Glenn Beck travels to California to talk about a disturbing video of an Asian woman touching everything in a Best Buy store and why we should be worried about it. Glenn also talks about the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in San Joaquin County, CA and what we should do about them. Glenn then turns to China and why they should be considered an act of war.
00:04:04.280So, in San Joaquin County, the Public Health Services has now confirmed that their cases there in that county have exceeded 100.
00:04:28.000And when they were asked to specifically provide the ages of those individuals, their gender, city, how COVID-19 was acquired, the agency was also asked to provide the number of hospitalizations, the number of patients who required ventilators, how many resided in nursing homes, how many stayed in home to recuperate, how many have recovered.
00:04:47.340The county health officials have declined.
00:04:52.100We're not sure why they are declining.
00:04:55.340But is there something that we should be looking at in San Joaquin County in California?
00:05:41.520And they're talking about now finding, like, gatherings.
00:05:45.940Like, I think it was in Brooklyn, too, where they identified, because of cell phone data, a gathering that they sent authorities to based on this invasive.
00:05:59.140And the New York Times said, well, no, this was just all metadata.
00:06:02.260We were not looking at anybody specifically.
00:06:04.340And then in the article, and look at this person that lives here.
00:06:07.460They went from three miles to 61 feet.
00:06:14.220I mean, we have to get into that as well.
00:06:17.160The reason why I bring up San Juan Key Valley is there is a very important military base or depot, if you will.
00:06:29.160In this area is the DDJC, which is their mission is to provide all the receive, to store, and to ship government-owned supplies and equipment to the military customers in all of the western U.S.
00:06:46.600and the entire Pacific theater of operations.
00:06:49.960Okay, this is our strategic platform, the West Coast hub of all of our military operations.
00:07:01.520So if we ever go to war in the Pacific, this is the supply line.
00:07:06.940Okay, and this is right down the street from this Walmart that you might have seen yesterday in a Twitter feed.
00:07:21.340Now, I don't want to jump to any conclusions here.
00:07:25.880I just think we should be opening our eyes to things.
00:07:30.320And I'm going to, I think there's evidence that is mounting that what China has, what we're experiencing now is close to an act of war.
00:07:47.320They obviously knew much more than they were telling the rest of the world.
00:07:51.600So the rest of the world was just not prepared.
00:07:54.580The CIA now is looking into the numbers in China.
00:07:58.040We know they lied to us, and they lied horribly.
00:08:02.240Today, I'm going to show you who's involved.
00:08:05.040The WHO is absolutely involved in this.
00:12:23.860And they have their hands around the throat of so many organizations and countries right now.
00:12:32.640And they are just going to try to squeeze.
00:12:35.120And I have a feeling that we are going to start to move towards initial kind of war footing.
00:12:41.840You know, if you really want to change the world, I've told you this before.
00:12:46.620I told you, you know, when things really go crazy and you have a giant fiscal crisis, I've told you that that will lead us to war because you can change everything in a war.
00:12:59.640Right now, we are locked down and the enemy is this invisible enemy.
00:13:05.700If indeed they are trying to change the dollar and our financial system and even the way we govern, you are going to need something beyond a invisible enemy.
00:13:19.700And I think China may be that that actual enemy.
00:13:24.840So let me go back to that woman in that store in California.
00:14:50.420It almost looks like an OCD type of thing, but it looks intentionally like she's trying to basically put her hands on every place where someone else might touch it.
00:15:00.500OK, now, this woman may be an American.
00:15:02.580Let's not make the mistake that we made in World War Two under the progressive guidance of the racist FDR.
00:15:11.720So this woman may be an American and she may be she may be insane.
00:16:19.100They are shipping in people to Mexico and then getting them to cross our borders.
00:16:23.820The thing you have to know is you are going to start to see really bad conspiracies mixed with fact in the social media world, especially you can't trust the the regular media.
00:16:45.100You must have a source that you trust.
00:16:48.560You must have a source that tries its hardest to get it right, that, you know, is balanced, will not go one way or another just for popularity or ratings or anything else.
00:16:59.920I know it sounds like I'm trying to describe myself, but if you don't find me to be that person, that is fine.
00:17:06.840Find someone, find someone and then find another source as well.
00:17:13.380But you really need to look out because there's going to be all kinds of we're coming up to a presidential election.
00:17:21.080And don't think that China, don't think that Russia, don't think that people in our own country are not already going online to stir things up.
00:17:31.620We have to be very, very careful right now.
00:17:35.860Now is the time that I've warned you about.
00:20:12.640They are failed socialist countries that back in the 70s and 80s started getting away from that.
00:20:19.480They're almost all much more free economically and with business than we are.
00:20:27.500But you're seeing now some of these socialist countries, they're collapsing.
00:20:33.320The socialist health care is collapsing, but you're going to see cries.
