The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Charlie Kirk & Dr. Robert Epstein ｜ 3⧸2⧸20

00:00:00.000 All right, Monday's podcast, boy, it's a good one today.

00:00:03.600 I just got back from CPAC, and I look at the president and his speeches in a totally different light.

00:00:11.980 I really learned a lot this weekend watching him and the crowd, what I discovered at CPAC coming up in this podcast.

00:00:21.200 Also, I had the nerve to say that Bernie Sanders and his version of socialism, which is communism, might be a danger.

00:00:33.640 Plus, the recap of what happened over the weekend, who's in, who's out, Buttigieg, and what's happening tomorrow all around the country for Super Tuesday, our coronavirus update,

00:00:44.560 and why Dr. Robert Epstein says that forget Russia, forget Russia with Google and Facebook.

00:00:53.240 The Republicans cannot win in 2020 unless all on today's podcast.

00:01:06.980 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:14.560 So, I don't know if you saw this, Stu, but Yahoo News and, what's the other one?

00:01:22.860 The Daily Beast.

00:01:25.320 They've been just writing horrible stories about me at CPAC.

00:01:29.900 And I really want to get into this because it's all from Media Matters.

00:01:33.720 That's all this is, is Media Matters.

00:01:36.220 Trump ally cheered by Republicans for speech claiming Bernie Sanders' presidency would lead to another holocaust.

00:01:44.560 I think I did say that.

00:01:46.280 I think I did say that.

00:01:48.940 Glenn Beck, a former Fox News pundit and an ally to Donald Trump.

00:01:55.540 That's you.

00:01:56.100 Wow, that's the first time I've been called an ally.

00:01:58.120 Donald Trump doesn't even call me an ally.

00:02:01.200 Was cheered on by Republicans during a conference in which he claimed Bernie Sanders' presidency would lead to another holocaust.

00:02:07.920 An incendiary speech full of false claims and misinformation.

00:02:13.800 Now, this is the way misinformation and disinformation spread.

00:02:19.300 Instead, you write a piece for Yahoo News and you make the claim full of false claims and misinformation and then not go over any of those things.

00:02:32.460 Not actually say what that really was and take the speech apart.

00:02:37.800 I welcome you to try to do it, Yahoo News.

00:02:42.420 Go ahead.

00:02:43.780 It was like the Yahoo News room is bustling at this point in the company's trajectory.

00:02:49.880 So I don't know if they'll have time for that one.

00:02:51.580 Yeah, I know.

00:02:52.120 So full of false claims and misinformation delivered to the annual CPAC conference, Mr. Beck compared Sanders and his supporters to Bolsheviks.

00:03:04.000 Yes.

00:03:05.320 Warning a violent revolution could or should the Democratic Socialists assume office.

00:03:13.380 Yeah, just because that's what his supporters are saying.

00:03:16.260 These are not grassroots groups of Democrats.

00:03:18.600 They're Marxist revolutionaries who believe in nothing short of complete overthrow of the United States and destruction of the Constitution and the free market system.

00:03:26.820 Beck told an audience of activists at the White House and White House officials at CPAC.

00:03:32.960 And please, let's stop calling them Bernie bros because they're not my brother.

00:03:36.460 They're they're not something that is funny.

00:03:38.380 They're Bernie Bolsheviks. 0.71

00:03:39.680 They're Bernie Brown shirts.

00:03:41.080 That's what they are.

00:03:42.200 He said to cheers of support from the crowd.

00:03:45.240 And their revolution will result in death and misery, another whole of a whole of more, another Holocaust or whatever we call the next great socialist atrocity. 0.71

00:03:55.960 Mr. Beck also suggested that Mr. Sanders followers, who he falsely claimed are armed with pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails and guns are worse than the Nazis.

00:04:06.140 And I didn't say they were worse than the Nazis. 0.92

00:04:07.820 I said there that we have it worse than our grandparents did, because our grandparents in World War Two, it was clear what evil was.

00:04:19.740 It was clear.

00:04:21.260 And they took it seriously.

00:04:23.840 Now we're looking at Bernie Sanders and he's just funny.

00:04:27.540 He's like Larry David.

00:04:28.800 And these are Bernie bros.

00:04:30.620 And we're laughing at them.

00:04:32.580 We weren't laughing at the Nazis. 0.93

00:04:34.820 We're laughing at these Bolsheviks who are indeed arming themselves with pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails. 0.98

00:04:44.620 Have you noticed Antifa?

00:04:47.380 Have you seen any of their peaceful rallies?

00:04:50.640 I will say, too, there was a lot of laughing about the Nazis before the Nazis turned into what we now know the Nazis were. 0.58

00:04:56.800 Yeah.

00:04:56.860 When they were early on, they were very much jokes and were mocked all over the world, including by the United States and Britain and all the people who wound up taking them very seriously later on.

00:05:06.960 Yes.

00:05:07.600 So anyway, I'm not worried about it.

00:05:10.660 I just want to say to both the Daily Beast and Yahoo News, first of all, two stories isn't widely condemned.

00:05:21.220 OK, that's you and media matters.

00:05:23.880 Any story I have read was rip and read from media matters.

00:05:29.420 We know who they are.

00:05:31.980 Second thing I want to say is tell me what tell me what the lies were.

00:05:37.600 Tell me where.

00:05:38.560 Tell me the lies.

00:05:39.680 So you actually said that if it's like there will be another Holocaust.

00:05:43.780 No.

00:05:44.120 Which is was that your quote?

00:05:45.260 Because that's what that made it.

00:05:46.300 I said they're socialist revolution.

00:05:48.800 I said these are revolutionaries and if they get into office, their social, their Marxist revolution will lead to the destruction because what they're saying and I'm not talking about Bernie Sanders saying this.

00:06:03.160 I'm talking about all the people that are in his I can't even say all I shouldn't say that almost all of the people in his campaign and the ones that have been shown by Project Veritas.

00:06:15.920 They are talking about a violent revolution.

00:06:18.500 They are talking about gulags. 0.51

00:06:20.800 They are talking about killing 20 million people.

00:06:24.760 They can't they can't fact check you on that, though, because that means they'd have to mention the Project Veritas thing, which they've all dutifully ignored, ignored, ignored, which is great.

00:06:35.240 Right.

00:06:35.740 And they've also ignored that they still work there.

00:06:38.400 And they've also ignored all of the people who are currently paid highest level of the Bernie Sanders campaign that were over and they were consulting the former Communist Party of East Germany.

00:06:52.600 I mean, they're they are with the communists all over Europe and they are consulting with them.

00:07:01.020 So, please, you haven't done your homework.

00:07:03.660 You don't know what you're talking about.

00:07:05.300 And that's giving you credit.

00:07:07.300 I personally think you're for it.

00:07:10.900 But I could be wrong.

00:07:12.900 Let me tell you about in fact, let me take a quick break early because I want to talk to you about what I discovered about Donald Trump.

00:07:19.160 I'm sitting in the front row of CPAC while Donald Trump is giving his speech and I see him and his speeches in an entirely different light.

00:07:36.440 Now, I saw him in 2016 speak and I saw him live and it just wasn't the same as it is now.

00:07:46.440 And I have learned so much from what I I think another door of understanding has opened up for me.

00:07:56.820 And I've looked I look at him and those speeches, which I've always been like, oh, please don't know.

00:08:02.260 Just stick to the script.

00:08:03.960 Stick to the script.

00:08:05.100 I look at him entirely different after actually sitting and being there.

00:08:12.380 If you even if you don't like Donald Trump, you just want to understand Donald Trump.

00:08:16.960 Go to one of his his rallies.

00:08:19.680 You will understand him in a completely new way.

00:08:26.820 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:08:35.100 I was at CPAC this weekend and I understand the president more clearly than I think I ever have.

00:08:45.740 And I have.

00:08:47.740 I have missed his secret sauce, you know, and I think a lot of people are like this.

00:08:55.800 Who like the president, but they're like, I wish he would stop tweeting.

00:08:58.820 And I've come to this place to where I do wish he would stop tweeting, but I don't think we would be where we are in a good way if it wasn't for his tweeting.

