Hello America.
It's Friday and I am thrilled to be here with you today.
We are going to start this program with some really, really good news.
We do that in one minute.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Friends, um
Friends, we've got some good news we're going to share with you, but first let me tell you about Rec RecTech Grills.
I live in Texas and around here, the first two questions out of anybody's mouth when you talk to them is, how many guns do you own?
And what kind of grill do you use to kick up the things that, you know, you shoot with your guns?
What do you, how do you smoke those critters?
Well, if you're like me, the whole master griller thing has never been my bag.
But,
you know,
now it is.
I mean, I've never been interested really to smoke meats or, you know, grill a lot or anything else because I suck at it.
But not now.
Not with a rectec grill built by grillers for grillers and people like me.
You will turn into a grilling addict.
It is so easy.
You can put your, you, remember when we used to go to church on Sundays?
Well, you could get up in the morning and put your meat there ready to be smoked.
but let's say you're here in the heavenly hosts
while you're there and you can't start the smoker.
Well, you just reach down to your cell phone and press start
while you're there in the pew.
And when you come home, there is no pew.
It is yum, yum smelling.
It is
a smoked meat to perfection.
And it is so simple.
And
this thing is built like a tank.
RekTech Grills.
R-E-C-T-E-C grills with an S dot com.
RekTechgrills.com.
Check them out now.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, we got the gospel choir back.
Oh, yeah, yes.
This one we're going to lift up.
This one, sincerely
praise the Lord.
What a great audience this audience is.
What a giving group of people you are.
Yesterday,
yesterday,
I had
the state rep, remember the woman who was from Detroit?
She had all kinds of problems in her family with coronavirus, couldn't get into a hospital.
Detroit is just in full-fledged meltdown.
And she goes in to the hospital and she
happens to hear, she's a Democrat, she happens to hear Donald Trump talk about hydroxychloroquine.
So she asks the doctor if she can get it.
It's a nightmare because she's in Michigan with that governor.
And
she finally gets the hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine.
It cures her.
She credits Donald Trump.
Well, nobody's doing that.
She's been raked over the coals.
She's not real popular with the Democrats right now, but she doesn't care.
She's like, when did saying thank you become political?
So she goes and she's on our program and she talks about how bad things are in Detroit.
Then she flies out to meet with the president.
The president and vice president meet with her.
She was on yesterday and she just just told this amazing story about how everything happened at the White House.
And she is, I've never heard somebody,
a politician, she's not a politician, but I've never heard a politician that so deeply cared about her community.
Listen to what happened yesterday on the show.
I want you to know that after we spoke on Monday, I reached out to my charity, Mercury One, and I said, we have got to help the people of Detroit.
And so we will
work with your office.
If you will take a call from my charity, we will work with your office.
I don't care if we have to, you know, send truckloads of food up to you or if you need PPEs or whatever you need, we will help you.
This audience is one of the greatest groups of people ever.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, thank you.
Oh, my God, Glenn, thank you.
We're all in this together, Karen.
Glenn,
from the bottom of my heart, from the people in the city of Detroit,
I thank you so,
so very much.
You tell us what we need to do, and we will do it.
And if you need people that are there, I can guarantee you that we can send volunteers up there that will deliver whatever needs to be delivered.
You tell us what you need, and we will do it as a community.
I need,
you know,
for my mothers and my fathers that are at home with their kids in these charter schools that have fallen through the cracks that don't fall under the Detroit public school system.
They have no iPads.
They have no means of trying to do their homework, and they're trying to do it on a single phone.
They don't have, even toaster ovens would be a benefit.
Even the cheapest, smallest toaster ovens would be a benefit.
Trying to get cleaning supplies for our jails and for our prisons and testing kits.
Partnering up with Mark Campbell
that I was with yesterday, partnering up with him because he does have the testing.
He can do the test.
If we can get
more testing kits, if we can test, if we can get thermometers, if we can help the Wayne County Sheriffs, if we can help our Detroit police officers and our first responders, we had over 1,600 nurses walk out and staff walk out of hospitals and more than one hospital, even Sinai Grace Hospital.
I mean,
I have a laundry list.
Well, right now, what you've offered is a lifeline.
She is
remarkable.
And anybody who is listening to that interview,
I challenge you
to have not teared up yesterday.
It was, I mean, Pat was in tears.
I was in tears.
Because she was so passionate beforehand.
was talking about, we're talking about people in Detroit without stoves.
They don't have stoves, let alone internet.
And those with internet,
they don't have
computers and everything else.
This is the worst of the worst of Detroit,
as far as poverty goes.
They don't have electricity.
They don't have a way to go pick up the food.
So I put the plea out yesterday and I called Mercury One and
your response has been remarkable.
As of last night,
in 10 and $25 increments,
you have sent in a quarter of a million dollars.
100% of that money will go to Detroit now.
100% of anything that you say, because you can earmarket coronavirus anywhere.
You could say coronavirus Detroit, and that money will go to help detroit 100 of that money so let me tell you what we've done so far right now within the sound of my voice there is a truck driver who's listening to us well at least i hope he's listening to us and he is in a semi truck with 170 000 meals that are on the way to the good people of detroit we have included water we could only find yesterday 30 toaster ovens i don't know why but we have 30 toaster ovens going up.
We have sanitizer going up, and we are planning on sending much more next week.
We are hoping to send PPEs, but we can't find them yet.
But we have her list of things that they need, and meals were one of the big ones.
And so we got that onto a truck right away and is on its way to Detroit right now.
I can't thank you enough.
This audience never,
ever lets anyone down.
I've never, I've done this for over 40 years.
Pat, you've been with me for what, 30 of them?
I have
never seen an audience like this one ever.
Anyone's audience, anyone's audience.
And I can't thank you enough.
I know times are tight, but we have
We have these meal trucks going
several places now.
We are trying to deliver food.
We're helping the volunteers.
We've got partners all over the country that are in dire need.
And you have not let us down or them down.
Thank you so much.
One of the other things that we are doing, unrelated to Dallas, I'm sorry, to Detroit,
is
we are
working with abuse shelters
because the
abuse,
let me
give you this from the UN.
The UN warrants coronavirus lockdowns could kill hundreds of thousands of children.
Hundreds of thousands of children this year could die because of the global economic downturn brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, and tens of millions could fall into extreme poverty.
Extreme hardship is now being experienced by families as a result of the global economic downturn.
Now,
that is for, those deaths are for several reasons, but people are not talking about the economic consequences of abuse.
When you, can you imagine you're trapped in your home?
Hopefully you're in a good place, but could you even imagine being trapped at home with a child abuser?
Can you imagine being trapped at home as a wife or a spouse of an abuser?
And they're there all the time.
I know how edgy I've gotten or my wife has gotten, you know, just because the house is just, you know, it's hard to be together all of the time and not go anywhere.
Imagine
what it's like in those alcoholic homes.
or those abusive homes.
So we are really, really trying to focus, and we'll have more details on those things.
But you can also help us with abuse.
We are in this together, and we have to start thinking that way.
If you just listened to yesterday's show with Harry Dent,
how'd you sleep last night, Pat?
After that,
yeah, that was chilling.
It was chilling.
He is
an economic forecaster,
and he's the guy who we had on about four months ago, and he predicted that in March, the United States and the world would go into a global depression.
Pretty amazing.
Didn't know about coronavirus, just said this is, you know, because of all of the bank bailouts that they were doing that we told you about in the fall.
We told you this is very, very unhealthy.
Something's going on.
He predicted that it would come apart in March, and lo and behold, because of coronavirus, it did.
And we are facing a very long recovery.
He makes you sound like Mary Poppins.
So
I might tell you a little something.
Yeah, there's no spoonful of sugar with him.
He's like,
we're all going to die.
We're all going to die.
All right.
So, anyway, thank you so much for helping us out with Mercury One.
Our job has just begun.
Please become a monthly member of Mercury One.
It is, it is
one of the better things that you can do.
And if it's not this charity, pick another one.
It doesn't matter.
I don't care.
I just want you to find, you know, somebody told me, I had a bishop once, and he was,
he was at one point the head of Goldman Sachs.
And he said,
I said, I don't know how to be charitable.
This is early on in my career.
And I said, I don't know how.
I didn't grow up in a house with money and we didn't tithe or anything else.
I said, I don't know how to be charitable.
You know, I want to be really responsible.
And he said,
well, I know this is very Wall Street of me, but I look at charity as an investment in people.
So you have to decide what is
What is the cause that you care about.
And remember, you should care about the entire human condition.
And he said, then you look for those charities that deliver the biggest bang for the buck.
So look at how much of that money is actually going to the person you're trying to help.
And that's why we started Mercury One, where we do fundraisers to pay for all of the offices and everything else.
We do fundraisers every year.
And, you know, we do a big dinner and everything else, and that pays everybody's salary.
When you donate and you earmark your money for coronavirus or Detroit, 100%,
100% goes to that cause.
So please join us now, mercury1.org.
There are lots of things to be done and you can help.
