Eastern on Glenn TV, Americans are vulnerable, and snake oil salesmen in the form of Democrats are knocking at our doors claiming they have a cure for coronavirus.
Socialist healthcare.
But how has that worked for countries in Europe?
With sky-high unemployment, many are saying that France's long-running experiment with socialism is failing.
With the health of America's future at stake, Glenn reveals the real cure.
Watch Arguing with Healthcare Socialists tonight at 9 p.m.
Eastern at Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
All right, well, I was looking over the news today of all the stuff that I thought you should know about, and I found a lot of stories that really only make sense if you're hammered.
So I thought, why not do a little drunk news for you today?
And
another
news: the Los Angeles County Sheriff,
Alex alex villain villain villain villanueva
uh is worried uh because he was quote forced with a choice
he has released 4276 non-violent inmates He said we have approximately 1,200 murder suspects currently in jail, and that's greater than the entire population of some
jail systems
so we had to release almost 5,000 inmates into the general public
because they might get sick they might get the coronavirus
well now he has announced
after
Also closing all of the gun stores and making it illegal for you to buy any ammunition
He has now announced that he is concerned that there might be a increase in crime.
But the good news is they'll all be healthy.
Healthy criminals.
In other unrelated news, or those of us in the media would like you to believe that they're unrelated, an inmate who is released from jail due to fears from coronavirus spread in the jailhouse he has been rearrested on a murder charge.
The sheriff says there's no question that Joseph Williams took advantage of the health emergency and committed crimes while he was awaiting resolution of a low-level non-violent offense.
But the good news again is
while he was murdering that guy, he was completely healthy.
Chile
has come up with an interesting way to make everybody feel good.
The cases of the coronavirus in Chile
have climbed past
7,500
people
and 82 deaths.
But there's been 2,300 that have recovered.
Now, that's a pretty good number of people who have recovered.
Chile, however, has announced
that
we now have 2,300 people who have recovered and they are no longer contagious
because 898 of them are dead.
But they have not been able to spread that disease to
anybody else and uh they have been in that box now for at least 14 days remember this is all
real news believe it or not
church members get 500 tickets for sitting in their vehicles with the windows closed during
radio service in a church parking lot
that's one i really
don't I don't understand
because I just I just went to the liquor store and they delivered the liquor to me
in my car
and I didn't get a fine.
In fact, I paid a heavy tax to the state for that liquor.
I'm wondering if those are
tied together at
But what do I know?
And Joe Biden says
the coronavirus has
helped my presidential campaign.
Yes, sir, it certainly has.
And
finally, an update on Chris Cuomo.
Chris, in fact, we have the Chris Cuomo theme.
Thank you very much.
So Chris Cuomo, as you know, has been very, very
sick and has his own personal battle with the coronavirus.
And
he has now come out and said that while he is doing much better,
He said, I quote, feel better, but I'm scared by this
because I'm scared by the
potential
of this and it frustrates me because I can't get out of my basement.
He says I still have this low-grade fever, but I can't shake it.
And
I know everybody tells me it's gradually takes time, but it's maddening to have this stupid old fever.
He says, my breathing is
getting better and stronger,
but he says there's some real emotional and psychological effects that he has suffered.
He said people are afraid to talk about it, but I am not, said Chris Guomo.
This virus creates an emotional illness and creates
psychological
head illnesses.
He said,
telling you, is in my head, not just figuratively in terms of messing with it,
because you've been sick for a long time
and it creates some sort of brain fog and an edginess in people, and it messes with your head.
And it's a deep psychological and emotional
problem.
And
Chris, I just want to point
this may not be something new for you.
And
I think you've been messed up in the head for a little while now.
And that's all the news.
Now let's take a look at sports.
There is no sports.
All right.
There is another story that I think is important to
hit.
Stu was telling me about it right before we went on the air.
And it kind of fits into the drunk news,
but not exactly.
Yes, would you like to be
any more specific?
Take it, Stu.
Take it, Sue.
Take it up.
Can you give me hands on that?
No, it is.
I remember you talking about something.
I thought that is what you should do right after drunk news, but I didn't write it down.
So that's...
Well,
perhaps, you know, since you're talking, you talked about how Joe Biden was helped by coronavirus in his campaign.
That was it.
That was the Joe Biden one.
Because I thought this, if you listen to this story,
it absolutely sounds like a bunch of drunks got together and said, hey,
I'm just asking, would I Oscar,
let's just say that I have been drinking.
I haven't been, but let's just say I have been.
Would this be an infraction?
That sounds exactly like this story.
Yeah.
Listen to this story.
538 today rundown of...
Look, we're just asking questions.
This is, there's no one specifically in mind here.
This is not.
I don't have any.
This is just a question, Osiver.
Just a question.
Everyone has questions.
And this one just happens to be, let's just say, in a completely unforeseen...
Nobody in mind here.
Nobody in a confluence of events.
I'm just thinking.
What if one of the candidates
maybe wasn't really fit to run for office and had to drop out.
I don't know who it could be.
I'm just saying, is there a way to get Joe Biden off of this?
I mean, or Donald Trump.
Right.
They actually mentioned it.
Obviously, everyone's thinking, like, gosh, Joe Biden.
doesn't look like he can get through conversations without stumbling over word after word.
what happens.
So they go through
this litany of
approaches to that situation and throw in that, look, Donald Trump's also in his 70s.
Just want to point that out.
