hey it's glenn beck i'm back for the friday podcast you don't want to miss today's show
00:00:05.220
uh we've got a lot of great information a lot of uh updates on stories that we have covered
00:00:11.860
even back in february now being confirmed it shows real progress in the elimination
00:00:17.660
of the deep state don't miss a second of today's show
00:00:22.260
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:00:32.440
i think joe biden uh has said it best and if i if i may could we just let's get his uh viewpoint on
00:00:44.600
hispanics because i i mean he's a genius what you all know but most people don't know unlike the
00:00:51.180
african-american community with notable exceptions the latino community is an incredibly diverse
00:00:56.020
community with incredibly different attitudes about different things oh wow black people so
00:01:02.780
unlike black people who are just lockstep and they think alike on everything uh wow and that's not the
00:01:10.240
first time with him either because he just said if you're not black yeah i mean if you don't vote for
00:01:15.880
me you're not black you're not black i mean this guy does he know does he know like the king of all
00:01:23.340
black people or he does does he i mean i i'd like the information that shows him uh that uh all black
00:01:32.560
people just think alike yeah can you imagine interesting can you imagine if donald trump if i
00:01:37.980
would have said that i'd be off the air today if i would have said that that i mean that's incredibly
00:01:43.720
racist we should know too that joe biden not only said that but then reiterated it he said it twice
00:01:49.600
so i mean it was it wasn't like a mistake he misworded it he said the same thing two separate
00:01:55.100
times and then he tried to deny it afterwards by saying earlier today i made some comments about
00:02:00.300
diversity in the african-american and latino communities that i want to clarify in no way did
00:02:05.540
i mean to suggest the african-american community is a monolith well not on what do you say not by
00:02:12.200
identity not on issues not at all well what do you mean no that's the opposite of what you said
00:02:17.060
what you said yeah this guy is i mean it's incredible yeah absolutely incredible and then
00:02:25.560
if i may let me play what cuomo has said about donald trump listen to this we had assumed the president
00:02:34.340
was refusing to help us with testing because he was making a political calculation
00:02:40.020
but regrettably we may have been wrong today this president gave us reason to believe
00:02:47.220
that his judgment may not just be bad it may be impaired did you hear this those are the rantings
00:02:57.420
of someone shouting at the sky and hoping for spare change
00:03:02.280
wow wow this is in response i'll get it it's in response in in response to something donald trump
00:03:11.700
said yesterday but did you hear what he just said first of all the first time cnn has admitted
00:03:17.420
that they were wrong yeah yeah we were hard enough on the president that's the problem right we were
00:03:24.540
wrong this guy is the devil himself um we just thought he was a spawn of satan we were wrong he's satan
00:03:33.880
um is so the first time that they've admitted that they're wrong they're calling him mentally impaired
00:03:41.440
biden on the other hand no he's totally fine but they're saying he might be mentally impaired
00:03:49.120
now here's the statement from donald trump that made him say that listen you will have a crash in
00:03:56.840
the markets because he's going to double and triple your taxes he's going to do things that nobody ever
00:04:03.060
would ever think even possible because he's following the radical left agenda take away your guns
00:04:10.820
destroy your second amendment no religion no anything hurt the bible hurt god he's against god he's
00:04:20.500
against guns he's against energy our kind of energy uh i don't think he's going to do too well in ohio
00:04:28.760
okay so not real eloquent but that's not what we expect from donald trump but he's right
00:04:40.180
when he says uh you know he's against god well i don't know if he's against i don't know if he's
00:04:46.840
like in his in his bedroom going i'll thwart you but he is in league with the people who are taking away
00:04:55.500
the rights of the religious he is in league with people who are marxist who are anti-god i don't think
00:05:04.780
that joe biden is anti-god i i don't know if he even i don't even know if he understands that he's
00:05:11.820
still alive today or understands the concept of god at this point um but his policies and the people