Just become a monthly donor.
10 bucks a month makes all the difference in the world.
All right, we've got to talk a little bit more about Facebook.
We also have Trey Hollingsworth on.
He is a congressman who is in a lot of trouble now because he dared to say that we should look at the economy and the effects on the economy and what that's going to do to us.
Oh, of course, you cannot say that.
Even though that's exactly what the UN is now saying, you can't say that.
God forbid.
He's on, Bill O'Reilly is on, and so much more.
All on today's program.
Now that I got my some money, I'm gonna I got that COVID money and thinking now about buying me some tigers.
Yeah
If you're shopping for anything besides tigers, may I recommend an app that you might not have heard of?
It's called honey
basically, it is free money.
Remember the oh remember the days of yore when we all used to go to a physical store and the smart ones among us would carry around those circulars with the coupons in them and save a buttload of money money at the cash register.
I can remember my mother and my grandmother sitting clipping coupons every Sunday.
Well, honey is like that without having to clip any coupons or carry anything around.
While you're shopping, it's seeking the best deals and product specials.
So when you go to your cart at purchase, it automatically applies them at purchasing and cha-ching, you save money.
The best part about it, it is totally free.
All of your information is confidential.
They keep all of it.
They don't sell it to any third party or anything else.
It's honey.
Join honey.com/slash beck.
Do it now.
It's free.
My wife uses this a lot.
I think Pat's wife uses it.
I know Stu's wife uses it all the time.

10 seconds, station ID.
Sarah, do we have...
I don't know about you, but I am all a tingle because today,
on the Friday exclusive, only for Blaze subscribers, today, a very special show.
Billy Crystal, I hear, is joining us.
I don't have that confirmed, but
I hear we are really close to getting Billy Crystal to do a little opening opening number for us.
Today, we announce the nominees
for the coveted Corona Dictator Award, the Chairman Mao Corona Dictator Award.
We are so very excited.
In fact, we have...
Can I give a little
sneak peek here?
Boy, we are, I mean, we are all just so ready to go.
I'm going to be putting on my tux today to be able to announce all of these things tonight on the Friday exclusive.
We are looking at the best arrest by an ensemble.
And that's going to be, that one's a hard one.
I mean, you know, one of the nominees, well, I can't announce the nominees, but let's just say, I mean, there's been takedowns by police on buses.
There have been a takedown of a dad just throwing a ball in Colorado.
There's some great things.
Also, best achievement in mayoral power tripping.
That one was hard to narrow that down.
Best use of police resources.
Best use of Orwellian technology also.
Best achievement in criminal takedown
for the state.
Best gubernatorial beatdowns, which are so, I mean, that was.
All these awards are going to be announced next week, and the winner will get
the Chairman Mao statue, which
is highly coveted.
Highly coveted.
By the way, we were looking for these statues
online.
Does anybody else find it ironic that you can buy a Chairman Mao statue for $1,500?
What?
I mean, teenagers.
He's a communist.
$1,500.
Not this one.
Oh, this one.
All right.
Yeah, no,
this one I picked up in San Francisco for like $20.
But
$1,500.
I mean, that's like Che.
You know, I mean,
his image makes so much money for somebody.
Yeah.
Anybody got a problem with that?
I mean, he's a communist for the love of
Pete.
Well, his image hung on a decoration on a White House Christmas tree at one point.
It did.
It did.
And, you know, I was so disappointed to see that Donald Trump didn't pull that decoration out and I know and use it.
But yeah, gosh, racism.
Darn it.
That's all it is.
It's racism.
That's all it is.
Racism.
Yep.
Yep.
All right.
We've got a big show for you coming up.
We have to tell you a little bit more about Facebook and what they're doing now.
And this is something really, really,
really
dangerous.
Really dangerous.
Also, I have the history of
hydroxychloroquine.
Hydroxychloroquine, everybody's treating this like it's a brand new drug.
When you know the history of this drug, it's going to blow your mind.
Blow your mind.
We'll do that.
Also, we have Congressman Hollingsworth with us next.
American Financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Hey, you're going to, this is going to really piss you off.
Do you know that the interest rates have already gone up?
If you, last week, if you applied for a loan, it was like 2.8%, something like that.
Now it's in the threes again?
Why?
They're getting all their money for free at these banks?
Oh, because the demand is up.
Oh,
so they can gouge us.
Oh, okay.
I just learned this from somebody who has been trying to get a loan, finally got one from American Financing, and he said,
why are all these banks coming back with higher interest rates?
And they told him, I mean, it's just enough to make your eyes bleed.
Anyway, American Financing is going to find the best rate and going to help you refi or finish a mortgage, whatever it is you need to do.
American Financing, these guys are on your side.
They are not part of the big banks.

Call them now.
You need a loan?
Call them.

Tired of always arguing with socialists.
Save Save yourself some time.
Arm yourself with facts and just get them.
Glenn's new book, Arguing Socialists, right now.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Oh,
prepare yourself because a hate monger is about to grace us with his presence.
This guy, oh my gosh.
He actually wants to see all Americans have the opportunity to succeed and direct the future of their families free from government interference.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
He is committed to returning our government to one that is by the people and for the people.
What a round.
Oh, this guy's crazy.
Oh, man.
He also is for term limits and reinvigorating the economy and enabling businesses to get started, you know, in your garage.
Oh, man.
Okay, Mr.
1910.
His name is Congressman Trey Hollingsworth.
He's from Indiana.
Not a popular guy in the hallowed halls of the Ivory Towers of the Press in New York and Washington, but more and more popular with people like me and Pat Pat and probably you.
Congressman Hollingsworth, welcome to the program.
How are you?
I'm terrific.
Great Friday to you guys.
Yeah, great Friday.
So, Trey,
if you will,
the thing that got you in trouble is saying letting more Americans die of coronavirus is the lesser of two evils compared to the economy tanking.
How could you possibly say that?
Well, you should clarify.
It got me in trouble with those liberal elites in Washington, D.C., those liberal elites in New York, those liberal elites in San Francisco.
But
there's anyone else that matters?
Right.
Right.
Across the heartland, what I heard from people was finally somebody stood up and spoke the truth and said there's real cost to this economic shutdown.
22 million Americans out of work.
Small businesses shut down.
Religious freedom all but ended.
There are real costs, and we need to stand up and start counting those costs alongside the biological costs of coronavirus and weigh those two judiciously, not just think about the coronavirus losses.
So I had a class with my daughter yesterday and I was teaching her some history and everything else and I talked to her about
the head and the heart.
And when
things get out of whack, it's when you're all head or all heart.
You have to balance the two.
And we used you as the example.
There is a real real cost to this coronavirus
and we want to make sure that we help as many people as we can.
But in the process, we don't want to hurt more people.
You have to balance the head and the heart.
And it doesn't seem like anyone is willing to do that now.
You're exactly right.
And that's why it's so important that we, the people, stand up and start demanding that of our elected officials.
This is what I said.
And this is what I stand behind.
This is our way of life that's at stake.
Our religious freedom, our ability to create opportunity for our families, our ability to put food on the table for our families, our ability to go out and travel freely.
We have to weigh the loss of our way of life against the loss of American lives.
And that is not an easy thing to do.
It should not be taken lightly, but this is what we elect officials to do.
And by gosh, I hope that we start doing it and having those conversations with the American people.
Trey, I will tell you, I got in trouble trouble about four weeks ago because I said, look,
I'm 56, so I'm beginning to hit the target zone.
But if it meant saving the American dream of not, you know, a car and a house, but the American dream of being able to chart your own course, I would gladly sacrifice myself for my children.
And the press just doesn't get it.
This is
every time freedom is in peril,
it requires a sacrifice.
And I believe that Americans, for the most part, would be willing to sacrifice if they understood the, this is it.
This is the difference between survival of the idea of America or its death.
You put it exactly right.
And this is where we are.
And these are the decisions we have to make.
And I know, I understand that this is an unpleasant reality, but it is reality.
And this is something that's guided us through wars, famines, crises, and previous pandemics.
This principle of preservation of the American way of life, of an understanding that there will be sacrifices, there will be burdens, there will be challenges, but we will get America, the American way of life, American freedoms and our values through those by the sacrifice, by the bearing the burdens that must be borne.
And I continue to believe that Americans are up to that challenge.
I continue to believe that we will beat coronavirus, but it is not going to be a shutout.
Trey,
where are the other members of, say, the Freedom Caucus?
Why are we hearing so little?
I mean, I was really heartened to hear you speak up, but is there a cavalry on the way?
Is anybody riding to the rescue here to stand up with you and say, yeah, we need to consider the U.S.
Constitution, our freedom, our economy as well?
I hope so.
I hope that more and more members will stand up.
Look, the reality is we've got too many members in Congress, right, that look around to see, am I in the group?
Are a lot of other people going to stand up and speak with me?
I don't want to be different than everybody else.
I don't want to take a real stand because that might imperil my future elections, which is why I'm a believer in term limits.
I don't care about that.
I care about doing the right things for Hoosiers.
