Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey, podcasters, great show today. You don't want to miss a second. We go into Bernie Sanders,
00:00:04.940 the radical revolutionaries behind him. We show you what's happening just last night
00:00:10.600 in South Carolina. The Dow is taking a hit. That's because of the coronavirus.
00:00:16.860 Couple that with a socialist getting into office and God help us all. We give you some solutions
00:00:22.900 like Arguing with Socialists, the new book that is coming out. We check in with Stu,
00:00:27.260 who is up at CPAC, and the very important coronavirus update. You don't want to miss
00:00:34.980 this podcast. It's all right here.
00:00:57.260 It's been almost three years now.
00:01:19.200 Shots being fired. And there are people running, possibly victims involved.
00:01:26.920 But America can never forget this day.
00:01:30.400 Somebody said he shouted out, is this R's or D's? And someone shouted back, Republicans.
00:01:34.500 24 elected officials practicing baseball, for God's sakes.
00:01:41.500 The bullets are landing just a couple of feet from me.
00:01:46.300 Targeted. One almost lost his life. It all happened because a delusioned man so strongly
00:01:53.260 supported a socialist candidate that he believed using a gun was the only way and the right way
00:02:00.160 to achieve his utopian ideal. And time after time after time, throughout both history and in our
00:02:06.460 current day, we've seen those who support a communist way of life resort to violence to make
00:02:12.380 their point, to get their way. They destroy or even kill anyone who stands in their way.
00:02:19.380 It's the reality those living under communism have to endure every day.
00:02:23.660 But now, it's becoming a reality here.
00:02:30.800 The Democrats are about to nominate, currently their frontrunner.
00:02:36.700 When Fidel Casco came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program.
00:02:41.200 Is that a bad thing?
00:02:42.380 A guy who has failed time and time again to speak out against the violence,
00:02:48.060 his supporters, his campaign workers, advocate.
00:02:51.900 A candidate who supported every single violent communist regime throughout history.
00:02:59.720 American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food.
00:03:05.480 That's a good thing.
00:03:06.780 What happens to the shining city on the hill?
00:03:09.980 The beacon of freedom for the rest of the world.
00:03:13.040 If a candidate who supports this becomes the most powerful man in the world.
00:03:18.060 Where does the world turn for help?
00:03:24.880 You remember this from Hong Kong.
00:03:28.880 A Bernie Sanders presidency is dangerous for far too many reasons.
00:03:39.500 Higher taxes, Medicare for all, a near-complete government takeover of any industry you could possibly name.
00:03:49.000 Our stock market will crash.
00:03:52.260 But this?
00:03:54.600 This is what changes us the most.
00:03:57.460 I know what Bernie's like, hey, for education, for everybody, because we're going to have to teach you not to be a f***ing Nazi.
00:04:04.840 There's a reason Joseph Stalin had gulags, right?
00:04:08.120 Over and over again, Bernie has shown he appeals to the angry left, the violent left.
00:04:16.960 And it's time the media stops excusing his apparent inability to downplay the countless examples of extremism his rabid fan support.
00:04:28.940 Gulags were actually meant for, like, re-education.
00:04:32.820 It's time, America, to stop ignoring the truth.
00:04:36.860 Because if we don't, America is never the same again.
00:04:45.840 It is time you know the truth about Bernie Sanders and those he works with.
00:04:53.280 And it begins right now.
00:04:55.760 That was the opening of our special that you can now watch on demand at Blaze TV.

00:05:04.080 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.
00:05:06.400 We opened the first probably 10 minutes of the special with the work of Project Veritas and tried to put that into context and perspective.
00:05:16.120 You've seen many of the campaign supporters that have been talking about guillotining the rich, talking about going in and dragging the MSNBC staff out into the street by their hair and setting them on fire.
00:05:32.320 This is exactly, I mean, almost word for word, what I warned against in 2000, was it 9 or 11, on the radio and television program.
00:05:46.280 I said, you journalist, you think you know what you're dealing with, but they will come after you, not just me, you, because you are part of the problem.
00:05:59.340 And they will drag you out in the streets and beat you to death and they won't have a problem with it.
00:06:06.800 We are dealing now with people who are verbalizing that and are in the same position as the guy who said those things before and then went out to a ballpark in Virginia and tried to kill half the Congress.
00:06:23.060 But I want you to know, this isn't about half the Congress.
00:06:27.620 This is about the media, the Democrats and the Republicans.
00:06:33.020 They don't want any of this.
00:06:36.360 They want a completely different system.
00:06:40.840 They want socialism.
00:06:42.460 And you can call it warm and fuzzy Scandinavian socialism, but Scandinavian socialism doesn't exist anymore.
00:06:50.900 It existed in the 50s and the 60s.
00:06:53.340 And by the 70s, it was going bankrupt and they abandoned socialism.
00:06:58.740 They abandoned it.
00:07:00.020 It didn't work.
00:07:01.940 Do they have a bigger safety net?
00:07:03.620 Yes.
00:07:04.460 But their corporations are more free than we are.
00:07:07.680 I want you to understand.
00:07:13.220 Listen to these words.
00:07:17.780 Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society.
00:07:37.680 And that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal collective good.
00:07:49.980 If you watched Game of Thrones, this was the philosophy.
00:07:55.640 It just wasn't socialism.
00:07:56.840 It was feudalism.
00:07:57.780 The kings established the kingdom and your life had no consequence.
00:08:05.380 None.
00:08:06.340 They could do whatever they wanted to to the serfs.
00:08:09.080 They could rape your women.
00:08:10.680 They could kill your family.
00:08:12.280 They could take your land.
00:08:13.740 It didn't matter because it was for the good of the kingdom.
00:08:18.960 You as an individual did not count.
00:08:21.960 There were a group of elites.
00:08:26.080 They were born into it or had special privileges because, well, they were the elites.
00:08:32.660 They were the educated.
00:08:34.700 They were the priests.
00:08:35.880 The same thing.
00:08:39.720 This is the same system as what Game of Thrones was like, where if you displease the king, you're dead.
00:08:49.700 Except the king, in this particular case, is just a bunch of elites that think they know better than you.
00:08:58.080 I want to make this really super clear.
00:09:03.960 I was wrong about Barack Obama on one thing, for sure.
00:09:08.620 And that was that he was going to usher in the revolution in his term.
00:09:17.600 I thought that's what he was going to do in the first couple of years.
00:09:21.760 And that's what I was warning about because he had people like Van Jones around him.
00:09:26.620 But but Barack Obama, what I failed to see and what people like Van Jones failed to see was that Barack Obama turned to the progressive route because he had surrounded himself to be able to win the presidency.
00:09:44.260 He surrounded himself with Clinton progressives.
