=== Gut-Wrenching Scenes (06:14) ===

[00:00:00]  There are a lot of questions.
[00:00:03]  Nobody knows for sure.
[00:00:06]  But we acted like we did know for sure.
[00:00:11]  Two million would die if we didn't destroy the economy and a lot of personal lives.
[00:00:20]  You see, I don't know why you can't be torn by both.
[00:00:29]  Every one of us who believes that we might, who asks questions, we acknowledge the tragedy of Italy or New York.
[00:00:44]  I mean, the scenes are gut-wrenching.
[00:00:49]  Heart-rending, gut-wrenching, in case you want to know the correct phrase.
[00:00:57]  That's true.
[00:00:58]  At the same time, it is gut-wrenching and heart-wrenching what is happening to people.
[00:01:08]  That's also true.
[00:01:15]  What this is doing.
[00:01:18]  See, we will never know the number of people who died as a result of the isolation.
[00:01:30]  Right?
[00:01:31]  We will never know.
[00:01:33]  Or how many years off people's lives that it took.
[00:01:37]  How many more opioid addiction.
[00:01:40]  How much more alcohol addiction.
[00:01:44]  How much heart failure because of anxiety and loneliness.
[00:01:50]  I don't know if we'll have those figures.
[00:01:52]  We have the figures of everyone who has died from this.
[00:01:58]  Do you know anyone who has, do you know personally, like even a cousin of a friend or something, do you know anyone who's died?
[00:02:04]  Because my son does.
[00:02:06]  My son in Florida told me three people that he knew of.
[00:02:10]  It really, I mean, obviously that hits home.
[00:02:12]  I want you to know, you know, I'm not remote in that way.
[00:02:17]  I'm not remote in any way.
[00:02:23]  I'm also troubled by the $2 trillion.
[00:02:27]  What if the dollar isn't worth paper?
[00:02:31]  Just the beginning.
[00:02:32]  We're a long way from the end of that.
[00:02:34]  We're a long way from the end of that, too, you're saying?
[00:02:37]  Oh, yeah.
[00:02:37]  Two trillion.
[00:02:38]  Yeah.
[00:02:38]  Two trillion.
[00:02:39]  We're not going to end at two trillion.
[00:02:41]  You know, what does it do?
[00:02:43]  It automatically diminishes everyone's savings.
[00:02:46]  If everything were the same, the hard-earned dollar is not a hard-earned dollar anymore.
[00:02:56]  And who owns a lot of those trillions?
[00:02:58]  Doesn't China?
[00:03:01]  China wishes us ill.
[00:03:07]  The Greens may get their dream because the American oil companies are being hit terribly with imports of cheaper Saudi.
[00:03:17]  It's funny that the Saudis would want to hurt the U.S. in this.
[00:03:20]  They've been allies of the U.S. Do you have any thoughts on that?
[00:03:28]  Can we get Andy Puzder?
[00:03:30]  I'd like to talk to him about the economy of all of this.
[00:03:35]  Meanwhile, you folks have to take care of yourselves.
[00:03:38]  For some reason, the people who run this building where our radio studio have not turned on the air conditioning.
[00:03:48]  So that truly may force me to broadcast from home.
[00:03:54]  It's a sauna-like condition here.
[00:03:59]  Maybe they don't want to pay the upkeep of the building because there are so few tenants that are using the building now.
[00:04:07]  I am blessed in my situation, I admit it.
[00:04:18]  I will be, by the way.
[00:04:19]  I think...
[00:04:22]  As truly as a service, I will be conducting a Passover Seder next week.
[00:04:33]  Virtual, yes, virtual.
[00:04:36]  It'll just be me and you.
[00:04:37]  It's me and you, the viewer.
[00:04:42]  Explain, go through some of the prayers, explain the rituals, explain the exodus, explain the Haggadah.
[00:04:51]  So, send me an email, just as people have done for the services that I have put on the internet.
[00:05:04]  A lot of people have asked that I do it, and my aunt, who is an Orthodox Jew, they don't use electricity on the Holy Days or the Sabbath, but she will be tuning in.
[00:05:21]  She needs that on that night.
[00:05:27]  It's, to say the least, it is a disruptive experience.
[00:05:33]  And that is saying the least.
[00:05:38]  Well, what's with you, my friends?
[00:05:40]  I like talking to you during this time.
[00:05:45]  Which is today is April 1st, so we have another 29 days another four weeks of this Maybe you say Well, they will be voices no matter what the numbers I mean unless the number is zero or very close to zero if they will be voices to continue it Alright, my friends.

=== 35 Years Of Music (00:25) ===

[00:06:17]  This is the situation, and I am going to make good on my musical idea to play for you something beautiful and talk to you a little about it.
[00:06:35]  I've been wanting to do this for 35 years.
[00:06:38]  The circumstances allow for it today.