I care about doing the right things for Americans and the right thing for America.
And that is the only question that should matter, especially in a moment of crisis, in a moment of challenge.
We should wake up every morning as elected officials and say, what are we doing to better the future of America today?
And it's not whether we've got a lot of people with us.
It's not whether everybody's going to say the same thing.
It's not whether the liberal media is going to come down on our heads.
What should matter is only whether it is right and it is accurate and it benefits the American people.
You know, I had Jim Jordan on yesterday, and I suggested to him that all of you guys in the GOP,
excuse the expression, get your ass to Washington and stand there in those hallways and say, we are here because we think Congress is an essential job.
Doing the work of a Congress is essential, especially at this time.
Because I'm telling you, Nancy Pelosi, and you know this, is ginning these things up, keeping people away when you guys should be burning the midnight oil and making sure this crap stops.
I couldn't agree more.
Congress is the body that signs on the dotted line to send young men and young women abroad, knowing some of them will not come back.
That is our sworn constitutional duty.
But we have been told that we can't go to Washington to do the work of the American people, even though there are risks.
We should be doing that work because the American people should expect leaders with some courage, some courage to stand up and do the right thing, some courage to stand up and say the right thing, some courage to push back against the fear-mongering and have an adult conversation with the American people about the pathway back to their lives, a pathway back to their freedoms, a pathway back to their opportunities, a pathway back to a future that they can believe in.
I tell you, Trey, and I haven't felt this way.
I remember saying this to,
I don't remember who, a long, long time ago.
I think Joe Lieberman, I think it was that long ago.
And I said, Joe, do you guys in Congress have any idea what's headed your way?
And
he said, yeah, I think so, but I don't think he did.
I don't think anybody did.
But
I could see over the horizon the beginnings of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street and all of that stuff.
I'm telling you, what's coming your way is worse.
When people see that $9 million went to Harvard and only half of that was required to
help the students get in,
a group with what $40 billion?
Why are we giving money to Harvard?
Why are these banks allowed to raise the interest rate because of demand when they're getting that money from us?
And they're making money off of it.
We can't get it.
I mean,
once again, the American worker, the American entrepreneur is being left in the dust with just some crumbs from the table after these big banks have been bailed out.
It's sick.
And you guys have got to stand up and listen to the
people I know you serve in Indiana.
Forget about the people in New York.
You know, all the
soothsayers and the ivory tower wannabes.
You've got to listen to Main Street.
That's exactly right.
And, Glenn, honestly, the truth is we shouldn't be afraid of the American people coming to take their government back.
That's what I want.
That's what we should want to see.
The American people should stand up and say, you know, the way Washington's been the last 30, 40 years, that hasn't worked out for us, the American people.
That hasn't worked out for the American future.
We have got to incite people to come back and take their government back.
I want more people to take their government back because the source of strength in this country for the last 240 years is not 535 members of Congress, yay, who's up in D.C.
The source of strength for this country is American families getting up every day and building a better future for themselves.
And then we all live better lives because of their hard work, because of their effort, because of their ingenuity, because of their resolve in the face of danger and in the face of challenges.
And that is what I want more of in Washington.
That's why we need tourism.
It's why we need Lawrence.
You will you
if
the American people will rise up the American people will
demand if they think that there is somebody there who's at least guarding the treasury who's at least standing guard and will fight.
So many Americans don't feel they know who the Democrats are.
They're socialists now.
They're being run by socialists.
And the Republicans are spineless, big government jellyfish.
We need somebody to stand up and say, I mean, you guys should be on guard right now.
This is the biggest transfer of wealth.
This is the biggest robbery in the history of the world.
And where's Congress?
Where's Congress?
You are exactly right.
People don't have an understanding of what $1 trillion really is.
If you burned a dollar every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, it would take you 30,000 years to burn a trillion dollars.
These are huge sums of money, and they're rammed through without regard.
And frankly, an insult to the American people that have to work so hard to send that money to the U.S.
Treasury.
We owe them better.
We owe them genuine debate.
We owe them
getting their input.
We owe them the opportunity to say, these are my values.
These are the things that matter to me.
These are the things I want to see money spent on.
And that is blatantly disregarded over and over again in D.C.
It couldn't be more frustrating to me, but it couldn't be more frustrating to Americans from Sea to Shining Sea that see it every single day.
The federal government and
the state governments told us we had to close our business.
Those businesses that were right on the edge had to close.
They knew it was going to be over for them, a death knell.
Then all of the taxes they've been paying as they've struggled go someplace else and they're they're left with nothing.
I applaud you, Trey.
This is Congressman Hollingsworth from Indiana.
I applaud you for what you did.
Continue to stand.
America needs real leadership that is connected to the average person.
And I hope you can find a chorus with you, Trey.
Well, I hope so too, but I will continue to stand strong for the values that I know matter most to you, matter most to me, and frankly, matter most to Americans.
We're going to get there.
We're going to get through this, and I believe we will become even stronger because of it.
Thank you for the work that you're doing every day to keep Americans focused on what's really going on in Washington.
Thank you so much.
Trey Hollingsworth, a Republican from Indiana, who dared to say maybe we should consider the effects of the economy and how many people that will kill and impoverish if we we lose the American dream.

We're glad you're here.
It is Friday.
We've got a very, very big show for you today.
The nominees for our Maui's is coming out
shortly today on the Glenbeck program.
You watch that on Glenn TV on Blaze TV.
But it is, oh, we've got a lot of nominees for the Corona Dictator of the Year.
These, these awards, of course, been, you know, we've been giving these out.
This is, I think, the 81st annual
starting back in 1939.
You don't want to miss it tonight.
It's very, very special.
Mr.
Bill O'Reilly is next.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Ah, yeah.
All right.
Let me talk to you a little bit about American financing.
Stimulus checks are rolling out this week to millions of Americans.
One of them might be you.
And you need to ask yourself a pretty serious question right now.
And that is,
is this enough to get by?
Is this what I need?
Is this going to
padding everything?
One of the best options that you should be considering right now if you own your own home is a refi of your mortgage.
Interest rates are low.
Loans are going to get harder and harder to get.
May I suggest
you could save hundreds of dollars on a refi.
You could save a thousand bucks if you do a refi and you consolidate all your high interest debt.
Please, please do the financially responsible thing today and look at all of your financing with AmericanFinancing.net.
A 10-minute phone call.
They're not going to charge you anything.

All right, Mr.
Bill O'Reilly,
welcome to the program, sir.
How are you?
I'm the same back, which is heartbreaking.
Oh, it really is.
But it kind of brings a little light to my eyes.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Just a, maybe just a little bit.
All right.
So, Bill,
let's talk about the biggest news stories of the week.
We have a half hour today, so let's get right to it.
Where do you want to start?
Biggest story of the week, you think?
Well, you're doing the dictators of the pandemic.
Is that what you're doing?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why I'm getting shortened up today.
Yes, it is.
Witmer's got to win, right?
The governor of Michigan.
Well, she might be a nominee.
We don't know yet.
Got to be.
I haven't opened those emblems.
And she knocked herself out of the VP sweepstakes by this insanity.
I mean, I'm a simple man, logical man, as you know.
So say I live in Michigan, and I got a nice house in Lansing, the capital, and then I have another little chalet up in the upper peninsula, and I want to take a drive up there just to make sure everything is good at the property, and there's not a lot of virus up there, and maybe I relax for the weekend.
And the governor says, you can't.
You can't get in your car and drive to your home, your other home.
And then I say, why?
Who am I putting at risk by doing that?
And then there is no answer.
That's fascism.
When you get that kind of ridiculous public policy, that's when the people have to say no.
And they did in Michigan.
And they are, and they are, and they're standing up.
And, you know, they're being called far-right extremists and every other name in the book because of it.
But they're absolutely right.
So as you look at the things that are happening, Bill, with the utter economic devastation, we had another 5 million people added to the rolls yesterday.
We're probably at about 15 to 17 percent unemployment rate right now.
People, I don't think, are listening to the people.
They're not responding to the business owners.
What do you see
coming on this end of a lockdown?
Because the big debate now is, oh, Donald Trump is so irresponsible.
And nobody's talking about the real people that are hurting because of this lockdown.
Yeah, because there's always a political agenda.
So, as we discussed here on this program,
there are many people in the country that feel that Trump is worse than the virus.
So four more years of Trump is worse than anything the pandemic could bring.
So the way to get him out is to keep the economy in a deflated state until November.
Very simple equation.
And nobody can say it isn't in play.
Of course it's in play.
You see it all the time.
You see it every day.
So as far as Americans are concerned, they're not getting
the information they need from the national media.
And I'll give you a very specific.
In Europe this week, Denmark, Austria, Czech Republic opened.
Next week, Germany, big Germany opens up on Monday.
And the reason they are all opening is because Europeans, generally speaking, have no savings
because the government takes
all of their money.
They don't have savings accounts like we do in America.
They don't have IRAs, they don't have retirement, they don't have any of that.
