Newsflash cofounder boycott the best and sanctions movement against Israel says it will not apply to vaccine from Israel live from Washington DC Jay Sekulow phone lines are open for your questions right now called 1-800-684-3110 one 800-6841 10 ML chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice Jay Sekulow okay talk about Marty. I want to start this broadcast all because I would say something I've said it before Merced again boycott the best and sanctions movement against the state of Israel is an illegitimate social protest and now they just prove that there are no legitimate social protest movement.

How do they prove they were in a legitimate social protest movement, the cofounder of the anti-Israel boycott Tibetan sanction movement, which urges complete boycotts of Israeli products encourage the movement supporters to seek out one Israel made product that they'll phase okay if it materializes in the Israelis which they are working on this come up with a vaccine to inoculate against the coronavirus, the BDS movement will not apply. In other words, those that support the BDS social justice in Palestine you could go ahead and save your life with an Israeli product just don't buy their fruit you tell me about what this movement really about what were little pandemic and Jordan, doesn't it just makes sense that that's exactly what they do Christmas that it's a beginning their fraud. Of course it's a fraudulent organization. It's a political movement to try and undermine the state of Israel. The Jewish state of Israel.

At the same time. When it comes down to their own lives are they are they worth are they willing to risk that absolutely not, they're not willing to risk their own lives.

If there is a potential vaccine created by the apartheid state of Israel. I mean, they compare the Jewish state to a Nazi like system of control apartheid system like South Africa. And yet if you truly believe that you wouldn't take their medicine you would take the vaccines you buy into some of the conspiracy theories they were to poison you right but see they know deep down, the Israelis aren't those kind of people they would never vaccinate people and do so in a harmful way in a knowingly harmful way intentionally to hurt other people, even those who are their enemies. So because they know the goodness of the hearts of the Israeli people and the doctors there the medical care there, just like kind of how it similar to here in the United States that we take care of the enemies when they are found on the battlefield.

They understand the same process works with Israelis. Of course this boycott, divest and sanction everything except for that vaccine can help us, we can continue our campaign to delegitimize Israel. We can go ahead and get the facts that Israeli vaccine cooperating with Israel against the viruses. The court to begin with we didn't consider it and don't consider it normalization said the cofounder of the BDS movement. We don't consider that normalization, then you deal with the BDS movement for us at the UN on a regular basis and this shows the hypocrisy of what a fraud. They are yet to have any tolerance for this Jamie like they consistently say that they want to wipe Israel off the map, eradicate the Jewish people looking for the using the day that they have to make sure that they wait long enough to get their lifesaving vaccine from the innovated people before they wipe them off the map of the J. I really do think Jordan made the right point here, despite the fact that that is what is consistently coming out of the BDS movement, Israel once again rises to the occasion and if this breakthrough happens J northern India to make it widely available to anyone, friend or foe right.

But while they do it. It's our job to call out BDS for what it is. The BDS movement event should be very glad to please really do come up with a day solution to this better be very glad that the Israelis don't have a BDP movement boycott they best Palestinians. That's the state summit, the individual people, but that's what would be and when I can sell anything to the Palestinian so we come up with a vaccine were not consulted the Palestinians, they would never do that. That shows you the outrage of what it is.

Our particular calls on this on beating on the course of its missile development with the BDS in the Israel and how it relates to the coronavirus and take your questions on the stimulus of the political questions as well.

Every dollar makes a difference stand with the ACLJ today support our work online and sealed as breaking news the media's cofounder says if Israel comes up with the vaccine on the coronavirus will not consider that something you have to boycott will give an exemption that does not mean were normalizing relations with Israel, but we will take the vaccine that they have worked that medication to pico. The coronavirus or cancer, for that matter. They said shows you the department and point out the hypocrisy of this moment for a long time. It just shows you the nature of it and and Jordan. This I think points to what the problem is with these movements, especially memory into the coronavirus as you obviously but this shows you the hypocrisy when dealing with BDS for a decade now. Yeah that's right. I mean, remember, part of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement as they boycott Israeli universities, including the Israeli research universities that would have the laboratories that would be working on these vaccines so they boycott that and they encourage their professors not to work with the professors from Israel not to.to do joint programs with those Israeli institutes and Israeli universities and research centers so they encourage the boycott.

