael Malice.

How are you, Michael?

Thanks so much, Blen.

I wanted to run something by you that just broke, and our researchers have verified and reached out to Facebook.

New Jersey residents hoping to emulate the anti-stay-at-home protests in other states were thrown a curveball when Facebook shut down their event page.

The Open New Jersey rally planned for April 28th at the Trenton War Memorial, blah, blah, blah, was informed by Facebook the event page violated the social media platform's community standards.

They said Facebook was warned that it was coordinating harm and promoting crime.

And so they have now

kicked them off of Facebook in California, New Jersey, and Nebraska because the governors have said in those three states that this violates their stay-at-home orders and they asked Facebook to delete them and Facebook did.

Comments?

You know how when you and I were younger, people had this belief that corporations were essentially, if not right of center, just downright conservative?

Remember this?

Yeah.

And now you look at things, and if it wasn't for shows like yours and other social media outlets, we'd never know about this.

When we were younger, things like this would happen all the time.

They would not get covered on one of the three networks or the local paper, and these people would not exist for all intents and purposes.

And thankfully now, on a daily basis, we can discover the shenanigans that these organizations are pulling off brazenly and publicly.

And not only, I'm not even gonna say shamelessly proudly they're proud that they're going to put their finger on the scale and say we are on the side of the state in every look at how many companies online visa and mastercard will refuse to work with organizations that sell things like gun stocks or like gun handles.

There was a guy I wanted to get a pen holder from and he couldn't take my Visa or MasterCard because he also sells like custom uh things for the gun grip it he's not even selling weapons so thankfully there's an understanding wait a minute these guys not only are they not our friends but they have no problem taking the side of uh you know the state but more especially more importantly the establishment um and and this is a thing that is i think go ahead

no i i just think that these are only going to make things worse i mean people are not protesting because, you know, they can't go see their favorite movie.

They're protesting because their states are saying you can't get into your car.

They're protesting because I can't go to church or I can't do the things that

make common sense.

They're just common sense.

Who am I infecting if I'm in my car and I go and I listen to a pastor on the radio and I don't get out of my car?

How is that harming anybody?

How is that spreading the disease?

And I think these kinds of things are just making it so much worse for them.

Glenn, if you look not that long ago, remember there were Ferguson riots and the city was on fire.

People, you know, it was very, very dark days, very dangerous days.

If you look at Wikipedia, it's not referred to as the Ferguson riots.

Last I checked, it was called the Ferguson Unrest.

Now, if you were organizing something around Ferguson, when things were really like this could go south really fast, really quickly, as if it didn't go south already you think Facebook would pull those organization those things no they wouldn't

there is there is a belief

that when things are in a certain way we they these

when people talk about and you look they learn this in college I was a business major and you're taught to be responsible corporate citizenship.

Now, who would be against any of those things?

That sounds pretty nice.

I want to be responsible.

I want to be a good citizen.

But what that means is using everything in your corporate power to defend what the state has decided is appropriate and delineated the limits of correct behavior.

That's not what a free country is about.

That is what a corporatist country is about.

All right.

I want to have you tell a story that something happened in Maryland that I don't think anybody is aware of.

And I just, I'm having a hard time believing it to be true.

And then, again, with everything going on, I'm not.

We're going to get to that story here in one minute.

Let me pause just for one minute

so

I can talk to you about our sponsor, which is Tocovis Boots.

Somewhere in America right now, within the sound of my voice, there's a man at the helm of a big rig truck.

He is navigating through those mountain switchbacks like a skier on

an uphill slalom.

On the radio, maybe John Denver is singing from beyond the grave about the country roads taking him home.

And the driver smiles just a little bit at the thought.

It'll be the interstates that take him home when he finally goes.

But right now, America's beating heart is sending him somewhere else.

People in need of things that he carries, the food, the clothing, the

shiny stuff that people need, I guess.

It reminds him of the integrity of his profession.

Yeah, it is a profession to drive a truck and an honored profession.

He taps his toe in the rhythm with John Denver, and his feet are clad in style and comfort and integrity because he's wearing a Takovis boot.

200 steps it takes to make his boots, and each step by hand with the world's finest and most exotic leathers.

Takovis boots.

They're made with the integrity of a handshake kind of deal.

It's Takovis.

Find your Western wear at Tacovis.

Get a pair of boots.

See how great these boots are and how unbelievable the cost is.

It is so much lower than anything in its category.

About half the cost.

10 seconds, station ID.

So Michael Alice is with us.

He is an author and blogger, and he's written a ton of books.

The unauthorized autobiography of Kim Jong-il is just fantastic.

One of his books that we've talked to him about before.

He is now following a story in Maryland.

Tell me about this, Michael.

Yeah, there was a young man named Duncan Lemp.

He was 21 years old.

And in March, mid-March, he was with his girlfriend in his bed.

They lived with his parents.

And there was a no-knock warrant that was issued to the police.

They claim that he was someone who was a prohibited person, who was not allowed to have a firearm.

For three months, they had this anonymous tip.

They decided at 4.30 in the morning, according to them, this is their side of the story, that they executed a no-knock raid.

He was holding a gun.

There's no dispute that he was killed by the police.

Now, unfortunately for them, there were many eyewitnesses at the scene.

He was living at home with the girlfriend, with the parents.

They say that the cops shot through the window, shot him through the window, that they threw in flash bobs through the window.

We know this is standard practice for this.

And now there is a big illegal situation.

They have not released the body cam footage.

They're not giving a reason why they're not releasing the body cam footage.

When reporters ask them in writing, why have you not released the body camp footage?

What is the procedure for releasing the body camp footage?

They said, look at our press release.

Now, Glenn, if you were me and you had undertaken actions that would result in the, oh, by the way, she's pregnant.

Okay, so now she's going to have this kid in six months without a dad.

The girlfriend.

The girlfriend, yes, who was also blighted up.

Some reports say she was shot.

She was not.

She was blighted up by rough handling by the SWAT team.

The thing that other point I wanted to make is I was born in the Soviet Union, as you know.

One of the big comments we used to have about the Soviet Union is that in Russia, you're waiting for the knock at the door in the middle of the night, right?

For the KGB to come.

The KGB had the courtesy to knock.