I thought that we're singling out Biden here.
I mean, you know, both of these guys are old.
They're old nominees, and maybe one of them has health reasons or decides they don't want to run anymore.
Maybe Nancy Pelosi puts it.
I mean,
no,
she's not around his Diet Coke ever.
I'm just saying.
Social distancing is helping his campaign, apparently.
Right.
But they talk about this and they say basically, if it were to happen right now, like Joe Biden decided, you know what?
I'm all set.
I'm not going to run.
I don't think this is the right thing for me and my family, whatever the reason, he drops out of the race.
As of right now, all of these candidates would likely just
unsuspend their campaigns.
and jump back in and they'd have to figure out how to vote.
If it happened after the primary and before the convention, then there would be the sort of Democratic Party convention, brokered convention thing you might picture, right?
Where there is an argument at the convention to see who would win.
After that, after the convention, if it were to happen, then the party is just picking.
Like the party is actually going through with their picking.
All right.
Let me ask you another question.
Let's just say one of the two candidates couldn't run.
Right.
And we didn't want the other candidate because he's a socialist.
And he would have no chance of winning.
What would have to happen?
Let's just say I'm pulling it out of there for a governor of, let's say, like a state of New York to become the presidential lobby.
I was just saying.
I'm just picking a state.
I am fascinated by this Cuomo thing, though.
What has he done?
He's like, hey, all the inmates are going to make hand sanitizer.
That's his big move here.
I know.
Here's what he's done.
Here's what he's done, Stu.
He's not Joe Biden.
Right.
I know.
That's it.
But like, again, I'm not arguing that I think he would be a good president by any means.
But Gavin Newsom is clearly a better option here.
The guy has actually done a halfway decent job through this process as compared to Cuomo.
I mean, if you compare the two, Cuomo's done a terrible job.
I saw the only reason is all these journalists live in New York and they live for this guy's press conferences.
So they all sit there and obsess and hang on every single word he says while most of the news media is out
not in California.
So they're not seeing Newsom as closely.
You're exactly right.
You're exactly right.
It all goes down to the press yet again.
All right.
American Finance against NMLS 182334.

That was our inspiration for drunk news right there.
Qualifying for a loan right now can be pretty tricky business.
Lenders are human, and like the old saying goes, they're just as scared of you as you are of them.
Money is really tight.
Things are going to be, it's going to be tough.
I told you a few months ago,
I think
I talked about when it hits.
There's going to be plenty of money, but nothing our money can buy, and that there would be trouble getting loans.
We are going to hit this because they've decided to...
You got to have like a 700 now you know you go to jp morgan chase to get a loan you got to have a 700 credit rating uh and and 20 down so that's helping the average joe isn't it i tell i'm telling you right now there is going to be a backlash from this bailout that is bigger than the tea party movement this backlash is coming and it is coming hard
Donald Trump, please, please see the plight of the average person.
Anyway, if you are looking to save some money, maybe you can refinance right now.
This will save you a buttload of money, hundreds of dollars a month, possibly even over a thousand.
You can consolidate your loans, take all of your high-interest debt credit cards, and put them in under your house without extending your mortgage, and you will save money.
Think about how much you could pay off if you had an extra thousand dollars a month.
It's American Financing.

All right, 10 seconds, station ID.
All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about a chart we're going to show you tonight on TV.
We are going to be arguing with healthcare socialists tonight as part of a series on the book and what's happening in coronavirus.
My new book, Arguing with Socialists, is out.
It is getting really great rave reviews.
I mean, Ben Shapiro was drooling over it.
You've got Charlie Kirk who was like, this is fantastic.
Really great reviews from those who are reading it as well just online with Amazon.
It's one of the best books that we have written in a long time, especially if you are trying to have those arguments easily at hand.
And my son-in-law just asked for a copy of it.
He's never asked for a copy of any of my books.
And he wasn't kissing my butt.
He's riddled with ADD.
And having him sit down and read a book cover to cover is impossible.
This one has like pictures and graphs and all kinds of stuff in it.
So if you are riddled with ADD, it is a great, great book for you as well.
But tonight we're going to be talking about this push towards socialized medicine.
And we're going to start with just the facts of what's going on on Glenn TV tonight at 9 p.m.
And I want to show now, we'll just kind of talk through this, but I want to talk through this
chart that is the cumulative percent of each country's population dying from the coronavirus, death rate up through April 13th.
And when you see this chart, it is stunning where America is.
And there's a lot to go through it, but
and different ways to look at it.
But I just want to take this on face value.
This chart shows that Belgium is almost a straight line up.
Spain is next.
The Netherlands and Sweden and Norway and Italy are also straight line up.
France, Germany, and is doing pretty well.
The United Kingdom started late, but it's growing quickly.
The one who has,
for our population,
that has the lowest death rate is the United States.
We started
last.
We have the flattest curve.
And I know there are many ways to read this.
You know, maybe we should read this as we should should take our states as countries, etc., etc.
But that's changing the rules to find ways to,
you know, to find an answer that the media would like in many ways.
This is a chart that you will not see on mainstream media because it makes what we did look really good.
It shows the U.S.
is doing extremely well relative to other Western European countries regarding how we are handling the coronavirus.
You'll see that chart tonight and we'll tweet it out so you have it to share with your friends tonight at 9 p.m.
Eastern Blaze TV.
We are, by the way, we're also on Pluto TV.
