Hello, podcasters. It's Tuesday. Andrew Cuomo, he's quite possibly the greatest man to ever live.
00:00:09.100
He's come up with a new hand sanitizer, and he's found a way to make it really cheaply.
00:00:16.680
Cheaper than the free market can make it. It's an incredible idea. I don't know why we haven't
00:00:22.520
been doing this. I think Germany tried this out. Mussolini, Stalin. I don't know. China's doing it
00:00:29.920
now, but this time it's going to be different, and we'll tell you about that. Also, coronavirus,
00:00:38.180
hey, if you're 60, I say 56 or older, you should stay home, or should you? Proof that the DNC does
00:00:46.720
not care about its supporters, and in fact, I contend trying to kill all of the presidential
00:00:52.880
candidates in their own party. It's obscene what's happening. All this and so much more
00:01:01.260
on today's podcast. And tonight on Stu Does America, we have an outline of the new Trump
00:01:07.480
policy that I absolutely love. I love this. I really want it to happen. He's going to try to
00:01:12.300
push this through. We'll get into the details on that. If you're on your podcast app, click on over,

00:01:32.200
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:36.280
I think I might have it, Stu. You know, Nathan, who is our second unit, uh, researcher and writer,
00:01:50.100
uh, is, he is, he's home today. Fever. Burning up with fever. Burning up with fever.
00:02:01.360
The tree's burning up or he just has a normal fever? Probably burning up. I was with him all
00:02:06.640
day yesterday. I should go home. What was that? Oh my gosh. It was a fake cough is what that was.
00:02:13.240
I just did it again. It seemed like halfway between a cough and a hiccup. Well, no,
00:02:16.920
because I was gasping. I was, I'm gasping. I cough and then I gasp. Oh, that breathing difficulty
00:02:20.900
is one of the big symptoms. Right? Right? That and the dyslexia thing with numbers. Oh my gosh.
00:02:26.140
I fully support you here. You should go home. You should stay home. Really? You shouldn't come back.
00:02:31.360
Really? You should move to another place. Seriously? A safe place. Is that your serious
00:02:36.420
recommendation? Cause I'm looking for, I'm just looking for the trigger. I have just purchased
00:02:43.100
some land in Mongolia and I am willing to will it to you. That. You just head on over there.
00:02:49.480
Suddenly. No cases. No cases. No. Sounding so great. No government to measure the cases,
00:02:54.020
but no cases in Mongolia. How about Syria? Have you ever been to Syria? Okay. Total confirmed.
00:03:01.180
Worldwide cases. 114,638. That's up about 14,500 from yesterday. Total confirmed deaths
00:03:10.100
up about 204,031. This is really, really good news. Look at that. We are still at 4,000 deaths
00:03:21.140
when the, what was it? SARS came over here? Not SARS. What was the swine flu?
00:03:28.320
How many people here at work here got the frigging swine flu? I just talked to five different
00:03:32.340
people who got the swine flu at this frigging place. Really? I think they're susceptible
00:03:35.680
to disease. You've been hiring people who are susceptible to disease. Oh my gosh. I heard
00:03:40.740
that. That one I heard. Oh my gosh. It's happening. You need to go to Syria. It's, I don't think
00:03:46.180
that's what the CDC. Totally free of the coronavirus. Really? Yeah. They say go, if you can go to a
00:03:49.880
place that has no cases because they're mainly shooting all the people who might get it, you
00:03:55.240
should go there. You won't get it. I should go there. You'll be dead. All right. We, when
00:03:58.880
it came to swine flu, we had 10,000 people death dead in America. The whole world has 4,000
00:04:07.000
people that have died. Does it seem like maybe we're panicking a little bit? I mean, I agree
00:04:13.880
with the precautions because of the free fear of mutation and the fact that we don't have
00:04:20.440
of a vaccine for it yet, but it's still the unknown. That's what we're fighting against,
00:04:25.420
right? It's just, it's we, this whole bunch, this, all this fear is just, we don't know
00:04:31.820
how this ends up yet. We don't know. Is the mortality rate really four or 5%? No, but we
00:04:37.320
don't know that yet. Right. It's not confirmed because we don't have all the cases measured
00:04:42.020
yet. It's most likely every expert says it's going to be probably between a half of a percent
00:04:46.000
and 1%, which is still high compared to the flu, but low compared to where we are now.
00:04:51.160
Everyone thinks that's where it's going to end up, but we don't have that locked down yet.
00:04:54.760
And until we have it locked down, people are going to be freaked out about it.
