=== Confirmed Cases and Stimulus (04:42) ===

[00:00:00]  Welcome to the podcast.
[00:00:01]  Today we get some really wonderful news about our employment situation.
[00:00:05]  It turns out when you turn the economy off, a lot of people get unemployed pretty quickly.
[00:00:09]  So it's an interesting development.
[00:00:11]  We'll give you the details on that.
[00:00:13]  Are the end times here?
[00:00:15]  Kind of feels like it from time to time, but there's some good news as well as there's at least some upside and some thinking that maybe this isn't going to be as bad as some had initially projected.
[00:00:27]  We'll get into those details.
[00:00:29]  The stimulus package, what's in it, there's a bunch of nightmare stuff in there.
[00:00:33]  We talk about Ilan Omar with Ben Weingarten.
[00:00:35]  He's got a new book out, Elon Omar and the Progressive Islamist Takeover of the Democratic Party that you should definitely check out.
[00:00:43]  The coronavirus update, and we talked to someone from the Biden campaign as well.
[00:00:48]  It's all on the podcast.
[00:00:50]  And tonight on Stu Does America, we're going to be going into Andrew Cuomo.
[00:00:53]  I can't take it.
[00:00:54]  Why do people think he's good?
[00:00:55]  He's not doing a good job.
[00:00:56]  He's been a failure since the beginning of this.
[00:00:58]  We're going to walk you through it step by step before the media just puts him in the White House, apparently, directly.
[00:01:04]  We'll get into that on Stu Does America.
[00:01:06]  If you search for Stu DoesAmerica on your podcast app and subscribe, that would be fantastic.
[00:01:11]  And don't forget to rate and review this podcast because it helps other people discover the show as well.
[00:01:23]  You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:01:32]  All right, total cases worldwide now for our coronavirus update.
[00:01:35]  All the numbers, 5.30 a.m. are locked in from Johns Hopkins University.
[00:01:40]  Total confirmed cases worldwide now, 486,702, up from 434 yesterday.
[00:01:47]  Total confirmed deaths, only up 3,000 worldwide, 22,000 now.
[00:01:54]  Total confirmed recovered worldwide, 117.
[00:01:57]  That's up 6,000 from yesterday.
[00:01:59]  4% of active cases are now considered serious, requiring hospitalization.
[00:02:04]  That is steady from 4% yesterday, but down from 19% in February.
[00:02:11]  12% of U.S. confirmed cases do require hospitalization at this point.
[00:02:19]  So the U.S. now has 65,581 confirmed cases and 1,000 deaths.
[00:02:27]  Yesterday, it was 784 that had died, and we're up about 12,000 now in cases overnight.
[00:02:36]  We now have 428 official recovered against 1,036 deaths.
[00:02:42]  Brother, can you spare $2 trillion?
[00:02:45]  As we found out this morning, the unemployment rate has gone through the roof, up over 1,000% in a week.
[00:02:54]  We have gone from 292 jobs being created, 292,000 jobs being created, to 3.28 million jobs lost.
[00:03:06]  Those people getting online to file for unemployment.
[00:03:10]  That is in the first week of the coronavirus.
[00:03:14]  This is the biggest turnaround and biggest job loss in American history.
[00:03:19]  But the Senate passed the roughly $2 trillion economic relief response.
[00:03:25]  We're supposed to be getting direct payments right into your bank account.
[00:03:28]  Every American, well, not every American, but those deemed worthy will get $1,200 in two to three weeks, $2,400 plus up to four months, and unemployment benefits.
[00:03:41]  Cuomo has confirmed what introverts have long known, social distancing seems to be working in New York.
[00:03:48]  That's a very positive sign.
[00:03:50]  Anybody who went to Mardi Gras, were the beads worth it?
[00:03:54]  Mardi Gras now getting blamed for the Big Easy outbreak.
[00:03:57]  This is the perfect storm, they say.
[00:04:01]  Fat Tuesday is really when the heads up from the government came in and said, hey, you should not be gathering.
[00:04:13]  But there were 1.4 million tourists there.
[00:04:16]  We, quote, shared drink cups.
[00:04:17]  We shared each other's space in crowds.
[00:04:19]  People were in close contacts catching beads.