There is no reason in America why someone who is not an imminent threat to anyone should have

SWAT teams coming into their house at four in the morning.

At the very least, it's going to endanger the officers.

And if there's other people living in the home, why don't you serve a warrant while they're there and he's not there?

And if these guns shouldn't be there, sweep them out that way.

This is the best case scenario for the police I'm laying out.

And it still doesn't make sense what happened.

It's under investigation by another county.

You know,

his lawyers are claiming there's no evidence he was a prohibited person to begin with.

And this is the kind of thing where I would hope more people would be upset that this is happening under our noses in this country.

So, Michael, I read the story and the part that

they did cover was that there was no indication that he was of any danger in that warrant.

Right.

Right.

And the other thing that's amazing, they're claiming, I'm sorry to interrupt you, Glenn.

They're claiming that the cops are claiming that they came in and they asked him several times to put his hand up and he reached for his gun.

Are you telling me anyone on earth sees the SWAT come into your house at four in the morning and they identify themselves?

And you're like, oh, I'm just going to get my gun and take them on.

They treated this kid like they treat Bin Laden.

That's what they did to Bin Laden.

They went to his house in the middle of the night and started shooting.

So,

what is your thought on what happened here?

Was this just bad police work?

What are your thoughts?

My thought is, you know,

we have had an escalation of police force against the citizenry for a very long time in this country.

The premise of no-knock raids is started with a drug war.

with the idea that, okay, if we knock on a raid and there's a drug dealer, he's going to flush the drugs down the toilet, and then we won't have the evidence.

Fine, let's pretend that that's something that needs to be the case.

You cannot destroy guns within seconds.

You can't flush them down the toilet.

There was no claim on any level ever that this kid was an imminent threat.

And look at the other side, people like Nicholas Cruz, who was the shooter

in Florida, who told the authorities repeatedly that he's going to get a gun and shoot up the school.

And they said, well, a regular kid wouldn't say this, so they put him in special ed.

So I think it is, we have something called the Second Amendment, and we have something something called due process and reasonable search and seizure.

These are all principles we're all told all the time, every day, are drilled into our heads.

And the fact that this, and the fact that there's evidence that could clear the police very easily and hasn't yet been released, to me, is extremely telling.

Because if this is, again, like I said, if I had been one of these officers and now my friends are wondering if I killed an innocent young man, I would be screaming at my boss, release this footage footage right now.

I can't have this on my conscience.

All right.

Now let me tell the audience something that you haven't shared yet that I think makes your ears perk up.

There is a suggestion that he was part of the

three percenters, which I've never heard of.

Apparently, this is

a militia group that is, you know, rooting for the civil war, et et cetera, et cetera.

And they say that he had an Instagram account.

He had posted a photograph that depicts two people holding up rifles and included the term Boogaloo, which I guess militia members use and other extremists to describe the future civil war in the U.S.

Okay, so let me just break that down because the kid's 21 and what you're referring to is an internet meme.

It is a joke that's went from people who are very frustrated.

I'm not speaking about this group, I'm talking about the term Boogaloo.

There's two ways people use it.

One is the real nuts who are like, we want an imminent civil war.

And the others who are like, screw all this.

It's not working.

Let's burn it down.

Bring the civil war on now.

Now, there's no evidence or even claim that he's meeting with other people, that he's training with them.

He's in a very rich county in Maryland.

He's not in the woods somewhere in, you know, and I'm not trying to insult these fate, in Wyoming where they're on a ranch and they have their own electricity.

This is a Instagram post.

Now, and the and they're trying desperately, it seems to me, to find some rationalization.

Where are these other members of this group?

How come they're not raiding their homes?

So you're telling me that if someone has an Instagram post that uses a certain inflammatory term, it is appropriate to raid their home at four.

It's not like he said, oh, tomorrow, you know, Baboo starts.

I got my gun.

I'm ready.

The acclaim that from an Instagram post, it is appropriate to come in guns blazing on an American citizen at 4.30 in the morning, to me, does not pass the SNP test.

So where are we headed, Michael?

Because

I see these,

I think, you know, tyrant wannabes

that are these governors that are doing all kinds of really crazy things.

Now they're upping the game by silencing people's voices like with Facebook.

You've got high unemployment coming our way, real economic instability.

Where are we headed?

We're here.

There's nothing to head.

He's dead.

So we are already here, and we've been here for quite a while and been in a country where it is the law that if you are not an imminent threat and have guns in your house, instead of going through due process, instead of there's four of the people in that house, brothers, girlfriend, parents, instead of saying, hey, we're going to come in here and search, and we're going to do, and

if you knocked on that door and pointed a gun at mom's head during the day and said, we have a warrant, you're letting us in here, she'd be like police officers, and they can execute their search perfectly.

So the fact that their preference is to to do it this way is something especially conservatives should be very concerned about.

And I think the only way this changes is when police officers are in a position where they're facing consequences and they're the ones who have to say, I'm not doing this.

This is not, at the very least, I'm not doing this because I'm not putting myself in harm's way.

There's no incentive for me to be cracking down a kid's door who's in bed with his girlfriend

for liking a meme at 4 30 in the morning because listen anyone who's 4 30 in the morning and people come in with guns blazing you're not going to be thinking rationally and be like oh this is fine let's just have a tea party your first thought is going to be this is a home invasion i'm going to get protected here's what else happened there's other articles that point out that he had a booby trap in his house he had a booby trap that if people went through a certain door uh without permission whatever a shotgun would go off and make a lot of noise and while the girlfriend was laying there bleeding she warned the officer and Duncan was dead, she warned the officers, hey, there's a booby trap.

I don't want you to get hurt.

And they disarmed it.

All right.

Well, why did he have the booby?

I mean,

what was behind the door of the booby trap?

It was just the kind of thing, like, we have burglar alarms.

It's the same thing.

It's not like you step in and it's a bear trap.

It's if someone breaks down this door, they're going to have a huge explosion, like an explosion of not go bomb, but like whatever the thing to scare off an home invader.

Because

he's got a girlfriend who's pregnant with him.

And you know what?

It's kind of ironic.

It's like, why do you have a booby trap?

It's like, because the guy was scared of home invasion correctly, because that ended up killing him.

Right.

Yeah, okay.