00:05:20.600
he surrounds himself will with are you telling me that this movement is not they're burning bibles
00:05:27.040
uh in portland and the left is saying that we're just making this stuff up that these guys aren't
00:05:34.680
really even there they're figments of our imagination i don't know i think denial of what's going on is
00:05:41.740
kind of anti-science and anti-god well they're backing they're backing a movement that is marxist anti-god
00:05:50.380
an anti-family thus anti-god i'd have to say uh when you're trying to break up the nuclear family
00:05:56.480
that's against god's precepts so uh yeah you can make the case you make the case you can actually
00:06:04.380
make the case you can make the case but what do i know i could be dead by i could be dead by sunday
00:06:10.180
um if people don't vote for me for the radio hall of fame that's the doctor that's what i heard the
00:06:15.620
doctor say so well you are a doctor so you probably did actually hear a doctor say it
00:06:19.780
thank you stew thank you for pointing that out thank you more evidence more evidence that you
00:06:27.480
should vote for me for the radio hall of fame i hate doing that i hate doing that which but well
00:06:34.460
hate having threatening threatening having to tell you the truth that i might die if you don't vote for
00:06:41.420
me i i hate to do it i hate to do it now at least if you die you won't come into the studio on monday
00:06:47.940
right and infect the rest of us without whatever covid 19 stuff you've got running around in your
00:06:53.420
body i don't have any covid i do not have the vid well are you going to deny science are you going
00:07:00.000
to say that these these highly accurate uh uh tests 99.9 accurate you're telling me that i can't trust
00:07:09.320
the test i'm gonna say there's a chance that you have it anyway i'm gonna say that maybe you get
00:07:13.780
two tests and then yeah yeah one more test is good well let's let's do another one really one
00:07:19.120
more test is good did you not say earlier this week you said earlier this week that your two weeks of
00:07:25.280
quarantine begin when tanya gets completely better now she wasn't completely better earlier this week
00:07:33.020
so when does that no but this no this this uh it started two weeks ago uh she got better i i'd say
00:07:42.800
she was better by tuesday you know she was on the mend by by monday she was better by tuesday of this
00:07:50.540
week but it is it's right but it is yeah it is right i know yeah i know but i'm in quarantine yeah it
00:07:57.760
feels like four weeks so i've doubled the amount of time you're not like this quarantine i don't know
00:08:05.700
why you're so opposed to quarantine you basically be living it by choice for multiple years
00:08:14.060
you know what you know what it is i'm just i'm just done with it i i mean i've just done with it
00:08:23.960
you know i i quarantined i did you know did everything i was supposed to do it's been five
00:08:29.620
what has it been five months it feels like five months yeah it is five months no it's been five
00:08:34.040
it's five yeah months it's half a year since i have worked in the studio half a year well if a
00:08:42.400
year is 10 months yes it's half a year but the year's not 10 months okay i'm gonna just i'm gonna
00:08:48.960
i'm just trying to point out your faulty math here because it's not been 14 days either yet yeah
00:08:54.980
i mean i don't want to get the vid from you i don't want the rona from glenn okay i won't come in
00:09:02.540
if everybody's like a baby about it i won't come in well yeah you're gonna be babies no i yeah no no
00:09:08.060
i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine with that if if nobody wants if nobody wants me and i'm fine with that
00:09:12.980
how long can we because what if no one wants you in for two weeks man i'm coming in and i'm gonna
00:09:18.460
lick your face in two weeks two weeks what does your contract run out what if we don't want you in
00:09:24.620
until then it's my studio i own the studios how come i'm the only one not working there
00:09:33.700
it's a fair point it's a fair point uh so we now you can come in and we'll stay home one all i know
00:09:39.180
is i'm not going to be near you anytime soon all right so it'll be two weeks from next tuesday then
00:09:46.260
or it'd be two weeks right now you're right now next tuesday i think you're right the first time
00:09:50.340
it's next tuesday in fact when you say next tuesday who could even define which tuesday that
00:09:54.940
is right it could be a hundred tuesdays from now because by the time tuesday rolls around it won't
00:09:59.360
