Biden Needs Some Hidin’ – STOP Speaking! | 5/22/20

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with a class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah.

Aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

With Pat and Stew today for Glenn.

888-727-B-E-C-K.

So much to cover, as always.

It's like a Sophie's choice every single day because there's just no way you can get to everything.

But we will get to as much as we possibly can of all of it.

The COVID stuff, the, I mean,

the

outcry from people who want us to never open America again.

Oh, can we please bash Andrew Cuomo a little bit?

And yes,

we can do that.

And we'll get to all of that coming up in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You've heard me talk to Mike Lindell and about Mike Lindell.

All right, supposedly, Joe Biden,

who,

you know, may be about to check out mentally,

or maybe already has in part checked out mentally.

I don't know if he's ready to do it, but it's happening.

He's a wedding.

Yes.

Who is checking out?

And I think that's pretty clear because every single video you see from the guy, there are about, I don't know, a hundred different things you can talk about.

Like this, the thing where the geese were honking in the background.

Yeah.

He was the things he was saying about President Tweety, the way he was saying them, the guy who came into the background and was doing the, I don't know who that guy was.

There were so many things in that video.

What about the idea that the way to win over a lady is to compliment their heft?

To compliment their

heft.

That's how I always have done it.

Like whenever I've been at a bar, you know, there's a, there's an attractive lady a couple of stools down.

I say, ma'am, impressive heft.

And she's like, wow.

How do I make it to your hotel room?

How can we make it quick?

Because

now that you've complimented my heft, I am totally powerless against your.

Has he actually complimented people's heft?

Yeah, Tammy Baldwin, who they're talking about as a potential VP candidate,

he was trying to be complimentary to her, and he said she had an impressive heft and lift.

And I don't think either of one of those things you should say about a woman.

I missed the heft and lift compliment.

Oh, I did.

Do we have it?

I know we had it on Stu Does America.

We may have it in our archives and we could look for it.

I mean,

he can't speak.

No, he can't.

This is a huge problem for a presidential candidate, Pat.

This is not a minor side issue.

This is a central issue.

Listen to this.

Listen to this.

But Tammy is an incredibly competent United States senator with a great deal of heft and lift.

Heft and lift.

Heft and lift.

With a great deal of heft and lift.

I don't.

First of all, here's the definition of heft.

Lift or carry.

Okay, so she can carry a lot of stuff at the same time?

I guess, I mean, kind of what he's saying there is.

Is that like an endurance heft?

Yeah.

She's got a bunch of little things, but but a lot of them.

She's got thick thighs, is I think what he was.

She really does a good job at lifting with her legs rather than her back.

And technically, if you really want to go off the definition, it's as if he says she has a strong lift and lift.

Yeah.

They're just the same words.

But what does that mean in this context?

What do you mean, lift?

He just, and that's just a stupid side one.

These things happen all the time.

He can't.

It's obvious, guys.

And this is the thing.

It's not just us, Pat.

This is bipartisan.

Everybody can see it.

The Democrats can see it too.

He obviously can't do this anymore.

Right.

It's sad.

I don't like it.

I don't, you know, it's not fun to watch, but it's funny.

It's really not.

It's not fun to watch.

But you have to point it out because the guy could be president of the United States.

So it's really important to pay attention to this.

And it's fascinating to me that there are any people who still think they would vote for this guy.

And apparently he's still up in the polls.

Yeah, I mean, it's pretty clear right now he is leading.

Now, look, there is a, people will say, oh, well, the polls, who cares about the polls?

They got it wrong in 2016.

Taking a step back from that.

Actually, the popular vote, they got right.

They got right.

I mean,

they missed the popular vote by, I think, 1.6 points.

of where it came out.

And that was the average of the polls.

It was very close.

Remember, and this is a fundamentally important thing to know:

these national polls are not trying to predict the Electoral College.

That is not what they're attempting to do.

They're attempting to predict the popular vote.

And you might say, well, I don't care about the popular vote.

That's fine.

But it is something you, when you're going to dismiss the polls, you have to realize that they actually did fairly well in 2016 nationally.

A few states were off, and that's important, right?

I mean, it was enough to switch the president,

the

election around, but it is a very close thing.

Here, the lead is not close.

I mean, they have Biden up by six and eight and nine points in a lot of these polls, but the caution here is twofold, I think.

One, you have to understand and recognize the possibility that this strategy of hiding your presidential candidate could work.

It is currently working.

This idea that Joe Biden is sitting there and never being seen except when he compliments someone's thighs is a strategy, which I think is a wise strategy from Democrats.

If I had Joe Biden as my candidate, I would hide the hell out of that guy.

I might see if I could build an invisibility cloak.

I would invent it and I would have him wear it at all times.

I want nobody to know he's our nominee.

That would be my strategy.

Everything you can to think, what you want to put, I think, in the mind of the voters is the idea that he's just this unnamed Democrat.

He's not even a Democrat.

He's the unnamed other guy.

He's the non-Trump candidate.

And you know what?

He's probably better.

Who knows?

You don't know because you don't even think about who he is.

Don't think about who he is.

Whatever you do.

Don't think about who he is or what he's saying or how he's

bumbling over a sentence.

Just think about he's not the guy you're currently upset with.

And that might be enough.

The separation point, though, here is that when Donald Trump starts focusing on Joe Biden, he won't be able to hide anymore.

Donald Trump has a way of controlling the media that nobody, I would say nobody in history, has ever been able to do.

Any president at any time,

he can control what they say.

They will be on a whole nother story and will be like,

let me tweet this, just retweet.

Changes the entire news cycle for the day.

You know, hey, I'm taking a pill, hydroxychloroquine.

They change the entire scope of what they're going to cover for the entire day because this guy's taking a medication that tens of thousands of people take.

Hundreds of thousands of people take.

And they just cannot stop themselves.

So at some point, when we get past, hopefully, this COVID thing and

we're in recovery and the economy and it's time for

Donald Trump to be making speeches and doing rallies again and talking about Joe Biden, they're they're not going to be able to hide him anymore.

And once that happens, this is going to get a lot closer.

And Donald Trump is going to be able to make this election not based on this guy right now, who it is.

Right now, it's nobody, right?

It's just this mythical other candidate who everyone, I think, naturally takes their idea of who would be a good president and just puts it on him.

If you have any friendliness to voting for a Democrat, you are thinking to yourself, well, he's probably better than this guy.

I don't like Donald Trump for whatever reason.

And you're filling in, he's the alternative, and that's it.

When you see him perform, you're going to have to make a decision based on him, too.

And that's when this campaign has a good chance of falling apart for Biden, I think.

Is that how you say it, Matt?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And the other thing is, Democrats don't care.

They don't even care if Biden is competent.

He's just not Trump, and that's fine with them.

Like this journalist from the nation,

Katha Pollitt,

who said that she would vote for Biden even if he boiled babies and ate them.

That's an exact quote.

If he boiled babies and ate them.

So that's the mindset.

That's the mindset.

That's how much they hate Donald Trump.

That's how much they don't care really who their nominee is.

If it's not Trump,

they're with him.

Well, if they pick Joe Biden as their nominee, it's obvious they don't care who their nominee is.

Exactly.

Hey,

or you should pick a guy who can speak?

Who cares?

Or you're just not paying attention.

And that's possible, too, that they don't pay any attention.

Because how many people knew some of the weird things that Barack Obama said?

Some of the incredible mistakes he made, some of the, you know, the 57 states comment, or

you just need an inelator or a breathalyzer or not a breathalyzer, an enulator.

You don't need either one of of those.

Yeah, but he had his moments, certainly, where he screwed things up in speeches.

But, you know, he came off at least as a competent socialist.

Biden isn't even,

he's not even that.

He has, he's playing to the far left to try to win over these Bernie people and the AOC types.

So he's, he's not even running as a moderate.

That's not even happening.

People have it in their head he's a moderate.

Why?

Why?

Because he's to the right of Bernie Sanders?

Well, isn't everyone in America to the right of Bernie Sanders?

I'd like to think so.

I'd like to think so.

You know, he was one of the most liberal senators when he ran for president in 2008.

You know, I think the difference, people get confused because Joe Biden has these positions that sound a bit conservative as compared to today's Democratic Party in his past.

That doesn't make him conservative.

That just makes him old.

He's just been around for a long time.

When the liberal position was

something else 20 years ago, he held that.

Well, now they've moved the goalpost so far to the left that his 20 years ago stances seem conservative in retrospect, but they weren't at the time.

He just, he was, he's always been a leftist.

He's always been a guy.

He's a system guy as opposed to Bernie Sanders.

But other than that,

there's not that much difference.

Yeah, I mean, they have slightly different policies, but this guy is a hardcore leftist.

Yeah, we've mentioned this before.

He and Obama were the two most liberal senators in the Senate in 2008.

Yeah.

They weren't.

It's not Joe Manchin we're talking about.

Right.

Not by any stretch of the imagination.

He's,

it's, it's frustrating because people,

you know, because the perception is, as you said, the opposite of that.

And that's how overton-windowed we are.

So

I don't know if there was any way around that.

So, do you think there's going going to be a Democrat convention?

Like an actual, not a virtual, because a lot of Democrats are saying there can't be a virtual

convention.

It's got to be an actual convention.

You think there will be one?

I would think so.

I would think they would find a way to get everybody together.

I mean, they have to figure out a way to put Michelle on the ballot.

So

they're trying.

They would love that, obviously.

Well, yeah.

I mean, she would be really formidable.

She's got such a high approval rating that I think he wins if she's on the ticket.

You know, who knows how she reacts in that moment, though?

I mean, who knows how she reacts as the focus of

the pressure that Donald Trump brings.

But still, she would come in.

I mean, she certainly would open the race

as the favorite.

I mean, there's no question about it.

Oh, yeah.

Now, when she starts talking, who knows?

But, I mean, you know, the media is going to give her the most overwhelmingly positive treatment you've ever seen in your life.

Well, when she started talking in 2008, they quickly

sent her back home.

You know,

please stop talking.

Right, that's true.

However, you know, she's not a dumb woman.

No, she's had

more radical

than even Barack Obama.

I think that's true, but also has had 12 years to go through a presidency and

go through a sipper her words if she realizes.

Yeah, I mean, they didn't have those incidents in 2012, largely, and she's gone through book tours and all of these other things since.

I'm not saying she ever had a tough question in her entire life, but she is, she, as a candidate, would be formidable.

I don't think that that's going to happen.

It's interesting, though.

She doesn't seem to want to.

She doesn't seem to want to.

The question I would say is, like, let's say it's October 1st and Joe Biden is down by nine points.

And it looks terrible.

He's got the scandals popping up, this Ukraine stuff.

There's more tapes that are leaked out.

All this, it's just at the point where the American people are like, absolutely not.

