this november we are standing on a cliff overlooking the kind of political and moral drop from which our
00:02:51.960
country has not seen in at least 100 years as individuals it is up to you and me to make good
00:02:59.220
choices even when it comes to something as simple as the cell phone service that we use
00:03:03.620
i would never never do a commercial that sounded like that at the beginning of the commercial
00:03:09.840
to get you to buy something if it didn't actually help the country here's why your cell service can

00:03:35.380
towers are all really owned by four different companies everybody's on those cell towers you're
00:03:43.600

00:03:48.820

so gavin newsom declared a state of an emergency after announcing that california had 53 confirmed cases
00:04:43.460
of coronavirus including one death the deceased patient was a resident of uh of california was on
00:04:52.780
a princess cruise ship that went from san francisco to mexico last month the boat's currently at sea
00:04:58.580
slated to return to san francisco soon however they're delaying the cruise ship's arrival
00:05:03.320
to give federal officials more time to prepare for that lax looks like one of the screeners has tested
00:05:10.860
positive one of the people who are screening you every day can you imagine having that job
00:05:15.260
seattle has confirmed 10 new cases today the latest coronavirus death is among the 10 cases confirmed
00:05:22.720
on wednesday the patient who died was described as a woman in her 90s who lived at life care that's a
00:05:30.500
nursing home in which multiple cases and deaths have been reported i can't even imagine what it is like
00:05:36.160
to be in that nursing home working at that nursing home being a patient there or having your parents
00:05:43.820
there can you imagine if your mom or dad was in this nursing home it's now quarantined so you can't go
00:05:49.820
and see them the staff is overwhelmed like nobody's answering the phone call it's it's like a it's a bad
00:05:59.740
scary movie and you know the the stats on coronavirus i i i want you to really try to understand what's
00:06:09.820
happening here coronavirus is spreading rapidly but it is not and i have to be really careful because i'm
00:06:20.120
in the target range i'm at the bottom end of the target range if you are under 18 nobody's nobody's died
00:06:29.360
yet somebody will but nobody's died yet under 18 in the world it generally doesn't affect kids
00:06:36.740
children and and uh adolescents they can get it but it's not that bad generally people who are around 60
00:06:49.340
are the ones who start to get it and they're the the hardest hit the ones who are dying the median age
00:06:57.440
is 80 so the median age of really being affected by it is 60 the median age of dying is 80 now with that
00:07:06.640
being said i don't want to lose my parents i don't want to lose anyway i i mean i know probably five
00:07:15.140
people off the top of my head that if this happens and they get it they probably will die
00:07:22.080
some of them are younger than i am by far but they're not healthy
00:07:29.700
so i want to be really careful that when we say oh you know it's just okay it's like the flu okay it
00:07:37.020
yeah but there are humans that are attached to that
00:07:40.560
and our hearts and our prayers and our thoughts go out to anybody who is struggling with this
00:07:47.420
stew just said he was reading something just um what was it a blogger yesterday last night
00:07:54.800
so yeah someone i follow on twitter that does you know election stats and such and just said um
00:08:01.980
uh if if you're the praying type pray for a person with a with a breathing tube currently down their
00:08:07.980
throat on their last leg suffering from this horrible virus um coronavirus sucks particularly when
00:08:13.680
it's threatening to kill members of your own family that's so sad i mean i can't imagine being
00:08:18.200
in i mean no and this is happening all over the place and you're right you might not be in the target
00:08:23.160
here but you will know somebody knows someone who is you're gonna know somebody now listen here's why
00:08:29.240
this is being uh this is getting to be to look like panic there's a couple of reasons and i'm gonna go
00:08:37.860
into what the government is doing economically that i don't understand um however when it comes to
00:08:47.760
hey we're gonna close schools we're gonna declare a state of emergency they want people to stop
00:08:54.480
traveling they want people to stay at home you know a lot of people don't have a choice because
00:09:00.980
they either don't get paid or their boss yells at them because they're sick all the time
00:09:05.580
anytime that anyone in this building comes in sick we all look at each other and go what are you
00:09:11.140
doing go home go home no i'm not that sick but you're gonna get us sick go home but people always
00:09:21.000
are like i'm gonna soldier on i'm gonna be fine i'm not that sick well it's not about you it's about
00:09:26.700
everybody else and that is the key on this one they want to try to stop people from getting it
00:09:33.020
so it doesn't spread throughout everywhere you don't want 70 percent of the world having this
00:09:40.180
even though the vast majority are not really going to have a problem from it it's not like any other
00:09:48.900
virus we have seen we don't think that you build up immunity so you just get sick and then what
00:09:56.080
the people we have to pray for are the people who are on the front lines of this the people who are
00:10:02.460
driving the ambulance the people who are in the hospital the nurses the doctors the firemen
00:10:06.920
this is why they're saying please stop buying the n95 mask please stop buying it because they need it
00:10:16.980
and as much as it might make you feel better they need it and there is a global shortage on this
00:10:26.000
you might feel better well i didn't get sick well yeah but maybe a nurse or a doctor did and either
00:10:32.780
couldn't perform and couldn't help really sick people or they died we are going to need every
00:10:40.560
doctor every nurse every fireman everybody on on duty the people who are getting it are the ones who
00:10:49.780
who are serving those who are serving those who are sick we need to keep them in our prayers and and help
00:10:56.620
them in any way that we can that's why italy is now banning all sports stadiums all sporting events are
00:11:04.240
can are going to continue but the fans won't be allowed to attend we're talking about now what is it the
00:11:11.360
um uh the ncaa tournaments this year they're now talking about the final four and all of the
00:11:19.160
tournaments leading up to it not happening with crowds just in empty stadiums that's amazing amazing
00:11:25.080
that's a historic it's happening and they've already done it in other countries where they're having
00:11:28.880
soccer matches with empty stadiums right i mean it's it's progressing pretty quickly down that road
00:11:33.440
yeah uh the dow has added almost 1200 points that was yesterday uh it went 1173 points
00:11:42.280
that is up almost five percent just yesterday um that comes after massive losses on tuesday
00:11:53.440
even though the fed said we're gonna cut the rate we're gonna cut the rate and then everybody freaked out
00:12:00.480
and panicked why is the fed doing that and i'm gonna give you some information on why we should
00:12:05.800
be questioning this then it surged yesterday it was up almost 1200 points and today what does it stand
00:12:13.100
now we're opening the opening bells in about 15 minutes what does it look like it's going to open
00:12:17.040
i'd say in between down five and seven hundred points which i mean it used to be something really
00:12:22.120
dramatic right and but after this last couple of weeks where it's been up a thousand and down a
00:12:25.880
thousand so many times it's hard to even put that in perspective anymore we now have the second new
00:12:31.460
york family infected according to governor cuomo uh one of the family's daughters tested negative the
00:12:38.540
governor said but the father of the family came in contact with the westchester attorney who had been
00:12:43.760
diagnosed earlier he says there's going to be dozens and dozens and dozens of people who are sick
00:12:49.880
united airlines has reduced flights in april they have announced that it's going to reduce its
00:12:55.700
domestic flight schedule by 10 those are the domestic flights 10 reduction and international
00:13:03.920
flights by 20 in april due to declining demand the employees are offering the option to voluntarily
00:13:12.360
apply for an unpaid leave of absence instituting also a hiring freeze and suspending the 2019 merit
00:13:19.860
salary increases until july this is why we are going to have trouble with the economy this is why the
00:13:28.320
dow is reacting you have the airline industry already taking globally what they project to be a 30 billion
00:13:38.520
dollar hit um and that's a problem that's a problem how many cruises we are i'm not going to talk about
00:13:48.460
this on the air until you can just follow if you're on our cruise just follow the directions that you are
00:13:56.300
getting in the mail i just cut something i think a day or two ago uh that should have gone out we are on top
00:14:03.220
of it we are uh we are going to have final decisions for you in the next few days um but this is there is a fine
00:14:14.160
line between panic uh and and uh insanity in the other direction you have to find that fine line
00:14:26.540
now a thousand people are in self-quarantine in new york yesterday the congress just approved 8.3
00:14:35.220
billion dollars in emergency funds now donald trump okayed what was it 2.5 billion for coronavirus 2.5
00:14:45.280
billion to put this into perspective barack obama was praised in i think 2009 2010 when he okayed a
00:14:55.720
billion dollars for swine flu okay well that's swine flu i didn't do anything swine flu had killed a
00:15:04.120
thousand people in the united states before the president did anything what is the dead here in
00:15:11.720
america eight a thousand people swine flu killed 10 000 americans and the president was praised for
00:15:21.580
giving a billion dollars after a thousand people had died this president gave 2.5 billion when no one
00:15:30.740
had died and congress just upped it to 8.3 billion now i am not complaining i'm just saying that's a lot
00:15:41.680
of money really early and another reason why people look at this and say well what is really going on
00:15:48.840
i mean if they're doing this why if they're saying it's nothing to worry about hospitals now are being
00:15:57.840
told by the president's coronavirus task force uh that they need to be more proactive in testing now
00:16:04.940
here's the problem if you think you have the coronavirus you go to the hospital first of all
00:16:11.140
alert the hospital call someone say i think i might have the corona virus what do i do don't just show up
00:16:20.660
in the emergency room if you think you have it call them in advance if you're going to call an ambulance
00:16:31.020
let them know in advance the kirkland fire department now has a group of their firefighters
00:16:38.320
that have to be quarantined and they can't do any emergency runs because when that first patient
00:16:45.260
was called no one said we might have coronavirus they didn't know but now we do if you think you have
00:16:53.680
it call in advance so you are not exposing everyone else possibly to this people are being told just
00:17:04.180
self-isolate this is one of the reasons why um they are talking about canceling events etc etc because
00:17:14.360
maybe you shouldn't go to church is there a way to watch church um you know at home is there a way to
00:17:22.240
do church at home do you have to go to the movies this weekend this is going to hurt everything and
00:17:31.060
everybody but they're doing it so it doesn't spread as fast the best thing that everyone can do is
00:17:38.540
isolate themselves as much as possible it will stop this from growing out of control it it is less at
00:17:47.340
this point about the number of people that will die as it will be about the number of people that
00:17:53.760
are infected because it will overwhelm the system and we all know cloward and piven what happens when
00:18:00.980
you overwhelm the system all right here's a few things that you don't need in your life you don't need
00:18:06.920
a hole in your head you don't need you know a lollipop that was uh dropped on an airport floor
00:18:13.400
that your kid is like oh lollipop and slow motion putting it towards their mouth and i really don't
00:18:19.480
need a cd of bernie sanders singing the hits now here's the other thing you don't need cyber criminals
00:18:25.440
you know those delightful people whose constant goal is to steal your information i don't need those

