The Glenn Beck Program - We’re Becoming a Police State ｜ Guest： Rep. Thomas Massie ｜ 4⧸9⧸20

00:00:00.000 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:09.440 Hello, America, and welcome. It's Thursday. Nearly a third of U.S. apartment renters did not pay rent in April.

00:00:19.640 We are now looking at probably the the biggest eviction and biggest mortgage failure in global history.

00:00:30.000 Headed our way. The IRS says they are speeding up the check printing and delivery.

00:00:36.320 They are ahead of schedule. They said that those who are waiting for cash, it should begin coming early next week for the direct deposit checks.

00:00:46.820 Those who have filed electronically in the past with the IRS, you're going to get it electronically deposited right into your bank.

00:00:55.240 Others are going to have to wait for as long as a couple of weeks.

00:01:00.720 The first paper checks mailed started on April 20th.

00:01:06.320 So it's coming. Just not fast enough for some.

00:01:10.860 The unemployment numbers are out this week.

00:01:14.160 New jobless claims.

00:01:15.900 6.5 million.

00:01:19.860 We won't know until the first week of May what the real unemployment number is.

00:01:25.620 Remember, we were in the threes before this started.

00:01:29.680 We could be around 12 or 15 percent unemployment in our nation, going from one of the best to one of the worst in three weeks time.

00:01:40.840 So what caused all this?

00:01:44.880 Where are we? What are we doing?

00:01:46.560 Who are we transforming into?

00:01:48.660 We begin there in one minute.

00:01:53.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:54.940 There are three guarantees in life, death, taxes, and your car will break down after the warranty expires when you least can afford to deal with it.

00:02:05.860 And I don't know about you, but that would be right now.

00:02:08.200 I mean, it's never a good time to pay for car repair.

00:02:10.540 It's never like, oh, man, and I just got a check from my dead aunt for five grand.

00:03:27.180 Michael Burry, he's the guy who was the focus of the big short.

00:03:44.080 He says that this what we are dealing with right now.

00:03:51.200 The universal stay at home is the most devastating economic force in modern history. 1.00

00:03:56.700 He says it's manmade.

00:03:58.880 It suddenly reversed the gains of underprivileged groups, kills and creates drug addicts, beats and terrorizes women and children in violent now jobless households and more.

00:04:10.400 It bleeds deep anguish and suicide.

00:04:14.280 That's probably the the most accurate description of what has happened.

00:04:20.260 We are we are in a place that none of us saw coming just a few weeks ago.

00:04:28.060 I have been warning since this became serious in China that it was not the actual virus that would would be something that we should worry about.

00:04:40.980 It would be the consequences and the the great depression that would come after.

00:04:46.740 And we are headed that way.

00:04:49.180 But we are also doing things by choice that we have got to stop doing.

00:04:56.640 I mean, we've talked about China for years now and the way China enslaves their people. 0.94

00:05:02.260 And they are 1984 and we've been a brave new world.

00:05:07.400 We're sliding into it.

00:05:08.780 Thanks to technology, we're sliding into this this slave state or this surveillance state.

00:05:18.060 Big brother.

00:05:19.320 And we're doing it.

00:05:21.040 We're asking for it now.

00:05:22.860 There is a experiment going on with the American people right now.

00:05:28.460 How far can we push the American people on their civil liberties?

00:05:34.020 How far can we do it?

00:05:37.520 Unfortunately, pretty far.

00:05:40.900 Pretty far.

00:05:41.480 We are teaching everyone the wrong lesson.

00:05:44.860 All of these politicians are learning the wrong lesson from us.

00:05:49.500 Last Thursday, Google announced its community mobile reports program.

00:05:54.580 It's completely harmless.

00:05:56.380 Google is just providing government leaders data on where people are traveling during the pandemic.

00:06:02.020 You know, for your safety.

00:06:04.220 Now, they say this is all anonymous.

00:06:08.360 Uh-huh.

00:06:09.400 Uh-huh.

00:06:10.340 Google is providing data for states and counties to help governments understand how well stay-at-home orders are working, among other things.

00:06:20.160 Google insists the government cannot track you individually.

00:06:26.080 Uh-huh.

00:06:27.260 Uh-huh.

00:06:28.140 Here's the latest from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

00:06:32.900 Kansas, a state, is tracking individuals using a GPS tracking platform called Unicast.

00:06:43.660 Kansas is tracking individuals and their locations through their cell phones.

00:06:49.760 They're using this program to grade counties on their social distancing effectiveness.

00:06:54.640 So far, 45 out of 105 counties got an F grade.

00:06:58.380 The state average is a C.

00:07:00.240 Unicast gets its location data from other applications on your phone.

00:07:06.480 So it's not legally required to notify you that you're being tracked by the government of Kansas.

00:07:14.000 If Kansas can figure this out, I'm pretty sure the federal government can find the loopholes.

00:07:20.060 Did we ever give our government, our local, our state, our federal government, permission to track us and where we are at all times?

00:07:36.960 Do you remember the outcry when local police were putting GPS tracking devices underneath the cars of suspects?

00:07:46.560 Do you remember what we used to say?

00:07:48.640 How wrong that is?

00:07:50.740 If you don't have a court order?

00:07:55.660 Now our government is using cell phone data to track people.

00:07:59.200 You know who else does that?

00:08:01.300 China.

00:08:02.820 And we don't seem to care.

00:08:04.980 Now let me tell you what China is doing. 1.00

00:08:06.940 China has now required all of their citizens and tell me this isn't coming our way. 1.00

00:08:12.800 I'm telling you this is absolutely coming our way.

00:08:16.320 They're now requiring their citizens to install an app on their smartphone,

00:08:20.060 which dictates whether they're allowed to move around in public.

00:08:23.800 Each person is assigned a QR code through the app, green, yellow or red.

00:08:30.100 And that indicates your health status.

00:08:33.340 Green lets people move around freely.

00:08:36.760 Yellow means you may be confined to home for seven days.

00:08:40.820 Red means a two week quarantine.

00:08:43.780 So far, the Chinese government has not even told their own people how they classify people.

00:08:50.060 Reports of people with red codes who have no symptoms of coronavirus,

00:08:57.780 have never been tested for it, are rampant.

00:09:01.460 By the way, there is no way to get your code changed in China.

00:09:05.820 But here, I'm sure when Google or whoever else develops this app for the United States,

00:09:12.400 I'm sure there will be a very simple way so you can figure out why you've been categorized red or yellow.

00:09:23.200 Now, China is using this color code app.

00:09:26.840 It shares the personal data with police.

00:09:30.520 The New York Times has described this and talked about a similar system in the U.S.

00:09:35.820 That would be used by the CDC, hooking up with Amazon or Facebook apps to track the symptoms

00:09:44.980 and then start sharing that data with your sheriff's office.

00:09:51.500 How long before one of these governors says, you know what, we need a color-coded phone app

00:09:57.880 that tells you when you can leave your home or go to the store?

00:10:00.240 How long will it take before one of them hear this story and go, well, that's a good idea.

00:10:06.660 We need that.

00:10:07.720 It's for the people's safety.

00:10:14.060 We are becoming a police state.

00:10:19.880 And if you think that these local police departments that are ordering all these drones,

00:10:24.660 the drone companies cannot keep up with the requests for drones from U.S. police departments.

00:10:33.940 If you think they're going to give up those drones after this is over, you're fooling yourself.

00:10:40.520 Now, the Chinese government is offering $300 to anybody who reports on neighbors attending social events,

00:10:50.260 refusing quarantine, running a fever.

00:10:54.000 Lower payments are offered for information about people trading wild animals, price gouging,

00:10:59.520 you know, hosting family members visiting from another city.

00:11:02.740 Oh, my gosh.

00:11:03.680 Those darn communists turning neighbor against neighbor.

00:11:07.000 Good thing that's not happening.

00:11:12.580 Oops.

00:11:13.440 It's happening all over the country.

00:11:17.800 One of the worst things that we exposed last night on our Wednesday night special,

00:11:22.940 if you're a subscriber to The Blaze, you can watch it now.

00:11:25.680 It's a really good episode.

00:11:26.820 We talked about China and what they're doing, where this came from, all of the all of the evidence on how this did come from experimentation in laboratories in Wuhan.

00:11:41.720 But one of the worst things we talked about here in the United States was the business ambassador program in Los Angeles.

00:11:49.640 Stu, I don't know if you've heard of this.

00:11:51.620 This is one of the this one of the worst things I've heard this.

00:11:56.540 We are going to so regret everything that we're allowing to happen right now.

00:12:02.860 Los Angeles has a business ambassadors program.

00:12:06.860 They deploy city workers and volunteers with the mayor's crisis response team to businesses that appear to be out of compliance with the emergency order and with a goal of securing voluntarily compliance.

00:12:23.060 If voluntary compliance is not achieved, the ambassadors then just share information with the city attorney and the LAPD for follow up.

00:12:34.580 The business ambassadors have visited 540 noncompliant businesses so far.

00:12:41.560 144 have received a visit from the L.A. police.

00:12:45.780 Businesses are referred to the police for misdemeanor filings.

00:12:50.200 This is insane.

00:12:54.740 And if you know anything at all about history, we are just repeating one of the darkest times in American history.

00:13:02.720 In Minnesota, the government has a hotline that social distance warriors can tattle on their neighbors.

00:13:09.600 Washington State has a website to report businesses that are violating the stay at home order.

00:13:14.320 If you want to, you know, rat on Bob, the neighbor down the street that's having a barbecue that you weren't invited to, you can go to the website.

00:13:22.740 They're asking people all over the country.

00:13:25.780 One lady in Connecticut got a golf course shut down after she saw people on the golf course. 0.89

00:13:32.920 And she said people are dying and these people are out on the golf course and the state of Connecticut shut the golf course down because of one lady. 0.85

00:13:43.500 What is wrong with us?

00:13:48.640 How are we possibly OK with this?

00:13:52.960 Rhode Island, the governor there, a Democrat, took the National Guard and had him go door to door with state police doing a search of people's houses.

00:14:03.160 Papers, please.

00:14:04.980 Do you have any one from New York in your house?

00:14:07.500 Yeah.

00:14:07.780 So we've had some reports from neighbors.

00:14:12.820 What country are we living in?

00:14:16.760 And and the only reason why this isn't a big deal is because these are Democrat governors that are doing this.

00:14:24.380 These states that are doing the worst are Democrat governors.

00:14:28.180 You were worried about a totalitarian state.

00:14:30.700 How do I don't know?

00:14:32.060 What would you say if Donald Trump said we're going to use the National Guard and we're going to go door to door to see if there's anybody.

00:14:37.600 Somebody from Mexico in these houses. 1.00

00:14:39.500 What do you think you'd say?

00:14:41.880 Well, you're doing it now.

00:14:44.480 Your governors are doing it door to door searches for somebody who just doesn't belong there.

00:14:53.200 I'm going to give you the worst time in American history.

00:14:55.620 And we've already we've already achieved equal status.

00:15:00.900 Now, how far down this road are we going to go?

00:15:03.180 Of course, it involves Woodrow Wilson.

00:15:06.560 I'll give it to you here in just a second.

00:15:19.560 Wouldn't it be nice if one day we could take all the cyber criminals, line them up in the street and then beat them with reads?

00:15:25.840 Oh, man.

00:15:27.660 I mean, sure.

00:15:28.480 Some of them might be innocent, but man, that would be good, wouldn't it?

00:15:33.400 Give me back my uncle's identity as we beat him.

00:15:36.440 Oh, man.

00:15:37.880 Someday.

00:15:38.660 Someday, America.

00:15:40.300 Data breaches are an unsecured Wi-Fi.

00:15:45.740 Are leading now to millions of people's personal information being available.

00:15:51.220 Cyber criminals are having a field day.

00:15:52.840 We are all online all the time and our children are online all the time.

00:16:01.500 It's important to understand how cyber crime is affecting our lives.

00:16:44.160 Station ID.

00:16:44.580 Yeah, you know what I really like?

00:17:01.640 What I really like is the use now of ankle bracelets.

00:17:07.460 Now, seriously, the ankle bracelet thing in Kentucky, that's wonderful.

00:17:12.080 If you decide that you don't want to, you know, stay at home, don't worry about it.

00:17:19.140 Seriously, don't worry about it.

00:17:20.520 You're going to be.

00:17:21.100 It's fine.

00:17:22.320 It's fine.

00:17:24.180 We'll just put an ankle bracelet around your leg.

00:17:28.980 This has happened before.

00:17:31.240 And it is in America that scared the living daylights out of Americans, and they ran as fast as they could from progressives.

00:17:47.360 During World War I, the Justice Department under Wilson formed the American Protective League.

00:17:56.100 This is one of those things that you don't ever learn about in school because, well, it was a progressive that did it.

00:18:02.680 The American Protective League.

00:18:05.140 By the end of the war in 1918, it had 250,000 badge-wearing members across the country.

00:18:15.060 Now, they were looking for enemies.

00:18:17.160 Enemies of the state.

00:18:18.000 Anybody who was saying anything bad about the war, anybody who was saying anything bad about the president or America or the American Protective League, they spied.

00:18:31.020 They intimidated.

00:18:32.260 They read neighbors' emails, listened in on neighbors' telephone calls, all in an effort to root out the enemy.

00:18:41.240 The United States government found their enemies.

00:18:45.960 Oh, those local busybodies, man.

00:18:48.760 They carried a badge, and they were going to find the bad guys.

00:18:52.120 And, oh, they did.

00:18:54.120 175,000 neighbors.

00:18:57.160 There's 250,000 badge-wearing members.

00:19:01.260 Almost all of them found at least one enemy.

00:19:05.200 175,000 citizens were arrested.

00:19:08.360 Most of them for a little more than saying, I don't care what the hell your badge says.

00:19:18.880 This is what we're doing again.