00:04:58.100
Okay. People are going to freak out more and more because the numbers are going to start
00:05:00.500
going through the roof. Don't worry about that. It's, we're going to be testing more and you're
00:05:06.440
going to see more and more people get it around you. Um, and, uh, you know, unless you are,
00:05:13.400
I think according to the CV, uh, CDC 56 years plus, uh, or you have any kind of complex, uh,
00:05:22.020
you know, health issues, then, you know, then you should probably stay at home anyway, active
00:05:27.420
cases that are considered serious down from 13% to 12%, 4% require ICU. Listen,
00:05:36.440
please, if you were at a big gathering, do not go to the hospital to have your child or
00:05:46.400
you checked. The people in Texas now, what is happening to you, Texas? What is happening
00:05:53.100
to you? Too many damn Californians here. It was happening to you. People are going now
00:05:58.040
into the hospitals here in Texas. Say my kid was at the park last week and had, there was
00:06:03.340
a whole bunch of kids and I want them tested. You can't get the, your kids tested. If they
00:06:09.100
don't have any symptoms, you can't go in and get tested for symptoms and relax on your
00:06:15.100
kids. It hasn't killed a single person under 18, not one outside of China. That's true.
00:06:23.060
I think it's under nine in China, but still it's not, it does not seem to be targeting.
00:06:27.620
It's not. I mean, targeting. Targeting. Holy cow. Doesn't that seem to be affecting
00:06:31.960
children? Did she come up with this? I guess so. Yeah. We now have 33 confirmed cases in
00:06:38.340
the US, four more tracking suspected cases. I think that includes Texas. Yesterday, we
00:06:43.800
found out that there was another one that happened in Texas. This one right by the studios, which
00:06:49.240
I'm telling you right now. Seriously, let me be serious about this. Do you have a trigger
00:06:54.420
where you're like, I got to stay home? I don't, I want to self isolate. I think fever would
00:07:00.640
be a big one. You know, I've been, I've told you I've been sick for, you know, I think allergy
00:07:05.180
sick, but allergy sick for weeks. You have it. You met with the people at CPAC. I was at
00:07:09.880
CPAC. I met with several people. Michael Knowles from the Daily Wire. I did an extended interview
00:07:15.240
with him. Diamond and Silk? I did not see Diamond and Silk. Oh, you didn't? No. I only saw
00:07:20.080
Silk. I don't know. Really? No, I didn't see Diamond or Silk, but I did see Michael Knowles
00:07:24.900
who did a podcast with Ted Cruz. Yeah. Who is self-quarantined right now. Yeah. Yeah. Because
00:07:30.720
he interacted with the guy they know has. I think Sarah Kolk, who's our booker here on
00:07:35.040
this show, she met with Diamond and Silk last week. Hmm. Knows where she is today. Not
00:07:40.280
here. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. That's because she was terrifying everybody in the office. She has
00:07:45.240
the sniffles. And so everyone's running away from her like she's, you know, she has leprosy.
00:07:49.840
Allergies are so bad. It's leprosy! That is where, that, we are not the only ones in this
00:07:56.300
position. I mean, this is happening all over the country. Yeah. We unfortunately stoned her
00:08:00.800
to death yesterday before somebody could step in and say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It was
00:08:04.940
just allergies. She has seasonal allergies, guys. Yeah. So, you know, hey, you lose one from
00:08:10.760
time to time. Exactly. We were just taking the Syria approach. So, we're just, by the
00:08:15.280
way, if you're a booker on another show, you want to work here, we have a sudden
00:08:19.100
opening. Rocks not included. All right. So, the CDC officially recommends now that
00:08:25.680
those over 60 stay at home. Is this true? Well, I'm saying it. You were reading a story
00:08:33.440
from the New York Post, which is a newspaper. Yes. Dr. Nancy Messinger, a senior
00:08:40.740
CDP official. And what did she say? What did she say? What's the quote? She said, quote,
00:08:44.160
having us household items and groceries so you'll be prepared to stay home for a period
00:08:48.080
of time. Okay. Now, does that say stay home for anyone over 60? You know what? I don't
00:08:53.940
think they're actually saying this. So, listen. Give me the exact quote because everything
00:08:58.580
else I have here is not a quote. Every news outlet is saying if you're 60 or older, you
00:09:04.620
need to stay home. And they're all reporting it that way. This is what their actual warning
00:09:09.440
says at the CDC website. 56? You should stay home if you're 56?
00:09:12.860
No! Okay. It says you should stock up on supplies. That means prepare in case you need to stay
00:09:18.060
home. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself
00:09:21.300
and others. Social distancing. When you go out in public, keep away from others who are
00:09:26.700
sick. Limit close contact and wash your hands often. Avoid crowds as much as possible.
00:09:31.180
Here comes... Avoid poorly ventilated space, which this place feels like I'm just closed in.
00:09:36.360
It's 15,000 square feet and 40 foot ceiling. It is. Okay. Avoid cruise travel and non-essential
00:09:43.940
air travel. Okay. Five story roof on this thing. And that is where the ceiling is on this.
00:09:50.720
I feel it's claustrophobic. The walls are closing in. He just turned off his mic. I don't know
00:09:58.360
if you could hear that. He turned off his mic. He was coughing. I'm sorry. You have it.
00:10:02.680
No, I just had some popcorn. So, if you were... And these are all just for people who are
00:10:07.820
at higher risk. Yeah, yeah. So, that is the 60-year-old. I'm at higher risk, too.
00:10:11.220
Or really, 80-year-older. Then it says, during a COVID-19 outbreak in your community, comma,
00:10:19.600
stay home as much as possible. There's four of them in San Antonio.