00:09:49.380 There's a difference between a progressive and a revolutionary.
00:09:53.100 A revolutionary believes in what's called direct action.
00:09:58.720 That's Antifa.
00:10:00.680 Direct action means I don't care what the vote says.
00:10:05.240 It's time for direct action.
00:10:07.060 It's time to go to the streets, break the windows, burn things down.
00:10:11.100 Kristallnacht.
00:10:12.680 The night of broken glass in Germany.
00:10:15.380 That is direct action.
00:10:17.440 And when it is supported by those in higher office and those in power.
00:10:28.580 That's when you start to have communism or Nazism.
00:10:34.760 Rain.
00:10:39.820 Remember, Kristallnacht was just a bunch of rabble rousers.
00:10:44.020 Oh, my gosh, did they really do that?
00:10:45.960 That's horrible.
00:10:46.940 Well, we'll have to look into that.
00:10:49.980 But the state and the media turned a blind eye because it was it was OK to do.
00:10:58.000 And it was the revolutionaries that were doing it.
00:11:01.380 Scare people into silence.
00:11:03.540 I want to show you last night.
00:11:12.120 I showed you.
00:11:13.820 The project Veritas in the first 10 minutes.
00:11:16.940 And when you see these people in the context that we placed it in.
00:11:22.520 You know, project Veritas has done some really, really good things.
00:11:25.760 And they went undercover and they exposed all of these people.
00:11:30.180 But I don't think people understand what they exposed.
00:11:34.420 Oh, that's just some low, you know, staffer.
00:11:37.480 Well, no.
00:11:39.360 That's that.
00:11:40.200 These people hold exactly the same position still in the Bernie Sanders camp.
00:11:45.360 Still hold the same position that the shooter did in Virginia.
00:11:51.300 That shows me something is very, very, very wrong.
00:12:03.420 They endorse it.
00:12:05.480 They're fine with these tactics.
00:12:07.900 They're talking about burning Milwaukee to the ground.
00:12:10.880 See, the Democrats are in an impossible place.
00:12:16.620 They invited these.
00:12:18.380 And I'm going to use this word and I know it's bold, but it's true.
00:12:22.300 These killers into their own camp.
00:12:26.120 And now what?
00:12:27.820 Now, how do you get rid of them?
00:12:29.960 Because they're killers.
00:12:32.860 Eventually, when you have enough power.
00:12:36.020 Hitler had to kill him.
00:12:38.100 He killed his brown shirts.
00:12:39.580 The people that were causing all of the problems on the street, because eventually the guy in power knows, you know, they could challenge me and they can't have any more power.
00:12:53.280 So once their usefulness is over, they're killed.
00:12:59.960 Because remember, it's for the good of the state.
00:13:02.200 People don't matter.
00:13:03.540 However, in the special last night, we then moved to who Bernie Sanders has around him as leading advisors.
00:13:17.100 Who is actually running his campaign?
00:13:19.960 We'll get into that and show you how these these brown shirts.
00:13:27.780 Or if you want to call them Mussolini, black shirts.
00:13:32.860 Or I think they were.
00:13:35.120 They were just called Bolsheviks in Russia.
00:13:38.700 How these people are acting right now and the press is turning a blind eye.
00:13:47.940 Ronald Reagan said in the 1960s, it's a time of choosing.
00:13:53.560 America, this may be your last call.
00:13:57.540 To Democrats, independents, and Republicans, I call on you to choose.
00:14:09.460 But choose with actual information.
00:14:14.520 I'm going to share some stuff with you today.
00:14:16.360 Do not take my word for any of this.
00:14:18.600 Do your own homework.
00:14:20.060 Do not dismiss it out of hand, but do not accept it out of hand either.
00:14:24.720 Do your own homework.
00:14:30.060 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:14:38.480 Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:14:41.440 If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:14:46.040 It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
00:14:50.240 I don't think a lot of people know who Bernie surrounds himself with.
00:14:54.720 I don't think they understand that this isn't just some old curmudgeon socialist with dumb ideas that America could just reject.
00:15:03.540 That a bunch of Democrats are helping.
00:15:05.860 Yeah.
00:15:06.300 That's not what's happening here.
00:15:07.960 It's not what's happening.
00:15:09.120 We started with the Project Veritas of who the people are on the ground.
00:15:14.900 And you can deny you could you could say, well, we didn't know.
00:15:18.320 We well, you did know the videos out there and you did nothing about it.
00:15:23.040 We reached out to the Sanders campaign and said, do you disavow this?
00:15:27.300 Do you disavow these people?
00:15:28.560 No response.
00:15:29.620 And they all still work for him.
00:15:30.620 Right.
00:15:30.840 As far as we know.
00:15:32.560 Yeah.
00:15:32.960 No response.
00:15:34.620 But it's it's beyond that.
00:15:36.620 As you go into the special and, you know, after the first 10 minutes, you start to see who he has in his campaign.
00:15:43.400 First, there's Claire Sandberg.
00:15:45.760 She's the national organizing director and also Winnie Wong, a senior campaign advisor.
00:15:52.920 Winnie Wong.
00:15:53.960 We showed you pictures of them hanging out with Linda Sarsour and Ilan Omar, et cetera, et cetera.
00:16:00.040 But when Wong isn't busy with anti-Semites, she's giving speeches at Democratic Socialists of America convention.
00:16:07.800 Her speech, one of them was titled Revolution at the Crossroads, Igniting the Social Resistance Against Trump.
00:16:16.960 After she she was with the campaign in 2016 and after Bernie failed, she was busy traveling around the world.
00:16:26.280 She went to Europe to train leftist political groups like Podemos in Spain.
00:16:32.640 That's the Communist Party in Spain, UK's Labour Party.
00:16:36.880 She worked with them.
00:16:38.500 The left, which is the Democratic Socialist Party in Germany.
00:16:44.620 Now, here's what's crazy about this.
00:16:46.600 The left is a new name, but it's the same organization that used to be the ruling party in communist East Germany.
00:16:56.020 So they've rebranded and Bernie's Bernie's.
00:17:01.120 What is she?
00:17:01.620 The campaign camp senior campaign advisor is overtraining these people.
00:17:09.000 Sandberg, who is above her.
00:17:12.540 She's the national organizing director.
00:17:14.860 She went to Norway along with Wong to train leaders of the rote party.
00:17:21.040 Now, the rote party in Norwegian is actually translated to the Red Party.
00:17:28.600 It is the Communist Red Party.
00:17:32.400 So let it sink in.
00:17:35.020 The national organizing director in charge of his entire army of street organizations.
00:17:40.520 One of his senior campaign advisors are in high demand as trainers of communist parties over in Europe.
