00:00:00.740 With Pat and Stu today, for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.
00:00:07.680 So much to cover, as always.
00:00:09.860 It's like a Sophie's Choice every single day,
00:00:12.200 because there's just no way you can get to everything.
00:00:16.480 But we will get to as much as we possibly can of all of it.
00:00:21.100 The COVID stuff, the outcry from people who want us to never open America again.
00:00:32.460 Oh, can we please bash Andrew Cuomo a little bit?
00:00:35.140 And yes, we can do that.
00:00:38.380 And we'll get to all of that coming up in 60 seconds.
00:00:42.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:49.080 All right.
00:01:58.640 Supposedly, Joe Biden, who may be about to check out mentally,
00:02:06.540 or maybe already has, in part, checked out mentally.
00:02:10.520 I don't know if he's ready to do it, but it's happening either way.
00:02:12.860 Yes, who is checking out, and I think that's pretty clear
00:02:16.780 because every single video you see from the guy, there are about, I don't know,
00:02:21.860 a hundred different things you can talk about.
00:02:24.320 Like the thing where the geese were honking in the background.
00:02:29.160 Yeah.
00:02:30.540 The things he was saying about President Tweedy, the way he was saying them,
00:02:35.620 the guy who came into the background and was doing the,
00:02:38.500 I don't know who that guy was.
00:02:40.240 There were so many things in that video.
00:02:41.480 What about the idea that the way to win over a lady is to compliment their heft?
00:02:48.340 To compliment their heft?
00:02:51.140 That's how I always have done it.
00:02:52.580 Like whenever I've been at a bar, you know, there's an attractive lady,
00:02:56.460 a couple of stools down, I say, ma'am, impressive heft.
00:03:00.820 And she's like, wow, how do I make it to your hotel room?
00:03:04.860 How can we make it quick?
00:03:05.880 Because now that you've complimented my heft, I am totally powerless against your...
00:03:12.180 Has he actually complimented people's heft?
00:03:14.400 Yeah.
00:03:14.700 Tammy Baldwin, who they're talking about as a potential VP candidate,
00:03:20.300 he was trying to be complimentary to her.
00:03:23.160 And he said she had an impressive heft and lift.
00:03:27.860 And I don't think either one of those things you should say about a woman.
00:03:30.800 I missed the heft and lift compliment.
00:03:33.440 Yeah, I did.
00:03:34.260 I know we had it on Stew Does America.
00:03:37.140 We may have it in our archives if we could look for it.
00:03:39.420 I mean, he can't speak.
00:03:43.380 No, he can't.
00:03:44.780 This is a huge problem for a presidential candidate, Pat.
00:03:48.420 This is not a minor side issue.
00:03:51.560 To me it is.
00:03:52.300 This is like a central issue.
00:03:53.860 Listen to this.
00:03:54.480 Listen to this.
00:03:54.860 But Tammy is an incredibly competent United States Senator with a great deal of heft and lift.
00:04:03.140 Heft and lift.
00:04:04.460 Heft and lift.
00:04:05.040 Here it is.
00:04:05.580 With a great deal of heft and lift.
00:04:09.020 I don't...
00:04:12.020 First of all, here's the definition of heft.
00:04:17.280 Lift or carry.
00:04:19.560 Okay, so she can carry a lot of stuff at the same time?
00:04:22.940 I guess, I mean, kind of what he's saying there is.
00:04:25.080 Or is that like an endurance heft?
00:04:26.620 Yeah.
00:04:26.980 Where you can carry a bunch of little things, but a lot of them.
00:04:30.720 She's got thick thighs is I think what he was...
00:04:33.500 She really does a good job at lifting with her legs rather than her back.
00:04:39.920 And technically, if you really want to go off the definition, it's as if he says she has a strong lift and lift.
00:04:44.940 Yeah.
00:04:45.320 Just the same words.
00:04:46.720 It's the same thing.
00:04:47.220 But what does that mean in this context?
00:04:49.020 What do you mean lift?
00:04:49.720 He just...
00:04:51.800 And that's just a stupid side one.
00:04:53.900 These things happen all the time.
00:04:55.980 He can't...
00:04:57.600 It's obvious, guys.
00:04:58.980 And this is the thing.
00:04:59.700 It's not just us, Pat.
00:05:01.080 This is bipartisan.
00:05:03.520 Everybody can see it.
00:05:04.820 The Democrats can see it, too.
00:05:06.520 He obviously can't do this anymore.
00:05:09.000 Right.
00:05:09.300 It's sad.
00:05:10.100 I don't like it.
00:05:11.360 I don't...
00:05:11.740 You know, it's not fun to watch, but it's quite clear.
00:05:15.660 It's not fun to watch.
00:05:17.260 Um, but you have to point it out because the guy could be president of the United States.
00:05:21.900 So it's really important to pay attention to this.
00:05:24.420 And it's fascinating to me that there are any people who still think they would vote for this guy.
00:05:30.100 Yeah.
00:05:30.480 And apparently, he's still up in the polls.
00:05:33.180 Yeah.
00:05:33.440 I mean, it's pretty clear right now he is leading.
00:05:36.760 Now, look, there's a...
00:05:39.040 People will say, oh, well, the polls, who cares about the polls?
00:05:42.820 They got it wrong in 2016.
00:05:44.580 Taking a step back from that...
00:05:45.820 Actually, the popular vote, they got right.
00:05:47.320 They got right.
00:05:47.920 I mean, it's one of the...
00:05:48.920 They got...
00:05:49.460 They missed the popular vote by, I think, 1.6 points of where it came out.
00:05:53.940 And that was the average of the polls.
00:05:55.440 It was very close.
00:05:56.740 Remember, and this is a fundamentally important thing to know, these national polls are not
00:06:03.580 trying to predict the electoral college.
00:06:05.600 That is not what they're attempting to do.
00:06:07.180 They're attempting to predict the popular vote.
00:06:09.120 And you might say, well, I don't care about the popular vote.
00:06:11.340 That's fine.
00:06:12.360 But it is something...
00:06:13.620 When you're going to dismiss the polls, you have to realize that they actually did fairly
00:06:16.520 well in 2016 nationally.
00:06:18.820 A few states were off.
00:06:20.840 And that's important, right?
00:06:22.240 I mean, it was enough to switch the president, the election around.
00:06:28.620 But it is a very close thing.
00:06:32.100 Here, the lead is not close.
00:06:33.640 I mean, they have Biden up by six and eight and nine points in a lot of these polls.
00:06:36.720 But the caution here is twofold, I think.
00:06:40.880 One, you have to understand and recognize the possibility that this strategy of hiding
00:06:47.700 your presidential candidate could work.
00:06:50.480 It is currently working.
00:06:52.060 This idea that Joe Biden is sitting there and never being seen except when he compliments
00:06:56.520 someone's thighs is a strategy which I think is a wise strategy from Democrats.
00:07:02.940 If I had Joe Biden as my candidate, I would hide the hell out of that guy.
00:07:06.720 I might see if I could build an invisibility cloak.
00:07:10.360 I would invent it and I would have him wear it at all times.
00:07:13.600 I want nobody to know he's our nominee.
00:07:16.660 That would be my strategy.
00:07:18.520 Everything you can to think...
00:07:20.060 What you want to put, I think, in the mind of the voters is the idea that he's just this
00:07:24.100 unnamed Democrat.
00:07:25.780 He's not even a Democrat.
00:07:27.220 He's the unnamed other guy.
00:07:30.060 He's the non-Trump candidate.
00:07:32.360 And you know what?
00:07:33.140 He's probably better.
00:07:34.400 Who knows?
00:07:35.820 You don't know.
00:07:36.820 Because you don't even think about who he is.
00:07:38.600 Don't think about who he is.
00:07:40.240 Whatever you do.
00:07:41.400 Don't think about who he is or what he's saying or how he's, you know, bumbling over a sentence.
00:07:47.280 Just think about he's not the guy you're currently upset with.
00:07:52.180 And that might be enough.
00:07:54.980 The separation point, though, here is that when Donald Trump starts focusing on Joe Biden,
00:08:02.560 he won't be able to hide anymore.
00:08:05.620 Donald Trump has a way of controlling the media that nobody, I would say nobody in history,
00:08:11.360 has ever been able to do.
00:08:13.420 Any president at any time.
00:08:15.340 He can control what they say.
00:08:18.180 They will be on a whole nother story and it'll be like, uh, let me tweet this.
00:08:23.000 Just retweet.
00:08:23.760 Changes the entire news cycle for the day.
00:08:25.760 You know, hey, I'm taking a pill.
00:08:28.140 Hydroxychloroquine.
00:08:28.720 They change the entire scope of what they're going to cover for the entire day because this
00:08:34.580 guy's taking a medication that tens of thousands of people take.
00:08:39.540 Hundreds of thousands of people take.
00:08:41.980 And they just cannot stop themselves.
00:08:44.440 So at some point when we get past, hopefully, this COVID thing and we're in recovery and
00:08:50.820 the economy and it's time for Donald Trump to be making speeches and doing rallies again
00:08:58.140 and talking about Joe Biden, they're not going to be able to hide him anymore.
00:09:01.680 And once that happens, this is going to get a lot closer.
00:09:05.040 And Donald Trump is going to be able to make this election not based on this guy right now
00:09:11.120 who it is.
00:09:11.760 Right now it's nobody.
00:09:12.740 It's just this mythical other candidate who everyone, I think, naturally takes their idea
00:09:21.280 of who would be a good president and just puts it on him.
00:09:24.400 If you're if you have any friendliness to voting for a Democrat, you are thinking yourself,
00:09:29.240 well, he's probably better than this guy.
00:09:31.680 I don't like I don't like Donald Trump for whatever reason.
00:09:34.920 And you're filling in.
00:09:37.020 He's the alternative.
00:09:38.040 And that's it.
00:09:38.680 When you see him perform, you're going to have to make a decision based on him, too.
00:09:43.840 And that's when this this campaign has a good chance of falling apart for Biden.
00:09:47.800 I think is that is that how you say it?
00:09:49.540 Oh, yeah.
00:09:50.280 Yeah.
00:09:50.540 And the other thing is Democrats don't care.
00:09:54.080 They don't even care if if Biden is competent.
00:09:56.780 He's just not Trump.
00:09:58.000 And that's fine with them.
00:09:58.960 No, like this journalist from The Nation, she's Katha Pollitt, who said that she would vote
00:10:05.900 for Biden even if he boiled babies and ate them.
00:10:12.080 Oh, that's an exact quote.
00:10:14.480 If he boiled babies and ate them, unquote.
00:10:19.620 So that's the mindset.
00:10:21.300 That's the mindset.
00:10:21.800 That's how much they hate Donald Trump.
00:10:23.320 That's how much they don't care, really, who their nominee is.
00:10:26.620 If it's not Trump, they're there with him.
00:10:29.120 Well, if they pick Joe Biden as their nominee, it's obvious they don't care who their nominee is.
00:10:32.540 Yeah, exactly.
00:10:33.840 Hey, well, should we pick a guy who can speak?
00:10:37.480 No, who cares?
00:10:39.680 Or you're just not paying attention.
00:10:41.020 And that's possible, too, that they don't pay any attention.
00:10:43.520 Because how many people knew some of the weird things that Barack Obama said, some of the
00:10:48.640 incredible mistakes he made, some of the, you know, the 57 states comment, or you just
00:10:54.560 need an inhalator or a breathalyzer or not a breathalyzer, an inhalator.
00:10:58.900 You don't need either one of those.
00:11:00.340 Yeah, but he had his moments, certainly, where he screwed things up in speeches.
00:11:03.840 But, you know, he came off at least as a competent socialist.
00:11:10.360 Biden isn't even he's not even that.
00:11:13.520 He has he's playing to the far left to try to win over these Bernie people in the AOC
00:11:18.080 types.
00:11:18.700 So he's he's not even running as a moderate.
00:11:21.460 That's not even happening.
00:11:22.880 People have it in their head.
00:11:24.400 He's a moderate.
00:11:25.280 Why?
00:11:26.480 Why?
00:11:27.020 Because he's to the right of Bernie Sanders.
00:11:29.320 Well, isn't everyone in America to the right of Bernie Sanders?
00:11:33.660 Like to think so.
00:11:34.500 I'd like to think so.
00:11:36.140 You know, he was one of the most liberal senators when he ran for president in 2008.
00:11:40.940 You know, I think the difference people get confused because Joe Biden has these positions
00:11:46.860 that sound a bit conservative as compared to today's Democratic Party in his past.
00:11:53.540 That doesn't make him conservative.
00:11:55.360 That just makes him old.
00:11:56.860 He's just been around for a long time.
00:11:58.580 When the liberal position was something else 20 years ago, he held that.
00:12:05.880 Well, now they've moved the goalposts so far to the left that his 20 years ago stances seem
00:12:12.840 conservative in retrospect.
00:12:15.180 But they weren't at the time.
00:12:16.960 He just he was he's always been a leftist.
00:12:19.400 He's always been a guy.
00:12:20.700 He's a system guy as opposed to Bernie Sanders.
00:12:23.220 But other than that, there's very there's not that much difference.
00:12:26.180 Yeah.
00:12:26.340 I mean, they have slightly different policies, but this guy is a hardcore leftist.
00:12:31.900 Yeah.
00:12:32.080 We mentioned this before.
00:12:33.480 He and Obama were the two most liberal senators in the Senate in 2008.
00:12:37.600 Yeah.
00:12:38.220 They weren't.
00:12:38.540 It's not Joe Manchin we're talking about.
00:12:40.260 Right.
00:12:40.760 Not by any stretch of the imagination.
00:12:44.120 He's it's it's frustrating because people, you know, because the perception is, as you said,
00:12:50.780 the opposite of that, and that's how Overton windowed we are.
00:12:56.020 So I don't know if there was any way around that.
00:12:59.520 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B.E.C.K.

00:14:29.060 So do you think there's going to be a Democrat convention?
00:14:31.320 Like an actual, not a virtual, but because a lot of Democrats are saying there can't be
00:14:35.100 a virtual convention.
00:14:37.420 It's got to be an actual convention.
00:14:39.300 You think there will be one?
00:14:42.800 I would think so.
00:14:45.180 I would think they would find a way to get everybody together.
00:14:48.160 I mean, they have to figure out a way to put Michelle on the ballot.
00:14:52.460 They're trying.
00:14:53.660 They would love that, obviously.
00:14:55.140 Well, yeah.
00:14:55.660 I mean, she would be really formidable.
00:14:58.140 She's got such a high approval rating that I think he wins if she's on the ticket.
00:15:02.800 You know, who knows how she reacts in that moment, though?
00:15:05.140 I mean, who knows how she reacts as the focus of the pressure that Donald Trump brings?
00:15:10.340 But still, she would come in.
00:15:12.360 I mean, she certainly would open the race as the favorite.
00:15:15.780 I mean, there's no question about it.
00:15:16.880 Oh, yeah.
00:15:17.240 Now, when she starts talking, who knows?
00:15:20.080 But I mean, you know, the media is going to give her the most overwhelmingly positive treatment
00:15:23.480 you've ever seen in your life.
00:15:25.120 Well, when she started talking in 2008, they quickly sent her back home.
00:15:30.900 Please stop talking.
00:15:32.060 Right.
00:15:32.260 That's true.
00:15:32.820 However, you know, she's not a dumb woman.
00:15:36.480 Not at all.
00:15:36.880 And she's had.
00:15:37.400 No, she's just more radical.
00:15:39.060 She is more radical.
00:15:40.140 Than even Barack Obama is.
00:15:41.240 I think that's true.
00:15:41.800 But also has had 12 years to go through a presidency and go through a.
00:15:49.500 Temper her words if she needs to.
00:15:51.520 Yeah.
00:15:51.660 I mean, they didn't have those incidents in 2012, largely.
00:15:54.300 And she's gone through book tours and all of these other things since.
00:15:58.420 I'm not saying she ever had a tough question in her entire life, but she is.
00:16:01.840 She as a candidate would be formidable.
00:16:04.400 I don't think that that's going to happen.
00:16:05.980 It's interesting, though.
00:16:06.600 She doesn't seem to want to.
00:16:07.840 She doesn't seem to want to.
00:16:08.700 The question I would say is like, let's say it's.
00:16:11.480 October 1st and Joe Biden is down by nine points and it looks terrible.
00:16:18.860 He's got the scandals popping up, this Ukraine stuff.
00:16:22.460 There's more tapes that are leaked out.
00:16:25.120 All of this.
00:16:25.700 It's just at the point where the American people are like, absolutely not.
00:16:28.260 Is there a question there where you say, you know what, Joe, your, quote unquote, health
00:16:35.380 problems that we didn't realize until this very moment are considerable.
00:16:39.300 Maybe it's time you step down.
00:16:40.640 And if it was that late and they were to offer, let's say, Michelle the nomination.
00:16:45.840 I mean, she doesn't want to barnstorm around Iowa for 15 months.