00:09:07.840 So I'm kind of torn on it because it's his tweets that drive that expose everything.

00:09:14.040 It drives the left so crazy that they don't know what to do.

00:09:19.820 And so they just they prove him right all the time.

00:09:23.880 So while I would like to get rid of his Twitter feed, I would not like to get rid of his Twitter feed at the same time.

00:09:30.580 I'm really torn on that.

00:09:31.820 The other thing, like when I saw him at the State of the Union, that was a well crafted speech that was really good.

00:09:42.120 And he was very presidential.

00:09:43.980 And if you remember, right, I said to him, if he was that or I said to you that if he was that guy from now until 2020, he'd win.

00:09:54.720 Not sure that I was right about that.

00:09:57.600 And here's why.

00:09:58.860 I haven't been to one of his rallies since 2016, and I went to one of his rallies, but I went to his rally before he had the the seal on front and on the stage and before he had any track record.

00:10:16.160 So I didn't believe the things that he was saying he was going to do.

00:10:21.300 I still don't believe everything.

00:10:23.540 You know, he's like, and this is the greatest weather pattern in the history since the dinosaurs.

00:10:30.560 I still don't like, OK, I don't think so.

00:10:33.540 But whatever.

00:10:34.960 That's Donald Trump.

00:10:36.760 Here's what I here's what I learned watching him.

00:10:42.040 Donald Trump has mastered this thing, and it's genuine.

00:10:46.900 I don't think it's calculated.

00:10:48.020 He has mastered this thing with his supporters that.

00:10:54.740 He's the president of the United States, and yet he's not.

00:10:59.360 And what here's what I mean by that.

00:11:01.460 Imagine the president of the United States is your best friend.

00:11:05.100 OK, you grew up together.

00:11:08.060 And you would expect the president, you know, you would call him Mr.

00:11:11.960 President.

00:11:12.320 And if you were in public, he might even say, don't call me.

00:11:17.500 Don't call me, Mr.

00:11:18.340 You know, I'm still I'm still Bill.

00:11:20.480 But people around him would go, please, when you're in public, please call him Mr.

00:11:24.100 President.

00:11:24.400 And you probably would because he's the president of the United States.

00:11:28.080 But when you're in his living room above the, you know, White House and you're just the two of you, you'd be sitting on the couch and you'd be like, OK, let me tell you what I really let me tell you what really happened.

00:11:41.040 This is frickin crazy.

00:11:43.840 Here's what happened.

00:11:45.260 And he'd be watching stuff and you'd be like, OK, so what did you really think about the debate?

00:11:49.940 And he'd be like, oh, mini Mike.

00:11:51.660 And he would be making fun of him.

00:11:54.260 That's who this president is on stage.

00:11:57.980 When he's in those rallies, he's your buddy.

00:12:02.340 He's your best friend who happens to be president.

00:12:06.500 And he's pulling the curtain back.

00:12:09.600 It's I've heard people say it is the best entertainment in America.

00:12:14.880 I believe that to be true.

00:12:16.840 It is the best value.

00:12:18.500 It's free.

00:12:20.220 You're seeing one of the best shows I've ever seen.

00:12:25.300 And here's another reason why not only is he genuine in those things, he is genuinely funny.

00:12:33.640 When you see him in little clips, you don't you don't get it when you watch it on TV.

00:12:40.560 It's not the same.

00:12:42.220 But when you're sitting there and you're watching him.

00:12:47.780 I have I've I've known he was a good performer, but I have to tell you.

00:12:52.480 I think he has some of the best comedic to Netflix.

00:12:57.460 They gave the what was it billion dollars or a hundred million dollars to the wrong president.

00:13:04.180 They gave a hundred million dollars for Barack Obama to make a bunch of documentaries that nobody's going to watch.

00:13:11.280 What I saw at CPAC was one of the best and I say one of because I can think of two others that are on par.

00:13:20.220 It was one of the best Netflix comedy specials I've ever seen.

00:13:26.260 He has comedic timing unlike I've seen.

00:13:30.180 And I thought that I don't know, I just didn't give him enough credit to be that kind of performer.

00:13:43.040 He was and I know he was because the guy who was sitting next to me was like, he's looking at you, man, because he would do something and it would be really, really funny.

00:13:53.680 And he just kind of glance over and look at me and kind of smile like I know what I'm doing.

00:14:00.180 And I'm like, you do, brother, you do.

00:14:04.060 I mean, it was it was impressive to watch him.

00:14:08.440 I've never seen and I chalk this.

00:14:11.320 I chalked this up to arrogance.

00:14:13.720 I still think he's an arrogant guy.

00:14:16.480 However.

00:14:18.360 Not sure that's the right word.

00:14:21.260 I've never seen anyone as comfortable in their own skin as him.

00:14:26.340 Because I watched him walk off stage and I could see him walk off in the back.

00:14:33.080 OK.

00:14:34.040 And.

00:14:36.080 You know, when I get off stage, it's like.

00:14:39.340 Oh, that was work.

00:14:41.900 You know what I mean?

00:14:43.260 That was not work for him.

00:14:45.820 He walked off stage and there was no letdown.

00:14:48.920 There was no.

00:14:50.380 OK.

00:14:51.080 All right.

00:14:51.720 It's him.

00:14:54.000 And I watched him.

00:14:56.120 I was close enough to really watch his body language.

00:14:59.940 The guy is more comfortable in his skin and who he is than anyone I think I've ever seen.

00:15:06.880 It was remarkable.

00:15:09.480 Remarkable to watch.

00:15:11.660 Remarkable.

00:15:12.700 And that's why it works so well.

00:15:14.080 Right.

00:15:14.620 Right.

00:15:14.800 Because it's real.

00:15:16.000 Like people will.

00:15:17.060 In a weird way, that's authenticity.

00:15:18.500 Right.

00:15:19.060 Yeah, it is.

00:15:20.280 And he's he you know, if you understand the mindset that the people who voted for him

00:15:26.080 and the people who will vote for him are sick of being told one thing and then they do another.

00:15:34.880 His speeches when he's giving and he's going off the the prompter.

00:15:39.880 It was weird because watching him on television, you're like stick to the prompter, stick to the prompter, stick to the prompter.

00:15:48.380 But in live, that's not what you're going for.

00:15:52.140 You don't care what he's saying on the prompter.

00:15:53.500 It's almost like an interlude.

00:15:55.020 It's because he he wore the guy sitting next to me said, this guy's in his 70s.

00:16:03.420 I'm exhausted from the 90 minutes because, first of all, you feel like you're in Catholic church. 0.97

00:16:09.080 You're up and down and up and down and up and down.

00:16:10.620 But it's genuine. 1.00

00:16:11.920 It's not like the it's not like the stupid state of the union speech where it's like, oh, sit down, shut up. 1.00

00:16:19.420 None of you mean it. 1.00

00:16:20.100 But it's genuine.

00:16:21.860 You're up and down and up and down and up and down and you're laughing so hard.

00:16:27.020 And when he goes back to the speech, you're like, OK, I don't really have to pay attention here.

00:16:34.640 And it's like he's coming out and he's just.

00:16:38.900 Yeah, I know.

00:16:39.900 And then he just stops.

00:16:42.380 And and that's what everybody's coming for.

00:16:44.840 They're not coming for the speech.

00:16:46.580 That's what Barack Obama missed.

00:16:48.480 Barack Obama didn't have those crowds because he was an image of something and he gave these beautiful speeches.

00:16:57.680 But he wasn't real.

00:16:59.580 It wasn't he didn't connect.

00:17:01.000 You didn't want to hang out with Barack Obama and he didn't have anything.

00:17:05.040 There's this air of discovery with this president to where you're.

00:17:11.300 You wanted someone who was consistent, who would blow the system up.

00:17:16.640 And so he's telling you, OK, here's what I really did this weekend.

00:17:20.200 Oh, you know, it really drove him nuts.

00:17:22.320 It was really great.

00:17:24.560 Figured out something else.

00:17:25.760 And I know this to be true because of me.