Because the government gives them cradle to grave.
But now they can't buy food.
And if you're in Germany and you can't buy food, you know what's going to happen.
So Merkel wouldn't want to, all right, but has to open the country on Monday.
So all Americans should be watching what happens in Europe.
Does the pandemic spike?
Is there chaos in the streets?
What happens?
Is it orderly?
Are the shops functioning in an orderly way?
People have to wear masks and they have to distance.
People have to do all that, but I assume they will.
But this is a big story because what happens there this week and next week is going to happen here.
Just today, Jacksonville opened its beaches.
Jacksonville has to open its beaches because it has no money coming in.
So all of these stories are what Americans should be concentrating on, not the phony, fabricated reports that you're getting 24-7 on cable news, which is absolutely outrageous.
What a useful industry.
Go ahead.
So wait, wait, wait, Bill, I want to go back to Jacksonville.
What you said was really important.
Jacksonville has to open their beaches because they have no money coming in.
Well, what really pisses me off is states, quite honestly, like Michigan, where, yeah,
they've got money coming in because they're keeping the state liquor stores open.
Yeah, but it's not nearly open.
Jacksonville has to open their beaches.
Well, what about all the businesses that have to open?
Listen, what you're going to see in America is what you're seeing in Europe.
You're going to see, beginning very quickly,
stores starting to open in in states that are not that impacted.
And you're going to see that.
That's going to happen.
Now, there are going to be places like New York City, where I am, okay, which can't happen.
It can't.
But it will happen, I'd say, in 75% of the country.
However, we have to watch to see what happens in Europe.
This is the perfect place because they have the pandemic there.
And they have a lot of people
there.
Give me a review of what you think about these Northeastern mayor or governors that are all coming together to be Trump-proof.
What are your thoughts on that?
Okay, look, if you don't live in the Northeast or California, you don't understand the welfare state that's been set up.
So you don't have that welfare state in Texas, where you are.
You don't have it in most of the upper Midwest and the Rocky Mountain states, but you have it here.
So New York State owes, what, $100 billion.
They can't possibly ever pay it.
So they need the federal government to give them stuff.
Because New York State is so irresponsible in its spending, and it's the highest tax state in the Union.
But they give away, and there's so much corruption that the tax money is flushed down the drain.
Just as we can California, the governor said, we're going to give
$1,000 to every illegal alien in here.
Okay, well, how do you do that?
You don't know where they are.
They don't file tax returns.
You know how they're going to do it, Beck?
They're going to give it to private charities, the state, Sacramento,
to private charities who deal with
the undocumented community, as they call it.
And how much of that money, I guarantee you,
how much of that money
I know, but how much of that money is not going to actually make it to those people?
This is a way to funnel money into those organizations.
And if you're an illegal alien and they don't know where you are, you go to every charity and get the grant.
You go to one, you go to two, you go to three, you go to four.
You just, you know, get in a little car and you zip around.
Hey, here I am.
And nobody's going to monitor it.
They don't know where you live.
They don't know who you are.
You don't have a passport.
Who are you?
I don't know.
I'm an illegal alien.
Give me $1,000.
And then California, of course, is going to run a huge deficit.
Then they go, well, I want federal money.
Give me federal block grants.
And so look, this is the game.
When you're dependent on government, as many states are, they're dependent on the federal government.
And then you're in a pandemic where the spending is crazy, all right, where are you going to go?
So Cuomo says, oh, I need 30,000 ventilators.
Give me them.
Give me them right now.
Where are they?
How come you don't have them?
This is what Cuomo's saying, right?
You know how many he's used?
5,000.
I'm sorry.
He needed 30,000.
He's used 5,000.
All right, but he wanted the 30,000.
Give me the 30,000.
Where are they?
How come you don't have them?
This is the game.
Blame everyone else for your irresponsible and corrupt spending practices.
Because, oh, no, it's not my fault.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It is so staggeringly corrupt.
But when you do have a corrupt system, anything like this
collapses it.
And it should become clear to the American people that you cannot be dependent on a government.
If you are dependent, you're going to die.
It's a matter of when, not if.
All right.
So let me ask you this.
Looking at the latest poll, and I'm trying to find the actual story, it shows that Donald Trump has gone down five percentage points, which is a big deal for him.
So you don't buy it.
Sure, I do.
Americans are an impatient people.
Of course, I do.
Every week this goes on, his numbers are going to go down.
Then, when it gets better, they'll go up.
And it depends on the timeline on whether they go up enough for him to win.
But Americans are, I mean, everybody's getting a little teed off now, and the blame game is starting.
And unfortunately,
a lot of Americans are watching television news, which is totally misleading them in every area.
And enough people believe it so that anybody's numbers would go down.
And that's what you're seeing with Trump.
Trump knows that he wins if he gets it under control by midsummer, that if September rolls around, the kids can't go back to school,
then he loses.
He knows.
All right.
Okay.
Back in just a second with Bill O'Reilly.
I want to talk to him about the WHO and
what Facebook and Google and everybody else is doing on the WHO.
It's outrageous and extraordinarily dangerous.
We'll talk to Bill about that in one minute.
Stand by.
It can be difficult or embarrassing talking to your doctor about ED.
And look, it could be something, though, that indicates a more serious health problem that you want to make sure you get taken care of.
Might be difficult talking to your doctor about hair loss.
Well, they have treatments for this stuff, and there's no reason you have to deal with these issues.
And the earlier you catch it, the better all these things work.
Why not go to Roman and this way you don't have to deal with a face-to-face awkward sort of conversation?
Get it all taken care of online.

10 seconds, station ID.
So, Bill,
we just had Facebook
reverse themselves on something.
USA Today, two weeks ago, said that we needed a false rating at Glenbeck.com and a social clip from a special that we did two weeks ago where we showed the video of the Chinese collecting this horseshoe bat stuff and bringing it back to a lab.
And it was all from the Chinese government, yada yada.
We were a little early.
Everybody else was about a week later on it.
We were early, but USA Today deemed that false, even though it was true, deemed it false.
Now we have been downgraded.
We have been smeared by the Facebook sensors.
We have lost a lot of Facebook traffic because it has hurt us.
Yesterday we get this.
After reviewing your dispute, we have removed the USA Today link fact check article and lifted the false ratings, which will lift Facebook's enforcement on your content.
Well, that's great, except if you...
If Facebook now deems that you are saying something that their fact checkers don't agree with, for instance, the WHO is corrupt, you are going to be downgraded and smeared.
It's not just that you disappear.
They smear you.
And they're sending people to the WHO website for all of the truth.
Bill, how does a nation survive when that's going on?
You have to sue Gannett.
I would.
That owns USA Today because that's the originator of the falsehood.
And then you have to tell Facebook.
attorneys, listen, you know, you are a private company.
We understand that, but you can't hurt this private company.
If you're going to deal in information,
which they do,
then you have to be honest in your dealings with that information.
There is no subjective,
it's either you're going to put it up there because we say it's true, and if you don't have beyond the reasonable doubt that it isn't true, you've got to keep it up there.
And if you don't, you'll find your way in court.
You could win a lot of money.
Well,
here's the thing:
I
every intention of pursuing this.
But
what I want to ask you, and what I really would like to hear an answer on, is how do,
when they are not only blocking the truth on something like this, where it is an evolving story, or something like the WHO, the WHO is dangerous right now to the world because they are so corrupt.
And if they are saying that is our source for truth, WHO, and then they smear anyone who disagrees with it,
how does a nation survive?
Listen, the good news is that the president cut off the $500 million American payment to the WHO, which legitimizes your position.
So that's a fact.
All right, so that you and your critique of the WHO is legitimate.
And here's the proof, the United States of America is cut off $500 million.
But if for the rest of America that doesn't believe in Donald Trump, for half of America, this validates to them, well, Facebook is sending me to the WHO to get the real scoop.
See, Trump is just crazy.
It's been going on for what, 25 years?
I mean, you got people who don't want the truth, who don't look for the truth.
They have a belief of whatever it may be, and they want their belief reinforced.
So anybody stepping back objectively knows that the World Health Organization enabled China to lie to the world.
There's no doubt about that.
There's no two sides to the story.
The WHO objected to the United States stopping flights from China on January 30th.
That's in stone.
That's happened.
So that's the end of the argument.
That's it.
If it was up to the WHO, all those planes from China and from Wuhan would be coming in here.
So you know how much worse
the pandemic would be?
Go ahead.
All right.
Oh, much worse, much worse.
Right, right.
So you have facts.
You have verifiable facts that the WHO took China's side and enabled the spread of the virus all over the world.
There's no two sides to that story.
So if you have an American who rejects that,
you just have to walk away from that person.
You can't have any further discourse.
You have to walk away from the mainstream media it is becoming more and more dangerous i mean we're talking about life and death we are talking about science now we're talking about science it's absolutely verifiable and we're talking about life and death situations and they're steering you to people who if we would have listened to we'd we'd have a lot more dead today they are in bed with china um bill give me real quick your take on on sweden uh because sweden was being held up as, you know, look, looks like they're really the, I mean, they're not closing anything down, and it looks like they're really the model.