There even the divestment so by the way, the people who invest in those labs. Some of the major companies they want those to be. They want those to be again to divest from them to note no longer invest in them and yet they are acknowledging. These are the labs that could likely have the first vaccine available for the people around the world against covert, 19, and so they have changed their policy to say that even though they want to boycott those institutions and divest any kind of investment from the same laboratories that are creating this vaccine that if those laboratories do create a vaccine. They will utilize and to me like you said that it doesn't just show you how absurd this movement is it shows it's it's pulled how political it is in nature and self-serving true if they were truly believed that Israel was this horrible state of apartheid like policies and Nazi like kind of policies and that they say that's what they say in the propaganda if they truly believed it wouldn't take their vaccine because you'd be standing on a higher you think you'd be standing on a higher moral ground by denying that. Instead, what is this group do they make exceptions that would these groups start making exceptions. I think it pokes a huge hole in their entire argument. So for me this actually could be the end of BDS because it shows how absurd their movement is on the go ahead and take calls and is 800 684 $0.31 watching a Facebook encourages share with your friends with somebody. Opposable take a Jim Scully from Oklahoma line to go ahead on their yellow eye and your great hatred I would combat veteran asked.

I appreciate that you are right you get the right effectively dialogue. You begin with in the chart of the media does not involve the applicant the legitimate way that it had that apartheid at the dated date Gentile and so it is not charter of the BDS movement simply charted her statement of organizational purpose, says that Jerusalem could not be the capital of the Jewish state that it not only is the capital IMAP Jim, I appreciate your service, we can agree to disagree but don't you find it hypocritical. Let's let's get away from the abolishment of Israel. But don't you find it hypocritical that the BDS movement says do not buy products from Israel under any circumstance. That's what the boycott died – that's the boycott part divest is the economic part. Thanks exist and then put sanctions on top of it. Don't you find it ironic, don't you find it ironic Jim that if Israel comes up with vaccine may make an exception. Go ahead and Jim can't be selective and consistent that's inconsistent selective and inconsistent will take your products that help us.

We don't want your focus. We can get that anywhere. But your coronavirus if you get a vaccine will take that which by the way, I'm glad they would take it nobody which is dominated by I just think it's hypocrisy. I appreciate you calling and family think II think that most of the BDS partners all around the world do educate for wiping Israel off the map looking might say that one particular vein or how it's exercise on a college campus doesn't advocate for that the J we see this consistently in international bodies.

The same people that advocate for BDS and promoted on the ground then go to the floor, the UN, or go to the floor of the Security Council and advocate for the abolition of the Israeli state so to try to separate the one intent from the other while at the same time taking advantage of the innovation of the Israeli state, which by the way, is constantly done for the betterment of the world. J. I do not think that is intellectually consistent. The same people who advocate for BDS consistently go to these world bodies and advocate for Israel being wiped off the map.

Israeli academics are boycott as part of BDS moments.

I want to thicken the boycott the academic positions if they did come up with this with a virus and they would boycott them from coming to their conferences to speak out on to discuss how this was developed out should be administered. I just tells what a fraud. These agencies, the beast need that kind of movement is, and that's why lead with it today because it involves a coronavirus, but we been fighting the BDS movement for over a decade at the sales eight twice at the United Nations in federal court in Washington DC for the ACLJ again will just talk about these issues during we are fighting these issues.

Even right now while everybody's on remote everything we are still fighting these issues yes actually writing want to point this out now because this is a moment when the BDS movement and we had one of their supporters call in and say well it's selective consistency in you again. Note that kind of again trying to play with words like that is absurd and I think it it just it pokes the biggest hole yet in the entire boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, which is great gain grounds or college campuses and throughout Europe and in other places.