00:17:31.640 You can feel very alone doing these kinds of jobs.

00:17:35.520 And there's lots of people that do these jobs and they'll feel very alone.

00:17:38.680 No one is more alone than the president of the United States.

00:17:41.000 No one, especially since no other president wants to talk to him.

00:17:44.700 You know, they always say, at least I have, you know, I can talk to the other presidents and they get together.

00:17:49.320 Nobody wants nobody says nobody says buddy, no one.

00:17:52.760 And he is a legendarily small circle even for a president.

00:17:56.500 Correct.

00:17:57.000 So that guy is alone.

00:18:00.340 My friend said to me, I'm exhausted.

00:18:02.520 And when he said that, I was looking at the president thinking this guy could go another three hours.

00:18:10.080 Now, genetically, there's something going on with him.

00:18:15.040 He's very he's not his age.

00:18:17.200 OK, he's he's in good genetic health, I think.

00:18:21.620 So that goes for stamina.

00:18:23.900 He sleeps like three hours a day.

00:18:25.460 There's something weird happening with him in a good way.

00:18:29.880 I wish I had that.

00:18:31.880 The the thing, though, that I noticed because I'm like this and I know others.

00:18:39.240 He's always surrounded by enemies.

00:18:42.280 Always.

00:18:42.720 When you and I see each other, you might get something out of the speech and you may be like, oh, that was fun.

00:18:50.160 That was great.

00:18:50.880 But I can guarantee you, I get more from you than you get from me because I get recharged.

00:18:58.420 That's what's happening.

00:18:59.660 The president is hanging out with his friends at those rallies.

00:19:04.220 And he knows he's in a safe space with you.

00:19:08.920 He knows that you're not going to turn on him.

00:19:12.640 And and he is getting recharged.

00:19:15.900 It's.

00:19:17.400 It's his you're his friend.

00:19:18.980 You're his friend.

00:19:22.380 And he's living in a pretty friendless world right now.

00:19:26.200 That's what's happening.

00:19:28.080 That's what's happening.

00:19:29.020 And that's what people are feeling.

00:19:30.960 That's why he's so loyal to you.

00:19:33.480 And you're so loyal to him.

00:19:35.880 Because he's doing what he said.

00:19:39.000 He's letting you in on the secrets.

00:19:41.180 He's letting you in and he's pulling the curtain back and he's like, everybody thinks they're all that.

00:19:45.540 They're not.

00:19:46.440 I don't really care.

00:19:48.920 That is huge for his fans.

00:19:51.580 And you're giving that back to him.

00:19:55.660 The guy, I think the guy's unstoppable.

00:19:57.860 I really do.

00:19:59.280 I think he's unstoppable.

00:20:00.860 In the election, you mean in 2020?

00:20:02.640 I hope.

00:20:03.140 Yeah.

00:20:03.960 Yeah.

00:20:04.160 If it's against Biden, it's over.

00:20:06.100 He took a, you know, pro poll and he's like, let me just take a poll.

00:20:09.780 He said, I did it in South Carolina.

00:20:11.600 I'm not going to tell you the results.

00:20:13.500 Who should I run about or run against?

00:20:15.320 Then he was like, Buttigieg.

00:20:17.520 I don't even know who he is or why he's running.

00:20:21.980 I mean, he went through all of them and he said, I'm only going to ask you about two people, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

00:20:27.760 He said, I want you to cheer if you think it would be the easiest to beat Joe Biden.

00:20:34.540 There was a pretty good cheer.

00:20:35.480 Now, those who think I should run against Bernie Sanders because you think he'd be the easiest to beat.

00:20:42.420 And the place went nuts.

00:20:44.260 And all I kept thinking was, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:20:48.160 Yeah.

00:20:48.640 It's such a, we've had this conversation on the air a bunch of times of which one you'd root for.

00:20:52.760 Yeah.

00:20:52.960 And it's tough because I do understand the argument that Sanders is the guy because I think he would be maybe the easiest one to beat.

00:21:00.220 Maybe.

00:21:00.720 Maybe.

00:21:01.000 However, if you lose, the ramifications are considerably worse.

00:21:06.980 Yeah.

00:21:07.440 And that's the thing that I keep coming back to is that like, you know, like coronavirus is a great example.

00:21:11.940 I don't think that's going to turn into something that, that changes the election.

00:21:15.800 But something like that, that is completely out of the control of the president could change the election and make the other person win.

00:21:23.140 And if that other person is Bernie Sanders, you've got a socialist president of the United States.

00:21:26.780 Serious problem.

00:21:27.340 But I will tell you that I, I, um, uh, I think that it is interesting to see, um, the way the president dealt with all of these people over the weekend.

00:21:41.640 Uh, and, uh, I really, I want to see if I can get CPAC to give me the video.

00:21:46.740 Cause I want to, I want to edit it into like a 25 or 30 minute comedy special because I think he was brilliant, truly brilliant.

00:21:57.340 If he was any other president, he would get an Emmy for these because they're TV specials.

00:22:03.680 They really are.

00:22:04.740 He would get an Emmy for, uh, best comedic actor.

00:22:09.260 I really underestimated, uh, his calculation and his skill.

00:22:16.220 Really, truly brilliant.

00:22:18.300 Really brilliant.

00:22:19.040 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:37.300 We welcome to the program, uh, Mr. Charlie Kirk, uh, Charlie, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:42.380 Tell me the name of your book that is coming out.

00:22:44.360 Not that you don't know this called the mega, the, the MAGA doctrine.

00:22:48.580 The only ideas that will win the future.

00:22:51.440 Welcome to the program, Charlie Kirk.

00:22:53.000 How are you, Charlie?

00:22:54.100 It's an honor, Glenn.

00:22:55.020 Thanks so much for having me.

00:22:56.060 Great to talk to you again.

00:22:56.980 In case you don't know who Charlie is, he's founder and president of turning point USA,

00:23:00.200 which is this phenomenal group, uh, that is spreading not only all over college campuses

00:23:06.200 and high schools all over America, but literally all over the world.

00:23:09.980 It is remarkable, Charlie, what you have, uh, put together.

00:23:13.940 Um, you know, I want to talk a little bit about the book, but I want to get into some specifics,

00:23:18.060 uh, with you that are a little different, but, um, let me, uh, first get your, your call

00:23:24.080 on Super Tuesday and what happened in South Carolina.

00:23:26.940 Yeah, it's fascinating, Glenn, and thanks so much for having me on.

00:23:30.480 It's an honor to speak to you.

00:23:31.900 Um, Bloomberg might be one of the worst politicians I've ever seen in American history.

00:23:37.520 And it's all about Bloomberg, in my opinion, what's happening right now, because I, like

00:23:43.380 many others, believed he would at least have some form of charisma or capacity to the audience.

00:23:53.080 And, and it seems as if, you know, money can buy you a lot.

00:23:56.940 But it cannot buy you, you know, charisma, and it can't buy you connection.

00:24:01.420 Um, and so because of that, Biden, I guess, has just become the default of the establishment

00:24:07.100 pick.

00:24:07.720 And it doesn't seem that everyone's excited to vote for Biden.

00:24:10.060 It just kind of, people are putting up their hands saying, well, I guess we'll vote for

00:24:13.620 him now.

00:24:14.560 And so you're going to see a real collision course.

00:24:16.780 You're going to see Biden, who is going to, who's very controllable by the establishment

00:24:22.500 and very, he will do what he is told by the powers to be.

00:24:27.100 And then you have Bernie Sanders, who is a true revolutionary.

00:24:30.580 He is a true Bolshevik. 0.88

00:24:32.760 He believes, uh, in Russoian, um, Hegelian Marxism, which you have detailed so brilliantly in your

00:24:40.160 books and has been so instructive to me.

00:24:42.860 And it's on a collision course.

00:24:45.980 And so the question is, will it go the way that it went in 2016, where Hillary used a 0.89

00:24:51.620 lot of the power levers to eventually beat Bernie in some, let's just say, questionable

00:24:57.000 ways.

00:24:57.660 I have my doubts.

