00:00:51.140 program. Hello America let me talk to you a little bit about beauty in the eye of the beholder. It's a

00:01:01.180 fair point but you'd be hard pressed uh to find anyone who wouldn't uh agree that the x chair is

00:02:43.660 Yeah. Yeah. So all the things we can do this weekend.

00:02:53.520 Play more games. Watch more videos. Hey we can finally get to that closet huh? That we've

00:03:05.580 all been

00:03:06.060 organized stuff.

00:03:10.560 We really want to be crazy. We can all get in the car and just drive around and look at all the

00:03:19.100 things that are closed. That's always. But then we can all come home tonight. All 350 million of us

00:03:30.380 and try to watch Netflix. And then watch how slow the internet can get. Love that. I've missed buffering.

00:03:41.520 How about you? There's nothing better than a good old Friday night watching your internet buffer.

00:03:49.000 But other than that, things are good. Oh, I think Thomas Massey might end his career today. What are you

00:03:58.600 doing Thomas? Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't make everybody fly in for a voice vote. Don't do it.

00:04:08.720 Maybe it's just me. Daniel Horowitz is here now. He is the senior editor of the conservative review

00:04:16.760 blaze podcast host. Oh, he's not on. He might be buffering.

00:04:23.860 Ah, that's happening to everybody these days. I'm so surprised you're so you're to be clear. You

00:04:28.760 think just letting this two trillion dollars go through on unanimous consent is a good idea.

00:04:35.240 No, I don't. I just I why die on the battlefield by yourself? You know, live to fight another day.

00:04:41.440 Uh, cause I just think that there's, it's, it's only going to piss everybody off. Um, and you're

00:04:48.660 doing, you know, you're making a stand and I know principles and everything else, but you

00:04:53.440 know, when you are one of the very few, you know, if you're, you're, uh, you're one of the

00:05:02.180 few that is standing up, you know, that's, that's great, but I'd rather have you stand up when

00:05:07.800 you have a chance of winning. Right. So the idea being that no matter what, they're going

00:05:13.040 to fly these people back in, they're going to vote for it. Yes. Anyway. Yep. They're

00:05:16.940 going to vote for it anyway. He wants to be on record voting. No, probably. Right. And

00:05:20.760 if it does come up for a vote, there will be a lot of no votes. I'm sure. Just because

00:05:25.020 of all the crap they've jammed into it.

00:05:27.540 Then it'd be great to read in history books that this guy named Thomas Massey stood up against

00:05:32.680 this. And I'd prefer that that wasn't the last thing that we read about, about Thomas

00:05:39.600 Massey in history books. Um, I don't know. Let's ask Daniel Horowitz about it. Daniel,

00:05:45.160 how are you?

00:05:46.700 We're doing all right. What a Patriot from Kentucky.

00:05:50.340 Yeah. Okay. So we're just, uh, just, just wondering, uh, I like Thomas and I agree with

00:05:56.680 him. I think this, this, uh, vote where they, that they're just doing unanimous consent is

00:06:02.020 sick. Uh, however, I prefer to keep Thomas Massey in Congress. And I have a feeling that

00:06:10.700 this will just be the end of his career.

00:06:13.700 Look, Glenn, I've personally advised members not to do that. So as much as I think he is

00:06:20.660 a Patriot, I get it because see, this, this is the problem we have. A lot of our base is

00:06:26.420 often looking for one big hero, but the truth is to quote Hillary Clinton, albeit in a more

00:06:33.200 appropriate context, it takes the village. You really need a movement and you need a

00:06:38.520 bunch of people. And once the fix is in it, they've already told people you're getting

00:06:43.760 all these checks, you're getting all this stuff. It's impossible for one person to put

00:06:47.940 his finger in that dike. And that's, that's really the problem here that we need to get

00:06:52.940 ahead of the curve a couple of days before this stuff percolates and demand better action.

00:07:00.220 But unfortunately we're always behind the eight ball on that. So I, I guess the best we can

00:07:05.320 do at this point is try to strategize better for the fourth tranche of this Corona rescue.

00:07:12.720 Right. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, I really respect him. Uh, and I think he's right,

00:07:20.080 but not smart, not smart. Don't stand out because Donald Trump is going to decimate him. Uh, and,

00:07:29.040 uh, and it may already be too late, but he's going to decimate him, uh, in his reelection. And,

00:07:35.020 and I, I, I hate to see that happen to him, uh, cause we need guys like him in Congress anyway. Uh,

00:07:43.960 all right. So Daniel, you're saying that, uh, as you're looking through all of the things that are

00:07:49.260 happening right now, you're saying that the state legislatures need to come together, uh, to control

00:07:56.460 our governors. What are you seeing that is, that is concerning you?

00:08:01.820 As we enter next week, this is where the fault line is. So the, the president and his team,

00:08:08.740 the healthcare experts are basically saying the models were wrong, which, which we knew this is

00:08:14.120 very serious. It's like a serious form of pneumonia in some people that absolutely does kill people.

00:08:19.760 And there will be a death toll, but that was baked into the cake months ago when we didn't shut off

00:08:25.320 travel early enough. And Democrats were upset. Trump shut off travel when he did. So what do we do

00:08:30.920 now? And what they are saying, which is what Democrat governor Cuomo is saying is that you have to have

00:08:38.120 a more targeted quarantine properly taking into account demographics, geography weighed against

00:08:45.840 the need to get as many people working as possible, not in large groups, but at their offices. So we can

00:08:53.140 get the economy moving again. Everyone should agree with that goal yet one after another, all the

00:08:59.480 governors are pushing back against that and are adamantly saying, no, we are not going to do this.

00:09:04.600 We're not doing this. And each one is trying to one up the next to announce more draconian

00:09:10.660 restrictions without showing their homework, the evidence often without putting a time limit on it.

00:09:17.740 And at some point we need to ask, wait a minute, does every dinky mayor, county executive and governor

00:09:25.060 have indiscriminate authority to promulgate anything he believes he can do, even when it violates

00:09:31.960 the most foundational First Amendment rights. There is a strong quarantine power, but that's

00:09:37.840 usually against those that have the virus or were exposed to this. And it's got to have some

00:09:44.680 limitation. So my concern is that as the president tries to achieve that balance, remember, almost none

00:09:52.020 of the restrictions are at a federal level. They're all being enacted at a state or even local level.

00:09:59.020 So nothing will change if the president tries to ease some of the restrictions because it's all the

00:10:04.800 states doing it. And that's why I believe it's time to return to self-governance, that the state

00:10:10.520 legislatures need to convene and start rigorously debating the powers of the governors and some of

00:10:16.840 the localities, the local governments, because we cannot just say, sit down, shut up and don't say

00:10:24.680 anything. This is the plague and everything goes. There's got to be some oversight.

00:10:31.860 Okay. So Daniel, I, I, I agree with you. Um, and I think that this, we're now finding out that this

00:10:38.640 is way overblown, uh, and, uh, and all of these measures may have been for not, we may have destroyed

00:10:47.820 our economy for, for very little reason. Um, however, um, when you look at the, for instance,

00:10:57.240 Florida, when they said, okay, please self-isolate, you know, keep your distance. The beaches were

00:11:05.540 packed. I can't tell you how many people, um, that you talk to and you read and you see what

00:11:12.600 they're doing and your friends will be, your family will be like, yeah, we're going out with

00:11:17.120 some friends tonight. You're like, where, what are you doing? I mean, some of us are taking it

00:11:22.880 seriously because you know, they just pumped $6 trillion into the system. The fed just broke all

00:11:32.260 of its, all of its records, just printing up money and handing it out like candy. The federal

00:11:38.080 government did the same thing. We're putting ourselves onto the edge of a depression and

00:11:43.620 people are still not self-regulating. They're still saying, well, I can go out. I'm not going

00:11:48.640 to get it. Can we get through this? Can everybody just stay home for a couple of weeks so we can get

00:11:53.780 through this? So what do you do? Glenn, Glenn, I, I, I'm not seeing that evidence. I mean, those

00:12:00.360 pictures at the beach were really from the beginning of the first week. We're at the end of the second

00:12:05.440 week. My understanding is that has died down. It obviously took a few days for it to register to go

00:12:11.340 from a hundred to zero is, is tough, but everywhere I see in my community, I mean, it's a ghost town.

00:12:17.260 And I think that is definitely the majority of places. I, what I really think is going on here

00:12:23.560 is two things. Number one, the governors and the local officials, they're enjoying this. I mean,

00:12:30.760 you're not seeing them say, look, it's with a heavy heart. I have to infringe upon the first

00:12:35.500 amendment, but I think it's necessary. No, I mean, they are reveling in it. And I think that's what

00:12:40.960 is concerning. And it's also, if you parlay, parlay that against their policies, letting out

00:12:46.460 criminals, what, so there's a science behind that too. You let out the criminals, but they say we,

00:12:51.420 we have a serious warning against anyone. Um, you know, the LA mayor is talking about shutting off the

00:12:56.720 water and power to businesses. There's something not right about that. So I think at this juncture,

00:13:03.140 two weeks into it, where the modeling, it turns out that served as the impetus for this was proven

00:13:09.280 wrong. Um, uh, Neil Ferguson in the UK basically recanted it without admitting it. So I think now is

00:13:16.640 the time not to go back to normal, but I think to try to achieve the proper balance. But, but Glenn,

00:13:23.920 if we don't do this, I mean, every day they're conjuring up more restrictions and, and more

00:13:30.740 snitching and monitoring surveillance. And at some point, this just cannot be a free for all. This is

00:13:36.820 very, very, very dangerous. I would agree with you. I'm really disturbed to see what the disagreements

00:13:45.100 yesterday. People should have gone, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, wait a minute. The guy's research that the entire

00:13:51.400 world shut down on, he now says, Oh, I was, I was wrong about the number of dead, but only by about

00:13:59.560 half a million. Oh, okay. Well, that's why we shut it down. If you would have said 20,000 people dead in

00:14:08.120 the UK, as opposed to 500,000 dead in the UK, we wouldn't have, we wouldn't have done it like this.

00:14:16.160 And yesterday when he comes out and I didn't see that sigh of relief from the media. You know,

00:14:22.720 I, I watched, uh, Donald Trump's, um, uh, his, uh, press conference yesterday. And every single

00:14:30.320 person that stood up at the podium said, what's happening right now with our media and the way

00:14:35.720 they're portraying things, you know, that hospitals, you can't get any service. They're talking about

00:14:41.500 death panels now. And they're talking about, you know, who's going to live and die, et cetera,

00:14:46.140 et cetera. And, and, and all of the doctors standing up said that is entirely irresponsible

00:14:54.160 to even be talking about those things publicly at this point, because it's not, we're not at that

00:15:01.780 point. And we don't think we're going to get to that point, but you know, they just keep going that

00:15:08.540 way. So I, I get it. Um, so what are you, what are you suggesting, uh, calling our, our legislatures

00:15:15.760 and saying, get together and get the reins around this? Absolutely. Look, we all agreed two weeks ago,

00:15:24.320 look, we don't know what's going on. This is very scary. We got to save lives. Let's shut it down.

00:15:28.720 Fine. But what happened was every day as the evidence became clear that this was overblown to an

00:15:37.220 extent, they kept tightening things and tightening things, and they're still moving in that direction.