00:17:47.940 Then another Bernie senior official, the senior policy advisor, Heather, Heather Gottney.
00:17:56.800 She was also an Occupy Wall Street veteran and a sociology professor at Fordham University.
00:18:03.440 You might remember her because she was the one that wrote that big article in The Washington Post about how this leaderless group is so powerful and how you do this, how you put these things together.
00:18:16.140 Well, she had so much inside information that everybody's like, she's the leader.
00:18:21.720 She's the architect of this.
00:18:23.160 She was like, no, no, no.
00:18:24.520 They don't have leaders.
00:18:26.060 No, I'm just observing.
00:18:28.500 Uh-huh.
00:18:29.280 Uh-huh.
00:18:29.740 Well, she was invited to speak at a university and she said, she said, I felt my role was to maintain my position as representing the movement.
00:18:39.740 Unfortunately for her, the university that invited her was the University of Tehran in Iran.
00:18:49.380 And it was, it was, uh, the, the conference was called an American awakening.
00:18:55.860 And it was all about the left waking up and taking over and overthrowing the United States government.
00:19:03.580 That's a senior campaign advisor for Bernie Sanders.
00:19:08.900 By the way, she also, uh, spoke, uh, in favor of Chavez in Venezuela while Chavez was there.
00:19:17.020 Uh, she said, today's neoliberal capitalist system has become utterly in, uh, incompatible with the requisites of democratic freedom.
00:19:25.680 As it stands, U.S. representative political and economic institutions are not structured as representative bodies in any real sort of way.
00:19:35.380 Democratic.
00:19:36.160 Once again, this is why I'm so sensitive to that word because the socialists use it all the time to mask their true design.
00:19:44.840 They make it sound like this is totally American.
00:19:47.620 What do you mean?
00:19:48.120 This is democratic.
00:19:49.300 I'm pushing democracy.
00:19:51.140 No, no, you're not.
00:19:52.160 You're pushing socialism.
00:19:53.840 Do people just think that Bernie Sanders has a whole bunch of just rank and file, normal, everyday, all American Democrats working for him and around him?
00:20:05.140 Because nobody's talking about any of this.
00:20:07.680 Nobody's looking into any of this except you.
00:20:11.180 And no, there's lots of people that are looking into it.
00:20:13.120 I'm just trying to.
00:20:13.760 Are they?
00:20:14.360 Because I don't hear any of it.
00:20:15.820 Project Veritas is doing a lot.
00:20:17.680 Oh, okay.
00:20:17.940 You know, Ben Shapiro, I think, is doing a lot.
00:20:22.260 They're talking about, like, his campaign manager.
00:20:24.340 No, but they are trying.
00:20:26.480 There are a lot of us that are trying to say, America, wake up.
00:20:30.520 This isn't happy socialism.
00:20:32.020 Oh, it's bad.
00:20:32.540 Happy socialism doesn't work.
00:20:34.640 But this isn't about Medicare for all.
00:20:36.720 This is about an end to the capitalist system.
00:20:39.440 I mean, we have one of their campaign supporters that we showed last night that he's saying, look, things are more important now.
00:20:48.420 U.S. law is irrelevant because human existence is at stake.
00:20:54.000 So they're saying that because they are right, they can break any law.
00:21:00.380 When Bernie Sanders declares the global warming as a crisis, as an American crisis and an American emergency, which his campaign is saying it's the first thing he's going to be doing.
00:21:16.960 When he does that, American laws can become irrelevant quickly.
00:21:25.100 Yeah, Stu?
00:21:26.020 No, it's just it's an incredible thing to watch this happen and go down the way it is, because these are there used to be a time where we saw this with who was it just the other day?
00:21:40.240 The reporter from ABC, I think it was.
00:21:43.040 Yeah.
00:21:43.200 Where the same thing with James O'Keefe went in there and caught him saying these things off.
00:21:48.260 You know, he was a socialist and stuff and they suspended him for it.
00:21:52.680 Usually there's at least the person who does the kind of crazy thing.
00:21:57.160 They'll suspend or fire or whatever.
00:21:59.200 And they'll just say it's not systemic.
00:22:00.840 It's one person.
00:22:01.660 He's low level, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:22:03.660 Bernie is like the first person that I can remember who's just like, no, we're going to keep all these people that are saying we're going to murder people and put them in gulags.
00:22:11.120 We're going to keep on staff.
00:22:11.980 Is any is any reporter going to step up and say, hey, what about these people?
00:22:17.760 They didn't in Germany.
00:22:19.660 They didn't in communist Russia in 1919.
00:22:23.320 They didn't.
00:22:24.720 This is the way it happens.
00:22:26.480 The press is infiltrated.
00:22:28.680 The press will be fine with it until they start coming after the press.
00:22:33.120 And then it's too late.
00:22:35.280 I mean, if you think that the democratic institutions are going to stop this, it's not going to.
00:22:41.040 The democratic institutions that we have have been infiltrated and are are toothless at this point.
00:22:49.660 The media, the Democrats, it's too late.
00:22:53.480 And they're all focused on beating Donald Trump.
00:22:56.780 Look, you want to throw somebody like even Elizabeth Warren.
00:23:01.560 She's not a revolutionary that hates America.
00:23:06.880 She just sees it in a very different way.
00:23:10.720 Bloomberg doesn't hate America.
00:23:13.900 I think the guy is really, really bad for the country.
00:23:18.180 I think this guy is an autocrat.
00:23:20.180 He's Woodrow Wilson.
00:23:21.180 But he's not a revolutionary that hates America.
00:23:26.300 Yeah.
00:23:26.880 You know, people aren't excited about the country when they continually talk about transforming it.
00:23:31.720 You don't transform something you love.
00:23:33.680 It doesn't need transformation.
00:23:35.620 And this is the same thing, the same problem we had with Obama, who started this process.
00:23:41.100 And now the plan is for Bernie Sanders to finish the process.
00:23:44.320 You know what's amazing?
00:23:45.080 I've been thinking of that the last few weeks.
00:23:46.800 First of all, I want to go over all the things that we predicted because I think now is the reaping.
00:23:52.140 Yeah.
00:23:52.320 Right now is the reaping.
00:23:53.520 Yeah.
00:23:53.760 I said they would take their mask off.
00:23:55.480 I said they wanted to tell you.
00:23:56.860 They wanted you to know that they were revolutionaries, that they were socialists.
00:24:00.560 They wanted you to know they want this fight.
00:24:04.200 We're all there.
00:24:06.340 The one thing that keeps coming to mind is how I said during Obama, if you allow this now.
00:24:18.180 Imagine what is going to happen with the next president or the president after that.
00:24:23.780 Yeah.