00:24:59.060 I actually think that Bernie is better suited to defeat Joe Biden this go around.

00:25:04.600 But it's very obvious that the establishment is quite nervous that Bernie Sanders could be

00:25:09.440 the nominee.

00:25:09.880 I have a contrarian view and I actually think Bernie would be harder to run up against than

00:25:13.980 Joe Biden.

00:25:14.940 Me too.

00:25:15.200 I think I'm in the minority opinion.

00:25:17.060 Well, you were, I, you know, I, I listened to the president's speech this weekend where

00:25:20.620 he said, you know, just a quick poll, who thinks it'd be easier to win against Biden

00:25:25.420 than who thinks it'd be easier to, and Bernie, everybody was just out of their minds saying

00:25:30.740 that this was so great that he was going to run against Bernie.

00:25:33.080 And I thought, I, I don't think so.

00:25:35.040 I mean, Biden has no, there's no passion behind Biden.

00:25:38.480 None.

00:25:38.880 That's right.

00:25:39.620 And he plays the old school game.

00:25:42.360 You don't know the game of the supporters, the passion.

00:25:47.160 And, you know, we've never seen a Bolshevik campaign for president of the United States.

00:25:52.400 We have no idea what the president could be facing.

00:25:56.820 That's right.

00:25:57.580 And never underestimate how hard it is to run up against the generosity of promises that

00:26:02.980 might never have to be fulfilled and probably won't be fulfilled.

00:26:05.640 It's very difficult.

00:26:07.120 And it's rooted in divisive victimology, identity politics.

00:26:12.580 And Senator Sanders does that quite well.

00:26:15.420 And you and I both know, Glenn, that the culture has been tilted so far in the wrong direction

00:26:20.760 towards the leftist, Marxist worldview that I think that they've been waiting for a candidate

00:26:25.800 like this.

00:26:26.340 And I do believe they would have a higher turnout.

00:26:28.360 And I do believe that it would be difficult in certain states.

00:26:30.980 Now, do I think it's beatable?

00:26:32.000 Of course, it's beatable.

00:26:33.740 But Joe Biden, he embodies the ruling class more so than any other candidate I could think of.

00:26:40.000 I would rather run against that.

00:26:41.320 I would rather have President Trump ironically run as an outsider, as an incumbent president,

00:26:46.580 one of the first times in America.

00:26:47.760 I would embrace that type of candidacy instead of trying to argue for the status quo, which

00:26:54.020 I don't think that would be it against Bernie.

00:26:56.120 No, but it's really I mean, it's, you know, for people who won't put Donald Trump signs

00:27:01.680 in their yard, I'm going to start making signs.

00:27:05.520 It just says America versus socialism, because that's what it is.

00:27:10.100 And I think there are people who are like, I don't want to put a Donald Trump sign in my

00:27:13.220 yard, because but I think those people would put an America versus socialism sign in their

00:27:17.740 yard, you know, because that's what this would be about.

00:27:21.920 And that is that is a fight that I think we will win, thankfully, at this time in our

00:27:27.500 in our country's history.

00:27:29.080 And it should be a shot. 0.90

00:27:30.300 It should be a fire alarm and a wake up call to every American.

00:27:33.180 So I get that question a lot.

00:27:34.640 And they say, Glenn, they say, how on earth is it possible that a candidate like Bernie can

00:27:39.620 can be, you know, getting as much traction as to have you visited a

00:27:43.120 college campus?

00:27:43.760 Have you seen what our government schools have been teaching these last couple decades?

00:27:48.560 It flows downstream from culture.

00:27:50.740 Andrew Breitbart told us that repeatedly.

00:27:53.320 And he's been proven correct that Bernie Sanders is a byproduct.

00:27:57.040 He's a he's a William Jennings, Brian style.

00:28:01.600 And you know what I mean by that, which is he's trying to use the worst instincts of what

00:28:08.160 would be a populist movement mixed with Marxism.

00:28:10.860 And and it's not going away.

00:28:12.940 I mean, in the in the coming years in American politics, you're going to see even more talented

00:28:18.420 politicians.

00:28:19.040 I mean, you look at Bernie, he's actually quite he's not very talented.

00:28:23.180 He repeats himself a lot.

00:28:25.200 He makes very fatal errors.

00:28:26.620 And I think there's a very interesting thought exercise for you, Glenn.

00:28:30.440 Bernie's not an Alinskyite.

00:28:32.320 You, Glenn, he's not an Alinskyite at all.

00:28:34.300 Bernie is not an Alinskyite in the sense that he does he he did that he does not embrace

00:28:40.860 the symbology or the the history of the country he's trying to take over.

00:28:46.620 Yes.

00:28:46.960 Where Alinsky was very clear.

00:28:48.660 Yes.

00:28:49.060 And in saying that if you're trying to take over a country, do not do not attack the flag,

00:28:55.700 do not attack the songs, do not attack the history.

00:28:58.540 In fact, embrace them.

00:28:59.860 But a true radical disguise is to be someone who he isn't.

00:29:03.200 And Obama did that so well.

00:29:04.820 He was a true Alinskyite.

00:29:06.040 Um, I think Bernie is not Bernie's a true he he almost rejects the doctrine of Alinsky.

00:29:12.940 And so this should be a this should be a wake up call for everyone listening.

00:29:16.420 And it could be a, you know, a fire alarm for a broken culture and for things to come.

00:29:22.480 So I will tell you that I I sat right behind the president in his speech this weekend,

00:29:30.320 and I really watched him and I learned a lot about his connection with with people.

00:29:38.800 He's running, you know, people used to say, well, he's like the guy at the end of the bar

00:29:42.580 who just says things.

00:29:43.700 I don't think that's right.

00:29:44.980 I think people his supporters see him as the president who's also their friend who is now

00:29:52.340 telling them and joking with them and like, this is crazy, right?

00:29:55.840 And he'll be the president when he needs to be the president.

00:29:58.580 But he's still on the outside.

00:30:01.460 And he's bringing the average person along with him.

00:30:05.380 And it's kind of like they're in on it together.

00:30:07.940 Does that make sense to you?

00:30:08.900 That is such a profound point.

00:30:10.040 Yeah.

00:30:10.200 And I write about this in my in my book, The MAGA Doctrine.

00:30:13.280 And it kind of I came to this realization.

00:30:15.360 I went to 10 Trump rallies in the course of 10 weeks when I wrote this book.

00:30:19.560 And I did it kind of on just a total fact finding mission, trying to do what journalists

00:30:23.720 wouldn't do and actually witness and see and learn.

00:30:27.100 And what I realized is exactly the point that you put forward here, Glenn, which is President

00:30:32.940 Trump does not just go to the rallies to fire up the base, which he does, but he goes to

00:30:39.140 actually learn.

00:30:40.760 Yes.

00:30:41.440 He goes to get he wants to see what's resonating with the people out there.

00:30:45.780 He he has a very he moves more around the podium than any politician I've ever seen.

00:30:50.860 And he'll he'll do that famous kind of side view or he'll go and look in people's eyes

00:30:55.720 and say something such as I moved the embassy to Jerusalem.

00:30:59.260 And he'll say the place erupt and I'll say, OK, got it.

00:31:02.980 Yep.

00:31:03.840 They like that.

00:31:05.200 Yeah, he does.

00:31:05.960 He walks back from the podium and then he watches.

00:31:09.700 It's it's phenomenal.

00:31:11.380 He even said at one point, you know what?

00:31:14.700 I'm going to have to ask that question more often.

00:31:17.340 You he was doing internal polling.

00:31:20.640 Yes.

00:31:21.200 And it goes both ways.

00:31:22.900 And Glenn, I'm sure you noticed this, but at that speech, did you see anyone on their

00:31:27.260 phone?

00:31:28.200 No.

00:31:28.460 Did you see anyone texting besides taking pictures, of course?

00:31:31.300 But no.

00:31:31.920 Did you see anyone doing the normal stuff you see during speeches?

00:31:34.680 No.

00:31:35.140 They are locked in and engaged.

00:31:37.100 I mean, I have not seen people so focused on a speaker.