00:19:22.240 We just haven't deputized people.

00:19:24.160 We're just giving them money.

00:19:25.260 That's even worse.

00:19:29.420 The one thing that Americans have always had is a love for our neighbor.

00:19:34.780 Our neighbor was not the Stasi.

00:19:38.600 If you don't know what the Stasi is, read my new book, Arguing with Socialists.

00:19:44.340 The Stasi is the secret police in East Germany.

00:19:48.580 The socialists love secret police.

00:19:51.320 They love informants.

00:19:52.980 They love it.

00:19:53.600 Any big government has got to turn part of the population against the other part of the population.

00:20:00.420 Because then you never know.

00:20:02.420 Then you stop.

00:20:03.640 It is the next step in political correctness.

00:20:06.700 Political correctness happens.

00:20:09.020 And it's just kind of a thing where it's just, you know, social shame.

00:20:15.380 Then it steps up to where you can lose your job.

00:20:19.160 You can lose your status.

00:20:20.520 You can lose your place in society.

00:20:22.520 Then the next thing is, you get your friends and your children to rat on you.

00:20:29.240 You know, mom and dad are still teaching.

00:20:32.200 Mom and dad still say, well, we haven't gotten to our children quite yet.

00:20:39.720 But we're now at the neighbor level.

00:20:43.360 America, wake up.

00:20:45.220 This is way, way, way beneath us.

00:20:48.260 We have much better things to do than rat on each other.

00:20:53.680 What do you say we all roll up our sleeves and put America back to work?

00:20:59.160 Why don't we help each other now and then go back to work in the next few weeks?

00:21:05.240 I think there's going to be an explosion of goodwill, an explosion of hard work, an explosion of capital being pounded into our economy if we just keep our head together.

00:21:21.160 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:21:24.980 All right.

00:21:25.920 So hold up in the house.

00:21:27.840 You've got to have something to do.

00:21:29.700 I have finished all of my my my family is melting down.

00:21:33.240 Is anybody else anybody, anybody, anybody, anybody for a couple of teenagers?

00:21:39.580 Can't get anybody to agree on anything.

00:21:41.920 Nothing.

00:21:43.460 I'm just ready to just assign jobs.

00:21:46.020 Hey, guess who's painting the front of the house?

00:21:48.060 And I don't care what color you paint it.

00:21:49.960 You're out painting it today.

00:21:52.700 Holy cow. 0.89

00:21:54.040 One thing you can do is blinds blinds.

00:21:57.520 You don't have to leave your house with blinds dot com.

00:22:00.140 Blind shade shutters drapes.

00:22:01.720 You can do it all.

00:23:25.140 Oh, man.

00:23:26.740 Wow.

00:23:27.480 OK, so, you know, I feel so bad for anybody who lives in a very small house or a an apartment in New York.

00:23:35.940 I'm surprised they're just not all killing each other at this point.

00:23:38.820 Yeah, it is.

00:23:40.940 It is.

00:23:41.640 I have a you know, I have a nice house with the backyard and everything else.

00:23:45.140 But it is so confining.

00:23:47.840 It is.

00:23:48.480 It just three weeks is enough.

00:23:51.500 You're kind of, you know, it's like, I got to get out of here.

00:23:55.620 Yeah, it is crazy.

00:23:57.700 Here's the good news, though.

00:23:59.040 The good news is you only have another 18 months to go, according to Ezekiel manual.

00:24:04.500 Just another 18 months.

00:24:05.960 And then we're done with this.

00:24:07.080 So don't worry about it.

00:24:08.060 America would never.

00:24:09.100 America.

00:24:09.780 America will not.

00:24:11.480 I'll be dead.

00:24:12.120 We'll all be dead in 18 months.

00:24:14.440 Yeah, we would.

00:24:15.140 We would.

00:24:15.720 We would.

00:24:16.120 And let me tell you something.

00:24:17.800 There's no way that we go back.

00:24:20.200 They're talking now that, you know, probably in November, we're all going to have to go back in for the winter.

00:24:24.400 No way.

00:24:24.800 No, no way.

00:24:25.440 People are just not going to do it.

00:24:26.900 They're going to be like, I don't care.

00:24:27.980 I'll die.

00:24:29.280 I am not going to do it.

00:24:32.100 Three.

00:24:32.520 My kids are.

00:24:33.980 Yeah.

00:24:34.160 I mean, it's enough.

00:24:35.620 My kids are out of their mind right now.

00:24:39.920 I have a teenage son, teenage son, and he is he was homeschooled.

00:24:47.700 He does not like homeschooling.

00:24:50.100 He needs the social stuff.

00:24:52.220 He needs to be very active, needs to be in school or a prison work chain gang or something.

00:24:59.480 But he just he hates it.

00:25:02.040 And he is he is up until like three o'clock in the morning.

00:25:06.920 Yesterday, two days ago, Tanya got up at five and he was up at five just watching TV.

00:25:13.960 You know, time before he was on the computer.

00:25:16.360 I mean, we just cannot stop it.

00:25:19.420 And I mean, we have all the computer keyboards and everything locked up in the safe at night.

00:25:23.920 And he'll find it.

00:25:24.860 He's like MacGyver.

00:25:26.080 He'll find something to do all night.

00:25:28.640 And it's just it's it's impossible.

00:25:32.200 And then when you try to do something as a family, oh, my gosh, I cannot I cannot.

00:25:38.200 I have nightmares of the Netflix or the Amazon page with, you know, all of the options.

00:25:45.380 It's a never ending nightmare because you'll sit down and you'll say, OK, you want to watch this?

00:25:52.380 And one of them will say, oh, if you're going to watch this, I'm going to go do this.

00:25:56.760 Yep.

00:25:57.140 No, no, no, no.

00:25:58.040 OK.

00:25:58.340 All right.

00:25:58.580 Well, then let's watch this.

00:26:00.040 Oh, well, if you're the other one, if you're going to watch it, I'm just going to listen

00:26:02.620 to my music and they put their earpods in.

00:26:04.640 It's like, oh, good God.

00:26:06.100 And they're not and they're not even close.

00:26:08.320 It's like, you know, one is Doctor Who and the other one is high school musical.

00:26:14.720 And there's nothing, nothing that is is a bridge between those two.

00:26:21.720 It's horrible.

00:26:23.120 Do you just horrible?

00:26:24.460 Must you watch TV together?

00:26:26.680 I mean, like, can you just?

00:26:28.620 Well, I'd like to.

00:26:29.660 I mean, right now, right now in the last two days and Tanya said to me last night and I

00:26:34.520 said, honey, I'm sorry.

00:26:35.980 I can't help.

00:26:36.520 It was the book thing and I'm working all the time from home and it makes it worse because

00:26:41.380 I'm home and I don't have any time to do anything.

00:26:44.380 And she's like, honey, we got to do something.

00:26:47.020 And she said, you know what?

00:26:48.500 I think just I'm just going to just give up.

00:26:50.700 And I'm like, OK, that's not an option.

00:26:53.120 But right now, I think maybe we have to just relax some of the stuff.

00:26:58.640 I don't know.

00:26:59.300 Yeah, because I don't see my kids.

00:27:02.080 They're in other rooms with ear pods.

00:27:04.800 They're, you know, whatever.

00:27:06.240 And it.

00:27:06.940 Oh, my gosh.

00:27:08.320 OK, take away.

00:27:10.120 Take away their music.

00:27:11.280 Take away YouTube.

00:27:12.420 Take away the, you know, whatever that is that they're doing.

00:27:15.140 Take it away.

00:27:16.560 Are you kidding me?

00:27:18.100 They're almost insane as it is.

00:27:22.300 Am I the only one dealing with this?

00:27:24.940 I know.

00:27:25.500 I know.

00:27:25.780 I just think that this is the time for those sorts of piece, you know, that that leniency

00:27:31.960 is is valuable here.

00:27:33.220 Right.

00:27:34.540 I think so, too, but I could be very wrong.

00:27:37.920 I feel like like this, like, look, there are reasons to help with long term habits, right?

00:27:44.780 To get them off of all the devices and all of that in this situation, you know, you just

00:27:50.660 have to like, all right, well, today they're just on the iPad.

00:27:54.160 But 30 days and it's a habit.

00:27:58.660 30 days and it's a habit.

00:28:00.460 Yeah, I don't think it's unlimited.

00:28:02.940 We're looking at a lot more than 30 days.

00:28:06.280 Take them out to the pool.

00:28:07.440 You got a pool.

00:28:08.340 Have them go swimming.

00:28:09.340 Yeah.

00:28:09.840 Go out and go swimming.

00:28:11.300 Little brats.

00:28:12.060 Well, I turned on.

00:28:13.560 I told Tanya, I said, let's heat the pool because it's 60 today.

00:28:16.880 I said, let's heat the pool.

00:28:18.020 And she said, heat the pool. 1.00

00:28:19.680 Do you know that?

00:28:20.140 Because I said, we're not spending money.

00:28:21.880 Any plates out.

00:28:22.700 I know.

00:28:23.140 We're not going anywhere.

00:28:24.920 We're not going anywhere.

00:28:27.020 You know, but you could lose your job.

00:28:28.700 Yes.

00:28:29.320 But the kids will be out of the house.

00:28:32.720 And there's definitely this thing going on, I think, too, with with just like obviously

00:28:37.560 like, you know, we're in, you know, outside in the suburbs in Texas.

00:28:40.800 It's a totally different situation.

00:28:42.160 As you point out to the city and people in New York City, even it's totally different situation

00:28:47.100 than people in like, imagine being in a developing country where you have like 15 people in your

00:28:52.440 house anyway, and you have you either go out and work or die.

00:28:56.940 There's no social distance.

00:28:58.320 15 people in your house and it's 250 square feet.

00:29:01.780 Right.

00:29:02.480 Try that.

00:29:03.640 Yeah.

00:29:03.940 And here we are bitching about first world problems.

00:29:07.300 Yeah.

00:29:07.560 I can't get my kids in the pool or up to the movie room.

00:29:10.600 I have to tell you, I have not, I, I, because maybe because I lived in New York, I can relate

00:29:25.180 to the, the, they must be losing their minds.

00:29:31.820 Imagine being in one of those skyscrapers or just do one of those just ratty rat infested

00:29:37.520 cockroach infested apartment buildings in New York where you've got 500 square feet and

00:29:44.200 just two children, one child.

00:29:47.780 I mean, it's got to be crazy, crazy bad where you can't go out into the park or did you hear

00:29:56.420 about, well, who was the, what was it in Denver where a father and daughter went out and they

00:30:02.160 were just throwing a softball back and forth to each other, the social distancing, they weren't

00:30:07.240 around everybody.

00:30:08.200 They weren't in a team or anything.

00:30:09.220 It was just a father and daughter.

00:30:10.560 They arrested the father.

00:30:12.860 Yeah.

00:30:13.080 Dragged him out in handcuffs.

00:30:15.400 In front of his six-year-old daughter.

00:30:17.960 That is insane.

00:30:19.600 That's crazy.

00:30:20.340 That's insane.

00:30:21.260 I don't know what's, Colorado, what the hell is happening to you?

00:30:24.680 That's got to stop.

00:30:26.080 It's nuts.

00:30:26.300 I guess they're trying, they're trying to apologize.

00:30:29.220 I wouldn't, I would not take that apology.

00:30:31.520 I would take that to court.

00:30:33.180 I would take that to court.

00:30:34.880 I'm getting a little surly like that, too.

00:30:37.520 Yeah, I got nothing but time on my hands.

00:30:40.540 I don't accept your apology, you bastards.

00:30:44.360 No.

00:30:47.840 Some of these, some of these restrictions, though, they're just anti-American.

00:30:52.340 They're just unconstitutional.

00:30:53.600 They are.

00:30:54.320 And, you know, finally, some people are starting to push back a little bit.

00:30:58.300 In Idaho, we've got a group of people, led, of course, by a Bundy. 0.79

00:31:03.680 Ammon Bundy is getting people together in Sandpoint, Idaho, and saying, no, we're not going to do this.

00:31:10.640 We've got people pushing back a little bit.

00:31:12.480 Well, they're not.

00:31:12.760 Like Ron Paul.

00:31:14.780 Utah is not, Utah is one of those five states, right?

00:31:19.700 Do we have the audio of the governor of South Dakota?

00:31:23.380 Florida, I think this is one of the best things I have heard in a long, long time.

00:31:30.540 Let me see.

00:31:31.180 I'm going to get her name.

00:31:32.060 I think it's Noam.

00:31:33.200 Yeah, it's Governor Noam.

00:31:34.600 Kristi Noam, I think.

00:31:36.040 Yeah.

00:31:36.520 And she did a press conference the other day about, you know, because she's getting heat.

00:31:42.880 All these states are getting heat from all the other governors.

00:31:45.620 Oh, we closed down ours.

00:31:46.720 Why come you're not closing yours?

00:31:48.100 Well, they're not having a problem.

00:31:49.760 They're doing fine.

00:31:50.640 Their numbers are going down, not up.

00:31:52.920 Right.

00:31:53.380 And listen to what she said.

00:31:55.720 Listen to this.

00:31:56.860 In this country and in our state, we have a government that is run by, for, and of the people.

00:32:04.000 And the people have established national and state constitutions that place specific limits on the role of government in our lives.

00:32:11.180 Those limits prevent us from taking draconian measures, much like the Chinese government has done in what we have seen.

00:32:18.740 There also is some limits that keep us from taking some of the actions we've seen European governments take that limit citizens' rights.

00:32:27.960 Our constitution ensures the citizens' right is protected.

00:32:32.240 I agree with the role of the government has set forth in our state and in our national constitution.

00:32:38.220 I took an oath to uphold these constitutions.

00:32:41.180 The people themselves are primarily responsible for their safety.

00:32:45.200 They are the ones that are entrusted with expansive freedoms.