Is there a question there where you say,

you know what, Joe, your quote-unquote health problems that we didn't realize until this very moment are considerable.

Maybe it's time you step down.

And if it was that late and they were to offer, let's say, Michelle the nomination, I mean, she doesn't want to barnstorm around Iowa for 15 months.

No.

But does she want to, for four weeks or five weeks, do major speeches where all the media will do is fawn over her and then she's handed the presidency?

That might be tempting for anybody.

And maybe even Michelle is like, I can leave Martha's Vineyard for five weeks.

I can do it.

Yeah.

Or maybe four.

I'll take a vacation week in the middle.

Yeah.

And maybe that happens.

But even under those circumstances, it's probably more likely that it would be Hillary.

I don't think, I do not think that.

Actually,

I think she's the least likely candidate in America to get that nomination.

I think you have a better chance of winning the Democratic nomination than Hillary Clinton.

They hate her.

They hate her as

they think she can win, though.

I don't think they hate her.

They do believe she can win.

You might be right on that.

But my case would be they look at, like we look at, I'm trying to think of a, they looked at Al Gore, right?

Al Gore went and he lost to George W.

Bush.

Right.

And what they saw out of Al Gore is this fighter who believed in something that was virtuous and who had the election stolen from him.

Right.

That's what they saw.

With Hillary Clinton, they see someone who lost to the worst presidential candidate in American history.

Again, this is what they're saying.

It's not what I'm saying.

And they see this, they see her as just like, you blew that race?

Yeah.

Screw off.

Every time she comes out and talks, the left

runs her over the coals.

Now, if she was a nominee, obviously that would change.

But, you know, I think they would be much more likely to pull out

some random senator, you know, give it to Amy Klobuchar or Tammy Baldwin or some random person

then to hand it to Hillary Clinton for a second go at it.

I just don't think they have any interest in that.

And I think that's smart, by the way.

Or you might resurrect Bernie at that point.

Yeah, I don't think they like Bernie really.

They don't like him.

Bernie, though, at least an argument, he came in second, right?

If you're going to pick anyone from that field, you have to pick the guy who came in second.

Yeah.

I think.

So if you're not going to do that, then I think you have to pick from outside of that pool.

It's interesting.

You look at

the predictit.org as a site where you can go and you can put real money on political outcomes, right?

It's a gambling site, essentially.

Now, wait, it's investment.

Why would you say the word gambling is associated with a site?

I apologize.

This is nothing like a gambling site.

It's a prediction engine.

Okay.

Oh,

that involves real investment.

Wow.

That's how

they would technically word it.

And it is legal, by the way, in the United States.

They have a clearance from the government to do this.

You know, for

research purposes, really, like, what do people, when they put their real money down, actually believe?

Because you could tell a pollster whatever you want.

What do you actually believe?

Well, right now, Joe Biden is at 85% chance to win the Democratic nomination.

Not to win the election, but just to actually get the nomination for the party that has no other candidates currently running.

And they're still saying, yeah, there's a 15% chance this guy does not last.

That is not something that would be funny.

It is in the back of their mind, though.

Oh, yeah.

Somebody else swoops in that they are really married to because I don't know how

married they are to Joe Biden.

No, and they're not married to him.

No, if he looks like he's going to lose, they completely control this, right?

If the media and the left decided, you know what,

we're back to believing all women, and they just started giving Tara Reed all the credibility of the media, he's dead, he's gone, he's toast.

The campaign is over for him.

They control him completely in this situation.

By the way, speaking of that, did you see the Ami Horowitz interview on the street?

No.

Where this is fantastic, we should play this.

And maybe we'll do that coming up here.

Where he goes on the street and asks all these Democrats,

do women, should they be believed?

Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Then he asks,

Do you believe Tara Reed?

Oh, no.

You got to see it to believe it.

Coming up in just a few minutes.

Okay.

So subscribe if you get a second.

Maybe we should do some of this stuff later on Andrew Cuomo because he is like my personal jihad, which, by the way, means struggle.

Right.

He's my personal struggle.

And it's a holy struggle.

It's a holy struggle.

Yeah.

I have a holy struggle.

It's secular.

It's a

secular, holy struggle.

Because as we know, it's

mostly secular.

The Muslim Brotherhood, at least, is mostly secular.

But yeah, and I just can't understand this fascination with this guy who has been an utter disaster, like overseeing the worst parts of the coronavirus pandemic in the entire world.

Yeah.

Not even just the United States.

The only thing.

Yet they love him in New York.

They love him.

I know.

Well, that's fading.

It is fading.

I mean, he was up 80%.

It's about time because, I mean, how do you do such a bad job?

In fact, he was sending...

COVID patients to nursing homes.

I believe it to be the worst single decision in the entire pandemic.

And he got away with it.

Now he's actually trying to blame Trump for it.

Of course.

Of course he is.

Because where else is he going to go?

Wow.

He instituted a policy which guaranteed the import of COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes, where he himself admitted were the people that were the most vulnerable.

Exactly.

And then he also said.

It didn't make any sense at all.

Imagine you're running one of these places, right?

You're like, wait, you're going to do what?

We don't even have the facilities to deal with a pandemic.

We're just a nursing home.

We can help basic medical needs.

Obviously, we know nursing homes have those some capabilities, but they're not designed to deal with a pandemic.

That's exactly what they're not designed to do.

And then they all said this, by the way, at the time.

Yeah.

This is

horrific.

We do not want this to happen.

Then you think, okay, well, if you are, if you have someone in your, in your nursing home, they have COVID-19, you have to let them back in.

At least you cannot, though, import new patients that aren't your patients in

that are COVID-19 positive, right?

So you can test them as they come in and make sure if they're positive.

No, he actually prevented the nursing homes from testing the patients.

So

they couldn't even know if they were COVID-19 positive.

That is, it's madness.

I don't even understand it.

I don't even understand why you would do it.

Let me ask you this.

If I were to come to you and say, Pat, you know what?

We got a real problem with old people.

There's too many of them.

Let's kill them all off.

Give me a policy that will do it.

Would you design a different policy?

No, that would be the best way to do it.

Exactly what you do.

Yeah,

everyone's like, oh, this guy, you know, there's a viral video out there where this guy is punching these people.

A nurse is punching these defenseless old people in a nursing home.

It's disgusting.

A guy got arrested.

They did find him.

It's so disturbing.

It's revolting.

But

compare that to what Andrew Cuomo did.

Yeah.

You know, there's thousands of dead people because Andrew Cuomo and several other Democratic governors, by the way, instituted this policy or a version of it.

And it costs thousands of people their lives

in what is seemingly the most obvious outcome that could be imagined from a policy where you take people who are vulnerable to a pandemic and import intentionally

patients inside of a nursing home.

Like, of course, this is what is going to happen.

Of course.

Yeah.

It's incomprehensible that they would do this.

And finally, after a month and a half, he withdrew the policy, but the damage had been done already.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, by far.

So we've got some

interesting

video to show you concerning Andrew Cuomo coming up in a few minutes.

His brother, too.

Just an absolute nightmare.

You know, in their fight over their mom and who is loved more.

I don't care.

Yeah.

Who your mom loved more.

I don't care.

I do that.

I do feel like the tides are starting to turn on that.

People are sick of the Cuomo Brothers shtick.

They're starting to realize.

I think there's a little bit of a rally behind the guy that goes on in a moment like that where you're like, you know what?

He's the only thing we have.

We better.

I hope he's doing a good job.

You're almost convincing yourself he's doing a good job.

But now that the.

It's almost like a wartime president.

Yeah.

You just believe in hope.

But we're getting to a point now where people are actually looking at what he's done.

And, you know, I can't imagine this holds up.

But, you know, look, this is, this is, there's so much partisanship and so much tribalism around this stuff.

I mean, you look at the stuff with Biden.

You were mentioning before

with Tara Reed.

Do we believe all women or not?

Right.

I mean, what about the hashtag believe women?

That was a hashtag that was circulating during the Me Too stuff.

Believe women.

Well,

Ami Horowitz put that to the test.

And here's what happened.

I'm Ami Horowitz and I'm back in the East Village.

Believe all women has been the mantra of the left since the Kavanaugh hearings.

But do they really believe that?

How important is it to believe women?

I think it's very important.

It's totally-you believe men.

Why don't you believe women?

Same thing.

What's the screen?

Yes.

Well, of course, we should believe women.

It's fing important.

And it will always be important.

I'm someone who was sexually assaulted.

And yes,

it happened in high school.

And I was told not to do anything about it because the guy was the star soccer player in high school.

Nobody would believe me.

Absolutely important.

No one believed me.

I did 35 years in jail for killing my abuser.

So I have very strong feelings.

Tara Reed, she's the one who's accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault.

Do you believe her?

I think she's an employee of Trump.

I think she's despicable.

Do you guys believe Tara Reed?

The allegations?

No.

No.

No.

Do you believe her allegations?

no, no, not really.

I don't believe her.

The timing is also very bizarre, also.

With Tara Reid, it just doesn't seem as credible.

I personally don't know why she's coming out now.

She should have spoken up earlier, and we need Biden.

27 years ago?

I remember 27 years ago.

Joe Biden, to be fair, made, he doesn't remember what we had for breakfast today.

I actually have the best memory.

You know, going back to the Brett Kavanaugh, I thought they were...

She was very credible.

Can you explain to us, to the audience, kind of the difference between Tara Reed's allegations and the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford for the campaign.

Hello.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

You know, I don't know that I recall since my memory is so to specifically say, I actually have the best memory.

Biden's not going around saying, yo, I love beer.

And like, I mean, I don't know if you saw Kavanaugh talk, but that was just.

He's not going to say, I love beer.

What the heck are you doing with that?

That's crazy.

Hashtag believe all women.

You're taking care of it.

Hey, have a good one.

Bye.

Thank you.

Believe all women.

All right.

Peace, guys.

Believe all women.

Take care of yourself.

God, that's so good.

Well, I mean, all.

Except Tara Reed.

Yeah.

Didn't we make that clear in the first place with the Believe All Women thing?

It was all except.

Her.

Except anybody who says something about a guy we want to vote for.

I mean, Ami Horowitz has...

He does such a good job.

That was great.

Because there's something convincing about him where it doesn't feel

to these people on the street that he's coming off as, like, I'm making a point about your hypocrisy.

Like, he's somehow able to keep them in this mode where they think they're talking to someone friendly.

And it is a, I mean, it is a disaster.

Yeah.

It's so, it really is pathetic.

I mean, it's shown that entire movement to be

a sham, at least as it relates to Democrats and their, you know, their, their kavanaugh stuff it's so obviously just partisan nonsense they don't care they never they never cared for a second about christine blasey ford never cared about her or what may or may not have happened to her they didn't care for a second and the fact i mean it was proven because as soon as kavanaugh gets on the supreme court have they mentioned her once nope don't even remember that she's i don't have they have they filed charges against uh brett kavanaugh i i missed it if they did because they could And I mean, for them to say, oh, that was 27 years ago.