00:16:49.460 No.
00:16:49.720 But does she want to, for four weeks or five weeks, do major speeches where all the media
00:16:55.860 will do is fawn over her and then she's handed the presidency?
00:16:59.420 That might be tempting for anybody.
00:17:01.540 You know?
00:17:01.840 And maybe even Michelle is like, I can leave Martha's Vineyard for five weeks.
00:17:04.500 I can do it.
00:17:05.260 Yeah.
00:17:05.860 Or maybe four.
00:17:06.500 I'll take a vacation week in the middle.
00:17:07.940 Yeah.
00:17:08.620 And maybe that happens.
00:17:09.940 But even under those circumstances, it's probably more likely that it would be Hillary.
00:17:14.660 I don't think.
00:17:15.640 I do not think that.
00:17:17.340 You don't?
00:17:17.520 Actually, I think she's the least likely candidate in America to get that nomination.
00:17:24.020 I think you have a better chance of winning the Democratic nomination than Hillary Clinton
00:17:27.280 does.
00:17:27.500 You think they're that done with her?
00:17:28.020 They hate her.
00:17:29.380 They hate her as much.
00:17:30.680 They think she can win, though.
00:17:32.120 I don't think they do.
00:17:33.360 I think they do believe she can win.
00:17:34.200 You might be right on that.
00:17:35.580 But my case would be, they look at, like we look at, I'm trying to think of a, they
00:17:39.800 looked at Al Gore, right?
00:17:41.060 Al Gore went and he lost to George W. Bush, right?
00:17:43.700 And what they saw out of Al Gore is this fighter who believed in something that was virtuous
00:17:50.840 and who had the election stolen from him, right?
00:17:53.540 That's what they saw.
00:17:54.520 And with Hillary Clinton, they see someone who lost to the worst presidential candidate
00:18:00.060 in American history.
00:18:01.020 Again, this is what they're saying.
00:18:02.420 It's not what I'm saying.
00:18:03.860 And they see this, they see her as just like, you blew that race?
00:18:09.420 Yeah.
00:18:10.040 Screw off.
00:18:11.300 Every time she comes out and talks, the left, you know, runs her over the coals.
00:18:15.840 Now, if she was the nominee, obviously that would change.
00:18:18.600 But, you know, I think it would be much more likely to pull out, you know, some random senator,
00:18:24.880 you know, give it to Amy Klobuchar or Tammy Baldwin or some random person than to hand
00:18:32.060 it to Hillary Clinton for a second go at it.
00:18:33.900 I just don't think they have any interest in that.
00:18:35.900 And I think that's smart, by the way.
00:18:37.000 Or you might resurrect Bernie at that point.
00:18:39.540 Yeah.
00:18:39.900 I don't think they like Bernie really either.
00:18:41.400 They don't like him.
00:18:42.240 Bernie, though, at least would have an argument.
00:18:43.620 He came in second, right?
00:18:44.660 Yeah.
00:18:44.920 If you're going to pick anyone from that field, you have to pick the guy who came in second.
00:18:48.280 Yeah.
00:18:48.560 I think.
00:18:49.400 So, if you're not going to do that, then I think you have to pick from outside of that pool.
00:18:52.900 It's interesting.
00:18:53.420 You look at the predicted.org as a site where you can go and you can put real money on political
00:18:59.620 outcomes, right?
00:19:00.420 It's a gambling site, essentially.
00:19:01.740 Now, wait.
00:19:01.960 It's investment.
00:19:02.880 Why would you say the word gambling is associated with a site?
00:19:07.880 I apologize.
00:19:08.660 This is nothing like a gambling site.
00:19:10.600 It's a prediction engine, okay?
00:19:13.260 Oh, okay.
00:19:14.220 That involves real investment.
00:19:16.240 Wow.
00:19:16.720 That's how they would technically word it.
00:19:19.780 And it is legal, by the way, in the United States.
00:19:21.620 They have a clearance from the government to do this.
00:19:24.340 You know, for research purposes, really, like, what do people, when they put their real
00:19:29.260 money down, actually believe?
00:19:30.920 Because, you know, you could tell a pollster, whatever you want, what do you actually believe?
00:19:34.060 Well, right now, Joe Biden is at 85% chance to win the Democratic nomination.
00:19:39.960 Not to win the election, but just to actually get the nomination for the party that has
00:19:46.760 no other candidates currently running.
00:19:49.440 And they're still saying, yeah, there's a 15% chance this guy does not last.
00:19:52.800 That is not something that would be promising.
00:19:54.380 That is in the back of their mind, though.
00:19:55.940 Oh, yeah.
00:19:56.260 Somebody else swoops in that they are really married to, because I don't know how married
00:20:02.560 they are to Joe Biden.
00:20:04.260 No, and they're not married to him.
00:20:05.780 No, if he looks like he's going to lose, they completely control this, right?
00:20:10.040 If the media and the left decided, you know what, we're back to believing all women, and
00:20:15.840 they just started giving Tara Reid all the credibility of the media, he's dead.
00:20:19.520 He's gone.
00:20:20.680 He's toast.
00:20:21.560 The campaign is over for him.
00:20:23.440 They control him completely in this situation.
00:20:26.200 By the way, speaking of that, did you see the Ami Horowitz interview on the street?
00:20:29.820 No.
00:20:30.080 Where, this is fantastic, we should play this, and maybe we'll do that coming up here, where
00:20:35.440 he goes on the street and asks all these Democrats, do women, should they be believed?
00:20:41.240 Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
00:20:43.000 Then he asks, do you believe Tara Reid?
00:20:46.160 Oh, no.
00:20:47.580 You've got to see it to believe it.
00:20:49.600 Coming up in just a few minutes.

00:23:19.080 Okay.
00:23:19.460 So subscribe if you get a second.
00:23:21.760 Maybe we should do some of this stuff later on Andrew Cuomo, because he is like my personal
00:23:27.160 jihad, which, by the way, means struggle.
00:23:30.460 Right.
00:23:31.020 He's my personal struggle.
00:23:32.020 And it's a holy struggle, if I'm not mistaken.
00:23:33.420 It's a holy struggle.
00:23:34.460 Yeah.
00:23:34.660 But secular.
00:23:36.160 It's a secular holy struggle.
00:23:39.400 Because as we know, it's mostly secular.
00:23:43.260 The Muslim Brotherhood, at least, is mostly secular.
00:23:45.820 Mm-hmm.
00:23:46.320 But yeah, and I just, I can't understand this fascination with this guy who has been in an
00:23:54.800 utter disaster.
00:23:55.960 Yeah.
00:23:56.320 Like, overseeing the worst parts of the coronavirus pandemic in the entire world.
00:24:04.840 Yeah.
00:24:05.520 Not even just the United States.
00:24:07.520 Right!
00:24:08.300 The only thing.
00:24:09.000 And yet they love him in New York.
00:24:10.540 Yeah.
00:24:10.700 They love him.
00:24:11.760 I know.
00:24:12.180 Well, that's fading.
00:24:12.860 It is fading.
00:24:13.520 I mean, he was up 80%.
00:24:14.620 It's about time, because, I mean, how do you do such a bad job?
00:24:18.100 In fact, he was sending COVID patients to nursing homes.
00:24:23.560 I believe it to be the worst single decision in the entire pandemic.
00:24:28.780 And he got away with it.
00:24:29.800 Now he's actually trying to blame Trump for it.
00:24:32.180 Of course.
00:24:32.600 Of course he is.
00:24:33.180 Because where else is he going to go?
00:24:34.480 Wow.
00:24:34.780 He instituted a policy which guaranteed the import of COVID-19 positive patients into
00:24:44.260 nursing homes.
00:24:45.060 Right.
00:24:45.320 Where he himself admitted were the people that were the most vulnerable.
00:24:49.300 Exactly.
00:24:49.900 And then he also said.
00:24:51.220 It didn't make any sense at all.
00:24:52.140 Imagine you're running one of these places, right?
00:24:53.880 And you're like, wait, you're going to do what?
00:24:55.700 We don't even have the facilities to deal with a pandemic.
00:24:58.480 We're just, we're a nursing home.
00:24:59.760 Yeah.
00:25:00.160 Like, we can help, you know, basic medical needs.
00:25:03.080 Obviously, we know nursing homes have those, some capabilities, but they're not designed
00:25:07.180 to deal with a pandemic.
00:25:08.840 That's not exactly what they're not designed to do.
00:25:11.260 And then they all said this, by the way, at the time.
00:25:14.060 Yeah.
00:25:14.200 They didn't want that.
00:25:15.560 We do not want this to happen.
00:25:17.500 Then you think, okay, well, if you are, if you have someone in your, in your nursing
00:25:21.560 home, they have COVID-19, you have to let them back in.
00:25:24.880 At least you can not, though, import new patients that aren't your patients in that are COVID-19
00:25:32.080 positive, right?
00:25:32.660 So you can test them as they come in and make sure if they're positive.
00:25:35.040 No, he actually prevented the nursing homes from testing the patients.
00:25:40.120 So they couldn't, they couldn't even know if they were COVID-19 positive.
00:25:44.520 That is, it's madness.
00:25:46.300 I don't even understand it.
00:25:47.560 I don't even understand why you would do it.
00:25:49.380 Let me ask you this.
00:25:50.120 If I were to come to you and say, Pat, you know what?
00:25:51.900 We got a real problem with old people.
00:25:53.400 There's too many of them.
00:25:54.200 Let's kill them all off.
00:25:55.220 Give me a policy that will do it.
00:25:57.040 Would you design a different policy?
00:25:58.740 No, that would be the best way to do it.
00:26:00.440 Exactly what you do.
00:26:01.480 Everyone's like, oh, this guy, you know, there's a viral video out there where this
00:26:05.980 guy is punching these people.
00:26:07.900 A nurse is punching these defenseless old people in a nursing home.
00:26:12.160 It's disgusting.
00:26:13.280 And the guy got arrested.
00:26:14.240 They did find him.
00:26:14.920 So disturbing.
00:26:15.460 It's revolting.
00:26:17.440 But compare that to what Andrew Cuomo did.
00:26:21.120 Yeah.
00:26:21.500 It's worse.
00:26:21.960 You know, there's thousands of dead people because Andrew Cuomo and several other Democratic
00:26:27.240 governors, by the way, instituted this policy or a version of it.
00:26:31.240 And it costs thousands of people their lives in what is seemingly the most obvious outcome
00:26:39.060 that could be imagined from a policy where you take people who are vulnerable to a pandemic
00:26:44.380 and import intentionally patients inside of a nursing home.
00:26:49.420 Like, of course, this is what is going to happen.
00:26:51.920 Of course.
00:26:53.000 Yeah.
00:26:53.740 It's incomprehensible that they would do this.
00:26:56.380 And finally, after a month and a half, he withdrew the policy, but the damage had been done
00:27:03.480 already.
00:27:03.980 Oh, yeah.
00:27:04.960 Oh, by far.
00:27:06.340 So we've got some interesting video to show you concerning Andrew Cuomo coming up in a few
00:27:13.640 minutes.
00:27:13.740 His brother, too.
00:27:14.820 Oh.
00:27:15.700 Absolute nightmare.
00:27:16.800 You know, in their fight over their mom and who is loved more.
00:27:21.600 I don't care.
00:27:22.400 Yeah.
00:27:23.340 Who your mom loved more.
00:27:25.180 I don't care.
00:27:26.380 I do.
00:27:26.760 I do feel like the tides are starting to turn on that.
00:27:29.840 Like, people are sick of the Cuomo brothers schtick.
00:27:33.340 They're starting to realize it.
00:27:35.140 You know, I think there's a little bit of a rally behind the guy that goes on in a moment
00:27:39.240 like that where you're like, you know what?
00:27:40.840 He's the only thing we have.
00:27:42.040 We better.
00:27:42.840 I hope he's doing a good job.
00:27:44.060 You're almost convincing yourself he's doing a good job.
00:27:46.420 But now that it's almost like a wartime president.
00:27:48.660 Yeah.
00:27:49.200 You just believe in hope.
00:27:51.220 Yeah.
00:27:51.460 But we're getting to a point now where people are actually looking at what he's done.
00:27:54.400 And, you know, I can't imagine this holds up.
00:27:57.440 But, you know, look, this is this is there's so much partisanship and so much tribalism around this stuff.
00:28:03.160 I mean, you look at the stuff with Biden.
00:28:04.740 You were mentioning before with with Tara Reid.
00:28:07.380 Do we believe all women or not?
00:28:09.860 Right.
00:28:09.980 I mean, what about the hashtag believe women that there was that was a hatch hashtag that
00:28:14.980 was circulating during the Me Too stuff?
00:28:16.840 Believe women.
00:28:18.040 Well, Ami Horowitz put that to the test.
00:28:22.800 And here's what happened.
00:28:24.700 I'm Ami Horowitz.
00:28:25.980 I'm back in the East Village.
00:28:27.640 Believe all women has been the mantra of the left since the Kavanaugh hearings.
00:28:31.680 But do they really believe that?
00:28:38.520 How important is it to believe women?
00:28:40.980 I think it's very important.
00:28:41.980 It's totally you believe men.
00:28:44.060 Why don't you believe women?
00:28:45.200 Same thing.
00:28:45.880 It's important.
00:28:46.140 What's this?
00:28:46.860 Yes.
00:28:47.920 Well, of course, we should believe women.
00:28:49.900 It's important.
00:28:52.040 Duh.
00:28:52.680 Yeah.
00:28:54.040 And it will always be important.
00:28:55.600 And someone who was sexually assaulted.
00:28:57.380 And yeah, it happened in high school.
00:29:02.020 And I was told not to do anything about it because the guy was the star soccer player in
00:29:07.500 high school.
00:29:08.060 Nobody would believe me.
00:29:09.140 Absolutely important.
00:29:10.300 No one believed me.
00:29:11.560 I did 35 years in jail for killing my abuser.
00:29:14.880 So I have very strong feelings.
00:29:16.500 Tara Reid.
00:29:17.280 She's the one who was accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault.
00:29:19.660 Do you believe her?
00:29:20.200 I think she's an employee of Trump.
00:29:21.780 I think she's despicable.
00:29:23.340 Do you guys believe Tara Reid?
00:29:25.220 The allegations?
00:29:25.980 No.
00:29:26.220 No.
00:29:27.080 No.
00:29:28.020 Do you believe her allegations?
00:29:29.300 Uh, no.
00:29:30.420 No, not really.
00:29:31.640 I don't believe her.
00:29:32.660 The timing is also very bizarre.
00:29:35.000 So with Tara Reid, it just doesn't seem as credible.
00:29:37.320 I personally don't know why she's coming out now.
00:29:39.480 She should have spoken up earlier.
00:29:41.240 And we need Biden.
00:29:42.140 27 years ago.
00:29:43.040 I remember 27 years ago.
00:29:44.460 Joe Biden, to be fair, maiden, he doesn't remember what he had for breakfast today.
00:29:47.920 I actually have the best memory.
00:29:49.260 You know, going back to the Brett Kavanaugh, I thought they were, she was very credible.
00:29:54.380 Can you explain to us, to the audience, kind of the difference between Tara Reid's allegations
00:29:59.580 and the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford, of the...
00:30:03.100 Hello?
00:30:08.600 Uh...
00:30:08.920 Yeah?
00:30:11.440 Oh my God.
00:30:12.120 You know, I don't know, but I recall, since my memory is so...
00:30:15.460 To specifically say...
00:30:16.980 I actually have the best memory.
00:30:19.640 Biden's not going around saying, yo, I love beer.
00:30:22.160 And like, I mean, I don't know if you saw Kavanaugh talk, but that was just...
00:30:26.240 He's not going around saying, I love beer.
00:30:28.400 What's that to do with that?
00:30:29.380 It's crazy.
00:30:30.420 Hashtag, believe all women.
00:30:31.900 Thank you.
00:30:32.260 Hey, have a good one.
00:30:32.920 Bye.
00:30:33.260 Thank you.
00:30:33.420 Believe all women.
00:30:34.200 All right.
00:30:34.500 Peace, guys.
00:30:35.220 Believe all women.
00:30:36.640 Take care of yourself.
00:30:38.060 God, that's so good.
00:30:38.760 Well, I mean, all...
00:30:40.860 Except Tara Reid.
00:30:42.400 Yeah.
00:30:43.420 Didn't we make that clear in the first place with the believe all women thing?
00:30:46.760 It was all except her.
00:30:49.440 Except anybody who says something about a guy we want to vote for.
00:30:53.240 I mean, Ami Horowitz has...
00:30:54.960 He does such a good job on those things.
00:30:56.140 Oh, that was great.
00:30:56.800 Because there's something convincing about him where it doesn't feel to these people
00:31:02.620 on the street that he's coming off as like, I'm making a point about your hypocrisy.
00:31:08.440 Like, he's somehow able to keep them in this mode where they think they're talking to someone
00:31:12.120 friendly.