00:20:08.720
stocks the s&p 500 however has been relatively stable has it not yeah it's down a little bit i think
00:20:16.240
year to date it's down two and a half percent which is not uh panic levels although it was a little higher
00:20:23.140
it it gone up a little bit from the beginning of the year to the beginning of coronavirus uh hitting
00:20:28.460
uh the markets but it's you know it's it's luckily we have a strong economy but i you know there's only
00:20:35.860
so much it can take right and this is happening in other parts of the world when you talk to big
00:20:41.180
manufacturing cities in china and and sort of disrupting the global supply chain situation so
00:20:49.300
with that going on you run into a lot of issues where i mean you know you're this is this is going to
00:20:55.400
be very difficult for the world to just handle especially because we don't have treatments for

world you're not gonna do it yeah really wow no the only way to get to heaven is to lick this doorknob
00:25:55.640
not gonna die neither am i no i think you know there's some weird things that happen in iran
00:26:03.000
now that is an understatement uh but uh you know that the latest is besides the licking of the
00:26:09.540
doorknob in the shrine is the idea that the coronavirus has gotten so bad in prisons
00:26:16.500
that they've decided to open the doors of prisons and let almost everybody out they freed 55 000
00:26:24.660
prisoners yeah uh that doesn't nuts i mean we're quarantining people and they're like hey all these
00:26:33.660
sick people in prison let them out let them out go roam around what is that there might be a reason
00:26:40.460
the virus is that bad in that country because they're doing things that just don't help you
00:26:46.000
think yeah that that doesn't help that's not a good idea um there is a story today uh
00:26:51.440
a uh a woman called the police for help uh because she has been she was locked in a bathroom
00:26:59.640
took out it took place after a man found out that his wife had met with a chinese woman who had been
00:27:06.200
to italy recently the um the man claimed that he acted on the advice of a medic and he chased her into
00:27:15.400
the bathroom and then locked her in the bathroom now i'm not sure that that doctor quote unquote he was
00:27:23.200
consulting with uh actually said that uh but the woman has not filed any charges against her husband
00:27:30.780
maybe she should uh in in iran they're now saying that anybody who is hoarding
00:27:38.740
may face the death penalty wow okay wow hoarding medical commodities in the current circumstances
00:27:49.620
playing with the lives of people and cannot be forgiven by any means so so if you're already in
00:27:56.800
jail don't worry they're gonna let you out but if you hoard a surgical mask you could be executed
00:28:05.580
and what qualifies as hoarding uh if you're stocking up on certain items you know just in case for an
00:28:12.200
emergency is that is that hoarding isn't that exactly what they did in germany yeah all of the
00:28:17.080
people who had been prepared yep all of a sudden were called hoarders uh and they got in trouble with
00:28:24.460
the government so i don't i don't know i don't know i even know i know i said last week that
00:28:29.640
uh i have a surgical kit uh i went as far as years ago making sure that i had a at-home surgical kit
00:28:40.500
by the way it does not come with a manual i had to buy that one separately you know how to remove
00:28:48.140
you know an appendix i don't know i bought the book and the kit just in case you had to do it to
00:28:56.040
you or somebody in your family well i don't think i would be doing it to me i would hope not
00:29:00.600
but i don't know who i would want in my family hey rafe yeah come here man i got a really bad pain
00:29:06.100
in my side cut me open and take that out will you this is an interesting conversation though who
00:29:09.900
would you pick to do the surgery tanya you'd pick tanya yeah even if it is even if it is tanya
00:29:15.660
who is sick you should do this honey because i feel like she probably wants to kill you for
00:29:21.620
multiple reasons so putting you under and and doing a surgery we haven't figured out how to
00:29:26.960
put people under yet no probably jack daniels jack daniels will be the way to do it will be the way
00:29:33.980
to do it drink until you pass out then the surgery starts yeah can you imagine that oh man so i guess
00:29:39.880
i'm hoarding you know surgical supplies i guess i don't i don't really know uh here are the really
00:29:46.120
bad stories uh out of the coronavirus baby yoda is being delayed no no no we may not make it because
00:29:53.100
no don't you do it till at least december right they say it may not if something doesn't change
00:29:59.080
soon it may not even make it for christmas oh no one of our producers bought tickets to
00:30:05.480
the james bond movie that was coming out uh-huh and he daniel craig i guess is hosting snl schedules
00:30:12.700
host snl this weekend or whatever for the launch yeah and now they moved to november yeah i'm really
00:30:17.800
upset this was your big thing really i don't care if my family dies it's the james bond movie the james
00:30:24.640
movie i'm a huge daniel craig fan yeah i love i think he is a great actor and i think yeah i'm gonna
00:30:31.180
say it sean connery you have been bumped off daniel craig is the best james bond we've ever had
00:30:38.960
by far and this is his last one and you're moving it no better than timothy dalton yeah
00:30:47.000
timothy dalton yes okay should we talk george lasenby here for a second who lasenby yeah yeah
00:30:54.560
that's his name i think he did one he did one now dalton did a few right he did three or three maybe
00:31:00.780
maybe not a lot two or three yeah but lasenby only did one if i remember i don't even know i don't
00:31:06.300
think i've ever heard the name george lasenby what did what kind of bond fan doesn't know all
00:31:10.660
the bonds well i knew timothy dalton i didn't know george lasenby because that was i think 60s he did
00:31:17.980
when he did it he did one movie on her majesty's secret service 1969 okay one oh i always thought
00:31:24.500
that was great craig i never had not craig uh uh connery i'd never seen that one connery only did the
00:31:31.780
first couple right oh listen to this why did george lasenby only do one bond movie george lasenby
00:31:37.520
had a bad manager who advised him to not do any more bonds because it was never going to last
00:31:41.520
oh my god that's true that's amazing george lasenby right now is like
00:31:47.020
i'm praying for the coronavirus i could have been somebody that's amazing that's a bad decision
00:31:55.900
that's that's a that's a tough one that's a tough one so here is um here's some other bad news a truck
00:32:01.580
carrying toilet paper went up in flames due to a mechanical error in brisbane australia uh apparently
00:32:10.260
australians there's something about this they're stockpiling toilet paper you notice that in china
00:32:16.820
you didn't hear these stories and i think that may be a reason why it was so bad in china you didn't hear
00:32:24.320
them about we're stop we're running out of toilet paper kleenex has come out and said there's no
00:32:30.140
reason to panic we're gonna make all the toilet paper and all the tissue anybody wants um let me go
00:32:36.980
to let me go to kent washington casey is in washington state welcome to the program hey good to talk to
00:32:44.200
you again and uh got to see you at christmas and we talked for a little bit uh so i've been on the
00:32:49.040
phone a couple of times with you well great i think pat should do a michael jackson voice for
00:32:54.400
the little yoda before he dies so maybe we could do that and the michael jackson i'm i'm in the kent
00:33:00.380
area and uh in the last couple of days it's just amazing some of the local radio announcers have
00:33:05.780
have said that they have tried to find out supplies here locally and then find out that
00:33:11.140
antiseptic supplies at the big box stores they might be open but 81 miles from here they've got
00:33:17.420
plenty down in the south deep sound down in centralia and i know you know the area
00:33:22.480
because of mountain but um i'm not very far at the moment from the new place that the county bought
00:33:29.320
which is an old howard johnson uh bought by econolodge which is now closed and they're going
00:33:35.240
to use that as a quarantine place without telling anybody in the city of kent and the mayor is
00:33:41.000
absolutely upset i would imagine did they buy three or is this the first of three that they
00:33:47.960
bought they're just buying these old motels and saying uh yeah we're just going to keep sick people
00:33:54.060
in there yeah this was the first i know i've been trying to keep uh abreast of what's what's been
00:34:00.400
going on and by the way i want to say hello to my friends at boeing uh especially one who has
00:34:05.460
turned around about five people to the blaze network all right well good i appreciate i appreciate
00:34:10.420
that turning that on all right anyway uh that's what's going on here with uh with that there's
00:34:17.680
been a lot of stuff that's been hoarded for instance i i have bought you know to keep myself healthy uh
00:34:23.680
two large bottles of um the well-named aloe vera uh company that makes uh hand sanitizers and i
00:34:31.640
remember buying those for 17 bucks in november they're now up to 89.90 on amazon but uh they're
00:34:39.160
being you know hoarded uh so you can't get anything the shelves up here all right casey thanks the
00:34:46.780
experts are saying too like the the antibacterial it's not even like there's no point in it just
00:34:51.320
like wash your hands they're saying the pure elf thing is not even something that you need it has
00:34:55.640
nothing to do with this it doesn't help doesn't it kill the it can it can be as good like it's a
00:35:01.620
more convenient way to wash your hands right like in and again i don't even think they're saying it's
00:35:05.760
necessarily to that level but like they're saying don't don't substitute it for washing your hands
00:35:11.740
and also if you can just wash your hands enough you don't really need pure elf it's not necessarily
00:35:16.340
an additional layer of protection we have a guy in uh washington state who visits the nursing homes
00:35:23.180
uh i guess is it reverend mel is that right yes it is hi reverend how are you all doing really good
00:35:32.840
um i'm totally blind but uh i go into the nursing homes every week and uh one of the things i wanted
00:35:42.220
to bring out is that every nursing home that i that i go to and minister in is severely i mean grossly
00:35:52.060
severely understaffed where they can't even move the patients or the residents down to the lunchroom
00:36:00.840
for a service and then with this on top of it a lot of them are canceling out uh now like i can't go
00:36:12.160
to this one nursing home for two weeks because of the corona thing which is good they should be very
00:36:18.540
protective of them and uh the other thing is i wanted to bring out so i want to echo this the
00:36:25.840
same sort of thing that the gentleman said before me is that uh we went to costco um just the other
00:36:35.520
day i think it was on uh monday and it was a madhouse it was worse than christmas eve i'm not i'm not
00:36:45.900
kidding you we stood in line for uh a good hour before we even was able to get checked out and
00:36:54.360
then fred meyers we just went to fred meyers the other day and they were out of toilet paper they
00:37:00.160
were out of uh hand sanitizers they were so so what is it what is it that people are what is it that
00:37:07.860
people are preparing for just to stay home they're afraid that they're all going to be quarantined is that
00:37:15.140
what's happening yeah i think i think that's part of it but you know but you know the thing is here
00:37:21.500
is that all you know king 5 homo 7 and 13 are just whipping the people into frantic every day that
00:37:33.080
the whole hour and an hour and a half is just coronavirus coronavirus coronavirus and um i know i just
00:37:43.600
came from the doctor yesterday for my and saw my injection and he said just vinegar water and just
00:37:51.160
plain soap and water yeah he said don't worry he says it's it's just being blown way out of proportion
00:37:59.160
and all right um i know here in shoreline they open fern crests up
00:38:04.240
which is real old you know fern crests um here on 15th northeast right here reverend i'm sorry i
00:38:16.040
have a network break i have to get to um but i understand it and what what he's saying is
00:38:20.140
they're opening up these places that have been closed for a long time they're doing this in
00:38:23.340
california they're thinking about opening up the old state mental institutions and using them for
00:38:28.680
places it is it is crazy uh what we're seeing but the best thing you can do is not panic not worry
00:38:37.020
about it just keep yourself informed uh on what's going on and just stay at home if you're not feeling
00:38:45.060
well uh all right let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's relief factor uh relief factor
00:38:51.540
is something that has really truly changed me changed my my health it's changed the way i i
00:38:58.380
feel every single day uh you know if you've been following me for a long time i i had some really
00:39:04.540
tough years uh where i was just in such bad pain all the time i just couldn't do anything and i tried
00:39:10.000
everything i finally gave up and then my wife said you have to try this please just try it well it's
00:39:17.260
relief factor i did and i feel better now that i have felt in probably 10 or 15 years and it's because
00:39:25.000
of relief factor i take it three times a day 70 of the people who who try it go on to order more
00:39:30.840