00:10:23.760
You know what? They actually do define outbreak, which is an outbreak is when a large number of
00:10:34.600
people suddenly get sick. Right. China. Hello. Yeah, but that's not in your community.
00:10:41.700
I am a member of the global community. Seriously, though, Glenn. I am bound and determined to stay
00:10:46.600
home. Glenn, every place is saying this, 60-year-older. This says, during a COVID-19 outbreak in your
00:10:53.060
community, it still doesn't say stay home. It says stay home as much as possible to further
00:10:58.860
reduce your risk of being exposed. Am I wrong on this? I've seen this everywhere, and I have not
00:11:03.520
seen a quote from a CDC person saying, if you're 60, stay home no matter what. They're saying,
00:11:09.660
if there's an outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible. That's something totally
00:11:13.400
different. Okay, let me give you this, because I don't know if you knew this. Patients are confirmed
00:11:20.080
to be shedding the virus via blood, mucus, spittle, and fecal matter. Now, I don't know about
00:11:28.600
you guys, but I think we should stop sharing the fecal matter. Really? Should we stop playing with
00:11:37.420
the fecal matter of other people? I don't know. It doesn't specifically say that.
00:11:42.880
I mean, what is spread by fecal matter? Okay, I think that's just a worse way of saying wash your
00:11:50.980
hands. Is that what that is? I would assume. I would assume so. Can we stop using it? Because
00:11:56.480
nobody's playing with poop except for monkeys. Now, maybe babies. Maybe a baby is really sick.
00:12:02.940
Maybe it is the babies. Notice it hasn't killed any babies. Maybe it is the babies that developed
00:12:10.420
this as a bioweapon, because I have opened the diaper of some of my children when they were younger,
00:12:15.360
and that stuff is biological warfare. That is, I don't, you don't even recognize it. It is not what
00:12:22.660
you put into that child that's coming out. Could be another sequel to Boss Baby, because if you know
00:12:28.200
this, they wear suits, they talk like Alec Baldwin, they're planning all sorts of schemes. If somebody
00:12:32.860
was going to do this, it would be Alec Baldwin. It's fair. It's a fair point. And I believe that's in
00:12:38.320
the CDC analysis as well. Also in the New York Post? Yeah, it's in the New York Post story only.
00:12:45.020
Oh, you got to talk to Justin, because Justin's the guy who writes this, and he's really good. And it
00:12:50.220
wasn't until you said that that I'm looking through all of the highlights, and I'm like, there's
00:12:54.680
nothing in quotes here. Well, this isn't a Justin issue. This is a media issue. If
00:12:58.100
I know, but we got to be better than the media. Maybe there's another quote I'm not seeing in
00:13:01.820
these articles. It's possible. But I've read a bunch of them looking for this particular
00:13:05.860
detail, because, you know, I have relatives who are over 60, and I'm trying to understand
00:13:10.480
what the right advice is. Call Justin and tell him, I want him in my office, and I'm going to
00:13:14.620
cough on him today. Okay? He'll never forget that. He'll never forget. No, he never would
00:13:19.980
forget that. He would never forget that. Okay. Also, Governor Cuomo is now saying that the
00:13:25.500
state of New York is making their own hand sanitizer. He said the product is 75% alcohol
00:13:31.320
compared to the name brand competitor, Perel, which is made of 70% alcohol. So it's great.
00:13:37.160
He says that it also has a very nice floral bouquet. And he said, stop the price gouging,
00:13:43.680
or we're going to make it ourself, because we can make it cheaper. And I just want to point
00:13:48.940
out, yes, slave labor, prison labor camps can make products cheaper, Governor Cuomo.
00:14:00.600
I'm losing my mind on this freaking CDC thing. I can't even listen to what you're saying.
00:14:04.700
Listen to what I'm saying. You never do. CNN. This is how CNN reports this.
00:14:09.440
Amid a coronavirus outbreak in the United States, they're covering the general situation going
00:14:16.880
on. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is encouraging older people and
00:14:20.360
people with severe chronic medical conditions to, quote, stay at home as much as possible.
00:14:25.040
How else would you take that, right? Like, if you're older, you should stay at home as much
00:14:29.480
as possible, right? No, that's not quarantine. Now, what they leave out of that is during a
00:14:34.760
COVID outbreak in your community, comma, stay home as much as possible. Well, yeah, if you have
00:14:41.200
an outbreak in your community, the rules are different. That's what they're saying, right?
00:14:45.920
So you're saying, let me just say this right. You're saying, you're saying like, if you
00:14:51.580
go to the moon, you should wear a space suit. Right. Is different than just saying you should
00:14:57.920
wear a space suit. Yes. You know, you and your journalistic rules just sicken me. More in
00:15:06.740
just a second, including a new study out that is going to boggle your mind. It is just, there's
00:15:15.480
no credibility with the press whatsoever. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck
00:15:25.900
program. Hello, America. We're going to get into some politics here in just a few minutes.