00:31:13.540 And it is a...
00:31:15.380 I mean, it is a disaster.
00:31:17.180 Yeah.
00:31:17.500 It's so...
00:31:18.360 It really is pathetic.
00:31:20.080 I mean, it's shown that entire movement to be...
00:31:25.420 A sham.
00:31:25.960 A sham, at least as it relates to Democrats and their, you know, their Kavanaugh stuff.
00:31:31.600 It's so obviously just partisan nonsense.
00:31:35.260 They don't care.
00:31:35.860 They never cared for a second about Christine Blasey Ford.
00:31:40.120 Oh.
00:31:40.320 Never cared about her or what may or may not have happened to her.
00:31:44.600 They didn't care for a second.
00:31:46.740 And the fact...
00:31:47.360 I mean, it was proven because as soon as Kavanaugh gets on the Supreme Court, have they mentioned
00:31:50.840 her once?
00:31:51.540 Nope.
00:31:52.460 Don't even remember that she's...
00:31:53.780 Not that I've heard.
00:31:53.820 Have they filed charges against Brett Kavanaugh?
00:31:57.240 I missed it if they did.
00:31:59.120 Because they could.
00:32:00.140 And I mean, for them to say, oh, that was 27 years ago.
00:32:03.940 Why now?
00:32:05.480 Blasey Ford was 37 years ago.
00:32:08.040 Yeah.
00:32:08.820 And to think about...
00:32:09.500 So...
00:32:10.240 Think about the differences here, Pat.
00:32:11.520 We have absolute proof that Tara Reid worked in the office with Joe Biden.
00:32:17.740 Yes.
00:32:17.940 Let's just start there.
00:32:18.840 We have no evidence, as far as I can remember, that Christine Blasey Ford even ever met Brett
00:32:25.440 Kavanaugh.
00:32:25.820 Let alone was at the party the night in question.
00:32:28.320 Which, we don't know what the night is in question because she couldn't remember it.
00:32:31.520 We don't know what the night is.
00:32:32.480 We don't know what the house is.
00:32:33.580 We don't know the date.
00:32:34.640 We don't know any of it.
00:32:35.480 We do know that people do remember Tara Reid disappearing oddly in the middle of her job
00:32:43.260 for no reason.
00:32:44.600 We do know that she said that her mother called in to...
00:32:48.640 Larry King.
00:32:49.060 Larry King.
00:32:49.820 Which...
00:32:50.420 It did happen.
00:32:51.000 She did.
00:32:51.620 She did.
00:32:52.140 Yeah.
00:32:52.320 We do know that she told multiple people over the years that this did occur.
00:32:57.380 And they backed up that story.
00:32:58.460 And they backed up that story.
00:32:59.180 Now, look, that does not mean Joe Biden did this, right?
00:33:03.040 People, like...
00:33:05.560 But it lends credence to the story, for sure.
00:33:07.660 It certainly does, right?
00:33:08.780 It's, you know, we have a justice system for a reason.
00:33:11.800 And, you know, look, if you, if everyone, if we decided we wanted to take out some important
00:33:16.920 person, we could all easily align our stories and say, okay, say this, you say this, you say
00:33:23.900 this.
00:33:24.380 Three or four people absolutely could do that.
00:33:26.220 I'm not saying that's what happened here.
00:33:27.220 I don't know.
00:33:28.180 But it could happen.
00:33:29.780 The Larry King thing is a lot more difficult to do.
00:33:32.000 Yeah.
00:33:32.200 Really difficult.
00:33:33.520 Yeah.
00:33:33.760 Because, you know, there's a national show.
00:33:35.220 Just getting on that show, I'm sure at the time, was probably difficult for her to get
00:33:38.980 on and be able to say that and then have it be recognized as the person that they go
00:33:42.400 find the tape.
00:33:43.680 So...
00:33:43.920 And you're doing that in 1993, what, setting up your 2020 allegation?
00:33:47.840 Right.
00:33:48.100 Well, I mean, exactly.
00:33:49.940 I don't think that that's true.
00:33:50.980 Though, I would say she never mentioned rape, right?
00:33:54.000 No.
00:33:54.200 She did mention a problem with the...
00:33:57.660 So, we don't know what the level of that accusation was.
00:33:59.900 And I would say, too, it's possible that you get fired, you create a fiction, you tell
00:34:07.880 people to justify what happened, and it turns into a long-term story.
00:34:13.500 Is it possible?
00:34:14.380 Yes, it's possible in the way that all sorts of crazy things are possible.
00:34:19.880 People win the lottery multiple times.
00:34:22.860 So, it's possible.
00:34:24.600 Sure.
00:34:25.200 It's possible that these things go on, but it's very unlikely.
00:34:29.780 It's possible monkeys may fly out my butt.
00:34:32.240 Exactly.
00:34:32.620 It's just not likely.
00:34:33.800 It's not likely.
00:34:34.280 You know, it's not likely.
00:34:35.140 I don't know how many monkeys you've tried to store.
00:34:38.340 So far, none.
00:34:39.400 None.
00:34:39.900 Yeah.
00:34:40.200 It's probably the best number to try to store there.
00:34:42.740 Yeah.
00:34:43.260 Yeah.
00:34:43.460 Zero.
00:34:44.160 There are crazy things that happen, right?
00:34:45.780 There are crazy things.
00:34:46.600 Like a guy sat home in the 1980s, and he started watching Press Your Luck, the game show.
00:34:54.600 And he had a VHS recorder.
00:34:56.560 And he methodically recorded where the boxes bounce around the outside border until he figured out that one specific block never turned into a whammy that would cost him all of his money.
00:35:09.560 So, he sat there and studied the patterns and recognized that it repeated, then went to California, got on the show, Press Your Luck, and was able to win like 10 times as much as any other candidate or any other contestant because he knew all of the patterns.
00:35:28.220 He had memorized how the game board worked.
00:35:30.740 That happened in real life.
00:35:32.360 But then that guy left with all of his money and wound up losing all of it and various scams and other things.
00:35:41.740 That's a real story.
00:35:43.280 It's a story that actually occurred.
00:35:45.700 And he went on the run at the end of his life before he died.
00:35:48.660 All of that actually happened.
00:35:50.020 It was going to be.
00:35:51.240 It was scheduled at one point to be a Bill Murray movie.
00:35:53.600 And what a fantastic movie that would have been.
00:35:55.780 They never made it.
00:35:56.440 Why didn't he do it?
00:35:57.120 I don't know.
00:35:57.720 I don't know what happened.
00:35:58.680 I mean, eventually this is going to be a movie.
00:36:00.060 But it's a great story and it's a real guy who did this.
00:36:03.320 But like, you know, crazy stories happen.
00:36:06.620 But like all of these things adding up would at least indicate that it goes well beyond the standard of proof that Democrats have wanted for any Republican in a similar situation.
00:36:19.500 You know, any time.
00:36:21.120 I mean, we remember the James Comey situation where the whole point was contemporaneous notes.
00:36:27.260 He took a contemporaneous note and that was proof that that X, Y, and Z happened.
00:36:32.240 All he did.
00:36:32.840 The guy, one guy just wrote down, yeah, this happened.
00:36:35.800 And that was enough for everybody on the left.
00:36:38.620 These are contemporaneous notes.
00:36:40.120 She told all these people at the time that this went on and it's not Believe All Women anymore.
00:36:45.520 That's dead.
00:36:46.160 It's gone.
00:36:46.840 Completely dead.
00:36:47.360 We never meant it.
00:36:48.380 And when you ask them, well, wait a minute.
00:36:50.220 What about Believe All Women?
00:36:51.020 And you have someone who's maybe a little bit more thoughtful than the people that Ami ran into.
00:36:57.520 What they will say is, no, I didn't mean believe all women all the time no matter what.
00:37:02.160 What we said is we need to listen to women.
00:37:04.440 And then, you know, obviously we have the due process that goes on.
00:37:08.500 And you're just describing what we've been saying the whole time.
00:37:12.160 And we still continue to say it today.
00:37:14.500 That's the difference between a lot of people on the left and the media and a lot of people on the right.
00:37:19.140 I have not heard one person change their standard on the right on this.
00:37:24.820 Everyone's saying, like, look, you can't convict him over this stuff.
00:37:27.720 You might want to because you want him to lose the presidency.
00:37:30.500 But that's not the way we operate in this country.
00:37:33.060 888-727-BECK.
00:37:36.000 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
00:37:37.840 You know, there are those people, and they're usually moms, that always are prepared for anything.
00:37:52.580 You have a cut.
00:37:53.300 I got the Band-Aid.
00:37:54.440 You need a battery.
00:37:55.360 They have multiple sizes on hand.
00:37:57.400 But if you're worried about identity theft and you're only monitoring your credit,
00:38:02.580 well, then they are not as prepared as they think they are.
00:38:05.020 Breaches seem like they're happening more and more these days.
00:38:08.840 And with breached information, like your name, social security number, or more,
00:38:13.100 criminals can commit identity theft.
00:38:15.440 That's why LifeLock sees more threats, like someone taking out a payday loan in your name.
00:38:20.400 And they alert you to the possible suspicious activity.
00:38:23.700 And if you end up having an identity theft issue,
00:38:26.020 you'll have a dedicated identity restoration specialist that's a phone call away.
00:38:31.080 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.
00:38:34.740 But with breaches on the rise, doesn't it make sense to be prepared?

00:39:10.880 The number to call.
00:39:11.540 And it's the unemployment situation that we heard about yesterday
00:39:18.440 with another 2.4 million Americans out of work.
00:39:21.580 Just, it's heart-wrenching.
00:39:23.620 And perhaps the scariest part about it is people are seeing that number like,
00:39:26.780 oh, good.
00:39:27.500 It's getting better than last week.
00:39:28.620 And it is a little better than last week,
00:39:30.140 but it's still like the eighth worst in our history
00:39:31.820 and three times worse any month before this.
00:39:33.660 Yeah, 2.4 million?
00:39:35.280 We've never had those kinds of numbers.
00:39:36.900 The worst ever was, I think, 800,000 before this-ish.
00:39:39.740 Wow.
00:39:40.220 Yeah.
00:39:40.660 And so three times as bad as anything pre-COVID.
00:39:43.760 And we're like, oh, great.
00:39:45.580 It's getting better.
00:39:47.000 Yay.
00:39:47.580 We're on the right track, guys.
00:39:49.000 All right.
00:39:49.240 We've got to share with you some amazing stuff with Andrew Cuomo,
00:39:52.480 the governor of New York.
00:39:53.520 Come on up.
00:39:54.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:40:00.120 You've heard me talk about my Tecovis boots and how much I love them
00:40:03.220 and what a great company they come from.
00:40:04.980 It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas.
00:40:08.420 Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country,
00:40:11.060 Tecovis has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind
00:40:14.480 every time I put on my Tecovis boots, the cowboy.
00:40:17.180 Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy, but I know some of those guys.
00:40:22.060 And not being one of them, I wouldn't pretend to be.
00:40:24.920 But what I see in them, I see in other people, too.
00:40:27.900 Because in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset, an uncompromising,
00:40:32.660 can-do attitude, a willingness to help even when it's really hard.
00:40:37.480 And most of all, the cowboy knows that the good guys always win in the end.
00:40:41.900 So as you begin the hard work of bootstrapping this country
00:40:45.000 and economy back into shape, Tecovis has the boots you need.
00:40:49.520 Find your pair at tecovis.com.
00:40:52.060 T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash back.
00:40:55.320 Tecovis.com slash back.
00:40:57.580 And what do you say?
00:40:58.820 Let's all be cowboys.
00:41:00.460 Featuring Pat and Stu for Glenn.
00:41:03.020 888-727-V-E-C-K to get involved in the show.
00:41:06.920 So on Stude's America, you've been talking about Andrew Cuomo lately
00:41:14.260 and the great job that he's been doing because he has done some kind of job.
00:41:19.620 I mean, what is it?
00:41:20.240 Only a third of all deaths come from New York from this COVID virus, right?
00:41:25.280 Isn't it like a third of all deaths almost?
00:41:27.420 And the worst of the basically the entire world's COVID outbreak was in New York.
00:41:35.140 Was in New York.
00:41:35.660 And you have to and that kind of downplays it a little bit
00:41:38.420 because all of New Jersey and Connecticut's breakouts, of course,
00:41:42.740 are also related of New York.
00:41:44.320 And when you look at the the genetic makeup of the virus around the country,
00:41:48.800 about 80 percent of the outbreaks around the country are from New York.
00:41:52.860 So but other than that, the results are there, Pat.
00:41:57.260 The results are there.
00:41:58.820 Other than that, Andrew Cuomo's done an unbelievable job.
00:42:01.460 He has, you know, sure.
00:42:05.080 If you compare it to anyone else in the entire world, no.
00:42:09.980 Because, I mean, you would absolutely, if given if there was a draft pick,
00:42:13.580 who do you want to run your your your COVID-19 response?
00:42:18.100 And the choices were Andrew Cuomo, the guy who was dealing in.
00:42:22.640 He was from he's from Northern Italy out of the University of Northern Italy.
00:42:26.180 The Lombardi region.
00:42:28.760 He you got him or you could just get some random guy selling bats in Wuhan.
00:42:33.340 I think I go Wuhan.
00:42:35.100 Yes.
00:42:35.260 At this point.
00:42:36.120 Yes.
00:42:36.360 I certainly am going.
00:42:37.540 I hope I don't have the third pick.
00:42:39.180 And I'm stuck with Cuomo.
00:42:40.280 I'll tell you that.
00:42:40.840 So Cuomo, we were going through this and we decided to build a series out of this.
00:42:46.860 Just going through the timeline of Andrew Cuomo.
00:42:49.660 Think about this.
00:42:50.380 This is start in March.
00:42:51.880 I won't even I won't give him any heat for stuff in January and February.
00:42:55.580 You know, people didn't necessarily know what was going on.
00:42:58.120 But towards the end of February, it started really ramping up and all over the world.
00:43:02.800 March starts.
00:43:03.620 At this point, you got to know, especially in New York, major travel hub.
00:43:07.500 This is a big deal.
00:43:09.040 So March 1st is the first case announced in New York.
00:43:12.640 OK, March 2nd.
00:43:15.200 Here's Andrew Cuomo.
00:43:16.680 In this situation, the facts defeat fear because the reality is reassuring.
00:43:26.100 Oh, it is deep breath time.
00:43:28.740 Oh, just take a deep breath, Pat.
00:43:31.660 OK, that's all you need to do.
00:43:32.800 Sounds like we're going to be fine, right?
00:43:34.720 Yeah, well, we are.
00:43:35.840 If you if you if you thought that he wasn't taking this health challenge seriously, I can
00:43:42.160 see how you might take that from that particular statement.
00:43:45.200 But you have to look at his website, which is where he puts the real meat of his policy.
00:43:50.320 And he made a major statement that carried on the website on March 3rd.
00:43:54.080 And he did take serious action against this health crisis and this epidemic.
00:44:00.680 And of course, by this epidemic, I mean the vaping epidemic.
00:44:06.120 Oh, what he wrote on his site, the nicotine nicotine vaping epidemic is a scourge on our
00:44:12.280 state and our nation.
00:44:14.280 That was March 3rd, March 3rd.
00:44:16.280 So everyone else is like, hey, COVID-19 is kind of scary.
00:44:20.220 But what about vaping?
00:44:22.100 Now, I will say everyone is going to look back and think about March 2020 as the month
00:44:28.560 of the vaping epidemic.
00:44:29.620 That is clearly what the history books are going to say.
00:44:32.080 And he was right on top of that.
00:44:34.860 Now, while people were kind of passing this virus all over the city, Cuomo launched a
00:44:40.100 petition against vaping and quoting the website.
00:44:44.220 The campaign also includes a new hashtag.
00:44:47.760 No vape and why?
00:44:50.080 Now, if we have only thought to fight the virus with a hashtag, that could have worked out
00:44:54.480 pretty well.
00:44:55.720 You know?
00:44:56.580 Yeah, but he didn't think of that.
00:44:57.740 Hashtag no Corona and why?
00:44:59.360 Hashtag down with COVID.
00:45:01.440 Yeah.
00:45:01.840 Hashtag Cuomo sucks.
00:45:04.160 Don't get it.
00:45:04.980 Hashtag don't get it.
00:45:06.000 Hashtag don't get it.
00:45:06.320 Yeah.
00:45:06.940 That would have done it.
00:45:07.520 That could have done it.
00:45:07.980 Right there.
00:45:08.480 Yep.
00:45:09.200 But unfortunately, he didn't think of that.
00:45:11.260 March 6th, we're up to now.
00:45:13.060 We're 44 cases in New York.
00:45:15.080 Andrew Cuomo still could not believe that you were worried about it.
00:45:20.080 We have more people in this country dying from the flu than we have dying from Corona
00:45:27.120 virus.