[00:04:22]  It's now clear they also caught more than beads.
[00:04:26]  Trouble for the big easy.
[00:04:28]  U.S. military officially now on a no-travel lockdown.
[00:04:32]  If you're in the military, you're not to travel at all.
[00:04:35]  They want to make sure that none of this virus is being spread anywhere else, including in the own ranks.

=== Joe Biden's November Property Relief (15:37) ===

[00:04:42]  And for the best darn face mask in the whole wide world, we have MyPillow to thank for it.
[00:04:51]  My Pillow now is going to be making face masks.
[00:04:56]  They will go, Mike Lindell said, they'll do whatever it takes to make these.
[00:05:01]  We're going to hopefully be going from 10,000 units a day to 50,000 units a day in a very short period of time.
[00:05:08]  Mike Lindell joins literally hundreds of other companies in the U.S. who have heeded the call of President Trump to convert production to respirators, masks, ventilators, gowns, and other needed equipment.
[00:05:21]  And some good news.
[00:05:22]  Further evidence that COVID-19 is seasonal and may spread less in the summer months.
[00:05:28]  Don't let that fool you.
[00:05:31]  It will come back in the fall if it is seasonal.
[00:05:36]  We won't be over it, but it will give us a chance to really kind of catch our breath.
[00:05:42]  hang on who is on the i'm sorry i'm um Wilfred from the Biden campaign is on the phone with us now.
[00:05:52]  Not expecting a call.
[00:05:56]  Wilfred.
[00:05:59]  Hello? Hello? Hello?
[00:06:05]  Hello, yes.
[00:06:06]  Wilfred?
[00:06:07]  I'd like to speak on the radio, please.
[00:06:10]  You're on the radio.
[00:06:11]  I would like to talk to the host of the program.
[00:06:15]  That's me, Wilfred.
[00:06:17]  You're on.
[00:06:18]  Go ahead.
[00:06:19]  My name is Wilfred.
[00:06:20]  The host's name is also Wilfred?
[00:06:23]  No, this is Glenn Beck.
[00:06:25]  You called into the show.
[00:06:26]  You're with the Biden campaign.
[00:06:30]  Hello, my name is Wilfred.
[00:06:32]  I'm calling from Sun City, Florida.
[00:06:35]  Yes.
[00:06:35]  And I am the youth outreach director for the Biden campaign.
[00:06:40]  22.
[00:06:40]  Youth Outreach.
[00:06:43]  Yes, okay.
[00:06:44]  And I wanted to get a message to your audience.
[00:06:47]  If I may.
[00:06:48]  Yes, go ahead.
[00:06:49]  Yes, go ahead, please.
[00:06:53]  It's not the coronavirus.
[00:06:56]  Have you heard of it?
[00:06:58]  Do you know what?
[00:06:58]  I've heard.
[00:06:59]  Yes, we all know it.
[00:07:01]  The coronavirus is being talked about as if it only affects elderly people.
[00:07:08]  And I want your audience to know that it also can affect young people like you and I.
[00:07:14]  And even youngsters like Joe Biden can be affected by this.
[00:07:20]  Joe was we have decided as a campaign to protect Joe Biden from coronavirus.
[00:07:30]  And we will be putting him in a lockdown.
[00:07:35]  There's a shed behind his home.
[00:07:37]  And he will be in a shed behind his home until November.
[00:07:43]  Wait a minute.
[00:07:44]  He's already in his house.
[00:07:46]  I mean, you just wired his house for television, and he's doing these group meetings online now.
[00:07:53]  Well, we've looked at the research scientifically and discovered a worry that is not being talked about that coronavirus may pass through cameras.
[00:08:09]  I don't think any of that's true.
[00:08:11]  Well, we want to be very careful, so we are not going to have Joe do any interviews or speeches or appearances of any kind until November.
[00:08:22]  Right.
[00:08:23]  November eventually.
[00:08:24]  And that's because you're afraid mid-November, the election will be over by mid-November.
[00:08:33]  Well, he's planning to vote by mail.
[00:08:36]  Right.
[00:08:38]  I mean, nobody will see him.
[00:08:40]  He won't have a chance to talk to the American people.
[00:08:42]  Well, safety first, of course.
