The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guest： Nick Di Paolo ｜ 3⧸11⧸20

00:00:00.000 Hey, podcasters, welcome to today's program. There's a lot. We talk about politics and we

00:00:04.240 start really in Italy with a doctor and actually I think it is a doctor or an emergency room

00:00:10.900 specialist to different people telling people what it is like in Italy if you're working in

00:00:18.600 the health care system. And if you understand what they were saying, you will see why everybody's

00:00:24.900 saying stay home. It's about overwhelming the system. It's not about everybody dying. We have

00:00:30.160 lots on that. We have Nick DiPaolo on today. Stu gives us a wrap up of everything political that

00:00:35.880 you need to know. And the possible canceling of the rest of the primary. What? All that and more

00:00:44.540 on today's podcast. And tonight on Blaze TV at 8 p.m. Eastern is of course Stu Does America. We're

00:00:50.080 going to be looking into why Bernie failed because that's basically what he did. And

00:00:55.060 after that is the big show. 9 p.m. The big special. Coronavirus. Some of all fears. All

00:01:01.200 the latest you need to know. That is on Blaze TV tonight at 9 p.m. with Glenn Beck. He's

00:01:06.920 a host that we employ for some reason. BlazeTV.com slash Glenn. Promo code is Glenn for saving

00:01:15.040 10 bucks. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. All right. Our coronavirus

00:01:35.840 update. Coronavirus update today as of 530 a.m. Central Time. All these stats are from Johns

00:01:47.720 Hopkins. The total confirmed cases worldwide now 126, 611. That is up from 114,000 yesterday.

00:01:58.400 Total confirmed deaths worldwide up about 200. Patients that have recovered from COVID-19

00:02:05.820 worldwide. 66,894. 120 countries now have confirmed cases. That's up from 115 yesterday. And yet

00:02:16.600 six new ones have come online with suspected cases. The good news is the number of people

00:02:23.900 that have this that are requiring hospitalization and 4% of them requiring ICU continues its steady

00:02:33.860 drop. It had hovered at about 19 percent. So about 20 percent of people who got this needed to be

00:02:40.100 hospitalized. That number today stands at 12 percent. That's really good news. But this is the key to

00:02:49.200 understanding what the conflict that you're hearing in messages. Some people say it's nothing to worry

00:02:54.560 about. Some people say it's just like the flu. Here's what you need to understand.

00:02:58.700 12 percent of the population that gets this will need to be hospitalized. We don't have room in our

00:03:08.160 hospitals for 12 percent of the population, especially if we're all tongue kissing each other at a

00:03:14.580 Grateful Dead concert. That's why they're saying stay home. It's not that you're going to die. It's that

00:03:21.760 we're killing the resources and in some cases, quite literally the doctors who are going to be able to

00:03:28.960 treat in in Italy. I started the program. If you missed it, make sure you listen to the podcast

00:03:35.400 today. You can find it wherever podcasts are found. But listen to the podcast. I read two stories from

00:03:40.840 doctors that rolled the dice and took the chance of speaking out that are absolutely terrifying of what

00:03:47.800 the conditions are like now in Italy. Italy has the highest population of elderly in all of Europe.

00:03:55.720 That's why Italy is being hit so hard. And anybody who says, well, it's just old people. Really? You're 0.87

00:04:01.740 going to be old one day. Just old people. When you read what the doctors were talking about, how the

00:04:12.300 doctors and nurses are doing everything they can to save people, but they can't. They're turning

00:04:17.280 people away who have had strokes. Patients who are on kidney dialysis are losing their lives because

00:04:24.700 of this. They can't do anything else but care for those who are now in ICU. And ICU is now pretty

00:04:33.180 much the whole hospital. This is what's happening in Italy. And this is why we're shutting everything 0.96

00:04:40.860 down. And they say, don't spread it. Stay at home. Even though the numbers are looking better every

00:04:48.840 day, we are about to get hit with a tidal wave of new cases. You're going to know people that have

00:04:56.760 this. You're most likely going to have to stay at home. There's going to come a time where your kids

00:05:03.700 are not going to school and they may not go to school for the rest of the year. Why aren't we

00:05:09.920 just closing down that human Petri dish for virus, which is every school in America? Why don't we just

00:05:17.680 shut them down? Because about 44% of our population, they don't have the insurance or the system at their

00:05:28.280 work that they can go home and work from home or go home and get paid. When you have that issue,

00:05:36.140 it becomes a massive burden on those families to have the kids at home. We'll hire a babysitter. Who?

00:05:45.420 Who?

00:05:48.040 The U.S. now has 1,015 confirmed cases and 31 deaths. We are going to see that number of the confirmed cases

00:05:56.520 skyrocket soon. As I said earlier in the program, we are about 50 days from where China was. We're 50

00:06:06.660 days behind them. I gave you the headlines 50 days ago in China and it sounds like the headlines today

00:06:14.260 in America. This is going to calm down, but we are in, I think, a 50, 60 day period before we really

00:06:25.440 start to see this thing turn the other direction. New news that I have heard today. I'm waiting for

00:06:33.180 I'll give it to you tomorrow after we get confirmation on it. It's good news, by the way.

00:06:37.980 I just want to make sure that we are confirmed on this. All right. New Rochelle, New York

00:06:43.440 has now just put a one mile containment zone by the National Guard in place. New Rochelle is the

00:06:52.400 largest cluster of confirmed cases in the U.S. with over 190 suspected cases and 61 confirmed

00:07:00.400 cases. This is right on the edge of New York. All public gatherings have been ordered to be

00:07:06.080 canceled, including school and church gatherings. Governor Cuomo has said this is not a quarantine.