00:32:49.540 They're free to exercise their rights to work, to worship, and to play, or to even stay home, or to conduct social distancing.

00:32:57.900 Since the middle of February, I've been very clear that people need to take personal responsibility for their health and the well-being of their families.

00:33:06.720 South Dakota is not New York City.

00:33:08.360 And our sense of personal responsibility, our resiliency, and our already sparse population density put us in a great position to manage the spread of this virus without needing to resort to some of the measures that we've seen in some of these major cities, coastal cities, and in other countries.

00:33:28.500 The calls to apply for a one-size-fits-all approach to this problem in South Dakota is herd mentality.

00:33:35.300 It's not leadership.

00:33:36.120 My responsibility is to respect the rights of people and the people who elected me, to manage our state operations in a way that reflects the realities of what we have here on the ground in our state.

00:33:49.520 That's fantastic.

00:33:50.920 I love her.

00:33:52.260 I love her.

00:33:53.720 I would like to nominate her for governor of Texas. 0.98

00:33:57.300 I mean, we've been trying to get a hold of Greg Abbott for a while, and I don't know why, but Greg is not coming on the program, the governor of Texas.

00:34:04.180 But where is that from Texas?

00:34:06.920 Where's that from Texas?

00:34:08.300 Yeah, but it's done a pretty good job through this.

00:34:09.980 No, I have not been highly critical of his actions through this.

00:34:14.880 I mean, I don't know.

00:34:15.560 I would love to see.

00:34:17.060 Yeah, I mean, he's left it to the cities, largely.

00:34:18.900 And, you know, look, people are doing it anyway.

00:34:20.980 I mean, the interesting part about all this is that, you know, we've talked so much about how the government is going to act and the government is going to, what restrictions are they putting on people?

00:34:28.860 And people are just doing this because, as the governor here just pointed out, you're responsible for your own safety.

00:34:34.240 Right.

00:34:34.460 And so, yes, it also complicates, I think, the argument about how we change from what mode we're in now to opening up the economy.

00:34:44.600 I mean, there's been this debate that's gone on forever.

00:34:46.180 Should we have closed the economy?

00:34:47.540 Right.

00:34:47.720 However, the data is all coming out that all of this stuff was going on before we closed it.

00:34:54.500 Right.

00:34:54.680 People weren't going to restaurants anyway.

00:34:57.100 Right.

00:34:57.300 So if we would have just left everything open, you cut restaurant traffic by 70% with no closure and no giant bailout bill.

00:35:06.180 Just people making their own decision.

00:35:07.620 The economy crumbles anyway.

00:35:08.940 Yeah.

00:35:09.220 Right.

00:35:09.400 Because people were terrified of going out and doing frivolous things that might endanger them.

00:35:13.340 Yep.

00:35:13.480 So, like, it's a, I mean, this is, this is obviously not easy, but the, um, we're going to have to force people to go back to restaurants.

00:35:22.100 It's mandated you go out three times a week to these restaurants.

00:35:25.680 You will get drunk at a bar.

00:35:27.200 You will be hammered.

00:37:22.900 Hello, America.

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

00:37:27.900 We have almost an impossible task because the New York times, um, we have to be probably

00:37:34.560 at least, uh, 15,000 copies of books ahead of anybody else to make the New York times,

00:37:42.840 uh, number one, even probably top two or three, uh, because they, they have, they have different

00:37:49.680 algorithms and everything now is being sold online and they have blocked us, uh, for years

00:37:57.440 now.

00:37:57.840 And this one, I would really like to see normally, I don't care about the New York times.

00:38:03.160 This one I care about because it says a lot about America.

00:38:07.900 If the number one book in America is arguing with socialists, especially at this time where

00:38:13.120 the socialists are trying to squeeze in all of these aid packages, all of these things

00:38:17.880 that are, are green new deals and, and labor union, uh, bailouts, arguing with socialists.

00:38:56.080 to write and a much more expensive book to print.

00:38:59.140 Uh, and we did it because those really have always worked their way into the youth.

00:39:06.380 I mean, I've talked to Charlie Kirk about it.

00:39:08.780 I've talked to Brett, uh, uh, Ben Shapiro, uh, and they both said, I, I remember when those

00:39:14.880 books came out and how we use them and how we could formulate our arguments.

00:39:20.160 These are great for you, but also, uh, the next generation as well.

00:40:54.560 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:41:10.020 Well, we're just three weeks into this and our job numbers came out again.

00:41:14.480 The first time, first time application for unemployment.

00:41:21.480 Those numbers are out today, this week, another 6.5 million.

00:41:26.860 We're probably at an unemployment rate of about 14 percent, 13, 14 percent.

00:41:33.640 One in four Americans have either lost their job or had a pay cut from coronavirus shutdowns.

00:41:39.880 The Congress is now trying to put together another 250, 300 billion dollars for small businesses

00:41:47.620 so they can get loans.

00:41:49.020 The first tranche is already gone.

00:41:52.160 But now, Congress, the Democrats are saying,

00:41:54.720 unless we have universal voting by mail for November, we're not passing anything.

00:42:03.260 Really?

00:42:04.320 Really?

00:42:05.040 Good.

00:42:06.180 Go hang on that one.

00:42:08.020 This is an emergency.

00:42:10.220 If you want to pass money to give it to those in need, that's fine.

00:42:16.080 No strings attached.

00:42:17.880 By the way, none of them are even showing up to vote.

00:42:22.240 It's another voice vote.

00:42:24.340 Nobody in Congress is doing their job.

00:42:26.900 How many people do you see on the side of the road that they're still mowing the lawn in

00:42:32.120 the middle of the highways?

00:42:33.920 That's an essential job?

00:42:36.180 But watching our money and guarding our Constitution, that's not essential?

00:42:41.860 They can all stay home?

00:42:43.580 This is an outrage that's got to stop.

00:42:47.320 We begin there in one minute.

00:42:49.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:51.460 All right.

00:42:56.020 It is really critical that we all pay attention to our financial health as well as our physical

00:43:02.760 health.

00:43:03.340 What is it that we can do today that will guarantee health, a healthy financial future?

00:43:09.540 There are very few things.

00:43:11.660 But if you are a homeowner, the solution may be as simple as mortgage refis.

00:43:16.940 The people that can help you are at AmericanFinancing.net.

00:43:21.020 I've done business with these people for a very long time.

00:43:24.160 They are not just out to give your business.

00:43:26.360 In fact, I know several people.

00:43:28.180 I don't know how these people make money. 0.94

00:43:29.560 I really don't.

00:43:30.160 I know several people who they have called and they said, wait, you can get a loan from

00:43:35.900 this bank or I mean, Sarah Gonzalez is one of them where she was getting a buying a house 1.00

00:43:41.260 from a builder and they said, wait, no, no, no.

00:43:43.700 Go back and ask the builder for this kind of loan.

00:43:46.380 You can get a much better rate because they're motivated to get this off of their balance sheet.

00:43:52.360 Well, she did.

00:43:53.420 And they were like, yeah, I guess we could do that.

00:43:55.900 They got a better loan than American Financing could get for her on their own.

00:44:01.780 That's the kind of people they are.

00:44:03.500 They really care about accomplishing the things that you're trying to accomplish.

00:44:08.520 And that is save money.

00:44:10.620 So if you can refinance your home right now, you'll save a buttload of money.

00:44:14.440 If you can consolidate all of your high interest credit card debt and put that into your mortgage

00:44:20.660 without extending the mortgage, you could save a thousand bucks or more a month.

00:44:24.740 The time to refi is right now.

00:44:29.280 Protect your financial future.

00:44:31.520 Call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

00:44:36.020 800-906-2440.

00:44:38.840 Or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:44:41.380 That's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:44:43.880 American Financing.

00:44:44.480 NMLS 1-82334.

00:44:46.580 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:44:54.740 All right.

00:45:02.360 So we have another stimulus bill that is coming up.

00:45:06.960 And God only knows what they're putting in these things.

00:45:09.460 And there's nobody doing their job in Congress or in the Senate.

00:45:13.000 We have Representative Thomas Massey, who got massacred, what was it, just last week, for

00:45:19.180 standing up and saying, no, you have to have these people come in and actually debate the

00:45:25.780 bill.

00:45:26.780 Right now, Nancy Pelosi is passing all of these things.

00:45:30.220 This is just the leadership in Congress and the leadership in Senate just doing business

00:45:35.980 and railroading all of this stuff through, and it's absolutely unconstitutional.

00:45:42.480 Thomas Massey, who is being a watchdog of our money and our Constitution, welcome to

00:45:46.780 the program, sir.

00:45:47.400 How are you?

00:45:48.240 Thanks for having me on, Glenn.

00:45:49.820 Yeah, the swamp nearly crushed me 10 days ago for insisting that Congress show up for

00:45:55.080 work.

00:45:56.240 And they're going to try and do it again.

00:45:58.500 They're trying to pass bills with nobody there.

00:46:00.440 It's not constitutional.

00:46:01.540 And tell me why truck drivers and nurses and grocery store workers have to go to work, 1.00

00:46:06.420 but Congress doesn't.

00:46:08.960 It is.

00:46:09.720 It's it's obscene, Thomas.

00:46:11.480 It really is obscene.

00:46:13.160 I mean, I understand if they don't, you know, they're but most of them are old and, you know,

00:46:18.740 are prime candidates for getting this.

00:46:21.680 So I understand that they don't want to go in.

00:46:23.780 But then fine, do it on the phone.

00:46:26.480 Do it on the Internet.

00:46:27.520 That's what we're all having to do.

00:46:29.220 Do it on Zoom.

00:46:30.420 You can do it, Congress.

00:46:33.720 They're not even looking for ways to do it.

00:46:36.320 In fact, Nancy Pelosi has said she won't call everybody back because it's just too dangerous.

00:46:42.800 Glenn, we're telling millions of schoolchildren to go to school online and Congress can't

00:46:47.840 even hold a hearing online.

00:46:50.260 It's ridiculous.

00:46:51.840 You know, this is what I've said this time.

00:46:53.760 So they're going to try and do something by UC.

00:46:55.620 I don't want to get crushed again.

00:46:57.700 I know I'm going to get crushed again.

00:46:59.840 But what I've said is vote remotely.

00:47:02.080 Enable voting remotely for Congress.

00:47:04.760 If you don't want to show up for work, at least work from home.

00:47:07.880 But this is about not having any accountability.

00:47:11.280 And by the way, this loan program, is it appropriate to call it a loan program if you expect 100% of the

00:47:17.080 loans to default?

00:47:18.740 Well, the banks are not loan originators.

00:47:22.020 They're grant administrators.

00:47:24.120 And it's free money.

00:47:25.420 When you put up a sign and say free money, is it any surprise that you run out of $300 billion

00:47:31.060 the first day?

00:47:32.740 No.

00:47:33.260 We'll run out of $250 billion.

00:47:35.360 You know, the White House told me when they were trying to get me to vote for this bill

00:47:38.940 10 days ago.

00:47:40.140 It's so big.

00:47:41.260 We're making it so big so we won't have to revisit this issue until, like, July or August.

00:47:46.580 That's what they told me.

00:47:48.040 Oh, don't worry.

00:47:48.740 We've got plenty of money there.

00:47:49.880 The Fed can leverage it.

00:47:52.060 You won't have to vote on anything like this again.

00:47:54.700 And here we are not even two weeks later.

00:47:56.620 And they're telling us they need, well, the Senate Republicans are saying a quarter of

00:48:01.660 a trillion.

00:48:02.540 And then Pelosi's saying, no, we need another quarter of a trillion.

00:48:05.940 So this would be half a trillion dollars, not even two weeks after the first bill.

00:48:09.980 And they don't want anybody to go on record.

00:48:15.260 So what's in this bill, Thomas?

00:48:17.420 Do you have any idea?

00:48:18.260 I know that they're now saying, the Democrats are saying they won't vote unless, and this

00:48:22.340 this kills me, unless we change our voting system in November and we allow some sort of

00:48:30.600 remote voting for every American, yet they won't remote vote for the bill.

00:48:36.840 Yeah, they can't enable remote voting for 535 members of Congress.

00:48:42.260 I don't think it's going to go well with the general public.

00:48:44.660 By the way, that's a state issue.

00:48:47.000 There are states that have mail-in ballots, and there are states that don't.

00:48:50.060 There's no reason to nationalize this.

00:48:53.180 This is something that the states handle.

00:48:55.060 People need to get out their constitutions and look at them.

00:48:58.600 And I will tell you something, Glenn.

00:49:00.280 I see a very grim future here in a few weeks if the governors don't reverse course.

00:49:06.360 The assembly lines are shutting down.

00:49:08.840 People, when you see these jobless numbers, those are people who aren't going to the factories

00:49:13.340 and aren't working.

00:49:14.580 By the way, you know, we all like to think that the farmers are still working, and they

00:49:18.840 are for the most part, but most of that food goes through a factory that has to be approved

00:49:23.900 by the USDA, et cetera, before it gets to your table.

00:49:26.880 Those factories are shutting down, Glenn.

00:49:28.620 There were six slaughterhouses, like giant meat packers, that have shut down.

00:49:33.040 Well, I know that the farmers are now buying up.

00:49:40.720 I mean, I have cattle on my ranch.

00:49:43.160 We're stocking up on food, making sure that you have enough so you're not selling your cattle

00:49:49.440 because there's no one to take the cattle and process the meat.

00:49:55.340 I think we'll have meat shortages.

00:49:57.380 I think because of lack of workers on the ground, there's lots of farmers.

00:50:02.160 I talked to a farmer yesterday in North Carolina, said he's ready to pull a crop up.

00:50:06.520 He doesn't have anybody to do it, and he can't afford to pay anybody to do it because he's

00:50:11.960 not sure he qualifies for the loan because he only hires people two months at a time, three

00:50:18.860 times a year.