Why now?

Blasey Ford was 37 years ago.

Yeah.

And to think about,

think about the differences here, Pat.

We have absolute proof that Tara Reid worked in the office with Joe Biden.

Let's just start there.

We have no evidence, as far as I can remember, that Christine Blasey Ford even ever met.

Right.

Brett Kavanaugh, let alone was at the party the night in question, which we don't know what the night is in question because she couldn't remember.

We don't know what the night is.

We don't know what the house is.

We don't know the date.

We don't know any of it.

We do know that

people do remember Tara Reid disappearing oddly

in the middle of her job for no reason.

We do know that she said that her mother called into

Larry King.

Larry King.

And it did happen.

She did.

She did.

We do know that she told multiple people over the years that this did occur.

And they backed up that story.

And they backed up that story.

Now, look, that does not mean Joe Biden did this, right?

People,

like,

it lends credence to the story, for sure.

It certainly does, right?

It's, you know, we have a justice system for a reason.

And, you know, look, if you, if everyone,

if we decided we wanted to take out some important person, we could all easily align our stories

and say, okay, say this, you say this, you say this.

Three or four people absolutely could do that.

I'm not saying that's what happened here.

I don't know.

But it could happen.

The Larry King thing is a lot more difficult to do.

Yeah.

Really difficult.

Yeah.

Because, you know, there's a national show.

Just getting on that show, I'm sure at the time was probably difficult for her to get on and be able to say that and then have it be recognized as the person, then they go find the tape.

So you're doing that in 1993.

What?

Setting up your 2020 allegation?

Right.

Well, I mean, exactly.

I don't think that that's true.

Though I would say she never mentioned rape, right?

She did mention a problem with the.

So we don't know what the level of that accusation was and I would say too um it's possible that you get fired you create a fiction you tell people to justify what happened and it turns into a long-term story is it possible yes it's possible in the way that all sorts of crazy things are possible people win the lottery multiple times so it's possible sure it's possible that these things go on but it's very unlikely It's possible monkeys may fly out my butt.

Exactly.

It's just not likely.

It's not likely.

You know, it's not likely.

I don't know how many monkeys

you've tried to store.

So far, none.

None.

Yeah.

It's probably the best number to try to store there.

Yeah.

But zero.

There are crazy things that happen, right?

There are crazy things.

Like

a guy sat home in the 1980s and he started watching Press Your Luck, the game show.

And he had a VHS recorder, and he methodically recorded where the boxes bounce around the outside border until he figured out that one specific block never turned into a whammy that would cost him all of his money.

So he sat there and studied the patterns and recognized that it repeated, then went to

California, got on the show, press your luck.

And was able to win like 10 times as much as any other candidate or any other contestant because he knew all of the patterns.

He had memorized how the game board worked.

That happened in real life.

Then that guy left with all of his money and wound up losing all of it and various scams and other things.

That's a real story.

It's a story that actually occurred and he went on the run at the end of his life before he died.

All of that actually happened and was going to be...

It was scheduled at one point to be a Bill Murray movie and what a fantastic movie that would have been.

They never made it.

Why didn't they do it?

I don't know.

I don't know what happened.

Eventually this is going to be a movie, but it's a great story.

And it's a real

guy who did this.

But like, you know,

crazy stories happen.

But like the, all of these things adding up would at least indicate that it goes well beyond the standard of proof that Democrats have wanted for any Republican in a similar situation.

You know, any time, I mean, we remember the James Comey situation.

Where the whole point was contemporaneous notes.

He took a contemporaneous note and that was proof that X, Y, and Z happened.

All he did, the guy, one guy just wrote down, yeah, this happened.

And that was enough for everybody on the left.

These are contemporaneous notes.

She told all these people at the time that this went on, and it's not believe all women anymore.

That's dead.

It's gone.

Really dead.

We never meant it.

And when you ask them, well, wait a minute, what about believe all women?

And you have someone who's maybe a little bit...

more

more thoughtful than the people that Ambi ran into.

What they will say is, no, what do you mean believe all women all the time, no matter what?

What we said is we need to listen to women.

And then, you know, obviously

we have the due process that goes on.

And you're just describing what we've been saying the whole time.

And we still continue to say it today.

That's the difference between a lot of people on the left in the media and a lot of people on the right.

I have not heard one person change their standard on the right on this.

Everyone's saying, like, look, you can't convict him over this stuff.

You might want to because you want him to lose the presidency, but that's not the way we operate in this country.

888-727-BECK.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

You know, there are those people, and they're usually moms that always are prepared for anything.

You have a cut, I got the band-aid.

You need a battery.

They have multiple sizes on hand.

But if you're worried about identity theft and you're only monitoring your credit, well, then they are not as prepared as they think they are.

Breaches seem like they're happening more and more these days.

And with breached information, like your name, social security number, or more, criminals can commit identity theft.

That's why LifeLock sees more threats, like someone taking out a payday loan in your name, and they alert you to the possible suspicious activity.

And if you end up having an identity theft issue, you'll have a dedicated identity restoration specialist that's a phone call away.

Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but with breaches on the rise, doesn't it make sense to be prepared?

And it's

the unemployment situation that we heard about yesterday with another 2.4 million Americans out of work, just it's heart-wrenching.

And perhaps the scariest part about it is people are seeing that number.

They're like, oh,

it's getting better.

And it is a little better than last week, but it's still like the eighth worst in our history and three times worse.

I mean, any

point four million?

We've never had those kinds of numbers.

The worst ever was I think 800,000 before this-ish.

Wow.

Yeah.

And so three times as bad as anything pre-COVID.

And we're like, oh, great.

It's getting better.

Yay, we're on the right track, guys.

All right, we're going to share with you some amazing stuff with Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York.

Coming up.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You've heard me talk about my Takovas boots and how much I love them and what a great company they come from.

It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas.

Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country, Takovis has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Takovis boots.

The cowboy.

Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy, but I know some of those guys.

And not being one of them, I wouldn't pretend to be.

But what I see in them, I see in other people too.

Because in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset, an uncompromising can-do attitude, a willingness to help even when it's really hard.

And most of all, the cowboy knows that the good guys always win in the end.

So as you begin the hard work of bootstrapping this country and economy back into shape, Takovis has the boots you need.

And what do you say?

Let's all be cowboys.

Featuring Pat and Stew for Glenn.

888-727-B-E-C-K to get involved in the show.

On Stu Des America, you've been talking about Andrew Cuomo lately and the great job that he's been doing because he has done some kind of job.

I mean, what is it?

Only a third of all deaths come from New York from this COVID virus, right?

Isn't it like a third of all deaths almost?

And the worst

of

basically the entire world's COVID outbreak

was in New York.

And you have to, and that kind of downplays it a little bit because

all of New Jersey and Connecticut's breakouts, of course, are

related to New York.

And when you look at the genetic makeup of the virus around the country, about 80% of the outbreaks around the country are from New York.

But other than that,

the results are there, Pat.

The results are there.

Other than that, Andrew Cuomo has has done an unbelievable job.

He has.

You know, sure,

if you compare it to anyone else in the entire world, no.

Because, I mean, you would absolutely, if given, if there was a draft pick, who do you want to run

your COVID-19 response?

And the choices were Andrew Cuomo, the guy who was dealing,

he's from northern Italy, out of the University of Northern Italy, the Lombardy region.

You got him, or Or you could just get some random guy selling bats in Wuhan.

I think I go Wuhan at this point.

Yes.

I certainly am going.

I hope I don't have the third pick, and I'm stuck with Cuomo.

I'll tell you that.

So, Cuomo,

we were going through this, and we decided to build a series out of this.

Just going through the timeline of Andrew Cuomo.

Think about this.

We start in March.

I won't give him any heat for stuff in January and February.

You know, people didn't necessarily know what was going on.

But towards the end of February, it started really ramping up all over the world.

March starts.

At this point, you got to know, especially in New York, major travel hub, this is a big deal.

So, March 1st is the first case announced in New York.

Okay.

March 2nd, here's Andrew Cuomo.

In this situation, the facts defeat fear because the reality is reassuring.

Oh, it is deep breath time.

Oh,

just take a deep breath, Pat.

Okay.

That's all you need to do.

Yeah.

Sounds like we're going to be fine, right?

Yeah.

Well, we are.

If you thought that he wasn't taking this health challenge seriously, I can see how you might take that from that particular statement.

But you have to look at his website, which is where he puts the real meat of his policy.

And he made a major statement.

They carried on the website on March 3rd.

And he did take serious action against this health crisis and and this epidemic.

And of course,

by this epidemic, I mean the vaping epidemic.

Oh.

What he wrote on his site, the

nicotine vaping epidemic is a scourge on our state and our nation.

That was March 3rd?

March 3rd.

So everyone else is like, hey, COVID-19 is kind of scary, but what about vaping?

Now, I will say,

Everyone is going to look back and think about March 2020 as the month of the vaping epidemic.

That is clearly what the history books are going to say.

And he was right on top of that.

Now, while people were kind of passing this virus all over the city, Cuomo launched a petition against vaping, and quoting the website, the campaign also includes a new hashtag, no vape NY.

Now, if we have only thought to fight the virus with a hashtag, that could have worked out pretty well.

You know?

Yeah, but he didn't think of that.

Hashtag no Corona NY.

Hashtag down with COVID.

Yeah, hashtag don't sucks.

Yeah, right, don't get it, hashtag hashtags.

Don't get it, yeah, that would have done it.

That could have done it right there, yep.

Unfortunately, he didn't think of that.

March 6th, we're up to now.

We're 44 cases in New York.

Andrew Cuomo still could not believe that you were worried about it.

We have more people in this country dying from the flu than we have dying from coronavirus.

Now, that's one of those things that gets you kicked out of the media these days.

Yeah.

If you were conservative and said that, a lot of people were

poor Dr.

Drew got dragged through the mud by the left for that exact statement.

But here's Andrew Cuomo doing it.

So don't worry about it.

Just the flu.

Continue to sneeze on each other.

Everything's fine.

March 8th, New York hits triple digits, 105 known cases.

We all know it's a lot higher than that in reality.

Cuomo continues to tell everyone not to change their lives around all that much.

If you can move to a train car that is not as dense, if you see a packed train car, let it go by, wait for the next train.

Same with the,

if you're taking a bus.

Now,

don't avoid public transit.

No, no, but just take a less crowded one.

A less crowded one, a less dense one.

Now, I would argue you should probably try to find a governor that's less dense.

However, I understand, I guess, his point here, and at least he's making a little progress.

