Would you open up your scriptures for a minute and just look at the book of Isaiah?
00:02:19.040
He saw the hours that would lead into that dark night before the Sabbath.
00:02:43.180
You know, I was singing yesterday about Good Friday.
00:02:47.560
And I was singing, you know, that is as out of place as eggs and Easter Bunny.
00:02:56.200
At the first glance, at first blush, Good Friday has nothing good about it.
00:03:04.180
But if you look at the original, quote, Good Friday, it is a day of pain and humiliation and death.
00:03:13.660
I mean, here's the guy who we now know as the Christus or the anointed one.
00:03:30.980
But when you think of king of kings and the anointed one, the Christus, that sounds like something that you would want.
00:03:39.800
I mean, that would be like, hey, who wants to be the anointed one?
00:03:45.120
And then, like, okay, here's what you need to do.
00:03:53.160
Once you know the price, it's something that none of us would want, none of us would do, none of us could do.
00:04:17.580
And it's how I understand the sacrifice of Jesus, because my mother sacrificed everything to give me one last Christmas present before she died.
00:04:30.340
And I realized how poor we were on that Christmas.
00:04:34.580
And for a long time, that sweater haunted me, because I understood what it meant to her, and she noticed that it didn't mean anything to me.
00:04:46.680
And I carried that guilt around with me for a long time, and I couldn't get past it.
00:04:54.280
It's weird how many times, how many, what he did for us, and how many times we still just reject it.
00:05:12.880
I love the Messiah, but it's not a Christmas thing.
00:05:15.520
I mean, part of it is a Christmas thing, but the Hallelujah Chorus isn't Christmas.
00:05:31.340
If you look at Isaiah and chapter 53, open up your scriptures, chapter 53.
00:05:39.620
We sing this, thanks to Handel, every Christmas, but it.
00:05:46.280
And we, like sheep, have gone astray, and we've each turned his own way.
00:05:58.080
And that's what makes Good Friday so incomprehensible to me.
00:06:32.180
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground.
00:06:40.740
And when we see him, there's no beauty that we should desire him.
00:06:44.660
I mean, this is, who's signing up for this job?
00:06:47.660
This is a picture of a little fragile shoot that begins to bud.
00:06:52.760
It's grown off the edge of a stump that's cut right to the ground.
00:06:59.980
There's this tiny little tender sprout that could so easily just break away and die.
00:07:06.620
And to make it even worse, the stump with its tender shoot is located in a dry desert.
00:07:13.380
The chances of surviving the burning heat, the scorching new day sun, no soil, no water.
00:07:25.540
He's the opposite of the majestic oak that everybody's like, we cannot cut down that historic oak
00:07:33.200
that has provided shade for our family for generations to come.
00:07:47.640
And yet, when we look at it, we still don't see any beauty.
00:07:52.620
It's not there because it doesn't conform to what the world says is beautiful or desirous.
00:08:02.860
Isaiah says he's despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
00:08:19.240
It's easy to look at the people back then and go, yeah, look, they despised him.
00:08:40.720
But think about those people that we pass every day.
00:08:50.760
They're people of suffering, familiar with pain.
00:09:10.460
I really want to point out why Good Friday is good.
00:09:20.500
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.
00:09:45.840
If you were back in that time, is this a punishment from God?
00:10:32.100
The people who are suffering right now in our own neighborhood.
00:11:07.600
I think about things that I've done in the past.
00:13:02.180
It's easier for me to forgive you for something.
00:13:56.780
If you are having struggles in your life right now.
00:14:05.840
If you are feeling that you are under this dark cloud.
00:14:09.340
You are listening to this broadcast for a reason.
00:14:37.180
And I wish I could tell you the very next day was different.
00:14:40.220
But today is 10 years ago was 20 years ago was this happened to me 20 years ago.
00:14:55.700
And it all revolves around what happened today and Sunday.
00:15:31.860
And it is beyond what no matter what you think, no matter how far down you are, it is more powerful than that.
00:15:38.440
It has power beyond your need and it will heal.
00:15:43.860
It will change your life because you're worthy.
00:16:18.600
The best news I could give you today is this too shall pass.
00:16:53.220
By the way, did you see gold went up again yesterday because of what the because what the Fed did?
00:17:00.300
Well, I'll tell you about the Fed here in a minute.
00:17:14.300
You know, I had Jesus in my heart, you know, I had Jesus in my heart there for a second and Jesus has fled.
00:17:29.040
To Covis is a is a company that built by two guys here in America.
00:17:39.540
But they were you know, they look at the price of cowboy boots.
00:17:44.360
If you want really good cowboy boots, really expensive.
00:17:47.320
Well, that's because the real ones are made by hand.
00:17:52.540
Well, they found the way to be able to make these boots, make them in the traditional way, make them with 200 handmade steps and sell them to you directly.
00:18:04.480
And so they're half the price of what a real Western boot is.
00:18:14.620
When you have a pair of these on your feet, man, it's a statement to you.
00:18:20.900
You're a person of integrity made from the finest leathers.
00:18:25.300
You can to find your pair at to Covis T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash back.
00:18:31.400
That's to Covis dot com to Covis Western goods for your frontier.
00:19:04.200
Did that did did any of the stuff that I just say make it on the air, Stu?
00:19:10.880
However, we're on having a significant delay issue with you at this moment.
00:19:14.440
So our crosstalk is going to be a little challenging.
00:19:21.280
Could everybody please just stop talking or using the Internet?
00:19:29.240
We're trying to do a broadcast here for the love of Pete.
00:19:36.320
This is going to be interesting with such a long delay to be able to hear the tones and everything else and and get this right.
00:19:52.260
I took a really bad song from the 80s and jammed it in.
00:19:56.800
I got a an email and I got we have to go through some of the emails because some of the emails are really, really, really good.
00:20:03.220
Let me just give you one here from somebody who ordered the book.
00:20:06.480
Glenn, I preordered your book, Arguing with Socialists, from Audible.
00:20:10.520
And I was I was kind of disappointed at first with my decision to go with the audio book, because when I saw the book,
00:20:16.580
I realized I'm missing out on all the extras until I started listening to it today.
00:20:22.380
I just have to say that I'm on chapter two and I had to pause to write to you because it's one of the best books I have read already.
00:20:30.560
The book is full of so much information and your little pop ins and 80D moments.
00:20:47.400
I'm so glad we're getting really, really good reviews on this book.
00:20:52.400
And it's a very, very important book right now because we are being slammed by socialists.