00:15:42.280 So there needs to be a reset and a rethinking. And you know, who said the word rethinking yesterday,

00:15:48.620 the governor Cuomo, who is the governor of the hardest hit state. He said, we are locking up

00:15:52.900 young people with older people. That's not the best quarantine strategy. We shouldn't have shut down

00:15:58.060 all the workplaces. It's almost a quote. I was trying to bring it up here, but it's a Fox news article

00:16:02.880 has all the quotes there. And I think, you know, as Deborah Burke said, the key point of,

00:16:09.420 of that study, the Imperial college study recanting is this, it's that it's not that this is starting

00:16:16.080 now and we got to stuff it in the, in the bud. We got to make sure this doesn't grow. It's evident.

00:16:22.480 This has been around since December and millions of people have had it already. So that, that requires

00:16:29.040 a very different strategy that cuts to the core of why we started this. So again, you know,

00:16:36.260 you, it takes a village. We need, we need state legislatures. We cannot have governors having

00:16:42.260 more power than the president has. All right. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Daniel Horowitz,

00:16:48.920 Blaze podcast host, uh, and, uh, editor of the conservative review. Thank you so much.

00:16:54.500 Uh, appreciate it, Daniel. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is gold line. You know, the old

00:17:00.080 phrase, you take that to the bank kind of been in reverse lately, isn't it? I mean, it's a Goldman

00:17:05.760 Sachs just came out and suggested might be time for people to take it out of the bank and, uh,

00:17:11.520 consider investing in gold. This happened this week, Goldman Sachs. They say it's a safe haven

00:17:17.100 against the very sort of thing that we're facing with the Corona virus and all of the economic

00:17:22.080 panic surrounding it. They're saying that, you know, the dollar is, um, uh, kind of under stress.

00:17:28.620 Maybe I don't ever try to pressure you about things like this, but I do. Uh, there are times in my life

00:17:35.260 where I feel, uh, to urge you strongly to at least, uh, consider leaning in one direction and, uh, and

00:17:46.140 gathering the information that you need. You're smart enough to figure this out on your own.

00:17:50.640 Are you in the position where this is helpful to you? I can't imagine you're, you're not. Um,

00:17:57.140 but I want you to do your own homework. I want you to call gold line right now. 866 gold line,

00:18:02.480 866 gold line or goldline.com and talk to them. Uh, just something, something hedge your bet,

00:18:12.020 spread your money out. Uh, call gold line now, 866 gold line, 1-866 gold line or goldline.com.

00:18:20.640 Let's go for a 10 second station ID.

00:18:37.640 So Stu. Yes, Glenn.

00:18:41.260 You seem happy today. Seems like things are going well. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I'm really,

00:18:50.020 no, seriously. No, it doesn't seem like it's going well. Oh yeah. It's, it should be a little bit more

00:18:56.260 normal for you considering you've done a lot of homeschooling in your life with your kids.

00:19:02.700 Right. So this isn't all that. No, it's not even, it's not even the kids. It's really not. It's not

00:19:08.680 even the kids. It's, uh, uh, it's just home all the time, you know, and all of my projects,

00:19:19.440 all the things I'm working on just full stop is like driving me crazy. You know? Yes. Just a little

00:19:25.500 bit. Yes. A little bit. Yes. You can, you can relate to that. Yeah. I think everybody can relate

00:19:31.580 to this because you know, you had this idea that you're going to sit home and watch Netflix. I

00:19:35.500 haven't watched any Netflix. I have not watched anything at all at all. I've done anything like

00:19:40.260 that. Um, you know, I am excited because Ozark is out this weekend and, uh, everybody on earth

00:19:46.140 seems to be talking about Tiger King, which I'm like dying to watch now. Have you heard about, uh,

00:19:50.580 this? Everyone is talking about that. Yeah. Everyone. I heard it's amazing. I'm still,

00:19:55.380 I'm still watching this, uh, thing with my wife. Uh, what is it? The overlander or the outlander,

00:20:01.560 whatever it, the Scottish movie or series. And it's great. It's really good. It's actually really,

00:20:10.560 really, really good, but there's only so much, you know, Oh, Mr. Darcy that one can take.

00:20:17.420 There's only so much that one can take. To me, what the amount was, what you just did.

00:20:22.060 That's a, that's the amount I could take. Yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. Unfortunately,

00:20:26.420 five seasons, five seasons of that. Yeah. There is this thing. I think that is new in our society

00:20:32.620 where you commit to a series like that and you get halfway through and you, you realize I probably

00:20:38.160 should just bail on this, but I'm now too invested. It's like you're, you're chasing that sort of lost

00:20:43.800 money type of thing. Yeah. No, no, it's not that I really like this. I mean, it's got enough action

00:20:49.660 in it, uh, to where it's, it's good and it's, it's got enough history into it. And I really,

00:20:56.380 I really like it, but it's just, there's only so much, you know, uh, just chick stuff in it.

00:21:05.700 That is just, I can't, I can't, can I, can we watch a new James Bond? Is there a new James Bond?

00:21:12.840 Is there a new mission impossible? Is there new anything, any kind of action is the Glenn Beck

00:22:52.600 a Pat gray unleashed Pat. We're just having this conversation back and forth about how, um, we're,

00:22:59.400 we're not sure. Uh, I have this feeling that this is going to be like the, uh,

00:23:08.560 like the scientists that were telling us all about global warming. Cause we're kind of like,

00:23:15.000 could be, don't know, yet they panic and say, we're all going to die. I still think we're two

00:23:22.780 weeks away from seeing how bad this thing can get. Uh, but because we're all staying in or most of us

00:23:30.960 are staying in, we are, you know, we are really slowing the growth down. So we'll never know how bad

00:23:37.000 it could have been. Do you think that we have overreacted at all at all? Oh yeah. Yeah. I think

00:23:45.180 there's been some or overreaction and what I hate are the dire predictions that, you know, the 2.2

00:23:52.040 million dead Americans and all that. How does that help in any way at all? It doesn't. It causes

00:23:59.340 people to panic. It hurts the market. Uh, and people just lose all sense of, uh, reality.

00:24:07.380 Unless it's true. Unless it's true. But even if it is true, even if that's going to happen,

00:24:11.840 why would you tell people that's going to happen? How does that help us? It doesn't.

00:24:16.520 I guess it's to get people to take it seriously, right? Like, well, I think we're pretty well there

00:24:20.760 already. We've already given up half of three quarters of our liberty. Right, right. Wait a minute.

00:24:25.360 Wait a minute. Is it only me that has friends that are still texting? They're still, they're

00:24:31.780 still out going, yeah, I'm having friends. Is no one else having a problem with their friends

00:24:36.720 where you're saying, Hey, dude, you guys should take this seriously. I mean, we're all kind of

00:24:42.780 staying at home. Yeah, it's all overblown. It's all, am I the only one that has friends who are still

00:24:49.740 going out doing things and, you know, going over to friends' houses and I'm the only one?

00:24:56.820 Maybe because I don't know anybody like that. And there's nowhere to go if you were to go.

00:25:01.540 Where were you going to go? They're going to friends' houses and they're doing stuff as friends.

00:25:06.520 Like yesterday, like yesterday, yesterday, I went out, my wife and I were like, okay,

00:25:12.000 I got to go take a drive. And I've been working on the remodel of our studio complex. And I'm way

00:25:18.880 behind now because of all this stuff. And we have to do landscaping. And I said, honey, let's just go

00:25:25.660 to that tree farm. And she said, is it open? And I said, I hope not, but we'll just go and we'll walk

00:25:32.180 through it because, you know, it's, you can still walk through it even when it's closed. Well, I get

00:25:37.280 there and I turn into the parking lot and it is packed. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not

00:25:44.620 park here. And so we went around the corner and we just walked through the trees where there was

00:25:50.240 nobody. But that place was packed. People were in close to each other doing stuff, talking to people,

00:25:56.260 buying stuff. I was like, what is happening? I don't see that. I mean, even at the grocery store,

00:26:03.160 everybody's kind of distanced themselves from each other. And I think just because they have

00:26:07.640 their own common sense, they don't have to be told where to stand. Like some Kroger's have done

00:26:12.620 where they show you where to stand in the checkout line. Yeah. I think I can noodle that out for

00:26:17.100 myself. I'm not going to get, you know, right. Do a little pony back ride on the next guy in front

00:26:25.480 of me. I'm not going to do that. So it's just, I, if we just exercised our common sense, we wouldn't

00:26:32.300 have to be told exactly what we should be doing and what we shouldn't be doing. I mean, even in

00:26:38.000 Britain, the prime minister, Boris Johnson just tested positive for this. What has he been doing?

00:26:44.720 You've been out partying? He might've been making out with Prince Charles because they both have it.

00:26:48.840 So maybe that's a thing. We now know. We now know. The prince is like, Boris, I confused you with

00:26:55.480 Camilla. You look so much alike. Did you see, have you seen any of their press conferences over

00:27:03.980 there? Because even their, their podiums, unlike ours, where the president's like, you know, got

00:27:10.060 his arm around people like, Hey, we're all in this together. And given the press conference where

00:27:14.820 they're all right there in Great Britain, they had the podiums six, seven feet apart. It was bizarre.

00:27:23.720 Six or seven feet apart, way across the room from each other. And then this enormous television

00:27:29.680 where the press could ask questions. And they were all in separate rooms too. I mean, it's,

00:27:37.240 it's not like ours at all. Well, according to the press, we've taken no precautions whatsoever.

00:27:43.780 I mean, I don't, I don't know what they want us to do. I don't want, I don't know what they

00:27:47.560 want Trump to mandate, but they're still saying he's rudderless leaderless. He's done nothing.

00:27:53.720 Uh, he's handled this poorly. I don't get that sense. I mean, even though, yes, they do do the

00:27:58.640 close contact, uh, press conference, but they all know each other doesn't have it because they've

00:28:03.280 all been tested. Um, but I don't know what else you can do in this, in this country.

00:28:09.180 I don't know. I go back and forth on this, but I think so far, I think what Trump has done has

00:28:14.180 been the right thing, right? Like I think, I think, you know, he, look, it's unlike global warming,

00:28:19.380 cause you brought up global warming before. And I think this is a good comparison. Global warming

00:28:22.780 is something where they're saying we have to ask, act right now because the effect, the effects will

00:28:27.900 be horrible and irreversible in 10 years. And then you go five years in and they say, it's going to

00:28:32.400 be in 10 years. That's what it's going to be horrible or irreversible. And they kind of give

00:28:35.620 you this constant moving deadline about what we know in the future. And of course, you know,

00:28:40.280 human nature is long into the future. Here we have a situation where I think there's a lot of

00:28:45.060 reason to believe that perhaps some of these estimates are too aggressive, right? However,

00:28:52.080 when the, the information is going to be available to you as to how bad it is in two weeks,

00:28:58.000 and if the worst case is really bad, if the experts believe this, maybe this is the right step.

00:29:05.080 He said 15 days, right? And yes, this is really hurting people right now. Obviously they're going

00:29:09.740 to do this package and hopefully solve some of those wounds. But the bottom line at the end of

00:29:15.000 this is we should know in real, in a really close amount of time, whether we need to continue this

00:29:21.500 or how aggressively we need to continue it. So I don't know, everyone's beating up on him because

00:29:26.660 either he went too hard on, on these, on these 15 days or that he's trying to get everybody out

00:29:32.920 and in the workforce by Easter. And that's crazy. But like the best thing to do is get the information

00:29:39.060 that, that is coming in and making the decisions based on that. Right. And it seems that that'd be

00:29:43.400 what Fauci is saying and Birx is saying we, he's reacting to the information on the ground

00:29:49.040 where it looks like maybe it's, you know, like Washington's a great example. It looked like

00:29:53.400 the first big breakout. Then it, it does not seem like it's been as bad as they would have expected

00:29:58.580 it. So that's, that's it. That's real information that they're able to take in and say, okay,

00:30:02.020 what went right there and what's going wrong in New York? Right.