00:45:27.860 Now, that's one of those things that gets you kicked out of the media these days.
00:45:31.560 Yeah.
00:45:32.240 If you were conservative and said that, a lot of people were, poor Dr. Drew got dragged
00:45:37.220 through the mud by the left for that exact statement.
00:45:40.360 But here's Andrew Cuomo doing it.
00:45:43.020 So, don't worry about it.
00:45:44.780 Just the flu.
00:45:45.400 Continue to sneeze on each other.
00:45:46.420 Everything's fine.
00:45:47.140 March 8th, New York hits triple digits, 105 known cases.
00:45:51.140 We all know it's a lot higher than that in reality.
00:45:53.140 Cuomo continues to tell everyone not to change their lives around all that much.
00:45:56.760 If you can move to a train car that is not as dense.
00:46:01.420 If you see a packed train car, let it go by.
00:46:06.800 Wait for the next train.
00:46:08.540 Same with the, if you're taking a bus.
00:46:11.500 Now, don't avoid public transit.
00:46:15.060 No.
00:46:15.420 No.
00:46:15.880 But just take a less crowded one.
00:46:17.780 Take a less crowded one.
00:46:19.320 A less dense one.
00:46:20.380 Now, I would argue you should probably try to find a governor that's less dense.
00:46:23.840 However, I understand, I guess, his point here.
00:46:26.560 And at least he's making a little progress.
00:46:28.760 Cuomo made sure to emphasize that the most important thing that New Yorkers could do was
00:46:33.280 basically lay back and chillax.
00:46:35.320 Keep it all in perspective.
00:46:37.900 I know there's a whole frenzy about it.
00:46:41.040 The facts do not justify the frenzy.
00:46:44.200 Period.
00:46:45.280 The biggest problem we have in this situation is fear.
00:46:50.140 Not the virus.
00:46:51.200 No.
00:46:51.640 The virus we can handle.
00:46:52.920 Oh.
00:46:53.700 It's the fear.
00:46:54.980 Oh.
00:46:55.360 And the fear is just unwarranted.
00:46:58.360 Mm-hmm.
00:46:58.660 That's good to hear that Andrew Cuomo can handle the virus.
00:47:01.520 And you were so worried, Pat, that entire time.
00:47:04.020 Mm-hmm.
00:47:04.260 I can remember.
00:47:05.080 I was freaking out.
00:47:05.840 Now, if the governor of South Dakota makes that statement, it's probably fine.
00:47:11.420 If the governor of Wyoming makes that statement, it's probably fine.
00:47:14.540 Although, if those people made it, since they're Republicans, they would get trashed in the media
00:47:18.360 constantly.
00:47:19.580 But Andrew Cuomo is presented as this hero in this situation.
00:47:23.940 The very next day, Cuomo continued to berate the idiocy of people who thought this might be
00:47:29.660 a big problem.
00:47:31.320 Context.
00:47:31.900 All these numbers.
00:47:32.620 What does it mean?
00:47:33.360 What does it mean?
00:47:33.940 What does it mean?
00:47:34.480 All day long, I have people calling me up and saying, I hear all these numbers.
00:47:37.260 What does it mean?
00:47:39.420 It means you find the positives, you reduce the spread.
00:47:44.260 Okay.
00:47:44.720 What is the bottom line?
00:47:46.400 What does this mean?
00:47:47.360 Yeah.
00:47:47.520 People are reacting like this is the Ebola virus.
00:47:51.380 Oh.
00:47:51.580 This is not the Ebola virus.
00:47:53.100 No.
00:47:53.500 This hysteria that you see, this fear that you see, the panic that you see.
00:47:57.960 Fear.
00:47:58.360 Panic.
00:47:58.600 Is unwarranted.
00:47:59.800 Mm-hmm.
00:48:00.140 We have dealt with worse viruses.
00:48:03.460 Oh.
00:48:03.980 Many times.
00:48:04.620 This spreads like the flu.
00:48:07.480 Yeah.
00:48:08.660 But most people will have it and they get on with their lives.
00:48:13.980 Mm-hmm.
00:48:14.860 Huh.
00:48:15.540 Well, there you go.
00:48:16.280 Just that easy.
00:48:16.900 Now, I will say, you may have noticed a tad bit, an undercurrent of criticism here from
00:48:22.060 me on Andrew Cuomo.
00:48:23.240 Mm-hmm.
00:48:23.860 And in interest of fairness, this actually turns out to be his best moment of the entire
00:48:28.520 response.
00:48:30.060 Why?
00:48:30.500 he actually got something right.
00:48:31.500 It's very rare for Andrew Cuomo in this period.
00:48:35.400 He is correct.
00:48:36.760 COVID-19 is not the Ebola virus.
00:48:39.120 In fact, COVID-19 would go on to kill more people in just New York in just the first three
00:48:45.520 weeks of April than Ebola has in all of human history.
00:48:49.260 So, he is correct.
00:48:51.540 It is not Ebola.
00:48:53.240 Mm-hmm.
00:48:53.940 Gold star for that little answer from Andy.
00:48:58.100 Uh, we have more.
00:48:59.980 Should we take a quick break?
00:49:01.140 Okay.
00:49:01.220 On one minute break and come back on the other side because we're only on March 9th.
00:49:06.080 Jeez.
00:49:06.440 This has all happened before March 9th.
00:49:09.960 It's amazing.
00:49:10.580 Amazing.
00:49:11.440 Back in a second.
00:49:12.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:49:19.900 On average, people have to wait around 29 days to see a doctor in some major U.S. cities.
00:49:25.320 Basically, a month.

00:49:31.280 treatment ASAP.

00:50:29.820 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:50:32.320 Talking about the genius that is Andrew Cuomo and the way he has handled this pandemic.
00:50:38.460 Priceless.
00:50:39.220 I mean, just perfectly.
00:50:40.600 Very impressive.
00:50:41.600 Yeah.
00:50:41.800 Very impressive.
00:50:42.860 We're up to March 9th.
00:50:43.980 Also, the day that Cuomo attempted a media stunt aimed at the, generally at the vilification
00:50:50.240 of capitalism, but specifically Amazon, for their supposed price gouging over hand sanitizer.
00:50:57.240 This is 75% alcohol.
00:51:02.000 It also has a, comes in a variety of sizes.
00:51:06.080 It has a very nice floral bouquet, little eye detector, lilac, hydrangea, tulips.
00:51:21.840 What does it smell like to you?
00:51:25.000 That clip gives me chills for some reason.
00:51:27.280 I don't know what it is.
00:51:28.340 Him talking about the floral bouquet.
00:51:30.520 It's made me like hate hydrangeas for the rest of my life.
00:51:35.120 And notice, the man in the middle of the pandemic response literally reaches his hand
00:51:42.000 out so the guy next to him can smell it.
00:51:44.800 That is, the press conference was basically Cuomo bragging that he can beat the market
00:51:50.740 price with hand sanitizer using prison labor, which is really easy to beat all market prices
00:51:57.700 when you're using essentially slave labor prices for all of your employees, which of
00:52:03.840 course later we found out that he wasn't even doing that.
00:52:06.680 He was just bottling the hand sanitizer with the prison labor, not actually making it.
00:52:12.860 So he was lying as well.
00:52:14.820 But that's like the 3,000th most annoying thing about that clip.
00:52:18.000 The fact that he's getting people to smell his lilac hands is, I just, it grosses me out
00:52:22.280 even watching it.
00:52:22.780 March 11th.
00:52:24.700 Now there's 216 cases in New York known of coronavirus.
00:52:29.500 And Andrew Cuomo is doing shtick at his press conferences attempting, I would argue, a worse
00:52:34.860 Irish accent than even Barack Obama.
00:52:37.520 Listen.
00:52:38.720 Well, I'm authorized, you know, by St. Patrick.
00:52:41.320 That's who?
00:52:42.160 Oh, yes.
00:52:43.200 I have the highest authorization.
00:52:45.220 Sure.
00:52:46.120 Wow.
00:52:46.560 Wow.
00:52:47.720 What is that accent?
00:52:49.380 Wow.
00:52:51.180 I don't know what that is.
00:52:52.920 It makes me dislike Ireland.
00:52:54.680 The entire country.
00:52:55.640 It makes Irish people dislike Ireland, which is a really, I mean, you're pretty Irish, Pat.
00:53:00.600 Pretty Irish.
00:53:01.000 Do you now hate Ireland?
00:53:01.780 I do.
00:53:02.180 Okay, good.
00:53:02.820 I do.
00:53:04.360 So then he has an interview scheduled.
00:53:06.720 And of course, by itself, that's not really all that notable.
00:53:09.000 Andrew Cuomo loves seeing Andrew Cuomo on television more than anyone else in the entire world.
00:53:16.860 He gets that exposure all the time.
00:53:19.340 So there is one place, though, he couldn't go to get interviewed.
00:53:22.460 One place.
00:53:23.800 CNN with his brother, Chris Cuomo.
00:53:26.980 Why?
00:53:27.440 Because CNN had banned Chris Cuomo from interviewing Andrew Cuomo, which is an obvious thing for
00:53:36.380 a journalistic organization to do, because you can't have your host as a journalist interviewing
00:53:43.640 his brother on television.
00:53:46.480 So in 2013, they institute this ban.
00:53:48.720 It lasts for seven years.
00:53:50.400 And then in the middle of a pandemic, they're like, I guess now is the time for the softest
00:53:54.680 of softball interviews.
00:53:56.700 That, of course, leads to CNN lifting the ban and it unleashed journalism like this.
00:54:03.280 Governor Andrew Cuomo to everybody else, my big brother, I'm proud of you.
00:54:07.600 I love you.
00:54:08.040 Thank you for explaining the hard parts and what's going to have to happen so that we
00:54:12.140 can get to a better place in the future.
00:54:14.240 God bless.
00:54:14.680 I'll talk to you in a second.
00:54:17.120 Proud of you.
00:54:20.080 Wow.
00:54:21.300 So they're both proud of each other.
00:54:22.700 They're both proud of each other.
00:54:23.580 They both love each other.
00:54:24.560 It's good to know.
00:54:25.380 And that, of course, has escalated to, I think it was yesterday or the day before's
00:54:28.620 fiasco where now he's doing like carrot top props and bringing out like, you know, nasal
00:54:33.980 swabs of Chris Cuomo to joke with his brother about the, his size of his nose.
00:54:40.920 Let's take one more one minute break and we'll finish up just the first two weeks of March
00:54:46.260 next.
00:54:47.220 So you have cabin fever yet?
00:54:57.580 Well, me and my boy, we're out grilling on our Rectech grill.
00:55:01.720 It's time to get out and smell the Rectech, man.
00:55:04.580 It just smells so great.
00:55:06.800 Most of us are social creatures and the prospect of spending week after week holed up in our
00:55:11.020 houses is a little upsetting to say the least.
00:55:13.160 And that's why we have this little ray of sunshine sitting on our back porch in this dismal
00:55:17.240 situation.
00:55:17.940 It's still spring outside.
00:55:19.460 The weather is warming up.
00:55:20.580 The birds are singing in the trees and your deck still counts as part of your house.
00:55:24.740 Now, maybe more than ever, it's vital that you get some outside time, some fresh air and
00:55:29.100 nothing complements that fresh air better than the smell of meat cooking on a Rectech grill.
00:55:34.020 Rectech, the number one name in grilling.
00:55:36.840 They are built like tanks, durable, solid, and they are the front line of smart grilling
00:55:41.920 technology.
00:55:42.620 Do your own research.
00:55:43.900 People in the know, choose Rectech.
00:55:46.140 Go ahead.
00:55:46.840 Look.
00:55:47.360 Then go to Rectechgrills.com.
00:55:49.660 You're going to see the huge difference.
00:55:51.640 That's R-E-C-T-E-C, grills with an S, dot com.
00:56:01.900 All right.
00:56:07.640 March 12th now, Andrew Cuomo's timeline of coronavirus.
00:56:10.560 There's 325 known cases in New York and governor, always on camera, is talking to New York One.
00:56:17.180 And what I believe he thinks is the worst moment of the entire pandemic, he is forced to do an
00:56:23.800 interview and not be seen.
00:56:25.680 He has to do it on the phone.
00:56:26.700 So this is an incredible disappointment for Andrew Cuomo.
00:56:29.560 Listen to the points he makes here, though.
00:56:32.200 They're irritating.
00:56:33.120 All four of his key points.
00:56:35.960 Look, we have two issues we're dealing with.
00:56:38.520 One is the virus, which we can handle.
00:56:42.280 The second is the anxiety and fear that is being generated because of the virus.
00:56:51.460 Okay.
00:56:52.020 And that's as many sources, how the federal government is handling it.
00:56:57.400 You have all these people spreading rumors.
00:57:00.600 But that's just what they are.
00:57:02.120 They are rumors.
00:57:04.220 New York City is not going to close down.
00:57:07.480 Oh, wow.
00:57:08.680 That's a relief.
00:57:09.640 That's a relief.
00:57:10.500 Those rumors.
00:57:11.460 Good.
00:57:11.900 Being out there.
00:57:13.580 I mean, it is a masterclass on how to botch a public response to a crisis.
00:57:20.580 First, he says he can handle the situation that he blatantly can't handle.
00:57:23.980 I mean, we can all recognize that he's not handled the situation.
00:57:26.780 Then he tells people to relax.
00:57:28.600 Okay.
00:57:29.380 Then he abandons his responsibility and puts the blame on the federal government.
00:57:34.020 He just throws that in.
00:57:35.360 Like, yeah, there's some things to worry about, like the federal government's response, but
00:57:37.840 we can handle this.
00:57:39.380 And then he says the other people to blame are the people spreading rumors.
00:57:43.500 Rumors that New York might close down.
00:57:45.960 Something that, of course, obviously did happen and is still happening.
00:57:51.280 We're in May now.
00:57:53.000 It's still going on.
00:57:54.320 And while Cuomo, of course, was very aware of every talking point to deflect blame away
00:58:00.100 from himself, his awareness of the real world is just mystifying.
00:58:05.520 Listen, especially think of yourself if you're in Wyoming, you're in, you know, Nebraska, you're
00:58:12.340 in Texas.
00:58:13.300 Listen to this exchange with Craig Melvin from March 13th.
00:58:17.080 Governor, really quickly here, how would you characterize where things stand right now in
00:58:25.040 New York State with regards to response to the virus in general?
00:58:30.040 Well, I don't think it's any different here than it is anywhere else.
00:58:33.980 The anxiety and the fear is as much of a problem as the virus.
00:58:39.580 Can you think about, this guy had no awareness that New York was any different than anywhere
00:58:46.740 else.
00:58:47.860 And this is a time where the media is in the mode that Andrew Cuomo may very well be God.
00:58:56.060 That is, that is their, the tone of their coverage throughout all of this.
00:59:00.740 He didn't recognize that New York was different.
00:59:05.200 How did he not recognize that?
00:59:07.100 Everyone on earth knew that was true.
00:59:08.600 He blew every piece of this response and he continually went on television and radio
00:59:15.300 and lied about it.
00:59:17.040 And, you know, really the only reason this country shut down at all is because of what
00:59:21.220 happened in New York.
00:59:22.300 The fact that he couldn't recognize it was different is disgraceful.
00:59:25.920 And I will say, I started, I went through some of the stuff on Stu Does America last night,
00:59:30.120 which of course you can subscribe to on YouTube.
00:59:31.500 You can see all the clips, see every one of those and a lot more.
00:59:35.040 But we started going through it and my idea was to go through the entire timeline for Cuomo
00:59:38.440 and then I was like, well, no, maybe I can only do March.
00:59:41.360 By the end of it, I realized I could only do the first two weeks of March.
00:59:44.640 So I had to break March into two pieces.
00:59:47.140 There's so much to pick apart from this guy.
00:59:49.140 And the fact that he's got this halo over his head after what he has done is despicable
00:59:57.140 by what the media has done here.
00:59:59.880 Almost nobody has the virus in New York, though.
01:00:02.580 There's only 366,000 people with the virus.
01:00:05.840 That's it?
01:00:06.300 Yeah.
01:00:06.760 I mean, okay.
01:00:08.400 So, yes, that's, let's see, six, seven times higher than Texas, which has one third higher
01:00:17.700 population than New York.
01:00:19.280 We have about 30 million people.
01:00:22.520 They've got about 20 million people.
01:00:24.640 We have 53,508 coronavirus victims.
01:00:29.040 They have 366,357.
01:00:31.840 And of course, that's just known.
01:00:33.180 Right.
01:00:33.580 That's known.
01:00:34.320 Yes.
01:00:34.600 And we're doing much more testing right now than they are.
01:00:36.820 Yeah.
01:00:37.260 And they've done the antibody tests there and found in Manhattan, about 20% of the entire
01:00:42.900 population at least had it at one point.
01:00:45.400 Which is amazing.
01:00:46.280 Which is by far the highest in the country.