00:21:04.060
Grab it today or tomorrow, if you wouldn't mind.
00:21:08.140
Pick it up wherever you get your books, Amazon, or if you find a bookstore that is open.
00:21:35.420
I mean, what I mean is the end of the crisis is coming soon.
00:21:39.420
I'll give you some news on that here in a second.
00:21:42.600
But if you're trying to sell your house right now, you've probably pulled maybe half your
00:21:54.340
Lots of states and counties and towns in them are still largely business as usual, especially
00:22:00.240
when it comes to things like buying and selling homes.
00:22:05.200
There is the worst thing we could do is panic if you need to sell your house or you need
00:22:13.880
The people that can really help you are real estate agents.
00:22:18.940
This is a company that I started about five years ago, and they are.
00:22:24.180
They are the best agents, we believe, in your area.
00:22:27.880
And we are there with you the whole time to make sure everything goes smoothly.
00:22:31.820
It's going to be the best experience of buying or selling a house you've ever had.
00:22:34.800
It's realestateagentsitrust.com, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:22:40.560
Glenn Beck's Arguing of Socialists in bookstores now.
00:22:43.220
You can buy it online, amazon.com or glennbeck.com.
00:23:05.360
We've just got this special little person with us today.
00:23:37.400
I'm just I can't I can't take the fact that there I mean, people like Ezekiel Emmanuel are
00:23:44.600
pushing us to do 18 more months of this, and I we can't last 18 more days with this
00:23:56.340
I just want to turn back the engine, turn it back on and and let's let the chips fall.
00:24:13.420
I will tell you that we can't continue to go on this way.
00:24:22.400
And I know, look, we're in the age of, you know, non believing.
00:24:27.360
We're in the age of of trouble and, you know, would have a good chance of dying if we would
00:24:34.440
all go back to work if it, you know, it started roaring back in and we're going it's it's
00:24:43.160
It's going to come back until we have a vaccine.
00:24:52.780
Or are we going to we going to save something so our children have something in the end?
00:25:01.880
I mean, if we have to if we have to dress in hazmat suits to go to work, then let's do
00:25:11.980
And and I think the president is doing exactly the right thing in continually encouraging that
00:25:21.380
You can't just say, OK, yeah, we're fine for a while.
00:25:24.220
We're just going to we're not going to maybe in September we get back to work.
00:25:44.820
Well, it is the state's responsibility, not the federal government.
00:25:52.060
It's another taking of another constitutional parameter and throwing it across the the road.
00:26:06.240
How great was Christy Noem, the South Dakota governor yesterday or the day before, whatever
00:26:14.080
I mean, I fell head over heels in love with her over that.
00:26:26.080
You know, if I call myself, I can get pretty much anybody on the phone.
00:26:29.800
I called her yesterday and we've been calling for weeks.
00:26:37.440
So I finally said, let me call because, you know, I can't get to the president, but I can
00:26:42.620
get to the president's secretary right outside of the Oval Office.
00:26:48.840
And so so I call her up and they said, who is this?
00:27:05.540
OK, well, she's probably not going to call back.
00:27:08.640
And at one point I was I wanted to say it's South Dakota.
00:27:16.880
I just want to talk to her for a second and invite her on the show.
00:27:31.560
I'm beginning to think because then they called back and they were like, Mr. Beck, I just got
00:27:38.500
What is it you want to talk to the governor about?
00:27:41.520
I'm like, OK, I just I really I wanted to say good job.
00:27:48.620
I wanted to give her an opportunity to be on the show.
00:27:52.360
Well, she's very doing what I want to know doing what.
00:27:59.960
This is a good way to get her on the show, by the way.
00:28:07.540
I mean, Pat, I fell in love with her when I saw her, the way she's handling this thing,
00:28:11.760
the way she's talking about the Constitution of her state.
00:28:22.980
It was a really good lesson for us because we don't hear that anymore.
00:28:29.280
We don't hear that kind of talk, especially if there's anything going wrong.
00:28:32.340
Well, we've got to we've got to bend the rules a little bit right now.
00:28:36.140
We've got to set fire to part of the Constitution right now.
00:28:43.320
She's she's talking personal responsibility and our freedom.
00:28:47.640
And this is this is where America has got to get back to.
00:28:52.620
We have got to get back to, look, I understand that this could be detrimental to my health,
00:29:04.960
If you choose to come back into work, come back into work.
00:29:09.920
We're going to do all of the safety procedures.
00:29:16.360
All of us know that there's a chance that things could go awry.
00:29:25.580
I don't think we'll last another 18 minutes at times.
00:29:29.120
I mean, we have got to open this thing back up.
00:29:34.220
President Trump has the best gut on anyone I've ever seen.
00:29:45.980
And when he said, you know, I'd like to shoot for Easter.
00:29:51.600
If we opened up next Monday, we would roar back to life.
00:29:57.700
The longer it gets farther from Easter, the harder it's going to be.
00:30:01.580
And look at look at his gut on, you know, he's not a doctor.
00:30:19.940
The numbers of hospitalizations are going down.
00:30:24.880
But the numbers of hospitalizations are going down.
00:30:28.580
So we're going to turn the corner here soon, I think.
00:30:45.700
I mean, you know, 18 days is another story, I think.
00:30:49.440
The numbers are promising in places like New York.
00:30:59.020
Obviously, like we've the last three days have been the highest days.
00:31:02.440
I mean, for the last three days, coronavirus is the number one killer in America.
00:31:09.100
However, that being said, like, if we can get past this to a point, right, where it seems
00:31:16.180
like tomorrow you could turn on South Dakota and Wyoming.
00:31:20.080
And there's no reason why this has to be this type of approach where we're where we're all
00:31:27.120
And I think, look, it's not Trump doesn't have the power to say, hey, you guys all need
00:31:33.380
He's given recommendations to limit gatherings to less than 10, to social distance, to stay
00:31:43.800
And I think in the coming weeks, you'll start seeing that from states that are not having
00:31:48.400
And then once that happens, they're just going to have to monitor it really closely.
00:31:54.340
I mean, if we can get that place to the place where we have a test that is done in 15 minutes,
00:31:58.180
that's been promised for the last couple of weeks.
00:32:00.560
Apparently, when you have that, you can really start looking at this and monitoring.
00:32:03.820
If something does happen, a breakout happens, you can just handle that rather than saying
00:32:09.400
everybody in the nation can't do anything because there's a breakout in this city.