00:24:23.880 Last night in a really chilling piece of video, one of the Bernie Sanders people said,
00:24:30.180 look at where we are four years ago in 2016.
00:24:35.020 We didn't win.
00:24:36.460 We couldn't have won.
00:24:38.240 If you would have told us four years ago that America would be on the precipice of embracing socialism,
00:24:45.020 we wouldn't have believed it.
00:24:46.640 And then if we're here now, can you even imagine where we'll be in four years?
00:24:55.660 America, it is the time of choosing.
00:24:58.540 You must choose now.
00:25:02.700 It's a really great point made by that Bernie follower.
00:25:06.860 It is.
00:25:07.480 Because, yeah, look how far we've come since the last Bernie campaign.
00:25:12.120 Nobody was on board, even with Medicare for all.
00:25:15.620 No Democrats wanted that.
00:25:17.320 Or at least they didn't admit to wanting it.
00:25:19.460 And now here we are with them all embracing it.
00:25:23.900 Let's see.
00:25:24.460 It's fascinating, too, to watch, I think, because you have a situation where 40 percent of Democratic primary voters in 2016 already cast a vote for this guy.
00:25:32.960 So it's been normalized in a way that back and forth of a two-person race sort of normalized him as a regular candidate.
00:25:40.320 And now they're like, well, we voted for him last time.
00:25:42.520 Why not go out there and vote for him again?
00:25:44.500 Well, last time you basically did it because it was an anti-Clinton vote.
00:25:47.860 Here, this guy is now winning.
00:25:49.620 This was this is not a protest vote anymore.
00:25:51.260 This is a guy who could actually get your nomination.
00:25:54.360 Regular Democrats need to think about that really seriously before they cast that vote.
00:25:57.480 But see, here's the problem.
00:25:58.740 Regular Democrats who are in the party, I mean, the ones who are, you know, part of the political system, they're not listening to their own constituents who are tired of this.
00:26:13.240 They're tired of the corruption and the campaigns and they're just tired of it.
00:26:17.620 Just like the Republicans were tired of it and they elected Donald Trump.
00:26:22.660 This has to end.
00:26:25.320 This has to end.
00:26:27.100 If you if you're tired, if they if they take Bernie and somehow or another force him out, it's only going to empower him and make his message even stronger because people will go look at how corrupt the Democratic Party is.
00:26:46.160 The Democrats will and they're and they'll have another bad candidate and it'll be bad and they'll just say, you know what, at least this guy wants to burn the system down.
00:26:57.480 That's where we're headed.
00:26:58.580 And that is their stated intention, the stated intention of Russia, the state of a stated intention of Antifa and the weather underground all the way back.
00:27:11.700 Get people to not believe in any of the institutions, because once you do, you just want anybody to fix it.
00:27:21.340 Gosh, do you remember me saying that you'll make?
00:27:24.240 You'll take Howard Pivenson, anyone to make the pain stop.
00:27:28.180 Yep.
00:27:28.860 America.
00:27:29.440 Wow.
00:27:30.080 Wake up on Bernie Sanders.
00:27:31.420 You can see that special now at the blaze blaze dot com blaze TV dot com blaze TV dot com slash Glenn.
00:27:41.860 Use a promo code Glenn and save 10 percent right now.
00:27:45.220 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:02.800 The Glenn Beck program election by numbers.
00:28:07.740 Welcome to the program.
00:28:09.680 We're glad that you're here.
00:28:11.220 We're watching the Dow.
00:28:12.600 It's now almost a thousand points down.
00:28:15.420 We're at 11 percent loss just this week because of coronavirus.
00:28:19.480 And we will tell you all you need to know on the coronavirus coming up in just a second.
00:28:24.100 I wanted to get a look at the numbers and see if there's been any shift of any of the numbers since the last debate.
00:28:30.160 We're going into South Carolina this weekend.
00:28:32.300 And then Bernie Sanders dominated everywhere except for two states on Super Tuesday.
00:28:39.080 How are things shaping up today, Stu?
00:28:40.780 Well, it's interesting in that there was a movement towards Sanders in South Carolina that had been developing over the past couple of weeks with all of the wins.
00:28:51.040 He basically won Iowa, then won New Hampshire in a close race, then had a blowout win in Nevada.
00:28:57.900 And so the thought was he was going to gain some steam.
00:29:00.380 It was going to be close race in South Carolina.
00:29:01.960 You know, Joe Biden has never trailed in a poll of the South Carolina primary.
00:29:06.920 None.
00:29:07.600 He's never trailed in any of them.
00:29:09.420 So this is why they always talk about this being his firewall, because he has a lot of African-American voters.
00:29:15.760 He does very well with.
00:29:17.820 So the movement was obviously against Biden.
00:29:21.300 And this was sort of his last stand.
00:29:23.220 Right.
00:29:23.620 As it was seen.
00:29:25.060 A couple of things have happened, though, since in the last week or so.
00:29:27.840 Biden finished second in Nevada.
00:29:30.720 And that was seen as a positive, despite the fact that he lost by 26 points.
00:29:35.400 I mean, if you're the vice president for eight years under a popular Democratic president, you probably shouldn't lose by 26 to anybody.
00:29:42.500 But for him, it looked really good.
00:29:45.000 And this is the thing.
00:29:45.720 The Joe Biden scale is in effect right now.
00:29:47.500 So we've got the curve because you have a 26 point loss that's seen as a positive because he came in second.
00:29:54.860 Then you have a debate performance, which he's been giving so many ones and zeros on one to ten scales that the fact that he put up like a five was like incredible to people.
00:30:06.240 It looked like he was rejuvenated.
00:30:07.680 He was inspired.
00:30:08.640 I've never been more sad for an elderly person, really, in public.
00:30:16.800 I've never I mean, I couldn't be more sad than that performance.
00:30:19.700 I thought that was that was my grandpa when they were, you know, saying, hey, we have to take the keys of the car away and you can't drive anymore.
00:30:27.860 And he was trying to make the case that he was perfectly fine.
00:30:30.840 But every time he was speaking, it kind of made the case that, no, grandpa, you're not fine.
00:30:35.880 And it just kind of really it was sad.
00:30:39.020 And I felt that was his performance last night.
00:30:42.120 If I was in his family, I would say, stop, dad, it's time to stop.
00:30:46.440 Got to stop.
00:30:47.660 You probably should have said that before the the primary started, I would say.
00:30:51.920 But the fact that he did uncover 150 million gun murders that we did not know about.
00:30:57.060 And that's pretty impressive.
00:30:58.120 Right.
00:30:58.360 Just from a detective standpoint, I thought that was impressive.
00:31:01.520 So what has happened in the past couple of weeks is is is this is increased scrutiny of Sanders.
00:31:06.220 Obviously, you have you talked about it.