01:00:48.420 Again, because, you know, New York was different.
01:00:50.840 I don't know if he knows.
01:00:51.640 He didn't know it then.
01:00:52.960 No, he didn't.
01:00:53.500 But somehow, maybe over this time, he's been able to figure out that New York might be a
01:00:56.920 little different than a field in Iowa.
01:00:59.880 Mm-hmm.
01:01:00.320 Maybe.
01:01:01.920 And to have 28,885 deaths, which is about a third of all the deaths in the United States
01:01:08.540 of America.
01:01:09.040 And then New Jersey is second at 10,000.
01:01:11.580 So, they're 18,000 behind.
01:01:12.680 And the only reason they have 10,800 is because the New Yorkers are going to New Jersey to
01:01:19.340 go home.
01:01:20.340 Yep.
01:01:21.600 It's unbelievable.
01:01:22.980 It's amazing.
01:01:23.740 Well, then you look at the-
01:01:24.860 The terrible job he's done.
01:01:26.060 Terrible.
01:01:26.680 Here is the death rate per million population.
01:01:30.660 So, you're not adjusting for a population here.
01:01:32.740 Number one, New York.
01:01:33.900 Yep.
01:01:34.460 Number two, New Jersey.
01:01:35.720 Okay.
01:01:36.220 Number three, Connecticut.
01:01:38.060 Why?
01:01:38.560 Because that's suburban New York.
01:01:40.900 Number four, Massachusetts.
01:01:42.840 And, of course, as we've seen with the actual, you know, genetic makeup of this virus, there's
01:01:49.320 several strains.
01:01:50.300 And the New York strain has been the one that's infected about 80% of the country.
01:01:54.500 I mean, just unbelievable.
01:01:57.380 Between him and de Blasio.
01:01:57.840 You can't overstate the terrible job he's done.
01:02:02.120 It's very difficult to do.
01:02:04.020 I'll do.
01:02:04.580 I'll try, though.
01:02:05.460 I'll do my best.
01:02:05.980 Okay.
01:02:06.280 See if you can.
01:02:07.160 If I can find a way to overstate it, I will.
01:02:09.480 But I haven't been able to find the way yet.
01:02:10.960 I don't think you can do it.
01:02:11.820 No.
01:02:12.040 I don't think you can do it.

01:03:34.320 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
01:03:40.340 We've been talking about this COVID thing, and Andrew Cuomo's handling in New York has
01:03:45.040 just been astonishingly bad.
01:03:47.000 And yet, for a while, I don't think he's there now, but he had an 80% approval rating at one
01:03:51.640 point during all this press conference stuff.
01:03:54.320 Just because he talks about it every day, people loved him for it.
01:03:57.000 Do you guys understand you've got the worst problem in the world?
01:04:01.260 In the world.
01:04:01.960 In the world.
01:04:02.780 Not just America.
01:04:04.440 The world.
01:04:06.060 And this guy is the head of it.
01:04:08.360 Wow.
01:04:09.060 Yeah.
01:04:09.220 How does he become popular over that?
01:04:11.700 Yeah, New York.
01:04:12.540 New York City.
01:04:13.320 You were saying the death rate per million is...
01:04:15.740 Theirs is by far the highest, right?
01:04:17.400 By far the highest.
01:04:19.160 They've got a...
01:04:20.280 Let's see.
01:04:21.400 Theirs is 1,484 per million.
01:04:24.600 New Jersey is 1,221.
01:04:26.300 Connecticut, 1,005.
01:04:27.360 And those are all basically New York.
01:04:28.740 I mean, you know, it's a New York area.
01:04:30.620 If you've never lived up there, it's not like Texas, where you drive for hours and you're
01:04:34.720 still in the same state.
01:04:36.100 Like, people...
01:04:36.980 Pat commuted every day from Connecticut to New York, excuse me.
01:04:42.420 I did it from not even New Jersey.
01:04:44.080 I went through New Jersey from Pennsylvania.
01:04:46.600 I mean, you can go multiple states on a normal commute.
01:04:49.660 This is...
01:04:50.160 So, they're by far the highest.
01:04:51.340 When you look at all the cities around the world that have been affected the most by
01:04:56.080 COVID-19, New York City has the highest excess death rate.
01:05:01.140 So, if you look at...
01:05:02.060 Forget how you're, you know, naming.
01:05:04.700 If you think...
01:05:05.140 Because some people don't like the way that they've branded certain, you know, deaths and
01:05:08.820 all of that.
01:05:09.500 You just look at overall mortality.
01:05:11.420 We're like, pretty much in a city, the same amount of people die every year at the same
01:05:15.840 time.
01:05:16.260 It's right around the same amount every year.
01:05:18.220 You look at the line every single year, right around the same amount with occasional spikes.
01:05:23.340 Like, for example, a spike for 9-11, right?
01:05:25.760 You have, you know, 3,000 people die in a day.
01:05:28.120 So, you have a spike there.
01:05:30.400 This spike is much, much bigger than 9-11, first of all.
01:05:33.380 But it is larger than any other city in the world that was affected like this.
01:05:38.920 It is 398% above their normal death rate during this COVID period.
01:05:45.420 398%.
01:05:45.980 Wow.
01:05:46.520 The only one that is higher than that percentage-wise is Bergamo Province in Italy, which was 496%.
01:05:53.480 However, a much smaller overall number of people in excess of the norm.
01:05:58.820 So, the results are not there.
01:06:00.620 I mean, we went through the whole list in the break.
01:06:02.320 Like, when it comes to the death rate, I mean, Texas is like 43rd, 44th in death rate.
01:06:08.860 In death rate.
01:06:09.540 Florida is like 35, something like that.
01:06:14.440 What are the states you've been hearing about?
01:06:16.600 Georgia, Florida, and Texas.
01:06:18.580 And Georgia is a little bit higher, but not much.
01:06:21.440 It's incredible the attention that has been poured over people like, you know, Ron DeSantis
01:06:26.120 in Florida, who, by all appearances, has done a good job.
01:06:31.880 It's worked out pretty well.
01:06:33.340 He's been more lenient than other states in some ways, in some ways.
01:06:36.740 But he still has been able to oversee a situation that has not run out of control like it did
01:06:42.580 in New York.
01:06:44.480 And did, in many states, run largely by Democratic governors, oddly enough.
01:06:50.660 I don't think you can, I don't think necessarily the virus is a Republican, but I'm sure that
01:06:57.460 would be the next accusation.
01:06:59.780 And, you know, it's interesting because I really do have this, the Cuomo thing really
01:07:03.700 bothers me because of the idea that he has a 70 and 80% approval rating when he has mismanaged
01:07:10.740 tons of this.
01:07:11.600 And I do think over the long period that will come out.
01:07:15.180 That's kind of been my jihad, which, by the way, means struggle.
01:07:20.660 Holy struggle.
01:07:21.620 Thank you for pointing that out.
01:07:22.840 I, but my, I would say even conservatives for a while were like, you know, he is doing
01:07:27.720 a pretty good job.
01:07:28.780 What are you talking about?
01:07:29.980 No, he's not.
01:07:30.920 No, he's not.
01:07:31.740 Luckily, we've taken this stance constantly.
01:07:34.100 Yeah.
01:07:35.060 Um, that it's interesting to see who kind of, I would say Fauci's another big one.
01:07:39.920 Like Fauci's a one that a lot, it's not necessarily mine, but a lot of people on the kind of talk
01:07:44.860 radio side of things are hypercritical of Fauci.
01:07:49.920 And he certainly has not been perfect.
01:07:52.280 You're, you're kind of on this.
01:07:53.360 I'm kind of critical of him.
01:07:54.660 Yeah.
01:07:54.900 Yeah.
01:07:55.100 I, I'm not a fan, not a fan.
01:07:57.160 I mean, I don't hate the guy.
01:07:58.240 Yeah.
01:07:58.460 And I don't think president Trump should fire him because that would bring down a firestorm
01:08:03.520 like you can't believe.
01:08:05.160 And just an unnecessary.
01:08:06.440 Yeah.
01:08:06.740 Just don't, he doesn't need that in addition to everything else.
01:08:10.040 So just leave Fauci in place and just don't let him, you know, talk at the news conferences
01:08:14.640 anymore, which is kind of what he's been doing.
01:08:17.280 Yeah.
01:08:17.700 But Fauci is also sort of backed off all the other appearances.
01:08:21.060 I mean, he was literally appearing on hundreds of programs.
01:08:24.920 Yeah.
01:08:25.820 And now all of a sudden he's kind of gone from all of those.
01:08:29.640 Yeah.
01:08:29.820 It's interesting.
01:08:30.360 I mean, I think you, you, you point out something I think important, which is, you know, Fauci
01:08:36.740 has no power.
01:08:38.320 Right.
01:08:38.720 Like Fauci's power is only there because Trump has allowed him to be the spokesperson.
01:08:44.800 He can tell, and he may have told him, stop going on all these shows.
01:08:47.780 I think there was a time where Fauci was so, and he still is very popular.
01:08:51.120 His approval rating is very high.
01:08:52.760 It's in the eighties.
01:08:54.320 But that's nationwide.
01:08:55.480 That's not, you know, with his base, his base, I think has very much soured on him because
01:09:01.960 they want, you know, a faster opening, which is understandable.
01:09:05.740 I think, though, there is a, there's this thing where Trump really got a lot of positive
01:09:11.660 attention because of Fauci.
01:09:13.140 And Fauci, I will say, one thing he's been very smart about is, generally speaking, and
01:09:17.420 not in every circumstance, but generally speaking, he has been very deferential to Trump and that
01:09:21.520 he'll go on these shows and he'll get cornered by a media member that will say, you know, you
01:09:27.340 brought up this thing where we were going to take these, these drastic steps and you brought
01:09:30.880 it to Trump.
01:09:31.300 What did he say?
01:09:31.840 He just probably said he wanted, you know, oil companies to kill people, right?
01:09:35.820 And every time Fauci's like, actually, the second I brought it.
01:09:38.560 He does not play along with that.
01:09:39.480 He doesn't.
01:09:39.900 I will give him credit for that.
01:09:41.260 He doesn't usually do that.
01:09:42.660 And that's probably why he's still there, right?
01:09:44.240 Yes.
01:09:45.000 But he's been smart enough to say, you know what?
01:09:46.660 No, actually, the second I brought, the first time I told the president about this, he
01:09:50.420 considered the options and decided to go forward with the drastic action to save
01:09:54.120 people's lives.
01:09:54.680 One possible exception was when he said this, if social distancing, physical distancing,
01:10:03.020 stay at home measures had started third week of February instead of mid-March.
01:10:07.140 I mean, obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and
01:10:12.860 you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives.
01:10:16.120 Obviously, no one is going to deny that.
01:10:18.160 But you're right.
01:10:18.980 I mean, obviously, if we had right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have
01:10:24.160 been a little bit different, but there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down
01:10:27.940 back then.
01:10:28.760 Yeah.
01:10:28.900 And some of it was from Fauci himself.
01:10:30.760 Here's what he said in not the third week of February, but the fourth.
01:10:34.160 No, right now, at this moment, there is no need to change anything that you're doing on
01:10:39.040 a day by day basis.
01:10:40.560 Ah, that's fascinating.
01:10:41.920 Yeah.
01:10:42.260 And there was, right?
01:10:43.720 So it's some contradictory stuff from him, which kind of irritates me.
01:10:46.840 Although I think you could take his comment.
01:10:48.960 First of all, he used the word obvious about 10 times.
01:10:52.020 Yeah.
01:10:52.140 And it is obvious, right?
01:10:53.740 Like, if what we know, if we knew what we knew now-
01:10:56.620 If we want to shut the country down in October, we wouldn't have had any deaths.
01:10:59.660 And if we, if there's a huge pile up on the highway, if we would have just closed the
01:11:03.300 highway down, there wouldn't have been one.
01:11:04.900 No deaths!
01:11:05.260 Right?
01:11:05.440 Like, we all know, of course, in retrospect, that was not a legitimate possibility at the
01:11:11.700 time.
01:11:12.240 And, you know, in a way, the person he's criticizing most is Anthony Fauci, right?
01:11:18.620 The person who should have known that the appropriate response was to shut everything down,
01:11:23.100 more than anybody in the world, was him.
01:11:24.500 Without ever stating that, though.
01:11:25.760 And that would, I think that would ingratiate him a little bit more to me if he would have
01:11:29.480 admitted that.
01:11:30.220 If he would have said, look, even I was saying that in the beginning.
01:11:33.000 Yeah.
01:11:33.120 Even I was saying, America doesn't have to worry about this right now.
01:11:36.320 Yeah.
01:11:36.720 America isn't going to be affected by this like the rest of the world.
01:11:39.600 Right.
01:11:39.720 Even I said that at the beginning.
01:11:41.640 That would be really refreshing and helpful.
01:11:43.640 He should say that more.
01:11:44.460 I think you're right.
01:11:45.300 Yeah.
01:11:45.740 And it's been interesting to kind of watch that develop, that relationship, because it
01:11:50.280 is a, it has been, I think, overall, when it comes to the reaction to the country, a
01:11:56.920 positive for Trump.
01:11:58.500 That this guy, who everyone can't help but admit is the nation's preeminent expert in
01:12:04.640 infectious disease control, continually comes out and says, actually, Trump listened every
01:12:09.180 single time we talked about this.
01:12:11.040 That's not necessarily ingratiating him to his base, though.
01:12:13.540 Who doesn't want him to listen to Anthony Fauci?
01:12:16.180 So that's been, I think that's been a tough thing.
01:12:18.920 And I think you're right.
01:12:20.000 It would be a big PR disaster for him if he were to fire him at this point.
01:12:28.600 Now, Trump is not a guy who runs away from PR disasters, so he may wind up doing it.
01:12:33.100 He doesn't care most of the time.
01:12:34.380 If it's possible, he will do it.
01:12:35.880 It is.
01:12:37.900 I will be interested to see if that happens.
01:12:41.000 I think he likes, it does shield him from a lot of the media criticism, though, because
01:12:44.820 like, if he says, look, I did exactly what, you know, what we were told.
01:12:48.580 Yeah.
01:12:48.780 You know, I think that that is a, it's a pretty good defense for Trump when it comes
01:12:54.840 down to the media coming after him.
01:12:56.760 And that's what's going to happen in this election.
01:12:58.260 They're going to question every little piece of this.
01:13:00.080 And if he's got Anthony Fauci there to say, actually, he did exactly what I said.
01:13:05.200 Uh, I, you know, it's going to be hard to criticize him when, when, when in the media
01:13:10.840 and think about this from Fauci.
01:13:11.960 One more thing, because I, I, I definitely recognize that like, you know, the, the audience
01:13:16.660 in general, it's not a fan of Anthony Fauci.
01:13:18.660 But think about, let me compare him to another guy from our very recent history, James Comey.
01:13:25.400 James Comey also had at one time a very high approval rating and could, and he did leave,
01:13:31.660 run to the media, write his book, constantly criticize the president openly, say how he
01:13:38.920 basically overturned all democratic norms.
01:13:41.920 And he was so worshiped by the media that he just ran into their loving arms.
01:13:49.160 Fauci could do the same thing here.
01:13:52.220 He could, he could, he could, he could walk away with an 80% approval rating.
01:13:55.480 And you know, look, Republicans would start to sour on him, obviously when he did, just
01:13:58.920 like they did with Comey.
01:14:00.240 Cause at one point Comey was very popular among Republicans too, but he could go in and get
01:14:04.300 this adoration from the media at any time.
01:14:06.440 And he may wind up doing it at some point, but so far, both him and Burks have, have sat
01:14:11.880 back and said, the president has acted in an intelligent way.
01:14:16.600 We, you know, we, he, he'll even say, look, I'm only, I'm only making recommendations on
01:14:22.540 the medical.
01:14:22.920 The president has a much tougher job.
01:14:24.620 He has to deal with the economy and people and, and all these different things.
01:14:28.220 I'm just making recommendations on one little part of it.
01:14:30.420 He needs to look at the whole picture.
01:14:31.780 And I think that's the way the, their relationship should work, whether it does or not, who knows.
01:14:36.280 But the point is that like, he could go to MSNBC and be on every single show, every single
01:14:42.680 day saying how evil the president is.
01:14:44.720 He's not done much of that, if any of it.
01:14:47.600 I mean, he, I'm not saying he's been perfect, but he has at least taken the time to recognize,
01:14:53.080 you know, what his place is in this.
01:14:55.280 Yeah.
01:14:55.520 And it is not president of the United States.
01:14:57.300 He's not, it's just not the way this works.
01:14:59.100 It's not where our system works.
01:15:00.000 We didn't elect Anthony Fauci.
01:15:01.460 The only person who elected Anthony Fauci was Donald Trump who continues to employ him.
01:15:05.380 And at some point, Donald Trump might say, you know what?
01:15:07.380 Now you suck.
01:15:08.200 Get out.