Cuomo made sure to emphasize that the most important thing that New Yorkers could do was basically lay back and chillax.

Keep it all in perspective.

I know there's a whole frenzy about it.

The facts do not justify the frenzy, period.

The biggest problem we have in this situation is fear, not the virus.

No.

The virus we can handle.

Oh.

It's the fear.

And the fear is just unwarranted.

That's good to hear that Andrew Cuomo can handle the virus.

And you were so worried, Pat, that entire time.

I can remember.

I was freaking out.

No.

Freaking out.

The governor of South Dakota makes that statement.

It's probably fine.

If the governor of Wyoming makes that statement, it's probably fine.

Although if those people made it, since they're Republicans, they would get trashed in the media constantly.

But Andrew Cuomo is presented as this hero in this situation.

The very next day, Cuomo continued to berate the idiocy of people who thought this might be a big problem.

Context, all these numbers.

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

All day long, I have people calling me up and saying, I hear all these numbers.

What does it mean?

It means you find the positives, you reduce the spread.

What is the bottom line?

What does this mean?

People are reacting like this is the Ebola virus.

This is not the Ebola virus.

This hysteria that you see, this fear that you see, the panic that you see

is unwarranted.

We have dealt with worse viruses.

Oh, many times.

This spreads like the flu.

Yeah.

But

most

people will have it and they get on with their lives.

Huh.

Well, there you go.

Just that easy.

Now, I will say, you may have noticed a tad bit, an undercurrent of criticism here from me on Andrew Cuomo.

And in interest of fairness, this actually turns out to be his best moment of the entire response.

Why?

He actually got something right.

It's very rare for Andrew Cuomo in this period.

He is correct.

COVID-19 is not the Ebola virus.

In fact, COVID-19 would go on to kill more people in just New York, in just the first three weeks of April, than Ebola has in all of human history.

So he's correct.

It is not Ebola.

Gold star for that little answer from Andy.

We have more.

Should we take a quick break, a one-minute break, and come back on the other side?

Because we're only on March 9th.

This has all happened before March 9th.

It's amazing.

Amazing.

Back in a second.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

On average, people have to wait around 29 days to see a doctor in some major U.S.

cities, basically a month.

If you're dealing with a condition like erectile dysfunction, hair loss, or cold sores, you want treatment ASAP.

That's why Roman has spent years building a digital platform that can connect you with a doctor license in your state, all from the comfort of home.

Roman makes it convenient to get the treatment you need on your schedule.

Just grab your phone or computer, complete a free online visit, and you'll hear back from a U.S.

licensed physician within 24 hours.

And if the doctor decides that treatment is right for you, Roman's pharmacy can ship your medication with free two-day shipping.

You also get free unlimited follow-ups with your doctor anytime you have questions or want to adjust your treatment plan.

With Roman, there's no commitments and you can cancel any time.

So, if you're struggling with ED, hair loss, cold sores, or other issues, go to getroman.com/slash beck for a free online visit and free two-day shipping.

Getroman.com/slash back-e-727-BECK, it's Batten Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Talking about the genius that is Andrew Cuomo and the way he has handled this pandemic, priceless.

Just perfectly.

Very impressive.

Very impressive.

We're up to March 9th, also the day that Cuomo attempted a media stunt aimed at the generally at the vilification of capitalism, but specifically Amazon for their supposed price gouging over hand sanitizer.

This is 75%

alcohol.

It also has a,

comes in a variety of sizes.

It has a

very nice

floral bouquet.

Little I detected lilac.

Hydrangea tulips.

What does it smell like to you?

That clip gives me chills for some reason.

I don't know what it is.

Him talking about the floral bouquet.

It's made me like hate hydrangeas for the rest of my life.

And notice, the man in the middle of the pandemic response literally reaches his hand out so the guy next to him can smell it.

That is.

The press conference was basically Cuomo bragging that he can beat the market price with hand sanitizer using prison labor, which is really easy to beat all market prices when you're using essentially slave labor prices for all of your employees, which of course later we found out that he wasn't even doing that.

He was just bottling the hand sanitizer with the prison labor, not actually making it.

So he was lying as well.

But that's like the 3,000th most annoying thing about that clip.

The fact that he's getting people to smell his lilac hands is, it grosses me out even watching it.

March 11th.

Now there's 216 cases in New York known of coronavirus.

And Andrew Cuomo is doing shtick at his press conferences, attempting, I would argue, a worse Irish accent than even Barack Obama.

Listen.

Well, I'm authorized, you know, by St.

Patrick.

That's who?

Oh, yes.

I have the highest authorization.

Sure.

Wow.

What is that accent?

Wow.

I don't know what that is.

It makes me dislike Ireland, the entire country.

It makes Irish people dislike Ireland, which is a really, I mean, you're pretty Irish people.

Pretty Irish.

Do you now hate Ireland?

I do.

Okay, good.

I do.

So then he has an interview scheduled.

And of course, by itself, that's not really all that notable.

Andrew Cuomo loves seeing Andrew Cuomo on television more than anyone else in the entire world.

He gets that exposure all the time.

So there is one place, though, he couldn't go to get interviewed.

One place.

CNN with his brother, Chris Cuomo.

Why?

Because CNN had banned Chris Cuomo from interviewing Andrew Cuomo, which is an obvious thing for a journalistic organization to do.

Because you can't have your host as a journalist

interviewing his brother on television.

So in 2013, they instituted this ban.

It lasts for seven years.

And then in the middle of a pandemic, they're like, yo, I guess now is the time for the softest of softball interviews.

That, of course, leads to CNN lifting the the band and it unleashed journalism like this.

Governor Andrew, Cuomo to everybody else, my big brother, I'm proud of you.

I love you.

Thank you for explaining the hard parts and what's going to have to happen so that we can get to a better place in the future.

God bless.

I'll talk to you in a second.

Proud of you.

Wow.

So they're both proud of each other.

They're both proud of each other.

It's good to love each other.

It's good to know.

And that, of course, has escalated to, I think it was yesterday or the day before his fiasco, where now he's doing like carrot top props and bringing out like, you know, nasal swabs

of Chris Cuomo to joke with his brother about his size of his nose.

Let's take one more one-minute break and we'll finish up just the first two weeks of March next.

So you have cabin fever yet?

Well, me and my boy, we're out grilling grilling on our RekTech grill.

It's time to get out and smell the WrekTech, man.

It just smells so great.

Most of us are social creatures, and the prospect of spending week after week holed up in our houses is a little upsetting, to say the least, and that's why we have this little ray of sunshine sitting on our back porch.

In this dismal situation, it's still spring outside, the weather is warming up, the birds are singing in the trees, and your deck still counts as part of your house.

Now, maybe more than ever, it's vital that you get some outside time, some fresh air, and nothing complements that fresh air better than the smell of meat cooking on a RekTech grill.

RekTech, the number one name in grilling.

They are built like tanks, durable, solid, and they are the front line of smart grilling technology.

Do your own research.

People in the know choose RekTech.

Go ahead, look, then go to rectechgrills.com.

You're going to see the huge difference.

That's R-E-C-T-E-C grills with an S.com.

All right, March 12th now, Andrew Cuomo's timeline of coronavirus.

325 known cases in New York, and Governor always on camera is talking to New York One.

In what I believe he thinks is the worst moment of the entire pandemic, he is forced to do an interview and not be seen.

He has to do it on the phone.

So, this is an incredible disappointment for Andrew Cuomo.

listen to the points he makes here though they're irritating all all four of his key points

look we have two issues we're dealing with one is the virus which we can handle oh the second is the anxiety uh and fear that is uh is being generated because of the virus okay uh and that's has many sources uh how the federal government is handling it.

You have all these people spreading rumors.

Oh, but that's just what they are.

They are rumors.

New York City is not going to close down.

Oh, wow.

That's a relief.

That's a relief.

Those rumors

being out there.

I mean, it is a masterclass on how to botch a public response to a crisis.

First, he says he can handle the situation that he blatantly can't handle.

I mean, we can all recognize that he's not handled the situation.

Then he tells people to relax.

Okay.

Then he abandons his responsibility and puts the blame on the federal government.

You know, he just throws that in.

Like, yeah, there's some things to worry about, like the federal government's response, but we can handle this.

And then he says the other people to blame are the people spreading rumors, rumors that New York might close down, something that, of course, obviously did happen and is still happening.

We're in May now.

It's still going on.

And while Cuomo, of course, was very aware of every talking point to deflect blame away from himself, his awareness of the real world is just mystifying.

Listen, especially think of yourself if you're in Wyoming, you're in

Nebraska, you're in Texas.

Listen to this exchange with Craig Melvin from March 13th.

Governor, really quickly here,

how would you characterize where things stand right now in New York State with regards to response to the virus in general?

Well, I don't think it's any different here than it is anywhere else.

The anxiety and the fear

is as much of a problem as the virus.

Can you think about it?

This guy had no awareness that New York was any different than anywhere else.

And this is a time where the media is in the mode that Andrew Cuomo may very well be God.

That is the tone of their coverage throughout all of this.

He didn't recognize that New York was different.

How did he not recognize that?

Everyone on earth knew that was true.

He blew every piece of this response, and he continually went on television and radio and lied about it.

And, you know, really, the only reason this country shut down at all is because of what happened in New York.

The fact that he couldn't recognize it was different is disgraceful.

And I will say, I started, I went through some of the stuff on Stu Does America last night, which, of course, you can subscribe to on YouTube.

You can see all the clips.

See every one of those and a lot more.

But we started going through it, and my idea was to go through the entire timeline for Cuomo.

And then I was like, well, no, maybe I can only do March.

By the end of it, I realized I could only do the first two weeks of March.

So I had to break March into two pieces.

There's so much to pick apart from this guy.

And the fact that he's got this halo over his head after what he has done is despicable by

what the media has done in it.

Almost nobody has the virus in New York, though.

There's only 366,000 people with the virus.

That's it.

Yeah.

I mean, okay, so yes, that's,

let's see, six, seven times higher than Texas, which has one-third higher population than New York.

We have about 30 million people.

They've got about 20 million people.

We have 53,508 coronavirus victims.

They have 366,357.

And of course, that's just known.

Right, right.

That's known, yes.

And we're doing much more testing right now than they are.

Yeah.

And they've done the antibody tests there and found in Manhattan, about 20% of the entire population at least had it at one point.

Which is amazing.

Which is by far the highest in the country.

Again, because New York was different.

I don't know if he knows.

He didn't know it then.

No, he did.

But somehow, maybe over this time, he's been able to figure out that New York might be a little different than a field in Iowa.

Maybe.

And to have 28,885 deaths, which is about a third of all the deaths in the United States of America.

And then New Jersey is second at 10,000, so they're 18,000 behind.