[00:08:45]  He would like to tell you about the plan he's putting together for Coronavirus.
[00:08:52]  Do you know?
[00:08:52]  Have you heard of the corona?
[00:08:55]  I've heard about that.
[00:08:56]  Yes, but what is his plan?
[00:08:57]  Do you have it there?
[00:08:58]  Step one, stay home and keep the economy going.
[00:09:03]  Step two, meet online only, but make sure to wash your hands before typing.
[00:09:12]  Step three.
[00:09:14]  Only talk to people who are on your lap.
[00:09:21]  What was that?
[00:09:22]  What was that last one again?
[00:09:28]  Are you there?
[00:09:29]  Oh, yes.
[00:09:29]  Only talk to people who are on your lap.
[00:09:34]  Really?
[00:09:35]  Okay, why is that?
[00:09:37]  On the top of your lap, I think.
[00:09:40]  Top of your lap.
[00:09:40]  Top of your lap.
[00:09:41]  Yes, talk to them.
[00:09:42]  All right.
[00:09:43]  If you do these things, Joe Biden will be giving out iPod shuffles to all people who volunteer.
[00:09:54]  And I know that you have an audience who may lean a little to the right side of maybe not so friendly to some of the policies of Joe.
[00:10:08]  However, he wants to address that with his Second Amendment plan.
[00:10:14]  And what's his Second Amendment plan?
[00:10:15]  Everyone is allowed one blunderbuss.
[00:10:22]  That's all you need.
[00:10:23]  If someone's coming into your house, you just walk out on your porch and you fire your blunderbuss into the sky.
[00:10:30]  Right.
[00:10:31]  And then everyone will know that they're not allowed to come over while you're dead's in the June bug.
[00:10:37]  All right.
[00:10:38]  Thank you very much, Wilfred.
[00:10:39]  That's the Joe Biden guarantee.
[00:10:46]  You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program is the Glenn Beck program.
[00:11:11]  Welcome to it.
[00:11:12]  Pat Gray is here.
[00:11:13]  We were just talking off air about, you know, the end of the world, end times.
[00:11:17]  Jesus coming.
[00:11:19]  And I don't think this is the time that Jesus comes.
[00:11:24]  But who am I to say?
[00:11:25]  I have no idea.
[00:11:27]  I will tell you that I just got news from Israel that bats were falling out of the sky dead yesterday.
[00:11:37]  And people are saying that's a sign of the end times.
[00:11:41]  Were people making sandwiches out of them?
[00:11:44]  No, they weren't.
[00:11:45]  No, that's in China.
[00:11:47]  No.
[00:11:48]  Nobody was cooking them up in a nice soup, but they have no idea why these bats are falling out of the sky.
[00:11:55]  And they're saying, well, that's part of prophecy because it's just, you know, Lord's going to take care of all the birds and stuff in the sky and they're just going to go away.
[00:12:03]  Okay.
[00:12:04]  I didn't know that one.
[00:12:05]  I'm unfamiliar with that prophecy.
[00:12:07]  I'm not sure of that one either, but I'm pretty sure that I never read anything about bats being dead either.
[00:12:14]  So welcome to the program, Pat.
[00:12:18]  Your thoughts on 3.28 million unemployment.
[00:12:22]  I mean, that's just catastrophic.
[00:12:25]  I hope this bill mitigates that in the future.
[00:12:31]  It can't help but, right?
[00:12:33]  I mean, and when you have, when you have every single Republican who is there to vote voting for it, you know, either everybody's just caved and tossed their principles aside or they believe that this is the only way to save America.
[00:12:49]  I think they caved.
[00:12:52]  Really?
[00:12:53]  So it's not new.
[00:12:53]  I mean, I think that's a good thing.
[00:12:55]  I think they right.
[00:12:56]  I think that they may have said, you know, this is as good as we're going to get.
[00:13:03]  So we might as well.
[00:13:06]  You know, but I don't think that they all believe that, yes, every bit of this is fantastic.
[00:13:13]  And I think it is such an overreach to where I don't, I mean, I love your idea of doing a moratorium for three months on mortgages.
[00:13:28]  That would help immensely.
[00:13:29]  And so would every state agreeing to forego property tax for three months.