00:50:19.720 Right, and the loan still isn't going to make people come to work.

00:50:24.680 You know, you've seen pictures of dairies pouring out milk.

00:50:27.660 You're going to see pictures of cattlemen shooting their cattle and burying them because

00:50:32.640 they can't afford, there's no feed to be had, and there's nobody that will process them.

00:50:38.600 And meanwhile, you're going to have shortages in the supermarket.

00:50:41.060 By the way, I've got a bill I introduced like five years ago to fix this called the

00:50:44.660 Prime Act that would let local processors process meat, and you could sell it within

00:50:49.560 inside the state, and it would allow local processors to fulfill this need so that you

00:50:55.580 don't have farmers killing animals instead of putting them in the food supply.

00:51:00.480 Thomas, that is the kind of thinking that we need to get on.

00:51:04.460 You know, Donald Trump was made fun of because America first, but all that is is think globally,

00:51:12.480 act locally.

00:51:14.100 Every hippie understands that.

00:51:16.140 And all you're saying is give the local people a chance to do things without having to go

00:51:24.140 through the federal government.

00:51:25.960 Let the states do it the way our constitution was built. 0.99

00:51:30.400 So what's the what's the hold up on this one?

00:51:34.160 Well, you know, ironically, I have the hippies in Congress have co-sponsored my bill.

00:51:38.900 It's a collection of conservatives and hippies, and the red tape is going to cause people to

00:51:45.360 starve here in a few weeks.

00:51:47.540 I'm telling you, if something doesn't change, it's going to get ugly.

00:51:51.580 And the people who are still going to work, the productive members of society, they're

00:51:55.820 going to when neighbors start taking stuff from other neighbors, and they're going to

00:51:59.860 be able to justify it in their mind, right?

00:52:01.740 They're going to look at a neighbor who's got all this food and say, you know, my kid needs

00:52:05.420 to eat, that guy hoarded food, that's not fair, I'm going to take his stuff.

00:52:10.100 When people start taking other people's stuff, then the productive members of society are

00:52:15.120 going to stay home to guard their stuff, and it's going to just grind to a halt so quickly.

00:52:21.460 And we are weeks away.

00:52:25.720 This is quite a charge.

00:52:28.480 I've been talking about food shortages now for a while, but I don't predict them coming

00:52:33.260 this quickly, but this is quite a charge, because nobody is talking about this.

00:52:38.660 Where are you getting this feeling, Thomas, that we are that close to food shortages,

00:52:45.820 significant food shortages?

00:52:47.380 Talking to Congressman Thomas Massey.

00:52:49.820 There's an article out yesterday that talks about six of the big, giant meat processing plants.

00:52:56.080 I mean, one of these handles like 1,900 cattle a day, shutting down, you know, because the

00:53:02.540 workers have the virus, and they don't have the test to know that which workers don't have

00:53:08.840 it, et cetera, et cetera.

00:53:09.860 There are articles out there, and just myself being a farmer, I've got 65 cattle, and I can

00:53:17.740 tell you the price of cattle is going down.

00:53:20.180 Meanwhile, the price of cattle is going up in the supermarket, and it's caused because

00:53:26.180 the supply chains are brittle.

00:53:29.060 And we need to change course, because by the middle of this summer, if something hasn't

00:53:35.340 changed, it's going to be ugly.

00:53:39.520 So, Thomas, what should people be doing right now?

00:53:45.420 They should be telling their governors to turn the economy back on.

00:53:51.380 They should put a mask on.

00:53:53.380 They should quit listening to the people who say that masks don't work.

00:53:57.140 They should put a mask on.

00:53:58.580 The employers should provide masks.

00:54:01.920 When you get to work, we need the cheap test quickly.

00:54:04.900 We need to know who's got some immunity conferred to them because they've had it and recovered.

00:54:10.180 We need to know who's got the virus and needs to stay home.

00:54:12.960 Instead of walking down all of the United States, we just need to ask the ones who are sick to 0.94

00:54:18.920 stay home or carrying the virus.

00:54:22.580 So, there were some things.

00:54:24.740 Yesterday, I was talking because, you know, I own a couple of companies, and I was like,

00:54:29.320 you know, I don't know why we can't open partially, yada, yada.

00:54:32.920 And the response immediately was, lawsuits, Glenn, lawsuits.

00:54:37.480 If something happens, someone gets sick, even if they're not getting sick from here, but

00:54:42.660 you've partially reopened things, they can sue you.

00:54:47.100 And that's true.

00:54:48.940 I mean, we have to have protection as businesses that we're not going to get sued, you know,

00:54:55.160 when we go back to work.

00:54:56.540 Maybe that's a place where we could step in with legislation to say, as long as your employer

00:55:01.780 is testing every employee, and as long as they're giving you a mask, a brand new mask

00:55:06.900 when you come to work, that they can't be held liable or something like that.

00:55:11.180 You know, there could be a place for legislation to get us out of this rut that's getting deeper.

00:55:17.240 All right, Thomas Massey, hang on the phone for just a second.

00:55:21.820 I want to take a one-minute break, then I want to come back, and I want to ask you about

00:55:24.700 this voting nonsense from the Democrats.

00:55:28.280 What else do you know, if anything, is in this bill?

00:55:32.520 And again, what should we be doing on the national level?

00:55:37.980 I think you're right.

00:55:38.940 The state level is where we need to start, because it's where it's really out of control.

00:55:43.280 But what we need to do on the national level as well, back in just one minute.

00:55:46.900 Stand by.

00:55:51.780 I got this email in last night.

00:55:54.800 Dear Glenn, our daughter, 48 years old, was prescribed fentanyl patches and Oxy for seven

00:56:00.940 years for paying for fibromyalgia.

00:56:03.900 The family lived in the San Jose Bay Area.

00:56:07.560 She lost two really good jobs.

00:56:09.720 Her husband has a heart condition.

00:56:11.380 We moved them to Fresno near us.

00:56:13.220 She was a zombie, lost her train of thought.

00:56:16.280 She kept failing.

00:56:17.220 Our beautiful daughter was lost.

00:56:19.220 The doctor stopped the prescription suddenly, and then she was in terrific pain and withdrawal.

00:56:24.720 She found some drugs, and I was afraid we were going to lose our daughter to some underworld 0.97

00:56:29.500 scum selling drugs.

00:56:31.920 My husband researched CBD.

00:56:33.860 It was expensive, and it didn't help much.

00:56:36.640 I listened to your talk show regularly.

00:56:38.740 As I said to my husband, let's just try Relief Factor.

00:56:42.700 Glenn, thank you.

00:56:44.500 After the starter pack, we have our daughter back.

00:56:47.660 It's going to make me cry.

00:56:49.080 She now works part-time and seasonal jobs, and she's laughing again.

00:56:53.620 Thank you, thank you, thank you, Yolanda.

00:56:57.680 Yolanda, thank you for writing.

00:56:59.800 This is such great news.

00:57:02.360 Those drugs just whack people out, and there is a better way, and you get your life back.

00:57:10.300 It's Relief Factor.

00:57:11.780 Please just try it.

00:57:13.040 ReliefFactor.com.

00:57:14.560 ReliefFactor.com or call 800-500-8384.

00:57:23.800 We pause for 10 seconds.

00:57:25.260 Station ID.

00:57:41.620 So we are looking at another 6.5 million Americans who have lost their jobs or are applying for unemployment this week.

00:57:50.340 We are probably, right now, Thomas, at another, probably between 12% and 15% unemployment when we see the numbers in the 1st of May.

00:58:01.720 And it doesn't seem like it's going to get any better, and they're still talking about four to eight weeks under lock and key.

00:58:11.100 The Congress says they want to give more.

00:58:16.320 I've been talking to people that are losing their restaurants, are losing everything, have not been able to get in line for a loan because the money is all gone.

00:58:25.680 Should the government be making these loans?

00:58:27.840 We shouldn't be doing it because we are encouraging the governors to keep doing what they're doing, which is to shut down the economy.

00:58:36.620 They're going to end up starving people, the governors are.

00:58:39.080 You're already seeing people committing suicides because they can't get medical help or they're locked down.

00:58:45.340 The bill that Pelosi wants, she wants a 15% increase in SNAP, $100 billion to local governments, and $150 billion to hospitals, I think. 0.63

00:58:54.000 So she wants to add another quarter of a trillion to this. 0.99

00:58:58.060 But the problem, you know, it sounds like it's humane, and the right thing to do is to give all this money away, but it doesn't make the food grow.

00:59:06.920 It doesn't get the factories running. 0.69

00:59:09.480 We're going to run out of things that support life on this planet.

00:59:13.820 So how do you how do you balance this?

00:59:19.420 Because if I, you know, I understand that kind of that to me is critical infrastructure, farm, farming, you know, slaughterhouses, food processing, all of that.

00:59:29.800 That's critical infrastructure.

00:59:32.260 But I wasn't the one who shut my business down.

00:59:36.380 The government told me to shut it down.

00:59:38.500 Doesn't the government have a responsibility to reimburse me for all that I lost?

00:59:44.540 Three weeks ago, I was having the best year of my life.

00:59:47.260 Now, I don't know if I can even open my business again.

00:59:50.680 Do I do I get anything back from the government?

00:59:53.940 Don't they have a responsibility constitutionally even?

00:59:57.740 That's a great point.

00:59:59.280 But here's the problem.

01:00:00.360 It's the governors who have shut things down.

01:00:02.580 And it's the federal government who's trying to make you whole.

01:00:05.340 There's no feedback loop.

01:00:06.600 The governors are not suffering the mal-effects of their policy.

01:00:11.380 And so we are we are sustaining their mal-effects.

01:00:14.920 And so we put them in this moral hazard.

01:00:17.860 So governors like Ron DeSantis, he had to fall in line like the day after this stimulus thing passed.

01:00:24.220 He had no other option.

01:00:26.340 And so that's the problem.

01:00:28.340 And we're just pushing these governors to keep doing it.

01:00:31.760 If the governors had to make people whole for what they are doing, they would they would start coming up with sensible policy instead of staying stuck on stupid.

01:00:42.720 So are there places like New York that should be shut down?

01:00:50.040 And that is up to the governor of New York.

01:00:52.480 And they that you know, whatever happens there, they have to sustain that in New York.

01:00:56.860 Every state, every governor has got different policies.

01:00:59.900 Kristi Noem has got it as a policy that's suitable for her state. 0.94

01:01:03.500 The problem is the feds are proposing one policy.

01:01:06.500 If there's a role for government, Glenn, I think it's in getting these masks out there.

01:01:11.720 It's in getting the tests out there.

01:01:13.780 It's in publishing the data.

01:01:15.340 It's in tracking this disease.

01:01:18.320 And I'm sorry about my line.

01:01:20.320 I don't yeah, I don't know if you're you're at like Chernobyl or where you are.

01:01:24.060 But let me ask you one one question.

01:01:29.000 Talking to Congressman Thomas Massey, I cannot get an answer on the way down and I can't get an answer now on the way out.

01:01:36.860 What are the tripwires?

01:01:38.800 What has to happen for these states and the government to start recommending that we all go back to work?

01:01:46.560 You know, the numbers are all trending in the right place.

01:01:48.980 OK, great.

01:01:49.940 We don't want to come back too soon.

01:01:51.440 I get it.

01:01:52.260 But can you please find out what the tripwires are, Thomas?

01:01:55.280 Because no one will give it's all it's all arbitrary.

01:01:58.140 I asked Dr. Fauci that question a few days ago.

01:02:01.780 He said it was hospital admissions when they start to flatten out.

01:02:05.020 But the problem is, as soon as they start to flatten out and they ease off of this mitigation phase and something flares up, they're going to shut it all back down again.

01:02:13.660 All right.

01:02:14.400 Thomas Massey, congressman from from the great state of Kentucky.

01:02:18.880 And one of the congressmen that actually has some balls. 0.99

01:02:22.420 Thomas Massey, thanks for being on.

01:02:24.060 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:02:26.420 All right.

01:02:30.240 Our sponsor this half hour.

01:02:32.160 We want to thank real estate agents.

01:02:34.180 I trust dot com.

01:02:35.340 What distinguishes a truly great real estate agent from merely an adequate one or worse, a bad one is the question that I asked several years ago with a group of real estate agents.

01:02:50.200 That are the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.

01:02:55.960 And I was an honest question.

01:02:58.900 And I found out in talking to them that there there are some traits.

01:03:02.220 There are some things that are the signs of somebody who's going to get the job done.

01:03:07.300 So we put this together and we decided to start a company that was just a free service to you.

01:03:12.640 If you're looking to buy or sell a house and we'll go out, we'll find the right real estate agents in your area.

01:03:19.300 The ones that are going to be the most motivated, the ones who have the best track record, the ones that fit into the parameters of what we found from the 500 best in the country.

01:03:30.000 So that's what we have.

01:03:31.820 And it's a free service to you.

01:03:33.240 If you're looking to sell your house or buy another one, now is the time to prepare.

01:03:38.320 Go to real estate agents.

01:03:39.460 I trust dot com.

01:03:40.560 Tuesday, Arguing with Socialists comes out.

01:03:43.120 Wednesday, Bernie Sanders drops out of the race.

01:03:45.600 Coincidence?

01:03:46.420 I think not.

01:03:47.640 Get a copy now at Amazon dot com or Glenn Beck dot com.

01:03:54.000 Hello, America.

01:03:54.980 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:56.020 I want to give you a good news story, something that I thought was really cool.

01:03:58.720 I saw it in the saw it in the news a couple of days ago and we reached out to the guy it happened to.

01:04:04.420 And he's joining us now.

01:04:05.660 His name is Dwayne Henry.

01:04:06.960 He's a real estate agent out in California, Malibu, Beverly Hills, and he drives a vintage Mercedes Benz, which has, you know, a rag top on it.