00:32:16.480
By the way, that's even the Imperial College model specifically says it shouldn't be handled
00:32:27.840
It actually mentions by the state in the U.S. and that those policies will be far more efficient.
00:32:34.120
Like so I can understand like what we've done so far because we didn't know.
00:32:38.560
We don't know where this is going and we want to be careful and we need to have tests.
00:32:42.980
We need to make sure we're buying ourselves a little time here.
00:32:45.880
The cost has been very large for buying that time.
00:32:49.680
But this is a this is a point where we can open up certainly areas that aren't having issues.
00:32:54.360
You know, I mean, the fact that somebody is sitting in the middle of a field
00:32:57.640
in Idaho and, you know, is wondering why they can't go to work is ridiculous.
00:33:05.540
So here's the here's the thing that I think Nancy Pelosi really is.
00:33:13.140
They're just killing themselves right now because Americans want to go back to work.
00:33:17.720
Americans know what is at stake and it's their jobs.
00:33:20.620
Nancy Pelosi came out yesterday and said she's not going to call Congress back from recess
00:33:27.940
And beyond that, she says that there is no data to support the influx of emergency cash.
00:33:36.420
There's no data that the small businesses of America need additional funding.
00:33:51.400
There's no there's no data to close the entire country down, but we're doing it.
00:33:57.060
And if you think there's no data, you are so out of touch with Main Street America.
00:34:03.800
We've lost 10 percent of the workforce in three weeks.
00:34:09.660
Do you think the banks are suffering right now?
00:34:18.660
Most people have not received a dime yet from the government.
00:34:22.520
And there's a story in the Atlantic that you have to you have to watch out for.
00:34:27.940
The I think it's Denmark has decided to pay 70 percent of all salaries.
00:34:35.180
So 70 or 75 percent of all salaries going to be paid no matter how much for the next.
00:34:45.860
And they'll pay 70, 70 or 75 percent of all salaries for everybody just for the next.
00:35:00.100
And this is being touted now as long as they're close and as long as they're struggling.
00:35:06.560
And this is being touted now as maybe a bad idea for a small country like Denmark.
00:35:13.120
But for a country like America, yeah, something we really should consider for.
00:35:21.420
No, because because if we have to cut down every tree in the world, all three trillion of them just to manufacture enough paper to get the cash printed.
00:35:32.520
We're only limited by the amount of trees on this planet.
00:35:40.820
So somebody was telling me yesterday they they saw a study of how long it would take us to print the money we've just spent.
00:35:48.720
We wouldn't be able to print this money until next year.
00:35:53.940
We would still be printing the money that we just spent.
00:36:00.380
There's no way physically to print this amount of money that we have just spent.
00:36:10.820
Right now, Americans are in the fight for their lives.
00:36:22.280
Most of us are sticking together as family because that's what we are.
00:36:28.320
We might fight like siblings sometime, but we are family and I will fight for your right to be wrong.
00:36:34.000
I will fight for your right to have a difference of opinion because that's what family does.
00:36:40.640
Well, nearly a decade ago, Patriot Mobile was founded by freedom loving Americans, some vets, and they really built this company based on the values of the Constitution.
00:36:53.280
They support pro-life measures, Second Amendment, religious freedom causes, and they take a portion of their profits and they donate it.
00:37:03.000
So every phone call that you make actually is going to support the things you believe in, which is the exact opposite of all of these other phone companies.
00:37:13.660
They're funding anti-Second Amendment stuff, anti-free speech stuff.
00:37:23.320
We've got to stop funding these things every phone call we make.
00:37:30.360
Patriot Mobile, you're going to get the same great service.
00:37:32.800
In fact, the service people, the personnel are all Americans and they're great and you're going to have better service on that.
00:37:46.480
If you open a new line of service, plans start as low as $25 with an unlimited plan for only $55.

Arguing with Socialists, the new book from Glenn Beck.
00:38:11.520
Get it now on Amazon or wherever books are sold.
00:38:28.300
I asked him to watch the Tiger King and he did.
00:38:34.580
And I know because he has already spoken about it and he found no redeeming value in that at all.
00:38:44.900
I wonder, I mean, what does Bill do for fun, do you suppose?
00:38:55.380
I think today our goal is to get him to discuss fun like that, too.
00:39:16.320
Maybe the one question that will stump him just might be.
00:39:20.200
So we'll we'll go to Bill O'Reilly, get his take on the news of the week, where we are as a nation of this crazy socialist push to keep us closed.
00:39:30.880
And to I mean, it's crazy to think closed for for 18 months.
00:40:00.860
Start strong with that feeling of confidence and comfort that only comes with a real high quality pair of Western boots.
00:40:07.840
Even if you've never worn cowboy boots before, Decovis has the perfect pair for you.
00:40:16.640
There is a part of you that's cowboy, honorable in your daily dealings, authentic in the way we live, committed to the ideals that built the greatness that is America.
00:40:25.280
And every pair is handmade with high quality, full grain leathers by world class boot makers with no shortcuts or compromises ever.
00:40:32.440
The styles are classic and handsome up any room they're in.
00:40:35.180
And when you wear your Decovis, I mean, you shouldn't kick down any doors, but it's good to know that you probably could.
00:40:40.200
Decovis, they haven't forgotten about middle America.
00:40:45.960
Plus, free shipping and exchanges makes it simple.
00:41:04.940
Well, America, it's Friday, which means Mr. Bill O'Reilly is next in one minute.
00:41:15.480
Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there is a man leaning over a work table using a small knife just to whittle at that chunk of wood and bring out the shape of that toy that hides inside.
00:41:28.580
He whistles softly to himself, old but nimble fingers, communing with the very art form itself as they dance mere feet away from the ironic sign that hangs in his toy shops has never worked a day in my life.
00:41:41.200
Sure, maybe there's a few that worked harder, but when you love something you do, it's not hard to say it's not really work and have a sense of integrity.
00:41:52.440
Beneath his table, the old man's feet tap to the tune he's whistling and they tap in comfort.
00:41:58.240
They tap in style because his feet are clad in a pair of Decovis boots.
00:42:02.280
They tap with the same kind of integrity that he has himself, made with the finest leathers, made by hand, no less.
00:42:15.760
He smiles looking down at the very opening phase of his creation.
00:42:46.460
Yes, I heard the words humility and jocularity.
00:42:52.060
I really appreciate that kind of an intro, Beck.
00:42:56.200
No, that's what that's not what I fun in frivolity.
00:42:59.940
Not two words that I think of with when I think of Bill O'Reilly.