But if they were willing to take a vaccine from this evil horrible and is the colors is their right. Yet apartheid state and who are putting in these ethnic cleansing. He called he said that on the air.

You don't take vaccines from countries. They report that are carrying out ethnic cleansing, you know, for you know what exactly what he's doing.

Propaganda that you don't actually believe that you're putting out against it. What you consider to be an enemy of your political positions for the spread lies about them, but if that enemy happens to stumble upon the cure to what is ailing the world right now, you're happy to put that shot in your arm.

You trust that you trust that regime enough to put the shot in your arm to think they develop the same ones that you say you don't want your professors working with the same ones you say you don't want companies investing in those research labs, yet you put that needle in your arm to get that vaccine to me that that is it for boycott, divestment, sanctions, people should be jumping on this today from the movement that is been opposed to it and say look this is the absurdity completed earlier this if we are, what they tell us they are, they would never stick that needle in their arm with a vaccine.

We create.

They are a complete 100% fraud were taking your calls Lois is calling for more than life reloads looking broadcaster on their on working people. I'm retired just and receiving government annuity and also social security checks going to continue to come, they will and you will also be getting the you will also be getting stimulus you get both the paperwork that you probably have direct Bible guesstimates and securities direct deposited right in the be direct deposited checks.

Also, there's already movement for I'm going to fan on this really quickly here fan is Artie movement to increase that allotment as it relates to the payroll protection.

Yes, Sen. Rubio just tweeted this out that that Lena McConnell leader M. Schumer are working on agreement action have a voice vote United States Senate.

Jason not bringing everybody back, but a voice vote on Thursday that would add another $200-$250 billion that program. What that tells me J is there's a huge demand for people are applying for the money is starting to flow, and there can add to it as much as possible. Good news on that and also tells me. I think this is a really good sign.

It tells me that they employers are really trying to be creative and ways to keep their employees which, like I think right now it's a CEO, myself and and and our leadership team here at the ACLJ. Got a leisure back when one of our board members on in just a moment part of our job. A big part of her job right now is to keep doing your work, but try to maintain your employment base with employ a lot of people. And you gotta be creative.

You gotta be thinking out of the box, but that's in the government for especially pretty small businesses. I think they're offering a lot of help. Let's also say something to her ACLJ members and that you'll been incredibly generous to the American Center for Law and Justice, especially online maker John two things if you get our mailings and a lot of you do if you can give it online rather than the male is a lot easier is very difficult process mail right now.

Make a difference today support the work of the ACLJ online at ACLJ, every dollar makes a difference today online ACLJ obviously about the coronavirus were talk about the boycott the best in section movement that we thought so hard against not create an exception. It will take an Israeli vaccine or medications.

If those are effective in the fight against the coronavirus they will consider that not to be subject to a dead best and sanction orders that tells you a lot right there.

I thought it would be really helpful today to have on a good friend of ours was a member of our board sorrow, the drummer you've met him before you stay minor broadcasts, unite.check quite a bit and he has a great ministries are international ministries. I encourage you to check that out, but also he's got a great message of hope and I especially time like this. I thought it would be good to offer her permit will be prepared that this can be very intense week. Those in the come up via Skype is my understanding so bizarre. We got you there.

There I say you look like your idea and right by my shoulder.

Here is your you obviously normally you would be touring and traveling.

We played Lincoln Brewster a lot of other very famous acts as well. You got a great ministry. What are you telling people right now have hope. I mean, I put my trust in the Lord above all things that the world is an uncertain place. This virus is just proving its uncertainty.

The only thing that is certain is my trust and faith in God. In times like this is where you get a chance to develop faith as I feel like faith is a spiritual muscle that every single human being possesses.