00:39:37.940
natural way to ease your pain and get your life back go to relieffactor.com right now relieffactor.com
00:39:48.780
talk about politics here for just a couple of seconds uh first of all everything the president
00:40:03.020
said yesterday about coronavirus is absolutely true he said it's just a hunch but i don't think
00:40:08.960
this 3.4 death rate is where it's going to end up it's a lot lower than that of course it is and
00:40:15.300
every single medical expert that i have ever read or heard talk about this says exactly the same thing
00:40:22.780
of course but as stew is going to point out on his program tonight stew does america uh he's got all of
00:40:29.400
the stats he's looking at what everybody is saying and they just dog pile on donald trump and so they're
00:40:36.220
gonna they gotta prove that he's wrong on that yeah despite the fact that they all know what he's
00:40:40.800
saying and they all know he's right yeah they all know he's actually the hunch is a good phrasing for
00:40:45.600
it yeah because we don't know there's not a hundred percent certainty from scientists yet but the
00:40:50.360
scientists have all seen these things happen before and they've all said this is not the final number
00:40:55.820
it's going to come down they don't even say it's a hunch no they just say it's going to come down
00:41:00.440
that's because when you test things uh when you have more tests available there's probably
00:41:05.040
a ton of people walking around this country right now who think they have allergies and have
00:41:10.200
covet 19 and we're not going to know that until all these tests are available uh so we'll give you
00:41:14.960

it actually had the drive in it when i was a kid then i loved it uh but i like actually mowing the
00:43:10.500

00:43:14.800
thoughts and the new hustler turf is the lawnmower experience that you've always been looking for

every saturday if you're mowing your lawn and it takes you a couple hours to do you could cut that