01:04:19.320 And he had it down.

01:04:20.240 And I think he was with his wife and they were just trying to get some air, you know, from the shutdown.

01:04:26.280 And they were taking a drive around when he said he heard something go wrong with the engine.

01:04:31.580 So he pulled over.

01:04:32.820 Dwayne's here to tell us what happened.

01:04:34.060 Hi, Dwayne.

01:04:34.420 How are you?

01:04:35.560 Good morning, Glenn Beck.

01:04:40.080 Strange, strange things.

01:04:42.340 Strange times.

01:04:43.040 Isn't it, Dwayne?

01:04:43.660 Oh, my gosh.

01:04:45.740 You're telling me.

01:04:47.360 Yeah.

01:04:48.140 So, Dwayne, you're driving around in your car, minding your own business.

01:04:52.660 What happens to your car?

01:04:55.020 Well, I started experiencing some mechanical problems with my brakes and the car was feeling a little sluggish.

01:05:02.100 So, you know, I pulled over like what anyone would do, obviously.

01:05:06.860 And I pull over on a, you know, luxury, in a luxury neighborhood on the street car called Charing Cross Road.

01:05:16.440 Very popular street.

01:05:18.100 A lot of celebrities, stars live in the area.

01:05:20.840 So I pull over and on the street, I get out to inspect my car.

01:05:26.720 And I noticed I had smoke coming from the front right tire area.

01:05:30.560 And a month ago, maybe a month, month and a half ago, I just had the brake master cylinder rebuilt.

01:05:38.020 I had the entire braking system in the front redone.

01:05:41.660 So I'm like, wow.

01:05:42.940 I mean, this is unbelievable.

01:05:44.320 I just had all this stuff done.

01:05:45.720 So I popped the hood.

01:05:46.960 There was no smoke coming from the engine compartment area.

01:05:49.700 So that was a relief.

01:05:51.680 So I noticed it was really a braking issue, but I was not exactly sure what the issue was.

01:05:57.260 But I knew it was in the brakes.

01:05:59.400 Now, are you a, Dwayne, are you a car guy?

01:06:01.340 Are you a car guy like I am where I love, I love classic cars, but I don't work on them.

01:06:07.760 I don't know anything about them.

01:06:09.440 Or are you kind of the guy who loves to tinker and you know all about it?

01:06:14.260 You and I are the same.

01:06:15.900 I'm not the guy who loves to tinker.

01:06:18.480 Right.

01:06:18.960 I don't know everything about my car.

01:06:21.500 I've had it for 12 years.

01:06:23.220 I restored it 12 years ago when I first got it.

01:06:26.220 But I do not know everything about the car.

01:06:29.000 You know, that's why I let my mechanic deal with that, you know?

01:06:32.460 Right.

01:06:33.480 So, you know, I'm checking this thing out.

01:06:35.420 It's smoking a little bit.

01:06:36.640 You know, I'm like, yeah, this is definitely a brake issue.

01:06:40.020 So, I call AAA.

01:06:42.240 They tell me they'll be out 30 minutes or so, but you're going to have to call for a ride because of the, you know, COVID pandemic thing we're dealing with.

01:06:51.220 Yeah.

01:06:51.600 So, the truck driver would not drive anyone home or to a mechanic shop.

01:06:56.900 So, you're going to have to call for a ride.

01:06:58.820 Okay, fine.

01:06:59.760 I hang up with them.

01:07:01.740 I call a buddy of mine that lives in the area.

01:07:04.540 He says, okay, I'll come get you.

01:07:07.120 And so, while I'm waiting, this blue Tesla pulls up.

01:07:11.300 Jay, let me get out of the car.

01:07:13.300 I'm like, hey, what's going on, man?

01:07:16.200 How are you doing?

01:07:17.560 He goes, I'm doing fine.

01:07:18.540 How are you doing?

01:07:19.460 What's going on?

01:07:20.680 I said, well, I think I'm having some brake issues here.

01:07:24.360 I'm not really sure.

01:07:25.740 At this point, I had pulled the hood down prior to Jay's arrival.

01:07:29.660 So, when I told him I was having brake issues, he goes, well, pop the hood.

01:07:33.460 Let me look at it.

01:07:34.800 Okay, I popped the hood.

01:07:36.300 Unbelievable.

01:07:37.880 I popped the hood.

01:07:39.200 Toad truck driver pulls up.

01:07:41.000 My buddy Jimmy pulls up.

01:07:42.700 They're trying to figure out what the hell is Jay doing in the hood of my engine compartment working on the car.

01:07:48.240 And he's looking at stuff.

01:07:49.400 He's looking around.

01:07:50.160 And he turns to the tow truck driver.

01:07:52.040 And he asks if the tow truck driver has a wrench.

01:07:55.220 The tow truck driver says, yeah, sure.

01:07:57.860 He goes to his car, grabs a wrench, comes back, gives it to Jay.

01:08:02.280 Jay's looking around.

01:08:04.000 He's on one side of the car.

01:08:05.400 I'm on the other side of the car.

01:08:07.200 Because we're all practicing this social distance thing, you know.

01:08:11.080 So, Jay takes the nut off to release, I guess, pressure where the brake fluid and all this stuff is.

01:08:17.780 And he goes, by kind of diagnosing the car, breaking stuff down, telling me this, showing me that, wants to know who works on the car.

01:08:26.360 I told him who worked on my car.

01:08:28.520 He goes, well, when you talk to the guy, tell him, I think it's this.

01:08:32.020 You know, there's this brake issue.

01:08:33.540 I can smell the pads on the car.

01:08:38.540 It's probably in the brake drums.

01:08:40.080 They didn't grind it out properly.

01:08:41.600 They didn't do this.

01:08:42.420 They didn't do that.

01:08:43.180 So, I'm like, okay, I'll make a note of that, Jay.

01:08:45.320 You know.

01:08:46.440 And we're just, it's just so surreal.

01:08:48.340 So, I'm looking at Jay, literally, in my engine compartment, with a wrench, working on my car.

01:08:55.520 Isn't it amazing?

01:08:56.560 My girlfriend, Brandy, and I, my buddy, Jimmy, and I, the tow truck driver, we're all looking at each other in disbelief.

01:09:03.960 We couldn't believe it.

01:09:05.380 You know?

01:09:05.740 Yeah.

01:09:06.220 And, you know, we're like, okay.

01:09:08.540 So, this went on for a good long 20 minutes.

01:09:11.900 And he was just a wonderful guy.

01:09:14.060 And you hear stories about him all the time, being this nice guy.

01:09:17.360 And he's very approachable.

01:09:19.620 You know, you can see him out on any given day between Burbank and Beverly Hills, just driving one of his 200-plus cars, you know, classic cars.

01:09:28.640 And he's just a stand-up guy.

01:09:31.000 That's how I labeled him.

01:09:32.060 He's a stand-up guy.

01:09:33.140 He is.

01:09:33.600 Wonderful guy.

01:09:34.760 I have to tell you, Dwayne, I've had the honor to meet him a couple of times.

01:09:38.860 And my wife called him on one of my birthdays and said, hey, Jay, could I bring my husband over to your garage?

01:09:46.320 And just see some of the cars.

01:09:48.660 And he's like, oh, absolutely.

01:09:49.700 And I'll make sure I'm there.

01:09:50.920 And so, it was a surprise for me.

01:09:53.400 And he was so great, not just with me, but with the kids.

01:09:57.060 I had two little kids.

01:09:58.380 And they were at the time when their hands always had jam on it.

01:10:03.360 And they were crawling all over his Bugattis and everything else.

01:10:06.740 And I'm freaking out.

01:10:08.360 And he's like, oh, no, don't worry about him.

01:10:10.000 He took the kids for, like, probably 15 minutes and was driving them around in some of the cool electric cars from the turn of the century.

01:10:18.340 This guy is the real deal.

01:10:20.540 I really like him.

01:10:22.000 Really like him.

01:10:22.820 Absolutely, absolutely.

01:10:24.520 I mean, it was a surreal experience for me to meet him personally for the first time.

01:10:30.240 I've read things about him.

01:10:31.660 I've heard things about him.

01:10:32.800 And everything I read were all good things.

01:10:35.140 And that experience for me confirmed all that in my mind that he's just a stand-up guy.

01:10:40.920 Yeah, really cool.

01:10:42.440 Well, Dwayne, thank you so much.

01:10:45.260 I went to your website, which is, what, weahomes.com.

01:10:54.300 I would imagine you're not hurting looking at some of the homes you represent.

01:11:02.040 These homes are crazy.

01:11:04.820 Well, you know what it is.

01:11:07.620 It's a company that I'm attached to.

01:11:10.400 They represent a lot of the, what we'll call celebrities.

01:11:15.600 Most of them I call stars.

01:11:17.920 And, you know, they're all luxury properties throughout Beverly Hills, Malibu.

01:11:23.400 They have an office in Miami and working on one in New York now.

01:11:28.260 So they've been around for a while.

01:11:32.380 These are beautiful.

01:11:33.400 They deal with clients, their client.

01:11:36.180 When I say their, meaning the owners of the actual company, you know, their clientele,

01:11:40.720 from the Tom Brady's to the Tom Cruise's to the Ellen DeGeneres, you name it.

01:11:45.020 Bruce Willis, they represent everybody.

01:11:46.780 We represent everybody.

01:11:48.620 You know, so, you know, it's been a lot of fun.

01:11:51.100 I've been doing it since the 80s.

01:11:53.600 And, yeah, it's great.

01:11:58.000 It's great.

01:11:58.440 So what are people that buy a $70 million home like?

01:12:02.360 Are they just way out of touch, kind of sometimes different?

01:12:10.440 Are they, I mean, I've read stories about, I think it's 700 or 702 Central Park, I think it is.

01:12:21.760 And it's the first real huge apartment building in New York built around the Great Depression.

01:12:29.700 And the people that they said came in through it, they wanted elevators that would take them from the living room to the kitchen.

01:12:35.860 So they would have to run sideways.

01:12:37.660 And they were just talking to these people.

01:12:39.400 And they had no clue as to what real life was really even like.

01:12:43.960 That's, you know, back in the 1930s.

01:12:46.620 What are these people like?

01:12:47.900 I find people that buy in that market are a little different from people that would buy a $500,000 home, let's say.

01:12:57.700 You know, I mean, you know, you come across the strangest things.

01:13:01.960 It's important to be a diplomat and have an open mind because, you know, we agents, we want to close deals, you know.

01:13:09.640 And, you know, in terms of the people, we try not to judge.

01:13:14.560 You know, sometimes it can be a little hard not to.

01:13:18.980 But, yeah, they're a little different.

01:13:21.420 Can you – I mean, I wouldn't want to hurt you in any way.

01:13:25.760 So, I mean, feel free to say no on this.

01:13:27.600 But is there any – without attaching names or any kind of identifying stuff, is there any strange thing that you would care to share that you have experienced in your 30 years?

01:13:36.340 Well, every transaction is different, that's for sure.

01:13:43.000 Now, strange.

01:13:44.260 In terms of strange, normally privacy issues, you know, they want to be very private with their life and their lifestyle.

01:13:53.040 You know, that could be bringing in massive trees or foliage or building massive walls just for privacy, you know.

01:14:02.000 And, you know, you look at them like, okay, I understand your privacy.

01:14:07.220 But you sound like you want to – instead of seeing the house from the front, you want to cover the entire thing up where no one can see it from the front, the back, the top.

01:14:17.820 I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that, you know, in terms of building.

01:14:21.500 I mean, what do you – you might as well live in a cave if that's the case.

01:14:24.560 Right.

01:14:24.900 You know what I mean?

01:14:25.460 Right.

01:14:25.640 You know, it's just – I don't know.

01:14:28.460 It's just – it's different.

01:14:30.540 People are different.

01:14:31.440 Yeah.

01:14:31.640 People are really, really different.

01:14:34.140 And not only when you're dealing with 50-plus million, they're buying them cash.

01:14:37.860 At least that's how it works here in our town.

01:14:40.400 Wow.

01:14:40.840 That's got to be wild.

01:14:42.140 Dwayne, thank you so much.

01:14:43.300 Dwayne Henry, real estate agent out in the Los Angeles, Beverly Hills area who had Jay Leno just pop by to help fix his car.

01:14:55.360 Thank you so much.

01:14:56.280 Appreciate it, Dwayne.

01:14:57.220 God bless.

01:14:57.840 You know that – I mean, there couldn't be – if you had an old car or an old Mercedes especially, there – I mean, there would be – there would be nobody better that you could dream of to stop by than Jay Leno.

01:15:10.280 That's what he grew up working on, and that's what got him into cars in the first place with those old Mercedes.

01:15:17.480 I just – I just love the guy.

01:15:18.940 All right.

01:15:19.560 Let me tell you about Hustler Turf.

01:15:21.560 Hustler Turf got their start by building the toughest, most reliable commercial zero-turn lawnmowers.

01:15:27.840 For professionals in the landscaping industry.

01:15:30.500 That's where they started.

01:15:32.040 Well, they have decided a couple of years ago to bring their technology and innovation and high-quality machine building to you as well.

01:15:40.620 These residential mowers have commercial-grade components that are all built in.

01:15:45.840 You will feel it the minute you get on top of one of these things.

01:15:49.480 They are rock solid, built to last.

01:15:51.980 They over-engineer them.

01:15:53.420 They test them way beyond anything ever required.

01:15:55.900 These things are built to be able to mow lawns, honestly, you know, eight hours a day, five, six days a week.

01:16:02.660 That's where they started.

01:16:04.260 So they've taken all of that technology and all of that information and put it in to your lawnmower.

01:16:10.600 This will be the last lawnmower you ever buy, and you're going to love it.

01:17:05.960 Arguing with Socialists from Glenn Beck.