01:15:09.140 And that will be completely his right to do it.
01:15:11.860 Yeah.
01:15:12.460 Completely his right to do it.
01:15:13.560 Yes.
01:15:13.820 He would be, I mean, he'd be crucified for doing it, but he's, he has every right to do
01:15:19.880 it.
01:15:19.980 He did it with Comey.
01:15:21.060 He did.
01:15:21.440 He just said, get out.
01:15:23.000 That was his answer to that.
01:15:24.020 Get out.
01:15:24.720 888-727-BECK.
01:15:27.120 More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up.
01:15:30.980 All right.
01:15:31.480 So there are problems that men face as they get older.
01:15:35.380 They're not problems you necessarily want to talk about.
01:15:37.960 ED, hair loss, all sorts of things like that.
01:15:42.840 You want to say when one of these things happens, let's just get this taken care of, but you
01:15:46.560 might be frustrated or embarrassed or, you know, there's, it takes up to 29 days to see
01:15:52.240 a doctor in some areas and it can get even worse now.
01:15:55.920 Luckily though, you have a situation where Roman was absolutely designed for a situation
01:16:03.640 just like we're facing because they do this all online.
01:16:06.600 You don't have to worry about talking to your doctor.
01:16:08.140 You don't have to worry about talking to the, you know, the doctor that your kid is going
01:16:11.820 to come in a week because they have allergies and you're sitting in the same room.
01:16:15.420 It's, it just can be awkward.
01:16:16.460 Uh, you're still going to get a U S licensed doctor.
01:16:19.600 You're still going to get all the best medical, uh, information and recommendations that you
01:16:23.700 would get from anywhere else.
01:16:24.940 You're not going to deal with, uh, with waiting, uh, in a waiting room and I have to deal with
01:16:29.800 talking to some doctor in person, no awkward face-to-face conversations.
01:16:34.160 Um, you can do this all from the comfort of your own home.
01:16:36.620 Just grab your phone or computer and complete a free online visit.
01:16:39.960 You'll hear back from a U S licensed physician within 24 hours.
01:16:42.700 And if the doctor decides the treatment is right for you, Roman's pharmacy can ship your
01:16:46.680 medication with free two-day shipping, no commitments, and you can cancel anytime.
01:16:50.800 If you're struggling with ED or hair loss or any other men's issue, go to get Roman.com
01:16:55.660 slash Beck to get a free online visit and free two-day shipping.
01:16:59.920 That's get Roman.com slash Beck for the free visit to get started.
01:17:03.500 Get Roman.com slash Beck.
01:17:07.480 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:17:12.700 888-727-BECK is the phone number.
01:17:21.940 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn who's on vacation.
01:17:24.680 One of the other things I think is interesting is how pathetic the medium left are when it
01:17:33.340 comes to these figures that, uh, that wind up disagreeing with their viewpoints.
01:17:38.860 You can't do it.
01:17:40.240 You just can't do it.
01:17:41.200 You know, you will see these people who they embrace fully, believe all women they embrace.
01:17:46.580 And then Tara Reid is a woman.
01:17:48.240 Ah, screw her.
01:17:49.060 She's not really a woman or whatever.
01:17:50.560 They hate her.
01:17:51.460 The same thing's happening with Elon Musk.
01:17:53.520 Here's a guy who is literally building spaceships to escape global warming.
01:17:59.880 Okay.
01:18:00.540 That is why he's doing it.
01:18:01.400 That's why he's doing it.
01:18:02.400 That's his admitted motivation.
01:18:04.500 Here's a guy who is single-handedly put the electric car thing back in the, in the market.
01:18:12.040 He's a guy who is single-handedly.
01:18:13.760 We don't know people in this building who have outfitted their house with the solar panels
01:18:17.560 and the batteries and love them.
01:18:19.280 Right.
01:18:20.480 Conservatives are buying electric cars, solar panels, and batteries and are signing up to
01:18:26.960 go to Mars to escape global warming.
01:18:28.740 Because he made them viable.
01:18:29.980 Because he's done it.
01:18:30.360 Right.
01:18:30.520 He's made them viable.
01:18:31.360 And at his own expense, he's lost, he's lost money on this.
01:18:34.560 All of that goes down.
01:18:36.120 And the left, of course, loves him for that.
01:18:37.980 That's okay.
01:18:38.980 God forbid he wants to put any of these factories to cure global warming back to work.
01:18:43.880 Now they hate him.
01:18:44.960 Now remember, they spent years telling us that global warming was the biggest threat to us.
01:18:48.880 Not a pandemic.
01:18:49.600 It was global warming that was the threat.
01:18:51.780 This guy wants to go back to work making electric cars and solar panels.
01:18:56.040 But because he doesn't agree with the, I want a permanent lockdown idea, he's the devil.
01:19:03.340 It is incredible how fast they will change if you step out of line in the slightest way.
01:19:08.460 Oh, they will snap you back so hard it'll break your neck.
01:19:11.280 Yeah.
01:19:12.480 And that's exactly what's happening to Elon Musk right now.
01:19:15.740 Yeah.
01:19:16.080 And you know what else?
01:19:16.580 Another person it's happened to is Kanye West.
01:19:20.720 Oh, yeah.
01:19:21.580 Kanye West.
01:19:22.280 I mean, he is the ultimate darling of the left.
01:19:24.600 Who is the George Bush doesn't like black people guy?
01:19:27.580 George Bush doesn't like black people.
01:19:29.520 You know, he is a, absolutely embraced as a genius for his work.
01:19:35.380 And I know you're a huge rap aficionado.
01:19:38.740 So you would know this.
01:19:39.800 Sure.
01:19:40.220 But, you know, here's the guy who's like, you know, a genius.
01:19:43.020 They call him a genius constantly.
01:19:44.100 Well, not a genius likes Donald Trump.
01:19:45.840 Is he still a genius?
01:19:46.680 No, he's a buffoon.
01:19:48.520 He's the dumbest person on the face of the planet.
01:19:51.440 And he might actually be mentally ill.
01:19:54.400 And you know what else, Pat?
01:19:55.520 He might be just, he might not be black.
01:19:57.900 True.
01:19:58.320 Well, he's definitely not black.
01:19:59.140 He's definitely not black.
01:19:59.980 And I will say that apparently is a real stance now by the Democratic presidential candidate,
01:20:04.540 Joe Biden, who I think, if I heard this clip right, he seemingly told a black man if he liked Donald Trump, he was not black.
01:20:15.040 You tell me if I'm reading this wrong, Pat.
01:20:17.020 Because I think that's exactly what he said in this interview.
01:20:20.080 We'll have that coming up.
01:20:21.280 888-727-BECK is the phone number.
01:20:24.800 Pat and Stu in for Glenn.
01:20:26.320 Back in a second.
01:20:27.060 It is great to have you with us on this Friday, the precipice of a three-day weekend here for Memorial Day.
01:20:37.440 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:20:40.460 You can also hear us at other times of the day.
01:20:44.200 I immediately precede this show live on the Blaze Radio and TV Network.
01:20:48.760 And then you can listen to the podcast whenever you want.
01:20:50.840 And you can download that wherever you get your podcasts and sign up for it.
01:20:55.560 Also, YouTube.
01:20:56.780 Same with Stu and Stu Does America.
01:20:58.900 You have all those choices as well.
01:21:00.680 Except it's not immediately before this program.
01:21:03.140 Mine's 8 p.m. Eastern.
01:21:05.080 It does precede Glenn's TV show, though, on Friday.
01:21:08.920 Or, excuse me, Wednesday.
01:21:10.140 So you can always check that out as well.
01:21:12.300 Go to Pac-Ray Unleash or Stu Does America on any podcast platform.
01:21:16.240 Subscribe and rate and review and do all those fun things.
01:21:18.480 Plus, you go to YouTube for mine.
01:21:21.020 I know if you just search for Stu, S-T-U, there's my stupid face looking back at you.
01:21:26.180 It's wonderful.
01:21:27.100 Easy way to find it.
01:21:28.320 Okay.
01:21:29.260 Now, Joe Biden.
01:21:30.640 This is incredible.
01:21:31.360 So many reasons to vote for this guy.
01:21:32.840 Here's yet another one.
01:21:34.220 I mean, Pat, did we not start this show today saying, you know what?
01:21:38.040 It's a smart strategy to hide Joe Biden and not let him talk.
01:21:42.500 It is a smart strategy, as they found out today.
01:21:46.600 Because today, they decided, you know what we should do?
01:21:49.220 Let him talk.
01:21:50.900 Oops.
01:21:51.040 And this clip is unbelievable.
01:21:54.600 I mean, it would be disqualifying for a Republican to say this.
01:21:58.540 Like, the race is over.
01:22:01.700 Somehow, they're going to try to make sense of this.
01:22:04.260 But I'm curious as to say if they think, if you listen to this clip and you tell me this
01:22:10.740 guy's going to survive the magnifying glass of the presidential election.
01:22:14.420 I don't see how he can, quite honestly.
01:22:16.080 I don't see how he can.
01:22:17.120 He's talking to Charlemagne the God, who does a lot of interviews.
01:22:21.760 He actually does a lot of big interviews.
01:22:23.780 And he has a very big audience.
01:22:25.340 And, of course, Biden trying to court African-American voters.
01:22:30.760 Here's the exchange.
01:22:32.240 Thank you so much.
01:22:33.140 That's really our time.
01:22:34.260 I apologize.
01:22:35.220 You can't do that to black media.
01:22:37.200 Okay.
01:22:37.460 Let me stop it real quick.
01:22:39.180 Just to set this up.
01:22:40.680 I didn't realize this part was included as well.
01:22:42.920 So, what you're hearing is the interview's been going on for a while.
01:22:45.860 And the PR guy steps in and tries to stop the interview.
01:22:49.180 Again, I will say a good move.
01:22:51.360 And Charlemagne is pissed off because they're cutting him off and not giving him access.
01:22:57.600 And he says, you can't do that to black media.
01:22:59.620 Now, I don't know why.
01:23:00.480 I guess you can do it to white media.
01:23:01.780 I don't know what that means.
01:23:02.940 Is there white media?
01:23:04.200 Maybe.
01:23:04.520 I don't know.
01:23:06.040 Wow.
01:23:06.600 But you can't apparently cut off an interview short with black media.
01:23:10.900 Biden tries to talk about why he has to leave.
01:23:14.460 Because, obviously, there's only one, I would assume, one place they can do interviews.
01:23:17.920 There's other interviews scheduled.
01:23:19.700 Then he says something else.
01:23:21.240 That happens to all media, by the way.
01:23:22.720 But, yeah, of course.
01:23:23.560 Of course it happens to all media.
01:23:25.140 I don't understand why race would be brought into that.
01:23:28.100 It's not like the Democratic Party is not saying, oh, well, we won't talk to black audiences.
01:23:34.040 They want to.
01:23:34.640 They just don't want Joe Biden to say things like this when they talk to black media.
01:23:38.140 Here is the clip again.
01:23:39.740 Thank you so much.
01:23:40.600 That's really our time.
01:23:41.700 I apologize.
01:23:42.320 You can't do that to black media.
01:23:44.780 I can't do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o'clock.
01:23:50.340 Okay.
01:23:51.160 Oh, I'm in trouble.
01:23:53.020 Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden.
01:23:56.160 I will.
01:23:57.040 It's a long way until November.
01:23:58.620 We got more questions.
01:24:00.460 You got more questions.
01:24:01.520 But I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump and you
01:24:05.840 ain't black, it don't have nothing to do with Trump.
01:24:08.020 It has to do with the Fed.
01:24:09.340 Whoa.
01:24:11.180 That's an amazing statement.
01:24:12.560 I am flabbergasted by him.
01:24:14.620 I mean, first of all, the cringeworthy use of ain't in the middle of that.
01:24:19.360 You ain't black.
01:24:20.500 I mean, come on.
01:24:22.820 If we republic.
01:24:23.840 Oh, I don't even have to say it.
01:24:25.080 I don't even have to say it.
01:24:25.660 You can finish the sentence.
01:24:26.660 Right.
01:24:26.860 But we are now at the point where apparently it's okay for a democratic candidate, a white
01:24:35.020 guy, to white-splain to black people what qualifies them as black.
01:24:41.140 That is now the cool thing to do.
01:24:44.140 It's okay now for old white guys to go to black people and say, oh, you count as black
01:24:51.000 and you, you do not.
01:24:53.400 And insinuate that if you do something that he disagrees with, it's okay to stereotype an
01:25:02.400 entire race of people.
01:25:03.800 Now, I thought that was racism.
01:25:05.720 It would be.
01:25:06.700 But stereotyping by color of skin would be racism, Pat.
01:25:09.860 Wow.
01:25:10.480 Would it really?
01:25:11.280 Now, I am also the type that thinks if you were to eliminate one of the two genders,
01:25:15.900 and I did say, I know, two genders, one of the two genders, if you were to eliminate
01:25:19.900 them, you would be a sexist.
01:25:22.000 However, when Joe Biden has said he will only select a woman to be his vice presidential
01:25:26.740 candidate, that is not sexist.
01:25:28.880 Here, I guess they'll try to give us the same spin, that that is somehow not racially insensitive
01:25:34.520 at the very least.
01:25:36.460 So insulting.
01:25:37.120 But I mean, this is so typical of what we went back to talking about with Kanye West.
01:25:43.000 Kanye West went from a brilliant black artist to a white guy when he decided to support Donald
01:25:47.840 Trump.
01:25:48.280 Mm-hmm.
01:25:48.580 And that has been the way they have treated him ever since he threw that hat on.
01:25:53.120 It's true.
01:25:53.440 And here you see Joe Biden saying the quiet thing out loud.
01:25:58.040 And you ain't black.
01:25:59.320 It don't have nothing to do with Trump.
01:26:00.640 I mean, that is, it's the type of thing that they all think in the Democratic Party.
01:26:08.060 They all think it.
01:26:09.280 All the people at the top, all those, all the white people at the top think black people
01:26:14.800 only count when they agree with us.
01:26:17.420 And here they are admitting it out loud.
01:26:20.020 And this is why Joe Biden shouldn't be given any interviews.
01:26:22.880 They should just hide him.
01:26:24.020 Because this is what happens.
01:26:25.860 He's now coming out and admitted the thing that the Democratic Party has been trying
01:26:29.040 to hide for how long?
01:26:31.580 And here it is in full audio, full video, where he tells black people they are not black unless
01:26:40.680 they vote for him.
01:26:41.840 Can you believe he would say something like that?
01:26:44.940 No, no Republican gets away with that.
01:26:46.800 No.
01:26:47.260 No Republican.

01:27:57.440 By the way, Pat, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn Beck today.
01:28:14.580 He's on vacation, and he's missing out on the trending hashtag right now.
01:28:17.920 Hashtag, you ain't black.
01:28:20.180 Oh, wow.
01:28:21.080 It's trending across America thanks to Joe Biden.
01:28:25.500 So great.
01:28:26.160 Well, you ain't black if you are having a hard time figuring out whether to vote for
01:28:30.840 him or Trump.
01:28:32.480 What an incredible statement that is.
01:28:34.460 Incredible.
01:28:35.400 It's not incredible that they think it.
01:28:37.360 It's incredible that they say it.
01:28:39.080 Yeah.
01:28:39.500 You know.
01:28:39.960 And get away with it.
01:28:40.720 And get away.
01:28:41.060 Well, I don't know.
01:28:42.020 Will he get away with this?
01:28:42.820 Probably.
01:28:43.620 I think the only way he doesn't, right, is if Democrats decide he's going to lose.
01:28:48.340 Yeah.
01:28:48.660 If they say, holy crap, this is actually going to continue to keep happening, which it will.
01:28:52.700 And they realize that this is going to be such a disaster.
01:28:56.380 We're going to lose another one of these elections.
01:28:58.600 At that point, he becomes very vulnerable.
01:29:01.340 There's got to be people on his campaign staff that just absolutely cringe and have like coronary
01:29:10.300 embolisms.
01:29:11.260 Every time he opens his mouth, there's got to be somebody in that camp saying, wow, we
01:29:16.680 can't let him talk anymore.
01:29:17.820 Seriously.
01:29:18.220 You've got to stop him from speaking.
01:29:21.520 Let's just, like you've said, hide him until November, because that's the only way you're
01:29:28.800 going to be able to keep him from completely screwing this up.
01:29:31.760 Yeah.
01:29:31.960 I don't think he's capable anymore of self-editing like there, for instance.
01:29:36.960 No, he thinks he's in like, oh, this is a loose conversation among friends.
01:29:40.300 And I can say things like this.
01:29:41.940 You know, and think of it.
01:29:42.740 Think of it from this perspective.
01:29:43.780 If you're someone who is volunteering for the Biden campaign and you're black and these
01:29:50.340 issues mean something to you, because they don't mean anything to Joe Biden, they don't
01:29:53.180 mean anything to the Democratic leadership, but they might mean something to a volunteer
01:29:56.540 who legitimately is like taking these issues seriously.
