The Glenn Beck Program - Who Can Americans Trust？｜ Guests： Bill O’Reilly & Charlie Kirk ｜ 4⧸3⧸20

00:00:00.000 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:02.840 I just have to start with this.

00:00:04.480 Have you seen that Dr. Oz now has told Cuomo to lift the ban on the anti-malaria drug?

00:00:11.360 Dr. Oz.

00:00:12.600 Okay, if he does it because Dr. Oz, they were just saying,

00:00:17.160 Donald Trump, he's not a doctor, he's just a TV star.

00:00:21.920 That's all he is, a TV star.

00:00:24.100 Dr. Oz, a TV star.

00:00:26.840 Really?

00:00:27.120 They are eating their words.

00:00:30.980 They're just eating their words all over the country.

00:00:34.520 We're going to talk a little bit about politics today.

00:00:37.080 We're going to talk a lot about COVID-19 and what is coming next.

00:00:40.840 And I want to stop, first stop in perhaps California,

00:00:46.300 where a disturbing video was going viral yesterday of what appeared to be,

00:00:52.880 well, she was an Asian woman. 1.00

00:00:54.040 I don't know if she's American or Chinese or whatever.

00:00:56.300 She was an Asian woman and she was touching everything in this Best Buy.

00:01:01.440 She touched every single computer, every phone, everything.

00:01:06.260 And a store worker was monitoring her and said,

00:01:10.000 do you have to touch everything?

00:01:11.440 You know there's coronavirus going on.

00:01:13.160 Why are you touching absolutely everything?

00:01:14.980 Do you have to touch everything?

00:01:16.600 She said yes.

00:01:18.580 And she was.

00:01:19.580 She was touching everything.

00:01:20.420 Now, what is this?

00:01:23.220 What is this?

00:01:24.960 Could be, and here's probably where we should jump first,

00:01:28.380 a mental health issue.

00:01:30.260 Mental health issues in the United States are off the charts right now.

00:01:36.060 And it's only going to get worse.

00:01:37.660 But also, I think we are headed towards a time when China is going to be named our number one enemy. 0.96

00:01:51.140 Donald Trump has been on this bandwagon for a while.

00:01:56.160 But I think, as you will see tonight in our Friday exclusive on Blaze TV,

00:02:01.500 there is a case to be made that China should be considered what's been happening,

00:02:10.280 possibly an act of war.

00:02:12.060 I know that's pretty shocking to say, but we'll start there in one minute.

00:02:17.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:21.280 Oh my gosh.

00:02:23.020 You know the difference between what we're living right now and Mad Max?

00:02:27.360 Omaha Steaks.

00:02:28.920 That's really the only difference.

00:02:31.500 At least that's the way I feel.

00:02:33.200 I feel the difference between Mad Max and I can still fire up the grill

00:02:37.460 and I can throw an Omaha Steak on where that was not happening in Mad Max.

00:02:43.000 There is a sense of danger in the air.

00:02:45.780 There is a sense of, holy cow, everything's changing.

00:02:51.600 You get to the grocery store and they've got pickled pig's feet.

00:02:55.420 You're like, oh, well, as long as we got pickled pig's feet, I could last forever.

00:03:01.700 Would you do yourself a favor and have your meat delivered safely to your house?

00:03:05.520 Omaha Steaks now has a limited time stock up sale available for you and your family

00:04:04.280 So, in San Joaquin County, the Public Health Services has now confirmed that their cases there in that county have exceeded 100.

00:04:28.000 And 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.

00:04:47.340 The county health officials have declined.

00:04:52.100 We're not sure why they are declining.

00:04:55.340 But is there something that we should be looking at in San Joaquin County in California?

00:05:03.240 They have repeatedly cited HIPAA.

00:05:10.240 But that's not something that I don't think other counties are doing.

00:05:18.140 We're not asking for the names and addresses of people, which we have to get into, Stu.

00:05:25.100 I don't know if you saw what happened with the New York Times, but they were monitoring people's movements in Seattle.

00:05:32.820 Did you see that story?

00:05:34.680 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:36.060 We did a guest on that last night.

00:05:37.920 I mean, it's a very strange thing.

00:05:41.520 And they're talking about now finding, like, gatherings.

00:05:45.940 Like, 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.

00:05:59.140 And the New York Times said, well, no, this was just all metadata.

00:06:02.260 We were not looking at anybody specifically.

00:06:04.340 And then in the article, and look at this person that lives here.

00:06:07.460 They went from three miles to 61 feet.

00:06:11.520 Wait, what?

00:06:14.220 I mean, we have to get into that as well.

00:06:17.160 The reason why I bring up San Juan Key Valley is there is a very important military base or depot, if you will.

00:06:29.160 In 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.

00:06:46.600 and the entire Pacific theater of operations.

00:06:49.960 Okay, this is our strategic platform, the West Coast hub of all of our military operations.

00:07:01.520 So if we ever go to war in the Pacific, this is the supply line.

00:07:06.940 Okay, and this is right down the street from this Walmart that you might have seen yesterday in a Twitter feed.

00:07:21.340 Now, I don't want to jump to any conclusions here.

00:07:25.880 I just think we should be opening our eyes to things.

00:07:30.320 And 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.

00:07:47.320 They obviously knew much more than they were telling the rest of the world.

00:07:51.600 So the rest of the world was just not prepared.

00:07:54.580 The CIA now is looking into the numbers in China.

00:07:58.040 We know they lied to us, and they lied horribly.

00:08:02.240 Today, I'm going to show you who's involved.

00:08:05.040 The WHO is absolutely involved in this.

00:08:08.580 We cannot trust the WHO.

00:08:11.460 And I will show you why tonight on our Friday exclusive on the Blaze TV.

00:08:16.180 Please join us if you're not a member.

00:08:18.700 I promise you we will make it so well worth more than $5 a month.

00:08:23.720 We need to stay in touch.

00:08:25.900 We don't know.

00:08:28.320 Let me be real honest with you.

00:08:29.600 Did you see that ABC Disney has just furloughed all of their, quote, non-essential employees?

00:08:36.980 They said people who are not essential at this time, they've closed the parks down.

00:08:42.760 I don't know when the parks are going to open again.

00:08:44.720 They say it's going to open in June, but I bet you it's 2021.

00:08:47.840 But ABC is furloughing people because they say the advertising dollars are drying up.

00:08:56.120 Advertising dollars are drying up, and that is going to hurt your local radio stations.

00:09:01.720 That's going to hurt all of these national shows.

00:09:04.320 That's how we make our money, and things are changing, and they're going to change quickly.

00:09:13.380 Just as quickly as they're changing in your life, they are changing in our life as well.

00:09:19.740 We have made our Blaze TV subscription the lowest we've ever made it.

00:09:25.880 I mean, we crunched the numbers.

00:09:27.100 This is as cheap as we can possibly make it.

00:09:30.560 It's about $5 and, I don't know, 60 or 80 cents a month.

00:09:36.020 That's a $30 discount, and we've cut it to the bone because we need to make sure that we are in touch in these times.

00:09:44.720 And if you buy the annual subscription now, and so it's like $70 or something,

00:09:50.200 if you can afford that $70 now, it's off your plate for a year, and you don't have to worry about it.

00:09:55.780 And so we will stay in touch.

00:09:58.220 Go to blazetv.com slash Glenn.

00:10:00.460 Use the promo code Glenn.

00:10:02.080 Now, tonight on our Friday exclusive that's only for subscribers,

00:10:07.040 we are showing you a bit of an investigation that we're working on now for probably a couple weeks down the road

00:10:13.500 on what China is doing and what they have done.

00:10:17.940 And something really bothered us with the WHO.

00:10:20.920 Why are they constantly standing up for China? 0.74

00:10:24.280 Why are they constantly taking China's side in this and saying, no, no, no, China is great.

00:10:30.080 Do we have the audio we played yesterday?

00:10:31.980 This is the WHO, one of the head guys here in America, and he's doing an Asian broadcast,

00:10:39.660 and he's talking to this woman who wants to know about what's happening in China

00:10:45.900 and what's happening in Taiwan, and listen to what happened during this broadcast.

00:10:51.620 Would the WHO consider Taiwan's membership?

00:10:55.280 Now, he just stares into the camera like he just can't hear it, says nothing.

00:11:06.020 I couldn't hear your question.

00:11:08.720 Okay, yeah, let me repeat the question.

00:11:10.840 No, that's okay.

00:11:11.480 Let's move to another one then.

00:11:13.220 Right.

00:11:13.660 Because I'm actually curious on talking about Taiwan as well.

00:11:16.980 Now, he looks down, and he pushes a button, and he stops the Skype.

00:11:24.580 Unreal.

00:11:25.280 And she just looks like, what is happening?

00:11:26.380 We decided to give Dr. Alward another call to follow up.

00:11:30.300 And I just want to see if you can comment a bit on how Taiwan has done so far in terms of

00:11:35.240 containing the virus.

00:11:36.280 Now listen to his answer.

00:11:37.240 Taiwan.

00:11:38.000 Well, we've already talked about China.

00:11:41.200 China is not Taiwan.

00:11:44.060 It's not Taiwan.

00:11:45.160 She presses him again.

00:11:47.040 He deletes the interview again.

00:11:49.000 He stops the interview.

00:11:50.140 So we have been wondering for a couple of weeks what's going on.

00:11:54.080 Well, we figured this out a couple of days ago, and we're working on this story.

00:12:00.860 And that's when this interview happened.

00:12:02.880 We'll explain it tonight.

00:12:04.440 You cannot trust the WHO.

00:12:06.960 They are not.

00:12:08.200 They are in the pocket.

00:12:09.820 And we will show you how and why they're in the pocket.

00:12:13.800 And you have to start looking at things differently.

00:12:18.020 China is not telling the truth. 0.96

00:12:23.860 And they have their hands around the throat of so many organizations and countries right now.

00:12:32.640 And they are just going to try to squeeze.

00:12:35.120 And I have a feeling that we are going to start to move towards initial kind of war footing.

00:12:41.840 You know, if you really want to change the world, I've told you this before.

00:12:46.620 I 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.

00:12:59.640 Right now, we are locked down and the enemy is this invisible enemy.

00:13:05.700 If 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.

00:13:19.700 And I think China may be that that actual enemy.

00:13:24.840 So let me go back to that woman in that store in California. 0.99

00:13:29.660 She's in this store.

00:13:31.120 If you haven't seen the video and she is touching absolutely everything.

00:13:35.920 She's in the computer section and she is I mean, she's touching every screen, every keyboard, everything that is touchable.

00:13:43.740 She is touching and she isn't intentionally doing it.

00:13:48.100 I mean, Stu, is there any other any other explanation of what you're seeing, except she wants to touch?

00:13:55.560 She's touching everything.

00:13:56.720 Have you seen this yet, Stu?

00:13:58.400 I haven't seen it.

00:13:59.220 I'm watching it now.

00:14:00.200 But it does just appear like.

00:14:01.980 We got to touch them all.

00:14:05.080 All of them got to be touched.

00:14:05.920 This is a Walmart employee.

00:14:08.380 Ma'am, they all have to be touched.

00:14:11.480 You sure?

00:14:13.140 Oh, why are you touching all of them?

00:14:16.980 You know, the coronavirus is going on right now.

00:14:20.240 You sure?

00:14:22.040 Yeah, but she's just going down the line. 1.00

00:14:23.920 She's touching everything.

00:14:25.180 Then she goes.

00:14:25.760 She's on the computer.

00:14:26.500 She does both sides of the rack, touches absolutely everything.

00:14:29.500 Then she goes to the other side and she starts touching all of the phones.

00:14:34.580 Yeah.

00:14:35.140 And to be clear, like touching almost doesn't describe what she's doing.

00:14:39.020 It's not like, you know, she's going and testing them.

00:14:41.600 She's legitimately she's touching each one the exact same way.

00:14:44.400 She's sliding her hands across the back.

00:14:46.700 She's putting her hands on the keyboard for each one.

00:14:48.960 She's moving it all the same way.

00:14:50.420 It 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.

00:15:00.500 OK, now, this woman may be an American. 0.62

00:15:02.580 Let's not make the mistake that we made in World War Two under the progressive guidance of the racist FDR.

00:15:11.720 So this woman may be an American and she may be she may be insane. 1.00

00:15:18.700 We don't know.

00:15:20.220 Mental illness is off the charts.

00:15:21.840 And there are people that like to do these things.