00:31:07.800 You did the big special Wednesday night special.
00:31:09.340 You can get it at blaze tv dot com slash Glenn and watch the whole thing.
00:31:12.700 But not only just you from people like Buttigieg and Klobuchar and the Democrats were exposed to a lot of this.
00:31:20.500 Hey, he really seems to like Cuba stuff for the first time.
00:31:23.420 Right.
00:31:23.880 That's not stuff that's normally criticized.
00:31:25.120 Right.
00:31:25.540 Left.
00:31:25.820 Right.
00:31:26.020 But because the moderate candidates actually brought it up, people started seeing that a little bit potentially as a they sort of saw Donald Trump with with that material in hand and what that looks like in a general election.
00:31:39.080 And so it's interesting in that the past few days after a big tightening in the polls in South Carolina, that really has reversed.
00:31:48.400 There was the last four polls that have come out have Biden up 15, 7, 18.
00:31:56.060 And today from a top ranked pollster at Monmouth, a 20 point lead in South Carolina to 16 in South Carolina.
00:32:03.740 OK.
00:32:04.300 So, I mean, if he's able to pull up anything even remotely close to that, that is going to rejuvenate his campaign and potentially make him the alternative.
00:32:13.520 The way I've been looking at this race, Glenn, has been South Carolina's kind of Biden's last firewall.
00:32:18.180 Last stand.
00:32:18.580 One more chance.
00:32:19.400 Yep.
00:32:19.720 And get last stand.
00:32:20.520 If he doesn't win there, it's probably either Bloomberg or nothing in the way of Sanders.
00:32:26.260 And Bloomberg obviously is a terrible choice and has a million problems of his own, but he does have the resources and that he doesn't have to necessarily win instantly to stay in the race.
00:32:35.140 You know, Steyer fits that profile as well, but he is expected to probably finish third or fourth in South Carolina.
00:32:40.100 And I don't know how he goes on that.
00:32:41.340 Nobody cares about it.
00:32:42.220 So what about Super Tuesday?
00:32:43.520 Are there any polls between now and then that are going to be coming out to see if because Sanders was dominating?
00:32:50.580 I mean, if Sanders, yes, even if even if Biden wins in South Carolina, if Sanders does what he was predicted to do at the beginning of the week, all across America for Super Tuesday, he is, you know, 40 percent there.
00:33:07.140 Yeah, he really is a long way there because he was all but two states he was projected to win.
00:33:12.580 And I believe that's still the case, though.
00:33:14.420 A big Biden win in South Carolina, I think, would change some of that.
00:33:17.680 California is going to be almost definitely Sanders, which is a huge deal because that's, you know, you know, he's projected to win 222 delegates right now, only 84 for Biden.
00:33:31.200 So, you know, could that get closer if there's a big win?
00:33:35.320 Very, you know, possibly.
00:33:36.720 But still, that's a big, big gap.
00:33:38.320 He's going to pick up a lot of delegates there.
00:33:40.020 The other one that's big is Texas.
00:33:43.600 I can't believe this.
00:33:45.620 I just can't believe this.
00:33:46.560 It is it is shocking to see, I guess.
00:33:49.320 Texas has right now Sanders as the favorite, but that's tightening.
00:33:54.280 These latest polls are tightening.
00:33:55.820 I think if if if Biden can win in South Carolina, he's got a shot at picking up Texas as well.
00:34:00.920 The issue there, though, is the way they do these delegates.
00:34:03.600 And it's a it's a ridiculously complicated system.
00:34:06.000 But the bottom line is, if you don't get 15 percent in a particular district, you can't you automatically get zero delegates.
00:34:11.600 So it winds up being that anyone who gets over 15 percent, they give it away proportionally.
00:34:18.080 So if it's a 40, you know, a 60, 40 election, the delegate count isn't that much different.
00:34:25.040 You're only going to pick up a few delegates here and there.
00:34:27.080 And if other the more candidates that get get across that threshold, the lower the stakes get in a way, it's a weird system.
00:34:37.020 I don't think it works very well.
00:34:38.120 The Republicans do.
00:34:38.940 If you remember this, Glenn, from 2016, do a lot of winner take all states where the win is a lot more important because you're picking up this, you know, 60 delegates versus zero.
00:34:48.560 So that's not what happens in the Democratic side when you win, you might win, you know, 43 to 37.
00:34:54.580 And so you're plus six in the delegate count.
00:34:57.360 It's hard to make up differences if you get way behind.
00:35:00.200 But, you know, if you can keep it close, you have a chance to be able to do that.
00:35:03.820 And right now it's still relatively close.
00:35:06.240 I mean, you know, Biden, for all of his failures, he's failed in really slow delegate states.
00:35:11.380 What does 538 say about the odds of, you know, nobody going into the convention and with a with a clear mandate?
00:35:22.780 It's interesting because Sanders, after Nevada, had picked up and gone above.
00:35:27.140 It had outpaced no one.
00:35:29.300 Like, contesting convention is essentially no one.
00:35:32.420 No one gets more than half of the delegates.
00:35:34.520 But that's reversed now with these.
00:35:35.840 I think these latest polls in South Carolina has been a big factor in that.
00:35:38.980 No one, again, is in first place.
00:35:41.380 Now, again, I think that is where most people are that way, because I think that's where most people are.
00:35:46.940 They're like, no one.
00:35:48.020 No, and I don't want any of these guys.
00:35:50.540 Yeah, I mean, it's not it's that's not what they're saying, actually.
00:35:53.200 I mean, but it's just a matter of they can't decide right there.
00:35:56.200 There's not enough momentum behind one candidate to get it to get Sanders, particularly above the 50 percent threshold.
00:36:04.420 And if they don't get to 50 percent, you're in a contested convention right now.
00:36:07.640 Forty eight percent chance of contested convention.
00:36:10.060 Thirty seven percent chance of Bernie Sanders.
00:36:12.960 Biden is next with 13 percent chance.
00:36:15.100 Bloomberg at two and everyone else is below that.
00:36:17.860 I will say, though, the probably the more interesting way of looking at this is looking at it as the plurality of delegates.
00:36:24.260 So who's in the lead?
00:36:26.080 You might only have 48 percent of the delegates, so you don't get the automatic win.
00:36:29.720 But if Bernie Sanders gets to 48 percent of the delegates, it's almost definite that he's going to be able to get the nomination if he can get that close.
00:36:37.180 And the plurality rating for him is six.
00:36:39.640 Right.
00:36:40.140 Yeah.
00:36:40.540 And then then then goodbye.
00:36:41.980 I hope you I hope you sold your house already in Milwaukee, but a 65 percent chance of Sanders winning the plurality of votes.