00:07:13.680 Individuals are not prohibited from entering or leaving the area. National Guard troops will be

00:07:19.260 used to help deliver food to residents, provide traffic control and medical personnel and emergencies

00:07:24.680 and to assist in cleaning and disaffecting public places. The New Rochelle superintendent of schools

00:07:30.940 announced that for the next two weeks, students may miss and summer school classes will be utilized to

00:07:36.540 make up any missed instruction. Meanwhile, colleges and universities all over the country are starting

00:07:43.660 to say as in Cambridge yesterday. You've got five hours. Get your stuff. Get out. All classes now are

00:07:52.640 starting to be moved online. American lives are going to change. We this is according to doctor. How do you

00:08:02.360 say his name? Fat Fat Foschi F-A-U-C-I Foschi. He's the he is the director of the National Institute of

00:08:11.220 Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He's one of the guys on the Mike Pence team. He said we'd like the

00:08:15.720 country to realize that as a nation, we can't be doing the kinds of things we were doing just a few

00:08:20.460 months ago. It doesn't matter if you're in a state that has no cases or just one case. This is the big

00:08:27.760 thing that I am trying to get a handle on what the tripwires are. I'm looking for tripwires in my own

00:08:35.660 life. No one is telling us, but you know, the governments have some sort of tripwire because

00:08:42.720 they're all closing things. I just don't know what the milestones are that you have to hit before they

00:08:50.000 start closing things. It may be I can't find the official tripwires because there are no official

00:08:55.920 tripwires. It's just somebody going, you know what, let's close them now. I'd like to know what those

00:09:02.720 are. We can't find them yet. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar says the biggest

00:09:09.600 intervention should be reserved for areas with clusters of cases such as Santa Clara, California.

00:09:16.060 He echoed federal health officials advice for people at higher risk. He said, I encourage any

00:09:22.000 individual who is elderly or who is medically fragile to think long and hard about going into

00:09:27.320 any large gathering that would involve close quarters and potential spread. I personally think

00:09:32.620 this is why Bernie Sanders is canceled last night. I don't think it has anything to do with how the

00:09:39.300 election turned out last night. I think it has everything to do with Bernie Sanders being a prime

00:09:46.440 case or a prime target for something like the coronavirus. The same could be said for Joe Biden.

00:09:54.240 I think it would be very prudent if all of these all of these things stopped dead in their tracks. I feel for the

00:10:05.880 president because the president is the only safe space I think he feels he has. It's the only place in watching

00:10:14.260 him speak at CPAC. To me, I understood him so much more and watching the way he observed the audience and the

00:10:24.040 watching the way he was interacting with the audience. I think this is the only place that he

00:10:30.720 feels like he's in a safe space. He knows that the media is going to attack him, but he feels like

00:10:35.980 those large crowds are his friends. And I think those people in those crowds feel like they're his

00:10:41.160 friends. I think it's quite clearly his favorite part of the job. I think so, too. Right. I think

00:10:45.920 about, you know, a rock star like they got to sit in the studio all this time. They've got to sign

00:10:50.660 records. They got to go into meetings about promotion and then they get to play live.

00:10:55.360 And that's what they love. Right. And that's what Trump loves. And I don't but I don't think I think

00:10:59.220 it's deeper than that. It's not that he just loves to do that because I think he does. He loves that.

00:11:03.480 But I think it's the only place. Imagine playing in clubs where everybody was like, oh, geez,

00:11:09.500 they're coming back up on stage. These guys suck. And then you go to your hometown and you're playing 1.00

00:11:15.020 where everybody loves you. I think that's a big difference with Donald Trump. Yeah. But

00:11:20.960 these guys, we have to protect the president. And I think Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden should

00:11:29.920 seriously consider how they're doing their rallies. It's going to hurt the election. But speaking of

00:11:37.020 hurting the election, could you please write down, Stu, as we go through the election, what the

00:11:40.880 Republicans and the Democrats, what Republicans have already done and the Democrats are thinking

00:11:45.120 about doing on the upcoming primaries? Coronavirus conference in New York.

00:11:53.800 Let me say this again. The coronavirus conference in New York.

00:12:01.560 Was just canceled. Doctors spec because of the coronavirus. Doctors speculate that

00:12:08.580 the reason why the case for the case fatality rate in Italy is so high is because of age. Italy has

00:12:18.160 the highest confirmed case count outside of China. The fatality rate is over 5% of total cases compared

00:12:25.140 to just 3% in China. It's because Italy has the oldest population in Europe with 23% of the

00:12:32.180 population over the age of 60 compared to 18% in the U.S. 23 versus 18. Italy's median age is 43.5 compared to

00:12:43.800 38.3 in the U.S. They have tested more than 40,000 residents for COVID-19. And the fatality rate may

00:12:53.100 actually be closer and more accurate than it is in the U.S., at least for Italy, because we are not

00:13:01.480 testing enough people yet. If we assume that there's a 1% case fatality rate for COVID-19

00:13:10.700 and a full year of spread as we would get with the flu season, 60% of the U.S. population will get sick.

00:13:19.620 60% of the population will get sick. Now you compare that to the worst years of World War II and the

00:13:28.260 Vietnam War in terms of U.S. deaths that year. In 1944, the U.S. population was 130 million. Combat deaths,

00:13:38.840 126,000. 1968, the population was 205 million. Combat deaths, 16,000. 2020, 331 million Americans

00:13:56.020 today. U.S. combat deaths, 120. Now if you compare those, the flu deaths, flu deaths, the

00:14:08.540 World War II combat, 126,000. Flu deaths, 13,000. If it was COVID-19 today, 780,000. There were only in

00:14:23.480 Vietnam, there were only 16,000 deaths in 1968 from Vietnam. There were 20,000 flu deaths. We're

00:14:32.400 talking 1.3 million deaths in 1968 comparison. Today, 2020, 331 million. The combat deaths, 120. Flu

00:14:45.280 deaths, 33,100. This could take 1,986,000 Americans. We don't know yet. But if this plays out at 1%

00:15:00.120 and it doesn't have the seasonal flu break, that's what we possibly could be facing. That overwhelms

00:15:09.820 every system we have. And I know this audience knows what overwhelming the system means.

00:15:17.200 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:34.160 I want to, I want to read a couple of things, um, that were Twitter threads and they are sweeping

00:15:42.660 the world. And it gives you an idea of what it feels like and what we are facing. You know,

00:15:52.860 I've been saying for the last few days, we're about 50 days behind China. And it's, it's not that it's

00:16:00.780 getting worse around the world. China is now recovering and all going back to work. We are 1.00

00:16:06.720 behind China. So now what are we going to face? I'm going to give you one of my, uh, one of my, uh,

00:16:14.580 researchers and writers went back, was listening to the show and went, well, let me look at that.