be the next one right you have to wait until eventually we'll catch up i think if we just
00:10:02.900
keep asking ourselves what's next tuesday and then we'll do two weeks from that day just keep asking
00:10:07.340
yourself every day it makes perfect sense i feel like i'm seeking i feel like i'm talking to the
00:10:11.720
teachers union that's what's happening you guys have joined the teachers union did you hear that in
00:10:18.000
new york if they have one case of covid in a school they're shutting it down that's what the
00:10:22.920
teachers unions want one case shut it down my gosh i mean that's obvious this is i fully expect
00:10:30.920
my kids to be home at some point this year for a week or two or who knows right like i think you have
00:10:36.360
to build that in as a parent going into this year that you know it's gonna happen yeah one case i think
00:10:41.620
most most schools will not close down for one case however there will probably be many outbreaks
00:10:47.580
you know here and there all over the country and you know seven eight kids get it they're gonna
00:10:51.660
they're gonna they're gonna cancel that did you guys see the the latest from the cdc now the warning
00:10:58.720
for our kids in schools there's some new disease that they're saying is like polio yeah saw that and
00:11:06.420
they're saying that it will yeah it will paralyze our kids and uh we should be very aware that this this
00:11:12.860
fall you know our kids could start getting becoming paralyzed you're like wait what it has nothing to
00:11:20.220
do with covid where did this one come from china what when did this one happen well it's funny too
00:11:27.820
because we've heard a lot about these like weird outbreak diseases for kids some of them related to
00:11:33.560
covid some of them not related to covid but the numbers on like overall deaths for kids are way down
00:11:40.680
like way down um in a now they're way up for everyone who's not a kid but they're way down for
00:11:49.660
kids and you know they're trying to figure out like what's going on what's those because you know
00:11:53.060
there's been these these arguments about like oh there's maybe more suicides or more drug deaths or
00:11:57.940
whatever and they're going through the numbers and and under 18 the numbers are way way down and what
00:12:04.460
they think that the situation is is number one like you know less people you know a big cause for kids
00:12:09.840
to die would be like car accidents right and like those aren't obviously happening nearly as often
00:12:13.980
but the other thing is is like parents are home all the time so it's like parent you know kids aren't
00:12:18.240
like you know getting under the cabinets and i don't know guzzling bleach or whatever the hell
00:12:22.080
no more tide pod challenges i suppose i don't know what i don't know can i tell you something i am
00:12:28.260
about to i'm about to have my teenagers take the the tide pod challenge right i mean kids being home
00:12:35.860
after five months which is not half a year i just found out uh you're welcome you are you parents are
00:12:44.780
really starting to say a tide pod if he doesn't take it maybe i will i'm just i'm just saying
00:12:53.200
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:12:59.620
anyone who really knows cooking understands that the tools you use are almost as important as the
00:13:23.140
knowledge of what you're doing over the past few months it has become more and more apparent to me
00:13:28.240
that this is absolutely the case when it comes to grilling because i am not an outdoor chef uh
00:13:34.080
although i recently feel like one every time i take a bite out of something that i prepared on my
00:13:39.320
rec tech there is something to the marriage of the sturdiness of the great design to the perfection of
00:13:45.600
the smart grill technology that when you're standing over a rec tech looking at what you've cooked
00:13:50.940
you're presiding over a work of culinary art and the best thing about it for people like me anyway
00:13:56.140
is that you yourself don't have to be good at cooking to be great with a rec tech it's high
00:14:01.060
end equipment without the high end price it's the last grill you're ever going to want to own
00:14:05.680

00:14:11.660
that's r-e-c-t-e-q.com thomas massey how are you i'm doing great glenn how are you doing
00:14:19.620
how are you uh i'm i'm feeling fine i i had all the symptoms except for a fever i went and got a test
00:14:27.600
and i i tested negative i'm the only one in the family now that hasn't had covid um but i tested
00:14:35.400
negative but i think that's because of my my doctor has had me on a aggressive uh flight of of you know