01:17:08.020 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:17:18.780 You know, one of the things that we can do to help each other is to reactivate our 912 project groups.

01:17:30.340 And get together and find out how you can help your own community.

01:17:34.080 I mean, just the staff of Mercury One jumped in their cars, I think this was last week, and went to Costco and bought a whole bunch of food and essential items.

01:17:45.280 And they created these boxes that now are in the trunk of every Irving, Texas.

01:17:52.400 That's where we, our studios are, in the back of all of the police patrol cars.

01:17:57.700 So, if somebody is on a call for a domestic abuse situation and one of the parents is taken away, the family is stabilized somewhat to make sure that there's food and essentials in the kitchen when that parent is taken away.

01:18:15.400 That's just that's just that's just the employees of Mercury One that that did that because of you.

01:18:20.860 Mercury One has just earlier this week sent 10,000 PPE level one gowns to the hospitals in New Orleans.

01:18:30.320 We are delivering hand sanitizer to police and fire and hospitals.

01:18:36.080 The Nazarene Fund is still conducting operations to rescue families in the Middle East.

01:18:41.060 There's a lot of adjustments that have had to be made on that.

01:18:44.520 And we really appreciate everybody who is still pledging to Mercury One.

01:18:51.400 We can't continue our work without you.

01:18:54.920 It's a it's an amazing group of people.

01:18:58.620 And I thank you if you are a monthly donor or if you've ever donated before to Mercury One dot org.

01:19:05.260 Please consider becoming a even five dollars a month a donor to Mercury One.

01:19:12.220 OK, the new book is out and next hour, we're going to kind of get into some of the things that is that is that are coming our way.

01:19:22.320 They're already in Congress talking about moving us down the line a little closer to universal health care.

01:19:30.620 They've got all kinds of new programs that they want to introduce for the hospitals.

01:19:36.040 We cannot go that way.

01:19:38.020 The reason why we're doing so well is because of the private sector.

01:19:42.920 Our hospital system is the best.

01:19:45.240 And if it would be deregulated a little bit more, it would be even better.

01:19:49.680 And we wouldn't have had to worry about building all of these little, you know, places where we have, you know, beds in in in, you know, stadiums, et cetera, et cetera.

01:20:00.760 We'd have the hospital beds.

01:20:02.920 It's regulation that is causing that to to not be built here in America.

01:20:08.220 But if you look at our health care compared to what's happening overseas, it's a mess.

01:20:14.760 It is an absolute mess overseas. 0.99

01:20:17.880 The things that they have had to do in in Europe and in Italy and the things that are happening and the rationing and everything else, because they no longer have a free market system in there should tell you all you need to know about universal health care and universal Medicare, Medicaid.

01:20:38.080 We have it in our new book, and we're going to talk about it coming up, arguing with socialists.

01:20:43.880 It's a new book that is out now at bookstores everywhere.

01:20:46.980 Pick up your copy now.

01:21:19.220 And we begin there in 60 seconds.

01:21:21.720 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:28.740 When I was a kid, the Internet was called the library and all the information you could possibly ever want was right there at your fingertips.

01:21:38.020 Unless you were living in a Stephen King novel, then the library was a, you know, a pretty safe place to be unless you were in a Stephen King.

01:21:46.380 But anyway, the Internet called the Internet and it's anything but safe.

01:21:52.340 Norton, the first name in Internet protection, understands and knows right now.

01:21:57.620 Everyone, including your kids on the Internet, a lot more than usual.

01:22:02.400 I don't know if you're having a problem with your kids, but I am really having a problem with mine.

01:22:05.600 They don't understand the potential dangers, no matter how much you preach to them.

01:22:11.640 They don't get it.

01:22:13.400 That's why Norton is here to help.

01:22:57.580 That's Norton dot com slash family.

01:23:03.440 All right.

01:23:04.160 So let's look at our coronavirus update.

01:23:06.520 First, the numbers total confirmed cases were now at one point five million up from one point four.

01:23:13.620 Almost one hundred thousand added to it.

01:23:15.440 Total confirmed deaths worldwide, almost at 90,000, up seven thousand yesterday.

01:23:21.300 The U.S. now has almost half a million that are confirmed cases.

01:23:26.220 Four hundred and thirty five thousand one hundred and sixty.

01:23:29.380 I can guarantee you there are a lot more than that.

01:23:33.340 Fourteen thousand seven hundred and ninety seven deaths.

01:23:37.800 That is up almost two thousand from yesterday.

01:23:41.760 Nearly two thousand deaths in the U.S. makes this the highest death rate day so far for the pandemic in any country on Earth.

01:23:51.540 U.S. has now officially tested two million people, just over two million people, 2.2, making the U.S.

01:23:58.680 44th in the rate of testing per one million in population.

01:24:03.600 Less than one percent of the population has been tested for covid-19.

01:24:06.940 What we have found out now is that the virus spreads nearly two times faster than previously estimated.

01:24:14.000 This is coming from Los Alamos, the national laboratory.

01:24:16.580 They published a study estimating the total number of other people infected by each SARS covid-2 carrier.

01:24:23.180 The research found people infected during the initial outbreak in Wuhan probably passed the virus to an average of five point seven others.

01:24:31.760 That's significant.

01:24:34.760 That is more than double the two to two point five other people estimated by the World Health Organization.

01:24:40.740 But we can't take them at their word on anything anymore.

01:24:45.560 Patients sick with the seasonal flu, by comparison, will infect about one point three people.

01:24:50.960 If the numbers are accurate, the coronavirus pandemic could only be stopped by a widespread vaccination or built immunity for at least 82 percent of the population.

01:25:02.620 That's according to researchers who reviewed the Chinese data from the CDC, including the mobile phone data that tracked the movement of patients leaving Wuhan.

01:25:11.860 The WHO is facing significant criticism for downplaying the contagious nature of covid-19 and China's role in in in the cover up to that stopped that could have stopped the spread of this virus.

01:25:31.360 But, of course, didn't.

01:25:33.820 More Western governments now agree the virus likely came from a Chinese laboratory, not from exotic food markets.

01:25:44.020 I don't know if this is good news or bad news.

01:25:47.180 I mean, it's good news that people aren't eating bat soup. 1.00

01:25:55.500 But it's but it's bad news that it came from a laboratory.

01:26:00.220 We can add now Great Britain to the growing list of governments who are confirming that SARS covid-2 virus likely came from the Chinese Communist Party backed viral research lab. 0.85

01:26:14.140 The U.S., U.K., Israel, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Germany have all reached similar conclusions.

01:26:21.520 The virus behind covid-19 was most likely laboratory grown.

01:26:26.120 That's farther than we went last night on our special last night.

01:26:31.500 We did a great special on the Chinese Communist Party and how it's just killing the world. 1.00

01:26:38.620 I want to play a little piece from that special where we we went over the evidence that it was actually and confirmed by the Chinese Communist Party before the outbreak that they were doing experiments with these particular bats.

01:26:56.120 very close to where they said the bat soup was watch. 0.99

01:27:00.800 In February, two researchers from the South China University of Technology published a paper that was immediately taken down.

01:27:09.840 Gee, I wonder why.

01:27:11.360 Let's take a look at their credentials.

01:27:13.320 Their resume looks pretty darn impressive.

01:27:16.180 Joint International Research Research Laboratory, South China University of Technology,

01:27:21.320 Hazong University of Science and Technology,

01:27:24.660 Wuhan University of Science and Technology.

01:27:27.240 Gee, I mean, they're not slouches.

01:27:29.440 They're not exactly a couple of Internet bloggers in their mommy's basement.

01:27:34.120 Well, maybe they didn't have a big name supporter.

01:27:36.920 Maybe they just went rogue.

01:27:39.040 But it says here they actually had the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

01:27:46.520 OK, so why did this get pulled?

01:27:48.520 It's easy.

01:27:49.440 Their scientific data went to counter the propaganda.

01:27:52.560 It was a question the Communist Party didn't want to be asked.

01:27:58.600 Their report detailed that not one single horseshoe bat was sold at the Wuhan animal market.

01:28:05.600 Let me quote.

01:28:06.760 According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors,

01:28:13.240 the bat was never a food source in the city and no bat was traded in the market.

01:28:19.480 In fact, the bats responsible for carrying the coronavirus come from an area over 550 miles away from the animal market.

01:28:30.140 So if the bats aren't from that area and there weren't any of them being sold in the market,

01:28:35.680 where did the outbreak come from?

01:28:38.400 Because the data, which now comes from multiple sources, isn't supporting the Wuhan animal market.

01:28:45.000 The two researchers screened the area and they found two locations near the market where both were known to be studying coronavirus.

01:28:54.480 One of them is only 300 yards away from the market.

01:28:58.340 That's the length of three football fields.

01:29:01.460 So that sounds like a good possibility.

01:29:03.100 What's the location?

01:29:03.900 The Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

01:29:09.500 The same exact place the researcher was gathering up horseshoe bats in the video.

01:29:16.220 That's where they worked.

01:29:18.220 Now, at this point, it seems pretty obvious.

01:29:20.980 But the researchers sum up their conclusions here.

01:29:23.740 Quote, in summary, someone was entangled with the evolution of the 2019 COVID coronavirus.

01:29:32.920 And in addition to origins of natural recombination and intermediate host,

01:29:38.540 the killer corona probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan. 0.92

01:29:43.520 End quote.

01:29:44.620 What's amazing about this is we showed you the video last night from the Chinese Communist Party,

01:29:52.400 where they have the researchers going out and collecting these bats and saying,

01:29:57.040 hey, we got to be really careful.

01:29:58.160 Don't get it on your skin or anything, because these are this is highly contagious.

01:30:02.480 It's very, very dangerous.

01:30:04.960 They were saying that.

01:30:06.180 And it was broadcast on the Chinese television by the official state television in I think

01:30:15.520 it was in November or early December.

01:30:18.280 And those are the people that were in those caves, taking those bats, saying how dangerous

01:30:24.040 it was.

01:30:24.580 They work and brought all of that stuff back to Wuhan. 0.73

01:30:30.220 Then there's the breakout.

01:30:34.060 Fascinating.

01:30:36.180 It's seems pretty hard to refute.

01:30:40.080 But right now, the Chinese are saying that it was an American military that brought it

01:30:47.620 over to Wuhan.

01:30:48.420 And they have proof because the so-called Wuhan virus was over in South Carolina last summer

01:30:57.780 and the United States government brought it over to China.

01:31:02.800 Doesn't sound like we're headed for any place nice.

01:31:05.420 But we could have seen this coming back years ago on this program.

01:31:11.440 We talked about epidemics.

01:31:13.380 What year was this from, Stu?

01:31:14.920 It's 2018.

01:31:16.820 May 2018.

01:31:17.800 2018.

01:31:18.440 Mm-hmm.

01:31:19.060 Okay.

01:31:19.480 And it's Wilson.

01:31:20.860 His book was Epidemic.

01:31:22.820 We talked to him.

01:31:23.900 Just nothing.

01:31:25.140 It wasn't like a big thing breaking out at the moment.

01:31:27.500 There was a little talk about the we were right just after the Ebola thing that, you know,

01:31:32.920 there wound up being Ebola patients that came in the United States, even here in Dallas where

01:31:37.200 we're broadcasting.

01:31:38.600 And we brought him on to kind of talk about what what the next threats could be.

01:31:43.560 Listen to this clip with with today's context.

01:31:49.080 So Ebola, you know, I think we're we're sitting here and there's really kind of two schools

01:31:57.300 or two camps, one that roll their eyes and like, OK, well, everybody always panics and

01:32:03.100 it's always fine.

01:32:04.260 And the other side that is like, we're ripe for a pandemic.

01:32:08.540 We're all going to die.

01:32:10.580 Where where is where are we?

01:32:13.900 Which side is is more accurate?

01:32:16.840 Well, I think the we're ripe for a pandemic is probably correct, although I don't I don't

01:32:21.840 think we're all going to die there.

01:32:24.280 But there are definitely reasons to be concerned about the state of the global public health

01:32:29.360 system.

01:32:29.720 It is not adequately prepared to deal with a pandemic, whether it's something that comes

01:32:35.320 out of, you know, the Congo River Basin, like Ebola, or whether it comes out of a, you

01:32:39.980 know, a bird market in China, like like a new flu or something like that.

01:32:46.280 Or have like a bird market in China.

01:32:48.940 Yeah, it could be anything.

01:32:50.420 A new flu, something like that.

01:32:53.960 Oh, OK.

01:32:55.280 Yeah.

01:32:55.720 All right.

01:32:56.360 Really bizarre to listen back to that.

01:32:57.820 He also went on to talk about one of the things that was that worked really well during the

01:33:03.800 Ebola situation was it, you know, as well as an Ebola situation can break out or it can

01:33:09.700 work out, is that it expanded in areas where we were well received.

01:33:16.660 Americans could go in and help.

01:33:18.300 Right.

01:33:18.560 And try to fight it.

01:33:20.040 Listen to this clip about that situation.

01:33:22.160 The United States effectively created Liberia back in the 1800s as a refuge for slaves,

01:33:28.140 former slaves who were returned back to Africa.

01:33:31.540 And the big moment when 3,000 American troops arrived, you know, the U.S. favorability rating

01:33:39.440 in Liberia is like 99%.

01:33:40.980 It was seen as this blessed moment when the great savior had come and really was going to

01:33:46.960 help turn the tide on this virus.

01:33:48.700 Imagine what happens if this virus pops up in Pakistan or Indonesia or China, even a place,

01:33:55.560 you know, a place where the 101st Airborne would have to fight its way in before it got

01:33:59.680 to fight the virus.

01:34:00.640 I mean, in the context of you talking about this, the lab and how they hid all these results,

01:34:05.500 this is exactly what he was talking about.

01:34:07.880 Right.