00:15:23.920 There are people that, you know, are white people that go into stores and lick ice cream. 0.99

00:15:27.720 So I don't know what this is, but it is concerning to me, especially because it is right there where our weapons depot is.

00:15:41.440 There are also a number of Chinese that are coming across the border.

00:15:45.460 Now, this I believe we did a story on this what about a year ago, I think.

00:15:53.480 And we looked at the China, the number of Chinese that are coming across our southern border.

00:15:58.920 It's off the charts.

00:16:01.920 Now, that could be a if you want to go down a conspiracy lane, that could be, you know, China shipping their people over.

00:16:10.120 I don't think that's what it is.

00:16:11.820 If I remember right, we're looking into our archives today.

00:16:15.580 This is the Chinese mafia doing this. 0.97

00:16:19.100 They are shipping in people to Mexico and then getting them to cross our borders. 0.91

00:16:23.820 The 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.

00:16:42.300 We know we can't trust them.

00:16:45.100 You must have a source that you trust.

00:16:48.560 You 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.

00:16:59.920 I know it sounds like I'm trying to describe myself, but if you don't find me to be that person, that is fine.

00:17:06.840 Find someone, find someone and then find another source as well.

00:17:13.380 But you really need to look out because there's going to be all kinds of we're coming up to a presidential election.

00:17:21.080 And 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.

00:17:31.620 We have to be very, very careful right now.

00:17:35.860 Now is the time that I've warned you about.

00:17:39.300 This is it.

00:17:40.760 Please, please, please be the stable rock in your world and in your family.

00:17:50.620 It's never been more important than it is right now.

00:17:58.980 More in a second.

00:17:59.900 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:18:02.120 You know, the one thing you can't do is stand up for your country and fight for your country.

00:18:06.600 If you're in pain all the time, you need to be clear headed.

00:18:09.420 You need to not be on medication opioids right now.

00:18:14.140 Boy, if you are if you're on opioids and you can find a way to get off of those.

00:18:20.280 And I know how hard that is.

00:18:23.340 We should talk about that.

00:18:24.280 Would you write that down, Stu?

00:18:25.320 Let's talk about the opioid thing next week.

00:18:28.560 I know how hard that is.

00:18:30.640 Please try to get off of them right now.

00:18:34.500 We need you clear minded.

00:18:36.420 And if it's pain, would you please just try relief factor?

00:18:40.720 Maybe it won't work for you, but it works for 70 percent of the people who take it.

00:18:45.340 It worked for me.

00:18:46.420 It's really important that you are out of pain.

00:18:50.880 You're as healthy as you possibly can be and that you're clear headed.

00:18:55.520 Relief factor dot com.

00:18:56.680 Please try it.

00:18:57.480 Eight hundred five hundred eighty three eighty four.

00:18:59.860 Eight hundred five hundred eighty three eighty four.

00:19:02.100 It's relief factor dot com.

00:19:04.940 Ten seconds.

00:19:05.480 Station I.D.

00:19:05.960 So, Stu, you know, what's really freaking me out a bit is, you know, we had a different way to to position.

00:19:28.560 We thought of positioning this book as it was coming out.

00:19:31.900 And and we thought it's because, you know, socialism is going to be the big thing in the presidential election.

00:19:38.860 Well, nobody's talking about the presidential election and everybody was talking about coronavirus.

00:19:44.000 And now when you see what's going on, dear Lord, this the stuff that is in this book is even more important than it was.

00:19:52.860 We have arguing with socialists coming out next week and some of the stuff that's being bandied about, for instance,

00:19:59.440 national health care is in this book, all of the facts about Sweden and Denmark and Finland and all of these great socialist utopias.

00:20:08.520 First, the truth, they are not socialist countries.

00:20:11.960 They're not.

00:20:12.640 They are failed socialist countries that back in the 70s and 80s started getting away from that.

00:20:19.480 They're almost all much more free economically and with business than we are.

00:20:27.500 But you're seeing now some of these socialist countries, they're collapsing.

00:20:33.320 The socialist health care is collapsing, but you're going to see cries.

00:20:37.640 I'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.

00:20:47.980 And by summer, we're going to be having these debates.

00:20:52.140 All of that is in there.

00:20:53.800 All of the things about how we are printing our own money.

00:20:57.580 I mean, we almost didn't put this chapter in because we thought, no, that's so crazy.

00:21:01.480 It's coming, but not soon.

00:21:04.440 The modern monetary theory.

00:21:06.560 It's the last chapter in the book and it's already happening.

00:21:10.420 We have to be well informed and pass this to your kids arguing with socialists.

00:21:15.620 Get it now is the Glenn Beck program.

00:21:19.140 All right.

00:21:20.080 Leslie lives in Washington state.

00:21:21.800 She has two dogs, Shiloh, a Mastiff.

00:21:24.700 Holy cow. 0.89

00:21:25.680 And Liam, a Greyhound.

00:21:27.100 They're both about seven years old.

00:21:28.820 They're getting on in age.

00:21:30.320 And when they started being less active, Leslie began worrying about him.

00:21:34.280 Plus, Shiloh can be pretty picky about what he would what he would eat.

00:21:37.860 And this is starting to be a problem because, you know, his health on top of the age, yada, yada.

00:21:44.500 Well, Leslie just started putting rough greens onto the food of the dogs to see if it might help. 0.92

00:21:49.500 She 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.

00:21:57.980 They got more active.

00:21:59.120 And as a result, they've started being healthier and happier.

00:22:02.880 I've seen this in my own home with my own dog.

00:22:05.520 You know, if rough greens is not a dog food, it's a supplement and it has everything in it that they need.

00:22:12.260 That's all cooked out of regular dog food.

00:22:16.020 Rough greens.

00:22:17.040 Try it for 14 days.

00:22:47.060 Oh, what's up, Holmes?

00:22:51.960 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:53.300 Glad you're here.

00:22:54.080 It is Friday.

00:22:55.500 I want to go through the email bag and just kind of give you a snapshot of what I'm reading from fellow listeners just like you.

00:23:03.000 Glenn, I'm a truck driver.

00:23:04.340 I feel like I'm on the front lines of this thing.

00:23:06.360 I work for a manufacturer of salad dressing and I haul this stuff to Colorado each week.

00:23:10.700 We haven't stopped.

00:23:11.960 In fact, we've ramped up production.

00:23:14.620 Really?

00:23:15.060 I mean, salad dressing has really gone through.

00:23:17.860 Well, anyway, I didn't hear your point about sacrificing yourself for the country in the economy on last Tuesday's show.

00:23:24.340 But I did hear Stu talking about how you were trending and not such a good way.

00:23:29.340 You 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.

00:23:38.440 And if they die, let them die.

00:23:40.580 It's not what I said at all.

00:23:42.520 Not at all.

00:23:43.000 Not at all, as we showed in multiple different ways with tons of evidence.

00:23:47.100 It's not at all what you said.

00:23:48.480 And they know that's not what you said.

00:23:49.800 But, you know, again, it's easy.

00:23:51.320 I guess it's easy material.

00:23:52.600 And how do you disagree with saying, look, for my children, I will self-sacrifice.

00:24:00.320 If it means that we don't have an economy at the end of this, then fine.

00:24:06.120 Don't treat me if I get sick.

00:24:08.300 But I'll go out and keep the basic engine running.

00:24:12.200 And I'm not saying that the basic engine is, you know, a donut shop or even my shop.

00:24:17.120 I will do what I have to do.

00:24:19.080 So my kids have a future.

00:24:21.500 How can you possibly disagree with that?

00:24:24.520 Anyway, he says, I'll continue to work and haul goods, whatever they are throughout the country, no matter how bad this thing gets.

00:24:31.860 I'll even work and not go home.

00:24:33.480 So my family wouldn't get it.

00:24:36.080 My point is, like you, I believe we cannot lose our country and stopping the economy will do that.

00:24:42.260 Boy, we are so damn close to that.

00:24:45.700 I will.

00:24:45.960 This is, by the way, this is why you're hearing talk about, you know, make your own masks.

00:24:51.520 They are they've gone from.

00:24:54.100 No, you can't even have the N95 mask.

00:24:56.240 That doesn't even work.

00:24:57.260 I mean, you don't even know how to put it on right to.

00:24:59.720 I don't know.

00:25:00.120 Take a kitchen towel and wrap it around your face.

00:25:02.260 That might work.

00:25:03.480 Why are they doing that?

00:25:05.480 Because we are going back out into the workforce.

00:25:09.140 They can't they can't shut this down for very much longer.

00:25:13.280 I mean, I I think maybe two weeks, three weeks.

00:25:17.440 But after that, we have got to open this thing back up.

00:25:21.320 He says, sorry if I sound rambling, but I am really passionate about this.

00:25:25.260 I thank you so much for your email.

00:25:26.820 Glenn, my name is Mark.

00:25:27.920 My family and I are small business owners in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

00:25:30.660 We've been under a statewide shutdown and I still work full time job that considers me a critical, essential employee.

00:25:36.980 So I'm out in the mix.

00:25:38.560 As they say, my wife, special needs daughter and another daughter have a compromised immune system.

00:25:44.360 I work more hours than you can imagine.

00:25:46.520 And we are looking at the possibility of losing everything we have worked so hard for for so long.

00:25:51.680 I keep my chin up and I try to keep positive spin going for them.

00:25:57.140 But inside, I am so lost, not knowing where to go from here.

00:26:01.940 Please, Mark, don't give up.

00:26:05.980 Don't give up.

00:26:06.900 A path will open up.

00:26:09.000 I promise you, a path will open up.

00:26:12.320 Not knowing where to go from here.

00:26:13.740 This government is so disconnected from our reality.

00:26:16.560 Our 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.

00:26:24.500 No matter what.

00:26:25.900 Well, you know the rest.

00:26:26.920 I support what's right for the people and what keeps us safe.

00:26:30.560 And there's just so much wrong that is out of control.

00:26:33.260 I'm running on empty anymore for my love, for my family, my country, my God.

00:26:38.000 It's all that keeps me alive most days.

00:26:40.600 But it's getting harder and harder for the chin up.

00:26:43.800 The next chapter is hard to see.

00:26:47.400 Mark.

00:26:49.180 That is what I'm trying to work on.

00:26:52.580 Next chapter and to make sure that you hear the next chapter.

00:26:56.180 Our next chapter is going to be up to us on how we react right now.

00:27:02.580 If we give up right now our chapter for our children, there won't be a next chapter.

00:27:10.580 We will close the book on America and they will have to start from scratch.

00:27:16.580 The 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?

00:27:25.860 He said, look, do you know, do you know what it will cost if we just decimate this economy?

00:27:34.580 If we just have and let it run and everything is overwhelmed and we don't act in time, everything will be lost.

00:27:45.260 What 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.

00:27:57.940 This is the hope I, I, it's never been attempted before, but you know what?

00:28:05.360 Neither had going to the moon.

00:28:08.700 Putting a man on the moon was insane, but we found a way to do it.

00:28:14.020 And if it's like Apollo 13 and less like Apollo 11, which I suspect it's going to be, Americans will find a way.

00:28:22.520 We'll find the duct tape and we will repair it with parts that don't work.

00:28:28.080 But that's what we do.

00:28:32.880 Let me see.

00:28:34.140 Beverly writes in Glenn.

00:28:35.440 I just finished the seven wonders that will change your life.

00:28:38.200 And I am truly amazed at the depth and spiritual messages that are within this book.

00:28:42.280 I have followed you for years through your political life on Fox, but I had no idea of your, can I say, inner being.

00:28:50.240 I read almost all of it in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down.

00:28:55.080 This is something that I put out, what, 2010, Stu, 2009?

00:28:59.380 Yeah, that's a good, this is going back in the catalog a little bit for the seven, the seven wonders.

00:29:03.840 Seven wonders is a really, really good book.

00:29:08.620 It's how I changed my life.

00:29:10.260 And I wrote it with Dr. Keith Ablow.

00:29:13.640 And I wrote one chapter on why, what I did.

00:29:18.820 And then he wrote the rest of the chapter saying, this is psychologically, this is why this works.

00:29:26.500 And if you are struggling in your life, please go online and get the seven wonders that will change your life.

00:29:33.340 It is a really, really powerful book.

00:29:38.440 I read it all because I just couldn't put it down.

00:29:40.900 I'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.

00:29:54.220 Good job.

00:29:54.860 Thanks.

00:29:55.200 Sorry, it took me so long to find it.

00:29:58.280 David wrote in, Glenn, I purchased some gold last week.