keep calm and carry on is uh kind of it kind of works today in america things are starting to look
00:44:42.880
crazy even more crazy than they were in america because of coronavirus what is the truth on this
00:44:51.380
should you be panicking are they giving you all of the information
00:44:56.180
what do they know that we don't know there's a couple of things that are happening that are just
00:45:01.000
real mixed messages and i think i can help you with that and we'll give you all of the latest on
00:45:06.320
that we're about an hour away from our coronavirus update but i want to spend some time here talking
00:45:10.640
about it and also chuck schumer oh and the latest poll from florida for the democrats holy cow bernie
00:45:19.980
sanders it's over all that and more in one minute this is the glenbeck program
00:45:26.820
the old saying is the best defense is a good offense and it's true but nowhere can you see
00:45:33.980
this more clearly than with simply safe if you're using home monitoring system that is simply safe
00:45:40.440
you got it the guy who's been casing your house for the week or so um that you just don't know
00:45:45.840
because he's casing your house hopefully you'll never have to meet him or you'll never have to
00:45:51.420
you know worry about him because you have simply safe when he comes up to your door and sees that
00:45:55.580
you have simply safe installed he's apt to turn away and find an easier house to deal with in fact
00:46:00.840
the number one thing that burglars look for is do you have an alarm system and is it armed
00:46:05.980
that's a good offense and defense simply say protects every door window room with 24 7 professional
00:46:13.200
monitoring outdoor cameras and doorbells alert you to anyone approaching your home
00:46:17.500
entry motion and glass breaks and break centers guard the interior i will tell you i had a very
00:46:25.300
sophisticated uh system put into my home uh that was really i bleed expensive uh what 12 years ago
00:46:35.940
simply safe does the job it has more tools to that now than uh that top of the line you know kind of
00:46:45.680
nobody but uh nobody but somebody in my position would have that kind of alarm system put in
00:46:51.960
i can get the same thing now in your house and you'll pay 50 cents a day you'll buy the system
00:46:56.920
but wait until you see the price of the system they're giving away a free hd camera that camera is
00:47:02.700
a hundred dollars if you just go to simply safe beck.com you get that security camera so
00:47:07.840
if that's a high-end hd security camera and it's a hundred bucks you know the system doesn't cost you
00:47:14.680
an arm and a leg and 50 cents a day to monitor are you kidding me do it now simply safe beck.com
00:47:23.580
so i want to start here i want to start with joe in florida who works at a local hospital hello joe
00:47:41.720
welcome thank you for taking my call glenn i'm a very very avid listener thank you and i appreciate
00:47:48.640
everything you do thank you so so much so how can tell me what you're feeling in the hospital uh
00:47:56.700
there in florida well i we're in the tampa area and my wife and i work for one of the major hospitals
00:48:03.720
here in tampa that is handling now that we have been informed the uh testing for the coronavirus
00:48:11.160
on or about the 10th of february we received a company a hospital-wide email that they were
00:48:19.500
uh have two patients that they were observing for uh an infection they weren't given any details of
00:48:28.080
what the infection was but they made sure that it went out that uh all the employees knew
00:48:34.640
now none of the public was told the tv stations radio none of this information was let out lo and
00:48:42.340
behold but six seven days ago bam the tampa bay area has two coronaviruses
00:48:47.860
and we were not told where they got it where they've been who've they touched i think the best
00:48:54.880
way if somebody tells me that they've been to a local supermarket and that's where they've contacted
00:48:59.560
it i'm not going to stop there information is key so what are you what are you saying
00:49:08.420
i'm saying that we're not getting the information we should be about where it's spreading from if
00:49:16.680
people are going from the airport i mean they're saying that they've come from this country or they've
00:49:22.020
been to this facility but that doesn't help us when somebody's sick with the measles a kid and
00:49:27.300
they've been to junior's house you don't send your kids over to junior's house anymore for another
00:49:32.000
13 14 days well the problem the problem is joe is we don't like junior but you know we'll sure
00:49:39.000
we're going to stay away are we sure you know the problem is is that we haven't known because we
00:49:43.820
haven't had the testing etc etc so we haven't really known what we're dealing with until recently now
00:49:50.240
that the testing and this is why what donald trump said yesterday is is right he said you know i'm just
00:49:56.980
basing this on a hunch but that number of you know 3.2 uh for the number of deaths that number is
00:50:03.600
going to come down it will because there are people walking around right now with the coronavirus that
00:50:09.400
don't know they have it and it's not affecting them in any sort of way that is putting them into icu
00:50:16.080
and so you know in the past we haven't known we still won't know for a while because you know as
00:50:23.700
mike pence said yesterday in his press conference we are looking now just now to being able to get
00:50:30.920
people uh the diagnostic labs the commercial diagnostic labs to start taking tests for the
00:50:39.140
coronavirus right now you have to go to either a university a state-run university hospital
00:50:44.720
or one of the regional hospitals that can do it soon all of our hospitals will be able to test
00:50:50.940
and your local doctor will be able to send you to you know quest diagnostics you know where they take
00:50:56.240
your blood they'll be able to swab and then alert you and you can go to your regular doctor that's not
00:51:02.060
happening yet and that's why we're going to see these numbers explode i agree with you once we know
00:51:08.380
we have to tell people but i'm not sure if we all knew about that uh even a couple of weeks ago joe thanks
00:51:15.780
so much for your phone call uh there's a couple of other things that uh i i want to address stew is
00:51:21.320
going to be talking about this tonight uh where trump is going up against a media that wants him to fail
00:51:29.120
they must blame all of this on him and they're going to disagree with whatever he says for instance
00:51:36.140
he gave 2.5 billion dollars for the cdc to be able to start their work on what is happening in
00:51:45.760
coronavirus before there was a single death in the united states now i want to put that into perspective
00:51:51.320
during the swine flu when barack obama gave the first one billion dollars for the swine flu
00:51:58.120
and everyone in the media cheered this is so brave and he's way ahead you didn't hear me
00:52:05.800
complaining that he gave a billion dollars you didn't hear me complaining when he didn't give
00:52:11.100
a billion dollars soon enough i thought it was appropriate there were about a thousand people
00:52:18.540
that had died in the united states before he released the first billion dollars that's barack obama
00:52:24.840
and everyone made him out to be a hero donald trump gives two and a half times that amount
00:52:30.840
before anyone dies and he's a villain he's acting slow right yeah no one had died here in america yet
00:52:39.400
uh then on top of it uh they just released 8.5 billion dollars yesterday okay good if that's what it's
00:52:49.460
going to take if that's what the they need fine but are the politicians doing this because they're
00:52:55.020
actually operating on information or are they just operating on get the president so we have to be
00:53:01.860
really really careful because what the president said yesterday is 100 accurate it is based on quote as he
00:53:10.580
said a hunch but every single the cdc uh every single person that i've read from the who they all say
00:53:20.480
the same thing the number of death rate right now is about 3.1 to 3.4 percent they expect that number to
00:53:28.640
come down possibly below one percent as the death rate of course it will we're not testing people so if
00:53:37.880
you're seeing you're seeing uh you you don't know how many people have heart disease and all of sudden
00:53:45.140
four people in your hospital come in and they had a heart attack and they die well we've had four
00:53:51.880
people and they just died from this heart thing that is in the center of their chest if something
00:53:57.380
goes wrong with your heart so far it's a 100 percent death rate no there's lots of people that have
00:54:03.280
heart attacks and heart problems and it doesn't lead to their death we have a lot of people with
00:54:08.960
covid19 right now that don't know it and we know that's happening they just were talking about this
00:54:15.300
infection in washington and they believe thousands of people have been walking around spreading it to
00:54:20.700
each other for weeks but it because you know they might think they have allergies they might think
00:54:25.240
they were sick with something else they might not even notice it at all it's not that big of deal
00:54:30.720
in most people yeah then that's what it looks like that looks right to be true right by the way so if
00:54:36.640
it's not that big of a deal in most people when you start to see the numbers of this go up through
00:54:42.720
the roof which they will now and that's going to seem bad it's actually good over that we're diagnosing
00:54:48.440
exactly over the next few weeks we're supposed to get uh i think it's 1.5 or 1.35 million tests
00:54:55.080
for covid19 in the united states by next week is what they believe they're going to have so far
00:55:03.180
there's only been a few hundred maybe a couple thousand people who have been tested in total
00:55:07.540
as of last week there were only 422 tests that had been done total coast to coast alaska and hawaii so
00:55:15.880
because they're only using these tests when it is very obvious you go into a hospital you have all the
00:55:25.120
symptoms you're about to die they test you right so yes the death rate seems pretty high because those
00:55:32.100
are the people getting the tests however when you go to um let's just say uh you have a sore throat
00:55:38.000
and you go into the urgent care today what are they going to do they're going to swab your throat
00:55:42.680
and give you a strep throat test right because they have plenty of those so anyone who comes in
00:55:48.080
who has the even the possibility of having a strep throat they give you a strep throat test same thing
00:55:53.540
with the flu you get a flu test every time you go in there when you're sick i don't think i have the
00:55:56.980
flu yeah but we just want to rule it out right that's what they always say to you well eventually
00:56:01.520
down the road we will have enough tests for covid19 for that to be the process yeah that's a problem
00:56:06.600
don't trump hasn't done enough how come we don't have 320 million tests that we could take right now
00:56:11.680
i know i don't know why he didn't think of this before you know someone had bat soup which we don't
00:56:16.480
think is actually the cause but it's the funniest way to say the cause poor bats are getting blamed for
00:56:20.020
all this um you know there have been other countries that are a little bit ahead of us
00:56:23.140
popular as romney but go ahead that's true uh and there's some people who are criticizing over
00:56:28.100
that i mean look it's about making sure uh that you accelerate this as fast as possible we're going
00:56:34.180
to put in a lot of private businesses that are going to make this happen in an impressive way and
00:56:38.780
so far the the response i think has been correct for trump and he's put i think a lot of uh weight on
00:56:45.460
it it's not his area of expertise but he's put his best people on it and that's what you do
00:56:49.880
but like like for example he said trump's quote is this well i think 3.4 percent is really a false
00:56:57.180
number now this is just my hunch but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people who do this
00:57:01.560
because a lot of people will have this and it's very mild they'll get better very rapidly they don't
00:57:05.820
even have to see a doctor they don't even call a doctor you never hear about those people and he goes
00:57:09.600
on to say um uh so i think that number is very high personally i'd say the number is way under one
00:57:16.140
percent again he based this on a hunch here is a quote from the new england journal of medicine
00:57:21.000
tell me how dissimilar these are other than the fact that one guy's talking like a doctor and one
00:57:25.380
guy's talking like donald trump if one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally
00:57:29.700
symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases the case fatality rate may
00:57:34.940
be considerably less than one percent same thing it's the exact same thing that's from the new england
00:57:41.240
journal of medicine he's just saying it like donald trump as opposed to like a doctor but what
00:57:46.800
he's even saying it may if it turns out it is at some level a hunch because they don't know all the
00:57:52.480
details yet but it's acting like all of the previous viruses they have uh that they dealt with before
00:57:58.700
they've seen these things come before they have hundreds of years of medical knowledge that has brought
00:58:04.780
them to this point and they're now under trying to understand what where this is going to go
00:58:10.000
and they think they have an idea of it but they can't be certain which is why you have to take
00:58:14.220
it seriously okay so stew is going to do this this is opening monologue tonight on stew does uh america
00:58:19.120
you don't want to miss that blaze tv.com subscribe right now and watch it you can watch it online
00:58:24.060
as well youtube as well go subscribe there on podcast subscribe all right so he's got that tonight but
00:58:29.420
there's a there's another part of this that i think is really important the other reason why you're
00:58:34.000
getting you're feeling like there's mixed messages the president is saying one thing
00:58:38.000
and then you'll hear from the medical community saying for instance the cdc said stop comparing
00:58:45.200
this to the flu it's not the flu why are they doing that because they need us to stay home
00:58:52.820
the entire world is doing this this is not about an election or an economy or anything else
00:58:59.680
they're trying to get everyone to stay home because if this mutates at this point without some sort of
00:59:07.100
vaccine it could become very very deadly and so they don't want it to spread until we're more
00:59:15.780
prepared for this we are probably 10 days away from a vaccine announcement coming from israel that could
00:59:24.900
put us six months away from a vaccine being able to be made and then how fast can they get that around
00:59:32.520
the world they are trying to buy time in case it mutates in a dangerous way but as i told you
00:59:40.400
yesterday this is already mutated once and it has become less dangerous in its latest mutation so
00:59:49.200
that's good news you just have to stay informed and don't spread the things you're like well this is
00:59:57.380
crazy did you see this cats are going out at night and intentionally they've been they've been hired by the
01:00:05.560
democrats to scratch people corona starts with a c cats start with a c there's a c at the end of dnc
01:00:18.160
what do you think is going on don't spread that stuff get the real information and tell your friends
01:00:29.700
got a great great hour remaining we've got to get to chuck schumer and what is happening with chuck
01:00:37.780
schumer where the media they care about donald trump saying exactly what the new england journal of
01:00:42.500
medicine said but they will not care about chuck schumer and what he said i think is dangerous

all right because you have a life and strangely this is what you pay us to do to not have a life
01:02:11.840
just pay attention to this stupid crap coming out of washington let me give you what um schumer said
01:02:19.440
that some would say and i'm one of those uh is was threatening the conservative supreme court justices
01:02:27.780
listen to what he said and they're taking away fundamental rights i want to tell you gorsuch
01:02:34.620
i want to tell you kavanaugh you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price
01:02:42.660
you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions
01:02:51.160
really what do you mean by that chuck can you imagine what they'd say if i gave that same speech
01:02:59.820
about him and you not only if you gave that speech what they'd say to you but they would go around to
01:03:05.500
every republican in in congress and get their reaction to see if they agreed with you and they
01:03:11.760
would make you they would make them denounce you if they were going to be in good standing with the
01:03:16.760
media so chuck what did you mean what did you mean he's his way out of this is what i was saying is
01:03:22.260
uh republicans would face electoral consequences that's not a consequence they won't know what
01:03:26.820
hit them that that has nothing to do with supreme court exactly he he act he's acting like he was
01:03:31.500
applying that to uh politicians which is not he's no he before it and after it says uh he says the name
01:03:38.700
specifically and then he says if you come down with these decisions which there's no decisions
01:03:44.120
coming out of congress that yeah they're they're talking about the supreme court supreme court and
01:03:48.500
he's and he has no idea the whirlwind that he has brought upon himself in my opinion they are now
01:03:55.320
calling for him to step down it won't happen the press will not cover this they'll just oh they're
01:04:01.080
just saying like oh republicans are pouncing on his comments yeah no is that what they're doing is that
01:04:05.280
is that what's happening i just want you to listen to who he was speaking to here's a cut of one of
01:04:10.040
the women at this this uh pro-abortion rally you can't say this is pro-choice because there is no
01:04:16.300
choice anymore there is no choice you either choose the way they choose or you're gonna have a whirlwind
01:04:23.480
come on your head listen to this woman who is pro-abortion in the speaking before chuck schumer listen
01:04:31.080
yes we're the abortion providers at we're the future abortion providers at
01:04:38.040
awesome and a special shout out to where my people who had abortions
01:04:50.760
awesome yeah so as i said i had an abortion when i was 19 it was honestly one of the best decisions of
01:04:59.620
my life i was simply not ready to become a parent and that's really all you need to know
01:05:05.320
all right that was a great decision yeah great great decision i don't think anybody in america
01:05:12.580
wants to condemn anyone in that situation i'm not here to judge anyone i am going to i am going to
01:05:19.880
judge you if you're like you know what it was great and i've had a couple of them because you know
01:05:26.440
i just hey it was where i was at and it was great and i encourage you to do it no no i am going to
01:05:34.200
judge you on that but this is where the left is this followed by chuck schumer same rally you're
01:05:44.080
listening to glenn beck maybe that would explain what's happening in florida we'll give you that
01:05:49.400
coming up in just a second somewhere within the sound of my voice in america there's a man standing at
01:05:53.140
open an open grave of a bygone era casting his his gaze not on the death of an ideal
01:06:00.520
but the death of a place in time the old days they're called fondly he thinks about the old
01:06:07.440
days they're gone now but the ideal remains and it burns inside of him spills onto everything that he
01:06:14.580
touches that's the spirit of the cowboy you're not pining for the old days you're pining for the
01:06:20.240
things that are true a filter of integrity which a lot of people in this country this cowboy has will
01:06:27.640