We all have faith but we have to develop that muscle and it's it's in crisis times like this that we have an opportunity to develop that muscle.

We all love times of peace and prosperity. But the truth is we only grow under pressure and these are great times or we can choose to put our trust and faith in God and as long as I've been alive in this world. The only thing that I realize the most valuable commodity we can have on this planet is peace.

Peace.

Peace. Peace in our soul. And that's more viable than money, fame, power anything but the only way I don't have peace is to put my trust in something that's above me and I put my trust in Christ and that's where my peace comes from. Otherwise, there's plenty to be freaking out about in this world every single day, but I choose not to panic. I choose to pray instead of panic I choose to trust instead of doubt and get the focus off of myself and into serving others in times like this to bring in a caller and then Avinash Jordan plan to this ad is calling from New York.

We got sorrow on the up via Skype. Go ahead, I thank you for what you do make a couple comments the perfect opportunity for us as Christians to witness to our loved ones and neighbors and friends go on about comfort zone and tell people about the Lord and hand out tracks. I just think the Lord wants us to use this opportunity and I think we should all read second Chronicles 714. I we gotta get back to you that are newly just Christians and little pens are land you just wrote a book you just wrote a book my fame. His name is fame being the Lord to if you're talking about there and I think it ties into exactly what Sgt. said no question about a J couldn't agree more and look at the caller reference to concurrent Chronicles 714, the promise in that if we do humble ourselves in prayer to fold one that he's going to hear from us into that he's going to heal our land a J we certainly need that specifically right now and I we just I would just say this our foundation. Those of us who do have a faith in Jesus Christ is not been shaken during this time. These are very tumultuous times.

But if we look around us.

Certainly tons of people have fear a lot of people the things that they had put their trust and have been shaken. J those of us who have a faith that has not been shaken, our feet are still on firm ground. I could not agree with the caller more. This is an opportunity to provide that hope and to provide that eternal belief that can't be shaken by the thing around things around us to the people who are suffering, fear we gotta stand firm and that dragons are one of the things is, look there are a lot of people that are very on the opposite wall very concerning her concern for our loved ones. There's a sense of you can't do enough to help people. As far as physically because were trying to maintain physical distance, social separate which by the way, looks like it's can it produce a good result for our country as we continue to pray for that reducing the number of people. A lot of people are really sickening at the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and the I see you unit and St. Thomas Hospital in London, but there is this sense of hopelessness or maybe is not hopelessness. It's what can I do because I can't get out there and do it for the first thing I would tell anybody to do is instead of putting all your energy and effort into watching the news and freaking yourself out and getting panic stricken in hysteria is to spend time praying the most powerful thing that human beings have been given is the ability to pray for other people and that is a powerful thing. All through Scripture chose that prayer is what change the heart of God.

The other thing that I've learned just reading and studying the Bible is that God is not moved by need. He is moved by faith.

There is great need to spend in the world ever since. It's existed but were God moves this what he sees faith and how to develop faith, you have to read the word of God. So I would recommend everybody dust off your Bible. If you have one. If you don't have one, get one get one online begin to read it and as I feel like we become whatever we we do the most of the extent of our most time luring this organ become worrywart, but if you spend the majority of her time feeding your soul or spirit with positivity and it's it's at its attitude. I stay positive because I know that God is fully in control and the Bible says that the only thing that pleases God. There's only one thing that mankind can do to please God. And that's when we believe in him there's nothing else that we do that please assent except faith. This is the time to exercise that faith to put your trust in it. But how are you gonna do it unless you learn about that faith. Gotta read the Bible, you gotta study it, you got pray because we become whatever we watch, read or listen to the most spend that time with the Lord himself because he's interested in personally knowing us because he's a spirit and worse. So if you want to help people. The first thing to do is pray and interesting for people has no place.