00:36:50.860 Biden at 26, Bloomberg at eight and Warren and at one percent.
00:36:55.920 So basically you have a Sanders, Biden, Bloomberg, I think are the only three that have a legitimate argument at this point.
00:37:03.540 Yeah.
00:37:03.860 It's kind of surprising that Buttigieg showed no strength coming out of those first two states.
00:37:07.880 I mean, he really is just dissolved and has disappeared, but he does not seem to be part of the picture.
00:37:13.380 Thank you very much, Stu, from Washington.
00:37:15.240 He's up there for CPAC.
00:37:16.540 I'll be up there on Saturday.
00:37:18.140 Also, he'll be doing his his show.
00:37:20.280 Stu does America.
00:37:21.640 Lots of guests from CPAC.
00:37:23.240 You can watch that every night on Blaze TV dot com.
00:37:27.620 Election by numbers.
00:37:34.880 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:37:37.880 The Chinese government has come out and they are proposing they haven't done it yet, but they are proposing a ban.
00:38:00.360 On eating dogs.
00:38:02.720 And no dogs, all dogs, all dogs, all dogs.
00:38:07.400 They're saying, don't eat a dog.
00:38:11.400 And now it's not official, but I've already got this down.
00:38:14.900 I mean, I am.
00:38:17.060 I'm I'm the I'm the the, you know, prepper general for the United States.
00:38:22.980 If that's the standard, I've never eaten a dog.
00:38:26.120 I've never even had a desire to eat a dog.
00:38:28.140 I would tell you before the coronavirus, don't eat a dog.
00:38:32.080 So that is really prepared.
00:38:34.340 Now, they mean everything like is it like dog broth?
00:38:37.580 You can have dog broth.
00:38:38.700 No, no dog.
00:38:39.300 Nothing dog.
00:38:40.600 No, it's got dog in the time.
00:38:42.180 It's got dog in the title.
00:38:43.760 Don't eat it.
00:38:44.760 Hot dog.
00:38:46.060 Well, that's not technically a dog.
00:38:49.000 So and I see what you're saying.
00:38:51.160 Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
00:38:52.440 Well, in China, no, maybe not.
00:38:54.760 Now, tell me if you notice something here.
00:38:58.060 The ban also.
00:39:00.460 Could they haven't finalized it yet.
00:39:02.860 They're proposing it.
00:39:04.200 Could also extend to snakes, frogs and turtle meat.
00:39:10.620 Is there anything left?
00:39:14.580 What are you supposed to eat?
00:39:16.400 You notice that's the four food groups.
00:39:20.680 Dog, you know, dog, turtle meat, frogs, snakes.
00:39:24.920 I mean, what else is there left?
00:39:27.020 Here's what's left.
00:39:28.220 Bats.
00:39:28.940 They don't include in the ban.
00:39:31.300 Frickin bats.
00:39:33.380 How is that possible?
00:39:35.460 I'm reading this and I'm like, OK, they're going to get to bats.
00:39:37.700 They're going to get.
00:39:38.540 They didn't get to bats.
00:39:39.360 They didn't get to bats.
00:39:43.140 What does that mean?
00:39:44.100 I mean, this is because I know you had said at one point the initial diagnosis that it came from bat soup made from that particular market.
00:39:52.060 Looks like it was not.
00:39:53.640 It had been ruled out as the actual cause of this thing, right?
00:39:57.220 Yeah, it did not come from that market.
00:39:59.920 Somebody brought it into that market.
00:40:01.660 So it didn't come from a bat, at least.
00:40:04.580 It could have been from bat soup.
00:40:06.560 Right.
00:40:06.720 OK, OK, so someone could have made bat soup at home previously, then brought it to the market after they caught it.
00:40:13.380 Right.
00:40:13.960 And then infected other people who were just like, I don't know.
00:40:16.900 I'm just I've sworn off bat for a long time.
00:40:19.480 I just want turtle soup.
00:40:20.920 OK, so we don't we don't know exactly.
00:40:26.600 You know, it's so weird.
00:40:27.600 It's so weird.
00:40:28.320 You know, it's really frightening is I was doing an interview with a guy who was over in China.
00:40:33.100 And I asked him, I said, so, I mean, what's it going to take to shut down these markets where they're selling bats?
00:40:41.640 And he said, you know, it's not the bat.
00:40:44.020 The bat's getting a very bad name.
00:40:46.160 And I'm like, when did bats have a good name?
00:40:49.240 But he said it's not literally are vampires that have turned into like they're normally sucking blood.
00:40:56.640 I don't know.
00:40:57.060 They turn into these bats.
00:40:58.100 I don't know anybody that likes bats.
00:41:00.440 I mean, I'm up.
00:41:02.100 I'm up at my ranch and I have a bat problem.
00:41:06.700 OK, which is not really a problem.
00:41:09.320 I just don't want them around me.
00:41:11.460 But they eat mosquitoes.
00:41:12.980 They're part.
00:41:13.360 They're important part of the circle of life.
00:41:15.500 They eat mosquitoes, eat bugs.
00:41:16.900 And so it's really good.
00:41:18.260 I just don't want them nesting in my in my house.
00:41:22.760 So they go up in between the boards of my house.
00:41:25.900 And, you know, we heard and I'm like, what the hell is that?
00:41:33.000 I don't I don't know, but I don't like it.
00:41:37.220 OK, we took off the, you know, the cladding of the house and just took off just a little bit just to peek in.
00:41:45.180 It was a sea of thousands of bats, thousands of them.
00:41:50.920 I should post the video of it.
00:41:53.080 They fly.
00:41:54.240 They flew out like it was a scene from Batman.
00:41:58.240 You remember when he's in the well at the very beginning and the bats are like it was like that.
00:42:04.320 And and I'm I'm there with guys who are, you know, you know, 60 years hard living on the farm and guys who flew helicopters in the Gulf War.
00:42:15.260 And they're just like, man, we all were screaming like 12 year old girls.
00:42:21.240 They've never had a good name.
00:42:24.640 Never.
00:42:25.160 Was your mouth just watering when you saw those bats?
00:42:29.720 Oh, I thought just so hungry.
00:42:31.400 Soup is going to be.
00:42:32.040 So anyway, I'm talking to this guy about bats and I'm like, when you know, what's the deal with the bad soup?
00:42:36.180 And he's like, bats get a bad name and it shouldn't have a bad name.
00:42:38.920 It's not the bad.
00:42:39.720 It's these markets.
00:42:41.480 Like, what do you mean is these markets?
00:42:42.820 He said, have you ever been?
00:42:44.120 No, I've never been to a Chinese market where they're selling bats.
00:42:49.800 You don't even you do.
00:42:50.620 That should automatically be something that says to you, don't go in here.