00:20:37.640I'm telling you, once you see what's coming on our border, you are going to have a humanitarian crisis and every good it's going to overwhelm our systems.
00:20:47.980And by summer, we're going to be having these debates.
00:21:30.320And when they started being less active, Leslie began worrying about him.
00:21:34.280Plus, Shiloh can be pretty picky about what he would what he would eat.
00:21:37.860And this is starting to be a problem because, you know, his health on top of the age, yada, yada.
00:21:44.500Well, Leslie just started putting rough greens onto the food of the dogs to see if it might help.
00:21:49.500She said within 10 days of starting both Shiloh and Liam, not only they started loving their food more, but they also started to have more energy.
00:23:15.060I mean, salad dressing has really gone through.
00:23:17.860Well, anyway, I didn't hear your point about sacrificing yourself for the country in the economy on last Tuesday's show.
00:23:24.340But I did hear Stu talking about how you were trending and not such a good way.
00:23:29.340You know, what's crazy is they are still running stories about me saying that old people should go out and just work the economy and sacrifice themselves.
00:26:13.740This government is so disconnected from our reality.
00:26:16.560Our president, although he's not perfect, I feel has more heart for our country than he can express and is trying to do and trying to right the wrongs.
00:26:52.580Next chapter and to make sure that you hear the next chapter.
00:26:56.180Our next chapter is going to be up to us on how we react right now.
00:27:02.580If we give up right now our chapter for our children, there won't be a next chapter.
00:27:10.580We will close the book on America and they will have to start from scratch.
00:27:16.580The reason why the president was so clear when he first said we have to shut down the economy and the press was saying, how can you possibly?
00:27:25.860He said, look, do you know, do you know what it will cost if we just decimate this economy?
00:27:34.580If we just have and let it run and everything is overwhelmed and we don't act in time, everything will be lost.
00:27:45.260What we're trying to do is shut the economy down and then restart it as soon as we can, because you don't you want to have something left to be able to start back up.
00:27:57.940This is the hope I, I, it's never been attempted before, but you know what?
00:29:38.440I read it all because I just couldn't put it down.
00:29:40.900I'm familiar with the concept of CEN, stands for childhood emotional neglect, been described in the book called running out of gas or something similar and parallels your case for coming in terms with yourself and your childhood before you can really be content in your own good skin.
00:30:04.460But when I told the Goldline representative that I heard the Goldline commercial on your show, you would have thought I bought millions of dollars in gold.
00:30:12.220Hey, Glenn, I listen regularly on KTOK in Oklahoma City.
00:30:18.300I must reach out to you about your comment last Tuesday morning that the Tigers were the only one that made any sense on Netflix Tiger King.
00:32:42.420Well, yeah, I mean, just on the evidence here, Glenn, you know, California looked like they were going to have a massive breakout in a couple of places as well.
00:32:49.480It has not been as bad, nearly as bad as New York.
00:32:52.960You know, he has been complimentary to the president over and over again, saying how he's been able to get resources there quickly.
00:33:00.920You know, look, Gavin Newsom is Gavin Newsom.
00:33:03.460But in comparison, if you're picking Andrew Cuomo or Gavin Newsom based on performance in this thing, I mean, Newsom is completely outperforming him.
00:33:11.160I just feel like the people in the media all live in New York City.
00:33:14.060And he's the one person who looks mildly competent around there, even though he's not.
00:33:18.620And they're they're they're all terrified for their lives.
00:33:21.180And so they're watching him on TV every day.
00:33:23.180But I mean, Newsom's clearly, I think, done a better job so far.
00:34:46.080Have you seen what's happened on 33rd Street?
00:34:48.380I mean, they're just they're so focused on themselves and their arrogance.
00:34:54.220That's the only reason why he's a superstar, by the way, I have to go back and look at the actual email where the 25 year old pharmacy tech.
00:35:04.580I'm going to send you a copy of my new book.
00:35:06.700He ends his email with thanks for helping this young conservative live through tough times.
00:36:30.360At long last, as was foretold in the prophecies of old, the great protective curtain of civil modernity had been pulled back in the age of the dude bro has arrived.
00:36:49.600He sits in a chair, room festooned with half-open pizza boxes, brightly colored McDonald's cheese wrappers, ready the first sign of weakness to charge into the digital world of your devices and steal your identity.
00:37:04.160He hollers over his shoulders up the stairway for mom.
00:38:21.080I do believe that because of planting, crops, just because of transportation and just different things, we are going to face some food shortages around the world.
00:38:33.800Hopefully it won't be so bad here in America, but I urge you to pay attention to it.
00:38:37.940Farmer and milk producers now are dumping thousands of gallons of milk that's just crossed my desk.
00:38:42.820As processing and delivery supply chain disruptions prevent the ability to get key ingredients to finish milk, this is the peak of milk production for farmers.