Melanie play what Mike pence VP nine states said yesterday. I know I speak on behalf of every American's and grateful we are for each and in this very special holy week. I know millions of Americans are praying for healthcare workers saw a picture that I sent out last twitter is an article about a series of cities, where doctors and nurses had pasta pray for the patients and families that they were ministering to and I just want to say all those healthcare workers. I know there is of course if prayer going every day for all you and with your continued courageous service in Wisconsin will get through this through. Thank you sorrow, that's what you just said is exactly what Mike pence just said we should be praying for healthcare workers as well. I to be a top priority. Everybody and I want to read a couple scriptures you know more than anything in the Bible it says not to fear. That's one of the most reoccurring things throughout Scripture's is the Lord telling us not to fear and Isaiah 4110 it says so do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous hand, there you go, that that is exactly what Alonzo thinking to take them out to be with us today sorrow what's my sub website for people to get information such as Zorro, the drummer.com and Zorro ministries.org great organization.

Give a gift today online LJ live from Washington DC Jay Sekulow and chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice Jay Sekulow talk about the economic stimulus and the coronavirus might gotta start where I started the program 30 minutes ago the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against is really time to delegitimize the state of Israel.

Don't buy Israeli product that's the boycott part don't participate. That's the boycott part sanctions actually charge them money, divest, take your money out of the Israeli own companies don't buy their food products don't buy their medicines all wait no will make an exception, the cofounder of the BDS movement said will make an exception if the Israelis do come up with a vaccine against the coronavirus, you can take it. Talk about hypocrisy. Jordan unbelievable scale. There is first of all, if you believe the propaganda boycott, divestment and sanctions movement put out about Israel.

You would be if you actually believed it to be very nervous about taking this vaccine. Whether that's through a shot, whether that is through some kind of oral vaccine for this for coping 19 that Israel develops. The truth is, you would be worried about taking it because all that Jewish state when they be poisonous because they are part they are involved in ethnic cleansing. We heard that from a caller today who supports supports the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement so you would never, never, if you actually believe that propaganda put that needle in your arm or take that vaccine orally. So to me this is it for boycott, divestment, sanctions. This pandemic shows they aren't willing to actually stand by what they preach and what they preach is dangerous hatred of Israel and the Jewish people, which is violent in nature and leads to violence and by encouraging that by encouraging that again. They are dangerous movement supported by a lot of dangerous elements. By the way, but it at the same type. This is it. This is the biggest hole in their entire argument ever. You would never put a needle in your arm from a vaccine from an enemy from someone that you called ethnic cleanser if you really believe that was the goal for the state of Israel, that they were trying to cleanse these people.

Of course they're actually not trying to do that. So this is again to me just shows you how ridiculous boycott, divestment, sanctions is let me go ahead and take a Deborah line to Deborah will broadcast from their right. My permanent way that people who are in that way of life that they are in the evening. He did not there at course this is that we been fighting in federal court. We been fighting with the United Nations but this shows that this just shows what fraudulent movement is we will never buy Israeli products divest spirit from their economy sanctioning them. But if they come up with a cure for carbon 19 vaccine will make an exception in that case, take a look at this this callers is onto something here because the D in BDS Stanford investment. Now I just want to say this very clearly. People need to understand this if they are encouraging people to not invest in the Israeli companies that are making these breakthroughs even though they'll take the vaccine. J they are directly harming the potential that the world will get a breakthrough from Israel.

So look in order to actually do a complete about-face on this, even though it shows their hypocrisy.

J they not eating not only need to back off that they actually need to promote investment into the companies that are developing this breakthrough, otherwise the breakthrough matinee may never happen and they may never get a chance to exercise that hypocrisy by taking the vaccine actually need to be promoting investment at this stage not encouraging divestment. I would take your calls 164 3110 800-684-3110 neck of the phone lines open.

Also, Facebook and periscope share with your friends very important for you to do that get more people involved in the conversations a lot of traffic on Facebook and periscope these days little bit harder to breakthrough so we encourage you to share with your friends.