So if you don't have Blaze, you can watch this particular show tonight at 9 o'clock.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Mr.
Pat Gray is joining us now from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast that you can hear on most of this network.
And also, you can get him
at any time with his podcast.
Hello, Pat.
Hello, Glenn.
I'm so glad to, so glad to talk to you and see that
you're still around.
You're still kicking.
It's good news for
so many.
So many.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought maybe I'd like to show you the new Mao trophy that we're giving away.
It is a statue of Chairman Mao.
It's beautiful.
And, you know, it's an honor just to be nominated to win the Mao.
But
we're going to award this maybe, maybe Friday, maybe next week.
We'll see.
But
in this Mao trophy, it has got to go to the right recipient.
And I would like people to start nominating who the biggest tyrant, I'm sorry, who the biggest Maoist is
in America right now.
And I mean, I think there's lots of people to choose from.
There is the governor of Michigan.
There is the
Kentucky.
The governor of Kentucky is great.
The sheriff
in Los Angeles is really quite good.
Even the governor of Virginia
might be a good candidate for this.
You have a nomination you would like to.
For me,
it's got to be Andy Bashir of Kentucky.
He's done such a great job in clamping down on people in his state,
which is
mostly a majority Republican state.
And so it makes it even more profound what he has done there, the good work he has done, keeping people out of church, keeping people in their homes, and
not allowing anybody to do anything in the state of Kentucky.
I'm so glad that they got rid of Matt Bray.
Yeah, I think the ankle bracelets on people who refused to stay at home.
I think that was a nice touch that really only
Mao really would have tried to pull off in Kentucky.
I mean,
imagine in a state like Kentucky, that's the kind of stuff that's going on right now.
That is, it's stunning, really.
It's, you know, and fortunately, people are starting to push back a little bit.
People are getting a little bit nervous about this.
They're getting a little pissed off about this.
And they're starting to stick up for their rights.
I love the people who are getting into their car and putting together protests.
Me too.
You know, they're all going to the, you know, the mayor's office or the, and they're all staying in their car.
They're just doing tea party rallies in their car, which I think is tremendous.
Tremendous.
By the way, if you're organizing one of those for the state, for your state or community, I'd love to hear from you.
I'd also like to hear your nominations for the biggest Maoist in the country
today.
I think
we have to stand up against this stuff.
We have to start pointing these people out because
this is insanity.
Did you hear insanity?
Did you hear the thing in michigan where uh gretchen whitmer said if you have if you have a vacation home you know and a lot of michiganders do because they've got some great lakes to have cabins on and all that they can't even go to their own home
it like if they have two homes they can't go to the other one what why
well because you're you're spreading your potential virus around a different community then
but you're in your home
right but you've gone from one place to another and you've brought new germs with you, I guess.
In your car.
In the car and in the air.
In the car.
I don't fully understand it.
I mean, I don't understand this.
I leave my home.
I get into my car.
I pull up to my driveway of my cabin on some lake in Michigan and might be even make Lake Michigan.
And
I get out of my car
and we go right into my other home.
How am I spreading anything?
Well, it is possible, Glenn, that you could go to one of the local businesses and purchase something, maybe some food and take it out and bring it back home.
And then you've spread your germs around the community, and we can't have that.
But I would be doing that.
I'd be doing that in my other community.
You think you live in America or something?
I mean, I'm just like,
I know.
Have you ever heard the like of this?
Listen to this guy.
Right.
Right.
By the way, did you hear what she did with the DeVos family?
No.
You know, because Michigan is one of these that they're having these, they want to start gathering in their cars and protest her.
And
she said, it's the DeVos family that is doing this.
They're funding all of this.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, the DeVos family is
the
owner and the originator of Amway.
And
so
they checked, you know, did the DeVos family, are they starting this?
And they did write a pretty big check to help help fund this thing.
It was all of $250.
$250.
That's going to be.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
She said it's their money that they're spreading around that's causing all of this trouble.
And
it was $250.
Those damn DeVos people are just,
they're horrible, aren't they?
So the next day, she had to come out and make a statement.
She did not apologize to the DeVos family.
She just,
in her briefing, she said, and I just want to thank Amway.
They have really been helping with the PPEs and they've been helping with disinfectants and everything else.
And they've really played a real role, an important role in our state.
Oh, man.
Really?
I mean, she's out of control.
I got an email in from a police officer.
He said, Glenn, I'm a 34-year-old police officer in Iowa.
I've been listening to you since I was 16.
I want to thank you for being such a strong, clear voice of reason and principle for so many years.
Several years ago, I had a conversation with my sergeant's assistant chief and the chief about the constitutionality of some of the orders that were given by governors throughout the country.
I'm happy to say that some are very concerned about governmental overreach.
However, some were more concerned about the spread of the virus.
I've revisited these conversations several times with them as time has gone on, and more and more stories of people being arrested and fined for exercising their constitutional rights have come out.
I've made it known that I will not violate the Constitution, that I swore an oath to uphold and protect, regardless of what our governor says.
I've not received any backlash yet, but I haven't been in a position yet where I had to defy orders, even while our mayor is asking the public to call police if they suspect anyone of violating the governor's orders.
I just want you to know that while there are many people who seem to be paving the road to hell with good intentions, there are many of us who take our oaths to the Constitution with grave seriousness.
I hope, God willing, that this passes soon and cooler heads will prevail.
Thanks again for the service you've done for the country.
Blah, blah, blah.