00:43:15.580
So, Bill, I read your review of the Tiger King, but I want you to give it here on the air at some point.
00:43:23.920
So, we can either start there or whatever you think is newsworthy today.
00:43:39.920
What is America's fascination with the low-rent district?
00:43:47.660
I mean, why are we watching The Real Housewives of...
00:44:04.100
We look at social media and everybody's posting these beautiful lives and everything else.
00:44:11.680
Then we watch the Tiger King and we're like, oh, we're better than everybody in this show.
00:44:25.680
But, you know, how many tattoos can we see in one program?
00:44:36.560
Bill O'Reilly, what are the big stories of the week?
00:44:44.120
And again, this always goes back to the same thing.
00:44:48.600
Between the far left, which lost their leader, Bernie Sanders, this week, and trying to destroy the American system.
00:45:01.760
It is for the New York Times, Washington Post, the media.
00:45:04.780
It's almost exclusively a hate Trump thing there.
00:45:07.600
But for the far left, the George Soros cadres, it's about really destroying and then remaking America.
00:45:15.660
And they're trying to find a way to do that within the pandemic.
00:45:21.500
So if they can destroy the capitalist economy, which in the short term is being badly battered, as everyone knows.
00:45:31.340
But if they can really damage it in a long-term way, it's going to be a lot easier for the next Bernie Sanders to get this socialism into the system.
00:45:42.680
So I think that's the emerging story that most people are not aware of.
00:45:48.040
I will tell you, Bill, that I'm really I'm really disgusted by so many people and how they are using this pandemic to try to, as you said, destroy America.
00:46:03.280
You you have people now talking about 18 months of quarantine.
00:46:07.960
There is absolutely no way on God's green earth any country can survive 18 months of quarantine.
00:46:18.500
And they're doing it because this is the fastest road to socialism.
00:46:26.180
This is the thing that I've worried about and warned about for so long.
00:46:33.700
And, you know, you and I are simpatico or the day for Stu on this.
00:46:41.240
So there is a powerful segment, well funded, that has co-opted some in the media to get the message out that our health care system is evil, which is, of course, isn't true.
00:46:55.160
If you look at deaths per million of population, we're far below all the socialized.
00:47:10.220
Everything that socialized medicine stands for Italy and Spain are collapsing.
00:47:18.880
And the other thing is that the speculation and I keep telling my listeners and my viewers, why are you watching these cable news programs and network news programs?
00:47:31.880
When all you're getting is speculation, just as you said, well, we're going to be quarantined for 18 months.
00:47:37.640
Do you know and do your listeners know that on Monday, the day after Easter, Austria is sending its children back to school?
00:47:54.580
Would you see that most people don't know that?
00:48:00.000
So, Austria, just north of Italy, sharing a border with Italy, okay, is saying, all right, we believe we have this thing contained.
00:48:10.480
We're sending the kids back to school and we're opening the shops.
00:48:14.440
So, if you want to get a little chocolate on Monday in Austria, you can.
00:48:24.200
Same virus, okay, same transmission in Austria as in the United States.
00:48:30.000
But nobody reports this because it doesn't fit in to the wall of doom mosaic.
00:48:40.020
I have to tell you, Bill, I think it's actually worse than just not reporting on things.
00:48:45.120
For instance, the governor of South Dakota, I'm sure you've seen her talks that she's been giving on the Constitution and, you know, how she's not going to violate the Constitution for this.
00:48:58.600
There are about five governors in the country that are refusing to go along with any of this nonsense.
00:49:12.620
Because this pandemic offers the opportunity to remove Trump.
00:49:20.660
So, if he doesn't get a handle on it by summer, then the odds are that he would lose.
00:49:37.620
And the rationale is, well, we'll give the other side a chance.
00:49:41.000
If the kids can't go back to school by September, oh, my God, the Trump administration's in trouble.
00:49:47.440
If there are just millions and millions of workers who can't pay their bills, my God.
00:49:52.020
So, they're rooting, they're rooting to get Trump out.
00:49:56.540
If you could lie detector, Beck, if you could lie detector the media, the national media, and ask him a very simple question, because I am a very simple man.
00:50:06.040
Which is worse, the pandemic or four more years of Trump?
00:50:18.220
You have those people, and this is the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC News, CNN, that are going to spin everything about the pandemic as Trump's fault, and it's a wall of doom.
00:50:29.320
And then you have the other people that we just cited, the Soros socialist people, that are saying, okay, now we can suspend all civil liberties.
00:50:43.680
Now we can do all this under the guise of protecting Americans.
00:50:50.700
And, you know, it's the Reichstag fire on steroids.
00:50:58.800
But that's what this is if you know your history.
00:51:01.560
And so those of us who love our country, who admire the nobility of it and the opportunity that it affords hardworking and honest people, I'm appalled at what's going on.
00:51:15.600
But I'm also appalled that American consumers continue to go in and watch this garbage.
00:51:23.840
And the final thing, and this is self-serving, and I'm sorry, I have had millions of views.
00:51:29.520
I don't know whether you saw the New York Post this week.
00:51:45.560
I just give you the facts as far as we can ascertain them.
00:51:50.020
But that's not what's happening in the media in America.
00:51:55.160
People are acting crazy in some cases because of all this garbage.
00:52:02.920
There are the ones that are buying into this snitch on your neighbor kind of thing.
00:52:08.380
And I want the government to tell me everything and what to do.
00:52:12.320
And then the rest of America, which is, this is ridiculous.
00:52:17.200
I actually think, Bill, that this, this pandemic is real and it is dangerous.
00:52:24.200
But I think the way we've handled it by shutting everything down and going, you know, as you say, Reichstag fire.
00:52:33.720
And in some places, really very totalitarian, where you're sending police door to door.
00:52:43.840
This is exactly what happened under Woodrow Wilson, as you know, when he sent out his stormtroopers.
00:52:50.620
We had a quarter of a million people that had badges and they were working for the Justice Department.
00:52:56.580
And they were to open your neighbor's mail, listen to your neighbor on the phone, find out who our enemies are that don't want this war.
00:53:04.240
And they arrested one hundred and forty five thousand Americans in about a two year period.
00:53:10.400
It was disgraceful. And it it sent the left packing because regular Americans saw what this was turning into and went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:53:21.520
This is not who we are. And that might happen this time.
00:53:24.780
I mean, this could very, very well backfire. And you saw him blow up.