[00:13:34]  You know, just give people relief on that end where they don't have to have so much out going and they can keep more of their money.
[00:13:42]  Isn't that the conservative way?
[00:13:44]  That's the Republican way to do it.
[00:13:46]  Well, but they didn't do that.
[00:13:47]  But they didn't do that.
[00:13:48]  No.
[00:13:49]  Yeah.
[00:13:49]  I mean, if you just take the mortgage, mortgage and rent is your biggest concern for most people.
[00:13:57]  That's the biggest concern.
[00:13:58]  And if you just said, look, if you have mortgage or rent, stop for three months.
[00:14:04]  That'd be great.
[00:14:05]  And I love your idea also of no property tax.
[00:14:10]  So take those both away for three months and then couple that with an ask.
[00:14:17]  Please give some of that money to others that are in need.
[00:14:23]  Because that's how our grandparents, right?
[00:14:25]  That's where our grandparents excelled.
[00:14:27]  And we're not used to that.
[00:14:29]  We just, we're used to getting money and then not giving it away.
[00:14:34]  We need to see the needs in others.
[00:14:38]  And if we have the ability to do it right now, everybody's clenched so tight because they don't know what this means yet.
[00:14:46]  And they're clenched so tight.
[00:14:48]  They're like, I don't know.
[00:14:50]  Can I give that money away right now?
[00:14:53]  I don't know.
[00:14:55]  And none of us do.
[00:14:58]  But we have to have faith in God that we will make it.
[00:15:02]  We'll make it.
[00:15:03]  The way you think this works, obviously the banks are depending on money and mortgage companies.
[00:15:08]  Are they going to get some of these trillions of dollars that are already in this bill?
[00:15:11]  Is that kind of the vision there?
[00:15:13]  And they're getting $4 trillion as it is.
[00:15:15]  Yeah.
[00:15:16]  And it would stabilize because right now they're looking and doing calculations on who's going to default.
[00:15:24]  And so it makes it even scarier for them.
[00:15:27]  Who's going to default?
[00:15:28]  Who's going to not be able to pay their mortgage in three months?
[00:15:32]  Are these AAA bonds that we've been repackaging and selling these mortgages?
[00:15:40]  Are they going to default?
[00:15:42]  A moratorium on all defaulting, a moratorium on absolutely everything for three months.
[00:15:48]  That would help them.
[00:15:49]  It would help us.
[00:15:50]  And yeah, I mean, what are they, they're missing out paying each other.
[00:15:55]  Well, the Fed is paying them.
[00:15:58]  What about the landlord level?
[00:16:00]  I would think that actually would be an impact you'd probably have to address.
[00:16:03]  I mean, if you're renting out, if you have an apartment complex and everyone starts paying the zero a month for three.
[00:16:07]  No, that's what I mean by, look, if you own it outright, maybe you get a portion of, you know, you get a quarter of your value of a monthly payment or something.
[00:16:18]  I don't know.
[00:16:19]  Yeah, some of them.
[00:16:19]  But most people do not own that property outright.
[00:16:23]  So they have a more, the landlord would have to have a moratorium.
[00:16:27]  The only way he could do it is if he didn't have to collect all the rents to pay his mortgage.
[00:16:36]  So anyone who had any kind of mortgage, business, cheesecake factory, a home, any kind of mortgage.
[00:16:45]  Business and home were a category and you gave an entire category to Cheesecake Factory.
[00:16:50]  I did.
[00:16:50]  I think it deserves its own category.
[00:16:53]  Have you seen its menu?
[00:16:55]  It's in a category in and of itself.
[00:16:58]  So I just think that business and homeownership and apartment complexes, they shouldn't have to meet that monthly nut for three months.
[00:17:12]  Then they could give people and say, look, pay $100 a month or pay nothing a month, whatever it is, but get rid of it for three months.
[00:17:25]  And the government is attaching certain provisions on receiving the money with the businesses.
[00:17:30]  Like they're saying, if we give you this money, you can't fire your employees after we do.
[00:17:36]  You could also do that with the banks.
[00:17:37]  We're going to give you this money.
[00:17:38]  We're going to bail you out, but we want you to put a moratorium on mortgages for three months.
[00:17:44]  And it would also be easy for the states to put the moratorium on the property taxes for three months.