00:31:41.600 And I saw this when I went to these rallies and I wrote this book in Wisconsin and in Florida

00:31:46.380 and in Arizona, where I saw tens of thousands of people at full attention locked in on every

00:31:53.100 word the president was saying, not tweeting, not responding to text messages.

00:31:58.140 And I almost equate it to this was the president giving a shareholder report to the people that

00:32:04.660 put him into office, if you will, as if the American people are the metaphorical board

00:32:09.160 of directors that he believes he needs to continue to report back to and say, here's

00:32:14.220 how we're doing.

00:32:15.460 Here's what you can do.

00:32:17.140 And I'm going to keep fighting for you.

00:32:19.140 So here's how I read this.

00:32:20.520 And I read it very similarly.

00:32:23.260 You know, his speeches, he'll have the speech written.

00:32:25.940 So he's that's the shareholder report.

00:32:28.520 But then it's it's almost as if he's your buddy who's the president and you're alone

00:32:34.960 with him.

00:32:35.920 And he's like, let me tell you what else.

00:32:38.600 I mean, this is great.

00:32:39.720 You know what else happened this week?

00:32:40.960 You know what else this person said or this person?

00:32:43.440 And you're you're laughing and you're getting the inside scoop.

00:32:47.920 So he's more of like your friend who's also the chairman of the board.

00:32:52.440 And you're in the shareholders meeting.

00:32:54.400 But then afterwards, he's like, let me give you the real scoop.

00:32:58.400 It's an amazing thing.

00:32:59.960 I totally missed unless you're there watching him.

00:33:05.220 That's exactly right.

00:33:06.700 And I believe that this is the best example we have in my lifetime and recent American

00:33:13.200 political movements of what citizen government looks like, because, for example, if the president

00:33:18.540 comes to a Trump rally and he says something like, oh, what do you think about, you know,

00:33:23.860 Medicare for all people are upset and they're screaming and you know, OK, I don't like that.

00:33:29.560 Got it.

00:33:29.920 So do you do you agree to Charlie that because your book is your book is really, really good.

00:33:36.240 I'm not going to be able to get into everything.

00:33:38.540 I know we we did a special with you Friday, the Friday night special.

00:33:41.900 It's on Blaze TV, just under Glenn TV or GBTV.

00:33:44.740 And look for last Friday's exclusive.

00:33:48.500 It's about 45 minutes with Charlie on the book.

00:33:51.740 And it's fascinating.

00:33:53.240 You really have to hear it.

00:33:55.560 But the loyalty comes from him listening to them.

00:34:03.180 And and and and also he is he's not going to betray because I really think he gets so

00:34:14.640 much out of that audience.

00:34:16.400 He's it's like the only time he feels safe, I think, which is odd.

00:34:21.280 But it's the only time I think he feels safe to say what he really believes in a room where

00:34:27.940 everybody's going to go.

00:34:29.100 Yeah, that's right.

00:34:30.200 You know, it's like they're friends.

00:34:32.780 And so he's not going to betray them because that's who he that's the only group of people

00:34:37.260 he trusts.

00:34:38.980 And for good reason.

00:34:40.440 I mean, the he feels far more comfortable in front of 10,000, 15,000, 50,000 middle class

00:34:47.260 Americans than at a D.C. cocktail party.

00:34:50.080 Yeah.

00:34:50.840 About whatever is the new creme de la creme in D.C.

00:34:55.840 That's a president I want.

00:34:57.220 I want a president who wants to spend two hours at CPAC on a Saturday, the same week

00:35:02.340 that he flew back 30 to 50 hours round trip from India to represent us abroad the same

00:35:08.560 week.

00:35:08.860 They negotiate peace in Afghanistan and deals with what I call the China virus, not the

00:35:13.300 coronavirus.

00:35:13.700 But he spends two hours with 5,000 middle class Americans in CPAC.

00:35:19.680 That's special.

00:35:21.240 And he got more out of it because after the speech and I've been with him after speeches

00:35:26.180 every, you know, a couple of times.

00:35:27.800 Yeah.

00:35:28.120 And I just watch.

00:35:29.360 And you know what he'll say is like, wow, they really love the fact that moved the embassy.

00:35:33.160 They really like that.

00:35:34.300 And then he internalizes it.

00:35:35.960 And then that that to him is reinforcement for what he's doing.

00:35:41.380 But it's also instructive.

00:35:43.000 He is.

00:35:43.400 He doesn't trust his advisors.

00:35:45.200 And you, you know, you really go over a lot of this in your book.

00:35:48.580 He doesn't trust the advisors.

00:35:52.200 The advisors that he trusts are either his family members or mainly the people.

00:35:59.960 This is this is his advisory board meeting.

00:36:03.500 That's exactly right.

00:36:06.040 And from citizens, the idea of citizen government goes all the way back to the Bible, of course,

00:36:12.140 where the idea of the individual being sovereign.

00:36:15.060 But we look at who exactly is in charge of our country.

00:36:18.120 We, the people, it's all of us, the individuals.

00:36:20.640 And the president recognizes that.

00:36:22.600 And it's a de-emphasis on the on the intellectual, essentially the intellectual superiority of the

00:36:31.500 ruling class, which I love.

00:36:32.700 I absolutely love it because I believe that the overemphasis on that in the last 30 years

00:36:38.240 has actually contributed to the rise of progressivism.

00:36:41.440 And you can say a lot about President Trump, but he has slowed the rise of progressivism more

00:36:46.600 dramatically than any president.

00:36:48.040 Yeah.

00:36:48.300 Reagan.

00:36:49.080 And I think for that, he deserves phenomenal, phenomenal credit.

00:36:52.320 The name of the book is The MAGA Doctrine, The Only Ideas That Will Win the Future by Charlie Kirk.

00:36:59.060 It's available everywhere this week.

00:37:01.360 Get it now.

00:37:02.240 If you'd like to hear more from Charlie, just you can follow him on Twitter.

00:37:07.780 He's got a great podcast.

00:37:08.860 Also, we have him for the Friday night exclusive last Friday.

00:37:13.440 It's available on Blaze TV.

00:37:15.020 Really, really fascinating discussion on the strengths and the weaknesses and and how this

00:37:22.240 election is going to come down with Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk.

00:37:26.280 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:37:47.120 What you're about to hear sounds a little nuts.

00:37:50.240 Quite honestly, it sounds it sounds like a movie.

00:37:52.660 Sounds like something couldn't happen.

00:37:54.520 But let's remember 20 years ago, watching television on your phone while your car was

00:38:01.140 driving you home also was only in a movie.

00:38:05.020 This is real.

00:38:06.720 And the guy, the only guy that I know of that is really watching over is a guy who is author,

00:38:13.840 editor, longtime psychology researcher, professor, distinguished scientist.

00:38:19.260 He's the former editor in chief of psychology today, senior research psychologist at the American

00:38:26.420 Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, also the founder and director emeritus of the

00:38:33.160 Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies in Massachusetts.

00:38:36.380 He has a Ph.D. in psychology from Harvard, author of 15 books.

00:38:41.180 This guy also voted for Hillary Clinton.

00:38:44.700 He is not a guy who is saying, hey, you know, Donald Trump is the greatest and they're rigging

00:38:52.120 it again.

00:38:52.700 This is a guy who actually agrees with the Democratic policies much more than anything of Donald Trump.

00:38:59.860 But he believes first and foremost in the Constitution and that every vote is actually heard and

00:39:07.520 counted and not manipulated.

00:39:09.980 I have tremendous respect for him.

00:39:13.020 Dr. Robert Epstein, explain you right in your in your latest article, no matter which

00:39:22.540 weak candidate the Democrats ultimately nominate, and even with Russia's help, President Donald

00:39:27.020 Trump cannot win the 2020 election for that matter.

00:39:30.580 There are in races nationwide in which the projected winning margins are small, under five percent

00:39:36.400 or so Republicans in general are likely to lose.

00:39:41.740 That is quite a statement.

00:39:44.700 Back it up.

00:39:47.880 Well, unfortunately, those statements are not only true, I'm actually understating the gravity

00:39:56.380 of the problem to understand what's happening here.