And the only reason they have 10,800 is because the New Yorkers are going to New Jersey to go home.

Yep.

It's unbelievable.

It's amazing.

Well, then you look at the terrible job he's done.

Terrible.

Here is the deaths per death rate per million population.

So you're not adjusting for a population here.

Number one, New York.

Yep.

Number two, New Jersey.

Okay.

Number three, Connecticut.

Why?

Because

suburban New York.

Number four, Massachusetts.

And of course, as we've seen with the actual

genetic makeup of this virus, there's several strains.

And the New York strain has been the one that's infected about 80% of the country.

I mean,

just

unbelievable.

But you can't debug.

You can't overstate

the the terrible job he's done.

It's very difficult to do.

I'll try, though.

I'll do my best.

Okay, yeah, see if you can.

If I can find a way to overstate it, I will.

But I can't.

I haven't been able to find the way.

You don't think you can do it?

No.

I don't think you can do it.

There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck program.

It's Batten Stuford Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888

727B ECK.

We've been talking about this COVID thing, and Andrew Cuomo's handling in New York has just been astonishingly bad.

And yet for a while, I don't think he's there now, but he had an 80% approval rating at one point during all this press conference stuff.

Just because he talks about it every day, people loved him for it.

Do you guys understand you got the worst problem in the world?

In the world.

In the world.

Not just America, the world.

And this guy is the head of it.

Wow.

How does he become popular over that?

Yeah, New York, New York City.

You were saying the death rate per million is theirs is by far the highest.

By far the highest.

They've got a,

let's see, theirs is 1,484 per million.

New Jersey is 1,221.

Connecticut, 1,005.

And those are all basically New York.

I mean, you know, it's a New York area if you don't, if you've never lived up there.

It's not like Texas where you drive for hours and you're still in the same state.

Like people, Pat commuted every day from Connecticut to Connecticut, or from Connecticut to New York, excuse me.

I did it from not even New Jersey.

I went through New Jersey from Pennsylvania.

I mean, you can go multiple states on a normal commute.

This is so they're by far the highest.

When you look at all the cities around the world that have been affected the most

by COVID-19, New York City has the highest excess death rate.

So, if you look at, forget how you're naming, if you think, because some people don't like the way that they've branded certain deaths and all of that, you just look at overall mortality, or like pretty much in a city, the same amount of people die every year at the same time.

It's right around the same amount, every year.

You look at the line every single year, right around the same amount, with occasional spikes.

Like, for example, a spike for 9-11, right?

You have 3,000 people die in a day.

So, you have a spike there.

This spike is much, much bigger than 9-11, first of all, but

it is larger than any other city in the world that was affected like this.

It is 398% above their normal death rate during this COVID period.

398%.

Wow.

The only one that is higher than that percentage-wise is Bergamo province in Italy, which was 496%.

However, a much smaller overall number of people

in excess of the norm.

So the results are not there.

I mean, we went through the whole list in the break when it comes to the death rate.

I mean, Texas is like 43rd, 44th

and death rate.

Florida is like 35, something like that.

What are the states you've been hearing about?

Georgia, Florida, and Texas.

And Georgia is a little bit higher,

but not much.

It's incredible the attention that has been poured over people like Ron DeSantis in Florida, who, by all appearances, has done a good

job.

It's worked out pretty well.

He's been more lenient than other states in some ways, in some ways, but he still has been able to oversee a situation that has not run out of control like it did in New York.

And did in many states run largely by Democratic governors,

oddly enough, I don't think you can ⁇ I don't think necessarily

the virus is a Republican,

but I'm sure that would be the next accusation.

And, you know, it's interesting because I really do have this.

The Cuomo thing really bothers me because of

the idea that he has a 70 and 80% approval rating when he has mismanaged tons of this.

And I do think over the long period that will come out.

That's kind of been my

jihad, which, by the way, means struggle.

Holy struggle.

Thank you for pointing that out.

But in my, I would say, even conservatives for a while were like, you know, he is doing a pretty good job.

What are you talking about?

No, he's not.

No, he's not.

Luckily, we've taken this stance constantly.

Yeah.

It's interesting to see who kind of, I would say Fauci's another big one.

Like, Fauci's one that a lot, it's not necessarily mine, but a lot of people on the kind of talk radio side of things are hyper-critical of Fauci, and he certainly has not been perfect.

You're kind of on this point, Mike.

I'm kind of critical of him.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm not a fan.

Not a fan.

I mean, I don't hate the guy.

Yeah.

And I don't think President Trump should fire him because that would bring down a firestorm like you can't believe.

And just an unnecessary.

Yeah, just don't.

He doesn't need that in addition to everything else.

So just leave Fauci in place and just don't let him

talk at the news conferences anymore, which is kind of what he's been doing.

But Fauci has also sort of backed off all the other appearances.

I mean, he was literally appearing on hundreds of programs.

And now all of a sudden he's kind of gone from all of those.

Yeah, it's interesting.

I mean, I think

you point out something, I think, important, which is, you know, Fauci has no power.

Right.

Right.

Like, Fauci's power is only there because Trump

has allowed him to be the spokesperson.

He can tell, and he may have told him, stop going on all these shows.

I think there was a time where Fauci was so, and he still is very popular.

His approval rating is very high.

It's in the 80s.

But that's nationwide.

That's not, you know, with his base.

His base, I think, has very much soured on him because they want a faster opening, which is understandable.

I think, though,

there's this thing where Trump really got a lot of positive attention because of Fauci.

And Fauci, I will say, one thing he's been very smart about is generally speaking, and not in every circumstance, but generally speaking, he has been very deferential to Trump and that he'll go on these shows and he'll get cornered by

a media member that will say, you know, you brought up this thing where we were going to take these drastic steps and you brought it to Trump.

What did he say?

He just probably said he wanted, you know, oil companies to kill people, right?

And every time Fauci's like, actually, this second thing is that he does not play along with that.

He doesn't.

I will give him credit for that.

He doesn't usually do that.

And that's probably why he's still there, right?

Yes.

But he's been smart enough to say, you know what?

No, actually, the second I brought the first time I told the president about this, he considered the options and decided to go forward with the drastic action to save people's lives.

One possible exception was when he said this.

If social distancing, physical distancing, stay-at-home measures had started third week of February instead of mid-March?

I mean, obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives.

Obviously, no one is going to deny that.

But you're right.

I mean, obviously, if we had right from the very beginning shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different.

But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then.

Yeah, and some of it was from Fauci himself.

Here's what he said in not the third week of February, but the fourth.

No, right now, at this moment, there is no need to change anything that you're doing on a day-by-day basis.

Ah, that's fascinating.

Yeah, and there was, right?

So some contradictory stuff from him, which kind of irritates me.

Although, I think you could take his comment.

First of all,

he used the word obvious about 10 times, and it is obvious, right?

Like, if what we know, if we want to shut the country down in October,

we wouldn't have had anything.

And

there's a huge pile up on the highway.

If we would have just closed the highway down, there wouldn't have been deaths.

We all know, of course, in retrospect, that was not a legitimate possibility at the time.

And, you know, in a way, the person he's criticizing most is Anthony Fauci, right?

The person who should have known that the appropriate response was to shut everything down more than anybody in the world was.

Without ever stating that, though.

I think that would ingratiate him a little bit more to me if he would have admitted that.

that if he would have said look even i was saying that in the beginning yeah even i was saying america doesn't have to worry about this right now yeah america isn't going to be affected by this like the rest of the world right even i said that at the beginning that would be really refreshing enough

i think you're right yeah um and it's it's been interesting to kind of watch that develop that relationship because it is a it has been i think overall when it comes to the the reaction to the country, a positive for Trump that this guy, who everyone can't help but admit is the nation's preeminent expert in infectious disease control, continually comes out and says, actually, Trump listened every single time we talked about this.

That's not necessarily ingratiating him to his base, though, who doesn't want him to listen to Anthony Fauci.

So

I think that's been a tough thing.

And I think you're right.

It would be

a big PR disaster

for him if he were to fire him at this point.

Now, Trump

is not a guy who runs away from PR disasters, so he may wind up doing it.

He doesn't care most of the time.

It's possible he will do it.

It is.

I will be interested to see if that happens.

I think he likes, it does shield him from a lot of the media criticism, though, because

if he says, look, I did exactly

what we were told.

Yeah.

You know, I think that that is

a pretty good defense for Trump when it comes down to the media coming after him.

And that's what's going to happen in this election.

They're going to question every little piece of this.

And if he's got Anthony Fauci there to say, actually, he did exactly what I said,

you know, it's going to be hard to criticize him when the media.

And think about this from Fauci.

One more thing, because

I definitely recognize that, like, you know, the audience in general is not a fan of Anthony Fauci.

But think about, let me compare him to another guy from our very recent history, James Comey.

James Comey also had at one time a very high approval rating and could, and he did, leave, run to the media, write his book, constantly criticize the president openly, say how he basically overturned all democratic norms, and he was so worshipped by the media that he just ran into their loving arms.

Fauci could do the same thing here.

He could.

He could, he could.

He could walk away with an 80% approval rating.

And, you know, look, Republicans would start to sour on him, obviously, when he did just like they did with Comey.

Because at one point, Comey was very popular among Republicans, too.

But he could go in and get this adoration from the media at any time.

And he may wind up doing it at some point.

But so far, both him and Burks

have sat back and said,

the president has acted in an intelligent way.

He'll even say, look,

I'm only making recommendations on the medical.

The president has a much tougher job.

He has to deal with the economy and people and all these different things.

I'm just making recommendations on one little part of it.

He needs to look at the whole picture.

And I think that's the way their relationship should work.

Whether it does or not, who knows?

But the point is that like he could go to MSNBC and be on every single show, every single day, saying how evil the president is.

He's not done much of that, if any of it.

I mean, I'm not saying he's been perfect, but he has at least taken the time to recognize.

you know, what his place is in this.

Yeah.

And it is not president of the United States.

He's not.

It's just not the way this works.

It's not where our system works.

We didn't elect Anthony Fauci.

The only person who elected Anthony Fauci was Donald Trump, who continues to employ him.

And at some point, Donald Trump might say, you know what?

Now you suck.

Get out.

And that will be completely his right to do it.

Yeah.

Completely his right to do it.

Yes, he would be, I mean, he'd be crucified for doing it, but

he has every right to do it.

He did it with Comey.

He did it.

He just said, get out.

That was his answer to that.

Get out.

Triple 888-727-B-E-C-K.

More patents, too, for Glenn coming up.

All right, so there are problems that men face as they get older.

They're not problems you necessarily want to talk about.

ED, hair loss,

all sorts of things like that.

You want to say when one of these things happens, let's just get this taken care of, but you might be frustrated or embarrassed, or, you know, it takes up to 29 days to see a doctor in some areas, and it can get even worse now.