00:16:20.540 Went back and put everything in a calendar from 50 days ago. And when you start looking at the

00:16:27.020 headlines out of China from 50 days ago, we are exactly there. So we are about to go through this

00:16:33.620 giant ramp up. Do not panic, but, but please do the things that you're supposed to do. We are

00:16:42.540 supposed to wash our hands all the time. We're supposed to not touch our faces all the time.

00:16:46.860 Um, uh, we are to, uh, stay out of big crowds, isolate yourself if possible, do those things,

00:16:55.060 please do those things. Because when I read what these doctors and nurses are talking about in Italy,

00:17:02.400 you will understand why the government is now saying, do these things. You'll understand why for

00:17:09.280 the first time we are isolating ourself. And it's not because we're all going to die. It's because

00:17:15.960 no matter what system you have, nothing is prepared for this. Let me give you the first thread

00:17:24.220 from a well-respected friend and in intensive care nurse, uh, who is currently in Northern Italy.

00:17:31.740 Here's the thread. I feel the pressure to give you a quick personal update about what's happening

00:17:38.520 in Italy and give you some direct advice about what you should do. First, I'm in the most developed

00:17:46.700 region in Italy and it has extraordinarily good healthcare. I've worked in Italy, the UK and

00:17:54.000 Australia and don't make a mistake to think what's happening is in a third world country. It's not

00:18:00.780 the current situation. Again, from Italy, the current situation is difficult to imagine.

00:18:07.160 And the numbers don't explain things at all. Our hospitals are overwhelmed by COVID-19 and they

00:18:14.380 are running at 200% capacity. We've stopped all routine. All ORs have been converted to ITUs. What's

00:18:24.940 an ITU? You know, still look that up real quick. I think that is, you know, kind of an elected thing.

00:18:30.320 They are now diverting or not treating all other emergencies like trauma, like strokes. There are

00:18:38.120 hundreds of PTs with severe respiratory failure and many of them don't have access to anything above

00:18:45.000 a reservoir mask. Yeah. Intensive treatment unit. Okay. So what they're doing now is they're not

00:18:51.360 able to treat. You come into the hospital with a stroke. You might as well have stayed home and

00:18:58.060 taken some aspirin because they can't treat you because everything is overwhelmed. Hospitals at 200%

00:19:06.720 capacity. Patients above 65 or or younger with comorbidities are now even assessed by or are not

00:19:19.160 even assessed by ITU. I'm not I'm not saying not tubed. I'm saying not assessed with no ITU staff to

00:19:28.740 attend when they go into cardiac arrest. Staff working as hard as they can, but they are starting to get

00:19:36.320 sick and emotionally overwhelmed. My friends call me in tears because they see people dying in front

00:19:42.460 of them and they can only offer them some oxygen. Ortho and pathologist are being given a leaflet

00:19:48.900 and sent to see patients on NIV. Please stop. Read this again and think. What's NIV, Stu? We also see

00:19:59.700 the same pattern in different areas a week apart and there is no reason that in a few weeks it won't be

00:20:04.860 the same everywhere. This is the pattern. One, a few positive cases. First few mild measures. People are

00:20:13.200 told to avoid the emergency department but still hang out in groups. Everyone says not to panic. Two, some

00:20:22.680 moderate respiratory failures and a few severe ones that need to be intubated and tubed. But regular access to

00:20:30.960 the emergency department is significantly reduced so everything looks great. Three, tons of patients

00:20:38.400 with moderate respiratory failure that over time deteriorate to saturate ICUs first, then NIVs,

00:20:46.860 then CPAP hoods, then even just oxygen. Four, staff gets so sick that it gets difficult to cover for

00:20:55.220 shifts. Mortality rates spikes from all other causes that can't be treated properly. Ten, everything

00:21:02.320 about how to treat people is online but the only thing that will make a difference are these. Don't

00:21:08.880 be afraid of the massively restrictive measures to keep people safe. If governments won't do this,

00:21:15.560 at least keep your family safe. Your loved ones with a history of cancer or diabetes or any transplant

00:21:21.880 will not be tubed even if they're young. By safe, I mean do not attend them and you decide who does

00:21:32.540 and how to help them. Another typical attitude is to read and listen to people saying things like this

00:21:39.840 and that. That's a bad dude. Then they go out to dinner because you think you'll be safe. We've seen

00:21:45.780 it. You won't be. Take it seriously. It won't be as bad, hopefully, as it is here, but you must

00:21:53.540 prepare. All right. NIV, a non-invasive ventilation. Okay. So, um, this, I just got this morning, this,

00:22:04.440 this, uh, thread from this nurse. This one is from a doctor and I, I really want you to listen

00:22:14.640 to what he's saying here. Um, because I want you to put yourself in the situation

00:22:22.520 as it is in Italy. Italy is second only to China, but they think Italy is second only to China

00:22:31.820 because of the age of the people that are there. One, I may be repeating myself, but I want to fight

00:22:41.780 this sense of security that I see outside of the epicenters as if nothing was going to happen

00:22:47.640 here. The media in Europe are reassuring. Politicians are reassuring, but there is little to be reassured

00:22:54.700 of. Now, this is a doctor who actually attached his name to this. The other guy did not attach his

00:23:02.140 name to it. This guy has, this is the English trans, uh, uh, translation of an ICU physician

00:23:11.220 in Italy. After much thought about whether I should or what to write about what's happening to us,

00:23:20.460 I felt silence was not responsible. I will therefore try to convey to people far from our reality, 0.90

00:23:27.720 what we are living in, in Bergamo in these days of COVID-19 pandemic. I understand I need not to

00:23:37.440 create panic, but when the message of the dangerousness of what is happening is not reaching

00:23:44.520 people, I shudder. I watched myself with some amazement, the reorganization of the entire hospital

00:23:54.580 in the last seven days. When our current enemy was still in the shadow, the wards slowly emptied.