00:38:53.700Milk processors are full due to the lack of production capacity as workers have been furloughed or dislocated due to travel restrictions and confusion about what is essential.
00:39:03.520So they've been asked to dump two days worth of milk in some regions as they struggle to get the key ingredients for pasteurization.
00:39:11.380Wisconsin dairy farmers are citing store closings and lower restaurant demands as milk or cream is a key ingredient in restaurant recipes.
00:39:19.920And the demand has dropped to zero in some areas.
00:39:23.740This is going to hurt the dairy farmers of America who are already really close to collapse as it is before this thing hit.
00:56:21.040So, Bill, I agree with you 100% that all of these decisions should be made at the local level.
00:56:25.880And it bothers me that all of these governors have been begging the president to, you know, call up the National Guard for their states.
00:56:36.120I think a lot of these, I had Candace Owens on yesterday, and she said, I think, you know, I'd like to see, notice that all of these states that are begging for all this money are the ones that are on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:56:46.780And they're getting giant bailouts from the government.
00:56:51.460I think all of these things have to be made at a local level.
00:56:54.900But you have states like Virginia that have now said you could go to jail for leaving your house.
00:59:58.340You have a CIA report issued this week that says the Chinese Communist government actively misled everyone about the severity of the pandemic.
01:00:49.480I remember hearing him stop flights from China and the world reacted that he was a racist.
01:00:54.280And then I remember having my breath taken away when he said, I'm starting all I'm stopping all flights from Europe, which everybody complained about and said was reactionary.
01:01:04.800And I remember hearing it, thinking, oh, my gosh, this is serious.
01:01:09.800I can't imagine a president doing that.
01:01:37.360And one of the things that you probably want to avoid if if you are dealing with if you wanted to talk, like, for example, E.D., you don't want to go to a doctor.
01:01:47.080You don't have a discussion with a doctor.
01:01:48.840It's it's I mean, you're glad you live in this world for that one reason.
01:01:52.780So you don't have to have any awkward in person conversations.
01:01:57.300Roman was built for this moment because Roman allows you to get treatment.
01:02:02.160If medication is the right thing, then Roman will just ship it to you for free with free two day shipping.
01:02:07.760They've been doing this for a long time.
01:03:40.500How does what what would you be telling the president or what would you be looking at if you were a presidential political advisor today?
01:03:49.020Well, Americans are going to understand the economy is going to be in trouble as long as a pandemic is affecting people's lives and keeping them inside.
01:04:02.120So I don't see that as a major problem.
01:04:03.960But I've said from the very beginning of this whole ordeal that if Donald Trump can get the pandemic under control this summer, he wins.
01:04:12.560If by September it's not under control, the kids cannot go back to school in many places, people are not opening up businesses again.
01:04:46.880But Trump knows that his whole future in politics depends on getting this pandemic to subside.
01:04:55.500And that's where 100 percent of everything is going.
01:04:58.860He can't do anything about the economy while this thing rages.
01:05:01.760So that's the answer to your question.
01:05:03.800Has the government done enough to tell people when their checks are arriving, tell people businesses that are laying people off how to even apply for these loans?
01:05:19.480When do you think that's going to be really out there and people are using those things?
01:05:38.840So, I mean, look, one of the reasons that you and I have been in the forefront of this pandemic is because hundreds of thousands of people, maybe millions of people, trust us.
01:05:52.540Right. So at Bill O'Reilly dot com, we have an unprecedented surge of hundreds of thousands of people a week coming in for information.
01:06:02.840And I can give them information like if you file your IRS tax return electronically, you don't have to do anything.
01:06:11.880You'll get your check if you're under the threshold of earnings.
01:06:14.880If you mail it in, you'll still get your check, but it'll be three or four weeks later because the bureaucracy takes that long to stuff it in an envelope and send it to you.
01:06:26.500I can give you that information, but I can't give you micro information about small business.
01:06:32.040So the government should have a website and it should be promoted dramatically everywhere.
01:15:03.100I want to talk to you a little bit about blinds.com.
01:15:05.720Look, I know you got about 300 things left on your honey to-do list.
01:15:10.120But if you're living in your house and it looks like, you know, maybe you were, you know, Bonnie and Clyde lived in your house or the Civil War happened around your house because the blinds look like somebody's been poking guns through them and shooting them up.
01:15:24.960You might be, you might be, you might want to add this to your honey to-do list.
01:15:29.240Blinds.com right now, making it as simple as possible to shop for top quality blind shades and interior shutters from your home with online ordering and free shipping right to your door.
01:15:41.040You don't have to be nervous about doing it yourself.
01:15:43.220They've been doing this for a very long time.
01:15:46.460They've walked millions of people through this process throughout the years, and you can talk to one of their design experts either online or on the phone for free.