Thank you very much.
I find great hope in this.
You know, yesterday I watched
Mr.
Smith goes to Washington with the kids.
And they were like, the ones that don't have color.
Why?
It's black and white.
I don't want your show.
And Cheyenne said afterwards, this is one of my favorite movies.
It's a really great story.
And if that isn't the story of our times, I mean, think of the guts that it took in 1939
to make that movie, where the movie is about graft in the Senate and passing these big, these huge bills just to save the farmers and the workers.
But what's tucked inside of the bills is toxic.
And Jimmy Stewart is sent to Washington and he doesn't know anything about it.
And he figures it out along the way and stops it.
Think of that in 1939, but think about that today.
That's exactly what's going on today.
And Thomas Massey is Mr.
Smith.
I think that's a good analogy.
He really is.
And he's getting the same kind of flack, too, from both sides of the aisle.
And it's really a shame because he's such a good guy, a patriot, a true conservative, and he's getting hammered.
He's, I mean, is there anybody who's other than us in this room that are siding with Thomas Massey right now?
I don't think so.
I think, yeah, I think
Shapiro is, isn't he?
Yeah, I think there are.
Maybe.
Maybe Shapiro.
But
they're few and far between.
I think Mark Levin is as well.
I'm not sure.
I will say that I know we can fast forward a year or two, and there will be a lot of people who very much embrace the idea that the spending of $2.2 trillion was probably worth a vote.
You know,
it's a lot of people.
Go on the record for it.
You know, it's a wild theory that a couple trillion dollars, the biggest package we've ever put together in U.S.
history, maybe we should have had the representatives on the record as to where they felt on that.
I don't know.
That's pretty picky.
Wildly picky, if that's what you're saying.
Yeah.
It's true.
I have to tell you,
I think that there is
something bad brewing,
possibly.
You know, the stock market, everybody's talking about the stock market's coming back up.
Look, the stock market's still.
Of course, the stock market is doing well.
They just got $2 trillion from the Fed.
Of course, the stock market is doing well.
This idea about the stock market being our benchmark, and nobody is talking about the small businessman in America, is sickening.
I mean, I really think every time I see, did you guys see the story of the
Chiron and MSNBC from
Jim Kramer?
He was doing a deal where he said the stock market had its best day since 1939.
Well, of course it was.
Jim, this doesn't have anything to do with anything.
There are no metrics involved on anything anymore.
Say what you want.
The reason why the stock market is doing well is because they've already got their money and we all paid for it.
Every taxpayer paid $16,500.
That's the chain around our neck.
We each paid that.
And most taxpayers are not going to get the $1,200
as a free gift from the United States government.
So wait a minute, I paid $1,650 and you're giving me $1,200 back.
I don't think that sounds like a good deal because I'm not helping saving the businesses in my neighborhood.
They're all standing in line and everybody's saying, well, no, you don't have
the right parameters.
You haven't been in business long enough.
You know, you don't have this.
You don't have this.
Or we're already out of money.
Oh, okay.
Well, that sounds like they're really bailing out Main Street.
I think there's trouble coming.
Real trouble.
It's hard for me to believe, too, that they, look, they approved $350 billion for the small business loan plan, the PPP.
And
it's already going to be empty.
The only reason it's not empty yet is because they've had so many delays, but it's like they all know it's going over.
They've already asked for another $250 billion,
which
they have not approved.
And now they're not going to be in session until at least May 8th is the earliest they're going to have a chance to vote on this with the current schedule.
All of these small businesses, all of these small businesses.
They're all going out of businesses.
They're all going out of business.
And the only business that will be left are the big businesses in America.
And that's not who we are.
We are not just Procter and Gamble and Amazon.
We are the Amazon that was at the beginning.
We're the Microsoft with Bill Gates in his garage.
That's who we are.
We're the ones where a guy has an idea and he starts to build it.
If you get rid of all of the entrepreneurs, if you get rid of all of these people who
you get rid of all the people who are struggling but making it,
what do you have left?
I don't want to,
I'm not interested in saving GE and Procter and Gamble and Amazon.com.
They got enough.
Oh, and by the way, did you also see that the airlines got the bailout?
But Donald Trump insisted that they not only
pay it back, which I'm fine with.
I'm great with that.
but he also insisted that we get a piece of it, that the United States government becomes a co-owner in these airlines.
Excuse me?
No, thank you.
I don't think the United States government should have anything to do with any business whatsoever, period.

Our next guest grew up on a farm and a ranch in Hamlin County, South Dakota.
From the time she could walk, she worked beside her dad on the ranch and worked with horses and cattle, and maybe that's what gave her a little bit of extra common sense.
She's now serving as South Dakota's 33rd governor, and she joins us now.
Hello, governor.
How are you?
Hi, Glenn.
I'm doing good.
It's great to have you on.
I want to go over what you announced on Monday and what you're doing and why this sets you guys apart from everybody else
with hydroxychloroquine.
Yeah, we did.
We announced the first statewide, state-backed clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine.
We really desired to go on offense against this virus.
So we partnered with our health care systems.
Leading the clinical trial will be Sanford Health.
But we also have two other systems within the state of South Dakota that are participating as well to to make sure that we're getting a wide swath of individuals participating in this trial.
So it will be the first ever statewide one and one that a state is helping to fund and facilitate that will encompass virtually
80 to 90 percent of our doctors in the state and up to 100,000 people throughout the process.