welcome to the glenn beck program hello america it is thursday we have our coronavirus update the
01:07:21.580
official one coming up here in about 30 minutes from now it's one you don't want to miss share
01:07:26.180
it with your friends there's lots of information disinformation and misinformation that is going
01:07:30.580
around uh you know slow down on the toilet paper stuff uh we'll get to that here in in just a few
01:07:36.540
minutes i want to introduce you to somebody uh her name is tracy walter and you might have you might
01:07:41.560
have heard of her uh because she just released a book called the unexpected spy she was a sorority
01:07:49.520
sister in her junior year of college in california when she met a cia recruiter at a jobs fair
01:07:56.220
and uh and she went to work for the cia when you hear what she's done uh and then you you listen to
01:08:05.740
her tell these stories and you're looking at her and you realize she's now just a teacher in a an
01:08:13.620
all-girls school here in dallas texas if you watched the the tv show like i did years ago alias
01:08:22.100
it really kind of becomes real all of a sudden where this sweet girl is just oh you know i'm just
01:08:29.100
and then she's got off you know investigating and interrogating terrorists someplace in the world
01:08:35.020
welcome how are you thank you for having me i'm good so have you been compared to the alias story
01:08:41.780
alias is is is definitely the one i hear the most yeah in terms of comparison how how similar was your
01:08:47.600
life uh in some ways to that so i've never watched alias oh really no okay well you know the the idea
01:08:54.940
that you go out and you are actually in these these really crazy situations you've told give give give
01:09:03.580
just a couple of things that you have seen and done in your life that would shock people if they
01:09:08.920
were passing you in the grocery store so i've interrogated terrorists i think most people are
01:09:14.140
usually surprised when they hear that right um i've served some time in some pretty um desolate war
01:09:19.420
zones um seen a bunch of decapitated heads yeah um i've watched a woman die yeah so those are just some
01:09:27.140
you are you are um when you say you in you interrogated terrorists you went over and these
01:09:35.820
are some of the real bad guys in the world that most of them would never ever speak to a woman
01:09:43.080
and here you come in you seem like you're very mild and sweet and nice what is the situation like
01:09:51.640
when you walk into somebody who's not used to talking to a woman or answering to a woman
01:09:56.140
so that's a good question i think it depends on sort of what stage of their detention they're at
01:10:01.880
if you catch my drift um you know if they've just entered yeah um you know they're usually a little
01:10:07.080
bit more combative and i'll usually need to work with someone to kind of get us through that um and
01:10:12.600
then you know if they've been there for a bit and they're a little bit more complacent it's it's
01:10:16.180
usually not that big of a deal i mean they're there they're in prison they have to talk to me and
01:10:21.680
you know it may seem sweet but i have a little bit of a bite sometimes i bet you
01:10:25.420
i bet you do um so you went out uh and let's start at the beginning you're just at this job fair
01:10:35.040
and they approach you so the way that it worked was at usc is is where i did my undergrad we have a
01:10:41.600
sort of a main thoroughfare and it's called truesdale parkway and on truesdale parkway
01:10:46.160
there were just a bunch of different tables set up for a bunch of different organizations and i actually
01:10:50.780
went to the cia table um and gave them my resume so i guess i sought them out okay and so you get
01:10:57.560
in and what year was this this would have been 1998 1998 and you actually come up with a uh chemical
01:11:06.220
weapons chart yes right explain what that is that you did so during my time at the cia i worked in the
01:11:12.520
counterterrorism center in the weapons of mass destruction group and so one of the things that
01:11:16.620
we did just to keep the people who we were following straight it was just for visual purposes
01:11:21.240
was we created sort of a toxins and poisons chart you know who was at the top of procuring these
01:11:27.320
weapons for al-qaeda and then you know where were their henchmen and so we had created that chart and
01:11:32.260
we sort of put that chart um on the walls of all of our cubicles to just keep an eye on things and it
01:11:38.160
was just a lot easier to track where they were did you ever think of to cross your mind maybe i'm
01:11:42.480
in uh how did i get here into this profession where i have that chart on my cubicle wall
01:11:48.700
this is i i don't used to i think i kind of questioned my my career choices if i'm like
01:11:54.780
oh yeah deadly toxin chart i got it over here on the wall of my cubicle um and this is this this chart
01:12:02.360
um what role did it play in the iraq war so um the chart what we had titled it was al-qaeda's
01:12:11.260
poisons and toxins group they were just a cell that we were following that was trying to procure
01:12:15.740
them one day um in our office it wasn't unusual to have members of the administration sort of
01:12:20.700
coming in and out just given the given the nature of what we were doing and and the year that it was
01:12:26.320
um and someone from the administration had come down and wanted a copy of of that chart which if
01:12:32.300
they ask you of course say yes and i don't think we thought really anything more about it um until it
01:12:38.140
was used by colin powell on the floor of the un how'd you feel about that um so i think not what
01:12:45.160
people assume um you know i think my mind didn't jump to the iraq war actually initially i think for
01:12:50.440
us what was frustrating was there were individuals on that chart who we didn't want to know that we
01:12:56.060
were looking for them um and as a result all of those individuals sort of went underground and
01:13:01.740
disappeared so were there chemical weapons in iraq you know this this story has never really
01:13:08.240
had a satisfying answer one way or another do we know you know i don't i don't know that we know i
01:13:15.160
mean i moved to the fbi about a year later so i'm not you know entirely certain um what they
01:13:20.740
ultimately found i mean we know saddam hussein used chemical weapons i don't think that's shocking
01:13:26.120
they're a nation state most nation states have them um but in terms of al-qaeda um we don't really
01:13:32.660
have evidence that they were trying to acquire nuclear weapons per se you concerned about what
01:13:37.560
was announced yesterday on the nuclear weapon front from from iran yes i i tweeted that actually the
01:13:43.600
other day i'm i'm actually very concerned explain what what came out why it concerns you so why it's
01:13:49.100
concerning is now we we believe um that they have more than enough nuclear material to build a nuclear
01:13:55.420
bomb certainly there's kind of steps they have to take to do that obviously they need the
01:14:00.420
centrifuges and launch devices and all those kinds of things but i am concerned that they now have
01:14:05.440
obtained enough material the coronavirus they thought that this was a weapon i don't believe
01:14:12.640
that at all do you agree i do you agree you do not what about the bioweapons lab that's a level
01:14:19.180
four bioweapons lab there's only a few of them there are we apparently said to them don't don't
01:14:25.380
you should probably shut that one down because it's right it would be like us having it in los
01:14:29.540
angeles right in the center of los angeles right right which is not where you put bioweapons no
01:14:33.720
have you ever been to a bioweapons lab uh yes i have scary uh scary but you're right they're not
01:14:39.600
usually in the middle of densely populated areas right i mean i read i don't know if you know who
01:14:44.520
keith albeck is um he was the head of the bioweapons lab was ken ken albeck uh bioweapons lab
01:14:52.360
uh and research in the soviet union uh and defected as soon as the wall came down the stories he tells
01:14:59.280
about the difference between us we we look at something and say can we cure it and then and then
01:15:07.860
can it be used as a weapon yes they do the opposite i totally agree with yeah they think that if if it has
01:15:13.380
a cure it's not a good weapon which is insane that's that's the way at least the soviet union
01:15:18.460
was i don't know about now i feel like that's the way a lot of countries sort of look at it more so
01:15:23.000
than us you know we look at whether or not we can cure things and that's a good thing we should
01:15:27.060
yeah um but i do i feel we're not doing enough in terms of being more aggressive about how these
01:15:35.340
things are weaponized and how to keep ourselves safe so when you went to the fbi why'd you make the
01:15:40.540
transition from cia to fbi so that's a good question um i loved my time at the cia i left
01:15:45.960
under great terms and still friendly with a lot of people there but one thing that was never going
01:15:50.620
to change about the cia was their mission abroad and i think you know at the ripe old age of 26
01:15:55.900
i realized i wanted a little more stability in my life i knew eventually i'd want more stability in my
01:16:02.000
life um but i was really passionate about the counterterrorism mission so i thought you know why
01:16:07.120
don't i become a special agent now with the fbi and hopefully i could work stateside you know in
01:16:11.740
one office how do you feel about the fbi and its credibility now and and i don't even mean about the
01:16:18.280
i don't even mean the the agents per se but the way things have been dealt with recently it just it
01:16:26.800
doesn't i've always been very very pro law enforcement fbi i think these guys are amazing
01:16:33.160
but the people up at top have really that there seems to be a culture where they're burying a lot
01:16:39.440
of stuff that must eat at fbi local agents that may be afraid of retaliation for saying anything
01:16:46.800
do you how do you view what's happening at the fbi now so i obviously have a lot of respect for law
01:16:54.280
enforcement right well i always have um i think it's a difficult it's a difficult question for me because
01:17:00.160
part of my judgment you know of the fbi is a little bit clouded by the pretty terrible way
01:17:05.420
that i was treated um when i was there so sometimes it's hard for me to sort of separate the two and
01:17:10.280
look at it objectively what was the pretty terrible way you were treated um i was severely sexually
01:17:15.420
harassed um at the fbi i am sorry i missed that part of your story i don't even know how how i missed
01:17:21.700
that part of your story what what happened it was a culture shock for me because i had come from
01:17:26.340
the agency um you've been overseas a lot worked with many men members of seal teams and had never
01:17:32.120
experienced any negative treatment whatsoever so it was quite a shock for me you know really from my
01:17:37.900
first day of quantico on um it just didn't stop ever and from what i understand it hasn't changed
01:17:44.580
um there's a eeo lawsuit right now 17 women um about gender discrimination what's happening there
01:17:50.940
i mean do we have a chance of cleaning this out if you asked me that before i found out about this
01:17:58.160
new lawsuit i would have probably said yes but it's disturbing to me that in 2020 we are still
01:18:04.540
having this issue i would i would have thought that perhaps things would have changed when the police
01:18:11.100
become the bad guys you're in trouble because there's no who do you go to who do you go to when
01:18:18.000
that's what had happened um my instructors at quantico were terrible to me too um it really was
01:18:24.400
kind of all the way up the chain didn't stop i don't want any of the tales i because i don't okay i
01:18:31.080
don't care um you know i mean out of respect it's in the book yeah yeah i just don't i just don't need
01:18:37.780
to hear somebody to recant or recount regale all of their worst nightmares how bad was the sexual
01:18:45.820
uh you know trouble what were they doing um i would say it was more verbal than anything else
01:18:56.520
um and i know you don't want stories i'll just give you one you can you can i just don't i don't
01:19:01.320
like pressing people on stuff like no i can give you one small anecdote that will sort of set the
01:19:05.140
stage i guess for everything else and you'll i guess gain an understanding of of how it proceeded um
01:19:11.400
one of the very first things that you do at quantico and i'm not sure that we still do that
01:19:15.320
there um is interview you learn you know how to conduct interviews and so you have to wear a suit
01:19:19.780
instead of your uniform to do that fine and it was the same suit i had worn for five years that the cia
01:19:26.260
never had experienced any pushback about it i did my interview did fine but my head instructor called
01:19:33.020
me into her office afterwards and said that i needed to write a letter of apology um to my interview
01:19:38.700
instructor because my suit made him uncomfortable and that i needed to go buy new suits um and
01:19:44.480
you know i'm sort of embarrassed to say that i did do it um i probably should have quit you know right
01:19:51.680
there i'm not really quitter and i i wanted to finish almost despite these people i think um i did buy
01:19:58.180
new suits and was i was digging through old pictures recently and i found my graduation picture
01:20:02.000
from quantico my mom was like the crotch of your suit is down to your knees because i had purchased
01:20:06.680
such large suits to sort of overcompensate well for that wow um the name of the book is the
01:20:13.720
unexpected uh spy uh tracy walder and i have not had a chance obviously to read it yet i want to read
01:20:20.100