00:30:05.400 So here's, here's the thing. Um, we just don't know, uh, what's true and what's not. But when I

00:30:13.580 watched the president yesterday and I've watched it, I watch him every day at five o'clock. It's,

00:30:18.960 it's like, it's like, it's kind of like, I think how people felt about my show, maybe at five o'clock,

00:30:23.780 it's like appointment television. I watch it every day. You know, my wife is like, Hey,

00:30:27.700 president's on, we're not watching any other show, uh, like this. And so we're, we're watching it,

00:30:33.540 uh, yesterday and every single one of them were like, calm down people, calm down. Uh,

00:30:41.080 and they weren't talking to the American people. They were just talking to the press. I, the,

00:30:45.700 the prey, you can't win with the press. You've either done too much or you've done too little

00:30:50.520 and, and, and, and they can't make up their mind, which, which it's supposed to be.

00:30:56.100 So they use both actually. Yeah. They use both all the time. They do. Yeah. In the same report,

00:31:03.540 sometimes, which is bizarre. I, and I, you know, this is the United States of America.

00:31:09.700 If, if you think he's done too little, I don't know what you expect him to have done at this

00:31:14.040 point. Yeah. No, I don't either. Short of soldering people into their homes like China did.

00:31:19.840 Is that what you want? They keep saying that, you know, he's going to open up the,

00:31:24.660 are you really going to open up the country? No, you dummy. Listen to what he's saying.

00:31:30.200 He's saying, for instance, uh, let's go County by County. Let's look at the counties where it's

00:31:37.280 high risk. Let's look at the population. Basically. He's saying the same thing that Cuomo is now saying

00:31:43.620 we shouldn't have done it. Like we've done it. We did it because that's, that's all we knew what to

00:31:49.560 do at the time. And now let's relook at things. Let's, let's reexamine this and see what,

00:31:56.280 what the hell we're doing here. And, and, and, uh, they don't accept that. They just think that he

00:32:02.600 is, he's just going to say it's Easter. Everyone get your butt in church. I don't care how sick you

00:32:09.660 are. Crazy. I know even crazy. They described it. Um, I think Fauci described it as his aspirational

00:32:17.600 goal, right? But he's considering the information as it comes in. And if it's, if that goal doesn't

00:32:23.600 make sense, then you, it's like my goal, my aspirational goal is to buy a Bugatti. That doesn't

00:32:28.160 mean I'm going to the dealership today. Like you've got to go to see what the situation is at some

00:32:32.120 point. Maybe I'll be able to afford one, but not right now. That's right. Like my aspirational goal

00:32:36.600 is to lose another 25 pounds. That's not stopping me from getting a bowl of ice cream in this next

00:32:41.020 break. It doesn't mean I'm going to do that anyway. Uh, all right guys, thank you so much. Uh, back in

00:32:47.700 just a minute. First, let me tell you about, uh, rough greens. My dog is, I mean, he's got a

00:32:53.580 different, he's got a different attitude, a different life. Uh, he's happier than I've ever

00:33:00.060 seen him. One of the reasons is his wife died. Uh, and she was the real meaning of the word female

00:33:09.700 dog. Uh, she, woo. Anyway, so she died and all of a sudden I saw his tail wag for the first time

00:33:17.780 and he was like, Oh my gosh, I'm not doomed. I'm not doomed for the rest of my life. And he had a

00:33:23.980 new lease on life. Then we started feeding him differently. We're still feeding him in the same

00:33:29.040 dog food. Um, at least we were when we started doing rough greens and he loved it. He would eat

00:33:35.760 for the first time ever. He would eat. Then we started making our own dog food, but I want to

00:33:41.300 talk to you about the food itself. The food itself is not as important as what's in the food and

00:33:48.240 nothing that you're buying from the store has anything live in it. It can't, it would rot. It

00:33:53.900 would be bad. So rough greens, R U F F greens.com slash back. If you go there and you order this,

00:34:00.800 you get the vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and even omega oils and

00:34:32.380 Glenn 33. It's rough. R U F F greens.com slash back. You're listening to Glenn back.

00:34:42.540 All right. Just, uh, Thomas Massey is going to get his head handed to him and I, that's, I'm bummed

00:35:01.700 out. Uh, I hoping that he does not call from, for a voice vote, um, because he's just, it's not gonna,

00:35:10.160 it's not gonna change the way they're going to vote and it will delay things and we should not

00:35:15.840 delay. And, uh, he'll just, he'll just get his head handed to him, please. Thomas been trying to,

00:35:23.800 trying to get in touch with him, uh, during the show and say, don't do it, don't do it. Uh, but we'll

00:35:30.620 see that vote is going to be happening here. Uh, or is it, is it already happened? I'm, I'm in central

00:35:37.960 time now. I'm thinking it's a nine o'clock Eastern, but it's almost a nine o'clock. It's

00:35:42.900 almost 10 o'clock now Eastern time. Uh, Stu, will you just check on that for me? Sure. Don't

00:35:50.400 do it. Don't do it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I want to talk as a competent in you in this particular

00:35:55.960 argument. I mean, it's like, look, you know, it's clearly unconstitutional, right? To, to vote

00:36:02.580 without a court. I know it's not a, it's not, he's not, I know it's blatantly, he's blatantly

00:36:07.300 right on the issue, right? We all know that. I mean, it's a hundred percent. We should not be

00:36:10.360 spending $2 trillion spending bills this way. It seems to me to make a lot of sense to try to

00:36:16.000 figure out a way to let representatives vote remotely. I know that there's questions about

00:36:20.820 that and the constitutionality as well, but it seems like that should be investigated. Um, but like,

00:36:25.880 you know what? I don't know. I mean, someone's got to stand it's right in the constitution.

00:36:29.200 You can't, you can't have votes without quorum. I mean, like it's, it's right in there.

00:36:33.620 I don't look, here's the thing. Here's the thing. He'll just be destroyed and then we'll lose him

00:36:39.920 in Congress. And I, I know I look, I'm the principal guy. I know the principle of this is wrong,

00:36:46.000 but there are so few people in Congress that are standing for the right things. He is strong.

00:36:55.200 He's really smart. He's, he's on top of all of the technology stuff. He's right on so many issues.

00:37:03.260 I just hate to see him go. He's facing a reelection that the, the Republicans will work

00:37:09.940 against him because of this vote. I mean, it's just not a, it's just not a good thing. I,

00:37:15.460 I hate to lose him. I'd rather have him there fighting against the next bill than lose him on

00:37:20.100 this one, but yeah, I know that he, Trump is now tweeting about him by the way. Um, saying,

00:37:26.080 looks like a third rate grandstander named Thomas Massey, a Congressman, unfortunately from a

00:37:35.020 truly great state, Kentucky. There's a lot of commas in here. I'm sorry. I'm having issues. Uh,

00:37:40.640 with, uh, wants to vote against our new save our workers bill in Congress. He just wants the

00:37:44.960 publicity. This is not going to be good publicity for Thomas Massey. I don't think that's an

00:37:48.700 argument. Uh, he can't stop it. Only delay, which is true, which is both dangerous and costly

00:37:53.820 workers and small businesses need money now in order to survive. I would say that's true as well.

00:37:58.140 Virus wasn't their fault. It is hell dealing with them. Uh, dealing with the Dems had to give up some

00:38:03.520 stupid things in order to get the big picture done. 90% great win back house, but throw Massey out of

00:38:10.180 the Republican party. Uh, well now he's already, he's already, I mean, this is already. Might as

00:38:16.400 well do it now. Might as well do it. I guess this is probably Trump's last sort of, um, you know,

00:38:23.740 attempt to get him to, to back down and not do this. But I mean, I don't think there's a question

00:38:28.920 as to whether it would actually be constitutionally allowed, but with Massey, like there's just not

00:38:35.260 going to be enough people voting there, what they do. And I think we, I can't remember who we talked

00:38:38.140 to. Was it, was it Massey this week who was talking about how, what they say is they, they have to get

00:38:43.700 a certain amount of congressmen in the room to vote. Uh, and what they basically do is if four

00:38:48.940 people are there, let's say, ah, it looks like 218 and then they vote. That's how this works.

00:38:53.300 It's obviously completely wrong and totally against the constitution. It shouldn't happen on any issue.

00:38:58.220 And we're talking about the largest spending bill in American history. I don't know that the right

00:39:04.400 thing to do is to just have this, a unanimous consent vote based on something that is obviously

00:39:10.240 unconstitutional. Um, you know, I don't know. I mean, I, I, I, I totally see what you mean and we

00:39:15.720 probably will lose him over this. Uh, but I mean, this is why my thing is his, I think I know, I know.

00:39:22.960 And, and he's, he is right for the stance that he's taking. I'm just, you know, we're,

00:39:30.100 we're losing, uh, we're losing people who are willing to stand and we got it, Thomas,

00:39:38.420 you will stand. Just let's not lose an ally, uh, in this cause it's not going to change

00:39:45.480 anyone's mind. It's not.

00:43:06.780 from Bill O'Reilly.com. Hi, Bill. You drinking again, Beck? What are you doing out there? Come on.

00:43:14.160 Oh my gosh, Bill. I've never been so close to drinking in my life. What's the word I'm looking

00:43:20.420 for? Um, Stu, what's going on? I don't know. Is he in his pajamas or what's he doing? Uh, we can only

00:43:27.000 see from the waist up, Bill, but he is at least wearing a t-shirt. All right. So, um, discipline,

00:43:33.380 Beck, that's the key to get through this whole thing. Discipline.

00:43:38.960 Is it? I think high-speed internet that's not slowing down is the key to get through this.

00:43:45.120 I think, I think also, I gotta tell you, Bill, uh, I, you know, I'm an alcoholic. I've been

00:43:50.640 sober now for, what, 24 years, 25 years, and, uh, I was in the grocery store the other

00:43:57.120 day. I would have broken a bottle open and, and had that bottle of that wine, drink it

00:44:02.800 right out of its jagged neck.

00:44:06.680 Why?

00:44:07.160 Why? Yeah. Come on, Bill. Really? Seriously? Well, not because I mean, life is a series of

00:44:19.800 challenges. All right. And this is shut up. This is no, I'm telling you, you've got to look

00:44:27.460 at it from the point of view of improving the country and improving every single citizen in it.

00:44:36.580 So it's like a war. No, I do that. I do. Okay. If you think alcoholism is logical,

00:44:42.940 then, you know, we're, we're, we're already off to a bad start. Here's the thing. Right. And I,

00:44:48.520 and I, I, and I know that I just, uh, you know, I, I, I'm somebody who likes work. I like

00:44:56.240 to do things. I was in the middle of a billion projects. Everything's at a full stop. And it's

00:45:01.680 like, okay, I got it. We got to do these things. Yada, yada. But I am really ready to go back to

00:45:06.260 work. I'm really ready. Everybody's got that underlining anger about their lives being disrupted

00:45:12.100 and good projects and good things going down the drain. I acknowledge that. But what I'm trying

00:45:18.200 to get across to my, uh, people on radio and on billoreilly.com is you can't control some things.

00:45:26.760 And when you can't control it, you analyze it. And then you do what's best for you, your family

00:45:33.000 and your country. And what's best now is discipline and to do what we have to do to protect ourselves

00:45:38.900 and to, to rebuild a country that is, uh, tottering. Everybody knows the United States.

00:45:46.220 Yeah, I know.

00:45:46.720 Tottering. So let's rebuild it in a sane, fair way when we get through this virus. Now I have some

00:45:55.060 good news for you back. Would you like good news or you want to wallow in whatever you're wallowing in?