00:42:56.300 So he said, these markets are crazy.
00:42:58.740 He said they they'll have camels and bats and and lizards that you've never seen before and all these different animals.
00:43:06.820 And they're all on cages on top of each other.
00:43:09.900 So, like, they're all pooping on each other and they're all pooping in each other's food.
00:43:16.360 And so that's how these things are mixed.
00:43:19.320 And he's like, they got to do something about these.
00:43:21.800 And I'm like, yeah, they should.
00:43:23.620 They probably should.
00:43:24.980 You know, they probably should close those down.
00:43:27.740 And he said, well, you know, we have those in America.
00:43:32.000 What?
00:43:33.080 Where?
00:43:33.660 What?
00:43:35.000 Where do we?
00:43:35.880 We don't have those in America.
00:43:37.040 He's like, oh, yeah, we've got them in Florida.
00:43:38.860 And, you know, I expect in New Orleans.
00:43:41.320 I mean, if you're going to find something creepy, of course, it's in New Orleans.
00:43:45.680 Right.
00:43:46.700 He didn't tell me that they were in New Orleans, but I'm expecting that they would be in New Orleans.
00:43:51.020 There's one reason why you don't go to New Orleans.
00:43:53.020 You know, they've got some weird, creepy thing and probably a person in the cage underneath the camel, you know, eating its food with camel poop.
00:44:01.280 You don't know.
00:44:02.140 It's creepy.
00:44:02.920 It's New Orleans.
00:44:03.700 But we have them in, like, normal, non-New Orleans-style cities.
00:44:10.900 Really?
00:44:11.560 Yeah.
00:44:11.960 Because don't they have, like, in New York, don't they have that kind of section where they-
00:44:16.400 It's called Chinatown.
00:44:17.940 Is it Chinatown?
00:44:18.800 It's called Chinatown.
00:44:19.440 Where they have, is it, and they have, like, animals kind of just, like, hanging in the windows and stuff.
00:44:25.260 I don't know if you can walk down the streets.
00:44:26.860 Yeah, it's weird.
00:44:27.880 It's just creepy.
00:44:28.560 Chinatown is really weird.
00:44:29.840 In Chinatown, if you're ever on a diet, just go to Chinatown.
00:44:34.060 Because you're like, I'm never going to eat again.
00:44:37.460 Nope, not going to eat now, because it's creepy.
00:44:40.480 But those animals are all dead.
00:44:42.940 Where do we have these, I don't know, weird markets with weird monkey, bat kind of cages all stacked on top of each other in America?
00:44:54.800 We need to find them and suggest that we shut them down.
00:45:00.380 That's a really kind of, you know, I don't know, 12th century idea.
00:45:06.720 Yeah, and they actually call them wet markets, too, which is just a terrible name for what you've just described.
00:45:13.500 Like, I-
00:45:14.360 Just because they're peeing on each other.
00:45:15.920 It's just like, it's like, you know, again, when I say a 12th century idea, I don't mean the cages.
00:45:20.800 I mean, in the 12th century, somebody went around and went, okay, all right, enough.
00:45:24.660 This is unhealthy.
00:45:30.620 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:50.800 Our coronavirus update for Thursday.
00:45:59.240 All of these stats are as of 5.30 a.m. Central Time.
00:46:04.120 Total confirmed cases, 82,585.
00:46:08.680 That's up 1,322 from the 81,000 yesterday.
00:46:15.120 Total deaths are up 114 to 2,814.
00:46:21.960 51 countries now have confirmed cases.
00:46:25.520 That's up from 43 yesterday.
00:46:28.760 Another 13 countries have suspected cases.
00:46:32.780 18% of the active confirmed cases are considered serious or critical, requiring hospitalization or ICU.
00:46:39.980 That is down one percentage point.
00:46:41.740 And there are 60 confirmed cases in the U.S. and zero deaths.
00:46:47.840 Now, as of this morning, we do have 60 confirmed cases here within our own borders.
00:46:53.660 Reports from NBC and other sources indicate tens of thousands of Americans, though, are in self-quarantine at the suggestion or request of local governments.
00:47:04.780 These are all volunteers that are self-sequestering themselves.
00:47:08.500 According to the CDC's own website, however, we have actually only tested 445 people for COVID-19.
00:47:17.640 That's SARS-CoV-2, with the 16 confirmed to have it.
00:47:26.040 So let me say that again.
00:47:28.320 So far, we have only used the test on 445 people.
00:47:34.000 16 have confirmed to have had it.
00:47:36.580 South Korea has tested 37,000 citizens and found 1,766 cases, including 505 new cases since yesterday.
00:47:48.360 It seems the more people they test, the more cases they discover.
00:47:52.940 Italy has tested 22,350 and have found 528 cases.
00:47:59.760 According to the CDC's website and confirmed by NBC News today, the U.S. has only actually tested those 445 people.
00:48:10.840 So about 5% of Americans, if actually tested, may get a confirmation that they have COVID-19.
00:48:21.720 As of this morning, however, only 12 labs in the U.S. are capable of performing positive tests for COVID-19.
00:48:32.740 Now, two days ago, that number was only 5.
00:48:37.480 So that's why we're testing so few people.
00:48:40.880 Now, here's the good news.
00:48:42.540 The good news is, the government is on it and shipping these tests out, and major hospitals have the ability to make their own tests for it.
00:48:52.720 Just nobody has had it yet.
00:48:55.740 The CDC now admits that 47 states and 30 overseas embassies and military bases were sent 55,000 test kits over the last two weeks.
00:49:07.260 But they were all recalled because they were faulty.
00:49:11.480 New kits have been sent and should arrive in all of the U.S. labs and hospitals today or tomorrow, upping testing capacity to over 20 states by this time tomorrow.
00:49:25.140 Other experts are concerned that the CDC's policy has been to only test people who both had risk of exposure, travel to Korea or China, and were showing symptoms, despite the fact that the disease has a 14-plus-day incubation period and is contagious even without the symptoms.
00:49:46.600 President Trump yesterday insisted in his press conference that we are testing everyone who needs to be tested.
00:49:52.980 When asked about the low rate of testing, he said not all experts agree.
00:49:59.160 Now, we have the first community case of coronavirus, meaning one that does not have any connection or known connection to China-related exposure.
00:50:13.040 They've been in the hospital nine days before they were tested.
00:50:16.720 UC Davis Hospital requested a COVID-19 testing kit on 2-19, but it was declined by the CDC.
00:50:26.620 Virologists indicate this makes it virtually impossible now to determine the spread risk because without knowing who is infected, we can't determine who's come into contact with the virus.
00:50:38.200 It's like trying to solve a mystery without having access to any of the clues.