Luckily, though, you have a situation where

Roman was absolutely designed for a situation just like we're facing because they do this all online.

You don't have to worry about talking to your doctor, you don't have to worry about talking to

the doctor that your kid is going to come in a week because they have allergies and you're sitting in the same room.

It just can be awkward.

You're still going to get a U.S.

licensed doctor.

You're still going to get all the best medical information and recommendations that you would get from anywhere else.

You're not going to deal with

waiting in a waiting room.

You don't have to deal with talking to some doctor in person.

No awkward face-to-face conversations.

You can do this all from the comfort of your own home.

Just grab your phone or computer and complete a free online visit.

You'll hear back from a U.S.

licensed physician within 24 hours.

And if the doctor decides the treatment is right for you, Roman's Pharmacy can ship your medication with free two-day shipping, no commitments, and you can cancel anytime.

888727 Beck is the phone number.

It's patents due in for Glenn, who's on vacation.

One of the other things I think is interesting is

how

pathetic the media and the left are when it comes to these figures that wind up disagreeing with their viewpoints.

You can't do it.

You just can't do it.

You know, you will see these people who they embrace fully.

Believe all women they embrace.

And then Tara Reed is a woman.

Ah, screw her.

She's not really a woman or whatever.

They hate her.

The same thing's happening with Elon Musk.

Here's a guy who is literally building spaceships to escape global warming.

Okay.

That is why he's doing it.

That's why he's doing it.

That's his admitted motivation behind it.

Here's a guy who

single-handedly put the electric car thing back in the market.

He's a guy who is single-handedly.

We even know people in this building who have outfitted their house with the solar panels and the batteries and love them.

Right.

Conservatives are buying electric cars, solar panels, and batteries and are signing up to go to Mars to escape global warming.

Because he made them viable.

Right.

He's made them viable.

And at his own expense,

he's lost money on this.

All of that goes down.

And the left, of course, loves him for that.

That's okay.

God forbid he wants to put any of these factories to cure global warming back to work.

Now they hate him.

Now, remember, they spent years telling us that global warming was the biggest threat to us, not a pandemic.

It was global warming that was a threat.

This guy wants to go back to work making electric cars and solar panels, but because he doesn't agree with the I want a permanent lockdown idea, he's the devil.

It is incredible how fast they will change if you step out of line in the slightest way.

Oh, they will snap you back so hard, it'll break your neck.

Yeah.

And that's exactly what's happening to Elon Musk right now.

Yeah, and you know what else?

Another person it's happened to is Kanye West.

Oh, yeah.

Kanye West.

I mean, he is the ultimate darling of the left.

Who is that?

George Bush doesn't like black people, guys.

George Bush doesn't like black people.

You know, he is

absolutely embraced as a genius for his work.

And I know you're a huge rapper

aficionado, so you would know this.

Sure.

But, you know, here's the guy who's like, you know, a genius.

They call him a genius constantly.

Well, not a genius likes Donald Trump.

Is he still a genius?

No, he's a buffoon.

He's the dumbest person on the face of the planet.

And he might actually be mentally ill.

Yeah.

And you know what else, Pat?

He might be just, he might not be black.

Well, he's definitely not.

He's definitely not black.

And I will say, that apparently is a real stance now by the Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, who I think, if I heard this clip right, he seemingly told a black man if he liked Donald Trump, he was not black.

You tell me if I'm reading this wrong, Pat, because I think that's exactly what he said in this interview.

We'll have that coming up.

888727BECK is the phone number.

Pat and Stu, Infra Glenn.

Back in a second.

It is great to have you with us on this Friday, the precipice of a three-day weekend here for Memorial Day.

Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

You can also hear us at other times of the day.

I immediately precede this show live on the Blaze Radio and TV network.

And then you can listen to the podcast whenever you want.

You can download that.

wherever you get your podcast and sign up for it.

Also, YouTube, same with Stu and Stu Does America.

You have all those choices as well, except it's not immediately before this program.

Mine's 8 p.m.

Eastern.

It doesn't precede Glenn's TV show, though, on Friday, or excuse me, Wednesday.

So you can always check that out as well.

Go to Pat Gray Unleash or Stu DoesAmerica on any podcast platform, subscribe and rate and review and do all those fun things.

Plus, you go to YouTube.

For mine, I know if you just search for Stu, S-T-U.

There's my stupid face looking back at you.

It's wonderful.

Easy way to find it.

Okay.

Now, Joe Biden.

This is so many reasons to vote for this guy.

Here's yet another one.

I mean, Pat, did we not start the show today saying, you know what, it's a smart strategy to hide Joe Biden and not let him talk.

And it is a smart strategy, as they found out today, because today they decided, you know what we should do?

Let him talk.

And this clip is

unbelievable.

I mean, it would be disqualifying for a Republican to say this.

Like,

the race is over.

Somehow, they're going to try to make sense of this, but I'm curious as to say if they think

if you listen to this clip and you tell me this guy's going to survive,

the magnifying glass of the camera.

I don't see how he can.

Quite honestly, I don't see how you can.

He's talking to Charlemagne the God,

who does a lot of interviews.

He actually does a lot of big interviews, and he has a very big audience.

And, of course, Biden trying to court African-American voters.

Here's the exchange.

We know so much.

That's really our time.

I apologize.

You can't do that to black media.

Okay, let me stop it real quick.

Just to set this up, I didn't realize this part was included as well.

So what you're hearing is the interview's been going on for a while, and the PR guy steps in and tries to stop the interview.

Again, I will say a good move.

And Charlemagne is pissed off because they're cutting him off and not giving him access.

And he says, you can't do that to black media.

Now, I don't know why.

I guess you can do it to white media.

I don't know what that means.

Is there white media?

Maybe.

I don't know.

Wow.

But you can't apparently cut off an interview short with black media.

Biden tries to talk about why he has to leave because obviously there's only one, I would assume, one place they can do interviews.

There's other interviews scheduled.

Then he says something else.

That happens to all media, by the way.

Yeah, of course.

Of course, it happens to all media.

I don't understand why race would be brought into that.

It's not like the Democratic Party is not saying, oh, well, we won't talk to black audiences.

They want to.

They just don't want Joe Biden to say things like this when they talk to black media.

Here is the clip again.

So much, that's really our time.

I apologize.

You can't do that to black media.

I can't do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o'clock.

Okay.

Oh, uh-oh, I'm in trouble.

Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden.

I will.

It's a long way until November.

We got more questions.

You got more questions, but I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump and you ain't black, it don't have nothing to do with Trump.

It has to be with the

whoa.

That's an amazing statement.

I am flabbergasted by him.

I mean, first of all, the cringeworthy use of ain't in the middle of that.

You ain't black.

I mean, come

on.

If we republic.

Oh, I don't even have to say it.

I don't even have to say it.

You could finish the sentence.

But he is now, we are now at the point where apparently it's okay for a Democratic candidate, a white guy, to white splain to black people what qualifies them as black.

That is now the cool thing to do.

It's okay now for old white guys to go to black people and say, oh, you count as black

and you, you do not.

And insinuate that if you do something that he disagrees with, it's okay to stereotype an entire race of people.

Now, I thought that was racism.

It would be.

Stereotyping by color of skin would be racism, Pat.

Wow.

Would it really?

Now, I am also the type that thinks if you were to eliminate one of the two genders, and I did say, I know, two genders, one of the two genders, if you were to eliminate them, you would be a sexist.

However, when Joe Biden has said he will only select a woman to be his vice presidential candidate, that is not sexist.

Here, I guess they'll try to give us the same spin, that that is somehow not racially insensitive at the very least.

So insulting.

But I mean, this is so typical of what we went back to talking about with Kanye West.

Kanye West went from a brilliant black artist to a white guy when he decided to support Donald Trump.

And that has been the way they have treated him ever since he threw that hat on.

It's true.

And here you see Joe Biden saying the quiet thing out loud.

And you ain't black.

It don't have nothing nothing to do with Trump.

I mean, that is, it's the type of thing that

they all think in the Democratic Party.

They all think it.

All the people at the top, all those, all the white people at the top think black people only count when they agree with us.

And here they are admitting it out loud.

And this is why Joe Biden shouldn't be given any interviews.

They should just hide him.

Because this is what happens.

He's now coming out and admitted the thing that the Democratic Party has been trying to hide for how long?

And here it is in full audio, full video, where he tells black people they are not black unless they vote for him.

Can you believe he would say something like that?

No Republican gets away with that.

No.

No Republican.

By the way, Pat,

and it's Pat and Stu for Glenn Beck today.

He's on vacation, and he's missing out on the trending hashtag.

Right now, hashtag you ain't black.

Oh, wow.

It's trending

across America.

Thanks to Joe Biden.

So great.

Well, you ain't black if you are having a hard time figuring out whether to vote for him or Trump,

what an incredible statement that is.

Incredible.

It's not incredible that they think it.

It's incredible that they say it.

Yeah.

And get away with it.

Well, I don't know.

Will it get away with this?

Probably.

I think the only way he doesn't, right, is if Democrats decide he's going to lose.

Yeah.

If they say, holy crap, this is actually going to continue to keep happening, which it will.

And they realize that this is going to be such a disaster, we're going to lose another one of these elections.

At that point, he becomes very vulnerable.

There's got to be people on his campaign staff that just absolutely

cringe and have like coronary embolisms.

Every time he opens his mouth, there's got to be somebody in that camp saying, wow, we can't let him talk anymore.

Seriously,

you've got to stop him from speaking.

Let's just, like you've said, hide him until November because that's the only way you're going to be able to keep him him from completely screwing this up.

Yeah.

I don't think he's capable anymore of self-editing.

Like there, for instance.

No, he thinks he's in, like, oh, this is a loose conversation among friends, and I can say things like this.

You know, and think of it, think of it from this perspective.

You're someone who is volunteering for the Biden campaign, and you're black, and these issues mean something to you, because they don't mean anything to Joe Biden.

They don't mean anything to the Democratic leadership, but they might mean something to a volunteer who legitimately is like taking these issues seriously.

How can you stand by this?

How can you stand by and support a guy who would come out and tell, let's just say it's 10, 15, 20% of voters that they don't count as black people because they don't vote the way you want them to?

That is a, I mean, it's a despicable statement.

Of course, he's gotten away with this kind of stuff before.

I mean, you got the first

sort of

mainstream freaking American

who is articulate and bright and

clean and nice looking.

I mean, that's a storybook, man.

In Delaware,

the largest growth in population is Indian Americans moving from India.

You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.

I'm not joking.

Show me the Republican that survives any of those statements.

The you ain't black thing.

The Barack Obama is the first sort of clean,

good-looking African-American.

It's a storybook, man.

It just doesn't happen.

You don't see those kinds of people.