01:15:57.840It's a 100% guarantee, perfect fit for your windows.
01:17:02.440If you happen to be watching us on Blaze TV, I'm operating from my own home, and I'm in my art studio in my house.
01:17:12.120And behind me, you will see a painting that I started yesterday.
01:17:15.800I should have it finished by next week.
01:17:19.080It's the painting of American Gothic, you know, the father and daughter standing in front of the house with the pitchfork.
01:17:27.580I put them in surgical masks, and I should be done with that next week.
01:17:32.560I'm going to auction it off for charity and see if we can raise some money to help some of these communities that are really hard hit with Mercury One.
01:17:42.100So, we'll be putting that up, and maybe we'll make some t-shirts or something like that.
01:17:46.580But I really want to do my part in helping our charity, Mercury One.
01:17:52.160Yesterday, we did a big fundraiser, raise some money.
01:20:39.820I have to thank God car mechanics are on the list of people who are considered essential workers in the U.S.
01:20:49.660Otherwise, you know, you'd be fixing your own car as it broke down.
01:20:53.880Or in my case, you'd just be walking and swearing a lot.
01:20:57.520Probably you still have the mechanics.
01:21:01.900All you need now to make sure that you can repair your car is to have Car Shield.
01:21:06.460Car Shield has an affordable protection plan that can save you thousands of dollars for a covered repair that includes the computer and the GPS and the electronics and so much more.
01:21:16.060And with Car Shield, you're behind the wheel of the plan.
01:21:19.840It's a customizable monthly plan with rates as low as ninety nine bucks a month.
01:21:24.140You can choose your favorite mechanic or dealership to do the work.
01:21:26.920It doesn't matter because Car Shield writes the check directly to them.
01:21:30.040You're not waiting around or anything.
01:21:31.800They have a rental car while yours is in the shop.
01:21:34.200They have 24 seven roadside assistance and they've already covered paid out.
01:21:40.400I think I don't remember the number now.
01:21:44.220I just I know they've helped a million customers fix their car.
01:21:48.280The number that they have paid out is it's a little staggering.
01:21:51.560But they're America's number one auto protection provider with rates as low as ninety nine dollars a month.
01:22:38.100Confirmed cases now require hospitalization.
01:22:40.520That is roughly on par with Italy at twelve percent requiring hospitalization and lower than Spain, where it is 18 percent of the patients require hospitalization.
01:22:50.440We now have two hundred and forty five thousand three hundred and eighty confirmed cases and six thousand ninety five people have died.
01:23:00.440That is up about forty thousand from yesterday and up a thousand deaths from yesterday.
01:23:09.660The White House now is going to recommend all Americans wear face masks in public.
01:23:14.820President Trump said yesterday that they are considering a recommendation.
01:23:18.540He says the recommendation is coming out.
01:23:20.620I don't think it's going to be mandatory.
01:23:21.780If people want to wear the masks, they can.
01:23:25.180However, we shouldn't be using masks that, you know, our surgeons and our nurses and everybody else need at the hospital.
01:23:33.520Later, somebody from the White House said that they're going to narrowly target areas with highly community community transmission.
01:23:42.060And that's the matter that remains under discussion whether they're going to do this for the whole country or not.
01:23:46.760A new memo from the CDC says in light of new data, CDC recommends the community use cloth masks as additional public health measure that you can use to prevent the spread of the virus to those around.
01:23:57.800This news comes as Laredo, Texas, joins more than a dozen American cities or counties that have mandated the use of face masks for all people in public spaces, such as grocery stores or shopping centers.
01:24:11.020Violators without a face mask, at least in Laredo, face up to a thousand dollar fine.
01:24:18.260Similar provisions are now being considered in the entire state of California, according to Gavin Newsom's office.
01:24:23.800Antibody tests are getting accelerated availability, unlike vaccine testing and production, which could take months, if not years.
01:24:34.720SARS-CoV-19 antibody tests could be available in the U.S. in just a few weeks.
01:24:41.560Now, this could be the key to opening America back up and getting us out of our shelter in place.
01:24:47.280If you already have an immunity to this virus, you could go back to work.
01:24:52.120Most known coronavirus immunities, however, in humans are not permanent.
01:24:58.320Researchers say that, you know, the flu, for example, it grants only a seasonal immunity and can be caught just a few months later.
01:25:29.400One of the nurses said only 20 patients have been transferred to the ship.
01:25:33.320New York hospitals struggle or struggling to find space for thousands of infected with the coronavirus, but they're not sending any patients over to the USS Comfort.
01:25:44.280The Navy hospital ship, the Mercy in Los Angeles docked, only has 15 patients there.
01:25:51.240Michael Dowling, the head of Northwell Health, New York's largest hospital system, said, if I'm being blunt about it, this is a joke.
01:25:57.860Everyone can say thank you for putting up these wonderful places and opening these cavernous halls.