01:20:51.780
stand by i'm not a big fan of people doing things in my name especially you know uh when i don't know
01:21:02.640
about it we live in a digital world and much of what makes us up as people in society is uh floating
01:21:09.160
around in the ether there are people now that are trying to grab that stuff and be you in all of the
01:21:16.280
wrong places there is something that you can do about it and that is fight cybercrime with lifelock

01:22:15.180
wow there are some major things happening uh politically that you should know about first
01:22:29.200
of all warren has just dropped out of the presidential race so that means it is now
01:22:34.780
officially bernie sanders joe biden and tulsi gabbard tulsi's moving up to third
01:22:39.940
she is right behind you guys yeah she's there i think it'd be great like maybe they'll both drop
01:22:44.900
out she'll just win that would be an interesting turn so what does this mean who does this benefit
01:22:50.520
yeah and by the way we should point out that i don't think she's said it herself yet there are
01:22:54.360
reports uh that it is happening as we speak however um you know here is a what does it mean i mean it
01:23:00.920
helps bernie clearly uh though it's not entirely clear that her votes would go to bernie and it's
01:23:09.320
not entirely clear that she would endorse bernie um she did endorse uh hillary in 2016 she's she's
01:23:15.400
much more of an establishment creature than yeah and i think people look at her as much more of an
01:23:20.640
establishment creature you could also make the argument she goes out she uh endorses um she goes
01:23:27.340
endorses biden it might be the type of thing where he would consider her for vp or something else
01:23:33.320
big um because that would you would think completely uh close the door on bernie bernie is in in serious
01:23:39.860
trouble this has gone out of control fast we talked to you about this poll um a little bit earlier in
01:23:44.080
the program new poll out of florida taken yesterday with bloomberg still included in the race so
01:23:50.260
and warren and warren as well uh biden 61 sanders 12 this is like the i've never seen a jolt of
01:24:00.240
caffeine into a campaign like this in history well i've never seen this happen in my lifetime i mean
01:24:06.680
every day i come in i'm like i gotta report on something i've never seen happen in my lifetime

01:24:52.080
we'll give you the latest on that the amazing polling that is coming out i've never seen anything
01:24:57.000
like this but i feel like i say that every day all this and so much more begins in one minute this
01:25:05.780