00:30:02.080 Not much, just a little bit of gold.

00:30:04.460 But 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.

00:30:10.940 I couldn't have been treated better.

00:30:12.220 Hey, Glenn, I listen regularly on KTOK in Oklahoma City.

00:30:18.300 I 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.

00:30:27.800 Give me some credit.

00:30:29.060 I did my best to tell producers of the show what a constant problem the animal park was to our rural sheriff's office.

00:30:36.800 I'm the county sheriff shown in the Joe Exotic docuseries.

00:30:40.060 Not much made sense with any part of that zoo.

00:30:44.880 Approaching one year, retired as the sheriff.

00:30:46.740 I don't miss any part of that place.

00:30:49.100 I enjoy your show.

00:30:49.800 Keep up the good work.

00:30:50.640 We got to get this is Larry Rhodes.

00:30:52.180 We got to get him on.

00:30:53.500 Oh, that's great.

00:30:54.120 Because he did make sense.

00:30:55.260 I just I meant all of the main characters.

00:30:58.280 Every time they go to the sheriff, he'd be like, yeah, I know.

00:31:00.500 It's nuts.

00:31:02.940 We all just thought this was crazy.

00:31:05.260 I mean, yeah, you you were like me, Larry.

00:31:08.120 You all the rest of America sitting on the couch.

00:31:10.760 We're all looking at you going.

00:31:11.900 Yep.

00:31:12.320 Yep.

00:31:12.920 Yep.

00:31:14.780 Glenn, longtime listener.

00:31:16.260 First time reaching out.

00:31:17.800 Been a conservative in a very liberal area.

00:31:20.840 Being a conservative, a very liberal area is very hard.

00:31:23.540 I'm a 25 year old pharmacy tech living in Plattsburgh, New York, hoping to be a New York state police officer soon.

00:31:31.280 Obviously, the situation has delayed everything in college.

00:31:33.640 I was ridiculed many times from my point of view.

00:31:37.020 Plattsburgh State University way up in upstate New York.

00:31:39.700 All the bumper stickers will say Bernie Sanders, Mike Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren.

00:31:43.540 As I say when I drive in, welcome to the USSR. 1.00

00:31:47.240 It is crazy in New York.

00:31:49.560 I want to thank you for being positive during this insane time.

00:31:52.320 You've helped me a lot because I work at a pharmacy in New York and it's been hard in there some days.

00:31:57.980 My co-workers believe everything the mainstream media tells them.

00:32:01.640 And as you and Stu point out, it's super depressing.

00:32:04.360 But you guys help me get through it.

00:32:06.140 My boss turned to us yesterday and said Cuomo should be president for the work he's done.

00:32:10.500 I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

00:32:12.440 I had to run to the I know it's killing.

00:32:16.180 I mean, you know, the one you could be impressed with is Gavin Newsom.

00:32:19.920 Yeah.

00:32:20.140 I mean, Gavin Newsom has done a pretty good job.

00:32:22.160 He's had some problematic comments as well, where he said, this is a good, good opportunity for us to push our progressive agenda.

00:32:29.280 But yeah, no, no, no.

00:32:31.920 Yeah, right.

00:32:32.880 I'm not saying that he's a saint and I'm not saying that you trust him.

00:32:36.420 I'm just saying you could look at him and say he's done a good job with the state so far.

00:32:41.360 I wouldn't say Cuomo.

00:32:42.420 Well, 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.

00:32:49.480 It has not been as bad, nearly as bad as New York.

00:32:52.960 You know, he has been complimentary to the president over and over again, saying how he's been able to get resources there quickly.

00:33:00.920 You know, look, Gavin Newsom is Gavin Newsom.

00:33:03.460 But in comparison, if you're picking Andrew Cuomo or Gavin Newsom based on performance in this thing, I mean, Newsom is completely outperforming him.

00:33:11.160 I just feel like the people in the media all live in New York City.

00:33:14.060 And he's the one person who looks mildly competent around there, even though he's not.

00:33:18.620 And they're they're they're all terrified for their lives.

00:33:21.180 And so they're watching him on TV every day.

00:33:23.180 But I mean, Newsom's clearly, I think, done a better job so far.

00:33:26.960 Yeah, I think so, too.

00:33:27.940 And it looks like California.

00:33:29.660 I mean, they haven't hit their peak yet, but it looks like California is doing the numbers are starting to plateau, aren't they?

00:33:37.280 Yeah, it's not like they did not have as big a breakout as you would have expected.

00:33:41.520 You know, there's some some belief that maybe the strain that hit the West Coast was a little more mild and that mild part of it.

00:33:49.580 But I mean, still, it does seem like they were they were earlier to close things.

00:33:54.300 They were a little bit more aggressive in trying to control it.

00:33:58.620 The same thing you could say about Washington, by the way, with Inslee.

00:34:03.360 It looked like that was going to get really, really bad.

00:34:05.620 And, you know, people love Jay Inslee back in the day when he was talking about global warming every single day.

00:34:10.600 But, you know, again, he's not I don't think any of these people should be president or get any buzz for president.

00:34:16.740 And Joe Biden has this thing wrapped up unless he decides to walk out.

00:34:19.600 That being said, why Cuomo is getting it over these other governors makes absolutely no sense.

00:34:25.280 No, it does.

00:34:26.020 It makes the sense.

00:34:27.020 You just kind of danced around it a minute ago.

00:34:29.340 Yeah, it's New York.

00:34:30.480 And to put it plainly, what you just said was the press only pays attention to things that they that affect them.

00:34:40.680 So Gavin Newsom is on the other side of the country and he's just I don't know what's really happening there.

00:34:45.580 Oh, my gosh.

00:34:46.080 Have you seen what's happened on 33rd Street?

00:34:48.380 I mean, they're just they're so focused on themselves and their arrogance.

00:34:54.220 That'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.

00:35:04.580 I'm going to send you a copy of my new book.

00:35:06.700 He ends his email with thanks for helping this young conservative live through tough times.

00:35:10.820 Hope to meet you and Stu one day.

00:35:12.620 Never been to Texas before.

00:35:14.400 Well, you may never be because you're in New York.

00:35:16.520 We may quarantine you forever. 0.99

00:35:17.660 But the I'm going to send you a copy of my new book, Arguing with Socialists, because you need it.

00:35:24.300 If you're living in New York and you're 25, you're going to love this book.

00:35:27.300 It's really, really funny, full of stats.

00:35:29.960 Do not ever quote me.

00:35:31.760 That's why we put about 100 pages of really fine print footnotes in the back.

00:35:36.800 So any fact that you find it's not coming from me.

00:35:40.280 Make sure you quote the New York Times or whoever else.

00:35:43.420 We looked for all of the best sources that that lefties would find it hard to argue with.

00:35:49.360 So all of the facts are footnoted there in the book.

00:35:52.000 By the way, you can get that book.

00:35:53.260 It's available.

00:35:54.380 Well, you can have it this weekend, probably if you order it now.

00:35:58.820 I don't know if it's going to be in bookstores or crates of them now in bookstores that are closed.

00:36:03.700 But you can order yours at Amazon right now, Arguing with Socialists.

00:36:07.620 I would love to see this number one on the New York Times.

00:36:10.200 I don't even know if that's even possible anymore with the New York Times.

00:36:15.020 But boy, would it send a message that arguing with socialists is number one on the New York Times.

00:36:20.920 Please order your copy now at Amazon.com or wherever you buy books.

00:36:26.840 All right.

00:36:29.720 Oh.

00:36:30.360 At 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.

00:36:49.600 He 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.

00:37:04.160 He hollers over his shoulders up the stairway for mom.

00:37:08.300 It's not going to make itself!

00:38:01.700 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:38:14.680 We're keeping our eye on a few things for you.

00:38:18.120 One is food shortages.

00:38:21.080 I 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.

00:38:33.800 Hopefully it won't be so bad here in America, but I urge you to pay attention to it.

00:38:37.940 Farmer and milk producers now are dumping thousands of gallons of milk that's just crossed my desk.

00:38:42.820 As 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.

00:38:53.700 Milk 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.

00:39:03.520 So they've been asked to dump two days worth of milk in some regions as they struggle to get the key ingredients for pasteurization.

00:39:11.380 Wisconsin dairy farmers are citing store closings and lower restaurant demands as milk or cream is a key ingredient in restaurant recipes.

00:39:19.920 And the demand has dropped to zero in some areas.

00:39:23.740 This is going to hurt the dairy farmers of America who are already really close to collapse as it is before this thing hit.

00:39:35.500 Bill O'Reilly is coming up next.

00:39:38.060 And I really want to talk to him about that letter that Donald Trump sent to Chuck Schubert yesterday.

00:39:43.740 It was delicious.

00:39:45.940 We'll talk to Bill O'Reilly and get his recap of the week.

00:39:49.920 In one minute.

00:39:51.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:59.920 There in the vast wasteland of New York.

00:40:04.340 Way out about 20 miles so far that no one could ever find it.

00:40:09.800 Millions of people locked in their towers.

00:40:14.460 Food shortages.

00:40:16.340 Dogs and cats sleeping together.

00:40:18.240 And there in his bunker, Bill O'Reilly waiting for the hordes to start coming toward him.

00:40:26.220 It's practically Mad Max starring Bill O'Reilly.

00:40:30.360 Hello, America.

00:40:31.360 It's Friday and Bill is up next.

00:40:34.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:36.760 Oh, gosh, I can't wait to talk to him.

00:40:43.740 All right.

00:40:44.060 Let me tell you about Mike Lindell.

00:40:45.940 Mike Lindell is going to be on tomorrow's podcast.

00:40:50.160 If you are a subscriber to the Blaze, it broke last night.

00:40:52.800 You can watch that episode right now.

00:40:55.320 But if you're not a Blaze subscriber, you'll get it tomorrow.

00:40:58.080 Wherever you get your podcast.

00:40:59.400 It is a don't miss.

00:41:01.060 Mike Lindell is a he is a crazy ass dude.

00:41:06.960 He is he is full fledged nuts.

00:41:10.900 But I think in a good way, he is a guy who his life was completely out of control.

00:41:17.320 You wait until you hear him tell the story.

00:41:19.740 He had meth and crack dealers sit him down.

00:41:24.920 Three crack dealers sit him down and go, Mike, you're out of control.

00:41:28.280 We won't sell any more to you.

00:41:30.980 What?

00:41:31.500 What?

00:41:33.560 And it's because he had he got to know them, obviously.

00:41:39.600 And he was like, I've you know, I've got a mission in life.

00:41:42.540 I know I have a mission in life.

00:41:44.200 And he was providing hope for other meth addicts and crack addicts that there that there would be a better tomorrow.

00:41:52.780 And they didn't want him to die.

00:41:54.820 It is the craziest story.

00:41:56.800 And now he's turned his life around.

00:41:58.760 He's using my pillow as a platform to do incredible things.

00:42:03.960 He was with the president this week and he got hammered because he talked about Jesus.

00:42:09.320 But he is unafraid.

00:42:11.340 It is a great interview.

00:42:13.020 Make sure you hear it.

00:42:14.640 It'll be on the podcast tomorrow or Blaze TV now.

00:42:17.980 But he's the guy who runs my pillow.

00:42:20.320 And I don't know how this is doing for his business.

00:42:22.900 But he shut down one of his factories here in America.

00:42:27.420 And they've retooled and they are pumping out 50,000 masks every single day for the hospitals.

00:42:34.500 He's doing his part.

00:42:36.020 And, you know, him getting on television and saying in front of the president, you know, we need to read our scriptures.

00:42:41.740 We need to turn back to God.

00:42:43.360 It did not make him popular.

00:42:45.280 But he's used to that.

00:42:47.700 May I suggest that you go to my pillow dot com if you need a new pillow or you need new sheets.

00:42:54.420 This is not a pillow I thought I would like.

00:42:56.360 It really isn't.

00:42:58.080 I sleep with it every night.

00:42:59.660 I love it.

00:43:00.660 And I really would never have purchased one.

00:43:03.400 Never.

00:43:03.860 He sent me one and he sent me the wrong one and I didn't like it.

00:43:07.460 And he knew immediately.

00:43:08.500 He's like, you don't like the pillow.

00:43:09.800 And I'm like, yeah, I don't.

00:43:11.480 And he's like, you got the wrong one.

00:43:12.440 Let me send you another one.

00:43:13.220 See if you like this one.

00:43:13.940 He sent me the right one and I sleep with it every night.

00:43:17.180 I would have never purchased this thing.