01:34:08.160 There was no way for anyone else to penetrate that society to find out what the hell was

01:34:12.780 actually going on.

01:34:13.860 So the rest of the world became completely unprepared and did not deal with it.

01:34:19.900 And honestly, like you notice the countries that did deal with it well, like a South Korea,

01:34:25.080 for example, Taiwan, are the countries that trust China the least.

01:34:30.340 Right.

01:34:30.560 They were they doubted them so strongly so early that they knew this is going to be bad.

01:34:35.440 And they prepared and went crazy at the very, very beginning.

01:34:38.160 And they shut everything down and they were tested.

01:34:41.260 They didn't shut everything down.

01:34:42.280 And some of these they caught it early enough to be able to do the whole test and track thing.

01:34:46.340 Not all that could be done here, of course, but it's interesting to see that because it's

01:34:50.340 exactly what he was talking about when the United States couldn't be involved like we were

01:34:56.680 in a place like Liberia.

01:34:58.680 We this thing blew out of out of control really fast.

01:35:01.560 We we thought we were involved because we had the W.H.O.

01:35:05.700 Yep.

01:35:06.100 And we pay the W.H.O. far more than any other country for its, you know, for its salary.

01:35:12.800 And so we thought that we would be able to trust them.

01:35:15.680 A lot of them are Americans, et cetera, et cetera.

01:35:18.300 We couldn't trust them.

01:35:19.460 They were deeply embedded with the Chinese government and they were lying to us and lying

01:35:24.940 to the rest of the world.

01:35:26.160 That's that's the real problem here was we had really dishonest brokers.

01:35:32.480 I don't know if you saw our secretary of state speak yesterday, but he was questioned about

01:35:39.360 how is our relationship with China and, you know, are we getting good information?

01:35:44.700 And, you know, how are we dealing with the fact that they appear to not have been telling

01:35:50.380 us the truth?

01:35:52.200 His answer was fascinating.

01:35:54.060 He said, this isn't the time.

01:35:56.840 Look, look, this is not the time to be talking about retribution.

01:36:02.400 This is the time just to get past this and just to get accurate information.

01:36:08.860 And I thought to myself, boy, he didn't ask about retribution.

01:36:13.040 Now, did you mean recriminations?

01:36:16.880 Or was this a Freudian slip?

01:36:19.600 What what where did you come up with the word retribution?

01:36:24.060 Um, because I think there is going to be some retribution here.

01:36:27.840 Uh, I think China is not going to be allowed to, uh, uh, use this for positioning, uh, use

01:36:38.320 this to become even more powerful.

01:36:40.280 I mean, what they're doing to France right now by saying, yeah, sure, we'll help you.

01:36:44.480 But you have to take our 5G network.

01:36:46.660 I think that's going to backfire on China, uh, seeing that this came from China itself.

01:36:52.660 Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there is a man leaning over a work table,

01:37:05.100 using a small knife to whittle at the chunk of wood and bring out the shape of a toy that hides inside.

01:37:10.480 He whistles softly to himself, old but nimble fingers, communing with the very art form itself

01:37:17.040 as they, as they dance mere feet away from the iconic and ironic sign that hangs in his toy shop.

01:37:25.120 Never worked a day in my life.

01:37:28.400 Sure, there are a few who have worked harder, but not when you love what you do.

01:37:33.780 Not when you, when you love what you do, you naturally have this sense of integrity because you love it.

01:37:42.380 Beneath the table, the old man's feet tap to the tune he's whistling.

01:37:46.040 They tap in comfort.

01:37:46.960 They tap in style because they're clad in a pair of Takovas boots.

01:37:50.340 They tap with the integrity of the man himself made with the finest leathers made by hand, no less 200 steps.

01:37:57.360 And he smiles because he's not a rich man.

01:38:01.320 He didn't pay a buttload of money for these boots.

01:38:04.540 He got them for a great price.

01:38:06.860 He smiles looking down at the very opening, the very opening phase of his creation.

01:38:12.640 Yeah, 200 steps, handmade.

01:38:14.960 Sounds about right to him.

01:38:16.820 Find your pair now of Takovas boots at Takovas, T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash Beck.

01:38:50.960 Thank you.

01:38:51.020 Thank you.

01:38:59.660 So there is a couple of stories I want to hit with you.

01:39:08.760 There's some really good stuff, and I want to hit some good news stories tomorrow.

01:39:13.540 If you have good news, will you share it with us so we can share it with the rest of the nation tomorrow?

01:39:19.480 I'd like to do some good news on Fridays and then kind of spoil that with Bill O'Reilly.

01:39:24.880 By the way, Bill O'Reilly, he did watch the Tiger King.

01:39:28.500 Oh, really?

01:39:29.140 He's going to come with his report tomorrow.

01:39:30.660 Yeah.

01:39:31.080 Oh, he's pissed off about it.

01:39:33.300 At you?

01:39:33.820 Oh, he's not happy about it.

01:39:35.520 Yeah.

01:39:35.800 Oh, yeah.

01:39:36.160 He's not happy about it.

01:39:37.800 I kind of figured he might be.

01:39:38.880 He did not enjoy it.

01:39:39.700 No?

01:39:40.420 Yeah.

01:39:40.800 He did not enjoy it.

01:39:44.040 So we'll cover that with Bill O'Reilly tomorrow.

01:39:47.600 Don't want to miss that.

01:39:48.460 When you're talking about good news, are you talking about the new style of appointments at the doctor we can look forward to?

01:39:55.260 Because I'm kind of pumped up about this.

01:39:57.300 It's so much more efficient.

01:39:59.920 Right.

01:40:00.840 Okay.

01:40:01.200 What are the new style of doctor appointments?

01:40:04.860 Yeah.

01:40:05.960 It's this really cool idea, and I think it would have worked really well through this crisis.

01:40:10.540 They're doing this in a lot of countries with single-payer health care now.

01:40:15.200 And, you know, just because Bernie Sanders dropped out does not mean we can't move this direction.

01:40:20.740 I know Joe Biden's talking about a big expansion to government health care.

01:40:24.200 Yeah, sure, sure.

01:40:24.700 Maybe we can get here, too, which is instead of having a, you know, sometimes we've been doing this for a while, where you have a doctor's appointment, and you go in with a doctor, and it's just you and the doctor in the room.

01:40:36.500 That's crazy.

01:40:37.600 First of all, why would you do that?

01:40:39.000 Let me give you a different exciting idea.

01:40:42.200 What if I had a cold, Glenn, you had a cold, and let's say a dozen other people had a cold.

01:40:48.740 Why do we all need to go for 15 or 14 different appointments when we can all go into the room at the same time with the same doctor, and he can kind of just do the little spiel once to all of us?

01:41:03.400 Now, some-

01:41:04.020 I am looking for the, where is this in the book?

01:41:07.140 I'm looking for this.

01:41:08.020 I know where this is coming from.

01:41:09.420 This is coming from the new book, Arguing with Socialists.

01:41:11.880 This is crazy.

01:41:13.020 What page is it on?

01:41:14.280 204.

01:41:14.640 Yeah, I was reading this yesterday, and it's like, this is, I mean, this is what I had never even heard of.

01:41:19.480 Where, like, and you think about it in context of what's going on now.

01:41:22.920 COVID-19, you know, the people, they're only testing people with symptoms, right?

01:41:27.300 We're not testing asymptomatic people, basically, at this point, because we don't have enough tests.

01:41:30.700 So, they're testing people who think they might have COVID-19.

01:41:34.160 Of those people, about 20% do.

01:41:37.420 So, then, you're talking about a doctor's appointment with 15 people in the appointment.

01:41:41.780 Only three actually have COVID-19, but when they walk out, it's really efficient.

01:41:48.860 All 15 of them will have COVID-19, which sounds wonderful.

01:41:52.700 I can't wait for this to come here.

01:41:54.800 Listen, this group appointments of between 10 and 15 people with the same condition have been piloted in Berkshire, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle, all over Great Britain.

01:42:06.840 It's a, according, according to the NIH, it's a fun and efficient way to meet with your doctor.

01:42:13.840 Yay! 0.99

01:42:14.640 Oh, yeah.

01:42:15.620 Yeah, really.

01:42:16.740 I got this growth on the back of my neck.

01:42:18.780 Hey, everybody, look.

01:42:20.520 What?

01:42:22.000 If that's what you want, America, keep going down this road. 0.97

01:42:28.360 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:42:34.420 I want to talk to you a little bit about Goldline.

01:42:36.820 I got an email in.

01:42:38.180 In fact, I've gotten several emails in recently about people that are buying gold.

01:42:43.840 And I can't recommend it highly enough.

01:42:47.520 I've been saying this for a very long time that you want to be able to have it.

01:42:53.060 I was talking about it when it was, you know, $300 an ounce.

01:42:57.140 The banking system, I think it was JP Morgan, came out and said that they estimate the gold will be between $2,900 and $3,200 an ounce by this time next year.

01:43:08.740 I don't know if that's true.

01:43:10.800 I hope to God that's not true, because that means the whole world is on fire.

01:43:16.360 But that's what they're saying.

01:43:18.040 And Goldman Sachs just came out and said, now it's time to buy some gold.

01:43:22.100 Please, please do not deplete all of your savings.

01:43:25.480 Don't take everything out.

01:43:27.660 And like 10% of what you have is a good, reasonable amount of gold.

01:43:35.000 The people that have physical gold and can ship it to you because there's a shortage is Goldline.

01:43:40.760 Call them right now.

01:43:41.840 866-GOLD-LINE.

01:43:43.600 1-866-GOLD-LINE.

01:43:46.080 Call them now.

01:43:47.540 The book is Arguing with Socialists.

01:43:49.460 It's available now at Amazon, anywhere you get your books.

01:43:51.720 Pick it up now, or you can go to Glenn Beck Book Signing and get a signed copy.

01:43:57.980 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:43:59.900 It's Thursday.

01:44:01.380 I'm going to show you the difference between what Blaze TV and Blaze Media does compared to regular media.

01:44:10.280 Let me just give you this story.

01:44:12.160 This is from Massachusetts Media.

01:44:15.700 The gunrunner in Middleborough received a cease and desist letter from town officials

01:44:19.780 after staying open despite a governor's order closing all non-essential businesses

01:44:24.020 during the coronavirus pandemic.

01:44:26.400 Town manager Bob Nunez confirmed that Middleborough Health Officer issued the retailer an order on Thursday.

01:44:33.180 While we certainly feel for our business community that's been impacted,

01:44:37.560 this unprecedented global health crisis is no time to defy the governor's orders,

01:44:42.560 and everyone has a part to play in helping slow the spread of this deadly disease.

01:44:48.040 Okay, it goes on from there.

01:44:49.900 Now you got it.

01:44:51.400 Some guy is standing up and saying,

01:44:53.540 I don't have to close.

01:44:54.440 I'm an essential business.

01:44:56.060 Okay, that's the way the media will tell the story.

01:44:59.880 I have John Costa on the phone.

01:45:01.540 We've never spoken before, but I know John Costa's story.

01:45:04.880 So I'm going to try to, in the next five or six minutes,

01:45:07.660 get him to tell the real story so you understand it with context.

01:45:13.120 John Costa, welcome to the program.

01:45:14.820 How are you, sir?

01:45:15.960 I am fine.

01:45:16.900 Thank you for having me.

01:45:19.040 You bet.

01:45:19.520 Now, John, I want to take you through.

01:45:21.180 I'm going to ask you some leading questions here,

01:45:23.640 because I want to take you through this story as quickly as I can.

01:45:26.360 All right?

01:45:27.360 So can you first tell me, you moved to the United States when you were two with your dad.

01:45:32.700 Why did you come over here?

01:45:35.100 Why did you come here?

01:45:36.900 First of all, my mother was born in River Point, Rhode Island.

01:45:41.120 Okay.

01:45:41.860 During the Depression.

01:45:43.820 And my grandparents didn't like it, so they went back to the Azores and, of course, took her with them.

01:45:50.580 And she spent many years there with her parents until one day some relatives of ours found out that she was an actual U.S. citizen.

01:46:02.180 And she wrote to her, and this was like 20-some-odd years later.

01:46:08.600 And she wrote to her, and they told her, you know, you can come to the United States.

01:46:13.460 You are a citizen.

01:46:14.340 And, of course, she wanted to get out of there, even though we weren't that bad off.

01:46:19.320 My father was an electrician over there in the Azores.

01:46:22.920 So we were surviving not too bad.

01:46:26.260 But at the time, it was Salazar, who was the dictator of Portugal, and he was as socialist as they come.

01:46:34.360 So they wanted out.

01:46:35.560 So my mother came to the United States pregnant with my brother Joseph

01:46:39.060 and worked at the mills in Rhode Island to make enough money to bring my father and I over to the United States.

01:46:47.580 And in the Azores at that time, under the socialist dictator, poverty was everywhere except within the government.

01:46:55.660 The people were arrested and imprisoned.

01:46:58.240 The families were persecuted on behalf of, you know, the other members that might be speaking out against the governor or the dictator in the government.

01:47:08.440 They were coerced.

01:47:10.140 You lost some family members due to poverty under the socialist rule.

01:47:14.340 So that's how you – that's the framework.

01:47:16.660 And your dad taught you about that.

01:47:19.720 Am I right in saying that?

01:47:21.880 My dad didn't ever say much of anything because everything disturbed him.

01:47:26.660 And so it was my mother.

01:47:27.860 She told me about what happened to my aunts and my uncles through the poverty and through the disease and everything.

01:47:36.140 And this government, they didn't care.

01:47:38.440 All they wanted was the money in their pockets and nothing else.

01:47:42.800 Okay.

01:47:43.540 So then you grow up and you decide to go and volunteer for service in the Navy and you fight in Vietnam, correct?

01:47:55.460 No, I did not fight in Vietnam.