01:26:36.760
morning central time total confirmed cases now are 96 286 that is up about 2000 from yesterday at this
01:26:46.900
time with that being said you're going to see this case number start to rise because america is going
01:26:52.500
to start doing extensive tests you know just a week ago there only been about 400 people that had had
01:26:59.020
a coronavirus test now they're starting to enter into the thousands so we will see that number go up
01:27:06.680
and the percentage of the death rate that death rate is really important you'll start to see that
01:27:12.440
come down total confirmed deaths is up about 100 people globally 86 countries have now confirmed cases
01:27:21.260
that is an addition of five new countries overnight seven more now have suspected cases
01:27:27.080
17 of active cases are now considered serious now that's number is important that number is dropping
01:27:34.740
just at the beginning of last week that number was 19 of all active cases were serious meaning they
01:27:41.900
required hospitalization or uh or the five percent that require icu the united states now has 160
01:27:50.040
confirmed cases now 11 deaths 10 in washington state and one in california we're going to give you the
01:27:57.440
details on what's happening in washington state because it's a little crazy in washington the confirmed
01:28:02.360
cases in the u.s now include washington state oregon california arizona texas wisconsin illinois new york
01:28:09.620
new jersey massachusetts new hampshire rhode island north carolina georgia florida with an additional
01:28:15.400
suspected case in missouri and colorado california and washington and washington have the highest number of
01:28:21.820
infections with 40 plus cases in each state that makes sense those are huge asian population centers and the
01:28:29.180
closest to asia in washington king county is now asking all 2.2 million residents of king county that's the
01:28:39.320
seattle area county all 2.2 million residents to work from home if possible county officials are asking
01:28:49.300
employers to move from work to a home basis for all office and administrative workers if possible
01:28:55.160
the request also includes recommendations to avoid any large gatherings of more than 10 people
01:29:01.120
especially in confined indoor spaces officials in seattle and king county also recommend that
01:29:09.300
any person over the age of 60 or with underlying health issues stay home avoid going to public
01:29:15.800
places or having physical contact with others just as a precaution the the reason why they're doing this
01:29:22.540
is the fatality rate for 60 plus is estimated at this point but these numbers will come down to be about
01:29:30.100
five percent so the median age of those who are getting it is 60 the median age for those who are dying is 80
01:29:41.460
so it is really dependent on age that's why so many uh are getting sick in nursing homes all washington
01:29:52.320
residents are being asked not to lick envelopes if they are voting by mail in the state's march 10th primary
01:29:59.900
i don't think i've licked an envelope in a long time and i'm glad we're past that
01:30:06.140
stew's looking at me give me a weird look yeah because you do now if you ever do send out an
01:30:11.240
envelope which even that i feel like is relatively rare at this point they've got the little peel off
01:30:15.660
right right that's how that works it's been a while yeah hospital officials are asking any person
01:30:20.620
coming into a hospital who suspects that maybe they have covet 19 uh the to call ahead and wear a
01:30:30.100
surgical mask to prevent the spread however how are you getting a surgical mask that's the problem
01:30:36.360
surgical masks are in high high demand but this is really important for everyone to understand
01:30:43.360
if you think you have the covid uh virus it is really important to call ahead because you don't
01:30:53.140
want to walk into an emergency room where a bunch of people are that don't have it and then sit in the
01:30:58.480
waiting room call ahead and they will make arrangements for you to come king county has also bought a motel
01:31:06.120
to house covid 19 patients now the board of supervisors purchased the 24 room kent motel to house
01:31:14.140
patients who don't require icu treatment they say the old motel is ideal because it has hard surfaces which
01:31:22.000
can be disinfected and independent heating and cooling units in each room there's no shared ventilation
01:31:28.200
just in case covid 19 is airborne which we don't know yet so they bought this old hotel the problem is
01:31:37.400
uh they didn't let the the mayor or anybody else in the area know that that's what they were planning
01:31:44.300
the move is designed to ensure hospital beds are reserved for those requiring icu and other life-saving
01:31:50.180
medical procedures we are going to see this more and more because our hospital staffs are going to be
01:31:57.260
overworked this could be a real nightmare i would hope that there are those florence nightingale types
01:32:05.380
that are thinking now that they want to volunteer their time because i think we're going to need
01:32:12.220
volunteers in the future counties uh the king county is also using 18 mobile homes originally planned for
01:32:19.080
homeless shelters in a secondary location near the motel gavin newsom the governor of california is also
01:32:24.880
designated modular homeless shelters as potential covid 19 quarantine facilities for the homeless
01:32:30.500
or other patients california has set up 18 fema provided modular home homeless shelters in january of
01:32:37.980
2020 which now could be used as quarantine centers the who the who the who and the cdc are now saying
01:32:47.820
please please please stop comparing covid 19 to the seasonal flu
01:32:53.760
now this is where it gets dicey because right now you need to understand the most important thing we can do
01:33:04.040
is contain this we don't know what this will turn into we think that the death rate we think we have a handle
01:33:12.280
on that we think the death rate is going to be a lot uh a lot lower is going to start falling and as it starts
01:33:21.840
to fall uh you will see that people will not panic so much the reason why i think people are panicking is
01:33:31.380
they don't know what this is this is the this is the unknown and the the lack of known unknowns you know
01:33:41.840
what i mean the old rumsfeld thing right we don't know what we don't know yet and i think because this
01:33:48.060
is so new people are freaking out about it so they're saying don't say this is just like the flu
01:33:54.020
because then people won't take it seriously and we which they should the flu kills a lot of freaking
01:33:59.280
people 600 000 people worldwide every year it's a big deal it's not something you should you should
01:34:07.020
you should be able to just dismiss they're thinking this is 10 times deadlier and two times
01:34:13.120
more contagious they think that if if it mutates or if the numbers stay the way they are which no one
01:34:22.000
thinks except currently the press because of of donald trump yeah uh that it could kill 20 times or 30
01:34:29.740
times more than the average flu remember we don't have treatments yet too it's another big part of this
01:34:34.860
the reason why the flu uh rate is so low at 0.1 percent right it's not because if you left it
01:34:41.880
completely untreated it wouldn't be a 0.1 percent it's a 0.1 percent because we've developed a really
01:34:47.280
good defense against it half the population takes the vaccine every year uh there are four approved
01:34:53.760
medications to treat it or these are all big things that help get that rate lower we haven't done any of
01:34:59.300
that stuff yet with covid that's why they're so scared of it especially this year we don't even know if
01:35:03.680
it's going to be a seasonal thing if we go into you know may and this is not dying out that doesn't
01:35:13.280
give us a break right now we're hoping that this is a seasonal style flu that will hide itself again
01:35:20.640
until fall and when it hides itself we'll have time to really stock up really prepare really get up on our
01:35:28.500
feet so we're trying to play catch up now because and it's not that anyone is behind it's just that
01:35:36.100
this was an unknown it is a brand new virus of the likes of which we've never seen before they're saying
01:35:44.260
that the concerns the reason why they say don't say this is like the flu is because people won't they
01:35:50.140
think won't take the necessary precautions to prevent and slow the spread as much as possible
01:35:56.540
their real concern here is that hospitals are going to be overwhelmed my real concern is if you're in
01:36:05.660
oklahoma or kansas or heck even idaho any place where you have a a regional hospital and then you're
01:36:17.200
looking at a very very small hospital where we only have a couple of doctors when that doctor gets sick
01:36:25.780
and they will if they are treating everybody in town when that doctor gets sick who's going to
01:36:33.660
replace that doctor how does that doctor get sleep so they don't get sick so they're really concerned
01:36:42.060
about just our resources being overrun right now up in in washington state the fire department the
01:36:49.220
ambulance anybody who was called on that first death now is in quarantine so now all of those
01:36:54.140
firefighters and paramedics can't go out and help people that's why they want you to call in advance
01:37:01.540
hey i think we need to get you to the hospital okay call the ambulance tell them this is covid 19
01:37:09.480
they may be asking that now but in seattle on that first death they didn't ask that question
01:37:17.660
nobody informed them when they got there it was too late the other thing the reason why this is being
01:37:23.560
taken so seriously is not because of what it is today but what it could continue to become if it mutates
01:37:32.200
into something more dangerous it is already split once from an original s strain uh to the l strain
01:37:40.300
and i said earlier today that the l strain is actually less deadly that's not true it's actually the
01:37:46.640
reverse of that the l strain is more deadly so it's already beginning to mutate i want to talk to you a little
01:37:54.120
bit about what the banks are doing and what the imf did yesterday what congress did what the president did
01:38:01.240
because there's there's a couple of things that i think is really really important that our government
01:38:09.960
is doing and there's and and the banking sector but there's also something that just bothers me a great
01:38:17.060
deal and i can't put my finger on it yet and i want to share that in one minute
01:38:21.340
pound for pound unless you are an international spy driving is probably one of the most dangerous things
01:38:32.440
you do for any extended period of time during your day a lot of rides literally a lot of it just is on
01:38:39.600
the ability and the trust that you have that your car is going to get you from place to place safely
01:38:43.840
and efficiently that's why when things go wrong it kind of really really sucks car shield has affordable

01:39:46.980
all right i i want to go back to something that we talked about earlier uh today um and that is
01:40:05.440
what's happening with the banking sector the dow is down how much i know it opened about 700 points down
01:40:14.900
today um and down 540 currently so it was way up yesterday way down the day before way up before that
01:40:26.100
um this is going to be an unstable ride anywhere uh anywhere from give me 20 off the high stew
01:40:39.400
what it was about uh 29 so it was 24 yeah i mean it you know about that uh you you you know obviously
01:40:50.140
that's that's kind of the technical recession term about 23 2 so i think that anything that we see
01:40:57.080
around 20 doesn't really concern me um it is not good but it's also the world hasn't seen something
01:41:06.560
like this when it starts to go down you know closer to 30 when it starts to get down to
01:41:14.060
you know dow 20 000 then we're talking about some real trouble and i think we might hit those things
01:41:21.740
because airlines are starting to have to um take losses uh the cruise industry is going to take huge
01:41:29.540
losses all of these things they just moved the um the bond movie because that movie they think the
01:41:37.880
theaters are going to be empty this spring and they probably will be so all of the industry that
01:41:44.720
requires you to go out all restaurants everything else they're going to take a real hard hit anything
01:41:51.780
that you can get delivered to your house will be better uh but we're gonna we're gonna change the
01:42:00.000
economy if this continues to go for a long time we're going to change the economy into a very isolated
01:42:05.280
style economy now the imf chief yesterday called for a quote all outs no regrets response to the epidemic
01:42:15.120
which poses quote a serious threat to the global economy at a time of uncertainty
01:42:21.360
quoting quoting it's better to do more than to do not enough all right this is good but here's the problem
01:42:29.260
we what what is it that this is going to do right now except use all of the bullets you have in your gun
01:42:39.460
you know that was the problem with the fed the fed started to use all of the bullets in their gun
01:42:46.700
uh and there there's not going to be anything left afterwards
01:42:52.660
we're already moving uh the fed rate down they're asking for more uh in fed cuts and more for the central
01:43:04.960
banks at some point nothing's going to have an effect anymore it's like an overuse of antibiotics
01:43:14.200
the the central bank cuts are like antibiotics to the economy and after a while they just don't work
01:43:23.100
anymore it's going to be interesting to see now a way the fed cut might be useful is for companies that
01:43:33.040
need to keep their doors open and if they can if they can borrow money at almost zero percent interest rates
01:43:39.080
they can keep their doors open and just hope to make it up later but i i'm concerned that the imf
01:43:49.800
and the fed are just opening up the floodgates at this point that just doesn't seem logical to me
01:43:58.200
or the right move to me what do you think the the percentage of zero to 100 what what percent
01:44:04.300
of the panic that's going on now is just a result of the way these various governments are handling
01:44:10.780
this like and they may be doing it appropriately but like they are signaling to us hey we're closing
01:44:17.040
down all schools in the country of italy like these are situations you wouldn't so i think these are two
01:44:22.720
competing things i think they are you have to do what i think the world is reacting to this
01:44:30.920
in a very positive way an appropriate way yes and i think for medical issues i think they're doing the
01:44:39.000
right thing i think by saying stay at home work from home blah blah i think those are all really good
01:44:45.560
things to do however if i'm the economist in the room and i'm only worried about that because that's
01:44:53.060
my job right i'm like okay you're going to uh you're going to save this but you're going to kill
01:45:01.380
this and what point you know we might be saving in the short term for instance the overwhelm of the
01:45:10.500
system which is it has to be done an overwhelming of the medical system but at the same time while
01:45:16.820
you're saving the medical system you may be killing the economy which drives the medical system you know
01:45:22.900
i mean how do you buy anything when nobody has any money so i think they're just walking this line that
01:45:30.160
has not been walked ever before i'm concerned that the fed moves as quickly as
01:45:39.980
the medical people are moving because the medical people have more bullets in their gun
01:45:46.540
than the fed does you're listening to glenn back american financing nmls 1-82334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org
01:45:56.400
now while these rates are so low i want you to do the financially responsible thing right now
01:46:03.660
if you could save money on your mortgage or if you can consolidate and save a thousand dollars a month
01:46:12.260
that'd be the smartest thing you could do right now you really need to get prepared for what could
01:46:18.880
be coming economically to your life your world you do it without panic you do it you know when nobody
01:46:27.520
else is thinking about it while everybody else is thinking about toilet paper may i suggest
01:46:32.420
you refi your loan may i suggest you go back in and look at your mortgage and see if you can you can
01:46:40.220