Maybe candidacy will see this week or next to try to lighten the mood up a little bit were no right to the phone so 800-684-3110 phone lines are jammed.

Let me go to Michelle she's calling from Georgia Michelle the ledger on their hi Michelle. Dark Michelle is not there so were to go to Mary Alice calling from California hi Mary Alice will all working on their parent contacted and they ate the claim as a dependent of the answers that would be no they would not get it if their claim is dependent upon their own tax return which means there working. What you need to talk about the attack for preparing the Artie file your 2019 return have the parents file their 2019 return because they may be made may be better off than job less than enjoy maybe. But I've not taken his dependence yeah I would definitely talk to your tax professional. Because you are claimed as different dependence you will not get the stimulus as an adult.

The parents would get it.

In that case J but look again because this is a 2020 tax credit. Even if you didn't get it immediately. If your tax advisor said this might be the time to shuffle your arrangement. You might get it in the end that's definitely situation you need to talk to Taxman about Jordan is also a lot of talk right now about extending a DMX policy statement McConnell say they need more money for the PPE.

The payroll protection aspect of it. What are you hearing what sort were hearing it this week. There's actually to be another $200-$250 billion. That would bring it up to almost the your time at $600 billion available for eight employee employers for small businesses to keep their focus on the payroll. So to me what's telling is that one the systems working which is pretty unbelievable. Actually, that the that that we got. As such, good leadership, people like Stephen Nguyen at the Treasury Department who come from the world of of kind of high finance if you will were able to put this together using a lot of outdated technology we know through IRS and so security systems and were able to get this put the pressure on the banks to get these loans going so that that means that the amount of loan applications going in its great news that this many individual businesses.

Small businesses are taking advantage of this loan to the point that in a bipartisan way.

Congress believes that more small businesses want to do this. That means they want to want to take on the loan that puts them at a position that says we will pay.

We will continue to pay our employees for this period of time. Four months is the initial one. And because we do that that will become a grant instead of the loan that we will have to pay back so it's they are also making kind of a in agreement with their employer employees. This is great if you work for a small business that is a great sign to me that the system is what is working our people so the applications are getting in and and what they're seeing is working anymore resources available here that the flipside of that means that they believe that this crisis could continue longer than initially thought, so that employees and employers are looking at not just a month down the road, but two and three months down the road and I think that that the one negative to it, but the positive is that even if they are looking down the road two or three more additional months that they are trying everything possible to keep their employees on the payroll with full pay with full benefits that that's very I think it's it's it's something that can be. It is bipartisan it is tainted that they're planning to do it on a voice vote to get those funds in which means they believe they're going to be able to get these initial funds, not just the applications and they're able to get the funds out to people and that's the important second part of this, we thought that that is with the personal check start going to people and when these applications start getting turned into actual loans when the money actually starts getting to the small business and that's key in these next two weeks because the small businesses are hurting really hurting right now all you have to do is drive down the road and see how much, how many of them are closed. No question. By the way yesterday, the Supreme Court issued an opinion in a case involving Wisconsin where they were going to allow you ready for this. The mailing ballots could be dated after the election, and they were still going to count them in the Republican national committee challenge that and went to the Supreme Court of the United States on an emergency stay basis. My colleague Patrick Strawbridge and will consequently from the law from the consulate McCarthy or my cocounsel in the cases for the President that right now we presented the briefing that argued yet because of the stop, and arguments. Right now, this case was not did not have to have oral argument.

They went ahead and issue this day and said no it is not constitutional to have a ballot dated after the election, and that's what somebody states to try to do to mess with the elections of getting on that early was important. I want to go to another call. But then you also pointed out that the SBA's processing 12 times what they normally do. Yet, this is just Jordan's point about what a good job. I really do think treasury and the SBA have done a J they typically only offer about $30 billion in small business loans every single year. This initial tranche was 349 doing. That's almost 12 times and Jordan talked about maybe the additional 250 billion.