00:43:19.660 I love it.

00:43:20.700 His sheets are great.

00:43:48.560 Mad Max, a.k.a. Bill O'Reilly.

00:43:52.840 How you doing, Bill?

00:43:54.600 Good.

00:43:55.100 How are you guys feeling?

00:43:56.080 Feeling strong?

00:43:58.060 Yeah, I'm feeling strong.

00:43:58.960 Feeling good.

00:43:59.520 Feeling good.

00:44:00.100 After that good night's sleep with the dopey pillow, you're all right?

00:44:03.880 Yeah, yeah, with the dopey pillow, yeah.

00:44:09.580 You know, I don't know why my, I don't know why some of my favorite people, and I know

00:44:13.660 you hated him, but are like Don Imus and Bill O'Reilly.

00:44:18.400 Both just cantankerous, just, just, everybody else, they don't get you.

00:44:25.280 I mean, I miss his category.

00:44:26.640 I'm so much better looking than he is.

00:44:28.620 I mean, come on.

00:44:29.900 Well, especially now.

00:44:31.580 I don't know if you've seen him.

00:44:32.440 He's gone downhill.

00:44:33.140 But anyway, Bill, tell me what your thoughts are on, first of all, how New York is handling

00:44:39.280 this.

00:44:39.960 What's it like to be in New York?

00:44:41.600 What's really going on there?

00:44:42.980 Well, on Long Island, a suburb east of New York, there really isn't anything to report.

00:44:51.020 People are behaving.

00:44:53.180 They're staying inside.

00:44:54.580 Not a lot of traffic.

00:44:56.540 The food places are open.

00:44:58.920 The service is good.

00:45:00.040 There's plenty of food.

00:45:01.520 Actually, more food than there would ordinarily be, because people aren't staying in, and

00:45:06.500 they're barbecuing and making tuna sandwiches or whatever they do.

00:45:10.180 As far as the city is concerned, I haven't been in there in about a month.

00:45:15.840 I do talk to friends in there every day.

00:45:18.840 There is a little menace on the street as the crazy people who you can't control, they

00:45:26.720 go out, and there's not a lot of supervision of them.

00:45:32.580 I think that's a story the local media is not reporting, because the local media is not

00:45:36.680 out on the street.

00:45:38.220 The local media has kind of disappeared.

00:45:41.000 So you've got to be careful in New York.

00:45:43.620 There are people wandering around who are not good.

00:45:47.100 They will hurt you.

00:45:48.000 And you're not saying that this is necessarily just criminals, but there are also, there's

00:45:53.300 a real mental illness.

00:45:55.020 Yeah, mentally unbalanced people.

00:45:55.840 Right.

00:45:56.060 So the NYPD is, as in my lifetime, always been heroic.

00:46:04.720 They have a lot of cases in there, but they still go to the precinct houses, and they're

00:46:08.900 in the cars, and they're supervising what happens as best they can.

00:46:13.440 The EMS people, that is the untold story.

00:46:16.040 They're working around the clock, taking people to the hospitals, and without a break, double

00:46:21.860 shifts.

00:46:23.300 Yeah, they're all geared up, but still, you know, this is one of the most contagious

00:46:28.000 diseases the planet has ever seen.

00:46:30.060 And that's the real crux of this matter, how contagious it is, not how lethal.

00:46:36.220 Three percent are going to die, people who acquire it, but it's so contagious and so

00:46:43.480 undefined.

00:46:44.720 And is the mask going to help us?

00:46:46.620 Can I, can I, my son was telling me, well, you can't touch cardboard.

00:46:51.140 I said, well, if that's true, I would have been dead five weeks ago.

00:46:55.680 So there's a lot of, you know, mythology around, a lot of misinformation, a lot of cowardly

00:47:01.540 reporting, misreporting, political reporting.

00:47:05.440 It's a mess, whether you're in Long Island, New York City, or down in Texas, where you guys

00:47:10.440 are.

00:47:10.660 All right, so Bill, there is a real debate going on right now.

00:47:17.260 I don't, I don't think we can argue that this is dangerous.

00:47:20.400 The, the numbers, if they just continue at the pace that they're at today, it will become

00:47:25.320 the most deadly virus of the last hundred years.

00:47:30.740 I mean, it is really, it looks like it's going to be bad if they just stay on pace and don't

00:47:38.900 exponentially grow by the end of next month.

00:47:42.020 It will be bad.

00:47:43.020 And I think we've done a lot to contain it.

00:47:45.160 But the real debate here is, is the cure worse than the virus?

00:47:51.100 You know, Damar, I, I've heard this on television mostly.

00:47:58.660 And I'm sitting here and I'm going, look, if you're in a zone where there are a lot of

00:48:03.800 people ill, you're not going to be able to cherry pick what you do.

00:48:10.880 You're not.

00:48:11.600 Now, if you live in the Dakotas or Wyoming or Nebraska or places that have not been impacted,

00:48:17.780 you should go about your daily life.

00:48:19.940 And that's the local authorities.

00:48:21.920 You should follow their lead.

00:48:23.280 It's not a one size fits all.

00:48:25.620 But these commentators who are saying, well, you know, let the old people stay inside.

00:48:30.380 The rest of us will go out.

00:48:31.940 You're insane.

00:48:33.340 I mean, it's way too contagious.

00:48:35.720 So we're going to have to all sit down for two months.

00:48:41.340 That's what it did in China.

00:48:43.220 Now, I don't believe China at all, but there is independent reporting that the virus is on

00:48:50.580 the decline in China where it originated.

00:48:53.200 So I think we're going to do the same thing here.

00:48:55.220 And by May, you'll see the stats down.

00:48:58.280 And then the local people will decide who can do what.

00:49:01.600 But to say, well, it's not worth it.

00:49:04.460 We're losing too many jobs.

00:49:05.820 I think that's fallacious.

00:49:07.600 I really think that's dangerous reporting.

00:49:09.800 And you're hearing it.

00:49:11.860 So, Bill, I think that we need to keep the country closed.

00:49:17.380 But there is a point to where you don't just fire these engines back up.

00:49:23.080 I don't know where that is.

00:49:24.600 I don't know if you know Stephen Moore, the economist.

00:49:27.100 But he's a good friend.

00:49:30.080 He's always very optimistic.

00:49:32.160 He got off the phone.

00:49:33.360 He was supposed to be on with me.

00:49:34.640 You know, at this time, a couple of days ago, and he got called into a meeting at the White

00:49:38.780 House and said, I'll call you right back.

00:49:40.340 I'll call you next hour if I can get out of the meeting.

00:49:42.340 And so he he had no time to process.

00:49:45.540 And he was right on the air.

00:49:47.300 And I've never heard him like this.

00:49:49.180 He's like, this is just catastrophic.

00:49:52.680 What is is coming?

00:49:54.020 How do we balance that?

00:49:57.160 Well, first of all, speculation doesn't help anybody.

00:49:59.940 And I was critical of Fauci, the doctor, because he's going, well, I might come back in the fall.

00:50:06.420 Hey, that doesn't do us any good, Doc.

00:50:08.320 OK, no.

00:50:09.540 You know, it doesn't.

00:50:10.780 All right.

00:50:11.100 So you don't need to say that.

00:50:12.660 And number two.

00:50:13.480 Well, we do.

00:50:14.080 Hang on.

00:50:14.500 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, speculation.

00:50:19.960 Speculation isn't good.

00:50:20.880 But being able to get people prepared for possibilities, I'm afraid if you're right, I'm afraid people

00:50:29.000 are going to think, right.

00:50:31.060 But I think people on when it's coming back, I think people saying, oh, well, OK, we're past

00:50:36.540 it.

00:50:36.780 If they're not aware that it might come back in fall, it will be it.

00:50:43.980 You know, people have to understand that that the second wave of Spanish flu, it did come

00:50:50.860 back and it was worse than the first.

00:50:52.460 It doesn't mean it's going to happen this time, but you do have to be aware of it.

00:50:56.760 It could come back.

00:50:58.280 I disagree vehemently unless you have data to back it up.

00:51:03.580 So I'm sure you're aware at the University of Pittsburgh, they're now going into human

00:51:08.060 trials on a medicine that will abruptly stop the pandemic.

00:51:14.960 Yes.

00:51:15.060 So we're going to live in a totally different country in September than we're living in

00:51:19.800 in April.

00:51:21.360 The whole country is going to be different in September and none of us know how that's

00:51:25.660 going to shake.

00:51:26.540 So I don't need Fauci telling me this might happen.

00:51:31.620 It could have.

00:51:32.140 It would have.

00:51:32.600 So you just put out there, this is what we're doing.

00:51:35.880 This is what the data says.

00:51:37.420 And then in July or August, if you see a trend up, then you say, yeah, okay, everybody, but

00:51:46.280 to scare people and people are absolutely frightened.

00:51:51.300 I mean, they are crazy.

00:51:53.580 Some of them, not me.

00:51:55.140 Because if I die, we're probably all better off.

00:51:58.280 But most people, most people are.

00:52:02.600 I mean, it's debatable.

00:52:03.760 I mean, you make a good point.

00:52:05.280 You do make a good point with a lot of facts and data points to back that up.

00:52:09.720 But that's right.

00:52:10.220 I don't want to speculate.

00:52:11.180 Let's just, let's just, let's just, I don't want to speculate.

00:52:14.000 Look, there are two prongs to this reportage.

00:52:18.500 And I can't tell you how the U.S. press, the journalism industry in America is letting

00:52:24.680 down every single America.

00:52:26.840 You would think they would rise to the occasion and put aside all the hatred, bias, and lies

00:52:34.660 and just report the truth or try to get the truth.

00:52:39.160 You would think that that might happen.

00:52:41.700 And I will give you, I know we are up against a break, but I'll give you a really vivid example

00:52:47.540 of a mass lie being reported by the American press, a mass lie.

00:52:53.500 And there's no one to rebut it, Beck.

00:52:56.600 There's no one to combat it.

00:52:59.120 And this is so dangerous.

00:53:00.820 So that's one prong of the disease reportage.

00:53:04.360 The other is people don't know what's true.

00:53:08.720 They don't know whether to wear a mask.

00:53:10.640 They don't know whether to dress up.

00:53:13.440 They don't know whether to.

00:53:14.520 They don't know whether to.

00:53:18.620 Bill, they don't know whether or not to wear a mask.

00:53:21.100 Yes, they should wear a mask.

00:53:22.540 All right, fine, but they don't know.

00:53:25.480 Some people say yes.

00:53:26.500 You know why they don't know?

00:53:27.840 People say, no, you don't have to.

00:53:30.220 Do you know why they don't know?

00:53:32.980 They don't know because the combination of those in the government and mainly in the media

00:53:39.180 that just don't trust the American people with information said, we're going to have

00:53:44.480 a shortage of masks.

00:53:45.620 Tell people that they don't need those masks.

00:53:47.840 They need them at the hospital.

00:53:49.080 They won't work for them.

00:53:50.040 Of course, they'll work for them if they're working for the doctors.

00:53:52.540 Trust the American people and give them the information.

00:53:56.040 They'll do the right thing.

00:53:58.040 They'll do the right thing.

00:53:59.240 If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask if you can get one.

00:54:02.360 Okay.

00:54:03.140 But there isn't any definitive.

00:54:05.920 If you wear the mask, you're not going to get it.

00:54:09.220 All right.

00:54:09.860 So don't think if you're wearing a mask, you're not going to get it because you might.

00:54:14.360 Yes.

00:54:14.920 All right.

00:54:15.480 Right.

00:54:15.820 Mask is basically for people who think they're sick.

00:54:18.800 So it's harder to spread if you cough because you've got a barrier in front of your mouth.

00:54:24.340 But this is ill-defined, Beck.

00:54:27.400 The press does not define any of this.

00:54:30.360 They use it to try to hurt people they want destroyed.

00:54:35.240 They use all of the pandemic to try to destroy people.

00:54:39.800 And it's so bad.

00:54:41.360 Okay.

00:54:43.100 Bill O'Reilly, back with him in just a second.

00:56:06.720 Back with Bill O'Reilly in 10 seconds.

00:56:20.100 All right.

00:56:21.040 So, Bill, I agree with you 100% that all of these decisions should be made at the local level.

00:56:25.880 And it bothers me that all of these governors have been begging the president to, you know, call up the National Guard for their states.

00:56:36.120 I 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.

00:56:46.780 And they're getting giant bailouts from the government.

00:56:51.460 I think all of these things have to be made at a local level.