00:15:40.880
We have the latest on the economy and a great idea, a great idea from President Trump, which
00:15:50.640
is why the market is opening up at 923 points. We go to Pat Gray now. I've got some more good
00:15:57.740
news for you, too. Do you? Yeah. Law enforcement has a great tool that none of us have ever heard
00:16:02.720
about, but they're using it. And it's capturing people like crazy. Oh, good. Yeah. It wasn't as
00:16:10.220
fun as you might think for a guy named Zachary McCoy, who was just riding his bike, which he
00:16:16.360
does all the time. And then he got kind of caught up. He was one of the dolphins snapped up in this
00:16:22.520
tuna net. Oh, my goodness. Well, hey, if we have to, if a guilty guy has to go to jail once in a while,
00:16:29.800
you're going to have to kill a few dolphins to get some good tuna. Right. If you're going to have
00:16:34.420
to, if you're going to have to have that innocent person in the electric chair once in a while.
00:16:39.240
Yes. That's what our justice system is based on. I think it is. You have to kill a few completely
00:16:44.160
innocent people and they have to pay the ultimate price. That's OK. As long as everybody else is
00:16:49.400
safe. It's OK. Yes. It's either that's what our system is based on or the exact opposite. I can't
00:16:55.360
remember anymore. Right. I think it's I'm pretty sure it's we what we want to do is trade our
00:16:59.260
freedom for security. That's it. That's it. That way you'll have both. Yeah. Right. I think
00:17:04.420
that's what you'll lose. Neither you'll lose. Neither. Right. That's what he said. Well, you'll
00:17:09.180
be dead and you won't care. Yeah. And you just won't care about freedom. That's why I love it
00:17:15.640
when people say, I don't care if they're looking at me or looking at my information. I do nothing
00:17:21.600
wrong. Yeah. Well, you just don't know what you're doing wrong. Like Zachary. Zachary just out
00:17:27.020
riding his bike and as he always does. And then he got this notification from Google's
00:17:34.240
legal investigation support team. They were writing to let him know that local police had
00:17:40.120
demanded information related to his Google account. Company said it would release the
00:17:44.340
data unless he went to court and tried to block it. You got seven days. Oh, that's
00:17:49.600
plenty. That's a lot of time. He's got a bike already. He could just keep riding until he
00:17:52.940
gets to Google. It's right. So what's the problem? Wait, wait, wait. I don't think I need more
00:17:57.980
than seven. I need more than seven days to understand what they just said to me. That
00:18:01.680
was his problem. He didn't understand what was going on, but he knew he was in trouble
00:18:05.180
somehow. And a hundred percent chance that email goes to your spam folder. Like you're
00:18:09.600
not, you're not, you're not catching that at least for four or five of those days. That's
00:18:12.640
for sure. That's for sure. So he was freaked out. He's like, I know I didn't do anything
00:18:19.260
wrong, but why is Google doing this? And so he went to his parents' house because he
00:18:23.760
didn't know what to do. And, uh, can I say how old is Zachary? 30. Okay. 30. What
00:18:30.980
you do whenever you have some sort of 12 year old, I was riding his bike around. So that's
00:18:36.720
why I asked because, uh, you know, when you're 30 and you have something go wrong with any
00:18:44.580
kind of tech, any tech question, you go directly to your parents, go directly or
00:18:49.520
grandparents might be a good way to go to. Yeah, that's exactly what you do. Well, they
00:18:53.440
took a bunch of money out of their savings account and got him a lawyer and that saved
00:18:56.440
his butt because his lawyer figured out that, uh, Google had done a geofence
00:19:02.240
warrant. It's a police surveillance tool that casts a virtual dragnet over crime
00:19:08.060
scenes, sweeping up Google location data from all devices, from all users in the area
00:19:15.320
of GPS, Bluetooth, wifi, and cell connections from everyone in the area. So like a crime
00:19:23.680
happens at 825 PM on the Maple Avenue. They take everyone from 815 to 840. Yes. Everyone
00:19:31.700
that was even in the area had having no idea whether it had anything to do with a crime
00:19:35.380
or not. And I am trying to understand what problem is here. So this guy, get this. So
00:19:42.420
he's riding around on his, on his bike cause he's an avid biker and his, uh, watch is Apple
00:19:49.360
watch sends the information. I don't know if it's Apple, but they were sending the information
00:19:53.200
to Google about where he was, which happened to drive by this house that had been burglarized
00:19:59.060
and he did it three times. Sounds like vicious killer to me. And he, yes. And that's what
00:20:04.220
they thought. So he was the main suspect for the local authorities and his lawyer, he had
00:20:10.140
to spend tens of thousands of dollars to extract himself. Do you know? And that is, that's
00:20:16.240
another thing you, he has to prove himself innocent. They use that phrase like five times
00:20:23.200
in the article. His, his lawyer said we had to prove his innocence to Google and to the
00:20:27.760
law enforcement. This is insane. It is completely turned American, uh, justice upside down. And
00:20:34.740
here's the good thing. It's a good though. There's more, there's more good. Yeah. The
00:20:39.240
geofence warrants have increased by 1500% from 2017 to 2018. And then by another 500% from
00:20:47.040
2018 to 2019. Thank you. Thank you, Pat. I have a confession. I have a confession. I went
00:20:56.960
out and I bought. I home. I went out and I bought an eye home. Oh, you did? Yeah. Just
00:21:05.760
for not, I'm not connecting it to anything except the internet. I'm not connecting it to my security
00:21:10.660
or anything. And I only have one room in the house, but you are connected to the internet,
00:21:14.660
but I was connected onto the internet on it. Yeah. And I am, cause I've never had Siri.