00:24:03.720 Elective activities elsewhere were interrupted. Intensive care freed up to create as many beds

00:24:10.380 possible. All of this rapid transformation brought an atmosphere of silence and surreal emptiness to the

00:24:17.220 corridors of my hospital that we did not yet understand. We just waited for a war that had 0.93

00:24:24.500 yet to begin. And many, including me, were not so sure it would ever come with such ferocity.

00:24:32.280 I still remember my night on call a week ago when I was waiting for the results of a swab.

00:24:38.000 When I think about it, my anxiety over one possible case seems almost ridiculous and unjustified.

00:24:45.900 Now that I've seen what's happening. Well, the situation is now dramatic to say the least.

00:24:51.200 Now remember, that was his attitude seven days ago. The war has literally exploded and battles are

00:25:00.240 uninterrupted day and night. But now that need for beds has arrived in all of its drama.

00:25:07.360 One of the one after the other, the departments that have been emptied fill up at an impressive pace.

00:25:14.200 The boards with the names of the patients or different colors, depending on the operating

00:25:19.940 unit are now all red. And instead of surgery, you see diagnosis, which is always the damn same 0.93

00:25:27.820 bilateral interstitial pneumonia. Now explain to me which flu virus causes such a rapid drama. 0.95

00:25:37.940 And while there are still people who boast about not being afraid by ignoring directions protesting

00:25:44.980 because their normal routine is temporarily put in crisis, the epidemiology disaster is taking place

00:25:51.340 and there are no surgeons, urologists, orthopedists. We are all only doctors who suddenly have become

00:25:58.380 part of a single team to face this tsunami that has now overwhelmed us. Cases are multiplying.

00:26:05.360 We arrive at the rate of 15 to 20 admissions per day, all for the same reason. The results of the

00:26:12.500 swab now come one after another, positive, positive, positive. And suddenly our emergency rooms are

00:26:19.560 collapsing. Reasons for the access, always the same. Fever and breathing difficulties, fever and cough,

00:26:27.360 respiratory failure. Radiology reports, always the same. Bilateral pneumonia, bilateral pneumonia,

00:26:36.900 bilateral pneumonia. All need to be hospitalized. Someone already waiting to be intubated

00:26:46.200 and go to intensive care. For others, it's too late. Every ventilator has become like gold.

00:26:53.600 Those in operating theaters have now suspended their non-urgent activity just to become intensive care

00:27:01.600 doctors in places where they did not exist before. The staff is exhausted. I see the tiredness on the

00:27:10.740 faces that I didn't know what it was, despite the fact that we were all working exhausting workloads.

00:27:18.200 But I saw the solidarity of all of us who never failed to go to our internist colleagues and asks,

00:27:26.000 what can I do for you right now? Doctors who move beds and transfer patients. The administrator that it gives

00:27:34.600 therapies instead of nurses. Nurses with tears in their eyes because they can't save everyone.

00:27:40.640 And the vital parameters of the several patients at the same time that all reveal

00:27:48.640 an already marked destiny. There are no more shifts. There are no more hours. Social life is suspended

00:27:58.960 for all of us. We no longer see our families for fear of infecting them. Some of us have already

00:28:05.380 become infected despite all of the safety protocols. That's from one of the leading doctors in one of

00:28:15.520 the best areas of Italy. What's coming here may be the same. What's coming here, you must not panic.

00:28:29.520 You must do what the CDC is telling us to do. Self-isolate if you can. Work from home if you can. Don't go out

00:28:44.680 if you can. We're struggling with schools right now. People are thinking that schools are a trip line,

00:28:52.600 that when the school is canceled, well, then that'll be different.

00:28:59.520 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:14.680 Well, our election coverage continues now as we kick it into high gear. We have all of the stats

00:29:20.980 and analysis from Mr. Steve Bregeer coming up in just a minute, otherwise known as Stu,

00:29:25.980 our executive producer who loves to crunch the numbers. But we also have Nick DiPaolo who is

00:29:31.560 joining us now. And Nick, I know you just couldn't get enough of what was happening last night with the

00:29:38.240 with the election. I'm sure I love, you know, Biden's everything that the Trump hate is accused

00:29:46.880 Trump of being. He's not fit to be president mentally. He he told the woman to shush after he 0.93

00:29:54.060 told that guy's full of s. He told the woman to shut. I know he's a he's a misogynist. He's a 0.99

00:30:01.420 plagiarizer. He's an angry old white guy. And he's everything that they remember what he said about 1.00

00:30:07.600 Obama being eloquent and clean. And he made jokes about Indians at gas stations. He's everything

00:30:13.600 that they say Trump is. May I just say, if you're watching the blaze TV, you might have noticed that

00:30:20.680 you seem to have Nick a Kim Jong Un's head on a pike next to you is. Oh, I put this up when we do 1.00

00:30:30.620 Corona news. I know it's the wrong country, but close enough for my fans.

00:30:36.180 Oh, my gosh. He's coughing. Oh, my gosh. He's coughing. Yeah. Coronavirus panic. Last time you

00:30:46.860 have me on, I'm like, oh, they're just blowing this out of proportion. Now I'm a little bit of

00:30:50.060 a bully. Everybody's panicking about Italy. I mean, the average age is 78 in Italy. All they do is kiss 0.51

00:30:54.860 and hug when they meet. Right. That's no surprise. Right. The Chinese invented pasta. I don't know how 0.99

00:31:00.920 that fits him, but come on. I will tell you that what's happening in Italy, people don't understand

00:31:06.060 why it's necessarily taking Italy by storm by storm. Italy is the oldest population in all of Europe.

00:31:13.100 And that's right. This is hitting the older populations really, really, really hard.

00:31:19.760 But what you're seeing today, we went over some of the the doctors that have come out and said,

00:31:26.160 let me describe the situation here. It is truly frightening, Nick. I mean, there are,

00:31:30.920 they're saying, if you have a stroke, don't come to the hospital. You have a heart attack,

00:31:34.460 we can't help you. Well, they're just preparing us if Bernie gets in. That's how health care is.

00:31:40.780 It's the same thing, although he's not going to get in. But I'm getting mixed signals, Glenn. I'm not

00:31:45.840 that nervous. I can't get nervous over a pandemic that can be cured with Purell and washing your hands.