[00:17:50]  You can do all of that.
[00:17:51]  So here's the thing.
[00:17:54]  The banks aren't being bailed out directly this time because that started the Tea Party.
[00:17:59]  So the Fed is just doing it.
[00:18:01]  And so the Fed is the bank.
[00:18:04]  So the Fed's just printing money and giving it to themselves.
[00:18:08]  That's what's happening there.
[00:18:10]  So there are no strings attached on that.
[00:18:15]  We just have to pressure Congress and pressure our state governors.
[00:18:21]  You should be calling your governor now because Gavin Newsom just got this in California.
[00:18:27]  And I think this should happen in every state in the union.
[00:18:30]  So call your governor and say, put the banks on notice.
[00:18:35]  You need a three-month moratorium on all mortgages, business and home mortgages.
[00:18:45]  That's not necessarily a business loan.
[00:18:47]  It's just the place of business.
[00:18:50]  You don't have to pay for the place of business because that's everybody's biggest expense.
[00:18:55]  Also, how do you feel about what's happening to the Constitution right now?
[00:19:04]  What's happening with that?
[00:19:06]  Nobody's paying attention to it.
[00:19:08]  Why did at all?
[00:19:09]  Is the National Archives closing?
[00:19:12]  Because I've seen it up there.
[00:19:13]  It's on display.
[00:19:14]  I'm not talking so much about the actual physical document, but what it says in the document.
[00:19:21]  You know, like forget that.
[00:19:24]  Like, you can't turn people's water off and their electricity off if they disobey you and your order for them to shut down their business.
[00:19:31]  Like in Virginia with Governor Northam, Governor Blackface, making it a crime to assemble something that is literally addressed directly in the U.S. Constitution, but you have to dig in quite a ways to the very first amendment.
[00:19:48]  First one to find it.
[00:19:50]  So it's a little difficult.
[00:19:51]  It's deep.
[00:19:52]  It's on page one, first paragraph.
[00:19:54]  But not a lot of people dig that far into the conversation.
[00:19:58]  It's not in the headline, okay?
[00:20:00]  And that's as far as we go.
[00:20:03]  So here's the thing, Pat.
[00:20:05]  Actually, if you watched my special last night, the states have extraordinary power as long as they're doing it to everyone.
[00:20:14]  That's the key here.
[00:20:16]  And what the real problem is, is the states are trying to kick it up to the federal government.

=== States Shifting Federal Bailout Costs (14:59) ===

[00:20:20]  They don't want to take this responsibility, and they don't want to pay for it.
[00:20:25]  So when you saw that who was it?
[00:20:27]  Oh, state of Texas today, the president just issued the order for the National Guard.
[00:20:34]  Well, why didn't the governor do that?
[00:20:37]  Because if the governors issue a call for the National Guard, then they have to pay for it.
[00:20:45]  But if the president orders the National Guard, then the federal government pays for it.
[00:20:52]  You do not want to set the precedence that the National Guard is under the direction of the president.
[00:20:59]  The National Guard must be under the governors.
[00:21:05]  You might have a bad governor, but we can all escape from that state.
[00:21:11]  And then you also have the federal government that can remove that bad governor.
[00:21:15]  But if you have the military operating in the United States and it's all under the control of the president, and I'm not talking about this president, but I can't believe all these Democratic governors who said that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, was a fascist is now giving him the power over their state by moving the military under his direction into their state.
[00:21:42]  It's crazy.
[00:21:43]  I mean, you know, you obviously don't believe that he's a dictator when you are in that state giving him that much power.
[00:21:52]  And thank God, I don't think he is a dictator.
[00:21:55]  I don't think he'd become a dictator.
[00:21:56]  But you can't set this precedence.
[00:22:01]  And yet.
[00:22:01]  And do you hear anybody saying of it?
[00:22:03]  No, nobody's talking about it.
[00:22:04]  We're rolling over for all of it.
[00:22:07]  We're not even giving a thought to whether or not we should be doing this.
[00:22:11]  We're just in such a panic right now.
[00:22:13]  Nobody wants the disease.
[00:22:15]  We don't want it to spread.
[00:22:16]  So anything's proposed.
[00:22:17]  Okay.
[00:22:18]  Yep.