I guess you.

Why would someone be afraid that people come in the middle of the night and sh murder him?

That's crazy.

That would never happen.

Except for literally.

I know, I know.

I got it.

I got it michael thank you

you're laughing but but but some of the newspapers are making this case like what a loon it's like but he was right this is what happened you're the loon right

right

i i'm i'm concerned beyond this particular case yes uh that we are uh that we're a powder keg and um

and people are just throwing gasoline all over it.

And when I say people, I mean the states and the governors and the police officers and the people who are, you know, I have a story,

where was it?

A story about how all of these Chinese drones are now being purchased by these law enforcement

agencies, local law enforcement, all over the country.

We're not a drone country.

And I just, I think we're just crossing all kinds of lines and using this pandemic as an excuse to do it.

It's the biggest savings we've ever offered.

But letamericawork.us,

you will find these facts.

A record of 16 million people filed for unemployment in the last three weeks.

Less than 17% of the $2 trillion stimulus package is going to small businesses, which employ over half of the workforce.

Thousands of businesses risk closing their doors forever and continuing the blanket strategy of horizontal isolation will result in the loss of life and multi-generational poverty.

How do we solve this crisis?

Isolate and protect those who are at risk and let the rest of the country go back to work.

We have the guy who started this, Sage Harrison.

He's a small business owner and he is actually, he was on the program with us over a month ago.

He was up in Aspen, and he

contracted the coronavirus before the shutdown, came back, had it.

He was on the air with us.

And now he has put together a coalition of small business owners and CEOs

basically begging the government, let us go back to work.

Sage, welcome to the program.

How are you?

Thank you, Glenn.

I'm great.

I'm great.

Thank you.

And that's exactly right.

That's literally what we're doing is we're begging the government to reopen because I feel and business owners that I'm friends with feel that this economic shutdown will cause a greater loss of life than the virus will.

Even in worst case scenario models,

we're looking at just an enormous, enormous problem for our country by continuing to shut down.

Make that case, Sage, because the mainstream media is not hearing it.

So make that case.

Well, it really is a math problem, and it gets a little bit convoluted to go through over the phone.

But if you go to my website and you look at, there's a brilliant

statistician on the website that explains that you have to break everything into

life years, essentially.

Instead of individual lives, you break it down into life years.

And the American Medical Journal has found a perfect correlation between life longevity and income.

And so the bottom quartile of our country, those that live in the bottom quartile from an income standpoint, live 15 years less than people in the top quartile of income in our country.

And so when you kind of work through all this coronavirus math, where you end up is there are there's massive loss of income to everybody, many, many, many people in the country, and that's going to correlate to many, many

more years of lost life than

if you lose 2 million people from the coronavirus right now.

So

I can't believe that I opened this segment with saying, and he's a CEO that is begging the government to open up business in America.

When did we get to this situation where the government

we have to beg the government to do anything?

It's such a lesson.

crazy thing.

Oh, I know.

It's absolutely crazy.

You know, and when I was talking to your producers, they had asked me about the triple P loan and about the process that, I mean, so just to give you a little more background, I am a business owner.

The company that I'm the chairman of is not a huge business.

It employed 90 some odd people.

And it was outside New York, it was in Manhattan.

We serviced 1,000 restaurants doing ventilation compliance work, cleaning grease ducts, grease traps.

Fantastic business, fantastic customers.

The business is 20 years old.

Well, within two months, I've laid off every single person.

The CEO, myself, and the COO are all obviously working for free,

but we have no employees because our restaurants, all the restaurants in New York are shut down.

We applied for this triple P loan,

which I think started out as a really good piece of legislation and started out to help a lot of people.

But many, many major banks fumble the ball here.

You have banks like Wells Fargo and Comerica that

basically didn't participate in the program, yet didn't tell their customers they weren't going to participate in the program.

And it's left many businesses really in a tight spot.

And many companies did not get this loan before the funds ran out.

And what is the process?

Because I've been hearing from people who are like, this is craziness.

I haven't been able to, you know,

get to the right bank because

I wasn't working with a bank that was offering it.

So my bank sent me someplace else.

And then I didn't have a relationship and I can't get a loan.

Oh, that's right.

That's right.

That happened to me.

And I mean, I have sophisticated capital partners, a private equity group that I partner with to invest in businesses.

So I have as many resources and connections as a business person can have in the small business world, right?

And

I myself, we went to a bank that was an SBA lender that we had a relationship with, and

they said, hey, we've submitted your application.

We're just waiting on a confirmation number.

That lasted for eight days.

And this is a $20 billion mid-sized Texas bank.

And I had gotten so fed up, I started just emailing the chairman and emailing the CEO of the bank who I didn't know.

And they replied, hey, we're really inundated.

We're busy.

We've got thousands of applications, and the SBA website is really slow, and there's nothing we can do about it.

The day before Easter, they had come out.

There'd been an article in the Wall Street Journal about how these funds were almost entirely allocated.

And I just started panicking.

And I called a friend of mine who owned a bank.

And I said, listen, the bank he owns is called Titan Bank.

And I called him up and I I said Jonathan I'm having I'm really in a bind and I've never we've never done business I don't have any basic relationship with you, but I need help my business if we don't get this loan We're basically out of business.

We've got to get this loan and he and he said send me all the paperwork.

I'll get it processed today.

I said today you can do it in one day.

He goes I can do it in 45 minutes once you get me the paperwork and he did.

I filled out all his paperwork, me and my analyst filled out the paperwork for Titan Bank, sent it in.

He had our loan processed with an SBA verification number in 45 minutes after he received it.

So it tells me that these major banks literally just did not want to do it, even though it's 100% guaranteed by the government.

The banks can't lose money on it.

And they made a significant fee for doing it.

All across the board, banks made $7 billion.

Why would they not want to do it?

The only thing I can come up with, Glenn, is that they either A, didn't trust that the government would back it 100%,

or they didn't have the internal flexibility and agility to put human resources towards the business owners

to process these loans.

You know, because it's not like they have a division of SBA triple P processing people sitting there.

So they would have had to move people around or do something creative.

And big banks aren't necessarily known for that.

but these big banks are the ones that got most of our they got most of our money so that's that's the problem here is is right it's these guys and even with the PPP 60% of those loans went to companies that have shareholders that have I mean actual openly traded on the market that that that's not a small business That's not who this was intended for.