00:39:59.820 You have to go back to to to what my Democrat friends call Armageddon Day.

00:40:07.160 You call it Election Day 2016.

00:40:10.220 But they call it Armageddon Day.

00:40:12.940 You have to go back to that day.

00:40:14.840 You have to look at that one hour video that leaked from Google right after the election, in

00:40:23.920 which Google's top executives are saying straight out, this is a disaster.

00:40:30.140 This is a calamity.

00:40:31.480 We're never going to let this happen again.

00:40:34.700 You have to look at some of the whistleblowers who have since been fired by Google or have

00:40:40.580 quit.

00:40:41.780 And they are telling us that from that day forward, Google and to a lesser extent, the

00:40:48.280 other tech companies made a decision.

00:40:51.640 We are going to use every single technique we have available to us to shift votes and make

00:40:58.060 sure that Trump is not reelected.

00:41:00.260 So that's all a matter of record.

00:41:02.800 Now, also, a matter of record is is meticulous scientific research I've been doing since

00:41:10.700 2013 that shows the power that these companies have to shift votes.

00:41:16.900 And I actually can calculate for each technique how many votes they can shift.

00:41:23.040 So you asked, what are the techniques?

00:41:25.820 What can they do?

00:41:27.040 Well, the techniques are unbelievable.

00:41:30.080 They've never existed before in human history.

00:41:32.440 I've been stumbling on them one by one, carefully studying them with tens of thousands of

00:41:40.420 participants in multiple experiments in multiple countries.

00:41:44.660 The techniques are unbelievable.

00:41:47.060 So I can start with the first one I discovered, which is SIEM, the search engine manipulation

00:41:52.200 effect.

00:41:53.160 This is simply the fact that if one candidate is favored over another in Google search results,

00:42:00.600 which virtually everyone uses, that shifts votes to that candidate.

00:42:06.600 And people can't see if there's any bias in search results.

00:42:10.300 Almost no one can see it.

00:42:11.580 Correct.

00:42:12.420 And there's no record of it.

00:42:15.480 Yes.

00:42:15.740 This is called internally at Google.

00:42:17.960 These are called ephemeral experiences.

00:42:20.160 We know this from a leak out of Google of emails to the Wall Street Journal in 2018, where one Googler

00:42:28.420 is saying to fellow Googlers, it's hard to say, how can we use ephemeral experiences to shift

00:42:36.400 people's views on Trump's travel ban?

00:42:40.040 So these are ephemeral experiences.

00:42:42.660 Like you type in a search term, you get some search results, that information you're seeing

00:42:49.300 on your screen is generated just for you, generated on the fly.

00:42:53.720 It affects you because you're likely to click what's at the top.

00:42:58.340 So it definitely has an impact on you.

00:43:01.020 And it disappears and it's gone forever and it's not stored anywhere.

00:43:04.100 So that's ephemeral experiences.

00:43:06.360 It's a perfect kind of manipulation because no one can go back in time and figure out what

00:43:13.460 you were shown.

00:43:14.840 It's perfect.

00:43:16.400 And that technique alone can easily shift more than 20% of undecided voters without their

00:43:24.260 knowledge up to 80% in some demographic groups.

00:43:28.180 That was just my first discovery.

00:43:30.200 That was way back in 2013.

00:43:31.820 Since then, I've discovered about a dozen techniques like that, which are controlled

00:43:38.800 entirely by these executives at these couple of companies.

00:43:44.220 And you can't counteract what they're doing.

00:43:47.080 It's not like a billboard.

00:43:49.040 You see, you put up your billboard, I put up my billboard.

00:43:52.140 You buy your TV commercial, I buy my TV commercial.

00:43:55.300 These techniques are nothing like that because it's one thing if you want to buy some ads and

00:44:01.500 post them on Facebook or something, you know, but then your competitor will do the same

00:44:05.220 and so on.

00:44:06.000 But what if Facebook itself, what if Google itself, what if the platforms want to support

00:44:12.540 one candidate or one party?

00:44:14.660 You cannot counteract what they're doing.

00:44:17.480 Generally speaking, you can't even see what they're doing.

00:44:19.620 Okay, so I remember as a kid, and you've talked about this.

00:44:27.040 I remember as a kid, they said, they're editing films and movie theaters to make you drink Coca-Cola

00:44:32.340 more.

00:44:33.120 They're putting frames in that show an ice cold Coke and it makes you want to get up in the

00:44:40.940 middle and go to the refreshment stand or where Disney is putting in secret sex messages into 0.96

00:44:45.980 the that's nothing, nothing compared to to this.

00:44:52.980 That's right.

00:44:53.700 Those are that's called subliminal influence.

00:44:56.940 And it's a real thing, but it's very, very, very tiny.

00:45:01.340 It's so tiny that we've never even passed any laws in the United States to prohibit it.

00:45:07.960 The UK does prohibit it, but we don't even prohibit it because, again, the evidence shows

00:45:13.020 it has such a tiny effect.

00:45:15.000 But the effects that I've discovered are humongous.

00:45:18.680 For example, for example, there's one which I call DDE, which is the differential demographics 1.00

00:45:27.040 effect.

00:45:28.200 This is so simple.

00:45:30.500 In 2018, on Election Day, Google posted a big message on its home page, which would have

00:45:36.540 been seen on Election Day 500 million times by Americans, they replaced the word Google

00:45:43.420 with the words, go vote, the vote reminder.

00:45:47.680 And they got tremendous praise that day.

00:45:51.120 Look at that great thing, that great public service, you know, that Google is doing.

00:45:55.880 That was not a public service.

00:45:57.600 That was a vote manipulation because Google knows the demographics of the people who are

00:46:02.680 going to see that.

00:46:03.920 And they knew very precisely, I mean, down to the last digit, they knew exactly how many

00:46:10.180 more Democrats would see that reminder than Republicans.

00:46:13.680 If that reminder was seen by everyone that day, that would have given 800,000 more votes

00:46:20.420 to Democrats than to Republicans.

00:46:22.360 So, search suggestions, I mean, I could go on and on because we're actually, we just opened

00:46:29.840 up a line of research on a whole new manipulation, which is, I think, going to be bigger than all

00:46:34.800 the others.

00:46:35.540 Well, I know we're doing, we're doing a special this Wednesday night, and you're going to be

00:46:40.020 part of it.

00:46:41.220 This Wednesday night, we're talking about the stealing of elections.

00:46:45.020 How secure are our elections?

00:46:47.320 Everybody's talking about Russia.

00:46:49.420 Forget about Russia.

00:46:50.420 Forget about Russia.

00:46:52.540 How about this?

00:46:54.080 This has a much bigger potential to really end democracy and quite honestly, free will.

00:47:04.940 You know, there's a debate and I see it happening in the circles of Silicon Valley and those kinds

00:47:13.100 of people.

00:47:14.020 And they're now starting to debate, what is free will?

00:47:16.460 Is there anything like free will?

00:47:18.400 Does it even exist or will it exist in the future?

00:47:22.360 If you're right, doctor, and I believe you are because you've backed it up with the evidence,

00:47:28.880 it dismisses.

00:47:29.960 You think you have free will, but you don't.

00:47:32.940 You're actually being manipulated all the time.

00:47:35.740 Well, yes.

00:47:39.060 And here is a quote from a British economist who was a professor in the United States when

00:47:45.600 he said this.

00:47:46.300 Back in 1957, a world of unseen dictatorship is conceivable, still using the forms of democratic

00:47:54.940 government.

00:47:55.620 And that is what we're up against.

00:47:58.580 And Eisenhower, 1961, in that famous speech of his, he warned not only about the rise of

00:48:04.680 a military-industrial complex, he actually warned about the rise of a technological elite that

00:48:12.100 could take control over public policy without people knowing.

00:48:16.920 That's where we are now.

00:48:19.140 That's exactly what has happened.

00:48:22.480 I mean, I have the numbers.

00:48:24.580 I have the data.

00:48:25.700 My work is meticulous in all respects.