00:46:01.540 No, no. I, first of all, let me just say this. I know we're going to get through this.

00:46:05.740 I just, I'm, I'm ready to, I'm ready to start moving forward as a nation. And I know the nation's

00:46:12.240 not ready yet physically. Um, but, uh, I agree with president Trump. You know, we, we've got to

00:46:19.360 get back to work as soon as we can. This, the, the spending that we've done just this week is insane.

00:46:25.740 And if we don't get back to work, it will cripple us. I agree with all of that. And I think that,

00:46:32.960 uh, in fact, I don't think I know that the strategy of the federal government now, as it,

00:46:38.860 as we talk today is to, um, segment the country into hotspots like New York, where I am right now,

00:46:48.260 and then other places that aren't so bad. And then in the not so bad places, you roll out a normalcy

00:46:56.020 before you do that in New York or California. So that's the strategy.

00:47:02.920 Right. Correct. Now, Bill, how, what is it like, what is it like in New York right now? Cause that's

00:47:08.380 where you're on Long Island. I know that, but man, watching television, it seems like escape from

00:47:14.760 New York. Well, I'm 20 miles outside of the city. Last time I was in the city, I think it was three or

00:47:22.340 four weeks ago. Um, the people living in New York are in a bad place because they're on top of one

00:47:31.740 another. So it's 8.6 million living in a single city. It's like London. Um, but unlike London,

00:47:42.940 most of the people live in these high rise apartments where there are literally hundreds of

00:47:48.900 people in your proximity, you can't thousands, six feet distance, um, people. So what's happened

00:47:58.380 is most of the folks are staying inside. They go out to buy groceries or maybe, uh, take a walk or a

00:48:06.180 jog. They've, they've, uh, they have streets for that and they block the streets off of traffic.

00:48:11.500 You can't go outside and it's a fresh air, but, um, it's a escape from New York scenario. The,

00:48:18.160 the movie we're talking about with Kurt Russell and Lee Van Cleef. Um, but the good news is

00:48:25.700 there really hasn't been a violence or there hasn't been a looting, uh, hasn't been any social disorder.

00:48:32.720 The police are up against it because they're getting sick and they have families and they have to go out

00:48:39.960 and interact and the, uh, the health workers and the hospitals are up against it. So it's bad here,

00:48:47.400 whereby in the rural areas of the country, most places is not so bad, but can I get to the good

00:48:54.720 news back? Can I get to the good news? Get to the good news. In China, Starbucks, which runs 4,200

00:49:03.520 stores has opened up 95% of them after closing them down because the virus, according to Starbucks

00:49:14.300 is contained. If that's true. And I don't doubt the stores are opening. That's a three month arc

00:49:23.340 because this started in China. It's a three month arc. And then the virus has dissipated. Now you can't

00:49:32.260 believe the communist government can't believe what they say. It's all a bunch of crap, but this

00:49:37.520 is coming out of Seattle. This is coming out of the CEO there. And so when I saw that, of course,

00:49:43.180 none of the press actually reports the news. So you didn't hear it anywhere, but billoreilly.com. I

00:49:49.260 went, this is a pretty good deal. This is good. Um, and the guy is Kevin Johnson. He's on the record.

00:49:56.540 So if that's true, there may be a three month arc and that would be in late April, it would start to

00:50:06.240 dissipate in the USA. Right. We're about 50 days behind China. Um, and so whatever, whatever is

00:50:14.500 happening, if we can trust China, whatever is happening in China, we're about 50 days behind

00:50:19.420 them. So what, if you look, go back and look at the headlines, I haven't posted at glenbeck.com.

00:50:24.480 If you look at the headlines 50 days ago, uh, in China, that's where we are. Um, and so we're just,

00:50:32.440 but I'm not going to quibble. So what I'm, what I'm concerned about is people, uh, hurting themselves

00:50:41.540 because they can't handle the pressure of the pandemic. Me too. And if you, I talked to the

00:50:49.300 suicide hotline people yesterday, suicide hotlines up 300%. So I want to report accurately, but I also

00:50:58.140 want to report things that are good. And that separates me from the national media, which is

00:51:03.840 blending reporting on the pandemic with their political wishlist that Trump be destroyed.

00:51:10.500 So you don't get the truth there. You, you're getting a, uh, spin negative to her Trump about

00:51:19.160 the pandemic. Right. So, you know, that's my job. That's your job. I mean, I, I have to say that

00:51:25.580 I consider the blaze and honest form of, uh, of communication. You're different from billoreilly.com.

00:51:32.540 I'm very hard news, uh, focused on mine. Uh, I don't go off into a lot of different areas,

00:51:39.060 but that's not a criticism. It's just what it is. Yeah. Hundreds of thousands of people are coming

00:51:47.340 into my website. It's unprecedented. Hundreds of thousands because they know what they're seeing,

00:51:54.560 particularly on television in America is a bunch of garbage because it's speculation.

00:51:59.900 How many times have you seen an anchor go to their audience and to the guests? How many times have

00:52:07.900 you heard the words, um, what do you make of this? When you hear those words, you know, that anchor

00:52:18.000 person, whatever doesn't have a question. Is that smart enough to have a question? What do you make of

00:52:26.820 this? What are you nuts? Your job is to bring information and get more information, not this

00:52:34.120 bill or the day B I L G E that we're hearing. So anyway, I really want to bring the best available

00:52:41.960 information. I think this thing subsides by summer. I could be wrong, but I think that's what we're going

00:52:50.800 to look at. I think so too. I think it is going to, I think, you know, April or May is when we're

00:52:57.400 going to pull out of this, uh, and it's a seasonal thing. So we'll be facing it again. Uh, but hopefully

00:53:04.160 we will be more prepared, uh, for it the next time when, when this lifts, we have to understand that

00:53:11.260 this is like a seasonal flu. It's going to come back. So we need to prepare. We need to, you know,

00:53:17.000 we're going to have to keep our distance from each other for a while. I want to take a quick

00:53:21.400 break bill. And, and, uh, when we come back, I want to talk to you specifically about the spending

00:53:27.280 bill. Uh, the, I think the suicide that Thomas Massey just went on a suicide mission. Uh, and, um,

00:53:35.380 and also I want to talk to you a little bit about what the fed is doing and how you feel about this

00:53:41.400 far as our recovery, right thing to do too much, too little. They're already talking about yet

00:53:46.640 another stimulus package. We'll get to that here in just a second. All right. I want to talk to you

00:53:56.380 a little bit about gold line. Goldman Sachs said just the other day, uh, no, it's, it's zip recruiter.

00:54:02.400 Sorry. Gosh, I'm sorry. Uh, zip recruiter, uh, zip recruiter, uh, is the best way to hire. And we're

00:54:09.200 all going to have to hire again. Uh, and hopefully you haven't let people go, but if you have,

00:54:20.740 hearing the, the sound whipping through the wind, whipping through the cubicles, uh, through offices

00:54:35.700 zip recruiter because you want to be the first in and getting all of the great people who have

00:54:41.220 been let go. Cause there's a ton of people that have been let go. When you're ready to hire new

00:55:32.960 So Bill, let's talk about the stimulus package. What'd you think of the stimulus package?

00:55:42.140 It's a three month fix. Um, you know, if I were a Senator, I would vote for it. I understand that

00:55:51.020 was loaded up with a lot of garbage that doesn't have anything to do with the pandemic. Um, and,

00:55:56.880 uh, the bill is, I don't think it's overall harmful to the nation because you needed it this time,

00:56:03.720 particularly because it did stabilize the stock market for a few days, but it's a three month

00:56:09.340 fix. And now we're 25 trillion in debt. So, you know, but you got to get through this before you

00:56:16.480 can deal with the debt. Uh, it looks like Thomas Massey may have just, uh, committed political

00:56:22.780 suicide. He was standing up in Congress and saying, this is unconstitutional to, we, we don't have a

00:56:30.400 quorum here and you can't just pass bills without a vote. Uh, and he wanted to, he wanted to vote

00:56:38.580 and, uh, you know, he didn't get one. And now, I mean, how do you think he's going to fare?

00:56:45.680 I don't care. It doesn't matter to me whether he fares well or not. I, in the end, and I cut

00:56:53.760 through all the BS, the house will pass the bill and Trump will sign it. And then three months hence,

00:57:02.160 we're going to be looking at another bailout unless they come up with a vaccine. That's the whole key

00:57:08.080 here is if the medical community, um, can come up with medicine or vaccine to knock this thing out

00:57:18.080 vis-a-vis Ebola. Um, I think they're going to be able to, and that deck will nail socialism

00:57:25.680 for the next 10 years dead in this country, because who is the target of, uh, Bernie Sanders,

00:57:32.940 Elizabeth Warren, the big drug companies, or who's going to save our butts?

00:57:38.080 The big drug companies. Drug companies. Yeah. Um, and you know, if you think that the federal

00:57:44.040 government can save you in the medical area, well, let's see if the federal government gets,

00:57:49.860 gets the, uh, vaccine. They won't, it'll come out of the private sector.

00:57:56.220 So, you know, it's, it's, it's interesting because Fauci has just come out and said,

00:58:00.220 if we would have had nationalized medicine, we'd be really screwed. Uh, you know,

00:58:05.660 look at the stats in, in Italy and Spain, the deaths are a million, right? Seven times as high

00:58:14.680 as the United States, the United States has the lowest deaths per million population of any country

00:58:22.060 that's been impacted. And the, the, it looks like German, that's the hard stats. And if you look at

00:58:29.080 Germany, which whose market I think may even be more free than ours, because their CDC, if you will,

00:58:35.920 doesn't have dictatorial powers. Um, they just advise and say, look, we need testing that gives

00:58:44.700 us these kinds of results. And then it has to go to the free market and their testing is off the charts.

00:58:50.220 I mean, they are testing everybody in Germany and that is helping them. And that's because of the

00:58:56.420 free market that's mandated because of national socialism in the 1930s. Well, I don't believe

00:59:03.040 the German stats, number one, that they're putting out. I don't believe it. Um, but I have it right in

00:59:08.640 front of me. Deaths in Germany from Corona, 3.4 per million. All right. In the United States is four

00:59:18.060 per million. In Italy, it's 136 per million. That socialized medicine, Spain, 104. Great Britain,

00:59:30.760 double hours, double hours. So, um, I'm not, I was always, uh, a guy who, who believed the government

00:59:41.020 should oversee the medical industry, but not impose government mandates like Bernie Sanders wants and

00:59:51.460 all that. And I think this is one of the, one of the things that'll come out of the, uh, the COVID

00:59:57.360 thing is that socialism is dead. The other thing is the second amendment will never again be challenged,

01:00:03.980 at least in our lifetime, because people know the government can't protect you, can't protect you.

01:00:11.940 I mean, right now, look at what's happening. Look what's happening, uh, to the second amendment

01:00:19.400 though, right now. I mean, you have States like California, uh, LA, the, the sheriffs, they're

01:00:25.880 shut down all gun stores. I mean, they are, they are doing everything they can to shut down, uh,

01:00:32.220 the people are going to resell. I think Virginia, that's the one to keep your eye on in November.

01:00:39.860 I think they're going to throw out all these people. Now, I don't know about California.

01:00:44.180 That's pretty crazy, but Virginia, you keep your eye on that, that state in November.

01:00:50.360 I agree. I agree. All right. We're going to come back with Bill O'Reilly in just a second.

01:00:54.460 We're going to talk a little politics, uh, a little Joe Biden, what the Democrats strategy is,

01:00:59.960 how the president is faring. So, so far, uh, his press conference, it's getting too popular.

01:01:07.040 It is must watch television. And that's why the media wants it shut down.