[00:22:18]  We'll comply.
[00:22:20]  We'll comply.
[00:22:21]  You know what?
[00:22:22]  Did you see the guy who probably, this is the study that probably had the president shut everything down.
[00:22:29]  This is the study that shot that England shut down over everybody else.
[00:22:35]  Have you heard about the Imperial College study in the UK?
[00:22:39]  Yeah, that's the big scary model that they've been doing.
[00:22:42]  That's the big one.
[00:22:43]  Yeah.
[00:22:44]  500,000 deaths in the UK.
[00:22:48]  Well, now the guy who did the study says, I think we might have enough ICU beds and it's probably only going to kill 20,000 in the UK.
[00:23:00]  That's fair.
[00:23:01]  And more than half of those, more than half of those, he said, would have died by the end of the year in any way, in any case, because they're sick and old.
[00:23:11]  So wait a minute.
[00:23:12]  Wait a minute.
[00:23:14]  You just said 500,000 people would die.
[00:23:17]  Now you're saying 20,000 by the end of the year and they probably would have died anyway.
[00:23:23]  And you've destroyed the global economy.
[00:23:27]  Well, but I think I was reading that too.
[00:23:29]  And as I was reading into his reasoning, his reasoning for his optimism seems to be the lockdown.
[00:23:37]  Yes.
[00:23:38]  Really?
[00:23:39]  Really?
[00:23:39]  Because the lockdown was in place.
[00:23:41]  He said the numbers are so encouraging with the lockdown.
[00:23:44]  The lockdown in the UK had been going on for two solid days.
[00:23:49]  That's right.
[00:23:50]  The official one, but they were doing the encouraged social distancing and all of that before.
[00:23:56]  Social distancing, we were doing social distancing.
[00:23:58]  There's nothing wrong with social distancing.
[00:24:00]  We're talking about the shutting down of economies.
[00:24:06]  The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:24:14]  Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:24:17]  If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
[00:24:22]  It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
[00:24:26]  So I know this is a dumb question, but Stu, I'd like you to help me out on some of these things, okay?
[00:24:30]  Going over the bailout, I've had a few things.
[00:24:35]  The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Operations and Maintenance for an additional amount for operations and maintenance of $25 million to remain available until September 30th,
[00:24:51]  2021 to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus domestically or internationally, including funding for deep cleaning and information technology to improve telework capability and for operations and maintenance requires related to the consequence of coronavirus.
[00:25:09]  What exactly does the John F. Kennedy Center need to do besides get a bunch of mothballs and roll them down the aisle and then vacuum them back up when they can open the doors?
[00:25:22]  Well, $25 million?
[00:25:24]  In times of a pandemic, Glenn, you want to make sure you pour money into facilities where people get together to sit really close to each other and watch a show.
[00:25:32]  Unbelievable.
[00:25:33]  Great idea.
[00:25:34]  Unbelievable.
[00:25:35]  I think we can do deep cleaning there for less than $25 million.
[00:25:38]  And notice, and this is a key word, notice it says to prepare for and respond to coronavirus domestically or internationally.
[00:25:51]  What?
[00:25:52]  Well, if they move the other to Madagascar at any point or Ukraine.
[00:25:58]  It could be a huge issue.
[00:26:02]  All right.
[00:26:02]  I don't think we should be, you know, $25 million to, you know, the Kennedy Center.
[00:26:08]  I mean, how much does it take to turn off the lights and then come back later?
[00:26:14]  Why are we paying performers and artists for not performing?
[00:26:19]  I mean, get the unemployment that the plumber gets.
[00:26:24]  The National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities, five National Endowment for the Arts, six grants and administration.
[00:26:32]  For the additional amount, now $25 million to turn out the lights of the Kennedy Center.
[00:26:39]  This is an additional amount for grants and administration.
[00:26:46]  $75 million to remain available until September 30th, 2021 to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus domestically or internationally to be distributed in grants.
[00:27:01]  Oh, okay.
[00:27:02]  So, wow.
[00:27:05]  So, $75 million to pay artists.
[00:27:10]  Okay.
[00:27:12]  Who's getting these grants?
[00:27:14]  And I'm an artist.
[00:27:15]  Can I get one?