00:53:31.480
You saw him blow up. I mean, this maniac screaming that we can't have a private health care system here.
00:53:38.480
And the stats are right in front of you, right in front of you.
00:53:41.800
You can see how much more effective, as you just pointed out, our health care system is than that in Europe.
00:53:48.380
You can see it. Yet this maniac, Sanders, still won't concede still, because that's a way to control the population through their health care.
00:53:58.780
All right. If you're dependent on the government for your health, you've got to do what your government tells you to do.
00:54:03.920
But getting back to the pandemic, I mean, we have people I was walking the terror dog, Holly, the terror dog, who has three million Twitter followers, if you can believe it.
00:54:12.340
So I'm walking Holly, the terror dog. And then across the street, there's a lady with a mask walking some doxling or something.
00:54:22.020
So I'm about 12 feet away, not six. I'm fine. I don't have a mask other than when I rob a 7-Eleven.
00:54:28.520
I do use the mask for that. But I say to her, madam, how are you? I'm fine.
00:54:34.280
And then I hear a muffled. All right. And I go, can I ask you just a question?
00:54:39.820
And what what is that protecting you from in the open air on a lane where there's no other people?
00:54:47.820
And it was like silence. What is it protecting you from?
00:54:52.340
And of course, the lady doesn't know. And the lady is so scared to death that she feels she has to wear a mask to walk the doxling when there's nobody around.
00:55:01.420
But if you say that, you're going to be crucified unless you say this is a vicious disease.
00:55:09.160
And it is because nobody knows how it spreads. It's not defined. No one knows.
00:55:15.480
I have people who've gotten this thing. They have no blanking clue how they got it.
00:55:19.860
They stay inside. They did what they could. They spray themselves with Lysol all day long.
00:55:24.040
And they still get it. They still get it. So this is that's fear when you don't know.
00:55:31.120
All right. When it's going to hit you or why. That's fear. So we have to take that.
00:55:36.880
But here's the headline for the Glenn Beck program on Good Friday. Are you ready?
00:55:42.060
Yes. The Disney Corporation, which controls most of America.
00:55:47.320
People don't know that. But the most powerful entity in America is in the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.
00:55:53.880
It's the Disney Corporation. They signal this week what's going to happen.
00:56:00.160
Iger, on his way out with what, three billion dollars, said, you know what we're going to do?
00:56:07.300
We're going to take everybody's temperature that comes to our park.
00:56:11.040
So when you go to Disney World or Disneyland, you're going to buy your ticket and then there'll be a guy just like there is with the airlines checking your bags and you with a little thermometer thing.
00:56:24.060
And if you have a fever, you can't come in. If you don't, they'll let you in.
00:56:29.760
That's going to be everywhere, everywhere, even your local restaurant.
00:56:34.500
Yeah. Microsoft. Microsoft has already developed something that will set off alarms.
00:56:40.000
If you it just will scan you as you walk in through the door, just like a camera and it'll scan you.
00:56:48.480
They've also developed something where if you're not wearing a mask, it will set off an alarm.
00:56:57.560
Yeah. We're going to open our parks and this is what's going to be.
00:57:00.220
The problem is you pay so much money for your ticket at Disney, that'll give you a fever.
00:57:06.620
You're paying so much money, it's $2,000 to get in.
00:57:13.260
All right. Bill O'Reilly, in just a minute, we'll continue with him.
00:57:17.080
Let me tell you about Goldline. Gold has just gone up again.
00:57:20.600
Prices have spiked because the Federal Reserve continues to throw more money into the financial system.
00:57:27.580
They just yesterday said they're going to provide up to $2.3 trillion in loans for all businesses impact by the growing COVID-19 pandemic.
00:57:39.520
I don't know if this is small businesses or what.
00:57:44.480
The Federal Reserve is that we literally, literally could not print this money fast enough.
00:57:53.160
If we actually had to print it, just what we spent in the first bill, it would take us until next year to put that on the presses and get it out.
00:58:02.700
That's how much money we are actually digitally printing right now.
00:58:07.420
They just said another two and a half trillion dollars.
00:58:16.500
Because the full faith in the U.S. government to be able to say that that dollar is worth something is is is is fading quickly with anyone who has any kind of sense of history and economics.
00:58:33.140
Please, I've been urging you for a long time, please call gold line now.
00:58:43.960
In my lifetime, and I think sooner rather than later, the U.S. dollar is non-existent as we know it.
00:58:54.460
This has been the Rubicon that I think we've crossed.
00:58:59.920
Gold line at gold line dot com gold line dot com.
00:59:03.660
They're waiting for your phone call now at one eight six six gold line one eight six six gold line.
00:59:13.960
Bill O'Reilly, what are your thoughts on Nancy Pelosi saying that there is no data that says that the small businesses in America need more money?
00:59:57.200
And then you get the same level of comprehension from Nancy Pelosi.
01:00:01.100
All she wants to do is use this pandemic to jack up government spending to provide entitlements to her constituents.
01:00:20.980
She leads the movement of we are going to be a socialist country.
01:00:27.220
Meanwhile, she lives in a palace surrounded by walls so she doesn't have to see the homeless people that are camped out in her district because they're addicted to substance, which she won't even acknowledge.
01:00:38.740
So when I hear the words Nancy Pelosi, I basically say, why are we even discussing this woman?
01:01:04.240
But he went out on the street and he asked people, which would you rather have?
01:01:11.680
A lot of people die from this or Donald Trump another four years.
01:01:16.760
And the number of people on the street that say there's no number of deaths that would be worse than Donald Trump for the next four years is remarkable, is remarkable.
01:01:31.360
That's exactly attributed to the media, isn't it?
01:01:37.100
I mean, look, I wrote the book, The United States of Trump.
01:01:48.700
But you're telling the people he should die so he doesn't serve anymore.
01:01:55.520
I mean, this is the extent of the hysteria that's gripped our country.
01:02:09.380
And of course, you should subscribe at BillOReilly.com.
01:02:23.340
We all have to stick together in this big old mess.
01:02:25.840
You know, now is the time of loving your neighbor as yourself, even if you have to do it from at least six feet away.
01:02:32.700
And you're seeing this attitude crop up now in a lot of places.
01:02:36.340
If you notice, a lot of restaurants aren't charging delivery fees right now.
01:02:40.160
A lot of people are going to their local restaurant just to get take out, even though they don't necessarily need it.
01:02:46.520
They're just doing it to support Norton is part of our community and Norton has been protecting us online forever.