01:01:13.740 You might be thinking right now, literally, um, anything in the housing market is a huge gamble

01:01:19.480 and maybe even a mistake. The economy has been all over the paper place. People are swapping the

01:01:24.980 coronavirus, whether they want to or not. And everything is a mess right now. But the good

01:01:30.060 news is this too shall pass maybe sooner, maybe later, but America is going to get back on its

01:01:36.020 feet again. And that means your real estate plans might be fine. You need to ask an expert.

01:01:42.780 Uh, this is where real estate agents I trust come in. Even under the best circumstances,

01:01:47.620 the agents I work with are at the top of their class. And when you get into a scary market like

01:01:53.660 this one, you need the agents spend. I've been there, done that, seen this one before.

01:01:58.380 Imagine the market in 2008 markets, not that way yet. I mean, right now houses are still selling,

01:02:05.400 uh, and they are, are closing on them. And with the loans now being so inexpensive,

01:02:12.160 the interest rates so low, this may actually work out to your advantage. If you're looking to buy or

01:02:18.020 sell a home, make sure you contact realestateagentsitrust.com right now, realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:02:29.240 Glenn Beck's Arguing with Socialists is available, uh, April 7th. You can pre-order now at

01:02:33.400 glennbeck.com or at amazon.com.

01:02:42.160 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It's Friday. Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com is joining us

01:02:52.880 now. Bill, let me, uh, let me take you to the, I think, must watch TV of the day. It's at five

01:03:00.480 o'clock, which is, you know, somebody else was very successful at that time. Um, but, uh, but Donald

01:03:07.160 Trump, I think is hitting this out of the park with these, these nightly, uh, you know, briefings

01:03:14.700 at five o'clock every, every night. And what's interesting to me is, uh, the numbers are so

01:03:22.220 huge. They have to be because the media doesn't want to cover them anymore. They're saying this

01:03:28.960 is just campaign rally. We don't think we should cut away from these. They're fantastic television

01:03:34.360 full of information and really shows how wrong the media is because you watch that and then you

01:03:41.880 watch them report. It's not the same thing. Well, a NPR station in Seattle, uh, bailed and they're not

01:03:49.180 going to cover them anymore. I understand there's a big debate in the corporations that run CNN and

01:03:56.460 MSNBC about carrying them. I think you're right that this helps Donald Trump and, uh, builds up his

01:04:04.020 credibility. You can see that in the polling, 60% feel he's doing a good job handling the virus.

01:04:09.580 Yep. Um, and as I said, if he gets it under control by summer, I can't see him losing at all,

01:04:18.060 no matter whether it's Biden or Cuomo because Cuomo, by the way, is, you know, setting himself up as the

01:04:24.460 virus candidate. Um, so you got to assume that the television media that despises Trump, that makes

01:04:33.260 all kinds of money hating him may bail out. They, they might do it and they'll obviously not be

01:04:40.320 doing it for any other reason than to try to hurt the president. Yeah. It's amazing to me because

01:04:46.940 there it's not just him. You have to get past his wonderful, marvelous. It's incredible. You got to

01:04:55.300 get past some of the superlatives he throws in all the time. But if you listen to the information

01:05:00.880 and you listen to the way he's handling this, uh, and then you listen to the experts, he, he's not

01:05:06.560 really taking things on. He'll, he'll just be like, you know, Bill, why don't you answer that?

01:05:11.780 Um, he's doing a, an exceptional job in my, in, in, in my point of view. And when you're watching it,

01:05:21.760 what part of that isn't essential information that you should have every single day? What part of that?

01:05:27.840 Well, the, the viewer should have the option of watching it or not. Yes. That's what, that's what

01:05:33.440 news is. So this is news. It was the president. He's talking about the virus. That's news. So

01:05:40.200 you're going to censor the news? Sure they would. They'd do it in a heartbeat if they felt to get

01:05:45.120 away with it. Uh, and they may do it. I do. I'm not as bullish on, uh, on, uh, the president as you

01:05:52.320 are. I think he used more precise language. We don't really hear they're really great people

01:05:59.800 50 times. I agree. I agree. Okay. But, uh, in the, in the very beginning of this, I had a

01:06:06.960 conversation. Um, I'm not going to tell you with whom, uh, but it was at the highest level. And I

01:06:13.420 said, this is what you got to do. Now I'm not taking credit for it. I'm sure his advisors

01:06:19.420 are telling him the same thing. Um, but by being a steady, that's the key word influence on the

01:06:29.980 nation, you can take it or leave it. If you're an American, you don't have to watch it. You can

01:06:35.660 watch American bandstand. Is that still on? I don't think so, but that's what I used to watch

01:06:40.340 at five o'clock. Um, so Bill, you know, it's interesting. I was watching cause I think Mike Pence

01:06:46.920 is doing a fantastic job, but if you watch it every night, Mike Pence is, is very much

01:06:53.360 cut from the cloth of a, of a politician, a regular politician. He's been very, yeah,

01:06:59.940 he's a bureaucrat. He's doing a great job. He's very, very positive, but you hear the same

01:07:06.760 things from him every day. He, he keeps giving the same positive message the same way every

01:07:13.280 day where what I think makes Donald Trump different is he's not prepared like that.

01:07:20.380 He doesn't do that stuff. Uh, and so it's just much more of a raw kind of, yeah, I'm, I'm hanging

01:07:31.660 out with you. Let me just tell you, got all these experts over here. I don't know. Susan,

01:07:36.240 come here. You talk about that. The more he does that, the more effective I think he becomes

01:07:43.060 because what I'm for the first time I'm seeing what it must be like to work for him when he's

01:07:50.840 building a very complex system, you know, when he's building some golf course, hotels, casinos,

01:07:58.500 and he's in a boardroom meeting, I'm seeing him for the first time as a guy who assembles a rock

01:08:04.720 solid team and then just shoots from the hip and respects what the people that he's assembled are

01:08:11.720 saying. You don't often see Donald Trump, um, in a, in a light where he's really respecting the people.

01:08:19.280 You just think he doesn't listen to anybody, which is not true. And you're seeing that he's

01:08:25.060 listening to these people and he respects them and they respect him. I think that's important.

01:08:30.240 I like Burks. Uh, he likes that doctor. Um, Pence always reminds me of the brill cream guy,

01:08:36.620 a little dabble, do you? The hair never moves. I love, I love the hair. And he looks the part and

01:08:42.360 he ran Indiana exactly what he's doing now. Very disciplined guy. He's not going to say anything.

01:08:48.400 He gets him in trouble. And then Trump is the exact opposite. He's going to come out, as you said,

01:08:52.660 uh, he's going to ruminate. He's going to, well, you know, maybe we'll do this, but maybe we won't.

01:08:59.320 And, and people are actually following and listening to what he says.

01:09:04.540 Whereas if you had Pence doing that.

01:09:05.700 And I think they, I think they understand him though, as well. I think that people,

01:09:12.360 if they're watching, understand what he's saying. And it's amazing. The people that are paid to watch

01:09:17.440 him, they don't listen to him because when he's talking about, Hey, April, this is clearly what

01:09:24.420 he would like to do. And he's preparing people for, it's all in context of, I'm going to try to lift

01:09:33.740 the spirits of the nation. But back, you know, we've discussed this on your fine radio program.

01:09:39.240 These correspondents that are sent out to cover Donald Trump each day are told what to do.

01:09:48.040 They're told, Oh, here's the story of the day. This is what you need to find out. So you're

01:09:54.100 absolutely right. They're not listening to what he's saying. They're trying to get in their question

01:09:59.200 to diminish him because that's what they've been ordered to do. Right.

01:10:05.580 So it's not like they're reporters trying to get the truth and listening to what is unfolding

01:10:10.940 before them. They've got their little list. Get them here. Get them there. Question this,

01:10:17.620 question that. Do you believe bill for the first time I have seen the, the news people in even a

01:10:26.620 worse light, uh, than I have before, uh, I'm seeing now in a national emergency,

01:10:34.580 something that we're, we're facing bigger than nine 11 and we're in a national emergency

01:10:40.560 and they are, it's almost as it's almost as if they are, are, they would rather see the country

01:10:49.560 burned down to the ground than have this guy right in any way, shape or form.

01:10:55.220 Well, certainly that is true for the New York times, the Washington post, a TNT that CNN and

01:11:01.560 Comcast SNBC. That is absolutely true. But even worse is the speculation. This might happen.

01:11:09.880 It could happen. We need 87,000 ventilators. No, we need 64,000. We need them. Why, where were they?

01:11:17.720 Why don't we have enough mass? Uh, did the guy eat a bat in Wuhan? I don't know, but he may have,

01:11:23.180 but no, it could have been made. And yet they won't, and yet they won't, they won't even give the

01:11:29.440 facts that the reason why we didn't have ventilators on hand is because Barack Obama used them in the

01:11:35.940 last emergency and then failed to replace them, which he was supposed to do. So we were down like

01:11:41.980 150 ventilate, 150,000 ventilators because he put them in use and then never replaced them after the

01:11:49.440 last, uh, virus square. Yeah. Right. But why would you give perspective to a news story? Why,

01:11:58.320 why would you do that? Number one, you do that. Yeah. The reporters don't even know that that's

01:12:03.120 all, you know, limited their frame of references. And number two, that goes against the order du jour,

01:12:08.820 the order of the day, get them on April, get them on Easter, get them on this, get them on

01:12:14.340 ventilators, get them on arguing with Cuomo, get them, get them, get them, get them, get them.

01:12:19.240 And that's what it's all about. So let me, let me ask you this. Cause we have, we gotta,

01:12:23.600 we gotta run. Um, you just brought up Cuomo setting himself up as the virus candidate. Uh,

01:12:30.460 I think, I think Joe Biden, man, he's looking worse than he's ever looked, but he's only getting

01:12:36.260 2000 people watching him on his little podcast thing. Anyway, it's, it's really sad. Yeah.

01:12:42.900 He ought to go down and look at your podcast and then go out, come on up and look at mine. Um,

01:12:47.980 because we have the most successful ones, but, uh, poor Joe, but that's all I can say is poor Joe.

01:12:54.080 I want, I want him on a, on a respirator just so he can't talk.

01:12:59.620 Right. So is there, it, it, do you think there's a chance that Cuomo comes in and he tries to make

01:13:06.020 the case and, and is at all successful of, of hijacking the convention? Cause I think that's

01:13:12.660 what they're hoping. Yeah. But I think Biden may get the 1,911 delegates he needs because Bernie

01:13:20.200 Sanders has blown up completely. So on June 2nd, that's the big, uh, primary that's going to put

01:13:25.720 him over the top. If he gets the delegates, then Andrew's got to wait four years. Uh, but Andrew

01:13:31.260 wants it. There's no doubt about it. Yeah. All right. Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com. Thank you

01:13:36.340 so much, sir. All right. God bless you.