01:26:05.760The issue is red tape on top of the strict rules preventing people infected with the virus from coming on board.
01:26:12.000The Navy is also refusing to treat a host of other conditions.
01:26:16.140Guidelines disseminated to hospitals include a list of 49 medical conditions that would exclude a patient from admittance to the ship.
01:26:22.840And ambulances cannot take people directly to the comfort.
01:26:27.200They first have to deliver patients to a city hospital for a lengthy evaluation, including a test for the virus, and then pick them up again for transport to the ship.
01:26:36.640911 call centers are already massively swamped in New York.
01:26:41.600Ambulances are not available to take non-infected persons to each ship.
01:26:46.460Meanwhile, across New York, hospitals are overrun.
01:26:49.340Patients have died in hallways before they can even be hooked up to one of the available ventilators in New York.
01:26:56.780Doctors and nurses who have had to use the same protective gear again and again and again are now getting sick themselves.
01:27:19.340The University of Pittsburgh researchers have found COVID-19 a vaccine, they say.
01:27:24.600Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine believe they found a potential vaccine for the coronavirus.
01:27:30.760Researchers announced their findings yesterday believe the vaccine could be rolled out quickly enough to significantly impact the spread of disease.
01:27:38.780The vaccine would be delivered on a small fingertip-sized patch when tested on mice.
01:27:45.100The vaccine produced enough antibodies believed to successfully counteract the virus.
01:27:51.740They are able to act fast because they had already done research on similar coronavirus, SARS and MERS.
01:27:58.520Trump administration ordered the FBI to fast track the next phase of animal trials for the experimental vaccine.
01:28:05.340Officials warn that even if it's success, human trials and ultimate production could still be as far away as 12 to 18 months.
01:28:13.660It's early, but it's a very positive result.
01:28:17.840There's something going around the Internet now that I want to dispel quickly, and that is up in Vermont and Maryland, people are saying now that they are making seeds to grow food illegal in stores.
01:28:33.340Governor Phil Scott issued an executive order mandating that retailers, including Walmart, Target, Costco, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, cease in-person sales of non-essential items.
01:28:45.360This makes Vermont the second state in the U.S. to make gardening supplies non-essential.
01:30:01.860We're going to take a quick break, stations, and then we're going to come back, and we have the sheriff on with us from Oklahoma City, who was the sheriff that you saw, Larry Rhodes, in Joe the Tiger King, that docuseries.

01:31:51.740So Larry Rhodes is the former Garvin County, Oklahoma sheriff.
01:31:55.840He was the sheriff for over eight years, and many of those years he dealt with the now famous Joe Exotic, who we all now know from the Tiger King.
01:32:07.760He wrote into the show just, what, yesterday or the day before to set the record straight.
01:32:13.720I listen regularly on KTOK AM in Oklahoma City, and I have to reach out to you about Tuesday morning's comment that the Tigers were the only ones that made any sense on Netflix's Tiger King.
01:33:31.300I took office in late 2010, and that's where I first met, you know, met Joe.
01:33:37.920We would have to annually execute a contract, you know, to deal with a protocol if some of these large cats got out.
01:33:48.520So Joe and I early on communicated regularly, and things were pretty good at that point.
01:33:55.740But as the zoo grew and as Joe got more exotic, so to say, it really got out of hand.
01:34:05.060And, you know, I might add, you know, toward the end of my career there as Garvin County Sheriff, you know, he was accounting for most all of our calls for service in that immediate area of the county.
01:34:26.580I had deputies at that park almost on a weekly basis.
01:34:31.940If it wasn't an external call for service away from the park causing us to respond and to investigate at the park, it was something internally.
01:34:43.000And, you know, we had some pretty major cases as well at the park.
01:35:46.620You know, don't let any one of those big cats out.
01:35:49.260You know, we'll have a larger problem than, you know, what we were dealing with.
01:35:55.160And, but, you know, at the last minute that tornado, you know, took a turn to the, more to the east, to the east.
01:36:04.180And, but just little stories like that.
01:36:07.800But we, you know, we had people, there were people on each extreme of the animal rights and the exotic cat ownership debate.
01:36:21.560And, you know, my office was, go ahead.
01:36:25.860Yeah, I'm just wondering if there was anyone saying, I mean, it seems like every single person.
01:36:32.480There's that one guy who's from Oklahoma that kind of looks like an orangutan.
01:36:38.120A guy runs an exotic, he ran the exotic bird thing or whatever.
01:36:42.580He was the, the, uh, he was the guy who was the, the, tried to, he, he did the entrapment or not the entrapment, but he did the, the spying there for the FBI at the end.
01:36:55.240And, and, uh, uh, what's his point of my, uh, email to you was at least show somebody saying, and, and, and even the producer said, you know, we've got to have some, uh, sanity in this, uh, docu-series.