00:21:20.920
I don't carry a phone. I don't want any of that in my life. I have an iPad. It's the
00:21:26.560
I home. Is that like a, an Alexa type of device? Yeah. It's Siri. It's okay. Hey Siri. Watch
00:21:32.820
this. Hey Siri, play Rachmaninoff's third piano concerto all over America. They're like, what
00:21:41.020
the hell is happening. What's that music? Um, so, uh, uh, uh, so Siri, Hey Siri, disregard
00:21:50.860
what they just told you to do. I'm fascinated by this person that you just depicted. He's
00:21:59.840
just shocked that he's heard it. Siri right now in that house. Like, dude, I got you covered.
00:22:14.980
I knew that wasn't you. Uh, but, uh, and I was just thinking today, I would like to have
00:22:22.640
it cause it is so they're convenient, convenient. It is so easy. And I was thinking, yep. Oh,
00:22:29.560
you know what? I'm just going to got Siri. It is. That's how they've taken it. And I'm
00:22:32.780
telling you, take it away our freedom with it. I've got them. They're in the process of
00:22:36.140
taking her freedom. We have, they're all over the house. We've got the ones with the screens
00:22:40.540
on them. Really? Oh, we have them everywhere. I have a hundred. I'm at the point now where I'm
00:22:45.880
not doing it. I can't say it the word because three or four at once. Yeah. They all stay
00:22:52.560
all talk to me at the same time. I can't get the right one to talk back to me. What do
00:22:55.440
you say? How do you use Alexa? That word. So you just say Alexa. I'm trying to not torture
00:23:00.780
the audience. I don't know why you're trying to, but yes, Alexa. Alexa. Uh, gosh. Define
00:23:07.500
pornography. That's fine. That's a good one. That'll be good. Everyone's like, what? No, no.
00:23:11.160
My kids are having breakfast. What are you doing? Just saying like they really
00:23:14.860
definition. You know it when you see it, right? Right. Am I right? Yes. Am I right?
00:23:19.980
Or am I right? You're right. People don't. So are you going to disconnect it? Is that
00:23:24.000
what you're saying? No. That's the problem. I mean, if they have you, that's the problem.
00:23:29.800
Think of this. Glenn is like the ultimate. Yeah. He was like, uh, cat catastrophist.
00:23:34.920
Don't use Google. It's the only search engine that works. Don't use it. But I bet you use
00:23:39.900
it. Oh, of course I do. Of course. Yeah. Of course I do. It's just good. It is good.
00:23:44.860
They do. It's better. We're not willing to, we're not willing to give up our, our convenience.
00:23:49.740
Right. Nope. And it's, and it's not good. It's not good. It's not good. I'll be the guy
00:23:54.540
in the prison looking at you going, kids don't do what I did. Yeah, absolutely. Listen, don't
00:24:00.800
do it. Yeah. Cause it's, this is frightening. They have. And when, and this is why, uh, what's
00:24:09.940
his name? Zuckerberg is begging for regulation. He wants regulation. What company wants regulation?
00:24:20.020
Think of your own company right now. This thing, if I could get the federal government to give more
00:24:25.100
regulation with more paperwork and more of their noses in stuff, why we just make my, we take the
00:24:32.800
world by storm. Why would you want that? You want that because now you're a partner with
00:24:39.160
the government and you use them to block all of your competitors because they come to you
00:24:45.120
and say, well, what should we do for regulation? Well, I'll tell you what you need to do.
00:24:50.140
Yeah. It's unbelievable how far we've come so fast. I remember back in the two thousands
00:24:54.520
in Houston, people would call and say they're not even getting the toll tags because they don't
00:24:59.260
want to be monitored or, or watched or listened to, or have the government have that information
00:25:04.720
on them. And now we invite all that stuff right into our homes and don't even give it a second
00:25:08.960
thought. And it listens to everything we're doing. Well, they're saying now, and the thing
00:25:12.900
of this people in China, the reports are, uh, from, I mean, can you trust them? All these
00:25:20.240
reporters committed suicide or, you know, all of a sudden disappeared. Uh, but they're, they're
00:25:26.080
all saying that the people in China now are freaked out because the Corona virus things
00:25:31.620
that they put in all the monitoring, not going away. It's not going away. Shocking. Yeah.
00:25:37.420
You mean the government took extra power and is not giving it back after the emergency?