01:47:57.580 I put in for Vietnam and I kept on getting sent to, like, Little Creek, Virginia, and then they sent me to Massachusetts, Newport, Rhode Island, and they shipped me out to the Sixth Fleet Mediterranean Force where all we did was play war games.

01:48:15.900 Numerous of times I put in for it, but I guess I was more important out there than anywhere else.

01:48:22.620 And when you were in school, you were the kind of guy that would protect the kids from bullies, especially anti-Semitism drove you crazy, right?

01:48:31.240 It did drive me crazy because I knew I was an immigrant and I was first picked on.

01:48:36.700 I didn't become a citizen until I was 11 years old.

01:48:39.700 And that's when I became a citizen of this country, this great country, by the way, under naturalization.

01:48:48.520 And, yes, and then while I was in school, especially like the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth grade and places like that, we had a lot of foreign, well, not foreign immigrants that came over.

01:49:01.340 We had Italians, we had Jewish, we had all of this, and if you were any of those, you were in trouble.

01:49:08.340 They would come to you, they'd take your lunch, they'd threaten you, and it wasn't just one, it was like in groups.

01:49:14.600 You wonder why there's school shootings today and stuff like that.

01:49:19.240 Well, guess what?

01:49:20.240 It's the bullies.

01:49:21.460 But anyways, that's what happened, and I said to myself, I can't have this.

01:49:25.480 I'd tell my father, and my father would say, well, kick their butt.

01:49:28.860 I said, you can't kick butt on a little bunch of people.

01:49:32.340 Well, seek them out one by one.

01:49:34.940 Advise them of what could happen if they continued to go that route.

01:49:39.200 So I did.

01:49:40.140 And guess what?

01:49:40.880 It worked.

01:49:42.080 It worked very well.

01:49:43.880 So this is the kind of guy that you've been your whole life.

01:49:47.200 My whole life, yeah.

01:49:48.720 Now, you finally get your own gun store, and what happens with your first gun store?

01:49:56.400 When did you, was it 2000?

01:49:59.500 When was that?

01:50:00.540 My first gun store was in 1986.

01:50:03.920 1986.

01:50:05.200 I had to do something out of necessity.

01:50:08.440 I got hurt at work real bad.

01:50:10.640 I was disabled for three years.

01:50:13.620 Selled my case with the insurance company, and they tried everything under the sun to say from everything that I was crazy,

01:50:20.400 to this, to that, that I needed a psych, anything they could think of to stop supporting me.

01:50:27.480 So finally, I told my wife, Frances, what am I good for?

01:50:31.060 I can't go back to the same work I used to do.

01:50:33.700 I don't know much else.

01:50:35.120 I didn't have all kinds.

01:50:36.180 I didn't have all these degrees that these college people have.

01:50:40.520 And so I said, there's only something else that I know of and love, by the way, is the firearms industry.

01:50:48.320 So I decided to open my first gun shop.

01:50:52.400 All right.

01:50:52.840 So I'm going to skip ahead here in just a sec.

01:50:56.760 I want to be able to have you tell the important part of the story.

01:50:59.820 You were in a strip mall.

01:51:01.360 It was bought out by a Rhode Island company that was highly anti-Second Amendment.

01:51:06.040 They wanted you out of business.

01:51:07.400 They had no valid legal reasons to evict.

01:51:11.220 Then after 9-11, the anti-gun insurance companies hit them, the landlord, with increases in insurance costs,

01:51:18.080 which were passed directly onto you and nobody else in that strip mall.

01:51:22.680 And so you had to leave the gun business.

01:51:25.060 And then you finally opened it again in 2008, a gun shop in Middleborough, Massachusetts, where you are.

01:51:32.920 And now the government is saying that you're not an official, you're not an essential business.

01:51:41.460 You have to close, even though that's not what the federal government said.

01:51:45.280 What did your governor do?

01:51:47.740 Well, I've gotten all kinds of threatening letters from them, especially Maura Healey. 0.98

01:51:53.640 I like to call her Moron Healey, but anyways.

01:51:57.700 And, oh, she's got my name.

01:51:59.740 It's going to cost me so much per day for all the time I'm opened and this and that.

01:52:05.160 And to this day, I haven't heard anything yet.

01:52:07.900 I don't know what her next little game's going to be.

01:52:12.180 But we are in serious trouble with this anti-Second Amendment government, these socialists, exactly is what they are.

01:52:20.720 And I will not stand for it.

01:52:22.860 I will not close.

01:52:23.980 They're going to have to drag me out of here or kill me, one or the other.

01:52:28.180 And that's how I feel about it.

01:52:29.820 Now, here's the thing that the federal government says that gun stores and gun ranges, et cetera, et cetera, are essential business.

01:52:39.780 But your governor removed that line.

01:52:43.140 So your governor removed not only the fact that you were essential and could remain open, but the governor also then removed your ability from getting any help as a business because you were forced to close.

01:52:58.220 So all the governor is trying to do is just force you and people like you out of business.

01:53:04.000 That is correct.

01:53:04.740 At least that's what it seems like.

01:53:05.860 That is correct.

01:53:07.260 He's trying to force us out of business.

01:53:09.820 I mean, this is the insanity of his plans.

01:53:13.440 He's allowing package stores to remain open.

01:53:17.420 Oh, really?

01:53:18.360 Well, why do you think that's that?

01:53:19.820 Because Massachusetts collects a hefty tax from that.

01:53:23.320 They don't want to lose that.

01:53:24.760 They want the money in their pocket.

01:53:26.080 They want to be able to continue to become more and more powerful to put us out of business.

01:53:32.120 And by the way, that includes everyone.

01:53:35.300 All they want is the money.

01:53:36.600 They have no love for us.

01:53:38.900 They're not worried about the coronavirus.

01:53:41.020 They're using that as a backdrop to put us Second Amendment people totally gone, out of business.

01:53:47.520 And that's the way it is.

01:53:48.780 And I will not stand for it.

01:53:50.780 So your business, GunrunnerLLC.com, and your brick-and-mortar business, how are people coming in?

01:54:01.220 Oh, I'm telling you, we had to use a separate line because the phone keeps on ringing, number one.

01:54:07.680 Number two, they keep on showing up at the door.

01:54:10.140 We don't let anyone in because we're not stupid.

01:54:12.640 We're not going to let people come into our store and, you know, spread whatever virus they might have.

01:54:19.920 So they're outside.

01:54:21.060 They're in the air.

01:54:22.080 We go to the door.

01:54:23.400 We talk to them outside.

01:54:24.900 We find out what they're looking for.

01:54:26.960 Hopefully we have it.

01:54:28.420 Most people come in just for ammo.

01:54:30.520 Ammo is really bad right now because we can't keep up to the demand.

01:54:34.640 And my firearms inventory is dwindling like you will not believe.

01:54:41.220 And just the other day, yesterday, we had to do a four-hour drive all the way to Westfield, Mass,

01:54:47.260 to get a hold of one of our distributors because they had what we needed,

01:54:51.920 but they wouldn't be able to ship until a week later.

01:54:54.600 That's too late.

01:54:55.760 So we got up.

01:54:56.840 My wife and I got up early in the morning, real early in the morning,

01:55:00.280 to go all the way to Westfield, Mass, to pick up all this crucial supply.

01:55:04.660 And brought it back yesterday morning, and we're just about out all over again.

01:55:10.280 John, you might feel alone up there in Massachusetts, but I want you to know you're not.

01:55:16.260 There's a lot of Americans that feel the same way, that our Second Amendment is sacrosanct,

01:55:23.180 and I appreciate you standing up, and I wish you peace and good luck.

01:55:27.480 Thank you, John.

01:55:28.660 Thank you so much, Glenn.

01:55:30.960 You bet.

01:55:31.380 That's John Costa from TheGunRunnerLLC.com.

01:55:35.740 I love John Costa.

01:55:37.660 I do, too.

01:55:38.660 Isn't that a better way to tell the story than the way the press in Massachusetts is telling you?

01:55:43.100 They're making him sound like a complete nut.

01:55:45.580 He has a reason he's standing up for the Constitution.

01:55:49.680 He was born and raised to not trust socialists and big governments.

01:55:56.620 And, you know, at the end of the day, when this is all over, and this goes through the court system or whatever,

01:56:01.200 he's got to win these things, right?

01:56:02.800 He probably wins.

01:56:03.880 He's not right.

01:56:05.320 Oh, well, you know, the biggest part of this is the fact that the governor of the state took them off of essential business.

01:56:12.300 Okay.

01:56:12.820 All right.

01:56:13.280 But then to say, you're not an essential business, so you have to close, and I'm removing your kind of business from eligibility to get any kind of funding.

01:56:25.000 So, in other words, he's dooming and damning these businesses to death.

01:56:30.000 That's just, that's dictatorial.

01:56:33.840 Absolutely dictatorial.

01:56:36.200 And he will win when he gets his day in court.

01:56:41.400 All right.

01:56:42.400 Rectech.

01:56:42.960 I got to tell you, I'm going to have another great piece of meat tonight.

01:56:46.900 Rectech grills.

01:56:47.940 They are so good.

01:56:49.000 If you're watching the, put that back up on the screen.

01:56:51.140 If you're watching Blaze TV, I have the one in the middle with the horns that, you know, to open it up.

01:56:57.860 It's just a great grill.

01:57:00.040 This grill was made by grillers.

01:57:02.680 These are people that, in 2008, were building other things, and one of the guys was like, you know what?

01:57:09.340 I just, I want to do what I love.

01:57:11.940 I can't get a job anywhere.

01:57:13.480 I'm going to start making the best grill.

01:57:15.640 And these are the best grills.

01:57:18.780 They really are.

01:57:20.060 They are made with the heaviest metals.

01:57:23.180 They're built rock solid.

01:57:25.300 It's honestly, it's twice the grill that you're going to find in the stores.

01:57:29.300 And the reason why it is the same price as, you know, a really good grill, but twice the grill is because they've cut out the middleman.

01:57:37.900 These were built by grillers for grillers.

01:57:41.640 A group of American men who just said, I just want to make them right.

01:57:46.240 And they do.

01:57:47.400 Rectech.

01:57:48.000 They are great.

01:57:49.120 And for somebody like me who does, I don't smoke any meat or anything because it's, I'm not going to sit there and watch the logs and tend to the charcoal briquettes and all of that crap.

01:57:59.340 I'm not going to do it.

01:58:00.680 This is so easy.

01:58:02.920 It's all electronic.

01:58:04.820 It feeds the wood pellets in through it.

01:58:07.560 You said it.

01:58:08.440 You don't have to worry about it at all.

01:58:10.860 Built by grillers for grillers.

01:58:12.980 It's rectechgrills.com, rectech, R-E-C-T-E-C, grills with an S dot com.

01:58:21.360 Thank you so much for listening.

01:58:23.320 Thank you for everything that you do.

01:58:26.240 Thank you for somehow or another making it through this crazy, crazy time with your family intact and you intact.

01:58:34.540 Thanks for not freaking out, being part of the problem.

01:58:38.400 At least yet, I could go.

01:58:39.880 I could become part of the problem really quickly.

01:58:41.620 I am about, I don't know about anybody else, but I've about had it.

01:58:46.320 Okay.

01:58:46.700 I'm ready to be released.

01:58:50.660 I'm ready to be released.

01:58:52.540 Yeah.

01:58:52.780 It was time to go.

01:58:54.140 It is.

01:58:54.800 It's interesting to see now.

01:58:56.300 I think people are starting to try to figure out any way to get out of the house.

01:59:01.160 Like whether like the excitement to go to the gas station or through a drive through or to a grocery store has never been higher in the United States of America.

01:59:11.500 Just to see another person that's not the person, the people that you have been seeing constantly for three days.

01:59:20.480 Just hello.

01:59:22.020 You feel like, you know, you always hear mothers say, I just want to talk to an adult.

01:59:25.660 I just want to talk to an adult.

01:59:27.180 That's the way everybody in America who's in home quarantine feels like right now.

01:59:31.540 Just, I just want to talk to somebody else.

01:59:33.680 I don't care.

01:59:34.540 You, you, you know what?

01:59:36.020 You're going to murder me afterwards.

01:59:37.380 That's fine.

01:59:37.800 Can we just talk for five minutes first?

01:59:39.520 Can we just, we just tell me what you've been doing?

01:59:42.200 Because I haven't been doing anything.

01:59:43.400 What have you seen?

01:59:44.100 Who have you talked to lately?

01:59:45.760 I mean, that's the way it is.

01:59:47.420 I mean, imagine going back to like the little house in the prairie days where like you basically,

01:59:52.340 it was just basically you and your, your smelly, you know, family who didn't shower.

01:59:58.620 And then occasionally some, you know, person would come by and try to kill one of them.

02:00:02.640 That was like your life.

02:00:04.180 Right.

02:00:04.820 I know.

02:00:05.320 You're like, well, wait, can we talk first?

02:00:07.620 I mean, put the tomahawk down for a second.

02:00:10.080 Tell me about yourself.

02:00:10.960 Tell me what you've been, what have you seen lately?

02:00:12.680 Is there anything going on in the other towns?

02:00:16.220 How about, how about, you know what?

02:00:18.620 Let's have a meal.

02:00:20.260 You cook.

02:00:21.820 And if it involves one of the children, that's fine.

02:00:23.740 But you cook.

02:00:24.360 We haven't been out to a restaurant in years.

02:00:26.980 Go ahead.

02:00:27.780 Then you can kill us.

02:00:28.820 Just one night.

02:00:30.080 Just one night with different people.

02:00:32.980 All right.

02:00:33.660 We'll see you.

02:00:34.740 We'll see you on the radio tomorrow and in the bookstore with the brand new book,

02:00:40.360 Arguing with Socialists.

02:00:42.460 Grab it online right now.

02:00:43.880 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

02:00:45.820 All right.