00:56:54.900 But you have states like Virginia that have now said you could go to jail for leaving your house.

00:57:02.940 That's insanity.

00:57:05.020 Insanity.

00:57:05.620 Yeah, they're not going to enforce that, but they're doing it, you know, to scare people to stay inside.

00:57:11.620 But, look, I agree that local and state by state should be the primary deciders in how the people are directed to fight this pandemic.

00:57:26.740 But you're not getting any kind of honesty in reportage.

00:57:31.960 How much time do we have?

00:57:34.320 You've got about four or five minutes.

00:57:36.960 Four or five minutes.

00:57:37.440 All right, good.

00:57:38.280 Okay.

00:57:39.180 So at the national level, you are seeing now a movement to destroy Donald Trump as a viable contender in November for re-election.

00:57:50.140 You're seeing that driven by the media, the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe.

00:57:56.140 Boston Globe editorialized this week.

00:57:57.860 Trump has blood on his hands because he didn't sound the alarm soon enough.

00:58:03.140 Here are the facts.

00:58:04.200 I want you and Stu to write them down.

00:58:05.980 Ready?

00:58:06.420 Yeah, I got my pen right here.

00:58:07.480 Okay.

00:58:07.920 All right.

00:58:08.740 So President Trump, and I'm not trying to get him re-elected.

00:58:11.560 I just want the truth.

00:58:13.320 President Trump stopped flights from China on January 31st.

00:58:21.140 Got it.

00:58:21.480 At the same time, Italy stopped flights from China to the Italian peninsula.

00:58:27.600 Those are the only two countries that did that.

00:58:30.700 Not one world leader, not one in January sounded the alarm.

00:58:36.400 And neither did the World Health Organization attached to the UN.

00:58:40.460 No one sounded the alarm.

00:58:42.040 So Trump was first in stopping flights from China.

00:58:46.160 First.

00:58:47.300 Okay.

00:58:47.600 Between January 1st, when the Wuhan virus was announced, and February 25th, the fourth Democratic

00:58:55.620 debate of 2020, not one Democrat mentioned the pandemic in the three debates.

00:59:03.440 Not one.

00:59:05.140 Not one moderator, questioner asked a question about it.

00:59:09.760 Not one.

00:59:10.860 These are facts.

00:59:14.340 So no one in the media, no one in the Democratic Party, between New Year's Day and February 25th, did jack.

00:59:23.620 Nothing.

00:59:24.100 The blaze and O'Reilly.com on January 22nd both sounded the alarm independently of each other.

00:59:33.720 I didn't know you did that.

00:59:35.200 The same day.

00:59:36.360 That was pretty early.

00:59:37.920 January 22nd.

00:59:39.340 But no Democrats did.

00:59:42.020 Andrew Cuomo, the first time he sounded an alarm was early March.

00:59:47.720 Now, the movement is the federal government, the Trump administration, hid the severity of the disease.

00:59:55.860 What?

00:59:57.120 Based on what?

00:59:58.340 You have a CIA report issued this week that says the Chinese Communist government actively misled everyone about the severity of the pandemic.

01:00:10.760 So how would anyone know?

01:00:14.000 It is just staggeringly dishonest.

01:00:17.300 And I talked to friends who hate Trump, okay?

01:00:20.260 And I told them exactly what I told you.

01:00:23.320 It doesn't matter.

01:00:24.420 They still hate him.

01:00:25.380 Well, we should have done so.

01:00:26.440 What?

01:00:27.520 What?

01:00:28.340 Is he clairvoyant?

01:00:30.520 Can he read minds?

01:00:32.300 He was the first world leader.

01:00:35.360 Check it out.

01:00:36.160 Not one other world leader sounded the alarm before Donald Trump stopped those flights.

01:00:43.760 That's the truth.

01:00:47.580 I remember, Bill, thank you for this.

01:00:49.480 I remember hearing him stop flights from China and the world reacted that he was a racist.

01:00:54.280 And 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.

01:01:04.800 And I remember hearing it, thinking, oh, my gosh, this is serious.

01:01:09.800 I can't imagine a president doing that.

01:01:12.900 He was way ahead.

01:01:14.180 And everybody mocked him for it.

01:01:15.760 Back with Bill O'Reilly.

01:01:16.320 Well, you know, it's one of these things where we're at home and we are having issues with with everything right now.

01:01:31.220 Things are hard to get.

01:01:32.960 It's hard to get everything shipped to you.

01:01:35.380 It's a pain.

01:01:36.380 Life's a pain right now.

01:01:37.360 And 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.

01:01:47.080 You don't have a discussion with a doctor.

01:01:48.840 It's it's I mean, you're glad you live in this world for that one reason.

01:02:38.480 Bill said you can't trust China.

01:02:39.960 You can't trust anybody.

01:02:41.080 Can't trust the WHO tonight on Blaze.

01:02:43.180 Hey, Mike Lindell is my guest this weekend on our podcast that you'll hear tomorrow.

01:03:01.020 Wherever you get your podcasts, it's already been posted last night.

01:03:15.740 Do it now at Blaze TV dot com slash Glenn.

01:03:19.380 Bill O'Reilly is joining us.

01:03:22.200 Bill, let's let's take this to politics for just a second.

01:03:25.620 How does the president survive the economy?

01:03:33.740 We've always said that if the economy goes to hell, he's finished.

01:03:37.640 I'm not sure that's true anymore.

01:03:40.500 How does what what would you be telling the president or what would you be looking at if you were a presidential political advisor today?

01:03:49.020 Well, 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.

01:04:02.120 So I don't see that as a major problem.

01:04:03.960 But 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.

01:04:12.560 If by September it's not under control, the kids cannot go back to school in many places, people are not opening up businesses again.

01:04:22.200 He loses.

01:04:23.220 However, the Democrats have a major problem because Joe Biden, as we discussed last week on this program, is pottering.

01:04:33.740 All right.

01:04:34.140 His mental acuity is not what it used to be.

01:04:38.580 And everyone around him knows that.

01:04:40.900 That's why Andrew Cuomo is warming up in the bullpen.

01:04:44.480 So we went over that.

01:04:45.440 I don't want to go over it again.

01:04:46.880 But Trump knows that his whole future in politics depends on getting this pandemic to subside.

01:04:55.500 And that's where 100 percent of everything is going.

01:04:58.860 He can't do anything about the economy while this thing rages.

01:05:01.760 So that's the answer to your question.

01:05:03.800 Has 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?

01:05:19.480 When do you think that's going to be really out there and people are using those things?

01:05:27.540 Well, that's an excellent point.

01:05:29.640 And they should have a website up and running where you can go in and ask your questions and get them answered.

01:05:35.480 I mean, it's as simple as that.

01:05:38.840 So, 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.

01:05:52.540 Right. So at Bill O'Reilly dot com, we have an unprecedented surge of hundreds of thousands of people a week coming in for information.

01:06:02.840 And I can give them information like if you file your IRS tax return electronically, you don't have to do anything.

01:06:11.880 You'll get your check if you're under the threshold of earnings.

01:06:14.880 If 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.

01:06:26.500 I can give you that information, but I can't give you micro information about small business.

01:06:32.040 So the government should have a website and it should be promoted dramatically everywhere.

01:06:39.520 You got a question, we'll answer it.

01:06:41.380 Come here.

01:06:41.920 That would be a good thing for the Trump administration to do.

01:06:44.820 As far as I know, they have not done it thus far.

01:06:49.000 Nancy Pelosi says she is launching a committee to supervise Trump's coronavirus response.

01:06:55.280 She says it will unify our country and promote bipartisanship.

01:07:01.200 Your thoughts.

01:07:02.440 My thought is that I, if I were the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, would quarantine Nancy Pelosi for eight years.

01:07:11.920 She couldn't come out of her house and I disconnect all of her internet so she couldn't call anybody.

01:07:19.120 All right.

01:07:19.420 I think that the pandemic can be used for good in certain purposes.

01:07:24.360 And if we can isolate Nancy Pelosi by using some of the pandemic panic, we should do so.

01:07:31.740 Well, Chuck Schumer, did you see the letter that Donald Trump wrote to Chuck Schumer yesterday was hysterical.

01:07:44.760 It was hysterical.

01:07:46.460 I loved it.

01:07:47.340 I don't know why Trump is even bothering with this.

01:07:51.540 Just go out on a little daily thing you do and say, look, Chuck, you're a moron.

01:07:58.900 Everybody knows it.

01:08:00.200 And the only reason you're in there is because of the machine in New York.

01:08:03.260 And, you know, I'm not even going to bother with you anymore.

01:08:05.820 So, you know, writing him a letter and I, but look, this is the circus.

01:08:12.740 And I'm more interested in the folks.

01:08:15.620 The circus is the circus.

01:08:18.000 And you can watch it on cable news, which, by the way, is the worst.

01:08:23.060 Repetitive.

01:08:23.800 They don't know what to do.

01:08:25.500 Tell me more.

01:08:26.840 What do you make?

01:08:27.560 How are their ratings?

01:08:28.940 How are their ratings, Bill?

01:08:30.100 Through the roof.

01:08:31.380 Through the roof.

01:08:33.280 Because people have nothing to do.

01:08:34.920 They're sitting in the house.

01:08:36.080 And that brings me to my last point.

01:08:38.140 And I'm so glad you asked.

01:08:42.060 Yeah.

01:08:42.760 Okay.

01:08:43.280 What is the most important thing O'Reilly is doing to help the nation in this pandemic?

01:08:50.260 Thank you for asking that, Glenn Beck.

01:08:52.160 That was still my next question.

01:08:54.340 I'm sure you guys collaborated on that.

01:08:57.480 Right.

01:08:57.760 So every night on the no spin news on Bill O'Reilly dot com, I do a final thought, which

01:09:04.620 is a personal thing.

01:09:05.800 And I tell you what I'm doing in the pandemic, how it affects me.

01:09:10.080 But the most important one I've done is to ask or suggest that every American keep a journal.

01:09:18.860 And at the top of part of that journal should be these words, is this doing me any good?

01:09:28.380 With a question mark.

01:09:29.620 Then you list down all the things that are in your life, what you eat, what you do recreationally,

01:09:39.600 your friends by name, your relatives.

01:09:42.680 And then next to it, is this doing me any good?

01:09:47.960 So if I'm eating a quart of Haagen-Dazs every day, you got to be honest with yourself to

01:09:53.800 make this work, by the way.

01:09:55.300 It's doing good.

01:09:55.880 No, that's not doing me any good.

01:09:58.320 If I'm yelling at the kids because I'm frustrated about my job or my status in life, is that doing

01:10:05.720 me and the kids any good?

01:10:07.140 No, it's not.

01:10:08.420 But then there'll be Ziggy across the street is a good guy, and he's helped us out.

01:10:14.920 Maybe I get to know him a little bit better.

01:10:17.200 You see what I mean?

01:10:18.540 You put your life, and this takes time.

01:10:20.860 This takes, you know, thought.

01:10:23.220 We got plenty of it.

01:10:24.680 Go ahead.

01:10:26.160 We got plenty of time.

01:10:27.720 I'm just saying.

01:10:28.100 No, no, no.

01:10:28.480 We got time to do it.

01:10:29.160 We got time to do that.

01:10:30.420 Yes, we all have plenty of time.

01:10:32.240 But you have to be brutally honest.

01:10:34.620 All right?

01:10:34.880 Yeah.

01:10:35.520 Is this helping my life?

01:10:37.800 And put down everything that you do.

01:10:41.040 So if you're wearing Sartreuse pants, is that really helping?

01:10:46.340 All right?

01:10:46.740 Maybe we want to go to a more neutral color and not have people mock us.

01:10:51.780 All right?

01:10:52.720 All right, Bill.

01:10:53.320 That's the kind of stuff.

01:10:54.620 Now, if you do that, because thinking has been wiped out in America.

01:10:58.560 Nobody thinks anymore.

01:10:59.660 They grab the dopey machine, and they punch up some stupid game or stupid website because

01:11:08.140 they don't want to go into the discipline of thinking.

01:11:12.240 But thinking is what it's all about.

01:11:15.660 That's what life is all about.

01:11:17.480 Thinking and planning and doing things that help.

01:11:21.440 Not.

01:11:22.400 Yeah, yeah.

01:11:22.700 Okay.

01:11:23.000 So let me.

01:11:24.640 This makes it very difficult for me to ask you this, but I think I can phrase it this

01:11:29.340 way.