00:14:45.660
uh zinc and hydroxychloroquine as soon as the family got it i started taking that as well and
00:14:52.480
he said we're going to make sure that you don't we don't we've done we've done everything we can
00:14:56.700
to make sure you don't get it and i think it worked well i've got some interesting news to share that
00:15:01.060
nobody knows yet uh i took the covid test the swab that goes up in your nose i took that last friday
00:15:07.560
but that's fun but i also asked them to draw my blood and do the antibody test and lo and behold
00:15:13.280
yesterday the fedex guy delivered my results and i have the antibodies so that means so you've had
00:15:20.720
you've had the vid i've had the rona and i have recovered from it and i've got three the tighter
00:15:27.340
uh of my antibodies indicates i have three times the level that's required to donate plasma
00:15:33.580
so i would happily do that to help uh anybody i can but i'm convinced i had it in january
00:15:40.860
i was laid out for four days no energy this was the end of the christmas recess uh a fever
00:15:48.200
sore throat i laid on the couch for four days because this was before we knew what rona was
00:15:54.240
but i knew i had something and i didn't want to give it to my family and uh i went to the doctor i
00:15:59.740
hadn't been to the doctor for sickness uh in like 10 or 15 years that's how sick i have to be to go to
00:16:06.780
the doctor and i said look i gotta go back to congress give me whatever you got and they gave
00:16:11.800
me a strong antibiotic shot and an antihistamine and uh i re i was feeling better within a day
00:16:18.620
you know the plasma thing is what uh stopped it in in italy i mean the the plasma treatment seems
00:16:27.260
to really work nobody's talking about that here you know i've talked to doctors here in kentucky
00:16:32.860
who used that early on and are convinced that it worked so yeah i'm happy to donate my plasma
00:16:39.220
and i just wanted to share that i wanted to get out there and tell folks about this
00:16:44.300
so but let's talk about other stuff yeah can we talk about what's happening in uh with the stimulus bill
00:16:52.140
what what what what what's going to happen today is the day right today is the day uh you know they
00:17:00.260
say they'll give us 24 hours notice if they come up with a deal this is the problem with the swamp
00:17:04.960
gland there are four or five people writing this bill and and in reality it's probably staff that
00:17:10.100
are doing it and then we're all going to be called back given 24 hours to read it and told to take it or
00:17:16.040
leave it and then you'll be vilified if you vote against it in fact they'll try not to have a vote but
00:17:21.240
they know that i will force it so they'll probably go ahead and have the vote
00:17:24.780
so what are we looking at thomas and and and how does this end
00:17:32.160
uh how does it the big end end i mean it ends with yeah i mean nobody loaning us money at the
00:17:40.380
federal government and us printing and hyperinflation that's how it all ends eventually
00:17:44.040
well we we don't have to go very far on that right now 95 percent of all of our treasuries that go up
00:17:51.820
for sale are purchased by the fed the biggest buyer in 2020 of of the national debt or anything
00:18:00.600
that we spend has been jerome powell i mean it's all being purchased by by the fed right now you know
00:18:08.300
you said you hate to call me a republican i have some friends who call themselves collapsitarians or
00:18:14.800
and actually i think they're the party in power because this is going to accelerate the collapse
00:18:25.000
of the dollar i believe and i nobody nobody's willing to say that and all of the signs are there
00:18:32.960
they're all there i mean we we've been downgraded i think it was by fitch uh not in our actual triple
00:18:40.540
a score but in our outlook uh as i think dangerous uh was was the word they used um we're printing money
00:18:49.500
we're borrowing it from the fed there's no end of the spending uh china and russia just hit the point
00:18:57.060
where they can now de-dollarize and not have to worry about it uh they've they've traded all of their
00:19:04.360
treasuries in except for you know a small number for what each of them held before and they have
00:19:10.040
purchased gold they are already on the move and they are in they're trying to convince others
00:19:15.560
to do a basket of currencies or whatever else which would collapse our dollar and i don't think
00:19:20.800
anybody really understands thomas what that means when that happens i don't think the average person