00:25:40.860
Is not giving it back. Oh, did they get an enabling act passed to make sure? Not a problem. Pretty
00:25:46.880
sure there's some history to those. And, and I'm telling you, this is what's going to happen
00:25:50.160
here in America. We are the one thing you have to understand about the Corona virus. And this
00:25:55.160
is this, once you understand this, the two things, a, we're all going to get it. We've
00:25:59.980
all had the pandemic flu of 1918. This is going to be with us now, probably for the rest of
00:26:04.640
our life. And we're going to have to just take vaccines for it when we produce one. Uh,
00:26:09.560
so we're all going to get it. And most of us are not going to die. The vast, vast, vast,
00:26:15.020
vast, vast, vast majority are not going to die. Yeah. Um, and even if you're elderly,
00:26:20.500
you're not going to die. It's if you have extra complications or you are, have a weak
00:26:26.360
system, then you're going to have a problem with it. So that's the first thing. The second
00:26:30.540
thing you need to know is we are 50 days behind China. China is just getting back to work this
00:26:39.220
week. So China's recovering, but we're 50 days away. So we are now at where they were 50 days
00:26:48.360
ago. We should look up the dates to and see where they were because that was, they were
00:26:52.960
still in acceleration and freak out mode. Okay. It will come down and we're 50 days away. So when
00:27:00.500
you, what you're going to see in the next few weeks is this rapid acceleration. See, nobody's
00:27:05.740
taking this seriously. Do you China took it pretty darn seriously. They were welding people
00:27:13.120
in their houses. I mean, I don't know if you can take it any more seriously than they
00:27:18.400
did. And they still had this rapid growth of it. I will say that they were making doctors
00:27:25.580
sign the people who are discovering it, sign confessions that they were just trying to scare
00:27:31.140
the public. Not 50 days away, not, not, not 50 days in, but they're, but they did not take
00:27:36.260
it very seriously at the very beginning. Yeah. That's why they had as many, you know, that's why
00:27:40.700
they had, what was it in the end? 75 million people quarantine or some ridiculous number
00:27:45.360
like that. You know, I hope we're not going to get to that. Italy now just closed the second
00:27:51.640
half. The whole country now is closed. It's incredible. Israel. I got this great story
00:27:56.260
in Israel. I can give you this. Israel just said, geez, how would you, how much would you
00:28:02.000
love to go to Israel right now when they're quarantining everybody who comes into the country?
00:28:06.360
Yeah. You, you go in 14 days, you have to sit there and do nothing. I mean, it's basically
00:28:11.300
no visitors is what you're saying. No visitors. Yeah. So there, I love this story from Israel
00:28:16.960
because it includes, it includes this line here. Uh, the Israeli health minister dismissed
00:28:22.580
reports in the Israeli media that portrayed the declaration as a concession to the United
00:28:27.480
States, making the quarantine universal. So as not to appear to single out a staunch ally
00:28:32.560
of Israel. So what they were saying is, I think, I, I don't know if I completely understand this,
00:28:39.120
but what I read from this is that the Israeli papers were saying, you gotta, you gotta, that
00:28:47.740
America said, you gotta close down everything. So, you know, you look like you're taking it
00:28:53.760
seriously and you're not just, we're not going to pick out, uh, you know, an ally like you and use
00:28:58.620
you as an example, blah, blah, blah in a negative way. Is that what they're saying?
00:29:03.180
I think so. Okay. I think so. Um, the allegation was fake news, according to the health minister
00:29:09.980
one day before announcing the policy, Netanyahu spoke by phone with vice president Pence, who is
00:29:15.200
leading the Trump administration's on coronavirus effort. Um, on Monday, the vice president's office
00:29:20.180
did not respond to a request to comment about the Israeli policy. So they're saying that they're
00:29:25.320
going hardcore because they spoke to Pence and Pence forced them to go hardcore. Uh, the press,
00:29:31.740
this is the briar patch. The press is in right now. Wait a minute. Is Trump taking it too seriously?
00:29:36.860
Not seriously enough. Which one is it? Is he telling people to, uh, listen to Mike Pence or listen to his
00:29:43.680
stupid tweets? They cannot make up their mind on how to deal with Donald, with Donald Trump on this.
00:29:49.960
And it's just agonizing and despicable. But the good news is, Hey, maybe everybody will listen to
00:29:56.600
the press and maybe they'll vote for Bernie Sanders. Cause Hey, all free healthcare, all of it.
00:30:06.800
Hey, it's Glenn. And you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're hearing on
00:30:17.380
this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray unleashed. It's available wherever you download
00:30:22.740
your favorite podcasts. All right, we got to get to politics today. Um, in fact, we have the, uh,
00:30:32.440
we have the Joe Biden cause it looks like Joe Biden is going to be the nominee after today.
00:30:39.460
Um, so we'll get to Joe Biden here in just a second. Uh, first, let me just tell you that
00:30:45.340
Donald Trump, now he wouldn't want this to happen. I mean, nobody wants this to happen, but I'm telling
00:30:52.820
you, I love this idea so much that if Donald Trump were in the room and they said, he's just
00:30:57.400
contracted Corona virus and he's fine. But if anyone gets within six feet of him, they could
00:31:04.280
die. I love this so much. I might have to French kiss him because I just love, I love this idea.
00:31:13.500
Yesterday when he was talking about the economy, he said, there's lots of things we can do. I want
00:31:19.000
to talk to Congress. One of which is getting rid of the payroll tax, but that on a holiday for a while.