01:37:19.740And I never knew that until I became sheriff.
01:37:22.860I, uh, and some of it was that, that Joe would, you know, he would hire and pay just, you know, just pennies for people to work there.
01:37:33.740And many people volunteered because that, that was their passion.
01:37:37.440So as you can imagine, the people that were attracted to work or, or hang around the zoo, um, you know, they, they, they were people that, uh, you know, thought had extreme thoughts and, and maybe didn't have much else going for them.
01:37:55.140And, and, and, and therefore they're, they were at the zoo working or, or, you know, feeling like that was their place in the big cat world.
01:38:07.360What, what, what also led to this Glenn was I can remember times Joe would come to my jail and try to bond people out because he needed workers at the zoo.
01:38:19.060And, you know, he'd be, uh, he'd be back there looking at the jail list and, Hey, I could use this person or, or, or this, you know, transitory person.
01:38:28.840And he'd bring them out to the zoo and put them to work.
01:38:35.020So it seemed like there was a plethora of drugs, uh, there.
01:38:40.700Did you, did, were you having to fight a drug ring there?
01:38:45.800Or did you guys know that that was as prevalent or is it, or was it, it was prevalent.
01:38:52.800We, we knew it's prevalent, uh, um, you know, on the park and, and with some of the, um, um, workers that were around the park, uh, just as portrayed in, in the, in that docuseries, Tiger King, there were drugs around that park.
01:39:09.640Again, uh, uh, just what I spoke to, uh, some of the people that, uh, uh, were attracted to that park, um, you know, that was the lifestyle they led, uh, that was the environment they lived in.
01:39:21.580And, uh, I wouldn't characterize it as a drug ring.
01:39:24.700I mean, it wasn't, uh, Glenn, it wasn't, it wasn't selling it.
01:39:28.620But it wasn't any bigger of a problem.
01:39:32.160The drugs weren't in any other part in, in, in rural America right now with, with Matthews and addiction problems where we're, we're, we're having.
01:39:41.180So it was, uh, do you, do you think that Joe, you know, in his own way was a cult leader?
01:39:49.320Uh, I wouldn't characterize him as a, a cult leader.
01:39:54.180Uh, he certainly had a lot of influence over people, uh, uh, workers, uh, people who came to the park and would want to, uh, uh, donate and maybe sponsor the animals that he kept at the zoo.
01:40:07.720Uh, you know, he had a lot of influence over people in that sense, but, uh, as far as the cult, I'd, you know, I, we, most everyone at that park didn't stay there very long.
01:40:19.300There were a few exceptions and those are the ones that were shown on the show that, that stayed there year after year.
01:40:26.820But, but, you know, we would, uh, we would get a call for service, Glenn.
01:43:21.120The amount of disappointment and frustration I have for what Congress has done with this 2.2 trillion in legislation is almost too much to express.
01:43:29.720After all, I popularize the phrase big government sucks.
01:43:32.720I'm now forced to acknowledge I live in a world where my fellow citizens believe big government solves.
01:43:39.060I'm not saying that we shouldn't have done something given the magnitude of this crisis, but right now, I'm not sure how we return conservatives to our first principles of balanced budgets and limited government.
01:43:50.780Charlie Kirk, he is the founder and president of Turning Point USA, host of the Charlie Kirk show.
01:44:00.840And, uh, it seems that we've, we've kind of gone away from some of the principles of fiscal restraint and, you know, kind of constitutional governance that you talked about, you know, back when I first started listening to you, um, many years ago.
01:44:18.680So we are, we are sitting here, Charlie, everything that I, everything that I talked about and said, we need to prepare for, um, we are now in, and we have a bunch of people your age that think government solves, think that the government is, uh, the right tool to use.
01:44:37.400Uh, also, uh, have, have grown up with, you know, maybe, maybe your first memory being September 11th.
01:44:45.860Then you're in college or leaving college when, uh, when the 2008, uh, crash happens now this, which is much, much worse.
01:44:56.560I mean, you have people that will just think that this system just is broken and it doesn't work.
01:45:01.220Uh, and I think we're on the verge of a true transformation of America.
01:45:07.560If we don't stand guard right now, I completely agree that the threat of the status, uh, has, is only growing throughout this.
01:45:18.800And, uh, what, what disappointed me most about how Congress approached this, that piece of legislation is first of all, how quick it was.
01:45:28.880With Glenn, there was very little deliberation over the magnitude of the spending.
01:45:38.880So they even admitted they could have done things better.
01:45:41.700So why didn't they stick around for another week and maybe fix the awful, um, late night kind of sneak attacks that Schumer put in on the unemployment provisions,
01:45:52.940where Glenn, people will literally be making more money, not working on the unemployment rolls than working.
01:45:59.820Why, why would NPR and PBS get any extra cash?