01:13:48.380 whole quarantine thing that I'm, I'm guessing that you already have your pantry stocked with

01:13:53.420 the essentials, including toilet paper. And you were not one of those who were panicking,

01:13:56.980 uh, because you're listening to this, this show, uh, you're not, you know, sitting in the rocking

01:14:02.920 chair, whittling the piece of wood with a shotgun draped over your knees. At this point, you are

01:14:08.460 somebody that, uh, covers the bases. You think about what's happening. You think about how am I

01:15:27.760 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Look, we, uh, I want to talk to you about something we really

01:15:34.060 could use your help on. Um, we know that times are really tight, uh, and we know that people are

01:15:43.920 freaking out about what they're going to be doing next month and their jobs. And next week, I think

01:15:49.200 the job situation is going to be worse than it was this week. Uh, I think we're going to lose more

01:15:54.560 than 3 million jobs, uh, next week. Uh, and we are, we're currently working on a special on the

01:16:01.440 economy, all that you need to know, worst case, best case scenarios, and how to prepare for what

01:16:07.000 is coming. Uh, and we'll be ahead on this story, just like we have been on so many. Um, we were ahead

01:16:14.340 on the Covington kids in the last year. Think about what the blaze has, has done way ahead on the

01:16:20.400 Hunter Biden and Burisma thing. The Elon Omar Crowder has been right smack in the middle of

01:16:26.580 the YouTube Vox censorship scandal. Uh, Dave Rubin is on the leading edge of, uh, of first amendment

01:16:33.540 rights. The, you did such a great job of getting the word out on the Ukraine that we presented.

01:16:40.500 They made it into the president's impeachment defense. It's all because the blaze exists and

01:16:47.480 that's because of you. And we have built this to not be advertiser based. Although we do have a lot

01:16:55.680 of advertisers and those things are going to dry up. And, uh, also when your voice becomes important,

01:17:02.040 they attack you. And that's why we built it with subscriptions in mind, but we know it's tough

01:17:07.900 to subscribe right now. We're trying to make this the price of a cup of coffee, you know, a, a venti

01:17:14.540 latte, uh, at a Starbucks. So we're reducing the price, our biggest discount ever for $30 off. If

01:17:24.220 you subscribe for a year, you'll get $30 off. That is literally the cost of a, uh, venti latte

01:17:31.180 at Starbucks a month. It's five bucks and some change. This is so critical that Mark Levin's voice

01:17:42.800 is heard that Steven Crowder, that Dave Rubin, uh, that my voice, all of the voices that you hear

01:17:49.060 on the, on the blaze, we are growing at exponential rate, but we know time is times are tough for us.

01:17:57.880 We also know times are tough for you. So we're like to partner here. And while this crisis goes on,

01:18:04.680 we're going to offer this biggest discount ever $30 off, but we really need your support

01:18:10.480 at blaze tv.com slash Glenn. There's, um, there is something you can do in this crisis to save the

01:18:18.960 country. And I'm not saying that we're the only ones, uh, by any stretch of the imagination. If you

01:18:24.560 find no value in what we're doing, I mean, you shouldn't be listening, but if you find no value

01:18:29.040 in what we're doing, that's fine. Go find somebody that does inform you and support them. Uh, but we are

01:18:36.260 building, we are only behind Fox now. And I think we all know Fox where it is headed. Uh, I mean,

01:18:44.180 even the president is talking about it. Uh, I mean, they literally have emotional support cry rooms.

01:18:49.720 Now Roger Ailes would have lost his mind. I would have lost my mind. It's changed. Um, and we really

01:18:56.740 could use your support. Please go to blaze tv.com slash Glenn. We will make sure that we give you the

01:19:04.200 correct information, the correct perspective. Um, and we don't all agree with each other. So

01:19:10.760 there's going to be things that, you know, you're, you're going to have to think and use your own

01:19:14.580 brain, but that's what this is all about using your own brain and standing up independently and

01:19:19.940 standing up for our constitution blaze tv.com slash Glenn. Go there now subscribe. I asked that you

01:19:27.760 would subscribe. I think we bring a lot more value than five bucks a month to you and your family,

01:19:33.640 by the way, uh, is this worth five bucks today? Candace Owens speaks out about the Corona virus

01:19:40.980 and she is, uh, she's not in lockstep with the media. Candace Owens, a frank conversation

01:22:25.180 All right. Our coronavirus update for Friday. Uh, if you look at our coronavirus update, every,

01:22:41.280 every stat is locked in at five 30 in the morning, central time from John Hopkins university,

01:22:46.600 total confirmed cases worldwide, 542,000. That is up from 486. That's quite a jump. Total confirmed

01:22:59.080 deaths worldwide up 24,000, only 2000 worldwide. Total confirmed recovered worldwide, 125 up from 117.

01:23:10.120 5% cases are considered serious up from 4% yesterday, 7% of confirmed cases here in the United States.

01:23:19.460 However, do require hospitalization. Uh, the U S has 85,000 confirmed cases, 1,304 deaths up from 65,000

01:23:29.620 cases and a thousand deaths, uh, yesterday. So up about 300 United States of America now leads the world

01:23:37.280 in total confirmed cases with 4,409 more cases than China. We have officially 1800 official

01:23:47.080 recovered against the 1300 rounding the numbers off on deaths. So the big news yesterday was after

01:23:55.500 terrifying the world governments into committing financial suicide. The UK scientist has reduced his

01:24:02.320 death forecast by 95%. Now, Stu is the guy that I trust with all of the stats and everything else.

01:24:10.660 I asked him at the time that Al Gore came out with his global warming movie. I said, I'm going to go see

01:24:16.420 his movie. I'm going to go do my own research. Um, and Stu was like, Oh dear God, no, I came out of that

01:24:23.560 and I had a pretty good idea that, uh, of where I stood on it. But I said, Stu, I want you to look

01:24:30.760 at these stats, look at these facts and tear them apart. Show me where it's wrong. I'm going to say,

01:24:37.800 I don't know. I believe them. I'm not acting on them, but I want to see them proven or disproven.

01:24:44.640 And he's, that's what Stu really does best. You've read, you've read what he wrote. Uh, I've read what

01:24:53.660 he wrote. Um, is it fair to say he's not recanting? He's, he's pointing out that the lower part of his

01:25:04.860 scale is accurate. Yeah. It's been reported almost everywhere that he recanted his initial 260,000

01:25:11.580 people were going to die in Britain sort of projections. And now he's saying 20,000. So

01:25:16.120 that's, it would be reasonable to note that difference. It's pretty major. Um, how, however,

01:25:21.360 I think part of this is just a reporting issue. If you read his study, what he says is he, he gives

01:25:28.620 two different approaches. He gives multiple more than that, but the two that we're focusing on,

01:25:32.780 the two approaches were mitigation and suppression. Okay. Mitigation is sort of like the, uh, approach

01:25:40.680 that has been sort of the alternative approach. A lot of people on the right have suggested where

01:25:44.740 you would, um, you would, uh, isolation of suspect cases, home quarantine of those, um, who are living

01:25:51.560 in the household of suspect cases, social distancing of the elderly, elderly and other risk cases,

01:25:58.140 right? So not what we're doing now, but that kind of alternative approach where the elderly and the

01:26:03.740 sick would be isolated. Anyone who might have the disease would be isolated, but other people would be

01:26:08.540 able to kind of go about things a little bit more normally. That's mitigation. Suppression is kind

01:26:14.080 of what we're doing now, which is everybody's social distances. Um, you know, we isolate anyone

01:26:19.740 who has it. We isolate the household of people who have it. We, uh, we close schools. We call,

01:26:26.540 we close universities and everything like that much closer to what we're doing and what Britain's doing.

01:26:30.440 The way I took his comments. And I think is what he's saying is Britain has now implemented

01:26:36.120 the suppression strategy. So, which was his most draconian, right? And that one, his death count

01:26:42.480 was 20,000. Exactly what he put in the study. So what he's saying is we've now implemented the

01:26:48.700 thing I thought we should implement. And now the death count is going to be a lot lower. He's not

01:26:53.140 saying, oopsie doopsie. I said two 60 last time, and now it's only 20. Um, he changed strategies in

01:26:59.320 Britain. Right. But the, they hadn't really been in that, that lockdown for more than a couple of

01:27:06.540 days. Right. But what he says, so, I mean, no, it's true. And, and that's, he's saying that, uh,

01:27:11.220 the peak of this would be in two to three weeks, which is how long he said the suppression strategy

01:27:16.760 would, would take to actually go into effect. So it is, again, I don't, I'm not defending his

01:27:23.700 analysis here. I think he's off base. Um, and I don't believe the worst case scenario.

01:27:29.180 So I'm not saying he's right on this. I'm just saying, I don't think he recanted it.

01:27:32.620 He, he is, he's trying to walk this line, which he did outline pretty clearly in the study between

01:27:37.600 these two different approaches. I still think, I mean, I, we said this from the very beginning.

01:27:43.000 I think there's two major problems here. One, um, you know, I think his estimates are,

01:27:48.380 you know, sky is falling type estimates, but I mean, I, I'm not in this field. I'm sure he knows

01:27:52.680 more about it than I do, obviously. Um, secondarily though, there's a real problem with us

01:27:57.600 and the entire world is seemingly basing all of our decisions on this one model. Uh, and I think

01:28:03.500 what we've crazy, it just, it's just, you know, anybody, even if, you know, like the most honest

01:28:07.840 person with the, with the most information might not be right. And you don't blame these things

01:28:12.660 usually on one model. And it seems to be this model is what scared the hell out of everybody,

01:28:16.220 which is why we made these drastic changes. But to his point that I don't think he recanted it.

01:28:20.560 It really goes to show how we have to be so careful. You know, we were looking at these

01:28:28.920 models for global warming, uh, guys, this one, we at least know right away and we can pull back

01:28:36.800 and adjust global warming. We could spend ourselves into oblivion and have absolutely no idea the effects

01:28:45.680 none because they keep moving the goalposts and keep saying, well, you know, what we did there,

01:28:51.720 that, that worked. And so it's not going to happen for another 25 years. So we're, we're going to have

01:28:56.520 to keep pushing on. I mean, you, you just don't know, at least with this one, we'll know, but it,

01:29:01.860 it shows again how much we don't know. These guys were so absolutely positive. And as I said before,

01:29:10.780 and I, I want to make clear on this, I don't believe that this virus and nor have I ever

01:29:18.100 believed this virus was going to be as deadly as everybody worried. I have not been worried about

01:29:23.100 this virus. I have been worried about overwhelming the healthcare system. We don't want to overwhelm the

01:29:30.380 healthcare system. If we do that, we're into a whole nother kettle of fish that we just don't want

01:29:35.860 to get into. However, as I started to see what it's taking now, $6 trillion. And I think it's

01:29:45.140 actually more than that with what the fed has done before this, this is just $6 trillion between the

01:29:50.540 fed and the United States Congress. Those two packages this week were 6 trillion. I bet we're

01:29:56.060 closer to 10 trillion with everything that's been put into this. That's an awful lot of money. And

01:30:01.900 we've got to go back to work to be able to pay for some of this stuff. Uh, now let me go back to

01:30:08.640 England here for a second. Government guidelines, government guidelines at everybody separate,

01:30:15.020 including Boris Johnson, but Boris Johnson now has confirmed he has tested positive for COVID-19

01:30:21.120 over the last 24 hours. He said, I've developed mild symptoms and tested positive for Corona virus.

01:30:28.940 I'm now self isolating, but I'll continue to lead the government response via video conference as we

01:30:34.300 fight this virus. His, um, partner, Carrie Simons is pregnant. She'll also isolate for two weeks,

01:30:43.000 uh, together we'll beat this. He said in one of the most irresponsible things I've ever seen

01:30:51.300 news from Mexico. And this should concern every single American because Mexicans are going to pay

01:31:00.120 for this and they are going to start making a run for our border and overwhelm our healthcare system.

01:31:07.280 And nobody's going to stand up against that in Congress. And they should Mexicans are making their

01:31:14.240 own bed right now. And it's going to cost us possibly our healthcare system. If we don't guard against

01:31:22.020 it, the governor of the central Mexican state of Puebla told reporters yesterday, you ready?

01:31:30.680 The majority of people that are getting sick, I'm quoting are wealthy people. You know, if you're rich,

01:31:37.680 you're at risk, but if you're poor, well, no, us poor, we're immune.