Yeah, and they paid a price for it.
Yeah.
All right.
So
there is a middle ground between public safety and the economy.
And that's the ground that you have to seek.
And Sweden basically said, no, we're going to keep everything open.
They're paying a price now.
Bill O'Reilly, sorry to cut you off this week.
You'll be back next week.
Make sure you join billo'reilly.com.
You have anything special this weekend?
Just me, Beck.
Very special guy.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Lots of fun at the Bill O'Reilly household.
Thanks a lot, Bill.
Appreciate it.
Have a great weekend.
Talk to you next week.
Bye.
Back in just a moment.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
You know, back in the good old old days, car engines ran on a series of rubber bands, watted up pieces of chewing gum and balin twine.
All you needed to do is lift up, a good old-fashioned know-how.
You lift up that hood of your car and you'd be like, oh, well,
your balin twine there is coming unraveled.
These days, however, it's not quite so simple.
Cars have super expensive electronic chips that you have to buy.
And the whole thing shuts down if one of the chips goes wrong.
But the good news is, those chips are
like,
oh, probably a semester at college for your kids.
So it's nothing to worry about.
You got extra money.
Or not.
And if you're like most people, or not, it plays a big role.

Wow,
there is early data on a drug made by Gilead that suggests patients are responding to treatment.
Now, this is everywhere in the news.
The media is very excited.
We only have a few data points right now, and they're in phase two of the three phases for their clinical trials, but it's very promising, and the stock market is going through the roof.
However, the Hill would like to remind you that Rita Wilson experienced extreme side effects of
hydroxychloroquine.
Family of New York woman blames hydroxychloroquine combination for the fatal heart attack.
French study now from CNN finds that hydroxychloroquine just doesn't help any patients with coronavirus.
Same from reason.
It's just very disappointing.
And then you have this story, a local story from Dallas.
39 elderly Texans successfully complete hydroxychloroquine treatment for COVID-19.
They completed a five-day treatment, and their doctor said none of the patients experienced side effects.
And
maybe they're all dead now.
We're not sure.
Oh, wait, we have the doctor on.
Dr.
Robert Robin Armstrong, medical director at the nursing home,
the resort in Texas City.
He has his B.S.
in microbiology from Texas A ⁇ M, MD from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
And his wife is a doctor.
So, you know, he's got something going on.
He's not a vet.
So
let's talk to Dr.
Robin Armstrong.
Hi, Doc.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
And yourself, thanks for having me on.
You bet.
I'm excited to hear the results of the 39 patients.
What happened?
So what happened with our patients that we treated with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc is we've had great results.
We've had one patient that passed away from other causes,
not coronavirus likely, but all the other 38 have done well with the regimen.
And so
these were all elderly patients as well, nursing homes.
And so these were patients that, by and large, ranged from the ages of probably 55 but really chronically ill to 102.
And so we had a wide range of patients.
Most of them are all above 70 and 80.
And so, and they actually tolerated the medication well.
We monitored them closely, did not have any side effects from the medications, and they've done very, very well.
In this cohort of patients, you would expect a certain number to go to the hospital.
You would expect a certain number to number to succumb to the illness, but that just didn't happen in our case and with our observations.
Okay, so are any of them now COVID-free-ish?
I mean, as free as you get with this.
So as of yesterday
was two weeks post-testing.
Their test was on April the 2nd.
So they finished two weeks yesterday.
We're going to retest them actually on Tuesday of next week, and then make that determination.
We certainly think that they're out of the woods as far as a serious medical illness from COVID-19 at this point because
they're all 14 days out.
And on Tuesday, they'll be two weeks from the treatment as well.
So, Doctor,
there are stories of people that have taken this and said, within a few hours, I turned
for the better.
I started making the turn.
Have you seen any results like that?
Were they going in the wrong direction and this turned it around?
Or do you have any real results that you could say
this was effective?
Well, in our observation, I would say that the only patients that we treated on this regime, we had about 56 positives.
We did not put everybody on it because we put folks on it who were getting worse.
We put folks on it in the nursing home.
Our goal was to manage them there in the nursing home.
And if they started getting more short of breath, if their oxygen saturation started to decline, or they started having a fever, we would start the medication regimen at that point and and and so and what we saw was the patients started to get better they either maintained where they were
and and and or they slightly got better and and over time all of them got better and so we've seen a significant improvement in them and so like I say in our small observational study our patients certainly have gotten better.
The health department director says, you know, you would expect percentages to be much higher, percentages of death, percentages of hospitalization, and we just saw none of that.
And so, so, in my observational study, we saw folks improve.
And so, that's pretty exciting for us because we're about saving lives, and that's all we're about.
All right.
So,
let me take you here.
There is a report out that's been circulating this week, and it started with this woman
in New York who is now suing because she said that
it was the combination that caused a fatal heart attack.
And even I know that just talking to my local doctor, when he looked into this, I called him and I said, What do you know about this stuff?
He looked in and he said,
Hydroxychloroquine's been around forever.
He said it's safe.
You know, there's some eye problems, et cetera, et cetera.
He said, But the combination of the two, he said, I wouldn't feel comfortable giving someone unless they were being monitored at a hospital because it can cause heart problems.
This is nothing new.
Every doctor knows that.
That's one of the risks, correct?
Absolutely correct.
And I'll tell you, so what the issue is, doesn't cause heart attacks.
It can cause an arrhythmia with the two, with the combination, because what they do is they prolong the QTC interval, and that's an EKG finding that shows that they're predisposed to having a cardiac arrhythmia.
Now, most cardiologists will tell you that in prolonging the QTC interval, they never, very rarely see arrhythmias with them, but if you do see that prolonged QTC interval on the EKG, it says that they're predisposed to that.
We actually
checked EKGs on all of our patients in the middle.
So on day three and day four, we checked EKGs on those patients that were on the combination, because I understood that concern, and none of them had a prolonged QTC interval.
So none of them had the change that's indicative of cardiac arrhythmias.
And so
I don't think that that's actually accurate.
I bet you if you go to any individual's medicine cabinet, many of those medications prolong the QTC interval.
Antidepressants do.
A lot of them do, and it's just sort of a common pharmacologic side effect of a lot of different medications.
But it's very rare that they cause fatal arrhythmias.
And in our study, we had zero that had the EKG finding that would show that they would have an arrhythmia.
None of them had arrhythmias and none of them had the EKG finding consistent with arrhythmias.
We are hearing from doctors all over the country that are using this, that have seen results.
I mean, it's not a cure-all by any stretch of the imagination.
Absolutely not.
But yesterday,
a few things have come out about the new drug from Gilead.
It's not even through with testing.
The stock market went crazy.
CNN, all of the New York Times, everybody went crazy.
Oh, this is it.
We finally have a cure.
We don't even know anything about this drug yet.
And I'm really excited.
I hope that this is all true.
But here's a drug that's been around literally forever, hydroxychloroquine, and it is being treated like a pariah.
Do you believe that this is happening because Donald Trump was behind it?
Absolutely.
I mentioned it.
That is the reason.
I absolutely think that's the reason.
I think that's why people are ⁇ I have been attacked when I've treated patients with this, and we've seen improvement in the patients.
And so I believe it is a political agenda, unfortunately.
And it's just, it's really sad to me because I've never allowed my political preferences to get involved
with my medical practice.
And that's still the case.
We've never allowed that to happen, and it hasn't happened in this case.
And I think it's a shame that they've allowed this to happen.
But even though I've seen great results, families are happy, the patients are happy, patients are alive, they didn't go to the hospital like you would expect.
And so I'm really excited with the results.
And so as a medical professional, morally, you know, I was set up with a situation where I thought
the outcome of this could be catastrophic.
You could send all these folks to the hospital and expose EMS workers, ER nurses, and doctors, or you could manage them in place, watch their symptoms closely.
We rounded on them every single day.
We saw them every day to manage their symptoms and make sure they were not getting worse, started the medicines, monitored them closely on the drug in the nursing home and saw an improvement.
And so I'm excited about the results.
Well, I'd like to hear the results from the test again next week.
Thank you so much.
Dr.
Robert Robin Armstrong
from
the resort at Texas Cities, the medical director at that nursing home, treated 39 elderly Texans
with the signs of COVID-19 for treatment for COVID-19.
One passed away not from COVID-19, and the rest of them are getting better every day.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it, Doc.
Thank you, sir.

Relief factor.
If you are looking to get out of pain, Relief Factor is not a drug.
It is something that was developed by doctors that 70% of the people who try it find relief from pain and go on to order more month after month.
That is an astonishing stat.
I did not think this would work.
It reduces inflammation.
That's where most of our pain comes from.
You know, that's like, oh, well, I don't know.
Going to the doctor, ah, can you?
I'm going to write your prescription for
pretty strong ibuprofen 800.
No, Doc.
No, don't do that.
I'll get addicted to that.