01:46:03.960The Kennedy center, why would they get 25 million, $350 million for my resettlement?
01:46:10.340And you've listed it plenty of times, but what scares me even more though, is, is the, the fiscal recklessness of it,
01:46:20.080that Congress just voted 96 to nothing to say, sure, what, what, I guess it's a huge crisis.
01:46:27.300Therefore we have to basically leverage future liberties and freedoms.
01:46:33.380And again, I'm not suggesting nothing was the solution.
01:46:37.020And there are some very reasonable things in this bill, like the payroll protection program,
01:46:42.380which was actually less than 15% of the entire expenditure, mind you.
01:47:05.920So I, that I get, but the unemployment provision, the, what on earth, the, the UBI, I mean, the, the,
01:47:15.020the reverse redistributionism, um, and I, I said, this is a Trump supporter and I remain a fervent Trump supporter.
01:47:23.380And I understand politically he had no choice but to sign this bill.
01:47:27.000And I know he was frustrated with a lot within it, but my critique is on Congress with this because we control the upper chamber
01:47:35.860and we have some really good allies that have been fighting for these ideas for a while in Congress.
01:47:42.260And I was disappointed, Glenn, that we did not get our viewpoint of constitutional governance, liberty, private property.
01:47:51.380I felt that it was, um, it would just happen so quick and with very little pushback and deliberation at all.
01:47:59.480I think Thomas Massey is going to be vindicated at the end, um, in this, you know, Nancy Pelosi is saying that we don't want to bring people into Washington
01:48:10.200because it's so dangerous and we can't do electronic voice, you know, votes over, you know, over the phone or online.
01:48:19.240They don't want to have, they don't want to have any of these things done online because, uh, you don't know if anybody is listening on the other line.
01:48:28.480So there's no strong arming people in the hallway.
01:48:31.020There's no deal making in the hallway or in the back rooms.
01:48:34.400And they're just pushing these things through.
01:48:36.940And I think this is extraordinarily dangerous, extraordinarily dangerous.
01:48:45.760And Hey, Glenn, if people don't need to be in Congress to pass the $6 trillion bill, why do people need to show up at a voting booth in November?
01:48:52.980It makes the argument for mail in voting, which is what they're arguing for now.
01:48:57.080And, and so, so look, the, that, that bill is passed.
01:49:01.560It's, it's unfortunately that happened so quick.
01:49:04.820I'm, I don't want we as a conservative movement to just forget our, um, focus on balanced budgets, on the threat of inflation, on the danger of eroding our freedoms and liberties.
01:49:21.820There are now stories going, go ahead, sorry, go ahead.
01:49:25.300I was going to say, how, how have you talked to the president?
01:49:28.020Because his, he came out with a spend, a new spending package of another $2 trillion.
01:49:38.060And look, again, I say this as a very fervent Trump supporter, as someone who's wrote a book in defense of his presidency.
01:49:44.920And again, I put a lot of the burden of responsibility on Congress here for their inability to deliberate in the best interest of what they specifically ran on.
01:49:57.360Look, the president is up against an impossible position here.
01:50:00.880And in a lot of different ways, this was a sneak attack.
01:50:05.260And unfortunately, the way that we still haven't been able to get, I think, widely accepted data on exactly how much the population has been so infected and or the mortality rates, it's very difficult to make decisions on that.
01:50:23.280With that being said, I know the president as a businessman wants to get America back to work.
01:50:29.000And as far as, you know, and the idea of, you know, another bill coming forward, what I wrote in that piece was, hey, if we are going to do another infrastructure bill, another bill, a phase four bill, then why would we not challenge one of the most corrupt and one of the most corrosive institutions in America, which is the cartel of the colleges?
01:50:53.660And that was part of part of part of my part of the bill, which is go ahead.
01:50:58.260But I've only I've only got three minutes.
01:51:00.320Can you just go over what you're suggesting?
01:51:46.460Number one, if any college has not yet fully refunded the room and board and fees from this semester and they receive federal government money, they should be required to do so within 30 days.
01:52:06.260Number two, if you receive federal government money, which almost every institution in the country does absent Hillsdale and a few others, tuition freeze for two years.
01:52:15.400Tuition is breaking the backs of middle American families.
01:52:18.480And look, Glenn, I'm not one to try to go and tell private institutions how to run their business.
01:52:24.200These are federal government funded, federal government controlled, quasi socialist institutions that are breaking the backs of future generations financially and middle America.
01:52:33.500And the third thing is a student, a graduate student tax cut.
01:52:37.360Basically, if you have graduated college and you have student loans right now, the deductibility of student loans is minuscule at best.
01:52:44.300It's twenty five hundred dollars only on interest.
01:52:46.500I make the argument that you've got to lift the limit on that.