01:31:46.960 What? Wait, so does the disease check the tax returns? How exactly is that?

01:31:54.300 Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. But how many poor people, uh, in Mexico who

01:32:00.980 are not paying attention because their government is not making a big deal out of this are just going

01:32:06.560 along with that and going, yeah, well, that's only a rich person's disease.

01:32:10.140 Yeah. I mean, the one thing that's interesting about this too, when going back to the projections

01:32:13.860 we were just talking about, we're not going to necessarily know the answer with the UK and the

01:32:18.980 US because we've taken sort of these more drastic steps. Places like Mexico and probably two thirds

01:32:24.580 of the globe have not. So we will see if this guy's projections wind up being true in places like

01:32:29.400 Mexico and in, uh, in the Middle East and, and, and Africa. Um, because these countries haven't done

01:32:35.700 anything. I mean, they're not, they're not, many of them are not doing any, even any testing.

01:32:39.620 You know, Mexico has 300 cases in their country of 129 million people. And it's across a border

01:32:46.080 where the most cases are in the world. It's obviously not true. And they're just ignoring

01:32:50.500 it at this point and hoping for the best.

01:32:51.980 Here's what we should be doing. Um, we should be having our national guard, uh, stand on the

01:32:59.580 border and, and have some sort of healthcare, some sort of healthcare facility in a tent or

01:33:06.980 something, uh, that is on just on the other side of the border. We should work with the Mexicans.

01:33:13.040 They should pay for it. But I mean, that is going to become a humanitarian crisis and every

01:33:20.000 bleeding heart is going to say, we've got to let them into our hospitals. No, we don't.

01:33:26.300 They've made their bed and they'll swamp our system. We will, we've already done all of this

01:33:33.480 and we've put ourselves in a situation where we might be in a depression. They did nothing.

01:33:39.940 They did nothing. And we, we can offer help and doctors can go down across the border when it starts

01:33:48.500 to hit them. If that's what they want to do, but we cannot have them flooding in and swamping us.

01:33:55.920 I'm sorry. Your country is your lifeboat. You chose incorrectly as a nation.

01:34:04.480 Um, all right. I love this story. Even in a pandemic, fake meat won't, uh, won't sell.

01:34:15.080 Apparently at grocery stores all across the, the, uh, country. I've seen these pictures

01:34:21.900 everywhere. Even in a crisis, people will not buy fake hot dogs.

01:34:30.960 I don't, I don't know that that's actually true. Uh, but, uh, cause I mean, they are projected to

01:34:36.540 make, you know, the market is like tripling every single year at the moment for these things,

01:34:42.260 but there's certainly a lot of people who will not buy them no matter what they'd rather die.

01:34:45.980 Yeah, no, it's those, those, you see the pictures of the shelves. Everything's gone.

01:34:51.720 All of the vegan and vegetarian stuff, all that fake meat still sitting there.

01:34:57.520 Everybody's like, man, I'm starving to death. Well, there's that stuff. Not that. That's crazy.

01:35:03.080 What are we? What are we in Somalia? I'm not eating that crap.

01:35:07.040 All right. There's your update for the day. Back in just a second.

01:35:14.260 Let me tell you, uh, some bad news here on cyber criminals. Cyber criminals have discovered

01:35:19.260 a way in the past week to hack into your wifi and literally steal your toilet paper.

01:35:25.020 No, that's not true. But if it were true, you'd do something about it. Wouldn't you?

01:35:29.560 America would be like, they're stealing toilet paper. What do I need to do?

01:35:33.700 Here's the thing. Cyber criminals are getting something more important than your toilet paper.

01:35:40.120 And this stimulus, I think is only going to make it worse because there's going to be all kinds of

01:35:44.880 people saying, oh, you have to click on this to be able to get the money. You got to do this. And

01:35:49.880 hey, we represent the government. There is a really easy solution to make sure that cyber criminals are

01:35:56.820 not stealing information from your device. You need Norton 360. Here's what you get a VPN,

01:36:03.460 a virtual private network to help block hackers from stealing personal information. And more

01:36:09.800 importantly, maybe, uh, companies from tracking your online activity. The government right now is

01:36:17.100 working with these companies to track everything that you're doing. It's not good. Also real time

01:36:24.440 device security for your devices, a safe cam to block people from being able to take over your webcam

01:36:30.280 privacy. Like you need it's Norton.com slash back. You get Norton's three 60. I just a few weeks ago

01:36:39.580 upgraded. I had the basic package. I just upgraded to the maximum package because I think it's worth

01:36:46.980 the extra money. Um, get the basic. It's great as well, but maybe I live in a different world. Uh,

01:36:54.280 Norton.com slash back. Do it now. Norton.com slash back 10 seconds. Station ID.

01:37:00.320 So there is some good news here. The justice department is getting involved in a federal

01:37:23.320 civil rights lawsuit that seeks to block transgendered athletes in Connecticut from

01:37:28.040 competing competing as girls. Uh, and it looks like schools, um,

01:37:35.780 schools must have certain biological males, namely those who particularly identify as female compete

01:37:44.160 against biological females in doing. So that deprives these women of a single sex athletic

01:37:50.140 competition that are, uh, one of the marquee accomplishments of, uh, title nine. So it looks like,

01:37:56.240 uh, they're weighing in on this and they're saying you can't treat trans athlete athletes as girls,

01:38:03.680 which I think is a celebrate, a celebratory moment for a lot of parents. And quite honestly,

01:38:10.420 a lot of girls who have worked really, really hard, uh, surging traffic on the internet is, uh,

01:38:17.980 slowing down the internet. I swear to you, if I lose my internet, I lose my mind. I lose my mind.

01:38:24.760 You, you're not alone on that one. I can't even imagine what this period is like back in the old

01:38:29.660 timey days. Uh, what would even go on? Uh, lot of sex, a lot of sex, um, uh, a lot of sex, a lot of

01:38:43.020 sex. Yeah. That's what would have been happening in the old timey days. That idea of the, uh, the old

01:38:47.060 baby boom. I think we're all so disgusted with each other at this point. It's probably not going to

01:38:50.560 happen, uh, this time. There's not going to be a Corona baby boom because we're all just like,

01:38:54.620 eh, honestly, I'd rather watch Tiger King. I bet there is a, I bet there is a Corona, uh,

01:39:02.260 virus baby boom. It'd be interesting to see. Um, I will tell you this. Uh, I was watching something

01:39:10.140 last night on Netflix and it started to slow down and I looked at Tonya and I went, Oh dear God,

01:39:16.040 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, it, can you imagine if you had, you know, rural

01:39:23.300 service, you didn't have high speed internet. Can you imagine what it's like in some of the,

01:39:29.660 some of the places in the country where it's still just not high speed? Holy cow, being trapped

01:39:36.120 there. Yeah, that would not be pretty trapped there. You got to go. You got to go outside.

01:39:41.660 Anyway, you can go outside. Imagine New York, you're trapped. You can't, if you live on the,

01:39:46.700 the, uh, you know, 40th floor of some skyscraper, you're not getting into the elevator with people.

01:39:53.820 You're not doing that. You have to go get food and things like that. I know.

01:39:58.160 So what are you doing? Tying a bandana around? I mean, it's got, it's a different world,

01:40:03.280 especially. I'm so glad. Yeah. Especially there. I am legend. Yeah, no, that's true. I, I, um,

01:40:08.680 I wonder it's one of the interesting things about this too, is people keep saying they have to be in

01:40:13.560 their house. And it's like, with our approach, you actually can be outside and do a lot of things

01:40:19.320 outside. We just hate it so much. Like we're, we're as Jim Gaffigan would say indoorsy as a people.

01:40:25.620 Uh, and, uh, we don't even like, I, I sometimes even forget it's an option to go outside.

01:40:30.760 I'm just like, wow, we can't, I know my wife, my wife said to my, my wife said to my son yesterday,

01:40:36.780 she's like, we are going for a drive. We're going outside. And my son said, I don't want to go

01:40:41.860 outside. And I looked at him and I said, I don't really either. I'm, I'm kind of with him. I mean,

01:40:49.240 we had air conditioning here. It's nice. I mean, the whole outside thing is a little overrated

01:40:55.320 in my opinion, you know, it gets too hot or it's too cold. I can control everything inside. I just

01:41:03.460 need a hollow deck, make us feel like we're outside and then feel like we're in a spaceship

01:41:09.240 or, you know, fighting aliens or something. I could live in the game world. Oh yeah. Ready player one.

01:41:15.420 That's me. You're listening to Glenn Beck. All right. Then zip recruiter, despite all of the ravages

01:42:41.000 This is the Glenn Beck program. We're so glad you're here. Um, you know, there's a couple of

01:42:54.260 essential businesses, if you will, that are being closed down that I think should be marked as

01:42:59.580 essential. One is our faith centers and not saying that we all should be going into church,

01:43:05.260 but we have to remember that faith is essential to the American people. Um, the other one that is

01:43:12.400 much more clear cut on remaining open, that is a gun store, especially when you have the, the

01:43:21.120 governments all around our country, just letting prisoners out. What? I don't even understand that

01:43:28.800 isn't shelter in place. The perfect place to do that in prison. How is this not a, uh, how is,

01:43:37.760 how is releasing prisoners a good idea? I really don't understand that. Then on top of it, they're

01:43:44.800 closing the gun stores. And on top of that, they're telling us, Oh, well, our first responders

01:43:50.220 are going to be swamped with calls. Well then who's going to protect you? We have John lot on John is

01:43:56.820 John is, he's really truly a national treasure. He is probably one of, I would say this directly,

01:44:04.100 he is the most important voice when it comes to, uh, guns, gun crime, gun statistics. And that's why

01:44:12.160 he's despised by people, uh, on the left because he's no pun intended bulletproof with his stats.

01:44:19.720 He is the president of crime prevention research center. Welcome to the program, John lot jr. How are you,

01:44:25.000 sir? Oh, great to talk to you again, Glenn. You bet. Um, so tell me what your thoughts are on,

01:44:32.280 on, you know, places like LA saying, no, a gun store is not essential.

01:44:38.540 Right. Well, I mean, people are concerned about what will happen to the social order. I mean,

01:44:44.120 we have kind of a perfect storm in the sense that prisoners are being released from prison because of

01:44:49.700 the concern that some people may be particularly susceptible in closed spaces to gain the disease.

01:44:55.000 Uh, we're not arresting people because they don't want to have new people put into the prison system,

01:45:00.860 uh, in police departments across the country. Uh, you have two things that are happening. One is that

01:45:07.900 many police departments simply aren't responding to many types of calls, uh, from victims because

01:45:15.000 they don't, they want to limit the exposure that the police are receiving. Some departments like

01:45:21.320 Los Angeles have issued gloves and goggles and face masks to police. But the thing is,

01:45:27.260 when you're dealing with the rough and tumble of, uh, actually arresting a criminal, uh, you know,

01:45:34.240 just because you have a face mask on doesn't mean it's going to stay there at the end of the process

01:45:39.060 that you have. Um, and, uh, you know, it's, you also have a fair number of police who are getting

01:45:47.260 the illness themselves right now. And, uh, and so you're going to have fewer police officers available

01:45:53.640 to, uh, to be called on. So you make it less for criminals. You have states now and counties that are

01:46:05.000 starting to close down, uh, these gun stores. I think it's surprising what happened in Illinois,

01:46:11.160 uh, where the governor did the exact opposite. Right. Yeah. Well, there are a couple of states

01:46:18.540 now where you've had fairly strong, uh, gun control advocate, uh, democratic governors who have

01:46:25.760 actually allowed, uh, gun stores to, to keep operating, but you have a large number, uh, in major

01:46:33.360 states like New York and New Jersey and, uh, and other places, which, uh, have made it impossible

01:46:39.720 for people to be able to go and buy guns, uh, for protection. And, uh, you know, they've, and they've,

01:46:47.180 in some of the states where the state actually operates the background check system, uh, you don't

01:46:52.860 directly go to the federal system. Uh, they've just refused to process any more, uh, purchases.