[00:27:17]  I'm guessing the answer is negatory, Chief.
[00:27:20]  Negatory.
[00:27:23]  Howard University for an additional amount for Howard University of $13 million to prepare to respond to domestically, internationally, help defray the expenses directly caused by coronavirus and enable grants to students for expenses directly related to coronavirus for the disruption of university operations.
[00:27:44]  What, what, what?
[00:27:45]  I mean, how expensive are the books now?
[00:27:47]  $13 million to cover the disruptions.
[00:27:52]  $13 million?
[00:27:54]  I mean, can I just tell you, in this bill, schools are getting an awful lot of money.
[00:27:59]  And with all due respect for the amount of fleecing that these universities have done, I think, clean up your own mess.
[00:28:09]  But that's just me.
[00:28:11]  How are they different than the plumber right down the road?
[00:28:16]  How come Beacon Plumbing is not getting millions of dollars?
[00:28:19]  I mean, keeping my crapper clean and flushing with all this toilet paper that I now have.
[00:28:26]  I mean, that seems to be more critical to me than, you know, giving grants to students for the disruption of university operations.
[00:28:35]  I don't even know what that means.
[00:28:38]  Also, notice all of these, domestic or international.
[00:28:44]  That phrase is mentioned 115 times in the document.
[00:28:50]  Why does Howard need to spend money outside the U.S.?
[00:28:52]  How much money exactly is going to be leaving the U.S.?
[00:28:56]  Because I thought we were bailing out the United States.
[00:29:01]  Source of funds used for payments of salaries and expenses of Tiny Findings Child Development Center.
[00:29:08]  The government accountability office may reimburse the tiny findings child development center for salaries for employees incurred from April 1st to September 30th, 2020 for employees of such center who have been ordered to cease working due to measures taken in the Capitol complex to combat coronavirus not to exceed $100,000 a month.
[00:29:29]  So this is the tiny little findings child development center that's in the capital.
[00:29:32]  So they took care of theirs.
[00:29:34]  But what about all the little Chinese findings development centers that are around the country?
[00:29:42]  I was just with the bank president of my local bank just, what, a day ago, two days ago, and we were talking, he runs a small business on top of that one.
[00:29:53]  He runs a daycare.
[00:29:55]  He and his daughter run a daycare.
[00:29:57]  I said, how's that going?
[00:29:58]  He said, not well.
[00:29:59]  I don't know how we're going to keep those doors open.
[00:30:03]  Well, okay, well, how come he doesn't get any help?
[00:30:07]  See, this is the kind of stuff that drives people nuts.
[00:30:13]  This is the kind of stuff that gives, that creates the Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street.
[00:30:18]  It does.
[00:30:19]  Now they're giving to a private nonprofit.
[00:30:22]  Well, how come Mercury won?
[00:30:23]  We do a lot of good.
[00:30:24]  How come we're not on that?
[00:30:26]  How do you even get in line on that?
[00:30:27]  You don't.
[00:30:30]  Extension of sexual risk avoidance education program.
[00:30:35]  $48,287,671 for the period beginning October 1st, October 1st, 2019, and ending May 22nd, May 22nd of 2020.
[00:30:51]  Excuse me.
[00:30:51]  Okay, wait.
[00:30:52]  For the period beginning October 1st, 16, 2019, that's in the past, and ending May 22nd, and they need $50 million.
[00:31:01]  I mean, I'm sure they're doing great work.
[00:31:03]  No, I mean that sincerely.
[00:31:05]  But $50 million spent on telling people to self-regulate sexual risk?
[00:31:10]  Wouldn't, you know, hey, everybody stay in shelter in place.
[00:31:16]  Shouldn't that stop all risky behavior?
[00:31:19]  I mean, you're only having sex with the people that you're trapped with.
[00:31:22]  And that kind of sorting that out?
[00:31:24]  I give that one to you for free, United States government.
[00:31:30]  Federal work study during qualifying emergency in general.
[00:31:35]  In the event of a qualifying emergency, an institution of higher education participating in the program under Part C of Title IV of the Higher Education Act, if they affected work study students for the period of time not to exceed one academic year in which affected students are unable to fulfill the student's work study obligation for all or part of such academic year.