00:19:27.520
understands collapse of a dollar and what it means let me tell you how unsustainable this is
00:19:32.660
we're on the path for four trillion dollar deficit this year i looked it up the income tax generates
00:19:39.340
two trillion dollars so we would have to triple the income tax rate and that's our biggest source
00:19:45.060
of revenue for the general fund is the income tax we'd have to triple the income tax rate if you're
00:19:50.180
paying 25 of your income you'd have to go to 75 to cover government spending this year that's that's
00:19:56.560
assuming that that kind of tax rate didn't kill the economy so it's just not sustainable here's
00:20:02.340
another way of looking at it there four trillion dollars divided by 435 congressional districts is 10
00:20:08.780
billion dollars per congressional district i mean that's 20 counties in kentucky are going to have to come
00:20:15.140
up with 10 billion dollars at some point to cover this coronavirus spending it's just not sustainable
00:20:22.720
it's it's not going to happen the dollar will collapse tell me what a dollar a collapse of a
00:20:29.280
dollar looks like to the average person what does that mean well it's going to hurt the average person
00:20:35.800
more than it hurts the upper class oh yeah the upper class is not going to they won't feel it
00:20:41.620
right they're hedged they're they don't have all their money in dollars and and uh they've got hedges
00:20:47.480
against the stock market and everything that they hold that the average person is going to see their
00:20:52.540
savings go to nothing if they've got any savings the retirement income that's in fixed dollars your
00:20:58.760
social security is in fixed dollars they're not going to adjust that for hyperinflation so that
00:21:03.860
evaporates as well since we started this the dollar has declined in value by 10 percent that means if you
00:21:11.220
had a thousand dollars in the bank you still it'll still read a thousand dollars but you only have
00:21:17.160
nine hundred dollars worth of buying power and and people aren't understanding that a 30 percent drop
00:21:25.080
or more is very possible in you know in the span of a very short period of time where you could lose the
00:21:34.020
buying power of of half of your money that's it's depressing staggering but but i know you have a lot of
00:21:41.840
depressing topics to talk about and i was excited well can i talk about some of the other ones
00:21:46.980
yeah well let me talk about let me talk about the swamp the new uh hbo documentary that i can't believe
00:21:53.300
is on hbo um talk to me a little talk to me a little bit about it yeah yeah so they followed me
00:22:00.060
and matt gates and ken buck around for a year we gave them unprecedented access to our staff to our
00:22:06.760
offices to our homes they could have really screwed us on this movie and even though when a lot of
00:22:13.920
republicans watch this movie they're not going to be happy because it's critical of the president it
00:22:19.840
leans to the left in some ways even though all that's true they really gave us a fair shake they
00:22:25.460
did not distort anything that the three of us said they didn't take our words out of context and it's
00:22:31.980
somewhat of a miracle that this movie is on hbo and uh all in all i think it's good we did it we
00:22:39.060
took that risk because we needed to get the message out not just to the people watching fox and by the
00:22:44.960
way fox doesn't even cover what's wrong with the swamp uh but we needed to get it out to a broader
00:22:50.060
audience and they've and i think they've helped us do that i love your part where you are you're talking
00:22:56.020
about um the capital is the death star and you're you're trying to find the weakness and you end up
00:23:02.980
in the trash compactor yes that's my daily grind you know there was an exhaust port on the death star
00:23:09.860
and the other analogy to the death star is they're always working you're always working on it in the
00:23:14.800
movies right but it's even though it looks like they're working on it and the capital's always got
00:23:19.740
scaffolding on it right it's fully functional and capable of destroying happiness anywhere in the
00:23:25.040
universe like that describes the capital as well as the death star that's really that's really sad
00:23:32.100
isn't it i mean it's really crazy and you know we were just talking about joe biden's um sanity and
00:23:39.220
you know i'm not saying that he is you know alzheimer's or anything else he's just at least having the
00:23:45.460