So we're focused on making sure that we're not just dealing with taking care of our people, but also putting the research in to make sure we have a long-term solution to help fight this virus.
And what made you decide to do this?
I mean, if you look at the press, everyone is downplaying hydroxychloroquine.
Well, we have a health care system, Sanford, that's world-renowned for their research abilities, and they've been working in several different areas.
To have that kind of capacity in our state is a real gift to us.
And I was watching what was happening across the country and everybody reacting to the virus and not being proactive to really make sure we were getting in front of it, that we could give a therapeutic to folks so that they didn't necessarily have to hide from the virus.
They could get out there and fight it off and make sure that they could get back to their daily lives as well.
So for me, it's part of the solution.
You know, we're doing some
recommendations to folks to follow CDC guidance, and we're also making sure that we're using technology to do contact tracing, but then having the ability to have this drug trial in our state for such a wide percentage of our population allows us to really go on offense and go after this and make sure we have an option for those individuals who do get sick.
When I heard about this, that you were going to do this last weekend, I knew you were going to be dragged through the mud by the press.
Washington Post didn't
pull any punches on that.
It gave the
expected response.
They said that you were the one who said there's not going going to be a statewide order to stay home.
It's the individuals, not the government should decide.
And now you've got a meat processing plant with 400 people that are sick.
Do you want to respond to that at all?
Well, you know, that article is completely inaccurate.
And it doesn't surprise me because I've seen it a lot, not just in national press, but even here locally with details being left out of articles.
But, you know, the pork processing plant that we do have today that's a hotspot, that we have an outbreak going on there is a critical infrastructure business regardless on if I had chosen to put a shelter in place order across the state of South Dakota that plant would have been up and operating because it's such an important part of our food supply and it frankly having it running is a national security issue so that would have not impacted that issue but you know the post decided to not use the facts and run with an agenda that that I think is unfortunate for the public.
I think it's a grave disservice to our public when they don't tell all the facts because they're misleading them and creating this fear culture.
At a very important time to discredit people that are scientists, our doctors, our researchers, our elected officials during a period of time when we need to rely on the fact that they have information and have access to information.
To do that at an important time like this when literally it's the difference between life and death, I think is a shame.
Now you have, because there are those cases for the meat processing plant, but outside of that,
how many people are sick in your state?
We have less than a thousand positive COVID-19 cases in the state of South Dakota.
About 300 of them are recovered,
but the vast majority of the cases are tied to this meat processing plant and in that county that's affected.
So we have over 500 cases that are tied directly to that incident there.
So we are also coming up with more positive cases because we're aggressively testing in that area.
You know, we put all of our resources there to be proactively testing people, isolating them, doing the contact tracing to tamp it down.
So the rest of our state is doing very, very well.
And we'll get this one under control and make sure that we're slowing down the spread.
But I think what I've constantly had to remind the public is the science of this virus tells us we can't stop it.
So we have to use the facts that we have in front of us just to slow it down so that we can take care of people in our health care systems.
So that's been my constant message to the people of South Dakota and that all the control in the world is in their hands, that they have a personal responsibility to make good decisions to take care of themselves and their families.
And I will do all that I can to partner with them, but ultimately that responsibility does lie with them.
So
before we change subjects, I want to stay on the meat processing plant one more time because I want to get ahead of something that I think could be damaging from the other side, the conspiracy theory side.
This is a
meat processing plant that had been sold to China.
And I know that there have been stories, then
people have been saying, oh, it's Chinese meat.
It's not Chinese meat.
It's all American meat.
It's just owned by China.
But have you found patient zero yet?
Was there anyone in the factory that had traveled to China or somebody from China that traveled to the factory or not?
Do you know?
We do know who patient zero is because we obviously have identified every single person and have been working with them in the state of South Dakota that did test positive.
We do not have any ties
to China from this outbreak at this plant.
And I think that You know,
this is a plant that originally there was a couple of positive cases, but a lot of the spread that we're seeing is happening outside the plant.
The plant is on pause right now.
We've seen a growth in cases, but a lot of the folks who work here to deliver our nation's food supply, you know, they live in close quarters.
They've got a lot of family members and neighbors in housing developments that are
sometimes two to three generations very closely living together.
So a lot of that spread is happening at home.
And this plant in particular has up to I think 70 different languages spoken at it there's 3,700 employees there
so you know there's it's a unique situation that that I think you know people have been blaming blaming the plant and when a lot of the spread is happening outside of the walls of the plant and that's why we have a pause going on to put up mitigation measures inside the plant and then also do an education process with a lot of the folks that work there.
I have a guest on who is a guy who watches the cattle auctions and
he's really big in the cattle industry and people would know him.
The average media person would not.
But he just issued a report recently that said that we have plenty of cattle.
There's lots of cattle coming up ready for auction, but
there's no slaughterhouses.
There are no processing plants to get this meat from farm to table.
How concerned are you about the food supply when it comes to meat?
Well, a small disruption in the system
has huge effects across our food supply chain.
And that's one of the reasons that this plant is so important.
This is a pork processing plant, but it's the same in the cattle industry.
And we have...
It's the largest pork plant in the country, is it not?
It is.
It's very large, and it feeds other plants that refine the products even more that end up on your grocery store shelves.
So we have 550 producers, you know, and a lot of them, South Dakota producers, that take their hogs there.
And then that food ends up, you know, right here on American shelves to
feed folks each and every day.