01:11:30.080 Bill, do you believe that the American psyche is in trouble?

01:11:38.940 I mean, we have some problems.

01:11:40.760 Yes.

01:11:41.300 Right?

01:11:42.140 Yes.

01:11:42.540 And anything that you can do, hang on, hang on, yeah, yeah, shush, anything that you can

01:11:48.240 do, you personally, Bill O'Reilly, to help people, that's, that's, that's important,

01:11:53.360 right?

01:11:54.280 You need to seek honest information.

01:11:55.820 Yeah, yeah, no, no, yes or no, no, no, no, no, I know, yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever.

01:11:59.860 Yes, it's important.

01:12:00.480 That I, with my.

01:12:01.060 Got it, got it, got it, got it, great.

01:12:03.040 I've got something that I think would help the American people, and you're not going to

01:12:06.880 want to do this, but I'm telling you, Bill, it will help the American people.

01:12:11.120 I want you to come on this show next week, and tell me what you thought of Tiger King.

01:12:21.020 I want you to watch.

01:12:22.460 I don't want to watch that stupid thing.

01:12:23.200 No, I know you don't, but it would be really good.

01:12:25.800 All right.

01:12:26.080 You, talking about the Tiger King.

01:12:28.660 I'll watch, I'll watch, how long is the episode, what do they run?

01:12:31.560 They're like 41, they're 41 minutes, and there's only seven of them.

01:12:34.400 Oh, all right.

01:12:35.940 Bill, Bill, Bill, you, you actually giving, you actually giving.

01:12:41.560 Your thoughts on Tiger King would be tremendous.

01:12:46.160 Tremendous.

01:12:46.640 For you and Stu, I'll do it.

01:12:49.180 Nice.

01:12:49.620 Now, you've got to watch all of them.

01:12:51.060 I know.

01:12:51.400 Because I'm going to be.

01:12:51.940 I know in my journal, is this helping my life?

01:12:55.320 I know where that's going.

01:12:58.160 No, no.

01:12:59.140 It's not your life.

01:13:00.580 It's not.

01:13:00.880 Is this doing good?

01:13:02.220 Yes.

01:13:02.760 Is this helping?

01:13:03.440 Yes.

01:13:04.020 Because you'll be helping the American people.

01:13:06.300 It will be wildly entertaining next week.

01:13:08.480 All right.

01:13:09.180 So I've got to watch some lion thing?

01:13:12.120 That's what I've got to watch?

01:13:13.440 No, no.

01:13:13.620 Tiger King.

01:13:14.240 Yes.

01:13:14.700 Tiger King.

01:13:15.760 You have to watch all seven episodes, because I'll know immediately.

01:13:18.760 I'm going to watch all seven episodes.

01:13:19.740 I'll watch one.

01:13:19.960 You have to.

01:13:20.580 You have to.

01:13:21.220 All right.

01:13:21.600 You can't.

01:13:22.260 I'll watch one.

01:13:22.660 You'll completely be, you'll completely screw it up.

01:13:26.060 You have to watch.

01:13:27.020 Bill, I'm telling you, there's never anything.

01:13:29.160 You will learn things about America that you did not know.

01:13:32.920 It's incredible.

01:13:33.640 I'll watch one, and if I'm engaged, then I'll watch another one.

01:13:37.680 But I'm not going to lie to you and say I'm going to watch all seven stupid episodes of

01:13:41.740 some cheetah running around.

01:13:43.380 Well, we will see.

01:13:44.480 We will see.

01:13:45.060 We will see.

01:13:45.500 I'm going to hound you.

01:13:46.400 I'm going to hound you.

01:13:48.240 I'm going to hound you on this.

01:13:50.960 Hound you.

01:13:51.620 True life American story that is just unbelievable.

01:13:55.620 And I want to hear your take on it.

01:13:58.100 Yeah.

01:13:58.640 All right.

01:13:59.200 All right, Beck.

01:13:59.560 Thank you.

01:14:00.140 You're out of your mind, Beck.

01:14:00.960 You know that.

01:14:02.260 Goodbye.

01:14:02.700 Bye.

01:14:02.940 Totally insane.

01:14:04.640 Bill O'Reilly for Bill O'Reilly dot com.

01:14:09.860 Think he'll do it?

01:14:11.800 He'll watch one.

01:14:12.900 He'll watch one.

01:14:13.940 The question is, will he watch?

01:14:16.020 Will he watch them all?

01:14:17.460 I mean, how are you not intrigued?

01:14:20.540 How are you not intrigued?

01:14:22.200 I mean, I was hooked by the second one.

01:14:24.140 The first one, I was like, eh, OK.

01:14:26.540 But the second one, I was like, I've got to finish this.

01:14:29.420 Yeah, that's where I left off.

01:14:30.400 So this weekend, I need to get through the rest of them.

01:14:33.700 Yeah.

01:14:34.540 Oh, no, no.

01:14:35.580 You will love it.

01:14:36.580 By the way, I started watching Ozark last night.

01:14:38.740 Oh, so good.

01:14:41.220 Ozark is one of the best shows in the past decade.

01:14:45.460 It's so good.

01:14:46.620 It's really, it's really good.

01:14:48.860 Very dark, but very, very good.

01:14:50.580 You think?

01:14:51.480 Was it the pudding of the people in the oil drums in the first episode?

01:14:56.460 It gets to it quite quickly.

01:14:58.620 It does.

01:14:59.560 Yeah, it does.

01:15:01.520 So thank you for that, Stu.

01:16:36.340 Tippy tops.

01:16:37.580 Get it Tuesday on Amazon, Arguing with Socialists, from Glenn Beck.

01:16:40.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:17:00.900 Welcome to the program.

01:17:02.440 If 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.

01:17:12.120 And behind me, you will see a painting that I started yesterday.

01:17:15.800 I should have it finished by next week.

01:17:19.080 It's the painting of American Gothic, you know, the father and daughter standing in front of the house with the pitchfork.

01:17:27.580 I put them in surgical masks, and I should be done with that next week.

01:17:32.560 I'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.

01:17:42.100 So, we'll be putting that up, and maybe we'll make some t-shirts or something like that.

01:17:46.580 But I really want to do my part in helping our charity, Mercury One.

01:17:52.160 Yesterday, we did a big fundraiser, raise some money.

01:17:54.660 We really need your help.

01:17:57.260 We are all over the country.

01:17:59.220 We are needed more.

01:18:00.480 We're helping with logistics.

01:18:02.500 And our partners on the ground are everywhere.

01:18:05.320 You can find out more about Mercury One and what we're doing at mercuryone.org slash donate.

01:18:12.780 If you can donate, we would really appreciate it.

01:18:17.720 And I'll be doing this auction.

01:18:19.060 100% of all of the money that goes to Mercury One for things like this, 100% of it goes right directly.

01:18:26.800 We don't take anything off the top.

01:18:28.440 It goes right directly to our local partners.

01:18:31.100 So, you know that it's going, you know where every dime is going.

01:18:34.920 Mercury One.org slash donate if you can help out.

01:18:40.080 All right.

01:18:41.280 Have you heard about the hospital ships, you know, the mercy and the comfort?

01:18:45.920 Yeah.

01:18:46.280 They brought that into New York, and they only have 20 patients.

01:18:51.780 One in L.A. has, I think, 13.

01:18:53.680 The one in New York has 20.

01:18:55.300 And that's because the ambulance can't bring people right to the ship.

01:19:00.820 They have all kinds of regulations and everything else.

01:19:03.740 I mean, they really need to suspend the regulations.

01:19:06.000 If that hospital ship is there to help people, you know, have a heart attack, and you can't,

01:19:11.960 they now say that EMS can't bring the heart attack people to the hospitals.

01:19:16.880 Well, that's what the comfort is there for.

01:19:18.700 And they can't do it because of government regulations and city regulations.

01:19:26.160 Somebody's got to plow through all of that stuff and just be able to open these ships up.

01:19:31.140 They're there to help.

01:19:32.420 Let's actually get them to help people.

01:19:34.840 Everybody becomes a libertarian during a pandemic.

01:19:37.340 It's the reverse of what everybody's saying.

01:19:39.140 Everyone loves to get down.

01:19:40.100 When it really counts, you break down those walls.

01:19:44.720 Yep.

01:19:45.380 And you say us people on the ground locally know what we're doing.

01:19:49.100 Glenn Beck.

01:19:50.500 We have a lot to get to this hour.

01:20:01.960 We have our daily coronavirus update just to bring you up to speed on the numbers and some of the big stories.

01:20:06.680 Also, we have from the Tiger King, we have Larry Rhodes.

01:20:11.320 He's the sheriff that's in that.

01:20:13.640 He's retired now.

01:20:14.780 He heard me talking about it this week and he wrote to me and he said, Glenn, wait a minute.

01:20:19.880 Not all of us were insane.

01:20:22.000 We have him coming up in just a second.

01:20:23.640 Also, Charlie Kirk.

01:20:25.160 Beware of big government.

01:20:26.880 What's really in these stimulus packages and what we need to watch for.

01:20:30.720 That's coming up.

01:20:31.560 Also, Mike Lindell.

01:20:32.500 Just a ton of stuff happening this hour.

01:20:35.100 Don't miss a second of it.

01:20:36.060 We begin in one minute.

01:20:37.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:39.820 I have to thank God car mechanics are on the list of people who are considered essential workers in the U.S.

01:20:49.660 Otherwise, you know, you'd be fixing your own car as it broke down.

01:20:53.880 Or in my case, you'd just be walking and swearing a lot.

01:20:57.520 Probably you still have the mechanics.

01:21:01.900 All you need now to make sure that you can repair your car is to have Car Shield.

01:21:06.460 Car 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.

01:21:16.060 And with Car Shield, you're behind the wheel of the plan.

01:21:19.840 It's a customizable monthly plan with rates as low as ninety nine bucks a month.

01:21:24.140 You can choose your favorite mechanic or dealership to do the work.

01:21:26.920 It doesn't matter because Car Shield writes the check directly to them.

01:21:30.040 You're not waiting around or anything.

01:21:31.800 They have a rental car while yours is in the shop.

01:21:34.200 They have 24 seven roadside assistance and they've already covered paid out.

01:21:40.400 I think I don't remember the number now.

01:21:44.220 I just I know they've helped a million customers fix their car.

01:21:48.280 The number that they have paid out is it's a little staggering.

01:21:51.560 But they're America's number one auto protection provider with rates as low as ninety nine dollars a month.

01:21:57.020 You have nothing to lose here.

01:21:58.300 Get covered by Car Shield today.

01:22:00.200 The last thing you can afford is something major to go wrong with your car.

01:22:03.600 And we all know it will eight hundred car six thousand eight hundred car six thousand.

01:22:08.200 Mention the promo code Beck or visit CarShield dot com and use the promo code Beck.

01:22:12.680 You'll save 10 percent.

01:22:14.160 That's CarShield dot com promo code Beck.

01:22:19.520 All right, let's get through these as quickly as we can.

01:22:22.440 Total confirmed cases now worldwide.

01:22:24.540 We are now over a million cases up from nine hundred and fifty thousand yesterday.

01:22:29.980 Total confirmed deaths worldwide.

01:22:31.880 Fifty four thousand.

01:22:33.160 That's up from forty eight thousand yesterday.

01:22:36.500 Twelve percent of U.S.

01:22:38.100 Confirmed cases now require hospitalization.

01:22:40.520 That 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.

01:22:50.440 We now have two hundred and forty five thousand three hundred and eighty confirmed cases and six thousand ninety five people have died.

01:23:00.440 That is up about forty thousand from yesterday and up a thousand deaths from yesterday.

01:23:09.660 The White House now is going to recommend all Americans wear face masks in public.

01:23:14.820 President Trump said yesterday that they are considering a recommendation.

01:23:18.540 He says the recommendation is coming out.

01:23:20.620 I don't think it's going to be mandatory.

01:23:21.780 If people want to wear the masks, they can.

01:23:25.180 However, we shouldn't be using masks that, you know, our surgeons and our nurses and everybody else need at the hospital.

01:23:33.520 Later, somebody from the White House said that they're going to narrowly target areas with highly community community transmission.

01:23:42.060 And that's the matter that remains under discussion whether they're going to do this for the whole country or not.

01:23:46.760 A 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.

01:23:57.800 This 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.

01:24:11.020 Violators without a face mask, at least in Laredo, face up to a thousand dollar fine.

01:24:18.260 Similar provisions are now being considered in the entire state of California, according to Gavin Newsom's office.