01:47:11.380
it at blaze tv.com slash glenn use gb20 for 20 bucks off welcome to the glenn beck program it is
01:47:23.780
thursday and what a week it's been and we've had the uh we've had super tuesday changed the world
01:47:29.680
uh looks like elizabeth warren has just dropped out we saw the latest poll in florida this is with
01:47:37.220
elizabeth warren and michael bloomberg still in the race those two are both gone it shows
01:47:43.240
biden winning with i think 61 of the 61 of the vote and bernie came in two with 12 i will say actually
01:47:54.280
bernie came in third place behind bloomberg so bloomberg now not in the race warren not in the
01:48:00.460
race like it i in my entire life watching politics i have never seen a bigger turnaround in a campaign
01:48:07.980
than this one you've seen stuff like you know there were issues like john mccain for example
01:48:12.900
had to fire all of his advisors yeah uh but that was like 2007 yeah and then he turned it around before
01:48:19.260
people started voting so this is after the voting started it's incredible i want you to realize
01:48:24.320
that this is the time i warned you about i mean i just met with my producers yesterday and said
01:48:30.400
hey we need to go through everything because this is like glenn beck prediction central right now
01:48:36.840
everything that is happening so much of it we talked about 10 years ago uh and the biggest one is
01:48:44.360
there's going to come a day when you don't recognize the country when everything you thought
01:48:50.260
was solid will be liquid and everything liquid will be solid you will not be able to predict it
01:48:55.400
and you will be overwhelmed by the the events of the day i want you to get used to saying this
01:49:02.820
i've never seen this before in my lifetime it is going to get worse and worse and every day
01:49:11.300
you will say that both good and bad let me give you a good from yesterday we didn't even have chance
01:49:18.280
to talk about this we did a podcast a few years a few uh months ago uh with a uh what's his name brown
01:49:27.380
uh he's a futurist and he was talking about crisper and how medicine is going to change overnight
01:49:37.080
and i brought up that you know socialized medicine is a thing of the past and because of technology
01:49:44.180
you're not going to have to worry about all of the high cost of things or going to the doctor
01:49:50.180
because they will be able to um they'll be able to diagnose you from home and you're going to want
01:49:56.600
to have ai over a real doctor so jeff brown said well it's like crisper right now with eyes i said what
01:50:05.220
he said we're about a year away from uh announcing that we can cure blindness well yesterday that test
01:50:12.680
was done on the first patient and what they did is the doctor made a little teeny slit in the um
01:50:19.140
uh in the eye of one patient who has been blind put three drops of you know a crisper made
01:50:28.420
you know some i don't even know how this works but it's it's it it if you knew how it worked you
01:50:34.520
would have invented it already i know i don't even know how it works but the crisper takes and instead
01:50:39.040
of taking uh genes and uh things out of a body and then trying to fix them it just goes in you just
01:50:47.900
put a little bit of this this liquid in and it goes and seeks out the problem in your brain and or in
01:50:55.180
your body and it fixes any of the cells or anything that are broken and it kills the problem and fixes it
01:51:02.920
so they they just put three drops of this stuff in the guy's eye and they believe that in the next
01:51:10.560
few weeks he will have sight that we will have cured in his case one kind of blindness jeff brown
01:51:19.920
was saying we're probably going to cure blindness in the next year or two almost all blindness
01:51:27.120
so i've never seen that before in my life no there's a lot of good things that are happening
01:51:33.440
and it will seem incredible that we ever let it happen yeah right like you know it's like when we
01:51:39.180
everyone looks back at that story of the doctor who was like hey guys you know everyone's dying here
01:51:44.220
and but they're not dying in that other hospital and they're washing their hands over there we're not
01:51:48.820
here what do you think we wash our hands in between surgeries that's crazy cadavers and dealing with
01:51:53.300
the cadavers what do you think and they're like oh that's crazy and we look back at that wouldn't just
01:51:56.540
mock it right how in 10 15 years we're going to look back at the time where these things like
01:52:02.880
blindness or the idea that even a global pandemic could occur may very well seem ridiculous to us
01:52:10.060
kind of like how it you know in a way the spanish flu does right from you know 1918 you're wiping out
01:52:15.340
like huge percentages of the population it doesn't seem possible now in some ways well this would can
01:52:21.680
you imagine how much worse this would be if we didn't have the communication that we have now
01:52:27.260
uh you know we would have had ship after ship plane after plane after plane come in and we'd all be sick
01:52:33.180
before we'd even realize it because we just didn't have the connections that we do today and be able
01:52:38.680
to track things and figure out wait a minute why is everybody getting sick and wait it everybody's
01:52:43.280
getting sick over in china first um it would have been you know witchcraft uh almost compared to where
01:52:49.960
we are today but that's one of the things that i think you really have to understand is we you're
01:52:56.420
seeing things today that you've never seen before on this and i dare i say it pandemic we're not by the
01:53:05.160
way my gut is they're not calling this a pandemic because that triggers all kinds of legal things
01:53:10.600
and nobody wants to make the call on okay well pandemic means this legally and so all the insurance
01:53:20.260
companies and everybody else you're screwed so i think that's why this is not being called a pandemic
01:53:25.700
even though this has met every single uh every single mark for a global pandemic at this point
01:53:33.580
but you're going to see things that you don't understand and you have to put them into context
01:53:38.500
yeah i can contextually is i think where my you know a lot of people's fear is coming from
01:53:43.040
right where you might say okay well we've heard these things before SARS and mirrors and we've heard
01:53:47.780
all of these bird flu and swine flu and you know they're scary and everything but like what are you
01:53:52.680
going to do you normally just kind of step back and say you throw your hands up and you don't worry
01:53:56.840
about it what's interesting about this one i think that's different than all of those
01:54:01.060
is the way governments companies are reacting to it right where first we saw this in china where
01:54:10.400
they're you know they're welding people inside of apartment buildings like we but this is china
01:54:14.580
it's a communist country they shut down a city of how many 11 million people that's really strange
01:54:20.240
but still okay it's china they do really crazy things and they got a little bit of criticism from
01:54:25.640
the SARS thing where they didn't you know clamp down on it fast enough so maybe they're overreacting
01:54:30.200
when you see a country like italy say all of our schools are closed in the entire country
01:54:39.420
that is like that that hits you at a totally different level we're seeing now is a king county
01:54:45.860
in seattle yeah is basically telling everyone in the county now this is this is the king county is
01:54:52.880
the seattle county seattle county yeah you know what don't go anywhere stay inside to 2.2 million
01:54:59.120
people that are being asked by king county that's they're not they're not requiring it right they're
01:55:04.240
just asking they're asking all 2.2 million residents don't leave your house now when's it'll work when
01:55:09.320
is the last time you remember a request like that well i don't remember it being a request the only time
01:55:15.060
i can think of that i heard a city and it wasn't a city that size in america being told do not leave
01:55:22.240
your house was the boston shooters the boston bombing sarnovs yeah the right and why because
01:55:29.700
we had active terrorists driving around the city setting things on fire letting off bombs and
01:55:35.180
shooting people and so and i believe it was actually technically legally still a request uh that but
01:55:41.620
everyone kind of listened because we really don't want to be outside with the terrorists we want the
01:55:45.180
cops to be able to find these guys and they did okay so if you're comparing it to that i can see why
01:55:50.000
you panic and that is normal to panic when it's like that because you're like oh there's something
01:55:55.320
outside that can kill me right right all right so that's not what they're actually doing what they're
01:56:01.680
actually doing is if this that if everybody goes outside and everybody starts to get sick because
01:56:10.040
they're passing it around if you get sick what are you going to do go to the doctors go to the doctor
01:56:15.920
the doctor right now there's nothing the doctor can tell you your average doc can't tell you anything
01:56:22.260
except you know what stay at home stay at home it does i don't think it's the coronavirus but i can't
01:56:28.380
test you for it because we don't have that if it's really bad you know you got to go to the hospital and
01:56:34.020
they can test you for it okay so if you're if you are 60 plus and you're having real problems or if you
01:56:41.660
have you know any kind of complex complications you should go to the hospital call in advance and
01:56:48.800
your doctor will do that well now that you've gone to the doctor if you do have coronavirus
01:56:52.660
you now have risked everyone in the waiting room who is there for another reason plus the nurses plus
01:57:02.320
the doctor and if we're all doing that with our doctors the doctors are getting sick the ambulance
01:57:10.420
drivers are getting sick the the firemen the police all of the people that make all of our health
01:57:16.540
system work are going to get sick all right you can't have them sick and you can't overwhelm the system
01:57:25.060
and so for your long-term protection they're saying there is something out here that will kill us
01:57:32.460
and that is all of our emergency people being overwhelmed and sick so please stay at home
01:57:41.220
it's why they are putting that why these cities are saying you know what let's let's buy an old
01:57:47.860
motel seattle just bought an old motel two of them i think and said we're going to put people in there
01:57:53.720
that we think have the coronavirus we're going to isolate them there why so they're not in the hospital
01:58:00.280
well they should be in the hospital no if they need to be in icu yes unfortunately if they go to
01:58:09.360
the hospital they can get somebody who just is on kidney dialysis sick right because they're also
01:58:15.680
surrounded by everybody else who is in the most vulnerable position to this exactly right virus
01:58:20.100
remember you have a good chance of dying if you have another complication so if you're already in
01:58:26.220
the hospital because of something that is not related to coronavirus if that patient gets it
01:58:32.880
they're going to die so what you're seeing here is the protection of the system and i think that's
01:58:39.800
really important it is it is yeah so you're saying in a way it's almost like they are incentivized to
01:58:46.740
heighten your worry a little bit right because if they if they if they were to downplay it right that
01:58:54.440
would be bad because then people wouldn't care and they wouldn't uh take any precautions but i don't
01:58:59.700
think that they're heightening it at all i think they're telling you the truth nobody is saying oh my
01:59:04.160
gosh there's a killer pandemic out there and we're all gonna die what they're saying is this we need the
01:59:10.400
masks so they they're telling you on one hand they're telling you uh you know the masks don't work
01:59:17.320
well yes they do and how do i know because by the next sentence we need the masks at the hospital
01:59:24.900
okay so if they don't work why do the hospital need them that's good okay but they're what they're
01:59:31.060
saying to you they're using this language because they know a lot of dummies will say well i need that
01:59:38.060