natural decline that happens to people when they get older but he is really slipping he's not going to be
00:23:52.300
the president and i don't think i mean if if he would win he's not going to be running things and
00:23:58.020
i don't think it'll be the vice president either who's actually behind who are you voting for if
00:24:04.380
you're voting for for uh joe biden who's running the show it's going to be the the people who stay
00:24:12.820
in power whether it's a bush or a clinton or an obama or a trump they're just below the political
00:24:18.480
appointees and uh they have the most power because they've been there the longest and they just
00:24:24.420
expanded that part of the government in the national defense authorization act they created a cyber czar
00:24:30.780
a permanent position in the executive branch that has 75 full-time uh equivalent reports who are not
00:24:38.540
political appointees who who will decide the cyber policy now they'll say it's for security
00:24:44.580
uh but it's going to be they're going to dictate standards not just for the government but for any
00:24:50.820
company that wants to interact with the government and so they're going to be the ones perpetuating
00:24:54.980
the back doors and all your software and whatnot um let me let me transition um to another story that i
00:25:04.060
read uh that the intel community will not confirm that congressmen uh and senators are being surveilled
00:25:13.580
that's disturbing let me share a personal experience with you on this glenn we went down in a skiff
00:25:20.760
they called uh some of us down in a skiff and they said we have uh reason to believe another country is
00:25:27.980
trying to basically infiltrate congress or make connections with you all and while i was sitting
00:25:35.320
there i realized they are covering their posteriors here because my suspicion was they are spying on
00:25:43.100
some or all of us in this room and they want to disclose it without disclosing it so instead of
00:25:49.320
asking the briefer in that room whether they were spying on me or anybody in the room i asked the briefer
00:25:56.200
if you were spying on one of us and one of us asked you if you were spying on us would you tell us
00:26:02.340
if you were spying on us it could that sent them into a flitter and they what did they say they they've
00:26:10.820
got flustered uh couldn't complete sentences i mean it was the body language and then they basically
00:26:18.200
refused to answer the question which which is an answering of the question okay uh so so so hang on
00:26:25.220
let me take a break i want you to come back and explain what that means um to the average person
00:26:33.420
uh and what it means to you in in congress or the senate or the white house if the intel
00:26:41.160
community is just eavesdropping on everybody you know for their own safety
00:26:53.140
we have the audio from joe biden from yesterday uh where he was uh talking to the cbs news reporter
00:27:03.600
and they and they asked uh you know have you had a cognitive test at all listen to this have you
00:27:09.780
taken a cognitive no i haven't taken a test why the hell would i take a test come on man
00:27:17.160
that's like saying man before you got in this program you take a test where you're taking
00:27:21.480
cocaine or not what do you think huh are you a jump what do you say to president trump a black man
00:27:28.360
brags about his test and makes your mental state an issue for voters well if he can't figure out the
00:27:36.700
difference between an elephant and a lion i don't know what the hell he's talking about did you watch
00:27:41.360
that look come on man i i know you're trying to goad me but i mean i'm so forward
00:27:47.000
looking to have an opportunity to sit with the president or stand with the president in debates
00:27:53.140
there's gonna be plenty of time and by the way as i joke with him you know
00:27:58.040
i i shouldn't say it i'm gonna say something i don't i i probably shouldn't say anyway yeah i am uh
00:28:04.480
i am very willing to let the american public judge my physical mental feel my physical as well as my
00:28:12.520
you wouldn't believe this if it was written for a movie you would not believe it it's it's just
00:28:24.080
remarkable my my my uh my uh my uh my mental capacity i mean at least woodrow wilson was in
00:28:33.520
office before this stuff happened you know this is like nobody knew it yeah i mean this is like
00:28:39.560
he's everyone everyone can see this all democrats know what's going on here they all know it yeah
00:28:44.700
the question is who's really going to be president because it's not going to be the vice president it's
00:28:49.880