00:50:42.100 Local governments now are monitoring hundreds of suspected cases that have not been formally tested due to the lack of testing kits.
00:50:51.800 Again, those testing kits should be available in 20 states by this time tomorrow and all of the states by next week.
00:51:01.240 Now, there's some very risky misconceptions about the coronavirus that we just don't know yet.
00:51:08.780 Scientists are now warning that there is a very strong misconception because this is the way the flu usually is, but it is not this way in coronavirus.
00:51:20.580 And that serious misconception is that once you've been given the viral infection, you're immune.
00:51:29.680 It's called the chicken pox myth.
00:51:31.740 It used to give people a little bit of the chicken pox, the kids, and it makes you immune.
00:51:38.540 It's why we can create some sort of a shot for a flu shot.
00:51:46.580 Did you get your flu shot?
00:51:47.700 Did you get immunized yet for your flu?
00:51:49.460 Well, we can only create that because once you have it, your antibodies start to grow, and then you have a real resistance post-infection.
00:52:00.240 Unfortunately, that is not true with, what is that?
00:52:06.060 How do you pronounce it?
00:52:06.480 Is it MERS, the M-E-R-S?
00:52:09.800 MERS, yeah.
00:52:10.380 Yeah, MERS disease or SARS-1, where most recovered patients show little antibody response post-infection,
00:52:18.400 and therefore reinfection is, the risk of that is really high.
00:52:22.320 Early studies indicate that reinfection risk with SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is also very high,
00:52:30.340 and the mortality rate for reinfection is as high as 30%.
00:52:35.780 So, if you get it once, and you're reinfected, your mortality rate can go from 1% to 30%.
00:52:46.500 China and Japan today have just confirmed recovered patients are becoming reinfected with COVID-19.
00:52:55.760 The body cannot fight it.
00:52:59.160 Another misconception that, since the risk appears to be relatively low for younger people,
00:53:05.100 you shouldn't worry about any kind of preventive measures.
00:53:08.060 I have always been someone that has spoken up against antibacterial soap, you know,
00:53:14.840 as a regular run course of events in your life.
00:53:18.680 It just weakens your system putting antibacterial soap into your body,
00:53:24.820 because most of the germs you can handle.
00:53:28.220 So, everything, generally speaking, that you touch every day,
00:53:32.580 your body should be strong enough to fight it.
00:53:35.180 And by using antibacterial soap, it makes the bacteria even stronger and your body weaker.
00:53:42.500 However, with that being said, everyone should have antibacterial soap with them,
00:53:48.560 in their purse, in their pocket, on their desk.
00:53:51.180 You should constantly, when you touch something, shake somebody's hands.
00:53:56.000 You should be using antibacterial soap.
00:53:58.720 You should be washing your hands a lot.
00:54:01.780 Now, this dismisses, if you are looking and saying, well, this is just, you know,
00:54:11.780 this is fine for younger people, and I've only got young kids, etc., etc.
00:54:16.960 You have to take the precautions, because you will be a carrier of this.
00:54:23.360 You can pass this disease to higher-risk people, the elderly.
00:54:27.380 It also ignores the risk that this virus will mutate inside of your body.
00:54:33.560 And the more infected people there are, the overall chances go way up
00:54:37.580 that the virus will mutate into something even more deadly.
00:54:41.800 With all of this being said, I want you to remember that this is a flu.
00:54:47.560 We are still fighting the Spanish flu.
00:54:50.860 Every single year, the flu season, you get your flu shot.
00:54:54.880 That is the remnant of the Spanish flu that was introduced in 1918.
00:55:01.980 That was the last pandemic.
00:55:04.700 We hope that this spring, things will start to calm down.
00:55:10.360 But I have news on that coming in just a second.
00:55:13.220 The travel restrictions now.
00:55:15.580 And I urge you, don't cancel your plans until the last minute.
00:55:20.740 I know somebody that was going to Disney World today.
00:55:23.120 They canceled their trip yesterday.
00:55:26.120 You don't know this could get much better in the weeks to come.
00:55:30.200 It could be much worse in the weeks to come.
00:55:32.860 But if you're canceling now, I'll just give you the example.
00:55:37.440 People who canceled their trip to Italy on, what, Monday,
00:55:42.420 they paid a penalty by the next day.
00:55:49.340 What's the name of the airline?
00:55:50.820 Italia Airlines decided that they were going to remove all restrictions.
00:55:56.420 So there are penalties and everything else that will apply now.
00:56:00.580 Wait before you have to go before you make any decisions.
00:56:05.080 Travel restrictions now more than 50 countries have active travel restrictions or warnings to China.
00:56:12.400 More than 20 countries have travel restrictions or warnings to Korea, Japan, Italy, and Iran.
00:56:19.080 Now, there goes my Iran trip.
00:56:21.140 Over 60% of confirmed cases in Europe involve travel to Italy.
00:56:26.040 Eight countries now have closed their borders with Italy.
00:56:30.360 Now, the summer.
00:56:35.080 Summer tends to make the flu season stop.
00:56:41.520 Summer also tends to reduce people clustering indoors out of the cold weather,
00:56:47.840 which likely increases the rate of the spread of viruses and colds.
00:56:53.600 However, scientists warn on this one we don't know yet.
00:56:58.320 With MERS, another coronavirus, that occurred in August and September in the Middle East.
00:57:04.340 That's very hot and very dry.
00:57:06.660 Then the swine flu of 2009, another novel virus, viral infection, another cautionary tale.
00:57:15.660 It spread during summer months because there was no herd immunity.
00:57:20.540 Herd immunity.
00:57:22.220 It's generally the combination of herd immunity, a virus we've faced before and have developed some immunity to, which we don't have.
00:57:33.720 Plus, summer conditions that slow seasonal flu.
00:57:38.740 Summer conditions.
00:57:39.540 We're not gathering indoors.
00:57:41.460 The virus here, this one, when it is exposed to chlorine or bleach, it takes 24 seconds to kill COVID-19.
00:57:55.240 UV rays, it takes two seconds.
00:57:58.320 So, sunlight is the best disinfectant on this.
00:58:02.760 But we don't have, we don't believe, any herd immunity.
00:58:07.700 So, we don't know what is going to happen.
00:58:11.080 You'll be able to get all of the numbers and all of the latest information every day at this time on this broadcast.
00:58:18.440 We will start peeling these off and putting them into our Glenn Beck feed.
00:58:22.760 You'll be able to hear this on the show if you just download Glenn Beck, the Glenn Beck podcast, wherever you get your podcast.
00:58:30.380 But if you get it into our RSS feed, we're also going to try to peel this off so you can have access to this easily every single day.
00:58:38.620 I urge you to listen to it because knowledge is power.