01:24:23.800 Antibody tests are getting accelerated availability, unlike vaccine testing and production, which could take months, if not years.

01:24:34.720 SARS-CoV-19 antibody tests could be available in the U.S. in just a few weeks.

01:24:41.560 Now, this could be the key to opening America back up and getting us out of our shelter in place.

01:24:47.280 If you already have an immunity to this virus, you could go back to work.

01:24:52.120 Most known coronavirus immunities, however, in humans are not permanent.

01:24:58.320 Researchers say that, you know, the flu, for example, it grants only a seasonal immunity and can be caught just a few months later.

01:25:06.520 So we have to watch this carefully.

01:25:09.540 The hospital ships are sitting empty.

01:25:13.240 The much touted Navy hospital ships in New York and Los Angeles sit 95 percent empty as of last night in New York.

01:25:20.720 The comfort thousand beds largely unused.

01:25:24.360 It's twelve hundred member crew almost idle.

01:25:27.740 We're waiting for the patients.

01:25:29.400 One of the nurses said only 20 patients have been transferred to the ship.

01:25:33.320 New 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.

01:25:44.280 The Navy hospital ship, the Mercy in Los Angeles docked, only has 15 patients there.

01:25:51.240 Michael Dowling, the head of Northwell Health, New York's largest hospital system, said, if I'm being blunt about it, this is a joke.

01:25:57.860 Everyone can say thank you for putting up these wonderful places and opening these cavernous halls.

01:26:03.200 But we're in a crisis here.

01:26:04.660 We're in a battlefield.

01:26:05.760 The issue is red tape on top of the strict rules preventing people infected with the virus from coming on board.

01:26:12.000 The Navy is also refusing to treat a host of other conditions.

01:26:16.140 Guidelines disseminated to hospitals include a list of 49 medical conditions that would exclude a patient from admittance to the ship.

01:26:22.840 And ambulances cannot take people directly to the comfort.

01:26:27.200 They 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.

01:26:36.640 911 call centers are already massively swamped in New York.

01:26:41.600 Ambulances are not available to take non-infected persons to each ship.

01:26:46.460 Meanwhile, across New York, hospitals are overrun.

01:26:49.340 Patients have died in hallways before they can even be hooked up to one of the available ventilators in New York.

01:26:56.780 Doctors and nurses who have had to use the same protective gear again and again and again are now getting sick themselves.

01:27:03.580 So many people are dying.

01:27:05.100 The city is running low on body bags, said the head of the hospital.

01:27:09.740 The coroner's office told our administrator to start double wrapping bodies in sheets for the time being.

01:27:17.520 Let me give you a hopeful sign.

01:27:19.340 The University of Pittsburgh researchers have found COVID-19 a vaccine, they say.

01:27:24.600 Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine believe they found a potential vaccine for the coronavirus.

01:27:30.760 Researchers announced their findings yesterday believe the vaccine could be rolled out quickly enough to significantly impact the spread of disease.

01:27:38.780 The vaccine would be delivered on a small fingertip-sized patch when tested on mice.

01:27:45.100 The vaccine produced enough antibodies believed to successfully counteract the virus.

01:27:50.100 Scientists say they were available.

01:27:51.740 They are able to act fast because they had already done research on similar coronavirus, SARS and MERS.

01:27:58.520 Trump administration ordered the FBI to fast track the next phase of animal trials for the experimental vaccine.

01:28:05.340 Officials warn that even if it's success, human trials and ultimate production could still be as far away as 12 to 18 months.

01:28:13.660 It's early, but it's a very positive result.

01:28:17.840 There'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.

01:28:33.340 Governor 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.

01:28:45.360 This makes Vermont the second state in the U.S. to make gardening supplies non-essential.

01:28:51.400 Well, that's the problem.

01:28:53.400 The list of items deemed as non-essential includes electronics.

01:28:57.720 What? Books? Are you kidding me?

01:28:59.660 Furniture, sporting equipment, toys, and gardening supplies, or lawn care.

01:29:03.840 Such items could still be ordered by way of various company websites, according to the signs posted inside.

01:29:08.980 Walmart stores posted to Twitter by Walmart shoppers, and it shows that there's a ban that you can't buy seeds.

01:29:15.740 Our studios and our staff just reached out to the governor's office.

01:29:21.400 We have not heard anything officially, but we have gotten a couple of responses where they have just opened this back up.

01:29:29.660 Walmart, as we called them, and we said, hey, what's going on?

01:29:34.240 They said it was a misinterpretation of the law, and they are now calling those Walmarts to say, remove the signs from the seeds.

01:29:42.800 You're able to buy those seeds.

01:29:45.140 Again, it is really important, really, really important that you don't panic when you see things.

01:29:52.760 Many times it will be a misunderstanding like this was.

01:31:44.520 Station ID.

01:31:51.740 So Larry Rhodes is the former Garvin County, Oklahoma sheriff.

01:31:55.840 He 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. 0.98

01:32:07.760 He wrote into the show just, what, yesterday or the day before to set the record straight.

01:32:12.560 He said, hello, Glenn Beck.

01:32:13.720 I 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.

01:32:25.000 Give me some credit.

01:32:25.920 I did my best to tell producers of the show what a constant problem the animal park was to our rural sheriff's office.

01:32:32.580 I'm the county sheriff shown in Joe Exotic docuseries.

01:32:35.140 Not much made sense with any part of that zoo.

01:32:39.560 I'm now retired.

01:32:40.940 Keep up the good work.

01:32:41.860 Stay safe.

01:32:42.480 I wanted to get him on and personally tell you, Larry, I did not mean that you didn't make sense.

01:32:49.680 I felt like you were the one that was sitting there.

01:32:52.280 You were saying all the things that I was saying the whole time, like, this is nuts.

01:32:56.280 This is nuts.

01:32:58.500 It was nuts, Glenn.

01:33:00.980 And that was eight years of my career that I won't get back.

01:33:07.660 No, I bet not.

01:33:09.820 So what point did you come into this saga?

01:33:14.840 Where in the show's life, were you there when Joe seemed to be kind of sane?

01:33:23.860 I mean, not really sane, but kind of sane at the beginning?

01:33:28.020 Or was he always nuts?

01:33:29.200 Actually, I was, Glenn.

01:33:31.300 I took office in late 2010, and that's where I first met, you know, met Joe.

01:33:37.920 We would have to annually execute a contract, you know, to deal with a protocol if some of these large cats got out.

01:33:48.520 So Joe and I early on communicated regularly, and things were pretty good at that point.

01:33:55.740 But as the zoo grew and as Joe got more exotic, so to say, it really got out of hand.

01:34:05.060 And, 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.

01:34:20.660 Shut up. 0.95

01:34:22.100 Really?

01:34:22.800 Yeah.

01:34:23.220 Oh, yeah.

01:34:24.100 It was a week.

01:34:26.580 I had deputies at that park almost on a weekly basis.

01:34:31.940 If 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.

01:34:43.000 And, you know, we had some pretty major cases as well at the park.

01:34:46.780 Like, what do we not know?

01:34:51.220 What did they not show us?

01:34:53.920 Well, the producers didn't show you quite a bit.

01:34:58.320 But, you know, if you can imagine, those producers worked on that documentary, I think, four to five years.

01:35:05.420 There are so many stories and backstories that, you know, those watching the Netflix series, they didn't see.

01:35:13.480 I mean, just, and I'm not talking routine stuff.

01:35:18.100 You know, for instance, you saw on one episode where that EF4 tornado, it showed Joe talking about that tornado.

01:35:28.600 And it was headed directly toward the park.

01:35:31.320 And I can remember I was responding to the area that was hardest hit by that tornado.

01:35:37.020 And I was on the radio telling deputies, get to the park.

01:35:41.740 It is on a straight path toward the animal park.

01:35:45.000 And I was given directions.

01:35:46.620 You know, don't let any one of those big cats out. 1.00

01:35:49.260 You know, we'll have a larger problem than, you know, what we were dealing with.

01:35:55.160 And, but, you know, at the last minute that tornado, you know, took a turn to the, more to the east, to the east.

01:36:04.180 And, but just little stories like that.

01:36:07.800 But we, you know, we had people, there were people on each extreme of the animal rights and the exotic cat ownership debate.

01:36:21.560 And, you know, my office was, go ahead.

01:36:25.860 Yeah, I'm just wondering if there was anyone saying, I mean, it seems like every single person.

01:36:32.480 There's that one guy who's from Oklahoma that kind of looks like an orangutan.

01:36:38.120 A guy runs an exotic, he ran the exotic bird thing or whatever.

01:36:42.580 He 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.

01:36:55.240 And, 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.

01:37:07.560 So, uh, sheriff, can we talk to you?

01:37:09.880 I said, well, absolutely.

01:37:11.840 Right.

01:37:12.400 But I mean, outside, I mean, in the big cat world, they all seem nuts.

01:37:17.540 They all seem nuts.

01:37:19.740 And I never knew that until I became sheriff.

01:37:22.860 I, 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.

01:37:33.740 And many people volunteered because that, that was their passion.

01:37:37.440 So 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.

01:37:55.140 And, 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.

01:38:03.800 You know, I, I, I can see it.

01:38:06.680 Go ahead.

01:38:07.360 What, 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.

01:38:19.060 And, 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.

01:38:28.840 And he'd bring them out to the zoo and put them to work.

01:38:31.800 So that's what you got, you know?

01:38:35.020 So it seemed like there was a plethora of drugs, uh, there.

01:38:40.700 Did you, did, were you having to fight a drug ring there?

01:38:45.800 Or did you guys know that that was as prevalent or is it, or was it, it was prevalent.

01:38:52.800 We, 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.

01:39:09.640 Again, 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.

01:39:21.580 And, uh, I wouldn't characterize it as a drug ring.

01:39:24.700 I mean, it wasn't, uh, Glenn, it wasn't, it wasn't selling it.

01:39:28.420 Yeah.

01:39:28.620 But it wasn't any bigger of a problem.

01:39:32.160 The 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.

01:39:41.180 So it was, uh, do you, do you think that Joe, you know, in his own way was a cult leader?

01:39:49.320 Uh, I wouldn't characterize him as a, a cult leader.

01:39:54.180 Uh, 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.

01:40:07.720 Uh, 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.

01:40:19.300 There were a few exceptions and those are the ones that were shown on the show that, that stayed there year after year.

01:40:26.820 But, but, you know, we would, uh, we would get a call for service, Glenn.

01:40:30.140 I'm just telling stories here.

01:40:31.600 We'd go out there and we didn't conduct an investigation.

01:40:34.780 We would try to go back and conduct a follow-up investigation.

01:40:38.620 That person would be gone.

01:40:40.800 They, they, they, they would be off to another state, never to be seen in, uh, Garvin County again.

01:40:45.720 And it was, uh, so, you know, cult-like, I, I didn't see, uh, that closed of, uh, a community.

01:40:52.940 It was a public park.

01:40:54.280 Okay.

01:40:55.220 Yeah.

01:40:55.620 Larry, thank you so much for, uh, calling in and I'm glad I didn't have to live your life.

01:41:00.440 Uh, but, uh, what a, what an amazing story it is.

01:41:03.740 Thank you very much.

01:41:04.520 Uh, former governor, or sorry, former sheriff, uh, from Garvin County, uh, that was seen in Tiger King, Larry Rhodes.

01:41:12.400 All right, back in just a sec.

01:41:15.140 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:41:19.360 Okay, so your car, you know, uh, the only connection that you have with the outside world.

01:41:23.780 Yes, that roving quarantine unit of yours allows you to see the world and yet remain safe.

01:41:29.020 The boy in the plastic bubble.

01:41:31.160 Except this one's made of steel.

01:41:32.900 Be a shame if all of a sudden you no longer had it.

01:41:35.420 You have to stay home with the kids all of the time.

01:41:40.780 This is why you need car shield.

01:41:42.860 I want you to call 800 car 6,000, 800 car 6,000.

01:41:47.440 I know that you are right now thinking, okay, what am I going to pay?

01:41:50.620 How am I going to pay it?

01:41:51.680 What do we do to be financially responsible?

01:41:54.140 I have to tell you, I think this is one of the most financially responsible things you can do right now is become a member of car shield.

01:42:00.040 Cause you know, if your car is out of warranty, you know, it's going to break down.

01:42:04.060 It's going to break down the next year, next 18 months.

01:42:06.440 Do you have $2,000 that you can just fork out?