That's not something I could just take and pour four of the ibuprofens that I can get over the counter and swallow.
No, just give it, instead of taking four of those, just give me one.
Oh, you are living on the next, I'll be jamming a needle in my arm.
That crap never works for me.
So, I didn't think this would.
It does.
It's worked for two years, and I am dramatically, dramatically different.
Please try it.

He can barely play, and he really can't sing.
But what a great effort from Scotty Gunther.
I'm hoping to get him on our award show
to play that live
song of the year.
It might be nominated.
We're not sure.
We're not sure.
Tonight, some of the nominees are going to be announced.
We're very, very excited.
I mean, this is a black tie event today on Blaze TV,
where we are going to announce the nominees of the Corona Dictators of the Year.
And there are several different categories.
You know, best performance by a police squad.
That's where, you know, some police have been tackling people because they're not wearing masks or whatever.
And there's lots of nominees.
They have all come in over the last few days all over the country.
And
we're going to be giving out this, the Chairman Mao Award, which is a very coveted Chairman Mao statue.
And it's just beautiful.
Now, Now
I was thinking if we were going to be consistent, I was thinking about presenting each trophy to the winner, but the winner wouldn't actually get the trophy.
We would give it to somebody else who really didn't earn it.
Because I thought that would
all those socialist dictators would be happy with that.
I'm sure they would understand.
Yeah, sure.
They don't.
They don't.
They earned the award, but they wouldn't get it.
We'll redistribute it to somebody else who didn't do a damn thing for it.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Our COVID-19 update.
Actually, a really good one, a fun one today.
You don't want to miss.
I mean, as fun as COVID-19 can be.
One you don't want to miss.
Coming up in just a moment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
All right, I don't know about you, but
I'm looking for things to do around the house.
Today I'm power washing my house,
which
anyway, it's about time that we get back to work in America, but if you're still looking for things to do around the house, let me tell you something that
I got a hustler turf lawnmower, I don't know, a couple months ago, and it is
great fun.
It is great fun.
Sorry, honey, I gotta go mow the lawn.
It is perfect.
It'll be the last lawnmower you ever, ever have to buy.
It's nothing like mowing the lawn.
It's nothing like mowing the lawn.
It's a zero-turn lawnmower.
If you have, you know, a couple of acres or so, it's going to save you a buttload of time.
You're going to, I mean, actually,
this is the only drawback on it.
It's so fast and so effective that you're going to spend less time mowing the lawn,
which there are times when you just want to, you know, honey, I got to go mow mow the lawn again.
I gotta, oh man, I'd love to help you with that, but I gotta mow the lawn.
You can now get an extra year of extended warranty coverage by going to hustlerturf.com and clicking on the radio offer button at the right-hand corner and enter my name back in the box for details about their warranty offer.
This is the lawnmower, nothing like it.
Check it out for yourself: hustlerturf.com.
Well, let's see.
Here are the daily stats.
Cases worldwide, 2,197.
That's up about 100,000 cases.
Total confirmed deaths, 147,000 worldwide.
The U.S.
now has 687,000 confirmed cases.
That is up from yesterday, plus
we have 34,641 deaths.
All global confirmed cases have had an outcome of either recovered or dead.
21% of COVID victims have died worldwide.
China revises the Wuhan death rate upward by 50%.
The WHO
praises their transparency.
For those of us who have been saying, bull crap, these numbers are not right in China.
There's no way they would have done all of this
had those numbers been that small.
We're 100%
vindicated now.
The Chinese Communist Party issued a revision indicating that they're now 90% positive their original case fatality rate was off by only 50%.
There is also a 99% probability that the WHO will issue a statement praising all of the transparency of the communist
Chinese Communist Party.
This is, we have got to get out of the WHO.
This is something that is
so instrumental.
Let me just spend a second on this.
Let me go back to something we talked about yesterday because it revolves around this.
Facebook yesterday lifted the false rating of Glennbeck.com because we had a social media clip on Facebook from a special that I did two weeks ago on the coronavirus where I showed the video from the Communist Party.
It was on Communist Party television back in December, and it showed them these researchers going into a cave of horseshoe bats and collecting samples.
And they were talking about how dangerous this was because of this dangerous coronavirus in these bats.
And they had to be very careful not to get it on the skin and everything else.
So that was on their national television in either late November November or early December.
We showed that those scientists were 300 yards from the Wuhan wet market.
And we showed that it was now
showing, positive, proof positive, that patient zero did not come from the Wuhan market.
The actual
patient zero came, they said, from near the market.
Like, I don't know, maybe 300 yards.
This is what you mean when
you say it came from a lab.
They didn't bioengineer this thing.
They were sloppy with it, obviously.
It wasn't something that they released intentionally, I don't think.
We asked the question.
We didn't even make the statement.
We were
banned by Facebook.
They demonetized us.
They gave us a a false rating.
And the reason why they did it is because USA Today,
USA Today claimed that we were making this up, that this was a conspiracy theory.
They used an article from like the middle of March to prove us wrong.
They didn't prove us wrong.
They proved themselves as being behind the news.
So yesterday, finally, after about two weeks, our dispute with Facebook has been settled and they have removed the ban and the USA Today link.
This is why it is critical that you and I have a direct link to each other.
Because not only did Facebook do this, Google is doing this, all of these companies are doing this.
They're throttling back anyone who has actual information.
I think if you've listened to me long enough to know, you know I separate the difference between fact and fiction, conspiracy theory theory and conspiracy fact.
We are not talking about any conspiracy theories now.
We're not talking about any conspiracy theories with the WHO.
The WHO is corrupt.
The WHO is on the payroll of China.
The head guy is a former politician, first time, not a doctor, a former politician from Ethiopia.
who is on and his country is on the payroll of the Chinese Communist Party.
This is all about money.
It's all about politics.
And we need to pull out and clean that place up.
It's the United Nations, so I don't think you can clean it up.
I don't think we should be spending a dime with the WHO.
But yesterday, Facebook said that they are redirecting any stories that they deem false, they're redirecting for the truth to the WHO.
The only reason anyone would ever do that is because because you hate Donald Trump and you just want to prove him wrong about the WHO.
And so you're just taking a stand of, no, they did nothing wrong.
It is clear, clear the WHO was in the wrong.
They had information in late December from Taiwan that said, China is lying to you.
We have proof this is much more virile than anyone thought.
It is spreading like wildfire.
the who
didn't even address it because Taiwan doesn't exist
oh okay that sounds really scientific thank you for that
please join us at Blaze TV become a member now I'm telling you we have got to have a direct pipeline to each other with no middlemen or algorithms in between us.
Blazetv.com slash Glenn.
More important than ever.
That's why we've cut it to the bone.
We've slashed 30%.
Use the promo code Glenn right now.
We are going to keep this promotion going until the end of this crisis and we're all back to work and
we can afford things again.
They're opening up the casinos.
The rules for reducing the social distancing rules released by the White House Task Force came out yesterday.
They are calling for three phases of reduced social and economic restrictions.
I mean, everybody knows all of these.
We all know all of them.
We're already doing it.
Nobody has to tell us where to stand.
We are all standing away from each other when we have to go to the grocery store.
We get it.
It's time we open the country back up.
It may not be today,
but we are in weeks, weeks of opening this up.
If it's not next week, it should be today in some places, next week in others, three weeks, and let New York open in August.
Best of luck to you.
I personally say, I ain't bailing you out anymore, New York.
You've made your own bed for decades.
Why is my tax money going to bail out California and New York?
All right, let me give you a couple of other things.
I told you that we would get to a point where gas gas was so cheap they would pay you to take it.
No way.
No way.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Do you know what the wholesale gas price is today in the middle of America?
I don't.
Per barrel?
Are you talking?
Are you talking about per gallon?
Per gallon.
Per gallon?
Gallon of gas, gallon of gas.
What is the wholesale price in middle America?
Does that include Texas?
I think I just paid like two in the little twos.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
What are they trying to sell it to the gas stations?
The wholesale price.
You're buying a bunch of it.
How much is it?
For instance, with economic
inflation adjusted, the lowest it's ever been in the history of gasoline in America was 14 cents a gallon.
Okay.
That's in the old timey times, but
that's inflation adjusted numbers.
So that's the lowest it's ever been what is it today
the lowest it's ever been is 14 cents uh 50 yeah 50 cents 25 cents
12
oh it's it's lower than the lowest it's ever been
It's lower than it was in the Great Depression at any given time.
It is the lowest it has ever been.
There is such a glut of gasoline now.
they are getting to the point to where they are going to start paying the stations to take them.
So it's all this, the pipelines now are full of gas.
They're using the pipelines as storage units.
There's that much gas that is available right now.
You are not going to see those prices, obviously.
I mean, if it was 12 cents a gallon, you'd probably, I don't know, be about 70 cents, 60 cents a gallon, maybe.
And you're not going to see that because all the other gas that's already in the line.
But
50 cents a gallon, 60 cents a gallon, that's amazing.
By the way, that gas, if it's 12 cents wholesale, you're in New York or California, it would be about $687 at the pump.