00:31:52.220 You know what I mean? I'm not that nervous. If you're in your late 80s, you know, stay where you are.

00:31:58.260 It's not like they're out there partying anyways. But how is this worse?

00:32:02.040 I know exponentially it's going to grow and stuff, but how is this worse than a regular flu that kills

00:32:07.380 millions of people? Okay, so here's the problem. It's not the fact that it's killing so many people,

00:32:13.560 although it has the potential of doing that. What the problem is, is our health care systems

00:32:21.000 all around the world, not ours, just alone, all around the world are not prepared for 40% of the

00:32:28.820 population to be sick at the same time. And so we don't have the medicine, we don't have the supplies,

00:32:35.040 and certainly with the number of elderly people, we just don't have the beds in the hospital and the,

00:32:43.000 you know, and the breathing machines and everything else that are going to be required

00:32:47.720 to handle so many people. And so that's what they're doing. They're trying to say stay home

00:32:52.300 because the health care system will come under such strain. We will lose people not just from

00:32:59.900 coronavirus, but from heart attacks, from strokes, from diabetes, from people who have have kidney

00:33:05.940 failure. All of those things are going to compound and we won't have the staff nor the medicine to be

00:33:13.380 able to deal with it all at once. Okay. So the old people go a few years early. I'm just looking 1.00

00:33:17.860 out for myself. This is how I am. I don't know if you've checked in the mirror, but you're right

00:33:23.700 in the median age of being seriously ill. Thanks for pointing that out. Guy with white hair and a

00:33:28.800 white beard. You should be in a bubble right now. No, I know. It's funny. I keep in my head,

00:33:37.900 I'm 28 years old. You're exactly right. I know. And I start looking at the math and they're saying

00:33:42.380 60 and up and I have the attitude of a 78 year old. But you know what's funny, Glenn? I was in

00:33:47.880 Chicago two weekends ago, sold out both shows, by the way. I shook 150 hands. I get done doing that.

00:33:55.620 I walk in the green room and I go, whose slice of pizza is that? And they go, you can have it.

00:33:59.520 I pick it up and eat it. I wolf it down. I don't wash my hands. And I say, oh, this is baloney. But

00:34:07.520 then I get home on Monday. I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and my teeth is

00:34:12.740 chattering and my body's, I have a wicked, like a wicked chills. And then I wake up two hours later,

00:34:19.900 my head is soaked. And that went on for about three days. If that would have happened today,

00:34:24.980 you would have absolutely been convinced you had coronavirus. Yeah, I was. And I was all cocky going,

00:34:29.720 this is all blown out of proportion. So I go to urgent care and they test me. Yeah. Testing is

00:34:35.880 taking your temperature and sticking a swab up my nose. The guy goes, that's where the that's where

00:34:40.260 the flu lives. And I'm like, oh, it lives in Wuhan. What are you talking about? And it comes back

00:34:45.080 negative for the regular flu. And I said, OK, so I, you know, I must have a common cold or something.

00:34:50.960 But I've been and I got to be honest, I've been under the weather since I got back from

00:34:55.720 Chicago a little bit. But they said I didn't even have the regular flu. So I'm confused because

00:35:00.720 now I'm reading stuff like, well, five days later, it can get worse and all this. But

00:35:05.420 I got to get on a plane this week. You know what I do for a living? I have to get on a plane.

00:35:09.700 That might be the best place. I was wondering with you where your tripwire was, where what what is

00:35:15.700 what has to happen before you like, I'm not going to go out into crowds and shake hands and

00:35:20.920 because your money is made there. We keep going back and forth on we have to be here at the studios

00:35:27.720 or it will dramatically change our product. But we also know if we're all sick, it will also stop

00:35:35.080 the product from being made. And so we're we're debating whether or not, you know, what's the next

00:35:40.380 tripwire? What's the thing that says, OK, you know what? We all have to stay and work from home.

00:35:44.100 Well, for me personally, if I start bleeding from the eyes and ears on stage,

00:35:49.600 then I'll tell the 12 people there to get out. But

00:35:53.160 right. Or just come on in. You're already infected. Come on in.

00:35:59.040 Yeah, I'm selling DiPaolo surgical masks after the show. And right. Yeah. But but I get I'm going

00:36:04.260 to get on a plane this weekend. And, you know, I'm going to Baltimore. So now not now my longevity

00:36:09.740 numbers are going down between coronavirus and gunplay. I don't know if I'm going to see

00:36:13.520 Monday. Baltimore is just riddled. Baltimore is one of the cities in America. I think the only

00:36:17.740 city in America that has a bigger population of rats than people. That's true. That's it. That's

00:36:24.160 exactly true. Yeah, it is. It's a it's a it's just a petri dish of something bad to kill you.

00:36:29.720 But that's it's so germ infested that the coronavirus can't even penetrate Baltimore.

00:36:35.260 You know what I mean? They're immune. Right. The coronavirus comes in. The rats eat it.

00:36:40.800 I'm I'm look, I come from longevity. My grandfather was 94, my grandmother. And so I didn't wear a

00:36:45.780 condom in the 80s at the height of the AIDS epidemic. I had a blast. And here I am. So 0.99

00:36:49.820 I'm not going to little bat. You are so scary. 1.00

00:36:52.260 You are just a nightmare. And I looked good back in the 80s. You know, I mean, I was 0.98

00:36:56.460 I don't think so. I don't think so. A young way. Oh, dude, I got so many women. I look 1.00

00:37:01.400 like a young way. That doesn't necessarily mean you were good looking. It might mean you had

00:37:07.340 bad eyesight. Well, that's true. Yeah. A couple shots of Jack. Right. And everybody's like

00:37:15.960 those 10s turn it. Those fours turn into 10s. You're a beautiful woman. Dude, back off. 1.00

00:37:23.440 I swear I thought you were a woman. You still are pretty beautiful.

