Today on the Matt Wall Show, many of us are worried that our current lockdown strategy is leading

us quickly into an economic collapse, unlike anything this country has ever seen before.

But the left wing media says that if you're worried about the economy in a time like this,

then you are a heartless scrooge putting money above people. Which of course is nonsense.

And we're going to talk about that today. Also, five headlines, including for a change of pace,

you know, we're used to seeing the confrontations in the grocery store over toilet paper.

Well, we have one over Mountain Dew. So I figure that's a nice change of pace.

I'll play that video for you and a listener writes to explain why I'm wrong in advocating that we

open up the economy to avoid the depression. All of that on the way. But let's start with this.

And I have to tell you, I am pretty mad, pretty ticked off, which I know speaking of change of pace.

That's quite a change of pace for me. But listen, I think a person can take any number of

positions on this crisis and what the best path forward is. And any idea of any path we choose

has the potential to result in suffering and death. In fact, that's going to be part of the

package no matter what we do. That's the situation that we're in. That's the reality of it.

We have to face that. We can't hide from it. So I'm not going to get angry at anyone who has

really grappled with this and come to a conclusion. However tentative it might be,

even if that conclusion is different from mine. Because we can all, as honest and compassionate people,

there are many different ways of looking at this thing. But what I'm seeing, especially from people

in the media, is a bad faith dishonest, disgusting effort to shut down, shout down. Those of us who

suggest that perhaps it's not a good idea to deliberately crash the economy, to deliberately

cause a great depression in order to stop a virus. What I'm seeing from these people, again,

many in the media, is an attempt to make a caricature of our position, which is a reasonable position