It's shameful because another thing that happened is a lot of businesses that just straight up didn't need this loan, internet businesses.

Internet businesses are thriving right now because everyone's trapped in our house.

And yet they still get the loan.

It was never a question as to whether you needed the loan or whether your business had been really impacted or not because everybody can say their business is, quote, impacted.

But a lot of this money went to companies that didn't need it.

And a lot of companies that really, really needed this didn't get it.

So, Sage, where do you go from here?

I know you're putting together this group of CEOs.

Tell me what your plans are.

What are you doing?

Well, you know, I'd honestly, I'd love your advice and your listeners' advice because we just, we want to, we want to make a ruckus.

We want to start giving the business owners in this country a voice.

Right now, when Trump wants to talk to business, you know, he interviews somebody from Goldman Sachs and Jerry Jones was on his business committee and Robert Kraft and love Jerry Jones, big Cowboys fan, but that guy is not a small business owner.

He does not know the stress of trying to make a payroll on a weekly basis.

And

I don't think the SBA does either.

I don't think

they're not what they

used to be, I think.

Glenn, all you got to do is look at

the leader of the SBA.

It's a woman.

She looks like a great person, but she worked for UPS for her whole career.

She was in major operations for UPS.

UPS also not a small business.

It hasn't been a small business for a really long time.

And so she may be very capable.

She may be a brilliant person, but again, the SBA is not the spokesperson for the small business owner, and they need to be.

We're desperate for a voice.

And, you know, this is a website.

It's a petition.

I would invite any of your listeners to go to letamericawork.us and sign the petition.

And really,

all my goal is with it, is to start applying pressure to politicians to try to start having a conversation like we're having today, Glenn, to start to make people aware that business owners, small business owners feel, or many small business owners, I'm going to say all small business owners, but many small business owners feel the need to reopen the economy for the sake of our country, for the sake of our employees.

This PPP loan, yeah, it's great, but let me tell you another huge problem with it, that the government, in the process of doing something good,

did something that

hurts small business.

Okay, let's talk about unemployment compensation.

Okay, this is a huge issue because

state unemployment benefits are state administered and they're usually about 45% of someone's compensation.

Well, with this coronavirus package, what they said was that, hey,

anybody that's unemployed, we're going to give an additional $600 to those people.

So it doesn't matter how much your initial compensation was, we're going to throw an additional $600 at those folks.

Okay, well think about that for a second.

That feels really generous, and I read something that, this was Nancy Pelosi's like big push that she called

like Mitch McConnell cruel because he didn't think we should do this.

And think about what this does.

Okay, I've got guys that clean grease ducks in restaurants in Manhattan at three in the morning.

I pay them anywhere from $16 to $24 an hour.

They can make really great money.

But what this does is that extra $600 basically gives these guys about as much money and in some cases more money than I can pay them to do very hard work.

So they are not wanting to come back to work.

And I cannot rehire the guys that the triple P loan was meant for me to rehire.

And let me tell you what happens here.

So they say, well, you know,

if you try to offer an employee a job and he's an ex-employee a job and he doesn't come back, then you report that to the state unemployment office and they'll cut off his benefits.

Well, Glenn, try giving the state unemployment office a call these days.

See how many people you get to talk to over there.

Okay.

The process is broken.

It is shattered.

And so

they have basically acted like this is something that's going to help us, and it's not.

All right.

Sage, thank you for being on with us.

After the hundredth time scrolling through your feed today, maybe you need some new reading material to get you through the quarantine.

Please.

We got you.

Glenn Beck has a new book called Arguing with Socialists, and you can order it now from anywhere books are sold.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

This is the Glenbeck program.

We're glad you're here.

You know, the number one movie was in America last weekend.

There are 14 movie theaters open in the U.S.

right now.

Only one of them is showing new movies.

So the number one movie in America last week made $1,700.

And

it was called Swallow.

Now,

I just don't know if there's...

It's not what you're thinking.

It actually is getting good critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

Only 60% of the audience, but like 92% of critics.

It's a story of a newly pregnant housewife.

She seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home, dotting on her Kendall husband.

However, as the pressure to meet her controlling in-laws and husband's rigid expectations amount, cracks begin to appear in her carefully

created facade.

Hunter develops a dangerous habit, and a dark secret from her past seeps out in the form of a disorder called Pika, a condition that has her compulsively swallowing.

Pica?

I've never heard of it.

Pica?

Compulsive swallowing inedible and oftentimes life-threatening objects.

Wow.

I mean,

that doesn't sound like the number one movie in America just right there.

I mean, I don't know if the quarantine actually affected its box office receipts.

I think 1700 is with or without quarantine.

I think it did really well.

Beat all expectations even before the quarantine.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

This...

This shutdown may stop Coke from making Coke, Budweiser from making Budweiser.

All right, now we have gone too far.

The update in our coronavirus update in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

In today's digital world, you're actually more likely to have your identity stolen than have your car stolen or your house burglarized.

And this is something that everyone should really, really

pay attention to.

And this was all before we went down down on

lockdown mode.

Imagine how bad it is right now.

Life Lock.

You leave a digital footprint every time you get on the internet.

And there's a lot of bad actors out there who have nothing else

better to do with their time than swoop in and use that footprint against you and steal your identity.

So I want you to visit lifelock.com, use the promo code back.

You're going to save, I don't know how much it is, 25% you're going to save right now at lifelock.com promo code back.

Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor everything at everywhere, but they are the best at what they do and they have a team that will help fix it if it becomes a problem.

They're going to catch the things that you miss.

It's lifelock.com, lifelock.com.

Use the promo code back.

All right, here's our update.

Total confirmed cases worldwide now, 2,400 up from almost 2.2 on Friday.

The deaths are up about 20,000 globally.

The U.S.

now has

746,000 cases.

That's up from 687 on Friday.

And we are up about 6,000 in deaths to 40,766.

We currently have 13,400 people in serious or critical condition.

We are now 13th in fatality rate per 1 million people.

We are behind the Netherlands and Sweden and Ireland and Spain and Italy and UK and Belgium, all those places with socialized medicine.