It's like, you know, a flying dragon or a clean black person as he's comparing those two things.

Both are just myths or urban legends.

It couldn't happen in the real world.

And then the comment about Indians being at 7-Elevens.

Nobody survives that

in the Republican Party.

Nobody.

And he, so, I mean, and this is something to remember because because I think

a lot of people now have realized that Joe Biden is obviously having trouble communicating, getting through normal thought processes.

We all know that.

But he's always been bad.

Like, he's always been bad at this.

This has always been a major problem for him.

This type of mistake that he's making today has nothing to do with his decreased capacity to

communicate normal English

phrases.

No, this is just Joe being Joe.

Joe being Joe.

This is who he is.

And he's always been this way.

And this is why he's, you know, look, winning a Senate race in Delaware, if you're, you know,

any Democrat could do that.

That's not difficult to do.

Yeah.

The difficult thing is, you know, winning a presidency is much more difficult.

And the fact that he was handed the vice presidency by a guy who, by all reports, says he picked him because he was white and had gray hair.

The Barack Obama Obama reasoning for picking Joe Biden is he wanted someone who would not challenge white voters because he saw them as all racist, typical white people, right?

Yeah.

You know, who were afraid of black people walking down the street.

So he didn't want to challenge any.

He's like, I'm already a reach for so many of these racists.

I can't give them another black person or another person of color.

So he picked him because he was white, picked him because he was a man.

Didn't want to challenge the sexist thing and picked him because he had gray hair.

In other words, he had experience where people saw Obama as maybe not having enough experience.

That is, by all reports, the reason he selected Joe Biden, not because he was the best guy for the job, apparently.

And you see this here.

This is a disaster.

He is a disastrous candidate.

If you ran in that primary and lost to this guy, what does that say about you?

You suck.

You've got to be sitting.

If you're like,

you can maybe be Andrew Yang at home right now and be like, what the hell?

First of all, in that word, all of a sudden both sides seem to be on the side of universal basic income.

I don't know what happened.

Maybe they should have let me talk more in these debates.

But I mean,

you're Amy Klobuchar.

You're Kamala Harris.

You're sitting here.

I lost to this guy.

I lost this guy who's trying to inform us whether we're black or not.

You can't be proud of that.

That's one way to put it, Pat.

You can't be proud of that.

You can't be proud of that.

More Pat and Stew for Glenn.

Coming up on the Glenn Peck program.

During this time of change, we want you to know that ZipRecruiter's focus hasn't changed.

They're still doing what they've always done: helping people find work and helping businesses find the right people for open roles.

If you're looking for a job, ZipRecruiter is working with you to find that right job faster.

They're dedicated to helping you get hired-from caretaking to delivering food and goods to building medical facilities, supplying protective equipment, and so much more.

And if you're actively hiring, ZipRecruiter will invite candidates to apply to your most urgent roles, making it faster and easier to reach the people you need.

So it's more important now, more than ever, to stay connected online.

And by connecting people who need jobs and companies that need people, ZipRecruiter is working with all of us to keep moving forward.

America, we're in this together, so let's get to work together.

ZipRecruiter.com/slash work together.

That's ziprecruiter.com/slash work together.

Yes.

Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.

This is blowing up in the face of Joe Biden right now.

Is it?

I mean,

people can't believe

he said that.

And you ain't black.

Say it one more time.

Can we get it one more time, sir?

Because this is Charlemagne the God talking to Joe Biden today.

And you ain't black.

That's the funny shit.

That's the funny thing.

Yeah, that's it.

If you go, can we hear the whole thing one more time just to give people context here, Sarah?

Again, he's talking, the first voice you'll hear kind of is a Democratic operative, a PR person, who steps in and says, We got to go.

We're out of time.

And Charlemagne's pissed off about that.

And it escalates from there.

We don't get that.

That's really our time.

I apologize.

You can't do that to black media.

I can't do that to white white media and black media because my wife has to go on at six o'clock.

Okay.

Oh, uh-oh, I'm in trouble.

Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden.

I will.

It's a long way until November.

We got more questions.

You got more questions, but I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're from me or Trump and you ain't black,

wow.

Wow.

What a statement.

Yeah.

Now they're trying to say,

that was

in jest.

No.

That was not in jest.

I think they put a question mark at the end of the day.

Do you guys believe this one?

I don't know.

Pretty tough to wiggle out of that.

Yeah.

I don't know what you do.

I don't know how

I don't know how you can survive this guy.

He's so terrible.

Pat and I were just talking about this off the air in one of the breaks where today.

2.4 million people

came out in the report that were unemployed this past week.

2.4 million people.

The total now is 38 million people over nine weeks.

Do I have that right, Pat?

Yeah, 38.6 million.

38.6.

I mean, I'm just throwing it at 600,000 people.

I just not even

38.6 million people in nine weeks.

In any normal situation, regardless of their fault in

the way the thing was handled, any president who had to deal with 38.6 million people people going unemployed in nine weeks, despite the situation, is going to face a really tough battle

to get themselves reelected.

It's just fact.

And it's like one of those things where

people associate their circumstances with the president.

And I think this is a negative development that's happened in relatively recent American history where we have put the president on such a high pedestal, and we talk about them so often, that we almost see them as like the symbol of the country.

And when we feel like the country is going in the wrong direction, George H.W.

Bush faced this in 1992, where, yeah, they're in a minor recession, but people were bummed about it and he loses, you know, a few months after a 90% approval rating.

Those things are real.

People associate their feeling,

you know, with who they vote for.

If they're happy, they want this to continue.

Ronald Reagan saw that.

When they got sad with Bush, they were like, oh, let's change change and go some other direction.

That's typically the way these things are handled.

There are some circumstances where that's not the case.

Usually war is the reason for that.

When you get into a situation where you're at war,

you might stick with the guy because you see him as a steady hand.

And it's very possible that a lot of Americans kind of do see this as a war, right?

The COVID situation.

And obviously the virus isn't Trump's fault.

And you can talk about the way people handle it.

And there will be things being picked apart.

But it's going to be a tough battle to get re-elected in an environment if we're at an an unemployment rate of, say, 12%.

Like it's going to go up, we know for sure next month, maybe it comes back a little bit, but you're at 11, 12% unemployment.

It's going to be hard to win a reelection.

And then every time you come down with that analysis, and I've done it in my head many times, how can you win in this environment, fair or not?

Then I look at Joe Biden, and that's how you win.

Yes.

You face Joe Biden.

The polling, we went over some of the polling earlier.

Right now, Biden, because he's not been in the media and not been seen, has large leads in these polls.

In swing states, swing states.

He's up by quite a bit, too.

He's like 8 to 11 points.

Yeah.

Arizona, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Just a little quick glance at that.

Trump would basically need to win all those states.

He might be able to lose one of them.

I don't have the Electoral College built up in front of me.

But I mean, he won those states last time, and it was a very close election.

Maybe he could afford to lose one of them.

but he is down by all, in every single one of the states,

by at least, I think, five.

No, and no, North Carolina is closer to that.

I think it's two.

Okay, but the point is,

you could look at Biden on paper and say, well, he should win, right?

Like, we're in a tough time with the economy.

Obviously, we're in the middle of this pandemic.

God forbid, there's a second wave of this.

Who knows what would happen?

Yeah.

But he is so terrible and so obviously incapable of normal human interaction that I don't know that anyone can vote for the guy.

I don't see how you could look at me with a straight face and say that guy should be president of the United States.

You can't, you can't.

And then you couple that with the Tara Reid situation, which they apparently have just discounted.

They've just thrown that away.

They just, I mean, believe all women is completely gone right out the window.

And this particular woman, they've just decided.

Did you see that hit piece on her in the Politico this week?

Oh, my gosh.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

This is what happens.

That they're just doing the bidding of the Joe Biden campaign and they just took her apart, calling her deceitful, manipulative.

They might as well have called her evil.

Yeah.

They basically found every enemy she's ever had in her life and interviewed them and just put it on the record.

Yeah.

And basically what it was was she has a hard time paying some bills.

That, I mean, that's, but they blew that up into a federal offense.

Really amazing stuff.

All right.

Triple eight seven two seven B E C K is a phone number.

It's Pat with Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I really love spending time with my family, but here at the old Beck compound, it's getting a little rank.

You know what I'm saying?

Getting to the point to where we're like, hey, stilled you again, huh?

If you're in a similar situation, you can empathize.

I can empathize with you.

Too much time indoors is not healthy.

But let me tell you about something I've discovered that helped calm the water some, and it's RekTech Grills.

Rafe and I are out on the back porch with the RekTech Grill, and I'm telling you, cooking for the family, it is so easy and so good when you're actually spending enjoyable quality time together with a great rack of ribs.

Oh my gosh.

We're cooking now on RekTech Grill.

It is the champion of smart grills.

Smart, sturdy.

Things are built like a tank.

This is the quality grill.

Do your own homework.

People in the know choose RekTech.

RekTech far and away, the best bang for your buck.

Far and away, RekTech Grills.

Built by grillers for grillers.

You're a daily antidote to the socialism virus.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Join the conversation.

888-727-BEC.

Patton Stewart, Glenn on the Glenn Beck program,

888-727-B-E-C-K.

Let me ask you this.

If there's a second wave, you know, we've got all these states, most states now are at least starting to relax restrictions and starting to get back to business as usual and reopening certain businesses that haven't been opened in two months.

If there is, if and when there is a second wave of this virus, first of all, will the governments, the various state and local governments, along with maybe even the federal government, try to shut things down again?

And if they do, will Americans go along with it?

Because

I don't think Americans will.

I think we're done with it at this point.

We gave him this one chance, right?

Yes.

And look, the way it was pitched was

we need to get prepared.

And I think that's why.

We flatten the curve.

Flatten the curve, right?

You can make the argument that that is,

I don't like the exact way everything went, clearly.

And there's obviously been flares into the ridiculous with the Michigan governor and Kentucky governors and

all this nonsense of people being arrested for opening their businesses and all that crap.

But I mean, generally speaking, if you look at what Trump basically recommended, which was six weeks of mainly staying at home unless you had to go out,

trying to avoid contact,

probably did help the situation, right?

I mean, as far as the virus goes, I mean, it definitely helped the situation in my view

and definitely hurt the economy in a massive, massive way.

It was a very expensive way to buy time.

The sad thing about this is if the CDC came through with their test, I don't think any of that happens.

If the testing thing worked initially, and this is not a Trump situation, this is a CDC situation.

They tried to come up with their own test and it didn't work.

If we had hundreds of thousands of tests at the beginning of March, I think we closed down New York and we probably closed down Detroit or New Orleans, but we do not have a nationwide shutdown.

They had no idea where this thing was.

And if you think about it from the perspective of, holy crap, we don't know what we're facing, you can make the argument that the shutdown was appropriate for some time.