00:37:29.080 I did very well. I didn't look like Butterfucko's dad my whole life. And I look, what am I going

00:37:35.820 to do, Glenn? I'm lucky I got this show because this does bring in a little bit of money. Thanks

00:37:39.940 to people like you and people who contribute at NPR. I'll get your tote bag later. But

00:37:47.580 the planes, I'm getting on a plane. And that looks like the best place to be isolated right

00:37:51.300 now because all the airports seem to be empty. It's going to be me and like three other people

00:37:55.320 on a plane to Baltimore this weekend. So I'm not worried. But I see what you're saying as

00:38:03.220 far as overcrowding at the hospitals and stuff. But it's a good time to go to the mall.

00:38:07.440 Nobody's there. I went into Dunkin Donuts. Nobody in front of me. I have to tell you,

00:38:11.440 I have a friend. I have a couple who said, we're traveling the world right now.

00:38:18.300 But that's Connie Chung and her husband. No, no, no. That's Connie Chung. No, no. A friend

00:38:24.260 of mine actually said they were just in Paris and they said, no one is anywhere. You can do anything,

00:38:31.640 you know, well, except for shop or go to a restaurant or anything. It's over. If you want to see

00:38:37.200 everything. I know you want to see everything outdoors, you can do it right now. And there's

00:38:42.200 not a soul around anywhere. Once again, the French showing their courage. Right. 1.00

00:38:48.920 They really are the best, aren't they? We're going to have to save them from this too.

00:38:52.600 All right. Nick DiPaolo from NickDip.com. Where are you going to be this weekend?

00:38:57.720 Magoobies in Timonium, Maryland, Friday and Saturday night. Don't let the name fool you. It's

00:39:02.020 a beautiful club. Magoobies? Magoobies. I know. Every time I'm on with you, it can't be the Ritz

00:39:08.180 Theater. It has to be Skid Marks and Buffalo, you know, the Rubber Room. No, no, no. It's a great

00:39:14.320 club. Magoobies sounds great. All right. Thank you so much. Bring your own mask. Thank you very

00:39:21.440 much, Nick. I appreciate it. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:30.440 Hey, here's really exciting news. Dow is down 1,000 points today. It was up over 1,000 points

00:39:48.640 yesterday. We've lost it all. We'll probably gain it all tomorrow. I love this. I love this.

00:39:54.400 It's why you don't freak out. You just keep watching things. It looks like China is back 1.00

00:40:02.420 online. They're expecting now their second hit. Why do you look at me like that? I'm torn on the

00:40:08.560 China's back online narrative right now. President Xi did go to Wuhan, which by the way, has nothing to

00:40:18.400 do with this virus. And if you say it's the Wuhan virus, you're a racist. Is that what you are? 0.96

00:40:22.540 He just picked a random city. Yeah. He's just visiting, just visiting one of his towns in a

00:40:27.680 mask. That's all. Yeah. You notice you're not hearing that now. Well, I also noticed he was

00:40:31.960 wearing a mask. Wasn't the whole thing. The masks aren't effective in this. Why was President Xi

00:40:36.380 wearing one then when he visited Wuhan? Because anyone who says the masks aren't effective is

00:40:41.740 lying to you. Although I do know somebody that wore what I think is just a feminine hygiene 0.99

00:40:48.960 product on their face because they couldn't get a mask. I don't know how that works. I

00:40:54.420 don't think it does. I don't think it does. So I don't know. To me, the idea that they are

00:41:01.320 kind of like, ah, we're back to normal. Everything's fine. It doesn't ring true to me yet. I mean,

00:41:06.940 we don't have obviously a vaccine. We don't like this stuff could still get spread around.

00:41:11.460 The fact that their new cases per day number has decreased. The curve of the spread of the virus

00:41:21.200 has flattened out, which is great. But that does not mean it's going away.

00:41:25.400 I say they're back online. I mean, most of their businesses are back online.

00:41:30.160 Most of their businesses are open and they're starting to do business. They are just concerned

00:41:34.940 now that the rest of the world is getting hit. And so there's nothing to sell to the rest of the

00:41:39.080 world because all they want to seemingly is toilet paper. By the way, talk to somebody early this

00:41:44.080 morning in Rome. You know, the one thing they don't have shortages of toilet paper. Just want to point

00:41:49.400 that out. They still have toilet paper over in Italy where things have gone really, really horribly

00:41:55.500 wrong in in the political news. I just want to stop here for just a second. The Democrats are now

00:42:03.080 saying that they are thinking about canceling the rest of the primaries.

00:42:09.460 OK, there's nothing that screams authoritarian like canceling a primary. Now, I say that knowing

00:42:19.920 that the GOP canceled their primaries. There is a slight difference. There's nobody that was running

00:42:28.340 that was even going to have a chance to beat Donald Trump. With that said, I wish they wouldn't

00:42:33.800 have canceled the primary. You know, they said, well, it costs a lot of money. Yeah. Well, you know

00:42:38.580 what? There's things we do that cost a lot of money. I political party. It came out of frigging

00:42:42.880 primary. Right. I, I, I spend a lot of money on lawyers and everything else to keep up with all of 0.99

00:42:49.860 the laws. Yeah. You know, I'd like to be able to say, yeah, you know what? We're just going to

00:42:54.080 suspend those. There are things you have to do. And in a, in a Republic, I don't know, having a

00:43:01.380 finishing an election is one of them. Seems like when most of the name of your party is Republic,

00:43:06.200 you might want to know that. Right. And also point out that, you know, obviously Trump is

00:43:10.200 running on a pose largely. He does have opponents, however, that we're all going to get blown out

00:43:15.200 94 to six. The problem here, though, is think about this next time. Think about the next time when

00:43:20.780 some establishment figure you don't like is president of the United States. They're just

00:43:24.640 going to start canceling these things because they want the president to hold it, whether

00:43:27.520 they have a legitimate candidate or not. Forget about the next time. How about right now with

00:43:31.640 the Democrats? The Democrats now are talking about canceling the rest of their primaries

00:43:35.560 because Joe Biden's got it. Well, you know what? Joe Biden didn't have it three weeks ago.

00:43:41.140 It looked like Joe Biden was going to drop out in humiliation three weeks ago.