01:02:54.200
And right now they're giving away six months of Norton family for free.
01:03:00.180
They're doing it because they know we're all sitting here.
01:03:09.400
And this will help monitor your kids online activities, block Internet sites that they don't need to see.
01:03:15.280
Check on the Web sites, the search terms, the videos, everything that they're downloading.
01:03:19.540
It helps you see in to what is happening in your family.
01:03:25.880
You don't have to have any payment information.
01:03:32.000
They know when you can afford it, you'll buy it.

You can use the promo code Glenn and you get the biggest savings we've ever had.
01:03:54.100
It is Friday, which means Mr. Bill O'Reilly is with us.
01:03:57.140
I want to play a little bit of this Ami Horowitz man on the street encounter where he's asking people, you know, which which is worse?
01:04:05.280
A lot of people dying or or Donald Trump in office another four years.
01:04:12.400
We know the president is not exactly popular here, but how unpopular is he?
01:04:22.880
Would you go for this deal that the coronavirus lasts longer and is more severe, but the president guarantees to lose the election?
01:05:08.600
But he's more dangerous to American people than he is.
01:05:11.160
He's more dangerous to the American people than coronavirus.
01:05:20.380
Is there a number where you say, okay, I wouldn't make that deal, like a million deaths?
01:05:36.200
Well, I mean, you're talking to people who aren't rational.
01:05:42.360
And if you were to ask the follow-up, well, what is the one thing about Trump that justifies
01:05:47.820
your opinion that other people should die so that he doesn't continue to serve?
01:05:58.480
If you step back and you look at what Trump has done in his time in the Oval Office, he hasn't
01:06:11.340
He's governed in a very circumspect, traditional way.
01:06:18.420
Now, you may not agree with his policies and his bomb.
01:06:40.940
Radical is the government is going to take all your guns.
01:06:47.240
Or the government is going to tell you how much money you can make every hour.
01:06:53.380
You know, Bill, I have to tell you, one of the things that I said during the campaign
01:06:59.500
is, I believe I even said that we would hit a depression in the fourth year of Donald Trump.
01:07:07.860
Right before the election, we would go into a depression.
01:07:10.220
And this guy would make FDR look like a rookie.
01:07:19.240
This is the last thing that was a fear of mine on Donald Trump.
01:07:25.540
And the way he has handled this is not the way of FDR.
01:07:30.600
Yes, he's got big spending out there, but he shut the economy off.
01:07:35.680
And he knows he had to spend that money, but he has not taken any federal control.
01:07:42.580
He has not taken the Constitution and turned it upside down.
01:07:46.560
It's everything that they said he was going to become.
01:07:50.360
And I feared he might in this kind of a circumstance.
01:07:59.260
The executive orders that he issues are 80 percent upheld by the federal courts.
01:08:09.960
So the things that he's doing are well within the Constitution, and they're not radical right or left.
01:08:18.020
Obama was a much more radical president than Donald Trump.
01:08:20.980
So we go back to what are these people objecting to?
01:08:25.720
What is the problem with a president that you would say, I'm OK with people who are dying so that he doesn't continue to serve?
01:08:41.000
What happens, Bill, if one of my people who are in the Lion King or the Tiger thing, whatever?
01:08:54.760
What happens if one of my fears is that there will be a bad scene on the border because Mexico system will collapse if they did nothing to quarantine and it will collapse and they will pour over our border to get our our health care.
01:09:15.500
It wasn't widely reported, but they already moved many, many troops down there and they're going to just seal it out and you can only enter through the ports of entry in vehicles.
01:09:28.500
So the Trump administration already knows that's going to happen.
01:09:32.320
They're out in front of it and the army is going to handle it, not the civil authorities.
01:09:38.660
And the press, of course, will go crazy on that.
01:09:43.920
But I think the American people will see that as people.
01:09:53.560
I asked you last week to watch the Tiger King and you are the last person in the country that probably has watched it.
01:10:00.840
And the last person in the country that would watch it.
01:10:09.880
So on this weekend, I want you to appreciate that.
01:10:13.880
Jesus laid his life down and and you who watched the Tiger King.
01:10:19.540
I thought it was the Lion King, but then I can tell the difference in a lion and a tiger.
01:10:28.320
So, number one, I like people with teeth so that a lot of people, I was frightened because they didn't have any teeth.
01:10:40.620
And I remember when I was a kid, I had braces and I suffered so I could have nice teeth and they don't have any teeth.
01:10:49.400
So, my question was, are there no dentists in Texas or Oklahoma, wherever he was?
01:10:56.800
See, that's, you know, that's it's really interesting because my thought was maybe they were all British.
01:11:08.500
I don't have any teeth because the Tigers have teeth, but the humans don't.
01:11:15.200
Tigers aren't smoking crack, I think, is probably why.
01:11:37.760
They put strange guys and strange guys chase regular guys all over.
01:12:09.760
Because he looks like, you know, he just got out of San Quentin, which has the show
01:12:24.400
I feel more comforted that he's not going to come to my house with Tiger.
01:12:30.000
But then as I watch it, there's a woman and a woman doesn't like this guy.
01:12:35.740
And then there's a South Carolina guy who doesn't like either of them.
01:12:40.400
And then I'm going, gee, I miss Major League Baseball.
01:13:02.300
So, so the, the, the first one, which one were you more afraid of?
01:13:11.140
Which one did you think was the bigger of the freak shows?
01:13:28.860
Oh, they just had the sheriff on of Hillsborough County.
01:13:33.360
Anybody who has any clues, uh, because he's absolutely convinced it was murder.
01:13:39.300
He's not saying she did it, but somebody murdered him.
01:13:48.580
And then you'd bring a lot of shovels because he's deep somewhere.
01:14:00.620
The other guy in South Carolina, I don't know what he's doing, but this woman, I mean, you
01:14:05.060
know, I, this is, uh, you know, when I'm asleep, I would fear her.
01:14:10.080
I have a feeling she'll take that as a badge of honor, uh, Bill O'Reilly.
01:14:20.640
We're going to ask Bill to define what fun is and how he has fun.
01:14:26.980
Uh, we're not sure that, Hey, happy Easter, Bill.
01:14:36.880
Oh, that was just, that's, that's just worth the price of admission.
01:14:41.160
That's worth being his friend for all these years just to force him to watch the Tiger
01:14:50.260
Can you imagine Bill O'Reilly in his home with his dog watching the Tiger King?
01:14:55.260
Can you imagine the conversation between him and his dog?