Let's see.
There's a couple of other things.
I want to get to Nancy Pelosi's freezer.
She was on James Gordon the other day, and
I just have to say, I've never seen anyone more out of touch, and I've never seen anyone with a freezer quite like this.
Now, I'm not a guy that can cry poor mouth,
but I believe her freezer rivals that of Queen Elizabeth.
Can we play this video, please?
And
this is something you can get through the mail.
Okay.
Run out.
Yeah.
She's got two side-by-side wolves.
I never knew I needed.
Oh, my.
Wow.
Now look at people in our family, though, for some other flavors, but
can you pause it there?
Pause it there.
Show it.
Show it in the frozen, if you will.
She's got...
a really well-organized freezer.
Everything's color-coded.
It's like the freezer has made service.
Okay.
She's got dove bars in there, Jenny's ice cream,
all the different flavors, all the kinds.
All the different kinds or whatever.
I mean, that's expensive ice cream, too.
The stuff next to the dove, I don't even know what it is, but I know I see it at the supermarket all the time, and I look at it and I'm like, wow, that looks good.
And then you pick it up and you're like, $18 for a pint.
You're like, ah, that's going to sit there.
Yeah.
I've never seen a refrigerator or a freezer like that.
Have you?
No.
I mean, it's $24,000
between the two sides.
That's a $24,000 Wolf refrigerator freezer.
That's.
I mean just the inside of it.
I mean just, I'm not even talking about the freezer.
Yeah, those are really expensive freezers.
I'm talking about, I've never seen a free.
Can I, I just took a picture of my freezer in my kitchen.
And I just want to, can you put them side by side, Stephen?
Because this is the way my freezer looks.
That's hers there's mine
okay not not as there's no made service yeah no there's no made service coming there's you know there's egg o waffles in there I mean there's some you know fruit and
you know there's crap in there there's a lot of crap in there
Yeah, and it's what we really need to clean out our freezer.
This is really quite embarrassing.
But I think mine,
and mine is not a cheap ass freezer.
And, you know, I mean, I'm not crying crying poor mouth, but that looks like the inside, I think, of most people's freezers.
Does it not?
It does.
Yeah, it does.
It's not.
And maybe a little below.
It's not color-coded.
Right.
It has no made service.
They're not...
You know, the frozen items are not having a little frozen mint on their pillow every night.
I mean, this is nuts.
I've never seen somebody so out of touch as she is.
All right, we'll come back with more here in just a second.
Let me break for 60 seconds.
Pat, I have to tell you,
I've got to send you, I've got to,
if I leave
some ribs at your front door, would you eat them?
Have you physically touched them?
Have you touched them, though?
Well, I mean, is there...
I will wear gloves.
I'll wear gloves.
Yes,
I'd love to eat them.
Yes.
If they're coming from where I think they're coming from, I will eat them.
Yeah, they're coming from me, my rectec grill.
I am learning how to smoke now with a rectech grill, and I would never do this if I had to go chop the wood and put the wood in and tend the wood and all that.
No, turn it on and set the temperature and then put the meat in, close the hood, open the hood, maybe turn it once, you know,
and then you know a couple hours later, come out and eat it.
That's what I want.
Otherwise, I'll just go to a barbecue place.
Rec Tech Grills are so great.
They're built by grillers for grillers.
And I want you to see the RekTech Grill right now.
Go to Rek Tech, R-E-C-T-E-C, grills with an S dot com slash back.
But go there and see these.
These things are built to last.
They are far superior to anything else you're going to find.
Just, I mean, in the lasting quality, it's heavy steel.
This thing ain't going anywhere.
And if I can make really good, I mean, put it up with the best barbecue next to the best barbecue.
If I can make it, anyone can be a genius.
I'm going to deliver some meat to you this weekend, Pat.
Built by Grillers for Grillers.
Of course, the meat's coming out of that freezer, so God only knows what it is.

Hey, let's real quick,
can we get the Joe Biden music, Sarah?
We have a Joe Biden update.
We haven't checked in on the next President of the United States in quite a while.
In fact, here's the Joe Biden.
It's...
I mean, it's coming along.
Okay, anyway, so
Joe Biden, he is.
You want to set this up,
Pat?
He's made another appearance.
And he's telling some really good stories.
And Jill is sitting by his side, and the expression on her face during part of this rambling story that he's trying to tell is priceless.
First, the long version where he goes through
this bizarre story.
I sat with a guy yesterday on a telephone.
And he's telling me, he said, I don't know.
He said, look,
I worked at the hospital.
And he said, man,
I got myself in a position where I got the virus.
So they quarantined me.
And they put me in the hospital.
And I made it out.
And so I'm out.
And you don't want me with my family.
I'm on the third floor.
I spent 15 minutes on the phone with them saying, he said, I have a three-year-old and a four-year-old.
And they come to the door outside, and they just knock on the door and say, Daddy, Daddy, can I see you, Daddy?
Can I see you, Daddy?
So we spent time going through what I used to do with my kids when they were little and I couldn't see them.
And we'd play games.
I said,
make up a game,
knock on the door and say, this is, you know,
practical things.
The guy's scared to death.
And he's worried about his children.
He's worried about his wife.
I mean, these are practical things.
The president talks about this, like, okay, it's going to be okay.
We're going to open tomorrow.
We're going to do this.
I mean, it just
drives me crazy.
I don't know why he doesn't understand.
Okay, so I mean, if you're not going to be able to do that,
yes, my father-in-law has had strokes.
He is not like that.
Right.
He totally makes sense.
And he's had strokes.
Yeah.
There's something seriously wrong.
First, he's talking about the hospital.
The guy got, he was in the hospital, then he was out of the hospital, then he's on the third floor, then his kids come and knock, and then he had a game with his kids.
We don't know why.
Why couldn't you see your kids?
And they came and you created a game where they knock.
And then, and
then you feel bad for his kids.
You feel bad for his whoa.
And then he stops.
And then he's, and then he's on to Trump.
Very bizarre.
And here's another little section.
And even Jill is obviously concerned about him here.
She tries to help, but he's beyond all help here.
We gotta.
It's just, but you gotta, I mean, we gotta, yeah, we gotta reassure.
Look,
my message to everybody I talk to.
Wow.
We gotta.
Wow.
Look,
we have to.
I mean, it's getting to the point where it's not even funny, right?
That's just sad.
That's just funny.
You know, the left said that no way Donald Trump could win.
I hate to say there's no way this guy could win, but
with the corrupt media and everything else that's going on, there's a chance this guy could have the launch codes.
Right.
I mean,
the shortest presidency.
How important is this vice president pick?
Oh, yeah.
Really.
Because of the shortest presidency ever.
All right.
It's getting pretty near time now for
us to get back to work.
And I want you to get out of pain.
I want you to get your life back.
Relief Factor.
ReliefFactor.com has helped me and has helped so many people.
I get letters all the time from people who say, I mean, the most dramatic was a woman I met about a month ago, and her and her husband both were in really bad pain, but she was, she was trapped in the world of narcotics.
She could not function with her pain.
She tried and tried, she's tried everything.
She's no longer on prescription
medication.
And
her husband talked about how the light came back in her eyes, how she was there, she's there again.
Relief factor, please just try it.

So
this week, Fauci Fauci has come out and talked a little bit about dating on Tinder, which,
I don't know, made me uncomfortable.
I really don't need Fauci to talk about Tinder at all.
But he was giving some dating advice, and I loved his advice.
Hey, you know, everybody has to figure it out on their own.
If you want to date, you can date.
And I thought, hmm, wow.
It's kind of like the way it should be for everything.
Huh?
You know,
maybe that is the solution all around.
Maybe we're smart enough to figure it out.
No, no, no.
You can't go to work, but go ahead and get naked and swap bodily fluids with someone you met 10 minutes ago.
That's perfect.
I mean, if you're willing to take a risk, go for it.
Do it.
Yeah, that wasn't his theory about getting back to work safely.
And
he keeps telling us that we're not ready for that, that that's not anywhere near.
But then he's okay with the Tinder hookup.
It's amazing.
From the sexiest man alive.
Yeah, he is, isn't he?
Are you a Fauci hater?
I'm not a hater.
He irritates me, though.
He irritates me.
Because he's sticking his nose where it shouldn't be.
I mean, I understand where his expertise is.
It's with the medical profession.
And he's been.
And he said that.
He said that over and over again.
I hear he has
like, look, I am here to talk about medicine and saving people's lives.
I don't cross over into the other things.
That's for other people to decide.
Except he does cross over into other things.
He continually tells us we're not ready to do this or that.
We shouldn't be doing this or that.
He crosses over almost every day.
But almost every day.
Wait a minute.
If your job was only to advise on
medical and what is the best way to save people,
okay, wouldn't you be the guy who would say all the time, look, I'm not sure if I'm not sure if we should open this up?
I mean, I'm just talking to you now about medicine.
I am concerned.
This could
come back.
We don't know.
That's his job.