01:29:59.860 How can you stand by this?
01:30:01.860 How can you stand by and support a guy who would come out and tell, let's just say it's
01:30:07.220 10, 15, 20% of voters that they don't count as black people because they don't vote the
01:30:13.660 way you want them to?
01:30:15.420 That is a, I mean, it's a despicable statement.
01:30:17.980 Of course, he's gotten away with this kind of stuff before.
01:30:19.840 I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright
01:30:29.020 and clean and nice.
01:30:32.160 I mean, that's a storybook, man.
01:30:35.000 In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans moving from India.
01:30:42.320 You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
01:30:49.860 I'm not joking.
01:30:51.360 Now, show me the Republican that survives any of those statements.
01:30:55.960 The you ain't black thing.
01:30:58.060 The Barack Obama's the first sort of clean, good looking African American.
01:31:03.940 It's a storybook, man.
01:31:05.480 It just doesn't happen.
01:31:06.500 You don't want to see those kinds of people.
01:31:07.720 It's like, you know, a flying dragon or a clean black person as he's comparing those
01:31:12.760 two things.
01:31:13.220 Both are just myth or urban legend.
01:31:15.520 They're mythical.
01:31:16.020 This couldn't happen in the real world.
01:31:18.660 And then the comment about Indians being at 7-Elevens.
01:31:22.840 Nobody survives that in the Republican Party.
01:31:25.920 Nobody.
01:31:26.200 And he, so, I mean, and this is something to remember because I think a lot of, a lot
01:31:31.320 of people now have realized that Joe Biden is obviously having trouble communicating,
01:31:36.540 getting through normal thought processes.
01:31:39.680 We all know that.
01:31:41.580 But he's always been bad.
01:31:43.880 Like, he's always been bad at this.
01:31:45.940 Yes.
01:31:46.100 This has always been a major problem for him.
01:31:48.280 This, this type of mistake that he's making today has nothing to do with his decreased
01:31:53.600 capacity to communicate normal English, you know, phrases.
01:32:00.620 No, it's just Joe being Joe.
01:32:01.840 Joe being Joe.
01:32:02.640 Yeah.
01:32:02.940 This is who he is.
01:32:03.540 And he's always been this way.
01:32:05.420 And, you know, this is why he's, you know, look, winning a Senate race in Delaware.
01:32:09.660 If you're, you know, any Democrat could do that.
01:32:13.280 That's not, that's not difficult to do.
01:32:14.440 But, yeah, the difficult thing is, you know, winning a presidency is, is much more difficult.
01:32:18.700 And the fact that he was handed the vice presidency by a guy who, by all reports, says he picked
01:32:23.960 him because he was white and had gray hair.
01:32:27.200 That is what the, the, the Barack Obama reasoning for picking Joe Biden is he wanted someone who
01:32:32.760 would not challenge white voters because he saw them as all racist, typical white people.
01:32:38.280 Right.
01:32:38.880 Yeah.
01:32:39.140 You know, who were afraid of black people walking down the street.
01:32:41.140 So he didn't want to challenge anything.
01:32:42.080 He's like, I'm already a reach for so many of these racists.
01:32:46.040 I can't give them another black person or another person of color.
01:32:48.520 So he picked him because he was white, picked him because he was a man, didn't want to challenge
01:32:52.020 the sexist thing, and picked him because he had gray hair.
01:32:54.900 In other words, he had experience where people saw Obama as maybe not having enough experience.
01:33:00.280 That is, by all reports, the reason he selected Joe Biden, not because he was the best guy
01:33:05.600 for the job, apparently.
01:33:07.100 And you see this here.
01:33:08.080 This, this is a disaster.
01:33:09.720 He is a disastrous candidate.
01:33:11.260 If you ran in that primary and lost to this guy, what does that say about you?
01:33:15.480 You suck.
01:33:18.220 You've got to be sitting here.
01:33:19.340 If you're like, I don't, you can maybe Andrew Yang at home right now.
01:33:22.120 I mean, like, what the hell?
01:33:23.480 First of all, now we're all of a sudden, both sides seem to be on the side of universal basic
01:33:27.140 income.
01:33:27.480 I don't know what happened.
01:33:28.460 Maybe they should have let me talk more in these debates.
01:33:30.700 But I mean, you're, you're, you're Amy Klobuchar.
01:33:32.900 You're, you're Kamala Harris.
01:33:35.260 You're sitting here.
01:33:35.720 I lost to this guy.
01:33:37.260 I lost this guy who, who's trying to inform us whether we're black or not.
01:33:40.640 You can't be, you can't be proud of that.
01:33:44.080 That's one way to put it, Pat.
01:33:45.780 Yes.
01:33:46.240 You can't be proud of it.
01:33:47.200 You can't be proud of that.
01:33:49.000 More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up on the Glenn Beck program.
01:33:51.960 During this time of change, we want you to know that ZipRecruiter's focus hasn't changed.

01:35:06.200 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
01:35:15.520 This is blowing up in the face of Joe Biden right now.
01:35:18.220 Is it?
01:35:18.600 I mean, people can't believe he said that.
01:35:23.020 And you ain't black.
01:35:23.900 Say it one more time.
01:35:24.800 Can we get it one more time, sir?
01:35:26.660 Because this is a Charlemagne the God talking to Joe Biden today.
01:35:31.440 And you ain't black.
01:35:32.440 Well, that's the money.
01:35:36.220 Yeah, that's it.
01:35:37.360 If you go, can we hear the whole thing one more time?
01:35:39.280 Just to give people context here, Sarah.
01:35:41.120 Again, he's talking.
01:35:42.100 The first voice you'll hear kind of is a Democratic operative, a PR person who steps in and says,
01:35:47.800 we got to go.
01:35:48.500 We're out of time.
01:35:49.680 And Charlemagne's pissed off about that.
01:35:51.880 And it escalates from there.
01:35:53.560 Thank you so much.
01:35:54.420 That's really our time.
01:35:55.520 I apologize.
01:35:56.480 You can't do that to black media.
01:35:58.500 I can't do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on.
01:36:02.520 At six o'clock.
01:36:04.140 OK.
01:36:04.940 Oh, I'm in trouble.
01:36:07.000 Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden.
01:36:09.980 I will.
01:36:10.840 It's a long way until November.
01:36:12.420 We got more questions.
01:36:14.300 You got more questions.
01:36:15.320 But I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump and you ain't black.
01:36:21.480 Wow.
01:36:23.240 Wow.
01:36:24.860 What a statement.
01:36:26.200 Yeah.
01:36:26.720 Now, they're trying to say that was in jest.
01:36:31.800 No.
01:36:32.240 That was not in jest.
01:36:33.600 I think they put a question mark at the end.
01:36:35.280 Do you guys believe this one?
01:36:36.660 I don't know.
01:36:38.160 I mean, he.
01:36:38.700 Pretty tough to wiggle out of that.
01:36:40.520 Yeah.
01:36:41.300 I don't know what you do.
01:36:42.940 I don't know how.
01:36:44.600 I don't know how you can survive this guy.
01:36:46.840 He's so terrible.
01:36:48.440 Pat and I were just talking about this off the air.
01:36:50.160 in one of the breaks where today, 2.4 million people came out in the report that were unemployed this past week.
01:36:59.160 2.4 million people.
01:37:00.640 The total now is 38 million people over nine weeks.
01:37:04.300 Do I have that right, Pat?
01:37:05.020 Yeah.
01:37:05.240 38.6 million.
01:37:06.700 38.6.
01:37:07.520 I mean, I'm just throwing it.
01:37:08.620 It's 600,000 people.
01:37:09.360 Yeah.
01:37:09.540 You just didn't care about it.
01:37:10.640 I just not even.
01:37:11.240 Right.
01:37:11.380 So, 38.6 million people in nine weeks.
01:37:15.220 In any normal situation, regardless of their fault in the way the thing was handled, any president who had to deal with 38.6 million people going unemployed in nine weeks, despite the situation, is going to face a really tough battle to get themselves reelected.
01:37:38.960 It's just fact.
01:37:40.220 And it's like one of those things where you, people associate their circumstances with the president.
01:37:47.660 And I think this is a negative development that's happened in relatively recent American history, where we have put the president on such a high pedestal, and we talk about them so often, that we almost see them as like the symbol of the country.
01:38:00.940 And when we feel like the country's going in the wrong direction, George H.W. Bush faced this in 1992, where they're running a minor recession, but people were bummed about it.
01:38:11.460 And he loses, you know, a few months after a 90% approval rating.
01:38:15.120 Those things are real.
01:38:18.100 People associate their feeling, you know, with who they vote for.
01:38:22.840 If they're happy, they want this to continue.
01:38:25.440 Ronald Reagan saw that.
01:38:26.740 When they got sad with Bush, they were like, oh, let's change and go some other direction.
01:38:31.080 That's typically the way these things are handled.
01:38:33.980 There are some circumstances where that's not the case.
01:38:36.480 Usually war is the reason for that.
01:38:38.700 When you get into a situation where you're at war, you might stick with the guy because you see him as a steady hand.
01:38:45.100 And it's very possible that a lot of Americans kind of do see this as a war, right?
01:38:48.880 The COVID situation.
01:38:51.020 And obviously, the virus isn't Trump's fault.
01:38:53.240 And you can talk about the way people handle it, and there will be things being picked apart.
01:38:56.620 But it's going to be a tough battle to get reelected in an environment if we're at an unemployment rate of, say, 12%.
01:39:02.320 Like, it's going to go up.
01:39:03.300 We know for sure next month.
01:39:04.540 Maybe it comes back a little bit.
01:39:06.060 But you're at 11%, 12% unemployment.
01:39:07.380 It's going to be hard to win a reelection.
01:39:09.280 And then every time you come down with that analysis, and I've done it in my head many times, how can you win in this environment, fair or not?
01:39:15.840 Then I look at Joe Biden.
01:39:18.040 And that's how you win.
01:39:20.020 Yes.
01:39:20.680 You face Joe Biden.
01:39:23.500 The polling.
01:39:24.320 We went over some of the polling earlier.
01:39:25.920 Right now, Biden, because he's not been in the media and not been seen, has large leads in these polls.
01:39:33.740 You know.
01:39:34.400 In swing states.
01:39:35.180 In swing states.
01:39:36.060 He's up by quite a bit, too.
01:39:38.280 Like, 8 to 11 points.
01:39:40.040 Yeah.
01:39:40.880 Arizona, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
01:39:44.680 Just a quick glance at that.
01:39:47.160 Trump would basically need to win all those states.
01:39:49.680 He might be able to lose one of them.
01:39:51.100 I don't have the electoral college built up in front of me.
01:39:54.140 But, I mean, he won those states last time, and it was a very close election.
01:39:57.380 Maybe he could afford to lose one of them.
01:39:59.820 But he is down by all, in every single one of the states, by at least, I think, five.
01:40:08.040 No, North Carolina is closer than that.
01:40:09.560 I think it's two.
01:40:10.880 Okay.
01:40:11.060 But the point is, you could look at Biden on paper and say, well, he should win, right?
01:40:16.640 Like, we're in a tough time with the economy.
01:40:19.320 Obviously, we're in the middle of this pandemic.
01:40:20.840 God forbid there's a second wave of this.
01:40:22.440 Who knows what would happen?
01:40:23.580 Yeah.
01:40:23.780 But he is so terrible and so obviously incapable of normal human interaction that I don't know that anyone can vote for the guy.
01:40:34.700 I don't see how you could look at me with a straight face and say, that guy should be president of the United States.
01:40:38.620 You can't.
01:40:39.040 You can't.
01:40:39.500 And then you couple that with the Tara Reade situation, which they apparently have just discounted.
01:40:44.020 They just thrown that away.
01:40:45.300 They just, I mean, believe all women is completely gone right out the window.
01:40:49.580 And this particular woman, they've just decided, did you see that hit piece on her in the Politico this week?
01:40:55.680 Oh, my gosh.
01:40:56.440 It was unbelievable.
01:40:58.500 This is what happens.
01:40:59.720 That they're just doing the bidding of the Joe Biden campaign and they just took her apart, calling her deceitful, manipulative.
01:41:08.300 They might as well have called her evil.
01:41:09.840 Yeah.
01:41:10.340 They basically found every enemy she's ever had in her life and interviewed them and just put it on the record.
01:41:15.740 Yeah.
01:41:16.220 And basically what it was, was she has a hard time paying some bills.
01:41:19.040 I mean, that's, but they blew that up into a federal offense.
01:41:23.740 Really amazing stuff.
01:41:25.820 All right.
01:41:26.420 888-727-BECK is the phone number.
01:41:29.000 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:41:31.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:41:49.000 I really love spending time with my family, but here at the old Beck compound, it's getting a little rank.
01:41:56.940 You know what I'm saying?
01:41:57.660 Getting to the point to where we're like, hey, still you again, huh?
01:42:01.200 If you're in a similar situation, you can empathize.
01:42:03.840 I can empathize with you.
01:42:05.000 Too much time indoors is not healthy.
01:42:07.240 But let me tell you about something I've discovered that helped calm the water some, and it's Rectech Grills.
01:42:11.940 Rafe and I are out on the back porch with the Rectech Grill, and I'm telling you, cooking for the family, it is so easy and so good.

01:42:54.720 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:42:57.200 Join the conversation.
01:42:58.600 888-727-BECK.
01:43:06.640 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:43:09.440 888-727-BECK.
01:43:11.900 Let me ask you this.
01:43:13.300 If there's a second wave, you know, we've got all these states.
01:43:16.320 Most states now are at least starting to relax restrictions and starting to get back to business as usual
01:43:23.060 and reopening certain businesses that haven't been opened in two months.
01:43:27.300 If there is, if and when there is a second wave of this virus, first of all, will the governments,
01:43:36.400 the various state and local governments, along with maybe even the federal government,
01:43:41.080 try to shut things down again?
01:43:42.440 And if they do, will Americans go along with it?
01:43:46.540 Because I don't think Americans will.
01:43:49.260 I think we're done with it at this point.
01:43:50.940 We gave them this one chance, right?
01:43:52.460 Yes.
01:43:53.000 And look, the way it was pitched was we need to get prepared.
01:43:58.480 And I think that's why it made...
01:43:59.540 And flatten the curve.
01:44:00.120 Flatten the curve, right.
01:44:00.740 Um, you can make the argument that that is, was, yeah, I don't like the exact way everything went, clearly.
01:44:09.400 And there's obviously been flares into the ridiculous with the Michigan governor and Kentucky governors
01:44:14.460 and, you know, all this nonsense of people being arrested for opening their businesses and all that crap.
01:44:19.920 But, I mean, generally speaking, if you look at what Trump basically recommended,
01:44:22.360 which was six weeks of mainly staying at home unless you had to go out, uh, trying to avoid contact, um,
01:44:29.960 probably did help the situation, right?
01:44:31.880 I mean, as far as the virus goes, I mean, definitely helped the situation in my view.
01:44:36.640 Um, and definitely hurt the economy in a massive, massive way.
01:44:39.980 It was a very expensive way to buy time.
01:44:42.540 The sad thing about this is if the CDC came through with their test, I don't think any of that happens.
01:44:48.100 If they, if the testing thing worked initially, and this is not a Trump situation, this is a CDC situation.
01:44:54.740 They tried to come up with their own test and it didn't work.
01:44:57.660 If we had hundreds of thousands of tests at the beginning of March, I think we closed down New York
01:45:02.940 and we probably closed down Detroit or, or New Orleans, but we do not have a nationwide shutdown.
01:45:09.600 They had no idea where this thing was.
01:45:12.380 And if you think about it from the perspective of, holy crap, we don't know what we're facing.
01:45:16.640 You can make the argument that the shutdown was appropriate for some time, but we now have had that time.
01:45:24.060 We now know more about the virus.
01:45:25.520 We now have the PPE.
01:45:26.800 We now have all the ventilators.
01:45:28.840 We now know who's most affected.
01:45:31.640 We, we know so much more now.
01:45:34.220 We have been able to prepare.
01:45:36.800 We have been able to move our level of knowledge forward.
01:45:40.560 I don't think the American people would be, would, would be okay with that in any way.
01:45:48.340 With the one exception of it got horrifically awful.
01:45:53.380 If, if every city in America turns into New York city, then yes, people will be begging to stay home.
01:45:58.340 But outside of that, yeah, uh, I don't, yeah, if it's a normal situation, like we just went through, I don't think Americans will go along with another shutdown.
01:46:06.920 And we've got situations like more than 600, more than 600 doctors across the country.
01:46:12.840 Just signed a letter this week, urging president Trump to end the lockdowns.
01:46:18.500 Uh, we're told all the time, well, you guys are anti-science.
01:46:22.640 We've got to delight.
01:46:23.480 Well, here are, here are people who are in this field saying, look, this is not good for us.