01:52:50.640It would be a tax cut for recent graduates feels that they've got no relief from Washington, D.C. at all.
01:52:56.460So I'm just trying to contribute to the conversation.
01:52:58.920We have a 30, 35 million pop person population in America, which is college graduates and current college students, recent college graduates and current college students that feel that no one in D.C. has been fighting for them.
01:53:13.020They see a lot of preferential treatment for huge companies.
01:53:16.260So I, as someone who represents the largest conservative organization, said, hey, here are three conservative ideas that we can get out there that will hopefully impact future generations for the better.
01:53:26.480The only the only thing I have a question on, Charlie, is I don't want our federal government paying for tuition for two years.
01:53:32.260That that money comes from the universities and their own their own coffers.
01:53:36.260So the tuition freeze would be mandated.
01:53:41.060We would essentially say if you're receiving FAFSA money or Department of Education funding at all, you are not allowed to raise tuition beyond the 2020 level.
01:53:50.520And any any overages or anything, you guys have to go into your endowment and you guys have to go pay for yourself.
01:53:55.300Basically, it would say if you're going to be using taxpayer money, you cannot continue to raise rates on the students, a.k.a. your customers.
01:54:05.080I have to tell you, I think they should be forced to bring them down.
01:54:08.280I mean, it is only the money from the federal government that has allowed them just to spend out of control and charge.
01:54:16.380I bleed numbers. I mean, it is it's it's remarkable when you look at the rate of inflation on on this and health care.
01:54:25.680And it's it's because the government is involved.
01:54:28.720If the government wasn't involved, we would not be having this issue.
01:54:32.220Charlie, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Best of luck to you.
01:54:36.660You can follow him at TPUSA dot com TPUSA or his Twitter handle is Charlie Kirk 11 or at TPUSA.
01:54:46.380TPUSA Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA.
01:54:53.360All right. Real estate agents, I trust.
01:54:56.800We've taken a pretty good beating as a country this past few weeks, and I'm sure like millions of other Americans, you're feeling the effects of it.
01:55:03.280And if you're one of those people who's trying to sell your house or buy one or both, I bet it seems a little scary right now.
01:55:10.100Here's the deal. As Americans, this kind of our thing, you know, this is what we do.
01:55:14.000This is what this way. We always surprise the rest of the world.
01:55:17.020We dust ourselves off and we get back up to work.
01:55:19.740We are the people that figured out how to bring people back from the moon and Apollo 13.
01:55:23.720Go back and watch that, because that's what we are right now.
01:55:26.820We are a team that has to look, OK, what tools do we have?
01:55:30.140We're going to put this thing back together and it'll be better than it was.
01:55:36.340Well, I started a company a few years ago as a free service to you because I have dealt with the hassles that attend the buying and selling of homes.
01:55:43.720And we I learned that there is secrets, you know, as I was doing business on some other projects with the 500 best real estate agents in the in America.
01:55:54.080And as I got to know them, I realized, wow, they all have certain things in common.
01:55:58.520So we started looking for those things and find what we believe are the best agents in your area.
01:56:05.560All you have to do is go to realestateagentsitrust.com, say you're buying or you're selling a home or you're both and where you're buying or where you're selling.
01:56:12.860And we'll send you the people that we feel are the best agents in your area.
01:56:16.620You do the interview and take it from yourself.
01:57:29.600My wife, special needs daughter, and another daughter have compromised immune systems.
01:57:33.920I work more hours than you can imagine.
01:57:35.560And we're possibly looking at losing everything we've worked so hard for for so long.
01:57:39.460I keep my chin up and I try to keep positive spin going for them.
01:57:43.580But inside, I'm lost, not knowing where to go from here.
01:57:46.220The government's so disconnected from our reality, our president, not perfect, but I feel he has more heart for the country than what he can express as trying to right the wrongs.
01:57:54.560But no matter what, you know the rest.
01:57:57.080I support what's right for the people and what keeps us safe.
01:57:59.700But I'm just running on empty anymore.
01:58:02.280And my love for my family, my country, my God is what keeps me alive most days.
01:58:07.020But it's getting harder and harder for chin up.
01:58:19.360My husband and I listen to your show every morning and I was so touched by this young man.
01:58:23.240I, at one point, was a single mom with the same feelings exactly of loving my country and family and just, you know, I had a handout every once in a while.
01:58:32.260And I would love to do something for this young family if there's a way that I can get in touch with them.
01:58:37.340And, you know, I just think that there's a lot of us out there who can be of service at one time or another.
01:58:42.620And I just felt compelled to give you a call and find out how I could help.
01:58:46.360So, I don't know, and I can't give you his email address, but I can reach out to him myself and give him your email address.
01:58:55.300And I'm not sure if he's willing to share it, but I hope, because it's the little things in life.
01:59:03.860It's the knowing that you're not alone is what's really important.