01:42:10.140 If you have, they can put together something that you help design.

01:42:14.480 So it's really customizable, all of these plans and the, the rates are as low as $99 a month.

01:42:20.540 This is really financially responsible thinking.

01:42:55.400 Welcome to Friday.

01:42:56.840 We're glad you're here.

01:42:58.360 Charlie Kirk is joining us.

01:43:00.800 Charlie, I have to tell you, you, you never know who people really are until they're faced with a crisis.

01:43:07.480 And, uh, I have to tell you, I was thrilled to read, uh, your, your op-ed in, uh, on foxnews.com.

01:43:18.060 Uh, if I may, uh, let's be clear.

01:43:21.120 The 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.

01:43:29.720 After all, I popularize the phrase big government sucks.

01:43:32.720 I'm now forced to acknowledge I live in a world where my fellow citizens believe big government solves.

01:43:38.060 I'm not sure.

01:43:39.060 I'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.

01:43:50.780 Charlie Kirk, he is the founder and president of Turning Point USA, host of the Charlie Kirk show.

01:43:57.140 Uh, welcome to the program.

01:43:59.260 Thank you, Glenn.

01:44:00.140 It's an honor.

01:44:00.840 And, 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.

01:44:16.160 So that's well put.

01:44:18.680 So 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.

01:44:37.400 Uh, also, uh, have, have grown up with, you know, maybe, maybe your first memory being September 11th.

01:44:45.860 Then you're in college or leaving college when, uh, when the 2008, uh, crash happens now this, which is much, much worse.

01:44:56.560 I mean, you have people that will just think that this system just is broken and it doesn't work.

01:45:01.220 Uh, and I think we're on the verge of a true transformation of America.

01:45:07.560 If we don't stand guard right now, I completely agree that the threat of the status, uh, has, is only growing throughout this.

01:45:18.800 And, uh, what, what disappointed me most about how Congress approached this, that piece of legislation is first of all, how quick it was.

01:45:28.880 With Glenn, there was very little deliberation over the magnitude of the spending.

01:45:35.080 Um, and, and then they leave town.

01:45:38.880 So they even admitted they could have done things better.

01:45:41.700 So 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,

01:45:52.940 where Glenn, people will literally be making more money, not working on the unemployment rolls than working.

01:45:59.820 Why, why would NPR and PBS get any extra cash?

01:46:03.960 The Kennedy center, why would they get 25 million, $350 million for my resettlement?

01:46:10.340 And you've listed it plenty of times, but what scares me even more though, is, is the, the fiscal recklessness of it,

01:46:20.080 that Congress just voted 96 to nothing to say, sure, what, what, I guess it's a huge crisis.

01:46:27.300 Therefore we have to basically leverage future liberties and freedoms.

01:46:33.380 And again, I'm not suggesting nothing was the solution.

01:46:37.020 And there are some very reasonable things in this bill, like the payroll protection program,

01:46:42.380 which was actually less than 15% of the entire expenditure, mind you.

01:46:47.660 Yeah.

01:46:48.080 Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.

01:46:51.200 Those are the most pro free market pro that I can make an argument under article five,

01:46:57.280 the payroll protection program actually is constitutional and necessary because the government told you to shut down and they say,

01:47:04.040 okay, I will pay you.

01:47:05.920 So I, that I get, but the unemployment provision, the, what on earth, the, the UBI, I mean, the, the,

01:47:15.020 the reverse redistributionism, um, and I, I said, this is a Trump supporter and I remain a fervent Trump supporter.

01:47:23.380 And I understand politically he had no choice but to sign this bill.

01:47:27.000 And I know he was frustrated with a lot within it, but my critique is on Congress with this because we control the upper chamber

01:47:35.860 and we have some really good allies that have been fighting for these ideas for a while in Congress.

01:47:42.260 And I was disappointed, Glenn, that we did not get our viewpoint of constitutional governance, liberty, private property.

01:47:51.380 I felt that it was, um, it would just happen so quick and with very little pushback and deliberation at all.

01:47:59.480 I 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

01:48:10.200 because it's so dangerous and we can't do electronic voice, you know, votes over, you know, over the phone or online.

01:48:17.620 Of course you can.

01:48:19.240 They 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.

01:48:28.480 So there's no strong arming people in the hallway.

01:48:31.020 There's no deal making in the hallway or in the back rooms.

01:48:34.400 And they're just pushing these things through.

01:48:36.940 And I think this is extraordinarily dangerous, extraordinarily dangerous.

01:48:42.820 Oh, I couldn't agree more.

01:48:45.760 And 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?

01:48:52.120 Right?

01:48:52.660 Right.

01:48:52.980 It makes the argument for mail in voting, which is what they're arguing for now.

01:48:57.080 And, and so, so look, the, that, that bill is passed.

01:49:01.560 It's, it's unfortunately that happened so quick.

01:49:04.820 I'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.

01:49:21.820 There are now stories going, go ahead, sorry, go ahead.

01:49:25.300 I was going to say, how, how have you talked to the president?

01:49:28.020 Because his, he came out with a spend, a new spending package of another $2 trillion.

01:49:36.440 So I have not.

01:49:38.060 And look, again, I say this as a very fervent Trump supporter, as someone who's wrote a book in defense of his presidency.

01:49:44.920 And 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.

01:49:57.360 Look, the president is up against an impossible position here.

01:50:00.880 And in a lot of different ways, this was a sneak attack.

01:50:04.160 It is an invisible enemy.

01:50:05.260 And 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.

01:50:23.280 With that being said, I know the president as a businessman wants to get America back to work.

01:50:29.000 And 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?

01:50:53.660 And that was part of part of part of my part of the bill, which is go ahead.

01:50:58.260 But I've only I've only got three minutes.

01:51:00.320 Can you just go over what you're suggesting?

01:51:03.640 Yes.

01:51:04.000 Thank you, Glenn.

01:51:04.940 So I call for a pro free market, conservative student stimulus, which it's not about student loan forgiveness.

01:51:12.720 It's not about any of the Green New Deal stuff.

01:51:15.260 But I make I make the argument because I represent a student organization at Turning Point USA on 2000 high school and college campuses.

01:51:22.900 They're asking me, Charlie, why do transnational corporations get bailed out?

01:51:27.600 Why are we giving checks to everyone?

01:51:30.080 College students are excluded, by the way.

01:51:31.800 One hundred seventy five million Americans.

01:51:33.320 But college students, even if they're working, are not going to get most likely unless they're they've totally filed their taxes.

01:51:39.980 They're not going to get any of those checks.

01:51:42.020 They say, well, what what is it for us?

01:51:44.840 Here's what I suggest really quickly.

01:51:46.460 Number 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.

01:51:58.760 It's so simple.

01:51:59.920 It's so logical.

01:52:00.900 Why would we easy?

01:52:02.100 Why would why would universities take the money in that?

01:52:05.020 It's so, so easy.

01:52:06.260 Number 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.

01:52:15.400 Tuition is breaking the backs of middle American families.

01:52:18.480 And look, Glenn, I'm not one to try to go and tell private institutions how to run their business.

01:52:22.900 These are not private institutions.

01:52:24.200 These are federal government funded, federal government controlled, quasi socialist institutions that are breaking the backs of future generations financially and middle America.

01:52:33.500 And the third thing is a student, a graduate student tax cut.

01:52:37.360 Basically, if you have graduated college and you have student loans right now, the deductibility of student loans is minuscule at best.

01:52:44.300 It's twenty five hundred dollars only on interest.

01:52:46.500 I make the argument that you've got to lift the limit on that.

01:52:49.660 You've got to lift the cap.

01:52:50.640 It would be a tax cut for recent graduates feels that they've got no relief from Washington, D.C. at all.

01:52:56.460 So I'm just trying to contribute to the conversation.

01:52:58.920 We 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.

01:53:11.120 They see the massive spending bills.

01:53:13.020 They see a lot of preferential treatment for huge companies.

01:53:16.260 So 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.

01:53:26.480 The only the only thing I have a question on, Charlie, is I don't want our federal government paying for tuition for two years.

01:53:32.260 That that money comes from the universities and their own their own coffers.

01:53:36.260 So the tuition freeze would be mandated.

01:53:41.060 We 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.

01:53:50.520 And any any overages or anything, you guys have to go into your endowment and you guys have to go pay for yourself.

01:53:55.300 Basically, 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.

01:54:05.080 I have to tell you, I think they should be forced to bring them down.

01:54:08.280 I mean, it is only the money from the federal government that has allowed them just to spend out of control and charge.

01:54:16.380 I 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.

01:54:25.680 And it's it's because the government is involved.

01:54:28.720 If the government wasn't involved, we would not be having this issue.

01:54:32.220 Charlie, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Best of luck to you.

01:54:35.160 Thank you. Charlie Kirk.

01:54:36.660 You can follow him at TPUSA dot com TPUSA or his Twitter handle is Charlie Kirk 11 or at TPUSA.

01:54:46.380 TPUSA Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA.

01:54:53.360 All right. Real estate agents, I trust.

01:54:56.800 We'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.

01:55:03.280 And 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.

01:55:10.100 Here's the deal. As Americans, this kind of our thing, you know, this is what we do.

01:55:14.000 This is what this way. We always surprise the rest of the world.

01:55:17.020 We dust ourselves off and we get back up to work.

01:55:19.740 We are the people that figured out how to bring people back from the moon and Apollo 13.

01:55:23.720 Go back and watch that, because that's what we are right now.

01:55:26.820 We are a team that has to look, OK, what tools do we have?

01:55:30.140 We're going to put this thing back together and it'll be better than it was.

01:55:33.280 All right. So what do you do?

01:55:36.340 Well, 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.

01:55:43.720 And 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.

01:55:54.080 And as I got to know them, I realized, wow, they all have certain things in common.

01:55:58.520 So we started looking for those things and find what we believe are the best agents in your area.

01:56:03.900 Then we make them available to you.

01:56:05.560 All 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.

01:56:12.860 And we'll send you the people that we feel are the best agents in your area.

01:56:16.620 You do the interview and take it from yourself.

01:56:18.520 Free service to you.

01:56:55.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:57:09.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:57:12.440 Earlier today, I read an email from a guy named Mark.

01:57:18.740 He says, my family and I are small business owners in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

01:57:21.800 Just came under a statewide shutdown.

01:57:24.120 Still work for a full-time job that considers me critical and essential employee.

01:57:27.780 So I'm out in the mix, as to say.

01:57:29.600 My wife, special needs daughter, and another daughter have compromised immune systems.

01:57:33.920 I work more hours than you can imagine.

01:57:35.560 And we're possibly looking at losing everything we've worked so hard for for so long.

01:57:39.460 I keep my chin up and I try to keep positive spin going for them.

01:57:43.580 But inside, I'm lost, not knowing where to go from here.

01:57:46.220 The 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.

01:57:54.560 But no matter what, you know the rest.

01:57:57.080 I support what's right for the people and what keeps us safe.

01:57:59.700 But I'm just running on empty anymore.

01:58:02.280 And my love for my family, my country, my God is what keeps me alive most days.

01:58:07.020 But it's getting harder and harder for chin up.

01:58:09.240 The next chapter is hard to see.

01:58:11.580 Well, Rebecca is on the phone now.

01:58:14.140 She heard that earlier today.

01:58:15.500 Hi, Rebecca.

01:58:16.060 How are you?

01:58:17.380 Hi, Glenn.

01:58:17.880 Thanks for taking my call.

01:58:18.880 I'm great.

01:58:19.360 My husband and I listen to your show every morning and I was so touched by this young man.

01:58:23.240 I, 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.

01:58:32.260 And I would love to do something for this young family if there's a way that I can get in touch with them.

01:58:37.340 And, you know, I just think that there's a lot of us out there who can be of service at one time or another.

01:58:42.620 And I just felt compelled to give you a call and find out how I could help.

01:58:46.360 So, 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.

01:58:55.300 And I'm not sure if he's willing to share it, but I hope, because it's the little things in life.

01:59:03.860 It's the knowing that you're not alone is what's really important.

01:59:09.660 What's really important.

01:59:10.460 Well, and I don't have a lot, but I know as a single mom, I did reach out to people even when I was struggling myself.

01:59:18.100 And I'd love to just be a voice of encouragement or help how I can.

01:59:21.960 So, I would love to have you give me my information to contact.

01:59:25.660 Thank you.

01:59:26.280 Rebecca, hang on the phone. 0.99

01:59:27.340 We'll get your information.

01:59:28.180 We'll pass it on.