And, you know, the virus does not travel through food products.
So that is one thing that I think we have to really be aggressive in telling folks as they get concerned about the food that would be coming through this plant.
And that just absolutely is not even a factor.
The food is wonderful, and it will be safe for people to eat.
But, you know, I think in the cattle market, too, we see a lot of manipulation.
There's some investigations that need to happen with our packing industry and control.
And as this gets streamlined and as it becomes more and more efficient, it also allows for a few players to manipulate the markets and the supply chain.
And that's why I've said for years, Glenn, and I haven't known you for years, but I have said for years that it's important we keep family farms because it's important we grow our own food in this country.
We never want another country to control our food supply because then they control us.
And if we have one or two people controlling the whole supply chain, we're in the exact same situation.
So
this diversity, having 550 different producers that feed into this one plant,
is important because it's diversity and
it's making sure that we do have a national security issue taken care of because we don't have one person controlling our entire food supply.
I think the America First, or as the hippies would say, think globally, act locally, is beginning to ring true to more and more Americans right now.
It is.
I think there's a lot of things that are ringing true to Americans today.
It's about the importance of this country, what makes us special, the importance of the Constitution, what powers it gives to the people and to the states and to the federal government.
And I've decided that every opportunity I have, I'm going to use it to educate folks really on why
the United States of America is the best country in the world and why it deserves to be preserved.
And in times of crisis is when you see people
overstep and grab power.
And we're seeing that in so many places of the country.
And I took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States when I served in Congress.
And I took an oath to uphold the Constitution here in the state of South Dakota.
And I'm constantly guided and using that as my foundation in every decision that I make and then talking about it to people about why it's important.
I think a lot of people think in a time of crisis is when you can wave that aside and take any action you think is necessary.
I think that's when our Constitution and foundations become even more important because it helps you make wise decisions based on facts and based on science and not be manipulated emotionally into making poor decisions that aren't for the benefit of the people.
You know, it's amazing to me.
A, you're exactly right
on
when the Constitution matters is when it's popular to do the other thing.
It was also amazing to me that people
have
flocked to the government taking more and more power, and that you have been such an outlier and been hammered by the national press
because you gave, I think, some of the, you've given some of the best statements of anyone in this crisis talking about the rights of the people, and it's up to the people to take care of themselves.
Has it been shocking to you to be on the receiving end of such backlash just for standing standing up for the American principle?
No, I would say it hasn't been.
I mean I think I came from this wanting to be
I wanted to be a farmer and rancher my whole life.
My whole life kind of got turned upside down when my dad was killed in an accident.
But you know, I served in the state legislature.
I was in leadership here.
I went to Congress for eight years.
I got a good education on the divisiveness of politics and the national media.
I would say that
I have to keep my focus on, I do my job and I take my job very seriously.
And I also know that when I campaign for a role, I tell people who I am and what my
what kind of person I am, my values and my beliefs, and show them and talk to them about how I will use those to make decisions that are best for them.
And I also will be accountable to explaining that to them.
So while we've done a great job here in South Dakota taking care of folks and doing all that we can to get ahead of this virus and be proactive, I think it's also important to remind people
about the rights that they have individually as well too.
So many times
I see people wanting somebody else to make decisions for them when in reality
they need to recognize the value and the special thing we have in this country is we get to make these decisions for ourselves.
I have the
stations.
I know I'm running really late.
Let me just ask one more quick question of the governor and that is when are we going to see any results from the testing that you're doing now with hydroxychloroquine?
Well, we have patients on hydroxy today.
I asked the White House and the administration if they would help us by supplying 1.2 million doses of hydroxy to participate in this trial.
There'll be two different branches of the trial.
One that will be for COVID-19 positive patients.
The other branch will be for those that have been exposed and also for health care workers and individuals that are high risk.
Again, these trials, we have enough doses to treat up to 100,000 people in the state of South Dakota.
And having all three of our systems on board makes it extremely comprehensive.
So they are on it.
It is starting.
It is all voluntary.
And people are excited about having an option option that they can go to with their doctors that not only will help them feel better and save their, possibly save their families' lives, but also lead to a long-term solution to fight off this virus and potentially more in the future.
The South Dakotans have always stepped up and been willing to contribute in ways above and beyond what I think other folks across the country have.
I always say we punch above our weight, and I think that
we are definitely doing that, and people people are excited to be a part of the solution.
Really glad to see it, Governor.
Thank you so much.
We've been wanting to talk to you for a long time.
You have a bunch of fans at the Blaze and on the Glenn Beck program and all of the shows here.
Keep up the good work, and we'll keep you in our prayers.
Thank you so much.
It's Governor Christy Noam from
South Dakota.
That's promising, and finally, somebody is just going to do something about it instead of argue if it works or not.
Let's find out if it works.
Imagine a person standing on the side of the street wearing a sign that said, we'll perform abortions for spare change.
Are you going to slow your car down and throw them some change?
Every time you make a phone call, if you're
one of the big carriers, you are throwing that spare change into that person's
into their cup.
This is what major cell phones are doing.
They are helping support abortions.
They're fighting for the right for abortions.
They're fighting against Second Amendment Amendment rights.
So just think of every time you make a phone call and you pay your bill, some of that money is going to those organizations.
Stop it right now.
You do have a choice.

Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
I don't know if you saw this news.
Yes, it is time for another profile.
In courage.