At least 20 states now in the U.S.

are using Chinese-made aerial drones to ensure that we are following our

social distancing regulations.

Stu,

this is what I think the problem is.

It's not just about opening up the restaurant.

It's about that we have 20 states using Chinese drones to monitor us.

Yeah, I mean, the idea that essential activity has been defined in such strange ways, like, don't we start with, I don't know, our constitutionally guaranteed rights?

Wouldn't that be a good place to start when you're talking about essential activities?

And yet we're banning gun sales, we're banning church services, we're banning protests, we're banning all the things that are included in our constitutionally guaranteed rights and leaving other things bizarrely open.

Like, you know, Florida opened up their beaches this weekend, which I think a lot of people were very appreciative of.

However, they were only open for things like surfing, which like surfing is defined as essential activity because it's exercise, I guess, but relaxing at the beach and reading a book is not essential.

So that would be banned.

by the way that they've opened up.

That is insane.

That is, I think, the issue.

This stuff doesn't make sense to people i think people generally speaking have done a really good job trying to you know honor these things and and make sure that they don't spread this virus and they've been incredibly restrained no

nobody has a death wish nobody wants to get sick nobody wants everybody else to die they just don't like it that they are being told exactly what to do and now when you have when you have a chinese tech company that is tied directly to the Communist Party, has CCP board members on the board of directors, and we're buying drones from them for our police department.

And the police department is flying these over the heads of people saying, hey, you got to go home.

No,

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I'm not, let's just see.

I'm not supposed to go to church, even if I'm in a car with my windows rolled up.

Not supposed to go to church.

That's First Amendment.

I'm not supposed to congregate and associate with people in a group.

That's First Amendment.

I can't associate with people now.

Facebook just banned

the people that were online that were saying, hey, we want to do a protest in our area.

They just banned them because the governors told Facebook to ban them.

So that's First Amendment.

Can't go buy a gun.

That's Second Amendment.

I mean,

how much more do we need to do?

Yeah, like I would.

I would love to see what the reaction would be by the media if a governor said, you know what?

You guys can't go out and cover these protests because it's just too dangerous, can't be outside.

Again, same amendment would be being restrained.

Say, okay, no, freedom of the press just doesn't apply right now.

You guys can't go out and cover things.

It's too dangerous.

How do you think the press would react to that?

Would they react the same same way as when our First Amendment rights go away for the right to?

Look,

we're looking at the difference between life and death.

You guys cannot be in those buildings.

You can't be doing these things.

You can't be covering those stories.

You can't.

It's just life and death.

They would go ape.

They would go absolutely ape.

And of course, that would be completely irrational reaction.

Like many of these places are keeping their employees home, working from home, if it's possible.

But if they need to be out at a place covering it, they're sending them out there.

Is that okay?

Is that okay?

Because

if the governor tried to stop that, it would be the story of the year because they would say it was a constitutional violation for a million different reasons.

And you know what?

They'd be right about that.

The same way, I mean, I think you can ask all you want.

Like, you can ask people to not go to church on Easter Sunday.

And you know what?

Every church, at least that I know of in my area,

did it online and they did everything they could to try to make sure that people were safe and healthy and still were able to worship.

And would have done it.

In fact, my church did it before there was a mandate.

My church came out like two days before.

Remember, I said, my church just canceled everything.

There's no meetings.

There's no church.

There's nothing.

Two days later, that's when the rest of the country went under.

i mean we're not stupid we're not stupid right but on the other side like my my mom goes to a church which is a small church and they've been doing uh services with the cars like you know you could pull them with your car and they're doing you know right and that has been completely there's no risk to it it's a small gathering of people in the cars and that has been okay where she she's located i guess but many states are stopping that for what reason for no reason Just to show that they can control you, that they can push you around.

And that is what makes people believe, I think correctly in some ways, that this is a lot more about control than it is about

control of people rather than control of the virus.

You know, like, you know, canceling protests on Facebook, all these things feed into that.

And there's no reason for it.

It should be the opposite.

You know, when you want to say, hey, like, look, we understand.

If you want to go and you want to have a service in your cars, if you think it's that important, absolutely go and do it.

Just please stay separate.

You know, 99.9% of people are going to honor that because they want to.

They want to.

They are so out of touch that it seems as though to, I think, the average American that likes the Constitution, it seems as though they are taking advantage of this and they're only making they keep upping it.

Where you're exactly right if they would just ask and say hey look we talked to all of the church leaders and we appreciate that and there's there are ways i mean there's this one church over here that's doing it with cars we would we would highly recommend that but you know it's up to each individual a quarantine is when you quarantine and you isolate the sick people not the healthy people the sick people and that's what they've done they've they've they've quarantined all of the healthy people.

And look,

I don't have a problem with it per se

because I think it needed to be done.

But I do have a problem.

Like, for instance, I don't have a problem with the Texas governor and what he's doing.

And he seems to be opening things up

and moving slowly.

Would I like it to go a little faster?

Maybe.

I'm not sitting there looking at all of, I'm not being advised by the medical people

and balancing that with the advice that I would get from all the small business people.

I know that we're in a very dicey situation.

It better happen in the next couple of weeks that we start to go back to work, but not in places like New York.

All right, so what are we going to do?

I don't have a problem staying at home right now, and I'm not going to go to a restaurant.

If it opened today or the movie theater, and it was a packed restaurant or a packed movie theater, I'm not going to the movie theater because of my choice i don't like it when they take my choice away i mean it's like it's like teenagers at some point you have to let them start to make their own choices and fail at the choices because they don't teenagers don't like it when authority says you will do this

so you hopefully have raised them enough to only have to put the guardrails around the big stuff.

Well, there's no guardrails here.

We're just children.

Now, the city of New York and Bill de Blasio is encouraging people to be rats.

And that is, I mean, that's the city to do it in.

And rat on your neighbor.

Send pictures of your neighbor doing something that they shouldn't be doing.

My gosh, do you want to talk about the Stasi?

Talk about turning neighbor against neighbor.

Wow, that's the way to do it.

60% now of PPP cash went to publicly traded companies.

Congress authorized $350 billion for the payroll protection program for small businesses.

And it looks like most of that cash went to chain restaurants and franchises and hotels that are part of publicly traded companies.