00:31:24.220
Yes, please. Mr. President, yes, please. This is something that Ronald Reagan talked about,
00:31:31.140
but didn't do. He said, if you really want to upturn the progressive income tax,
00:31:38.180
you get rid of the payroll tax. And all of a sudden people will go, wait a minute,
00:31:45.300
how much am I making in my payroll, my paycheck now? How much are they taking? And he said,
00:31:51.440
force them to pay it every month. They can't just take it out of the check. No withholdings.
00:31:57.140
You have to pay it. He said there would be a revolution. Mr. Trump, please, President Trump,
00:32:04.080
please. I would campaign or not campaign whatever it takes. You need to do this. This,
00:32:13.540
when you get your paycheck and you have no payroll taxes in it, America's view on what a fair tax is,
00:32:22.940
is going to completely change. Everybody right now, this is the progressives. They always hide
00:32:29.400
things. Everybody now is like, oh, I can't wait. I am so excited. I get money back from,
00:32:33.540
from my taxes. No, that means you overpaid. They give you this little gift at the end to go,
00:32:41.040
see, we're a good government. We're giving you all this money back because you don't notice every
00:32:45.420
two weeks how much they're raping you. So he said, one of the tools that we have to get the
00:32:51.820
economy really going and making sure it's in the hands of little people, not just the big banks,
00:32:56.740
is to suspend the payroll withholding for a while. Please do that. Please. Six months. Just do six
00:33:04.780
months. Six months. No one will ever allow it to go back. No one will ever go back to that.
00:33:12.400
That's interesting. I don't know if you're right on that. That'll be interesting because I think,
00:33:16.620
I don't think they're going to allow him to do it. I mean, I think the Democrats will block it,
00:33:21.160
but go for it, man. Go for it. Because this is the, to me, the most evil tax. It is. That exists in our
00:33:27.740
system. And it was designed by FDR specifically so that social security could,
00:33:33.160
they could never go after it. He wanted to, he wanted to cement a giant program that goes to
00:33:40.500
everyone, a forced government savings program, theoretically, which of course we all know it's
00:33:45.280
not an actual forced government savings program. It's just another welfare program. Yep. And you
00:33:51.260
keep saying, people say, well, wait a minute, I put contributions in there. That's why he called
00:33:55.040
them contributions. He wants, he didn't call it a tax. He called it contributions behind the
00:34:00.300
articles or listen to this quote. This is what he told his advisor. We put those payroll
00:34:03.980
contributions there as so as to give the contributors a legal, moral, and political
00:34:08.940
right to collect their pensions and their unemployment benefits. With those taxes in
00:34:13.200
there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social security program. Those taxes aren't a matter of
00:34:18.800
economics. They're straight politics. End quote. That it was exactly what he did. And to me,
00:34:26.020
the worst part about it is, and I don't know why Democrats don't get on board with this. They
00:34:29.280
should. It's a regressive tax. Someone who makes $30,000 a year pays a higher percentage of their
00:34:36.980
income than someone who makes a million dollars a year. That is not the, it's not even the, it's not
00:34:42.340
even a progressive tax. It's the reverse of that. But remember, that is because it was just to cover
00:34:47.440
social security and everybody gets the same payment. Right. And so why should the wealthy man pay
00:34:53.600
more? Oh, because now he's got to carry everybody. Yeah. And that's what the thing I think that a lot
00:34:59.540
of, uh, a lot of us miss at times, which is the welfare program where evil rich people pay for poor
00:35:07.420
people to have things is a government, a bloated government system. There's millions of problems
00:35:12.680
with it. Far worse than that is the universal program that everyone is involved in. No matter what
00:35:19.980
you're forced to contribute to your own retirement. And then if you're Bill Gates, you can still get
00:35:26.900
benefits from this program. And, and, and of course, obviously it gives out to everybody more than they
00:35:34.460
put in, uh, on average, it's almost, it's more than double what you're putting in. So of course the
00:35:40.360
system doesn't make any sense anyway. And then it's locked in as this massively popular program
00:35:46.360
because everyone thinks that they're a big part of the system. They're contributing to it. It's not
00:35:50.640
what it is. It's just another welfare program, except everyone gets it. Even if you're rich,
00:35:54.280
everyone who is going, everyone who is going to a Trump rally, everyone who has one of them Twitter
00:36:01.120
machines, get on it now, tweet the president, please, Mr. President, the greatest idea you've ever
00:36:08.920
had 100% support on suspending the payroll tax because of the Corona virus, you will never get
00:36:18.980
it back. Never. And we'll have a real conversation about progressives and their taxes. Please, Mr.
00:36:27.420
President, it's, it'll, it'll just, it'll help the little guy. It will legitimately. It's much better
00:36:36.400
than cutting the rates of the income tax. It helps people. They all have to pay it from dollar one.