01:46:30.480 Uh, they said they described a, the widespread lockdown orders as a quote, mass casualty incident, unquote.
01:46:38.460 And they warned of exponentially growing health consequences.
01:46:42.140 If it continues, uh, the letter in, in this letter, the doctors described several of the
01:46:48.020 unintended negative consequences of the shutdown, including patients missing, uh, checkups with
01:46:54.160 their doctors that could detect cancer and other serious conditions and increase in alcohol and
01:46:59.200 substance abuse, financial instability leading to poverty, poor, poor health, you know, starvation
01:47:04.660 potentially, uh, they said millions of Americans are already in critical condition.
01:47:11.500 These include 150,000 Americans per month who would have had new cancer detected.
01:47:17.180 through routine screenings that has not happened.
01:47:21.460 Millions who have missed routine dental care to fix problems strongly linked to heart disease and death
01:47:27.840 and preventable cases of stroke, heart attack, child abuse, suicide hotline phone calls have increased 600%.
01:47:35.600 All of those are the unintended consequences of a lockdown.
01:47:39.520 Yeah.
01:47:40.160 And I can't, you know, I, you can make the argument, right?
01:47:44.120 That, uh, you take extreme steps in these situations.
01:47:48.180 And I, you know, look, we saw what happened when we, you know, when everyone was going about
01:47:52.000 their business, uh, you know, at the beginning, we did it late February, early March is, was it
01:47:57.440 an example of that?
01:47:58.100 It was not pretty.
01:47:58.800 However, on the other side of that, I think of it this way, like there's no, there's never
01:48:05.160 a reason for you to find a room in your house and lock yourself in it with no windows, um,
01:48:14.200 and no access to the outside for multiple hours at a time, right?
01:48:18.960 That's not something you would do.
01:48:20.840 However, that is what a panic room is, right?
01:48:23.640 So if someone's breaking into your house in that moment, maybe it makes sense to do
01:48:27.280 something.
01:48:27.980 The thing about a panic room though, is it is not a long-term life solution.
01:48:32.640 Yeah.
01:48:32.940 You're not staying there for eight weeks.
01:48:34.640 Right.
01:48:34.980 It doesn't, it's not what you do with a panic room.
01:48:37.240 It's a short term solution.
01:48:39.360 So let's just say, uh, that, you know, we're, we're already past this anyway.
01:48:44.340 We're past the point where the, this decision can be redone.
01:48:47.900 We didn't have the testing.
01:48:49.560 All of this is already real and has already occurred.
01:48:52.340 So where do we go from here?
01:48:54.000 I don't know about you, Pat.
01:48:55.300 And I wonder if you feel the same way.
01:48:57.040 I watched this debate and I watch pundits going back and forth about, you know, shut
01:49:03.100 it down, open it up.
01:49:04.900 It's, it's harder and harder to relate to living in Texas.
01:49:09.280 You know, I honestly like my day-to-day life right now.
01:49:13.480 And I know this is going to piss people off because they're like, screw you.
01:49:16.000 I'm in the, I haven't left my house in seven weeks.
01:49:18.540 Right.
01:49:18.900 My day-to-day life in Texas, I know this is different than the rest of the country, is
01:49:23.360 not all that different.
01:49:26.240 Yeah.
01:49:26.780 Right.
01:49:27.120 At this point.
01:49:28.380 Now it was several weeks ago in the middle of the real lockdown, but we've now opened
01:49:33.320 up, you know, restaurants to 50% as of today.
01:49:36.240 Uh-huh.
01:49:36.560 Um, they've opened up, you know, the only thing we're missing now are large gatherings,
01:49:40.920 which is an occasional thing for us.
01:49:42.980 Like, you know, for everybody, right?
01:49:44.120 Like, I'm, you know, I'm not going to a concert every weekend, you know, but I haven't been
01:49:47.860 to a concert in a long time.
01:49:49.080 Or a baseball game.
01:49:49.680 Or a baseball game or whatever.
01:49:50.700 And I definitely miss watching sports on TV, but you know, I'm not going every week to a
01:49:53.960 game.
01:49:55.020 And bars were closed.
01:49:56.960 And, you know, I'm too old to, you know, I'm 44 now.
01:50:01.660 So it's like, you know, I'm not like I'm at bars all the time, but like, you know, some
01:50:05.280 people would have that, right?
01:50:06.400 They're opening up as of today.
01:50:08.260 They opened up at midnight last night, which I thought was hilarious.
01:50:10.740 Like, people are so desperate to get into bars.
01:50:12.620 They're opening up at midnight last night.
01:50:14.440 So those are open now here.
01:50:16.400 There's a lot of things going, like, you know, there's things like kids camps are starting
01:50:20.860 to open here now for the summer.
01:50:22.840 You know, but like, yeah, there's, there's things like trampoline parks for your kids.
01:50:26.960 That are not open.
01:50:27.900 There's definitely, you know, big amusement parks and those types of things.
01:50:31.500 I'm not saying it's not different, but listening to this idea that, you know, the debate is
01:50:36.300 open the economy or close the economy is now foreign to most people in Texas.
01:50:42.420 The economic ramifications are there.
01:50:45.320 The there's still plenty of people with virus and there's still people dying every day in
01:50:49.720 Texas as well.
01:50:50.700 But the, the effect on us is now much different than it is if you live in New York, if you live
01:50:56.520 in, in, um, uh, California, if you live in Washington, DC.
01:51:00.280 And the reason I mentioned those three specifically, it's where all your media debate is coming
01:51:05.720 from.
01:51:06.160 You know, it is totally different than a huge chunk of people who live in the middle of
01:51:12.640 the country, who live in the South, who don't live in.
01:51:15.480 And I don't even say all of California, particularly Los Angeles County, where they've been very
01:51:20.860 restrictive.
01:51:21.360 You know, the reason why people praise Cuomo all the time is he's their guy.
01:51:27.220 He's talking about their neighborhoods.
01:51:29.680 He's talking about all of the restrictions they're dealing with in the media.
01:51:34.660 It's not like that in other areas.
01:51:36.780 People live in Florida.
01:51:38.500 They're going to the beaches.
01:51:40.420 They're going out and they're going probably to restaurants and they're, and they're starting
01:51:44.120 to open up.
01:51:44.700 It's still weird.
01:51:46.140 There's people with masks on, you know, like the, the restaurant's never packed.
01:51:50.480 They can only go up to 50% capacity here, 25% for bars.
01:51:53.660 And I know these rules.
01:51:54.360 They spaced everything out.
01:51:55.100 Yeah.
01:51:55.500 But they spaced everything out.
01:51:56.660 It's different.
01:51:57.460 It's still odd, but like you're able to go and, and do many of the things you would do
01:52:02.400 in normal life.
01:52:03.640 You know, that is something that, you know, we're blessed with, with, with the spirit of
01:52:09.280 Texas here.
01:52:09.960 Uh, and I think, um, you know, many other States have felt similar things, but these
01:52:16.880 people were now at the point where this is not a conversation about opening the economy
01:52:21.140 or close the economy.
01:52:21.960 It's a, it's a conversation about overreach.
01:52:24.260 You know, if we have another flare up now, things have been mishandled and we'll have
01:52:29.080 to adjust policy, but we've taken this time to supposedly prepare for exactly that.
01:52:35.320 We're supposed to, we now have testing that when we see a flare up, if, if Dallas or Houston
01:52:41.620 or El Paso turn into a major hot zone, we're going to know about it quickly.
01:52:47.260 And we need to act to try to contain that.
01:52:49.460 But that does not mean Cheyenne, Wyoming closes down for business.
01:52:54.440 That's nuts.
01:52:56.060 Right.
01:52:56.560 And it is no, it makes no sense for that to have to happen again.
01:52:59.800 And just to give you kind of an idea to back that up, you know how many deaths they've
01:53:04.300 had, uh, in Wyoming, since you mentioned Wyoming?
01:53:09.500 Not a lot.
01:53:10.260 It took a while for their first one.
01:53:11.840 12.
01:53:12.380 12.
01:53:13.100 Not 1,200.
01:53:14.860 12.
01:53:15.700 I mean, think of how frustrating that does because.
01:53:17.680 Uh, completely frustrating.
01:53:19.240 Because there was never a time where closing Wyoming made sense.
01:53:23.800 No.
01:53:24.200 Never a time.
01:53:24.720 There was a time where closing New York made sense.
01:53:27.540 There's a time.
01:53:28.080 Yes.
01:53:28.220 And that might still be today.
01:53:29.580 There was a time where maybe even closing Florida, you can make an argument for it where
01:53:33.080 it looked like there might be an issue in Miami for a while.
01:53:36.560 Um, you know, New Orleans, maybe Louisiana, you know, you can make these arguments.
01:53:41.600 There's never a time that it made sense to close South Dakota, to close Wyoming, to close
01:53:48.240 Idaho, to close Nebraska, to close Iowa.
01:53:51.960 Uh, you know, there were flare-ups.
01:53:54.480 There were serious situations.
01:53:55.680 I think a lot of times we get into this argument of whether is this the worst thing that's
01:53:59.980 ever happened or absolutely nothing.
01:54:03.520 And it's neither of those two things.
01:54:05.740 You know, it is serious.
01:54:07.540 It was serious.
01:54:08.100 It's killed a lot of freaking people.
01:54:09.160 And, and it's been devastating to people.
01:54:11.780 Number one, it has, it's not just killing them.
01:54:13.820 There are a lot of people who are going through it.
01:54:16.640 Even young people surviving and eight, 10, 12 weeks later are unable to do any physical
01:54:23.220 activity without being short of breath.
01:54:25.000 Some lasting effects.
01:54:25.640 There's some serious weird crap going on with this.
01:54:28.180 Yeah.
01:54:28.660 And, you know, there's a million stories of family members who never get to see their
01:54:36.500 person who goes into the hospital where they're not sure if it's a cold or what, they get
01:54:39.740 a test and they never get to see them again because they can't go into the same room with
01:54:42.420 them.
01:54:43.280 I mean, it's crushing.
01:54:44.060 A lot of the stuff is really bad and I don't want to underplay it.
01:54:45.980 It's, it's, it's not something to be underplayed, I don't think.
01:54:48.440 But on the other side of that, even the original, um, Imperial College study, the one that said
01:54:56.800 if we do nothing, we'll, you know, we'll have 2 million people dead.
01:54:59.820 Even that study, which everyone is recognizing, you know, we're not going to get 2 million
01:55:03.560 people.
01:55:04.100 Of course, we did take action.
01:55:05.060 So it's hard to put that exactly on the same scale.
01:55:07.620 But even that study that has been largely thrown away by most people as too alarmist
01:55:12.580 in that study, it specifically says the United States of America should deal with this on
01:55:20.100 a state by state basis for the most efficient policy and not do a blanket overall national
01:55:25.360 policy.
01:55:26.280 Even that study said that.
01:55:29.300 It is blatantly obvious that you should not treat Manhattan the same way as Wyoming.
01:55:38.200 Everyone on earth recognizes this.
01:55:42.120 And I think we're finally at the point where now the states are able to do that.
01:55:47.120 They are opening up.
01:55:48.140 Texas is no longer treated like it, like it, like Manhattan was.
01:55:51.620 And you can feel it.
01:55:53.100 You can feel the difference.
01:55:54.060 And as long as I think people are, you know, smart and don't, you know, don't, let's, let's
01:55:59.340 not, there's not any sneeze parties.
01:56:01.420 I know a lot of people used to love doing that.
01:56:03.500 Go around.
01:56:04.120 Let's everybody get in a circle and start sneezing at each other.
01:56:06.040 It's a lot of fun.
01:56:07.200 You know, this is a great time.
01:56:08.680 Love it.
01:56:09.120 If we can just skip that type of stuff, we should be able to come out of this.
01:56:12.660 All right.
01:56:12.800 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K.
01:56:16.760 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:56:26.380 During this time of change, we want you to know that ZipRecruiter's focus hasn't changed.
01:56:31.900 They're still doing what they've always done, helping people find work and helping businesses
01:56:35.980 find the right people for open roles.
01:56:38.420 If you're looking for a job, ZipRecruiter is working with you to find that right job faster.
01:56:44.900 They're dedicated to helping you get hired from caretaking to delivering food and goods
01:56:50.240 to building medical facilities, supplying protective equipment, and so much more.
01:56:54.620 And if you're actively hiring, ZipRecruiter will invite candidates to apply to your most
01:57:00.100 urgent roles, making it faster and easier to reach the people you need.
01:57:03.980 So it's more important now, more than ever, to stay connected online.
01:57:08.760 And by connecting people who need jobs and companies that need people,
01:57:13.100 ZipRecruiter is working with all of us to keep moving forward.
01:57:16.540 America, we're in this together.
01:57:17.980 So let's get to work together.
01:57:20.080 ZipRecruiter.com slash work together.
01:57:22.780 That's ZipRecruiter.com slash work together.
01:57:28.760 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:57:31.400 And I'll tell you another thing that pisses me off.
01:57:33.980 This Aunt Becky situation where she's going to prison for two months and her husband's
01:57:40.360 going for five.
01:57:41.200 So why that seems a little sexist.
01:57:43.500 She gets two months and $150,000 fine.
01:57:46.560 Her husband, who is not Uncle Jesse, she dumped him somewhere along the way.
01:57:50.720 And I think that's the real crime here.
01:57:52.760 But her husband, Massimo or whatever his name is, Giannulli, he gets five months in jail
01:58:00.980 and a $250,000 fine.
01:58:03.800 I don't know what's going on there, but why are either one of them spending one second
01:58:08.740 in jail over this thing?
01:58:10.680 This is the dumbest continuing controversy, I think.
01:58:14.540 I am totally.
01:58:15.140 That I've ever seen.
01:58:16.520 Totally with you on this.
01:58:17.960 I'm so glad.
01:58:18.400 And there's not a lot of people who are.
01:58:19.620 Right.
01:58:20.000 I don't know why.
01:58:21.000 A lot of people are pissed off.
01:58:22.120 Well, that's unfair to other people.
01:58:23.820 No, it's not.
01:58:24.680 Why?
01:58:25.100 No, it's not.
01:58:25.500 What is it?
01:58:25.840 There's no difference.
01:58:26.880 The USC is not like, well, we only have 22,000 people and we would have 22,001 if we let
01:58:31.620 this other person in and Becky's kid.
01:58:33.580 That's not going to happen.
01:58:34.480 That doesn't happen.
01:58:35.200 That's not real.
01:58:36.580 It's just a BS argument for people to say, well, I don't like what she did, which is
01:58:40.040 fine.
01:58:40.560 I think it's a dumb parenting move because you're coddling your kid into a better college
01:58:44.960 than they could get into normally or getting on a team that they wouldn't necessarily achieve
01:58:49.700 on their own.
01:58:50.140 It's not a good thing.
01:58:51.680 It doesn't help your kid.
01:58:53.040 It's not a good example to set for them.
01:58:54.640 But that is not a crime.
01:58:56.320 No.
01:58:56.600 That is not a crime.
01:58:57.680 Whatever law they've busted her on should be removed from existence if there even is
01:59:04.600 one.
01:59:04.780 If they're even trying to tie it to a crime.
01:59:06.840 The fact that you want to pay more to attend a university.
01:59:11.180 I got news for you.
01:59:12.080 When you want better tickets at a concert, you pay more.
01:59:14.960 When you want to have your kid in the college, and this has been constant, you buy a building
01:59:18.960 or you make some large donation, guess what your kid gets into college.
01:59:22.120 But the fact that she paid directly to get her kid into college is some crime.
01:59:28.180 It may be distasteful to you.
01:59:29.880 It is not a crime.
01:59:31.000 It's insanity that she's going to prison over it.
01:59:33.780 She should not only not go to prison, not spend one cent in fines.
01:59:37.420 Absolutely.
01:59:37.980 Not one.
01:59:38.440 That's right.
01:59:39.420 That's right.
01:59:39.940 She should have been told, hey, that wasn't very nice.
01:59:42.280 Yeah.
01:59:42.520 And we should have moved on.
01:59:43.620 You might want to fire someone who works at UFC or Arizona State over it.
01:59:46.900 Fine.
01:59:47.060 You might not like it in your college.
01:59:48.360 You might want to get rid of the person who engaged in it.
01:59:50.300 Right.
01:59:50.620 Okay, fine.
01:59:51.440 But jail time and losing her career forever?
01:59:53.680 No.
01:59:53.880 Come on.
01:59:55.400 It shouldn't have happened.
01:59:56.240 It's ridiculous that it is.
01:59:57.760 You know, everyone's talking about Karen with the COVID thing.
02:00:00.220 What is this?
02:00:01.040 Right.
02:00:01.240 This is every Karen getting upset that Lori Loughlin got her kid into a college that isn't,
02:00:06.200 I mean, Arizona State, are we good?
02:00:07.400 It's not Harvard, guys.
02:00:10.040 Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