00:48:29.440 And as I say, we're just about to get numbers on a whole new technique that we've discovered.

00:48:34.860 I'm telling you, this stuff is frightening.

00:48:38.740 And the fact that mainstream media and that my friends, the Democrats, are pretty much

00:48:45.440 ignoring what I'm saying, not all of them, but most of them are, that's outrageous.

00:48:49.980 And that's because they're the ones benefiting at the moment from these manipulations.

00:48:55.820 All right.

00:48:56.060 So maybe we'll have you back tomorrow because I would like to hear about the new way in,

00:49:02.300 if you will, on what you've discovered.

00:49:05.000 But we also really want, I urge you, if you are thinking, you know what, I want to donate

00:49:11.780 money.

00:49:12.300 I want to help on something.

00:49:13.980 This is probably the biggest thing that you could do to help preserve the republic.

00:49:19.340 And that is making sure these tech companies are held responsible.

00:49:24.520 He's the only one doing this.

00:49:26.520 He needs to raise an awful lot of money.

00:49:28.780 I want you to go to mygoogleresearch.com.

00:49:32.180 If you have, I don't care if it's $5 or $10,000, please, please consider this as a donation.

00:49:41.980 You go to mygoogleresearch.com.

00:49:44.840 That's mygoogleresearch.com.

00:49:47.100 And hopefully we're going to have some breaking news for you on Wednesday about some of this

00:49:54.160 research.

00:49:54.740 But we really need your support and he needs your support financially.

00:50:02.200 Mygoogleresearch.com.

00:50:07.060 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:50:09.880 All right.

00:50:15.620 So there are two parts of the coronavirus that you really need to understand.

00:50:18.660 The first part is the actual medical side of it.

00:50:23.160 And on that, I have some good news.

00:50:25.340 On the other side of it is the economic meltdown.

00:50:29.520 Now, the Fed looks like they're going to come in and cut rates again on Wednesday.

00:50:35.500 They're encouraging the entire globe, all of the central banks in the world to do the

00:50:40.020 same.

00:50:41.380 This is going to this just a it's like overusing antibiotics.

00:50:49.220 You can use antibiotics, but if you overuse antibiotics, they become worthless.

00:50:54.120 It doesn't have any effect.

00:50:56.160 I have a feeling that they cut rates and they cut them pretty dramatically here.

00:51:00.120 If not this week, maybe in a couple of weeks, but I think you're going to see some Fed cuts

00:51:05.500 and I don't think it's going to actually do much for the economy.

00:51:09.540 I think we are overusing these antibiotics right now, and that should cause some concern.

00:51:18.740 Right now, the economic impact of coronavirus is not seen yet here in America, except for like

00:51:28.000 the Dow, the Dow was down what in four days, 5,000 points, 6,000 points.

00:51:34.740 That's remarkable, remarkable.

00:51:38.280 If you look at the value of the dollar, the value of the dollar is going down because we're

00:51:43.440 going to make more of them.

00:51:44.920 If you look at the Dow, your 401k is down.

00:51:49.200 If you have precious metals, if you have gold, you're way up.

00:51:54.960 I mean, way, way up.

00:51:56.760 That is that should disturb you when the price of gold goes up, especially in a dramatic way.

00:52:03.360 It means that the world is more unstable because the world always goes to gold when things look

00:52:09.700 like a real crisis is at hand.

00:52:11.980 Please understand the coronavirus is going to be with us for a very long time, and what

00:52:22.200 we're looking at now is just the beginning of it.

00:52:26.080 If we don't get a vaccine into people's hands by this time next year, we could have real,

00:52:35.060 real economic downturns and troubles.

00:52:38.240 And especially if Bernie Sanders looks like he might be the president, we could be in

00:52:43.480 a depression quickly.

00:52:45.920 I want you to call Goldline now and find out if gold or silver is right for you.

00:52:51.740 Do it right now.

00:52:53.340 How much risk are you willing to tolerate?

00:52:55.900 I hit my limit last week.

00:52:58.140 Goldline, 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE.

00:53:02.680 Call him and ask him how you can protect your IRA, 401k or other retirement accounts.

00:53:08.780 And just for speaking to somebody today about your portfolio, you're going to get a three

00:53:13.220 quarter ounce pure bullion silver coin at no cost.

00:53:16.820 Call today.

00:53:17.900 The number is 866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

00:53:22.820 All right, here are our daily stats for our coronavirus update.

00:53:28.960 All numbers are locked into place by 5.30 a.m. Central Time.

00:53:37.660 So these are all as of 5.30 this morning.

00:53:40.720 Total confirmed cases, 89,842.

00:53:44.760 That's up about 6,000 from Friday.

00:53:47.580 Total confirmed dead up 255 from Friday.

00:53:53.460 18% of all active cases is steady, considered serious, meaning hospitalization.

00:53:59.040 5% of those require ICU treatment.

00:54:02.320 That number is steady at 18%.

00:54:04.980 The U.S. now has 88 confirmed cases and two deaths, both in Washington state.

00:54:12.280 The CDC website is now showing 472 total citizens have been tested up from 445 last Friday.

00:54:21.900 Now, you're going to start to see the number of those infected in the United States go up.

00:54:27.120 And here's why.

00:54:28.740 Because we're now testing for them.

00:54:31.080 Remember, the CDC website showing 472 total citizens have been tested in the United States.

00:54:43.060 472 people.

00:54:45.740 I believe that coronavirus has been around here for a while, but because our healthcare system is good,

00:54:53.420 because we're not freaking out about it, it's being treated like the regular flu.

00:55:01.080 As these tests now become more and more frequent, because today there are 54 labs now having testing capabilities here in the U.S.,

00:55:12.180 the CDC has certified 12 regional hospitals to perform their own direct testings as of this week.

00:55:19.160 That's new.

00:55:20.140 So now, if you're going to one of these big regional hospitals, you're going to get the testing done right away.

00:55:26.420 And more and more hospitals are going to come online.

00:55:28.900 That means you're going to find more and more people.

00:55:32.580 For instance, we now have a fatality rate in the U.S. of 2.5%.

00:55:40.000 Well, that's really high.

00:55:42.220 But that's because we think there are only 400, what is it, what did I say, 472 tests that have been done.

00:55:52.060 So, when you have 472 tests, how many of those have been confirmed and two people die?

00:56:01.040 Well, how many people in the United States actually have it right now?

00:56:04.380 I think you're going to see these numbers go through the roof.

00:56:07.700 Yeah.

00:56:08.000 I mean, because they think it's been just being passed around, for example, Washington State for weeks and weeks undetected.

00:56:15.600 Yes.

00:56:16.480 Well, that should tell you it's not so bad here.

00:56:20.560 Right.

00:56:21.060 And, you know, like a lot of people, they think are having, they may be passing it without even getting sick at all.

00:56:26.660 Yeah.

00:56:26.760 Showing no symptoms whatsoever.

00:56:28.600 Yeah.

00:56:28.800 Even after the incubation period is over.

00:56:31.140 So, I mean, that being said, there's, in my opinion, no way this thing winds up anywhere near 2.5% or 2.3% fatality rate when this is over.

00:56:41.900 I'll be stunned if it's above one.

00:56:44.440 But that being said, it's still a lot.

00:56:46.340 I mean, when, you know, we talk about the flu itself, it's 0.1% die.

00:56:51.920 But when 30 million people get it every year, that number is a big number.

00:56:55.740 So, let me give you the stats.

00:56:57.180 This is comparing the seasonal flu to COVID-19.

00:57:02.200 And this is why governments are freaking out or taking aggressive action.

00:57:06.680 This is versus the flu.

00:57:09.840 The case fatality rate is currently 2.3% globally.

00:57:15.740 In the United States, it's 2.5.

00:57:17.960 But I don't believe that number because I don't think we know how many people have it.

00:57:22.600 All right.

00:57:22.860 So, the fatality rate is 2.3% globally.

00:57:25.720 The serious complication rate, meaning pneumonia and hospitalization, the common seasonal flu is 0.9%.

00:57:35.440 This is at 18%.