This can be added on Thursday Jake they really are doing a good job want one final thing a leader. McConnell also just issued a press statement saying that he and leadership are very close to an agreement on that Thursday voice vote. I don't think that press release would go out unless it was gonna happen very good news there working together I would take your calls 100 684 31 talus go to Sharon from Arizona. She's online to Sharon on their hey Carl what the country yes they reach their maximum capitalization is what that was referring to. And that's where this additional relief fans coming into play yet is soon to be an additional To that I would just tell Sharon know she should probably call another financial institution. There are literally thousands of them hundreds of them have been onboard during this process, as she should go to SBA.gov to get a list in her area and some of them are national is well that particular bank might reach like it may be a personnel capacity. Jake Wisconsin large capitalization of what they been allocated. Yeah that's exactly right. But there are thousands point of application financial station she should not give up just because you got one not be your own advocate here and there, we saw that this week and we had a church that were working on Sunday night.

They were being told he went along with this when I can do even though it was a corporate banker and lo and behold they changed the policy so a lot of it is you know this is getting things up to speed.

That's part of the process here and I think that look, Jordan, the SBA's have at hand and the banker haven't had a lot of requests and having to do it remotely money and a lot more money than they are used to loading out at a basis to dismiss a very quick and usually fewer going to a bank exit to get a loan like this. The size loans were documented. Pay your entire payroll for months that would not be something they were processing it at multi-know it just for the bank side in a day off of two pages of information so that the truth is, I think that there's a lot of confusion still at the bank level and that's why fans advice important if you are going to one bank and they say you we capitalize or whatever excuse they give you, you could try that your bank I would work with them a little bit more to make sure that you're getting the right information there.

But if it's if if you've got so many banks available to you. They are considered essential businesses.

They are all open and operating.

Make it your job to go from bank to bank until you find one that is willing to work with you in a positive way you could put some pressure here sometimes I because they are probably overwhelmed. But at the same time. At the same time. I just want people to understand this money is available to you. It's the application should not be so difficult of a process. But if you got it. It shouldn't enough having to go to another institution. At this time we were dealing with a epidemic like this. A pandemic like this you know that that shouldn't put you out too much, especially when you try to take care of your entire business right. Let me let me say this also working at coming up we got this is in the am glad this is great. We salute his life.

Robert is the owner of the bank and I thought that would be great. Robert Lockwood broadcast. Thank you for coming on for a long time appreciate the work you do briefly. I want to clarify dollar talk about wanting to be helpful why the Big Bang and certain other bank that they we can't take anymore application.

Not because they're trying to be unfair, but most bank right now have liquidity problem might end the problem to get work because people are drawing down deposit and doubt and and and and and then the depositor door down and then on the ark are like the creditor commercial like the credit the businesses or have the draw those up the banks only have so much cash to get out to the SBA program not a capital problem is more of a liquidity issue and one Theravada liquidity. I mean, they're in trouble so that there are limits.

But they're there, but that they are opposed by economic factors, not because they are not criticizing the program and that's why a lot of thank you for in him we only got so much liquidity we gotta save that for you. So it's a question of the back bank a certain amount of cash available capitalization of the bank, so to speak For at least cash available for lending and you got a dual issue coming here. The SBA will people eat understand Robert and I want to comment on this is is the guarantor basically here the not actually putting out the money so to speak right. I don't want to get too complicated on you get what going on right now behind me that they're trying to establish through the Federal Reserve secondary market and pay rates there fill vacant fell off the loans to the Fed but in NFPA doing a great job because it is quite try to swallow an elephant on the death of the been remarkable.

The portal bar open. I'm getting blown numbers for my customers but we still haven't figured out how to fund these yet, but I just wanted to clarify, not because the banks are being unfair and we only got so much food we get it. I was draft beer, liquor, you know it so important, especially for small business folks that have a banking relationship with the Community Bank person because that's when it pays off. That's when the right, Robert. I really proceed to call you because as especially as a bank owner and I appreciate you offering some insight on that which is exactly what we been saying that's what got me persisted in this two things Robert said is you having lunch with your banker make this is a time like this is when I comes in very very handy very very helpful.