Yesterday,
a man who has faced big decisions in his past,
probably one of the hardest decisions in over 400 years, according to his vice president,
he was the man who had to make that agonizing decision on whether to kill Osama bin Laden.
Yeah, it was tough.
It took him six or eight months to make that decision, but he did it.
He did it.
He rolled the dice and said, yeah, I think this might be the right thing to do.
My gosh, what a hero he was.
But he hasn't stopped there.
Yesterday, former president, oh, that feels good saying that, former president Barack Obama
has come out.
And he's thrown the dice down on the table and he said, yeah, Joe Biden for president.
I don't care who else is running.
But Joe Biden for president.
I don't even care that Joe Biden said and asked me not to endorse him.
I'm going to do it anyway because that's the kind of guy he is.
Barack Obama, another
profile in courage, courage, courage, courage.

Glenn Beck's Arguing with Socialists is available now.
This
is the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to it.
It is Wednesday.
I wanted to get somebody on to talk about meat shortages.
NPR just wrote this amazing story.
I mean, I was worried about how to present this because I don't want you to panic and I don't want you to panic by because there's no reason for that.
This is a short-term problem and it's going to cause a blip.
But listen to this.
U.S.
meat supply is perilously close to a shortage, CEO warns.
And it goes on to say, it's impossible to keep our grocery store stock if plants are not running.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Nowhere in there does it say, hey, keep calm.
This is a temporary, but it is a problem, but a temporary problem.
And I want to lead with that.
There's no reason to panic by any meat, but we do have a blip coming our way.
And I wanted to get somebody who, you know, just is a common person who knows this stuff, but isn't some sort of highfalutin New York expert.
It's Corbett Wall.
He is a livestock market analyst, commercial cattle manager,
and you can find him at his website, dvauction.com and nationalbeefwire.com.
He's a guy who's grown up with this and watches this and gives a
cattle report on his website.
And he's been watching what's happening.
We have plenty of cattle, not a lot of processing plants.
And we welcome him to the program now, Corbett Wall.
Hi, Corbett.
Hi, Glenn.
How are you?
I'm very good.
Welcome back to the great state of Texas, by the way.
You bet.
Thanks a lot.
Glad to be here.
You bet.
I wanted to talk to you about
something that you had in your last report.
I watched it,
and without panicking, you are pointing that there is plenty of cattle and plenty of auctions, but
not a lot of places for the cattle to go.
Exactly.
Enlighten us.
The COVID deal has really
scared and shut down these packing plants.
The frontline workers that work in those plants, they work very close proximity to each other, not so much during the slaughter process, but during the fabrication.
Typically, they would be shoulder to shoulder cutting meats up and and working like that.
And the fear and
the outbreak of the COVID in those plants has just brought them to their knees.
And not only is the sickness in there,
folks are scared that they're going to get it.
They're scared to come to work.
They're calling in sick.
Their kids are
out of school.
There's nobody there to take care of them.
You know, those folks aren't making a lot of money.
Then we come in with
this help from the government.
They get to where they can stay home,
draw unemployment, get the bonus that comes with the unemployment, and then get their stimulus check.
That's not far from what they were making working.
So it doesn't behoove them to really come to work.
Then on top of that, you've got the unions coming in, which most all of them are union workers.
The unions are taking advantage of the situation to try to leverage for more money from the Packers.
So we have, what, 6,500 processing plants in the U.S.?
That's right, Glenn.
Somewhere in there, but a lot of those are very, very small.
You know, I'm talking about the big plants
that harvest over a thousand animals a day.
And
how many of those are there, and how many are closed?
Well, you know, I primarily look at the cattle.
So the beef plants,
and I got word that there's another three going down today.
We're probably working towards a dozen major plants that are shut down from Souderton, Pennsylvania, all the way to Pasco, Washington, and all places in between.
And
how many really significant plants do we have?
What kind of dent is that putting into this?
That's going to be a huge dent.
That's probably close to a third of the major beef plants in the United States.
And we're definitely going to have a protein shortage.
So, what does that mean?
Talk to the person who's going to the grocery store.
What does that mean, and when are we expecting this to hit?
Okay,
typically, most consumers that go into the grocery store store don't have a clue where their food comes from.
And we've just evolved to the point where folks don't have an Uncle Joe or Grandpa Bill that lived on a farm and they went and spent the summer with them.
And now that we don't have that anymore with this last generation, they don't know where the food comes from.
And it's been a proven fact that most of your school children in your major population areas, they can't draw a line from a cow to a hamburger and from a pig to a piece of bacon.
They just don't have any concept of that.
So, a lot of consumers come in, they think that your meat is made in the back room of the butcher shop or the
grocery store.
They really don't know where that comes from.
And they don't think about when they're out driving in the country and they pass by a pasture full of cows that
that's where that comes from.
But
we're going,
as far as beef, we usually consume about 80% of the beef we produce here in this country, and then about 20% of it's for export.
But we're going to be down over 20%
now.
And so we're not going to have enough to feed ourselves as far as beef.
And the pork and the chicken are right there, too.
And so when should this hit?
When will we start seeing this shortage?
I think think we'll start seeing it in our retail markets
probably by the end of the month, for sure, by the 1st of May.
And how long do you think it will look?
It just depends on how long
this COVID scare happens.
If we start to open things up a little bit and people get back to work, and then plant workers look around and everybody else is going to work, they're going to start going to work.
If we could get the schools open,
things like that.