Franchise locations, including some that are technically owned and operated by a larger publicly traded company, qualified as small businesses.

Less than 10% now of the PPP loans ended up going to small businesses that employed fewer than 50 employees.

Now, here's some good news.

It looks like

COVID is easily destroyed by UV light.

Most coronavirus studies are easily destroyed by exposure to sunlight, including the SARS-CoV-2.

UV light cripples the lipid-base membrane, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

UVC

does kill coronavirus.

UVC light is completely harmless to humans and our eyes.

UVC light bulbs are available in the U.S.

I guess if we wanted to open up our business, the best thing we could do is maybe

put UVC light bulbs everywhere in our places of business.

Oh, by the way, did you see Sherman Williams has now come out with a paint?

Why aren't we painting all of our hospitals and our schools right now as they're closed?

They should all be repainted with the anti-COVID virus paint.

Somehow or another, they've developed a paint that it kills the coronavirus and doesn't allow it to live on the paint surface.

Experts are now saying that it's time to close grocery stores.

Some experts, union leaders, and small grocery store owners believe it's become too dangerous to let customers browse the aisle.

So they're now saying the large food chains need to go dark.

Okay,

that doesn't sound like a good idea,

but

whatever.

Chinese has now produced news articles in Arabic blaming the U.S.

for COVID-19.

Things are going to get dicey with China.

We have an update on that tomorrow that you really don't want to miss.

Also, it looks like we may run out of beer, soda, and other carbonated beverages.

The lockdown

is hurting our ability

to make compressed carbon dioxide.

And now it looks like our

bubblies are not going to be so bubbly.

The overall demand for fuel has dropped over 30% since the pandemic began.

That, in turn, has caused ethanol plants to stop producing so much ethanol, which is also used as an additive in many fuel products in the U.S.

That is a problem for consumers of fizzy beverages because a significant portion of the country's supply of compressed carbon dioxide, which is used to generate fizz in these beverages, comes as a result of the byproduct of ethanol production.

Now I suddenly care about the

oil price.

And coronavirus.

The pandemic has reportedly caused shortages on several items, but apparently people really like frozen pizza.

We bought $275 million worth of frozen pizza during the month of March.

This is an increase of 92%

from the same time period of the previous year.

According to Ad Week, the increase in sales of frozen pizza is comparable to the recent rush of toilet paper.

As news of coronavirus and impending shutdowns broke, you know, I have to tell you something.

I was one of them that bought a bunch of frozen pizzas.

Did you, Stu?

Well, I went to do that regularly.

It was no change

in my typical pattern.

Yeah, I never buy frozen pizzas, but boy, I did.

That first, when we went in and I first did some shopping, I went in right to the frozen food aisle and I went right to the pizzas.

And I'm like, we're getting all of those.

Well, it makes sense, right?

Like, it's a good food that will stay for a long time if you happen to be in that.

Look, the food chain breaks down.

Mom and dad are dead.

Mom and dad are dead.

You just put this in the microwave, kids.

You step over our dead bodies and you just heat this up and it's called a pizza pocket.

You'll love it.

All right, there's our update for coronavirus.

Our sponsor this half hour is RekTech.

RekTech Grills.

Man, I have to tell you, I live in Texas, and the first questions out of anybody's mouth when you get here are, how many guns do you own?

What kind of grill do you use to cook up some vitals and smoke some meat?

Well, I got a lot of guns, but I didn't have a smoker.

Until recently, the whole master griller thing has never really been my bag.

I have a hard time cooking anything because I like to cook everything on high.

and so it's really really raw on the inside and then just totally black and on fire on the outside you do that a few times and everybody's like you know you shouldn't grill so it's not been my thing anyway now I am smoking with a rectech grill rectech grills are unbelievable this is the best it even has a little meat thermometer you put in we did a big roast yesterday and you put the thermometer in and just it's really really simple to use you turn it on, it tells you what temperature the meat is.

It's totally controlled, just like a regular oven.

You just set it.

I just turn it all the way up to 500 degrees, and it just, or you put it up to like 250, and it smokes.

And then, about 20 minutes before it's done, you turn it up to 500 degrees, and it just sears it just perfectly.

Hello and welcome to the program.

We're glad you're here.

It is Monday.

My name is Glenn Beck.

Stu Bregeer is executive producer and

just

my boy Wonder, really.

I make him wear the tights.

He doesn't wear them voluntarily, but it's good to have you here, Stu.

Please never say that again.

So how was your weekend?

It was good.

You know,

I'm trying to unplug as much as possible on the weekend because I really hate talking about this.

We did one coronavirus-free episode of Stew Does America based on the idea of Turkmenistan, who successfully cured all cases of coronavirus in his country by banning the word coronavirus.

So I thought if we...

It works every time.

It works every time.

You'd never, ever get a case if you do that.

So we attempted that one day, and it felt good.

You know, I mean, it felt good to go back to the old normal problems that we used to deal with.

Like, you know, one of the things we talked about was this odd double standard between the Brett Kavanaugh accusations and the Joe Biden accusations.

And

there seems to be a slight nuance and separation in the way these are being covered.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed it.

It's really difficult to dig into, but when you you look closely,

you can see a little bit of separation.

A little blip.

A little blip.

Yeah, that's strange.

It's weird because I haven't been following this because

New York Times hasn't printed anything about the Joe Biden

problem.

In fact, I don't think really anyone has done anything.

I love the fact that in the last few weeks, he's gotten like 900 questions and none of them

were about that.

Yeah.

Not one.

Pat was telling me off the air when he was in here, if I can remember the numbers correctly, CNN ran 700 stories about the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh.

Total amount of stories written about the Joe Biden accusations,

zero.

None.

Unbelievable.

Not one.

Unbelievable.

Now, this is after, by the way, multiple outlets.

There was a left-wing outlet that initially covered these accusations.

Also, the New York Times did eventually, you know, 20 days later, write a story in which they went through and outlined the

police blotter style with no color or passion.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, telling.

No, none of it.

All that was gone from this particular story.

And they did write one story about it in which they didn't come to any conclusion.

They just basically said, this is what the Biden campaign said in response.

Right.

And there was no pattern.

This comes from

their headline or their Twitter feed.