01:46:59.520 Yeah. Somebody told me they were trying to buy a gun here in, uh, Texas recently. And they said that

01:47:07.260 it, they were told it's a, almost a month's wait to get it, uh, uh, through the system. And, uh, I,

01:47:14.900 that's what they said. I don't know if that's true, but that's crazy if it is.

01:47:21.160 Yeah. I've talked to a number of, uh, licensed dealers and they've told me that it's just impossible

01:47:26.860 to get through the system right now. When they call up, uh, the line's busy and, um, you know,

01:47:35.340 I assume that's occurring across the country there. People now, is that, is that because people are

01:47:40.640 going out and buying guns or, you know, during the Obama administration, that was happening a lot too.

01:47:46.340 Uh, and during the Clinton administration, you'd talk to people who were, you know, uh, gun store

01:47:51.000 owners and they said, boy, the day George Bush was, uh, elected, all of a sudden, all those phone

01:47:56.360 problems went away. Is that the same thing? Or is this just because they're overwhelmed?

01:48:02.200 I think it's largely because they're overwhelmed, but of course the system can break down when they

01:48:06.620 have a huge number of calls going into the, to the system there. But, uh, you know, uh, we know,

01:48:14.280 uh, ammunition sales, for example, uh, in the last three weeks have probably gone up about,

01:48:19.880 uh, 300% from what they were, uh, in the three weeks prior to that. Uh, one can only assume that

01:48:28.180 maybe gun sales have been going up similarly over that period of time. But, you know, one thing just

01:48:33.540 to mention about the police is you and I can telecommute to do our jobs. I mean, you could go and do

01:48:40.840 your, uh, job, uh, from your home. Uh, but police officers don't have that option. They have to,

01:48:47.560 they can't, they have to actually come in physical contact with, uh, criminals and that allows them

01:48:54.600 to face risks in terms of the disease that, uh, you and I and many others don't have to worry about.

01:49:02.080 So John, is any of this going to be corrected? Assuming this virus passes without any kind of real

01:49:07.520 problems, um, are, are we going to be able to take the states to court about this, to be able to

01:49:14.520 fix this and shore this up? Or do they have a right to just shut all this stuff down when it comes to

01:49:19.960 gun stores and guns? Right. Well, I mean, there are a number of court cases. Uh, these things take

01:49:26.340 time to wind through, uh, and it's been kind of a mixed bag so far. Uh, the Pennsylvania state Supreme

01:49:34.000 court, uh, which is almost completely dominated by Democrats voted four to three that the state

01:49:40.860 was allowed to go and shut down the gun stores that were there. Um, uh, you know, I think the

01:49:48.940 federal courts, uh, Trump, while he's accomplished a lot in the courts, he's only kind of brought it

01:49:55.480 into balance. The democratic nominees had so completely dominated the courts prior to him being

01:50:01.160 there. People talk about the number of federal judges that he's put on. But, um, if you look at

01:50:06.960 the circuit courts, uh, 24 of the states are in circuits where Democrats have a majority and 26

01:50:13.340 are in, uh, in states where Republicans now have a majority. And so the states, which are most likely

01:50:21.320 to put these types of restrictions on are the heavily blue states. And they tend to be in those

01:50:28.240 circuits like the ninth circuit, for example, which are still dominated by Democrats.

01:50:34.600 So, uh, John, um, as you're, as you're looking at what's happening with the, uh, with the situation

01:50:44.200 with guns, what should the average person do and know today?

01:50:50.520 Well, I mean, I think just as you have a fire extinguisher, because something might

01:50:58.160 happen, a fire might occur. Uh, we're not talking about the zombie apocalypse right now,

01:51:03.840 but people have concerns about their safety. If police can't respond, uh, to calls either because

01:51:11.280 the police officers aren't there or because, uh, they're simply limiting the number of calls that

01:51:16.680 they're willing to take because they don't want to expose the officers. People have to be able to

01:51:21.020 go and protect themselves. Um, you know, if you make it less risky for criminals to go and commit

01:51:27.240 crime, they're going to go and commit more crimes than they would have otherwise.

01:51:30.980 And that's, that's happening. They're, they're already in Philadelphia and other places saying

01:51:35.320 we're not going to prosecute for, you know, certain things. Wait a minute, what?

01:51:40.260 Right. I mean, they giving them a license, right? If you steal up to a thousand dollars in some

01:51:46.140 places, you're not going to be prosecuted. You have these, uh, district attorneys, uh, that George

01:51:52.960 Soros and others have supported to get in there and, and they, you know, you, you can have these

01:52:00.100 horrific videos of people just going into the stores and taking stuff off the shelves because they know

01:52:06.060 that they're not going to get into serious trouble, uh, for doing that. Criminals are like anybody else.

01:52:11.860 If you make it less risky, less costly for them to go and do something, they're going to do more of it.

01:52:19.780 John Lott, thank you so much. Appreciate it. The president of Crime Prevention Research Center,

01:52:23.900 John Lott Jr. Thank you. Appreciate it. Uh, all right. We have, uh, we have something important to

01:52:31.360 share with you coming up in just a second. And, and I'm interviewing somebody who the, the left will

01:52:37.140 say is very controversial, but I think they're just saying common sense. And that interview is

01:52:41.460 coming up today. We'll talk about it, uh, in just a second. Uh, first let's take a, just take a minute,

01:52:50.300 stop to think about the things that you used to do that you don't do anymore. There's some really good

01:52:55.580 things that, you know, I don't do anymore drinking, um, that weren't, weren't helpful.

01:53:00.840 As you get older, you can start adding to those things, the things that you want to do,

01:53:06.360 but you can't anymore because you don't feel well. You just don't, you're just not as strong

01:53:11.080 as you used to be. And your pain, I'm not going skateboarding anytime soon. Uh, things that you

01:53:58.620 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:54:13.080 Today on, uh, the Friday exclusive for blaze TV subscribers, only, uh, sit down chat with,

01:54:22.740 uh, the one and only Candace Owens. Uh, she's going to be on with us, uh, and I'm going to be

01:54:28.640 spending about a half hour commercial free with her just talking about the Corona virus. She has a

01:54:34.000 really controversial look. If you're listening to the media, she's just wondering, do we have the data

01:54:39.260 to, uh, to, to do what, what we're doing to our country? Um, is this the right thing to do?

01:54:48.800 Uh, we'll talk to her about the Corona virus, what you should know and how we should be thinking

01:54:54.120 about it. According to Candace Owens today, uh, on the Friday exclusive again, only for blaze

01:55:00.380 subscribers right now. If you're not a blaze subscriber, now is the perfect time to subscribe

01:55:05.240 our biggest discount ever. We're doing a, um, a blaze subscription drive for the Corona virus.

01:55:12.280 Uh, you can get $30 off your year long membership that works out to be about five bucks and some

01:55:18.520 change every single month. It is so well worth, uh, your, your money of paying five bucks a month.

01:55:27.140 If you only watch one show, it's worth that. That's the price of a, what a latte, a venti latte,

01:55:33.500 uh, at a Starbucks. It's worth it. Um, and this is really, I think service to your fellow man

01:55:42.200 in your country because of the voices we have assembled. We have Steven Crowder. We have,

01:55:47.560 uh, uh, Mark Levin, my show, Dave Rubin, Stu show, Pat show. Um, uh, we have the, um,

01:55:58.040 pseudo intellectual Lauren Chen, uh, is part of our network. We have Chad Prather. We have,

01:56:05.120 uh, Phil Robertson, you, you name it. We have them. Uh, and we thank you so much for your

01:56:13.600 subscription. And we would ask that you would become a member, a team member with us and help

01:56:20.880 us get this information out. Uh, you can subscribe now at blaze tv.com slash Glenn. Use the promo code

01:56:27.780 Glenn. Yeah, no, uh, 30 bucks off is more than they've ever done. If you're going to be at home

01:56:31.780 watching a lot of quarantine TV, it's a nice little offer to take advantage of. But I know

01:56:35.840 one of the things you talked about for a long time, Glenn was trying to get all of those voices in the

01:56:39.940 same place where they would be protected from the media cycles and the outrage brigades and all of

01:56:45.500 that. And that's kind of what is, has gone on here. I mean, we've seen the impact not only with,

01:56:50.980 uh, stuff that you've done, but you know, that Mark has done and so many others and Steven

01:56:54.960 Crowder, uh, you know, so many others. You, you look at that and you say, we hear that back from the

01:57:00.620 people in Washington all the time, uh, that they have, you know, heard or seen things, uh, on the

01:57:06.420 network that they've wound up using in, in not only in backdoor meetings, but also in, uh, in front

01:57:11.860 of the cameras. Um, and it's moved, you know, it's moved policy. It's moved, as you pointed out, the

01:57:16.640 president's, uh, impeachment defense, impeachment included a lot of the things that we've talked

01:57:21.360 about. Um, it's one of those situations where I think, uh, getting everybody together and giving,

01:57:28.100 you know, look, it's an obviously a really good value for all of those shows for five bucks a

01:57:31.980 month. But I mean, beyond that, it actually has an impact and you can't do that, uh, nearly as

01:57:37.600 easily when you're trying to do it as a solo person. It's, it's a lot more difficult to do it.

01:57:41.940 And so, you know, I think it's a, it's a really good value. And if you can save 30 bucks, you can do

01:57:46.080 it now. Yeah. And I want you to know, I thought of this today, cause I'm really trying to be

01:57:50.880 responsible with your money and my money and everything else. And I just want to point this out. I never

01:57:55.700 even thought of this until, until today. Um, you know, I'm doing, uh, some massive renovation on

01:58:02.300 our, on our studio. It's a massive complex. I want you to know that's not a blaze property. So none of

01:58:08.640 that money is coming from blaze subscriptions. Um, if, if anybody was wondering, we are really,

01:58:13.940 really, really frugal, uh, with, with your money. Cause we know how hard you worked for it.

01:58:20.440 It goes to put these shows on the air, uh, and that's it. And, uh, our standards have gone way,

01:58:26.880 way up. Uh, and we've become very, very cautious with your money. And especially now, I mean,

01:58:33.800 we never wasted money, but especially now we know the value of a dollar and we know how tough it is

01:58:40.340 to survive and we are built to survive, but we're only built to survive. If you subscribe,

01:58:46.700 uh, this whole model was built. So media matters could come to any of us and try to get us kicked

01:58:53.580 off the air. And we didn't have to worry about it because we only answer to you. Um, we have taken

01:59:00.100 advertising dollars and those dollars are fairly stable, but this is going to make a gigantic impact.

01:59:07.880 Uh, and I don't even know, uh, I don't even know how some media is going to stay in business. Um,

01:59:15.700 because it, it all has to do with local advertising, national advertising, uh, and what we're facing

01:59:23.200 is pretty grim. So our biggest discount ever, it's like five bucks and I don't know, 50 or 80 cents,

01:59:30.300 uh, a month now it's well, well worth it. Our biggest discount ever go to blaze tv.com.

01:59:37.400 Slash Glenn, use the promo code Glenn and get that discount and become a member of the team.

01:59:43.600 It's blaze tv.com promo code Glenn.

01:59:50.440 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