00:57:38.580 So, 18% get pneumonia or have to go to the hospital.

00:57:43.220 This is why it's so deadly for people who are older.

00:57:45.800 Requiring an ICU, the common everyday flu is 0.25%.

00:57:53.980 This is 5%.

00:57:55.520 The rate of infection is 1.3.

00:58:00.640 The rate of infection or the R0 score, which they give smallpox, I think, is like a 15 million.

00:58:07.020 It's very, very virile and spreadable.

00:58:10.620 This is at 4.7.

00:58:12.340 That's a lot.

00:58:14.480 Time that it survives on surfaces.

00:58:17.040 The flu is 4 to 5 hours.

00:58:19.460 COVID-19 is 5 to 9 days.

00:58:23.100 The incubation period, 2 to 3 days for the flu.

00:58:25.700 5 to 14 days for COVID-19.

00:58:29.720 Natural herd immunity, which is really important.

00:58:33.480 The common flu has that.

00:58:35.020 So, in other words, we're all a little bit immune to it and the different strains might hurt us, etc.

00:58:41.180 We don't have immunity towards this.

00:58:44.960 The hospitalization per 1 million infections for the seasonal flu, it's 9,000.

00:58:51.200 For COVID-19, it's 180,000 per million.

00:58:55.180 ICUs per 1 million infections, 2,500 for the seasonal flu, 50,000 for COVID-19.

00:59:05.780 And fatalities per 1 million infections, 1,000 for the seasonal flu, 23,000 for COVID-19, as it stands today.

00:59:17.560 But, again, I think that number will come down.

00:59:19.400 And this is why, of course, you, of course, prepare for the worst-case scenario that this rate sort of continues.

00:59:25.440 It means adding lots and lots of tests.

00:59:27.560 It means all sorts of different things.

00:59:29.080 So, you should prepare to be, you know, incredibly serious.

00:59:32.520 We just, I think, rationally understand that it's not going to be as high as this, thankfully.

00:59:36.880 Yeah.

00:59:37.220 You're going to be, look, we're going to be inconvenienced.

00:59:40.400 And let me just, let me just say this.

00:59:43.880 I've been explaining it for the last few days to people like this, and they seem to connect with it.

00:59:50.720 At first, they freak out.

00:59:52.520 And they think, I'm saying to them, we're all going to die.

00:59:55.620 I'm not saying that.

00:59:57.240 Listen to me carefully.

00:59:58.820 We're all going to get this.

01:00:00.480 All of us.

01:00:01.200 We're all going to get COVID-19.

01:00:02.900 Whether it's this month, next month, this year, next year, five years from now, we're all getting it.

01:00:09.780 Just like we all will get the flu.

01:00:11.240 Exactly right.

01:00:11.980 The flu, the pandemic of 1918, we are still passing around.

01:00:20.460 The seasonal flu is part of that flu, the original flu from 1918.

01:00:29.480 So, we've all had the same flu of 1918.

01:00:33.680 We've all had it several times.

01:00:36.740 Okay.

01:00:37.200 It's incredible.

01:00:37.800 It's incredible.

01:00:38.640 That virus was introduced in 1918.

01:00:41.400 It was a pandemic.

01:00:43.580 Well, we've all had it, and we didn't die.

01:00:46.840 The same is true. 0.99

01:00:48.060 This will be around, most likely, for the rest of our lives.

01:00:51.960 COVID-19 is going to be added as a secondary flu now.

01:00:57.060 So, you'll get this flu, the seasonal flu of 1918, the Spanish flu, and you might get COVID-19.

01:01:04.420 So, there'll be two strains of flu.

01:01:06.920 Now, if it's exactly the same as the flu, that just means we've doubled the amount of deaths every year.

01:01:14.560 65,000 people died last year for the common seasonal flu.

01:01:19.280 And while we've been talking about COVID-19, 18,000 have died this year.

01:01:23.140 You're right.

01:01:23.480 From it.

01:01:23.980 So, more people are dying from the seasonal flu than most likely will die from this flu.

01:01:31.500 Okay.

01:01:31.660 But it's very virile and as far as spreadable.

01:01:36.420 And if it mutates and we don't have any defense against it, it could be bad.

01:01:43.020 It's just the unknowns plus no treatments.

01:01:45.500 But stop thinking that I can't get it.

01:01:49.760 I can't get it.

01:01:50.500 I can't get it.

01:01:52.100 You might already have it.

01:01:54.060 And you might get it.

01:01:56.460 And if it's this month, okay, that's probably going to be scary.

01:02:00.900 But in time, we're all going to get it.

01:02:03.620 We're all going to get it.

01:02:04.880 And the world's not going to end.

01:02:06.600 No.

01:02:06.920 But, I mean, you look at the seasonal flu, right?

01:02:08.720 There are vaccines every year that vary somewhat in effectiveness.

01:02:13.680 But about 50% of people get them, right?

01:02:17.840 Which helps cut down the amount of deaths and helps cut down the spread of the flu.

01:02:23.660 Think of the flu happening with no vaccine at all, which is what this could be.

01:02:29.420 Correct.

01:02:30.080 You're going to see.

01:02:31.100 So, instead of 50% getting a vaccine beforehand, 0% get it.

01:02:34.940 And then add on to that that there's four different medications that treat the seasonal flu.

01:02:39.420 There are zero medications that treat this.

01:02:42.040 So, you're going to.

01:02:43.080 It's going to be dicey.

01:02:44.160 Right.

01:02:44.500 Until we get our arms around it.

01:02:46.220 It's going to be dicey.

01:02:47.060 We know the flu sort of burns out in the summer months.

01:02:49.760 We don't know that about coronavirus yet.

01:02:52.340 If it doesn't.

01:02:52.880 We believe it probably will, but we don't know.

01:02:55.260 If it doesn't, I worry about serious, much more serious economic impact.

01:03:02.220 If we can get this thing to die down, then we at least have time to get the world back

01:03:07.840 on its feet before it hits again.

01:03:10.060 If it just even just slows down, but does not stop as a seasonal flu does, that's going to

01:03:17.980 be a problem for the economy.

01:03:19.460 And we're going to need to have a vaccine and some treatment for it pretty quickly.

01:03:24.120 But this is not Ebola.

01:03:26.660 It's not.

01:03:27.300 One last thing. 1.00

01:03:29.260 Please stop wearing the stupid masks. 1.00

01:03:31.380 Okay. 1.00

01:03:31.880 Stop wearing it.

01:03:32.720 What if it's for fashion? 1.00

01:03:34.220 If it's for fashion, then just stop being stupid. 1.00

01:03:37.140 Okay. 1.00

01:03:37.720 But it doesn't work.

01:03:40.420 Okay.

01:03:40.740 It doesn't work.

01:03:41.900 Even the N95.

01:03:43.300 It has to be fitted to your face.

01:03:46.320 You know, now they're saying, if you have an N95, great.

01:03:48.620 Then wear a regular mask underneath that.

01:03:51.720 Stop it.

01:03:52.260 Stop it.

01:03:54.100 Okay.

01:03:55.800 You know, you should have had an N95 mask or an N100 mask long time ago.

01:04:01.320 But in this particular case, it's not doing anything except stopping doctors where it's

01:04:08.740 really bad from having something that they can put on and take off and dispose of because

01:04:14.980 everybody's keeping them, you know, in their basements and in their bug out rooms.

01:04:19.100 You don't need it.

01:04:20.920 It doesn't work.

01:04:22.880 Okay.

01:04:23.180 For you, it won't work and it's not necessary.

01:04:27.520 Just wash your hands for two minutes, several times a day.

01:04:32.780 Use antibacterial soap and stay informed.

01:04:36.280 And you can find all of this information.

01:04:38.280 By the way, the CDC actually came out, the head of CDC and said, okay, enough with the masks.

01:04:44.220 I mean, it was almost hysterical the way they dealt with it.

01:04:47.920 Please just stop.

01:04:49.060 Um, you can find all of this information now at glennbeck.com and here on the broadcast.

01:04:55.540 First thing, uh, in our number three at this time, every day on the radio program and on