00:36:40.940
I love it. People who are making 15,000 a year, 20,000 a year, get, get them off of that tax. It's
00:36:46.020
completely unfair. Yeah. You know what? As Rahm Emanuel once said, oh boy, never let a crisis go to
00:36:51.880
waste. Yes. And never let a, this is, he's the only president that would actually do this on the
00:36:58.000
Republican side, that he would take a crisis like this and say, oh, because it will help people. It will
00:37:05.640
legitimately help, but it will also, it will be the biggest move against progressives since FDR.
00:37:14.920
And please. I mean, you want to go in the history books? This is it. And kill it for all time. Kill it.
00:37:19.180
Kill this awful tax. Kill it. Kill it. Don't even, don't just give it a rest. Don't put it in prison.
00:37:24.900
Kill it. Okay. Let's go to a Bernie Sanders update. Bernie Sanders, of course.
00:37:30.160
This doesn't seem like very uplifting. Yeah. Bernie Sanders, uh, comrades, an update for you on, uh, how
00:37:40.360
he's faring in the great state of Michigan. You know, and when he was in with Michigan with Hillary
00:37:45.940
Clinton, uh, it, it showed him doing really, really well. He won that state. Now he's not winning that
00:37:55.120
state. Is that because, you know, you could afford a protest vote. You didn't want Hillary Clinton,
00:38:01.600
but you just thought she was going to win. Now, now that you think, well, Bernie Sanders could be
00:38:07.520
the guy who's like, ah, no, no, not him. No, he was a protest. He was a vote against Hillary to send
00:38:14.260
a message. We don't really want him. What's happening in Michigan and what's expected to happen today?
00:38:19.960
Well, Michigan coming into today, by the way, Biden leads by about 80 delegates, which isn't an
00:38:24.800
insurmountable, uh, margin. However, the calendar looks really good for Joe Biden. The big Bernie's
00:38:32.020
last stand today. Politically, not necessarily in any other way. That's true. Checking off those
00:38:38.120
jades, X and I'm peeling off the pages of that calendar. There goes another one. Yeah. Um,
00:38:43.100
the polling has been fantastic for Biden since really Nevada. It started there. It went into
00:38:48.860
South Carolina. He completely dominated super Tuesday in a way that nobody foresaw. I mean,
00:38:54.680
even Biden's campaign couldn't have possibly imagined they did as well as they wound up doing
00:38:59.260
on super Tuesday. Um, and so in Michigan, which was supposed to be a really strong Bernie state,
00:39:05.800
he wanted against Hillary last time. He is now projected to lose pretty badly there. And if that
00:39:11.680
does happen, I think this is over. Cause I think this is Bernie's firewall. This is his South Carolina.
00:39:16.200
He's supposed to be able to do well in, in places where labor unions have always dominated,
00:39:24.200
where, you know, socialism has always kind of been a thing up North. It's been good. He's,
00:39:31.840
he doesn't perform well in the South up North. He's supposed to perform well.
00:39:36.460
Yeah. This is supposed to be one of his big States. Correct. And he's now projected to lose
00:39:39.940
at 59 41 is the prediction at five 38. They're, they're saying though, what's remarkable is they
00:39:45.320
say a 99% chance that Joe Biden wins. Now you might say, well, I, wait a minute. I remember
00:39:50.600
Hillary Clinton had a 99% chance. Well, first of all, she never did from five 38. Um, I believe
00:39:55.800
they had him at, had Trump at a 30% chance, something like that 30% chance to win. And, uh,
00:40:02.380
he wound up, uh, obviously winning, but a 99% chance, pretty rare that something like that
00:40:06.760
would happen. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Let me just give you an update on this.
00:40:29.280
Uh, it looks like there's more problems for Joe Biden and FB, the FBI just raided a healthcare
00:40:35.820
business connected to vice president's younger, the vice president's younger brother and former
00:40:41.960
business partners. And they, uh, their legal complaints saying that they, um, these business
00:40:48.220
partners and vice president Biden's brother was transferring illegally funds. Um, the report
00:40:55.560
was filed January 30th FBI raid of healthcare business. Um, and, uh, and it's, it's going to be
00:41:03.420
a problem for the vice president. The FBI raided a healthcare business linked to Joe Biden's brother
00:41:09.760
in late January, seizing boxes of documents, the raid of an AmeriCorps health hospital represented
00:41:16.980
a deepening of the legal morass surrounding James Biden's recent venture into healthcare investing
00:41:22.740
at a time when the questions about his business dealings of Joe Biden's relatives and their alleged
00:41:27.400
connection to the former vice president's public service continue to dog his campaign.
00:41:31.660
In the week since the raid, two small medical firms that did business with James Biden have
00:41:36.800
claimed in civil court proceedings to have obtained evidence that he have, he may have fraudulently
00:41:41.900
transferred funds from AmeriCorps outside of the ordinary course of business. Oh, really?
00:41:49.760
And it looks like James Biden had half a million dollars transferred to him from the firm as a personal
00:41:55.400
loan that has not yet been repaid. This vice president is such a dog. This is just, this is a dog of a
00:42:05.780
candidate and people are so busy avoiding, uh, Bernie Sanders. Now they just don't, they just don't want
00:42:13.720
him to win and they will take anything or anybody at this point. The blaze radio network on demand.