Thank you, Robert. We appreciate it very much. Daniels calling from South Dakota is online.

Three hi Daniel hello, thank you for taking my call today before a belly about what my comment is I just like to let you know that your blue outfit matches very well with your glad and that very excellent for some people say words and every day pretty much existing events of today become accordance by the way tomorrow days.

Well I would say tomorrow, tomorrow to be fine, but you see over the next weeks, it's can be much more remote so as not to meet were not to be in the studio will talk more about that them on days I had missed my super Facebook. You have a special broadcast ability, but I was glad with your comment. Yeah, I'd like to let you know that I really appreciate Quinn you guys talk about God being with and that the he never forgot."

That Isaiah 41 which really reminded me of Joshua 19 and I rather not quote both Bert before I become emotional and thought I become emotional Quinn I feel anxious that the comment that I wanted to call you.

Look, I think you find a lot of solace in the Scripture.

I don't believe or do we not pray for our country.

Pray for our leaders, but let me tell you those men and women those doctors and nurses and medical text and the people that clean the floors of those hospitals are going into a battle zone.

Yes, and in the zones are popping up around the country and new battle zones every day and so whether you thought that you know you were in a zone that maybe it wasn't as bad, then you don't. The next day. Suddenly you got these outbreaks of 4050 60 people, which then quickly turned into 100, 200 and so yet, and I think you know we talk about the doctors a lot. The nurse is a lot we have to remember everyone else at that hospital is keeping a hospital going from the janitorial staff which is in just as much risk to other people. Keeping any kind of at that he'll keep the Dr. said keep the nurses fed the whole staff everybody there from the loading docks to the janitorial staff to do these young new doctors people having finished their boards that they're allowing a nurses webbing finished that all their schooling, yet who they're allowing to go and help because they need the need is so great I meet with all of them should be in our prayers because they are the front lines and as you see from like I think Boris Johnson is a good example. Prime Minister gets it. You know has over 19 announces that it was about a week until he got the symptoms were bad enough to he had to go to be hospitalized. Then he was in intensive care now is on oxygen. Other cities not on a ventilator yet, but he's in intensive care and that's all within just about a weeks time of getting the he got the virus was self isolating and then hospitalized about a week later tell you the seriousness of what the world is facing, and are our allies around the world are facing to you. I think it's look at me that I think this is exactly exactly what we expect will try to grab another couple calls here. Let's go to Shannon very quickly on the AirTran line for all work at a job where you have to take out part time, doubtful time and then I also had another of my own late. I do not have a ID number, but I use my Social Security number when I file text report to Ira on this. I know the question glad Jan these other couple things she is going to get the stimulus check DD small business loan is to be based on her payroll calculating J so whatever that looked like over the last month times 2 1/2 bath or salary right that would factor in you is that I don't know where that would fall for her yet so Jenny will qualify you gotta apply a year with the banker said you gotta do that right away. Be persistent. Thanks for calling and would try to grab the rest of his Joan California go ahead and turn because I heard over a period of decade or more, that the Congress And when he hadn't let it go through that the government if they were not many can ask my retirement account know that's completely not the case and that's not the case at all this money come from general treasury funds in three about that Terry.

Glad your online six class: been hearing about that Bill Gates and foundation toybox means and I see a lot of caregivers as well. Are you speaking that there is one right now to be married. I mean we should be praying that they can come up with a vaccine. I am praying that they come up with a vaccine weather will be mandatory or not that will be a question that will be determined by the government and health officials and then there's usually religious exemptions, but with the nature of this virus. I mean, in advance, it's totally speculation to say whether it be mandatory or not meet if there was an approved vaccine. I would take it. I want protect my family and my coworkers.