01:14:59.060
Uh, no, I, it seems very, very difficult to understand how that would go.
01:15:05.300
I understand why he's not going to watch more of it, but I, I wish he would.
01:15:08.820
I would like to hear his entire expansive theory on this, on this universe.
01:15:14.040
If he took it seriously, can you imagine how big the audience would be to hear Bill O'Reilly
01:15:30.720
Uh, you know, a, uh, watch, uh, each episode and then review, uh, each episode.
01:15:38.300
I joined billoreilly.com for that, for that alone.
01:15:50.900
And they've crossed that with the kind of passion and ingenuity needed to take a product
01:15:56.600
way above what the mirror, you know, normal manufacturing call of duty is.
01:16:02.880
Rec tech grills are, uh, I don't want to mention other products, but I know my father-in-law
01:16:13.440
And I'm telling you, Vinny, when you come down, you'll see the difference.
01:16:17.480
Uh, you're going to, you'll spend just as much money, if not more on one of these really
01:16:29.520
And the reason why is they cut the middleman out.
01:16:32.780
And so they can put that money into the product and they are fantastic.
01:16:38.020
I don't, I don't know how to smoke and I would have never bought a smoker cause I'm not somebody
01:16:43.040
that's going to, you know, watch it all day and everything else.
01:16:51.940
I put the meat in, I can go to their website and they've got all kinds of, um, recipes and
01:17:01.000
And it is a grill that, oh, when it's just, when it's just the cockroaches that survive,
01:17:09.780
Cause I'm going to be hiding in my rec tech grill.
01:17:12.040
This thing isn't going anywhere built by grillers for grillers.
01:17:30.900
You can be in the private sector and be a democratically socialist business.
01:17:39.940
It's the followup to his New York times bestseller, arguing with idiots.
01:18:08.440
Uh, if you're watching here on, uh, blaze TV, you're seeing the cutest little picture.
01:18:15.400
My daughter, uh, Hannah, uh, and her daughter, Lorelai, my granddaughter, and three little puppies that they have just rescued.
01:18:34.460
Uh, but she's actually only foster parenting these dogs.
01:18:37.500
Because while I read that, like Chicago and places like that, people are adopting dogs, which is really kind of bad.
01:18:44.620
Because then they're going to go back to work and what's going to happen to the dog.
01:18:48.940
So, in other places around most of America, they're putting dogs down left and right right now.
01:19:05.440
And what they do is they work with, um, a typical animal shelter that does have to euthanize dogs.
01:19:11.680
And they take out their dogs that are at high risk of being euthanized and try to rehome them.
01:19:16.880
So, we have their mama with us right now and her three pups.
01:19:23.440
And we thought we were going to be fostering all of them.
01:19:28.100
Three of them didn't make it out of the shelter.
01:19:29.860
Um, so we are, they're going to be with us until the puppies are old enough to find a new, a new home.
01:19:34.940
And then they'll be adopted out to a forever home.
01:19:38.220
And this one has to be, the one I'm holding right now has got to go with the name Meatloaf.
01:19:43.300
Uh, because I just think he looks like a little.
01:19:49.480
So, if you are somebody that can be a foster parent for these dogs in, in COVID, uh, times,
01:19:55.520
you should call your, your, uh, animal shelters around and see.
01:20:00.620
Because there are some real problems with people adopting dogs.
01:20:05.600
Uh, and, uh, and, you know, they're dogs and not cats.
01:20:12.780
If you had six cats, if you had six cats, I wouldn't, I would call the police.
01:20:20.720
There had to be some anti-cat propaganda in there somewhere.
01:20:25.440
Maybe could we, could we find homes for these guys on the air?
01:20:31.540
So, if you want to adopt Meatloaf and keep his name Meatloaf, it could be yours.
01:20:38.700
Uh, back in just a second with our Easter message.
01:21:03.520
Today, we've been looking at the newest episode of the Glenn Beck Podcast.
01:21:07.240
As we've covered in the last two hours, this week, Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk
01:21:11.220
sat down to ask Glenn about his new book, Arguing with Socialists.
01:21:14.780
The book breaks down the biggest socialist claims and gives real, winning arguments
01:21:19.920
that conservatives can make, and it does so in a clear way that even your kids can understand.
01:21:25.220
In this preview, Glenn reads an example from the last chapter of the book.
01:21:29.060
It's the last chapter in the book, Free Markets, Free People, and Prosperity.
01:21:33.840
When was the last time you went to the grocery store and just stood in awe about how truly
01:21:41.000
Meats, breads, fruits, cheeses, green things, vegetables.
01:21:55.620
Today, our people are healthier, wealthier, happier, and safer than man has ever been before.
01:22:02.080
Americans generally live long lives, even though without much wealth and high-quality,
01:22:06.620
affordable food is available for every town in every county.
01:22:12.440
Men went from farm and fire to supermarkets and space travel in less than 200 years.
01:22:21.280
At almost any other time in human history, going back for a thousand years, a store of comparable
01:22:27.840
of your run-of-the-mill modern grocery store would have been considered a modern wonder of the world.
01:22:34.460
Markets existed in ancient times and some important cities.
01:22:38.040
You could buy products from hundreds of miles away.
01:22:40.460
But they were nothing like our modern grocery stores, where you can, in a single trip, buy apples from Washington State,
01:22:48.060
oranges from Brazil, prosciutto from Italy, chocolate from Belgium, cheese from Wisconsin,
01:22:53.640
cereal from Mexico, coffee from Colombia, milk from the nearby dairy.
01:22:57.560
Some believe this is a bad thing due to carbon emissions.
01:23:01.520
But before we throw the baby out with the bathwater, let's realize what it means to the health and welfare of the entire world
01:23:07.780
to destroy the very system that man has never seen before and has literally saved the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
01:23:15.900
So, I take the tact in the book of, let's just stop for a second and separate the bathwater from the baby.
01:23:31.840
It happened for a reason, a very specific reason.
01:23:35.320
It's not a coincidence that America is founded, and all of a sudden we go from fire to electricity.
01:23:46.900
And throughout the book, I really try to take an open position on, I think that most young socialists,
01:23:57.140
you know, I think Winston Churchill said, if you're not a socialist when you're 20, you don't have a heart.
01:24:03.620
If you're not a conservative when you're 50, you don't have a brain.
01:24:08.000
Uh, yeah, it's the, it's the, the combination of the heart and the brain.
01:24:14.300
So, I try to take an approach to where I say to the honest person who's looking at socialism and saying,
01:24:22.460
Okay, let's really look at what are the results and what are the results of the free market?