You know, in that story, we found no pattern of any kind of sexual misconduct except for all of the women in the past that claimed that he was sexually touching them and sniffing his hair.

The past is an important part of a pattern being established.

This is the Glenbeck program, Brown, Brown, Brown.

All right.

Lawnmowers.

Not a big fan of mowing the lawn.

Not a big fan of lawnmowers.

I mean, just get one that gets the job done, I guess.

Until I drove a hustler turf.

This thing is unbelievable.

If you have a lot of lawn to mow, this is going to save you so much time and you're going to really enjoy it.

I want you to go to hustlerturf.com.

Now, you're not going to see these at like Home Depot or anything

because they

are not.

They were always sold through their own dealers because they were doing the

commercial thing for so long.

These are the people that invented the zero turn lawn mower and

they have just started making home lawnmowers, and they have all of the commercial bells and whistles.

So they're really built to light it.

It'll be the last lawnmower you ever buy, and you're going to love it.

They'll be able to give you a demonstration, you know, on video.

You'll be able to contact them.

They can do everything without you ever touching anything.

We're glad you're here.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Wednesday's special.

I'm doing something on Event 201.

And we debated whether or not we should do this or not, because I know exactly how it's going to be painted by the media.

But I, on the other hand, believe that you are smart.

You're not a moron, and you can figure it out.

Event 201 is the answer on who drafted the agenda for our response to this?

How did this happen?

Who was involved?

Event 201 was something that is

all on videotape.

It's not a secret.

It was an event that was planned by Bill Gates and others on what do we do in case of a pandemic.

And it's all on tape.

And we are going to show you all of the highlights of it and show you where these things came from.

And is this good or bad?

I tend to think that it's good

as long as people are aware of all of it

because this is what we want our leaders to do.

This is what we want our businesses to do.

We want them to wargame and say, hey, if this happened, we all know that we were due for a pandemic.

But

how much of a role did this play in what we're experiencing today?

And is it good or not?

I think it is, as long as it's out in the open, which it was.

But they're going to say this is a conspiracy theory and yada, yada.

No, conspiracy has to be really behind closed doors and hidden.

This wasn't hidden at all.

But when you see the war gaming that happened over a couple of days, And you see the heads of businesses and banking and everything else coming together and saying, okay, here's the scenario.

What do you do?

And they go through all of it, the economy, how to close things down, what to do, how to handle the public, how to handle public relations.

To me, it was a little disturbing on how they wargamed the media

so they could be prepared for what to say with the media.

If I put myself in their shoes, it's exactly what I would have done as well.

So that's coming on Wednesday, and it's something that I think you need to see.

And we all just should discuss.

Is this what we want our people to do?

And how much of this affected our government?

And are these people still involved?

You know,

and who's giving the president advice?

Those are things that we should

talk about and know about.

But the questions that the media does not want you to hear and big tech does not want you to hear.

You know, up on the board,

Stu, can you read on the chalkboard those, what is it, five steps

to world global change?

I wrote this about a year and a half ago.

One was polarization/slash civil unrest.

Two, economic destabilization.

Three, tech disruption.

And four, trust implosion.

And then kind of have a box at the end that just says new world order.

I think that was kind of

a step five, I guess.

Yeah, all of those now are happening because of coronavirus.

This was what I said would have to happen for us to change the world.

And I don't want to change the world per se.

I mean, I'd like to make things better.

But for those who had global designs and wanted to shape the world closer to their heart's desire,

this is what it took took to do it.

And all of those things now are either happening or are soon to happen.

And you just need to be aware of it.

I had a conversation with somebody this weekend.

And he does stability reports and,

you know, big, big thinking kind of stuff.

And he called me up and he said, I want to understand

this new movement

about,

you know, civil rights and coronavirus.

He said, What do you think that's really all about?

And I said, I think it's about, well, I don't know, civil rights and everything that's going on with the coronavirus.

I said, this is not about opening up any given restaurant.

This is about being told you cannot do things.

Americans do not like to be told you cannot do this.

We will gladly volunteer, but to get a ticket or to be called a criminal or to be asked to rat on neighbors or to have a drone fly in your backyard when you have a barbecue, no, that's not America.

And I think that's going to play a role.

And I think the left is going to use this.

And you're already seeing it with Elon Omar.

And she is now asking for all rent to be suspended in New York.

Already about 40% of renters in New York did not pay their rent.

And this is going to become a rallying cry for the left.

You're going to look at universal basic income.

They're going to say no rent.

They're going to do all these kinds of things.

And you're going to have a wicked, wicked stew that is coming out of this that is much worse than Occupy Wall Street.

And I think that's going to start happening soon, as soon as people start to go back to work.

And a lot of people are going to fall for it.

And he said that he was working on this report because

he advises

lots of companies and powerful people, et cetera, et cetera, on

what the stability of the country is going to be like.

And I heard from him that he was thinking that

he didn't think that the cities were going to be necessarily in great shape.

He said, I'm not predicting it.

He said, but I can see all of the pieces come into line where we could have real civil unrest and the big cities are not going to be the place to be.

I happen to agree with him.

I mean, it's quite clear that population density is a big part of this, right?

I mean, it's going, I mean, that doesn't mean it doesn't hit other areas, but it's hard to picture complete societal meltdowns like we've seen in New York City, in

some rural Wyoming area.

So

just that fundamental thing going on is going to, I think it's going to convince some people to think that maybe rethink the idea of just city living generally.

This is something that is

going to be a problem for a while, it looks like.

And

moving out of those areas just seems like it would be a move that you'd want to consider because these things can flare up quickly, as we've seen here.

If you were living in New York City, is there a chance as soon as you could move that you wouldn't move?

I would.

I'd be out of that city.

And I mean, that's one of the reasons why we left.

I mean, if this thing, you know, I used to say all the time, if this city ever melts down, it's just they're going to be eating each other within a month.

And how many ways off the island, Glenn?

You that's what you said.

There's only this many, you know, how many paths off the island are there?

Yeah.

Six.

Six, yeah.

Six bridges off of the off of the island.

But I think that there are,

I think that there are

when you have lines in California

coming off of the highway with the cars to get to a soup kitchen, to get to a food bank, you've got serious issues.