00:43:45.340 I think the one thing we can all agree on is, is the one thing that Joe Biden does not

00:43:48.960 have is it like whatever it is. Joe Biden doesn't have it. He doesn't cognitive decision

00:43:55.980 making ability, whatever it is. Joe is lacking it in some massive way. Imagine if you're a Bernie

00:44:01.580 Sanders supporter and and all of a sudden they start talking about canceling the rest. Now,

00:44:07.040 Bernie Sanders is going to do poorly in many of the remaining states. However, imagine you're a

00:44:14.520 supporter and they just cancel the rest of them, even though the race isn't done. He doesn't have 0.96

00:44:20.540 everything locked up. You already feel like, wait a minute, our guy was ahead. And then

00:44:26.200 your party just your party just orchestrated this massive comeback and put everybody together to beat

00:44:33.880 our guy. So this is the establishment rigging an election. That's how you would feel if you were

00:44:40.480 Bernie Sanders supporter. The last thing you would want to do if you're the Democratic Party and you

00:44:45.260 want to not piss people off that like to burn things down is to give them more ammunition and

00:44:52.120 more gasoline. Really stupid, foolish and and hurts the republic in the long run. You should be able to 1.00

00:45:01.000 vote for who you want to vote for. You don't just hand nominations out of convenience. They cancel the

00:45:06.980 primaries. I know. I think that's really bad. Now, that's just been suggested. It's not actually

00:45:11.040 happened. And also, I will note they're not their advertised reason for this is, yes, of course,

00:45:19.420 you know, we do see that Joe Biden looks like he's going to win this, but coronavirus is serious,

00:45:23.900 blah, blah, blah. So it is important to at least note what the reason is, whether you believe it or

00:45:28.700 not. I mean, a lot of it did come from people who wanted Bernie Sanders to drop out. And that makes it a

00:45:35.680 lot easier, by the way. Uh-huh. If Bernie drops out, then what? Then the Bernie bros, what are they

00:45:40.660 going to say? They're still going to say it was, you know, they were scammed. I mean, I've been

00:45:44.880 watching, you know, Twitter trending topics here over the past 24 hours. Almost the entire time there's

00:45:52.300 been one about how Bernie was scammed, how they stole it from him, how, you know, drop out right in

00:45:59.720 Bernie, drop out of the parties, you know, Dem exit, all these things from these people. Now,

00:46:06.640 look, Twitter is not real life, as we're seeing in the actual voting booth. I mean, Twitter,

00:46:12.120 you can tweet from home while you're eating a Hot Pocket and watching Netflix. You can't do,

00:46:17.420 you can't vote yet. I have a feeling some of these people are too lazy to put the Hot Pocket even into

00:46:21.820 the microwave. Oh, yeah. You just wait for it to thaw out a little bit, maybe, and then just eat it.

00:46:25.540 Do you wait? Do you wait for it to thaw out? If you suck on the Hot Pocket long enough, it starts

00:46:29.600 to melt. It starts to get softer. It's like Dizzy Man, long lasting, very cold 0.90

00:46:33.760 mints. They taste like pizza. Pizza mints.

00:46:38.200 That's the problem, though. I mean, I think you can't build your

00:46:41.520 revolution around people who don't get off their couch. Yeah.

00:46:45.840 And that is a big problem that Bernie was never able to solve. He won

00:46:49.540 young voters with incredibly high percentages, but none of them,

00:46:53.600 I mean, they were smaller percentage than last time of the voting populace because they didn't

00:46:57.680 bother to show up for him. Do you think that or do you think that this whole thing

00:47:02.380 was more of a vote against Hillary Clinton and against this establishment last time,

00:47:09.900 but they're not serious. Nobody is serious except a very small handful of core supporters.

00:47:17.340 America is people who went out Michigan and said, I'm going to vote for Bernie Sanders. That was

00:47:21.840 you knew that Hillary Clinton was going to win. Yeah.

00:47:25.980 You know what I mean? It wasn't real. Right. This

00:47:27.960 is real. Wait a minute. We vote for him. He could

00:47:29.920 actually be it and he's a nightmare. You know

00:47:32.040 when else it was real

00:47:33.940 was right after his big Nevada

00:47:36.020 win this year. All of a sudden, it looked

00:47:38.000 like, holy crap, Bernie might 0.97

00:47:39.660 actually be the nominee. Yeah. This guy we've 0.91

00:47:41.940 been playing Ivan Drago with and

00:47:43.400 hanging out with

00:47:46.000 the hammer and sickle all this time.

00:47:48.280 That might be the guy. Should

00:47:49.860 we do something about this? Because we never thought

00:47:51.900 that it would go this far. And

00:47:53.740 it seems like voters noticed. And

00:47:55.840 that was the time, too, where he's out there talking about Cuba.

00:47:58.100 He's out there, you

00:48:00.240 know, going as far left

00:48:01.840 as he can. He's empowered. Right.

00:48:03.980 He's in that moment where he's succeeding.

00:48:05.840 So he didn't back off the Cuba stuff. Why

00:48:07.820 would he? Right. Well, then South

00:48:09.860 Carolina said, hey, we don't actually want

00:48:11.760 this. We want something else.

00:48:13.980 We're going to go through this tonight on Stu Does America,

00:48:15.880 which we're going through why Bernie failed.

00:48:17.600 And I do think you

00:48:19.700 identify there one of the biggest

00:48:21.580 reasons is that

00:48:23.140 people mistook

00:48:24.740 the hatred and distaste

00:48:27.580 for Hillary Clinton for enthusiasm

00:48:29.760 for Bernie. Yep. And in

00:48:31.740 2016. And they thought, well,

00:48:33.640 look, the party's moving this way. Everyone wants

00:48:35.680 to be a socialist. And there's plenty of people

00:48:37.700 who love that stuff. But on the other

00:48:39.560 side of that, there were just a lot of people who just couldn't

00:48:41.720 stand Hillary Clinton and didn't want to hand her the nomination. 0.82

00:48:43.860 If she's going to get it, she's going to have to work for it.