01:24:28.460
What are the bad things about the free market and the bad things about socialism?
01:24:34.860
When you just make that list of good versus bad, uh, on both sides, the tables, uh, turn.
01:24:46.740
And you can find the podcast now only at blaze tv.com, and then it will be out on other platforms starting tomorrow.
01:24:54.500
And now here's Glenn and Stu with the last hour of the show.
01:24:56.520
I want to wish you both a happy Easter and also to our viewers and listeners, happy Easter and Passover.
01:25:16.400
So, uh, uh, anyway, uh, we, we also have this Betsy DeVos, uh, interview I did yesterday
01:25:24.740
She's rarely, rarely, rarely gives, uh, interviews.
01:25:28.780
Um, she gave one, uh, to me yesterday and, uh, we, we had a really great conversation.
01:25:36.740
Started with, tell me, tell me the schools are going to open up again soon.
01:25:41.140
Uh, and ended with, no, really, they're going to open up again soon, aren't they?
01:25:44.720
Uh, but we had a great discussion about, uh, her philosophy of education, what they're learning
01:25:51.540
through all of this, how we're going to make sure that our schools, uh, you know, don't
01:25:59.460
Uh, we talked about, you know, the cities that don't have, they still have dial up internet.
01:26:05.660
That's on the Friday exclusive, and you can get it on Blaze TV, if you're a member only, commercial free.
01:26:36.060
We're going to spend some time on enlightenment.
01:26:43.500
Yes, many in America are fasting today, fasting and praying, thanking Jesus for his sacrifice
01:26:51.860
on this good Friday and asking him to pour down his blessings like rain upon us and wash
01:27:02.040
No matter what happens, we do have good news for you.
01:27:06.160
We're going to do our Easter message here in just a second.
01:27:16.220
Because it's important to understand how cybercrime is affecting our lives, especially right now.
01:27:24.560
When I start to look sane, you know that everybody is nuts.
01:27:29.580
Everybody's at home using the internet all day.
01:27:31.560
Somebody's identity is stolen every two seconds.
01:27:41.820
And all the things that you might miss on your own, they're going to catch.
01:27:49.140
Or head over and use the promo code BECK for 25% off.
01:27:55.940
Because you're going to be saving money now with LifeLock.
01:28:10.760
They say that time itself does not exist as we know it.
01:28:17.020
It only really exists as something called space-time.
01:28:28.700
Something that we can use to find out where we are, where we've been, or where we're going.
01:28:35.360
So let's unfold space-time and trace our way back.
01:28:47.760
Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world.
01:28:51.360
The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, leader of al-Qaeda.
01:28:55.400
On my orders, the United States military has begun strike.
01:28:59.980
The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
01:29:09.100
I did not have this vast right-wing conspiracy.
01:29:25.360
Because of what has happened in Munich during the past four years,
01:29:27.920
eight or nine terrified living human beings are being held prisoner.
01:29:38.080
Dr. Martin Luther King has been shot to death in Memphis.
01:29:41.920
A short time ago, an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima.
01:29:47.560
Allied naval forces, supported by strong air forces,
01:29:53.020
began landing Allied armies this morning on the northern coast of France.
01:29:58.640
December 7th, 1941, a state which will live in infamy.
01:30:10.740
Back farther still, even before Marconi, when the air was silent.
01:30:16.720
Back past the signing of the Declaration of Independence, past the Age of Enlightenment,
01:30:27.080
before Martin Luther hung his protest on the church doors,
01:30:30.740
before Columbus rediscovered the fact that the world was round.
01:30:34.180
We go past Newton, Galileo, the Dark Ages, the Crusades, back to a time before books,
01:30:42.140
when most of the world couldn't read nor write, and history was oral.
01:30:47.260
We leave this world now, where we can hear and see a lone protester standing in front of a tank
01:30:55.160
in a country on the other side of the planet, and we can see it live.
01:30:59.260
We stop here, at approximately 29 of the Common Era.
01:31:16.420
We stop at a small walled city in the Middle East.
01:31:20.620
It's around 10 o'clock at night, just a couple of days before Passover.
01:31:25.300
The meals are being prepared, the night's meal had already been eaten,
01:31:48.100
His friends, who have been with him for several years, are just a few yards away.
01:31:56.140
They still don't know that even though they sleep, the world is about to wake.
01:32:15.500
He was in a garden, in prayer, praying so hard about what he knew was about to come,
01:32:23.620
praying so hard that blood actually dripped from his pores in a place of sweat.
01:32:29.420
Back at the hill, when he returned, he begged his friends to wake and pray with him.
01:32:36.860
They didn't know how serious his request really was.
01:32:50.680
He asked this again before returning to the garden alone.
01:32:54.720
He knelt there on rocky soil, his hands clasped, his head bowed.
01:33:00.900
Twilight dew draped his neck, the horizon still in black.
01:33:07.920
He prayed even harder, for the sky would eventually turn purple, then light blue.
01:33:17.520
Back to the hill once more, his friends asleep.
01:33:21.680
He begged his friends, rise, rise and pray with me.
01:33:30.320
But shortly after he left, they fell asleep again.
01:33:33.640
The dawn was even closer, and he knew his time was running out.
01:33:40.720
Now over the hill, they marched like flowing lava burning in the night's solace.
01:34:01.500
Forsaken by the same men who just swore their undying devotion.
01:34:05.300
The torchlights grow brighter, the hourglass running low.
01:34:13.560
The sound and the vibration of the march deep down from their feet to their spine,
01:34:18.280
creating a shallow vibration, leaving them quivering.
01:34:37.440
One of the men leaps forward, draws his sword, cutting the ear off one of the soldiers.
01:35:05.120
While his friend is being persecuted for crimes he didn't commit,
01:35:09.720
he stands by a fire, denying any relationship he has,
01:35:14.000
as he tries to blend in with the common people.
01:35:22.200
Surely I don't know him, but you're from Galilee.
01:35:30.320
Now, Jesus is pulled back and forth between the two who will determine his fate.
01:35:38.400
but they still question, scourge, and mock him.
01:35:50.660
says one as they give him a crown of thorns and press it into his head.
01:35:55.860
He stands before the judge, who could condemn him for no crime.
01:36:22.260
Jesus now carries his cross through the stone-clad streets
01:37:05.600
struggled with a description of the crucifixion
01:37:23.880
as the soldiers bid lots on his clothing below.