It's really the administration's job to decide when we come back and when we don't.
Based on the medical information.
Based on the medical information he gives.
I disagree because I don't think that we should be just looking at the medical information.
We need to understand the medical information, but we also need to know the economic economic ramifications of everything else.
A lot, I think more people in the world will die from the economy and the economic ramifications.
I'm talking globally than 147,000 people.
Yes, absolutely.
I'm absolutely convinced in the next year, more than 147,000 people will have died because of the economic ramifications of what we've done.
So he can talk all he wants about medicine, but I as the president need to now talk to economic advisors and say, what does this mean?
Yes, I agree with you.
There's no balance here.
Right, that's right.
There was a guy.
Sarah, do we have the doctor that was
Dr.
Shiva, I think his name is?
He was on a show.
I don't even know what the show was, but he's not a Fauci fan.
Listen to some of this and see what you think.
But it's just kind of a little balance to Fauci.
And with that, we'll bring in a man who has multiple degrees from MIT, including a PhD in biological engineering.
He's also running for Senate in 2020.
Welcome, Dr.
Shiva.
So nice to have you on the show today.
Great to be here, Christina.
Hope you're well.
Absolutely.
Okay, so we've all been held as a captive audience, right, watching President Donald Trump handle the coronavirus outbreak, the situation.
He has received both praise and criticism.
What do you think?
How has the president handled the outbreak?
Well, he's handled, you know, as the best he could, given the fact that he's surrounded by sharks and people who are not really advising him well on the science side of it.
What I'm talking about is Fauci.
And that's what's unfortunate because, you know, the president went through the Russian collusion nonsense that he had to go through, then he had to go through the impeachment thing, and now he's having to deal with this coronavirus.
And unfortunately, this guy, Fauci, has been in this environment for nearly four decades across multiple presidents.
presidents and he's essentially embedded into the scientific establishment which has created an unfortunate lie about the immune system and an unfortunate lie about the solution to something like this called the coronavirus or more importantly infectious disease without any real emphasis which is a real issue about the fact that it is a overactive dysfunctional weakened immune system that overreacts and that's what causes damage to the body and unfortunately Fauci has not talked about that because the truth of that leads to a solution which has nothing to do with mandating vaccines and shutting down the country.
And that's what's unfortunate.
Interesting.
Okay, pause it for just a second.
So
what's the solution?
Because he's right about that.
I've read about it.
This is what happened in 1918 as well, in the second phase.
Everybody's immune system just overloaded and short-circuited, and that's why it was killing so many people.
It was actually an overreaction of the body.
So, what is the solution?
So, well,
he doesn't get to it here, but
he's saying that Fauci's solution is not the right one because he's in bed with the pharmaceutical industry, and
he's looking for this vaccine or this pharmaceutical cure.
Well, okay, I mean, I'm not a biological engineer, so but I think the balance of
the contradictory opinions that we're getting medically is kind of important.
I hope that.
I think it's really important.
Yeah.
We are not, you know, the thing that really bothers me is we live in this black and white world.
Everything about this is going to change.
First of all, let me just say this again.
I said this to you in January.
We are all going to get this.
All of us are going to get this.
Many more.
You're talking if not this year
than later, like next year, the year after.
Yes.
At some point, we are all going to get this.
Okay.
Deal with it.
There's no way to avoid it.
It's going to live with man now for a very long time.
The flu that you get every year that goes around is of strain of the 1918 pandemic flu.
Okay.
It's the Spanish flu strain.
The same thing with this one.
We're dealing with this now for the rest of our lives.
So
let's understand that.
Stop fearing this so much.
147,000 people globally have died.
That's remarkable.
That's remarkable,
especially for what it has cost us.
What it has cost the world.
We have destroyed almost everything.
Yeah.
Almost everything.
Yeah, we really have.
And there's got to be a middle ground.
Because I'm not saying, you know, we're treated like when we say, look, let's at least talk about getting back to work here and restarting the economic environment.
Kill people.
Right.
It's like I'm suggesting that we all go out and tongue kiss each other out on the streets.
And that's not
the solution here.
There's got to be a middle ground between what we're doing and starting back up the engine of America.
There is.
There is.
And it's common sense.
You're doing it now.
If you've been to the grocery store, you're already doing common sense.
If you've been to Home Depot, they're already doing common sense.
Exactly.
Now, I mean,
everyone is avoiding each other.
That's what you need to do.
The people who are really, really sick, Robert, who's like my brother, I grew up with him.
Robert, I talked to him yesterday.
He's on a drug that suppresses the immune system.
It's for when you like have organ transplants and everything else.
So he gets a cold.
He can die.
He hasn't left his house.
No one, not even of his children, are coming over to his house.
And nobody had to tell him that, right?
Robert figured that out on his own.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
So everybody, if, I mean, if you are, and I would never say to Robert, he works for us.
I would never say, Robert, you've got to come back to work.
No, it will kill him.
So, but there are other situations.
If you are somebody who is vulnerable to these things, you shouldn't be going to the grocery store today.
But it's working around the country.
I don't understand
why we are being treated like absolute children for the first time in human history.
We're told exactly what to do.
Yeah, and we've got a president who's who's trying desperately to do something about that, and he gets hammered every day over it.
Let me tell you something.
I just found the story today that is going to change everything.
You want this economy opened up?
Stand by.
I'm going to give you a story when we come back that will make sure that this economy, and I mean this sincerely, they will open this economy once people really understand this ramification.
We'll tell you about it coming up in just a minute.
By the way, I just want you to know things are going to get better.
We're going to get through this.
It's going to be a schlog, but we're going to get through it.
And we just have to be responsible.
We have to be thoughtful.
We have to look at our choices that we're all making.
We have to save money, get the best deal that we possibly can.
We have to start listening and listening to the words of our grandparents if they lived through the Great Depression.

Democratically socialist economies.

The new book from Glenn Beck.
And the other thing, too, is that...
As that, you can order it now on Amazon or wherever books are sold.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Well, I am,
I'm telling you right now, America will go back to work.
We will open these doors up.
We will face anything once America
understands the ramification of this story.
This is from the Daily Beast, and I could join them for a dollar.
Unprecedented times call for unprecedented reporting.
Join for a dollar.
I'm going to wait on that one.
But I want to give you this very important story because it just clarifies where we should be looking.
Most, if not all, circuit events have been canceled after coronavirus infections at Miami's winter party.
And LGBTQ bars and clubs across America face tough fights to survive.
Mark Robertson estimates his business will lose $250,000 this month.
He co-owns three gay bars in Chicago,
and all were forced to close after the governor ordered bars and restaurants to shut down.
He said, you know, even though the bars will be closed until March 30th at the earliest, he said the issue is their fixed costs won't go away.
I know we've been talking about this about pizza parlors and every place else.
Gay bars would be included in that, but I'm glad they're bringing the gay bar thing here.
If businesses aren't reopened with two months, his business will probably be looking at $350,000 in losses.
And the businesses aren't going to have enough money to pay for this.
So he and his husband are contributing the money themselves.
We're either borrowing the money from our banks or we're taking the money from our own account.
And he said, that's...
That's rough.
That's rough.
And I hear stories like that.
And once America starts to hear the stories about how it's affecting not you, not just anybody, I don't care if you're gay or straight,
but specifically the LGBTQ community and this guy, I mean, if he's not the public face of suffering,
I don't know what is.
You know.
Yeah.
He's got to go take it out of his own personal savings account.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't know how bad it is.
A lot like other bar owners where straight or gay people come into them.
Do they get a special
deal?
No.
No.
No.
No, I didn't.
He's saying it's devastating.
It's devastating the gay bars.
Dang.
So.
That is bad.
Man.
That is bad.
I have to get back up on their feet.
On their feet.
You know what?
I actually do.
I hope all businesses.
I don't care if you're gay or straight.
Right.
Why is this
singled out?
This is a story.
Why is it singled out?
And those are the stories you're going to hear.
Nobody is talking about the bar owner that is really struggling, that's a straight bar owner who cares about that person.
Why?
We need to be looking at all people that are struggling because we're all business people that are struggling.
All people who have lost their jobs waiting tables are struggling.
Why are we talking about the stock market and then on top of it,
special interests?
I don't care.
Right.
I don't care.
Yeah, it's everybody.
We're all in this together.
We announced yesterday that we were going to help.
We were talking to a Democrat in Detroit who was just begging for help.
This audience really responded yesterday.
It was amazing.
We are sending 160,000 meals.
to Detroit today.
They're in trucks already being driven to Detroit right now from Mercury One.
I don't care that she's a Democrat or that Detroit, you know, does or doesn't vote for whomever.
I don't care.
We're all in this together.
You know, the 9-11, 9-12 project was, you're not alone.
We surround them.
Well, the problem is
poverty, hunger, all of the stuff that's going to come from this.
Don't worry.
If we have each other, you're not alone.
We'll take care of each other.
Stop relying on government.
Stop relying on government.
And let's start relying on ourselves and our friends and get the government out of our lives.