[00:31:58]  Doing to such qualifying emergencies as follows, payments may be made, blah blah, blah.
[00:32:02]  So wait, students who work will get full-time paychecks for not working.
[00:32:11]  When did we start giving students a pension?
[00:32:15]  Do plumbers get that?
[00:32:18]  Section 3510, continuing education at affected foreign institutions.
[00:32:24]  Oh, it'd be nice if we had more information on this uh section, more detail on exactly how they're going to pay, who they're going to pay for what, how much.
[00:32:32]  But nope, that's all it was.
[00:32:33]  Section 3510, continuing education at affected foreign institutions.
[00:32:37]  Don't know what that is.
[00:32:39]  Don't know how much they get.
[00:32:40]  Don't know where that money's going.
[00:32:43]  Temporary relief for student loan borrowers.
[00:32:46]  The secretary shall suspend all payments due for loans made under part d and part b uh held by the Department OF Education.
[00:32:54]  Blah blah, blah suit through september 30th 2020.
[00:32:57]  Consideration of payments, notwithstanding any other provision, the Higher Education blah blah, blah secretary shall deem each month for which the loan payment was suspended under the section, as if the borrower of the loan had made the payments for the purpose of any loan forgiveness program.
[00:33:12]  Wait, hold it.
[00:33:14]  What?
[00:33:16]  Yeah, you heard that right.
[00:33:17]  They're not just putting a hold on student loans.
[00:33:21]  As long as the student claims this is an emergency, we're going to count each month as if we paid the loan for them.
[00:33:32]  Uh, wait a minute, excuse me, what I just?
[00:33:36]  I just, last hour outlined what you should be doing, and that is you should be calling your governor right now and telling the governor to put pressure on the banks to just put a moratorium on your mortgage for three months.
[00:33:52]  That's business mortgages that's, you know, your your mortgage payment.
[00:33:58]  If you have any kind of mortgage payment, that should be suspended for three months because we can use that money to a.
[00:34:05]  Take the pressure off of families and they don't lose their homes.
[00:34:08]  Take the pressure off of businesses.
[00:34:10]  Yeah, Cheesecake Factory said they can't meet their mortgage payment.
[00:34:13]  They may have to close.
[00:34:14]  Don't let that happen.
[00:34:15]  America, everyone could take that burden off their shoulders, but I didn't ask that the government makes those payments.
[00:34:26]  The government is counting from now until September, as they're making all of the payments for the student loans.
[00:34:34]  Oh my gosh, I can't do it.
[00:34:38]  I can't do it.
[00:34:41]  Inclusion of certain over-the-counter medicines qualified as medical expenses.
[00:34:46]  Guess what, Stu?
[00:34:47]  Guess what?
[00:34:48]  What?
[00:34:48]  Guess what?
[00:34:49]  Guess what we're paying for?
[00:34:50]  Guess what we're paying for?
[00:34:52]  You know what?
[00:34:53]  Yeah.
[00:34:54]  Tampons, pads, liners, cups, sponge.
[00:34:58]  We're doing it all.
[00:34:59]  Good.
[00:35:00]  I was hoping that would happen.
[00:35:01]  Finally.
[00:35:02]  How many times have we developed it?
[00:35:05]  I know.
[00:35:05]  I've always thought, you know, we should be paying for tampons and genital tract secretions.
[00:35:12]  And so we're doing it.
[00:35:13]  So that's really good.
[00:35:15]  Temporary government in the Sunshine Act relief.

=== Paying for Tampons and Sunshine Act Relief (00:45) ===

[00:35:19]  If the chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System determines in writing that unusual and extreme circumstances exist, the board may conduct meetings without regard to the requirements of Section 552B of Title 5, United States Code, during the period beginning blah, Now, that's great.
[00:35:40]  Sounds wonderful.
[00:35:41]  Except I don't know what U.S. Code Title V, Section 552B says.
[00:35:45]  No big deal.
[00:35:47]  I mean, I looked it up.
[00:35:49]  It's just a mandate that all meetings have to be open to the public observation.
[00:35:54]  So, you know, we would have some idea of what's going on.
[00:35:57]  But they don't have to do that now.
[00:35:59]  They don't have to be open to the public.
[00:36:01]  U.S. Code 552B, open meetings.