00:48:45.700 Mm hmm. And so they dragged that thing

00:48:47.700 out. And there were so many anti

00:48:49.680 Clinton votes cast in 2016

00:48:51.940 in the Democratic primary

00:48:53.500 that people thought there was a movement

00:48:55.480 brewing. And as we're seeing here, when

00:48:57.420 Biden, they don't find as offensive as

00:48:59.540 Hillary, that you're seeing that move movement

00:49:01.680 dissolve in a big way.

00:49:03.360 It did not work. Really? It's a

00:49:04.680 it's a it's a death

00:49:06.540 knell for the Democrats because

00:49:08.300 they're caught between a rock and a hard place now.

00:49:10.340 Yeah. I mean, who are they?

00:49:11.460 How many? We've talked about this

00:49:12.380 this back and forth. How many times?

00:49:13.660 Scott, who would you want to run against

00:49:15.660 if you're who do you want to win the Democratic

00:49:17.740 primary? If you want Trump to win, who do you

00:49:19.800 want to win? I don't know. You go back and forth.

00:49:21.560 Yeah. The two main reasons are obviously

00:49:23.760 Bernie's a socialist. So Biden

00:49:25.620 appeals more to middle of the road voters.

00:49:28.060 That's one. So that's a that's a

00:49:29.600 route. You'd rather go for Sanders because he's

00:49:31.300 easier. There is an alternative

00:49:33.320 argument there, which is Bernie's got

00:49:35.460 so much energy. Watch out.

00:49:37.100 You should be scared of him. Bernie's got so much

00:49:39.020 energy. Well, I think what we're proving

00:49:40.820 here is he doesn't doesn't that energy is

00:49:43.140 not there. It does not exist.

00:49:45.000 It's not real. The energy is not real.

00:49:47.260 The woke ism isn't real.

00:49:48.760 None of it's real. It's on Twitter.

00:49:50.660 Now, let me let me switch to Joe Biden,

00:49:52.500 because I think Joe Biden is a very

00:49:53.980 interesting character here because

00:49:55.860 he is Bernie Sanders.

00:49:58.240 He

00:49:58.560 it's so hard to

00:50:03.240 talk with the Joe Biden theme

00:50:06.400 behind you. Maybe this is running through his

00:50:09.020 head all the time. And yeah, why it's so hard

00:50:10.740 for him. I think this is what it sounds like in

00:50:12.180 his head. Yeah, I think everything is

00:50:14.640 like

00:50:15.100 they are

00:50:18.140 14.

00:50:20.500 So anyway,

00:50:21.380 Joe Biden is out on the campaign trail.

00:50:24.720 Joe Biden is doing what he is doing.

00:50:26.880 And I think 0.96

00:50:29.220 foolishly

00:50:31.020 standing in front of 1.00

00:50:32.940 massive amounts of crowds

00:50:35.000 at his age and

00:50:37.080 in the coronavirus time

00:50:38.960 period,

00:50:39.560 he's going out there and doing it.

00:50:42.680 But his son

00:50:43.620 has now said he can't

00:50:46.340 he can't go to court.

00:50:47.500 He can't.

00:50:48.260 Man, I am trying so hard to get my

00:50:50.460 financials to the court.

00:50:51.860 And I've had so many troubles

00:50:54.640 getting those records to you

00:50:56.260 guys now

00:50:57.120 because I haven't turned them over

00:50:59.380 again.

00:51:00.500 Now the judge is like, you know

00:51:02.080 what, bud?

00:51:02.700 Show up in court.

00:51:04.260 Well, his attorney

00:51:06.200 wrote in a court filing.

00:51:08.680 It's unsafe for the

00:51:10.440 defendant to travel right now

00:51:12.200 as travel restrictions have been

00:51:14.020 implemented both domestically and

00:51:16.160 internationally, particularly on

00:51:18.120 airlines due to the

00:51:19.380 coronavirus, setting aside

00:51:21.380 personal endangerment.

00:51:23.720 The defendant reasonably

00:51:24.700 believes that such travel

00:51:26.000 unnecessarily exposes his

00:51:27.660 wife and unborn child to 0.61

00:51:29.100 this virus.

00:51:29.920 End quote.

00:51:30.460 Can you imagine being the

00:51:31.720 the judge on this one?

00:51:33.460 What would you say?

00:51:35.340 I probably

00:51:36.380 I am going to reject

00:51:38.200 that claim

00:51:38.840 and say, get your 1.00

00:51:41.440 ass down here. 1.00

00:51:42.300 Yeah.

00:51:42.680 You know what you could do?

00:51:43.380 Maybe take some of that

00:51:44.220 Burisma money and get a private

00:51:45.580 jet and fly it down here so you

00:51:46.800 don't have to worry about

00:51:47.240 contaminating.

00:51:47.780 Yeah, you could ask your dad.

00:51:48.960 Maybe your dad's going to be

00:51:49.820 around the area.

00:51:50.500 Maybe you could fly on one of

00:51:51.300 his jets when you're next time

00:51:53.040 you're in the area.

00:51:53.700 Personally, I would say get your 1.00

00:51:54.960 ass in the car. 1.00

00:51:57.040 You'd sleep in your car if you 0.98

00:51:58.300 want.

00:51:58.620 Yeah, you walk.

00:51:59.500 You could sleep. 1.00

00:52:00.360 Get your ass to the courtroom. 1.00

00:52:02.000 I've had enough. 1.00

00:52:02.840 There is some risk to that,

00:52:04.420 though, too, because you don't

00:52:05.440 want you don't want Hunter Biden

00:52:06.720 driving a car.

00:52:07.720 Well, that's a different

00:52:09.000 problem.

00:52:11.860 You never know when he's on a

00:52:13.480 on a highway that has a strip

00:52:15.160 club near a gas station.

00:52:16.420 Even Alex Jones, who was

00:52:19.660 arrested yesterday, he I guess

00:52:21.840 he was not intoxicated.

00:52:23.760 They thought he was, but he

00:52:25.020 didn't blow the legal limit. 1.00

00:52:26.580 He's just insane. 1.00

00:52:27.380 Yeah, he's just nuts, I guess. 1.00

00:52:29.140 But I mean, that's remarkable 0.99

00:52:30.460 when when Hunter Biden.

00:52:33.620 Is less safe on the road than

00:52:36.260 Alex Jones.