And we really have to take care of our neighbors and help one another, not spy on one another, help one another.

Where are you seeing that message?

Outside of Trump and Pence, you know, and I hear Pence give this

kind of this speech almost every day.

But

where are you hearing that?

Where are you hearing take care of one another?

Reach out.

Don't spy.

Help each other.

Yeah, and be rational.

You know, it's funny.

Like, we're getting to that point, Glenn.

Remember after Hurricane Katrina, they obviously have the disaster in New Orleans, and a lot of people get up and they leave to avoid the hurricane.

And tons of people never go back to New Orleans to live.

They wind up going to the new city and never visit their apartment, never visit their home again.

This happened all over the place.

It's happening also in New York City now, where people are saying, look, we're looking at the next, what, several months of not being able to do anything.

Why am I going to even bother going back to that apartment?

I'll send a moving company over there if we can get my stuff out of there.

And I'll go live somewhere else in the country because this is going to be shut down.

Tons of people, Glenn, you know, just they left because it was getting bad or they were out of town on business and decided not to go back to New York.

So now they're out of the, they're not back in New York now.

They haven't been back in, you know, a month and a half, and they may never go back.

And I don't think you're going to, yeah, I don't know if you're ever going to be able to, I mean, when I say ever, you know, for the next 12 or 18 months, I think there are going to be places in the country that are going to have flare-up after flare-up after flare-up.

And New York would be, I would think, one of them where, you know, you just, you, the, the, the one thing I haven't heard anybody talk about is, okay, when we open up the country, are we going to open up the airports to international travel?

Are we going to, are we going to do that?

Because international travel is what caused Hong Kong to go back into alert.

You know, they didn't have a problem with it in China or in Hong Kong.

They had already gotten past it.

Then they opened everything up and people started traveling from Hong Kong to Europe and then back and brought the virus back because it's a new strain.

There's the Chinese strain.

We have the European strain.

There's more than just the two strains.

So

it's going to be circulating for a while.

So when we do open up, what's normal?

Yeah, they're talking about

basically for the foreseeable future until there's a cure or a vaccine or whatever for this, they're talking about

international travel, everybody just being in a 14-day quarantine that comes to visit.

Well, that eliminates all

international vacation travel, right?

No one can come and be in quarantine for 14 days and then go on vacation unless you have a really sweet vacation plan at work.

So that's basically eliminating all of that.

I mean, what does that do to the airlines long term, right?

What does that do to Disney and

other vacation locations in the United States?

I mean, it is a total change of the way

we kind of deal with the economy and life in general.

And that's why, like, you have to focus.

All this stuff is

somewhat academic as to whether we quote unquote the government tells us we can go to restaurants or not.

I mean, it's important, right?

And that stuff's going to have to flesh itself out.

But long-term, really, all there is is how do we get this to a point where there's a cure or a treatment that will convince people they're not going to die when they go out to eat.

That's what we have to do.

Convince people they're not going to die.

If you can do that,

whether the virus can keep going forever, if we have a treatment that will back people off off from the verge of death to being able to survive a really bad illness, we can make our way through that.

When we're knocking off grandpa and grandma at a rate of 20% of the people who get tested for it and test positive die,

that's just not acceptable.

I don't care.

You know, so many people throw that out there.

It's like, oh, well, it's only affecting old people and people with preexisting conditions.

The number for preexisting conditions in this country is 157 million.

That is not, it's not a, it's not an okay thing to just be like, ah, it's just that half of the country that might die from it.

There is a significant percentage.

And then, you know, above 65 years old, you're talking about 50 million people.

These are not people I'm willing to lose.

So let's get to a point where we can go really hardcore and try to get a, you know, capitalism will come up with a solution here eventually.

We're just going to have to really muddle through until that occurs.

Listen to this Marxist socialist.

I don't want 50 million people to die if we have to keep the economy closed.

Wow.

We know the true conservative is now, Stu.

Thanks.

All right.

I don't speak dog, but if I did, I know Uno would be telling me and have tons of adjectives to describe how much he loves rough greens.

This is a dog that we were worried about, have been worried about forever because he doesn't gain weight.

He doesn't eat.

ever doesn't like it now he eats and I

on Easter I got up early and I fed the dog.

Well, my wife got up earlier and she fed the dog and he ate both times within an hour.

He would have never done that.

And he looked at me after he had already eaten and I'm like, you want breakfast?

And he's wagging his tail like, I'm so hungry.

I'm so hungry.

Anyway.

He eats now and he loves it.

This is not a food.

It is a supplement you put on the food.

It helps them eat it, but it gives all of the live nutrients that they need.

This has vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, even omega oils and antioxidants, and he loves it.

It's rough greens.

Try it for 14-day to get the jumpstart challenge.

See the difference in your dog in 14 days or less.

Just go to roughgreens.com/slash beck.

That's roughgreens.

R-U-F-F Greens.com/slash Beck.

I don't speak dog, but

it's the only supplement that he asked for by name.

Rough.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I cannot let a show go by.

where there's a big Brian Stelter from CNN story and not comment on it.

Brian wrote from CNN on Saturday, Last night I hit a wall, gutted by the death toll, disturbed by the government's shortcomings, dismayed by the political rhetoric that bears no resemblance to reality, worried about my friends who are losing jobs, kids who are missing school, senior citizens who are living in fear.

I crawled in bed and I cried for our pre-pandemic lives.

Tears that have been waiting a month to escape.

What I

now, you're going to take a critical position on

you know what they said about me, that I was making it up, that I didn't care when I said I worried about my country.

I'm going to give Brian Stelter the benefit of the doubt.

That what he's saying here is he worries about his country.

But gee, did anybody there at CNN give me the benefit of the doubt?

Brian,

no,

no.

Now you know what it feels like.

The left does have this thing where when it's when it's, you know, it's children in cages on the border and they have this, you know, mythology

all crafted into their minds and they're telling that story to themselves.

It's like, that's totally okay to cry about in public.

But when you're crying for the loss of freedoms, then that's a terrible,

you know, a misstep, I suppose.

And you notice he didn't say that he was crying about the loss of freedoms uh it wasn't not in that wasn't included in there at all but uh

cry yourself to sleep on your giant pillow brian it's not actually giant it's normal size but he is so small