But we now have had that time.

We now know more about the virus.

We now have the PPE.

We now have all the ventilators.

We now know know who's most affected.

We know so much more now.

We have been able to prepare.

We have been able to move our level of knowledge forward.

I

don't think the American people would be

would be okay with that in any way.

With the one exception of it got horrifically awful.

If every city in the Americas turns into New York City, then yes, people will be begging to stay home.

But outside of that,

I don't think.

Yeah, if it's a normal situation like we just went through,

I don't think Americans will go along with another shutdown.

And we've got situations like

more than 600 doctors across the country just signed a letter this week urging President Trump to end the lockdowns.

We're told all the time, well, you guys are anti-science.

We've got to deliver.

Well,

here are people who are in this field saying, look, this is not good for us.

They said they described the widespread lockdown orders as a, quote, mass casualty incident, unquote, and they warned of exponentially growing health consequences if it continues.

The letter, in this letter, the doctors described several of the unintended negative consequences of the shutdown, including patients missing checkups with their doctors that could detect cancer and other serious conditions, an increase in alcohol and substance abuse, financial instability leading to poverty, poor health, you know, starvation, potentially.

They said millions of Americans are already in critical condition.

These include 150,000 Americans per month who would have had new cancer detected through routine screenings that has not happened.

Millions who have missed routine dental care to fix problems strongly linked to heart disease and death and preventable cases of stroke, stroke, heart attack, child abuse, suicide hotline phone calls have increased 600%.

All of those are the unintended consequences of a lockdown.

Yeah, and I can't, you know,

you can make the argument, right, that

you take extreme steps in these situations.

And I, you know, look, we saw what happened when we, you know, when everyone was going about their business,

you know, at the beginning.

We did it in late February, early March was an example of that.

It was not pretty.

However, on the other side of that,

I think of it this way.

Like,

there's never a reason for you to find a room in your house and lock yourself in it with no windows

and no access to the outside for multiple hours at a time, right?

That's not something you would do.

However, that is what a panic room is, right?

So if someone's breaking into your house in that moment, maybe it makes sense to do something.

The thing about a panic room, though, is it is not a long-term life solution yeah you're not staying there for eight weeks right it doesn't it's not what you do with a panic room it's a short-term solution so let's just say uh that you know we're already past this anyway we're past the point where the this decision can be redone we didn't have the testing all of this is already real and has already occurred so where do we go from here I don't know about you, Pat, and I wonder if you feel the same way.

I watch this debate and I watch pundits going back and forth about,

you know, shut it down, open it up.

It's, it's harder and harder to relate to living in Texas.

You know, I honestly, like, my day-to-day life right now, and I know this is going to piss people off because they're like, screw you.

I'm in the, I haven't left my house in seven weeks.

Right.

My day-to-day life in Texas, I know this is different than the rest of the country, is not all that different.

Yeah.

Right.

At this point, now it was several weeks ago in the middle of the real lockdown, but we've now opened up restaurants to 50% as of today.

They've opened up, you know, the only thing we're missing now are large gatherings, which is an occasional thing for us, like, you know, for everybody, right?

Like, you know, I'm not going to a concert every weekend, you know, but I haven't been to a concert in a long time.

Or a baseball game.

Or a baseball game or whatever.

And I definitely miss watching sports on TV, but you know, I'm not going every week to a game.

Bars were closed.

You know, I'm too old to, you know, I'm 44 now.

So it's like, you know, like I'm at bars all the time.

But like, you know, some people would have that, right?

They're opening up as of today.

They opened up at midnight last night, which I thought was hilarious.

Like people are so desperate to get into bars.

They're opening up at midnight last night.

So those are open now here.

There's a lot of things going on.

Like, you know, there's things like kids camps are starting to open here now for the summer.

You know, but like, yeah, there's

things like trampoline parks for your kids that are not open.

There's definitely, you know, big amusement parks and those types of things.

I'm not saying it's not different, but listening to this idea that the debate is open the economy or close the economy is now foreign to most people in Texas.

The economic ramifications are there.

There's still plenty of people with the virus and there's still people dying every day in Texas as well.

But the effect on us is now

much different than it is if you live in New York, if you live in

California, if you live in Washington, D.C.

And the reason I mention those three specifically, it's where all your media debate is coming from.

You know, it is totally different than a huge chunk of people who live in the middle of the country, who live in the South, who don't live in, and I won't even say all of California, particularly Los Angeles County, where they've been very restrictive.

You know, the reason why people praise Cuomo all the time is he's their guy.

He's talking about their neighborhoods.

He's talking about all of the restrictions they're dealing with in the media.

It's not like that in other areas.

People live in Florida.

They're going to the beaches.

They're going out and they're going probably to restaurants and they're starting to open up.

It's still weird.

There's people with masks on.

You know, like the restaurants never packed.

They can only go up to 50% capacity here, 25% for bars.

And I know these rules are spaced everything out.

Yeah.

But they spaced everything out.

It's different.

It's still odd.

But like, you're able to go go and do many of the things you would do in normal life.

You know, that is something that

we're blessed

with the spirit of Texas here.

And I think, you know, many other states have felt similar things.

But

these people, we're now at the point where this is not a conversation about open the economy or close the economy.

It's a conversation about overreach.

You know, if we have another flare-up now, things have been mishandled and we'll have to adjust policy.

But we've taken this time to supposedly prepare for exactly that.

We now have testing that when we see a flare-up, if Dallas or Houston or El Paso turn into a major hot zone, we're going to know about it quickly and we need to act to try to contain that.

But that does not mean Cheyenne, Wyoming closes down for business.

That's nuts.

Right.

And it is no, it makes no sense for that to have to happen again.

And just to give you kind of an idea to back that up, you know how many deaths they've had

in Wyoming since you mentioned Wyoming?

Not a lot.

It took a while for their first one.

12.

12.

Not 1,200.

12.

I mean, think of how frustrating that must be.

Completely frustrating.

Because there was never a time where closing Wyoming made sense.

No.

Never a time.

There was a time where closing New York made sense.

There's a time, and that might still be today.

There was a time where maybe even closing Florida, you can make an argument for it, where it looked like there might be an issue in Miami for a while,

you know, New Orleans, maybe Louisiana.

You know, you could make these arguments.

There was never a time that it made sense to close South Dakota, to close

Wyoming, to close Idaho, to close Nebraska, to close Iowa.

There were flare-ups.

There were serious situations.

I think a lot of times we get into this argument of whether is this the worst thing that's that's ever happened or absolutely nothing.

And it's neither of those two things.

You know, it is serious.

It was serious.

It's killed a lot of freaking people and it's been devastating to people.

Number one, it's not just killing them.

There are a lot of people who are going through it, even young people surviving and eight, ten, twelve weeks later are unable to do any physical activity without being short of breath.

There's some lasting

serious, weird crap going on with this.

Yeah.

And, you know, there's a million stories of family members who never get to see their person who goes into the hospital with it whether they're not sure if it's a cold or what they get a test and they never get to see them again because they can't go into the same room with them i mean it's crushing a lot of the stuff is really bad and i don't want to underplay it it's it's it's not something to be underplayed i don't think but on the other side of that

even the original um Imperial College study, the one that said if we do nothing, we'll, you know, we'll have two million people dead.

Even that study, which everyone has recognized, you know, we're not going to get two million people.

Of course, we did take action, so it's hard to put that exactly on the same scale.

But even that study that has been largely thrown away by most people as too alarmist, in that study, it specifically says the United States of America should deal with this on a state-by-state basis for the most efficient policy and not do a blanket overall national policy.

Even that study said that

It is blatantly obvious that you should not treat Manhattan the same way as Wyoming.

Everyone on earth recognizes this.

And I think we're finally at the point where now the states are able to do that.

They are opening up.

Texas is no longer treated

like Manhattan was.

And you can feel it.

You can feel the difference.

And as long as I think people are smart and don't, you know, don't, let's, let's not, let's not not have any sneeze parties.

I know a lot of people used to love doing that.

Go around, let's everybody get in a circle and start sneezing at each other.

It's a lot of fun.

You know, this is a great time.

Love it.

If we can just skip that type of stuff, we should be able to come out of this.

All right.

ZipRecruiter.com/slash work together.

That's ziprecruiter.com/slash work together.

It's Pat and Stuford Glenn Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

And I'll tell you another thing that pisses me off.

This Aunt Becky situation where she's going to prison for two months and her husband's going for five.

So, why?

That seems a little sexist.

She gets two months and a hundred and fifty thousand dollar fine.

Her husband, who is not Uncle Jesse, she dumped him somewhere along the way, and I think that's the real crime here.

But her husband, Massimo, or whatever his name is, Giannouli, he gets five months in jail and a $250,000 fine.

I don't know what's going on there, but why are either one of them spending one second in jail over this thing?

This is the dumbest continuing controversy, I think.

I am totally

totally with you on this.

I'm sorry.

And there's not a lot of people who are.

Right, I know.

Why?

A lot of people are pissed off.

Well, that's unfair to other people.

No, it's not.

Why?

No, it's not.

What is it?

There's no difference.

The USC is not like, well, we only have 22,000 people, and we would have 22,001 if we let this other person in and Becky's kids.

That's not going to happen.

That doesn't happen.

That's not real.

It's just a BS argument for people to say, well, I don't like what she did, which is fine.

I think it's a dumb parenting move because coddling your kid into a better college than they could get into normally, or getting on a team that they wouldn't necessarily achieve on their own.

It's not a good thing.

It doesn't help your kid.

It's not a good example to set for them.

But that is not a crime.

No.

That is not a crime.

Whatever law they've busted her on should be removed from existence if there even is one.

If they're even trying to tie it to a crime.

The fact that you want to pay more to attend a university, I got news for you.

When you want better tickets at a concert, you pay more.

When you want to have your kid in the college, and this has been constant, you buy a building or you make some large donation.

Guess what?

Your kid gets into college.

But the fact that she paid directly to get her kid into college is some crime.

It may be distasteful to you.

It is not a crime.

It's insanity that she's going to prison over it.

She should not only not go to prison, not spend one cent in fines.

Absolutely.

Not one.

That's right.

You want to get her.

She should have been told, hey, that wasn't very nice.

Yeah.

And we should have moved on.

You might want to fire someone who works at UFC or Arizona State over it.

Fine.

You might not like it in your college.

You might want to get rid of the person who engaged in it.

Right.

Okay, fine.

But jail time and losing your career forever?

No.

Come stupid.

Come on.

Shouldn't have happened, and it's ridiculous to us.

Hey, you know, everyone's talking about Karen with the COVID thing.

What is this?

This is every Karen getting upset that Lori Laughlin got her kid into a college that isn't Arizona State.

Are we good?

It's not Harvard, guys.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