As soon as we get back to work, it's amazing how fast they can catch up.
And so
it shouldn't last any longer than how much longer the shutdown lasts from here on.
But
we're definitely going to be kind of short of product, and it kind of depends on how we approach it.
It's kind of like a bank scare.
You don't really have a problem until everybody thinks there's a problem and then you've got a big one
so
what should the average person do
well i would uh we don't want to cause a run on the bank if you will but we do no we don't you know i would buy
i would buy larger cuts of meat than you than you typically buy uh
take them home and then portion them out in ziploc bags uh use your freezer uh Your meat lasts for a long time in the freezer, and
do that.
Pick dishes that uses meat as a complement rather than the main course,
like pasta with meat sauce and things like that, to be able to use it.
But
I think the awareness from the general public of where your meat comes from and how important our farmers and ranchers are is probably at a high.
I I will tell you, well, I'm a rancher myself, and
I can never predict what's going to happen with cattle prices or anything.
What is this going to do to the farmers, the ranchers, the people who have the cows?
They're in dire straits right now, as bad as they've ever seen it.
The packing plants have a complete and total monopoly.
over the livestock business.
And your producers are always left holding the bag whenever we have a crisis, crisis, no matter what it is, whether it's a mad cow outbreak or anything like that.
You just
the Packers gouge the consumers on one end and then they manipulate the market on the other end.
And during this big run-up, which during this COVID-19, we've seen a huge run-up in boxed beef cutout values.
And then they've been very volatile since then, up and down.
But during the run-up, we saw that your Packers were making an additional $400
per carcass or per head.
At the same time,
your cattle feeders were taking less money for their cattle.
That's crazy.
It is crazy.
This system on,
it never pays the rancher.
It never pays the farmer.
It is...
I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
It's just nuts.
It's criminal.
And Sonny Perdue has asked for an investigation for your Packers.
You've got four Packers
that process 85% of your beef.
And it's just
so much easier to get four heads together than 400 or 4,000 or 40,000.
And the collusion and the strong arming is just,
it's about
we should be cutting our meat closer to our homes.
Exactly.
But
I think we're all learning that now.
For sure.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it, Corbett.
Thank you.
And hopefully, you bet.
Hopefully nobody panics and goes out and
don't do a toilet paper thing.
Just make sure that you take care of your family and warn others.
It's going to pass.
It's just going to be a shortage for a few weeks until these things begin to open up.
So
on top of hopefully having a job, you've also become a full-time chef, a full-time school teacher, a full-time fight referee.
Oh, my, that's been fun.
Imagine
that your house could get any crazier.
I can't.
And there's no more eyes that I can keep on things.
So I need some help, and you do too.
I want to tell you about Norton 360.

With the health of America's future at stake, Glenn reveals the real cure.
Watch Arguing with Healthcare Socialist tonight at 9 p.m.
Eastern at Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
Tonight, you don't want to miss tonight's episode, man, because what is happening around the world is so clear.
There is a clear winner when it comes to healthcare, and it is not socialized medicine.
It is as different and as stark as night and day.
And arm yourself with the facts because they're all saying it now.
Oh, look, this is proof we need socialized medicine.
Really?
It is?
Can you help me out with any facts on that?
Tonight, arguing with socialists on my TV program, the Wednesday night special on Glenn TV, you can find it at blazetv.com if you're a subscriber.
Also, you can find it at
Pluto TV, and I think we're doing it on our YouTube channel.
So don't miss it tonight at 9 o'clock.
I continue to be amazed by the,
you mentioned this with the governor governor of South Dakota earlier.
They're doing this test on hydroxychloroquine.
And it's this thing that, like, is used as a media tactic to go after the president as if they're rooting for it to fail.
I mean, it seems as if they want it to fail so they can prove him wrong, which again, I don't think Trump has ever said it's definitely going to work.
He said he's not a doctor.
I mean, Jim Acosta was again going after him.
I just heard him the other day, again, saying,
talk to your doctor about it.
Talk to your doctor.
Yeah, I mean, it's very possible that the answer to this might be that it helps some people and not others.
But wouldn't that be great?
Yep.
That would be fantastic.
Here is Jim Acosta going after him again.
And earlier today, we should point out the president was continuing to tout hydroxychloroquine, even though the malaria drug is still not a proven treatment for the coronavirus.
It's not proven.
I mean, they're in the middle of the studies, but they've done these studies.
They're advancing them much quicker than a normal study.
However, However, they do believe it's going to be weeks and weeks and weeks, likely well past the peak of this, at least current wave of this virus, before we actually get results.
So we're going to let all these people suffer without this possible treatment because the president
keeps touting it.
It's not like it's a new drug.
You know, it's nothing new on the market.
It has been out forever.
People have taken it.
We know what the risks are.
If you take it in very high doses, you could go blind, but that's over years of taking very high doses.
This is a very small risk to take
at the doses they're talking about.
And now they're starting to say, yeah, well, people have heart problems with this.
This is causing heart palpitations and heart problems, and it's really dangerous.
No, it's not.
No, if you've talked to a doctor, you know that that is in combination with a ZPAC.
When you put those two drugs together, then then you might have a heart problem.
And every doctor will tell you,
I would feel comfortable just with hydroxychloroquine, but I would not feel comfortable unless you were being monitored and you were in a hospital of adding any other drug with that because it does cause heart problems.
Well, who's getting it?
The people who are in the hospital.
They're the only people that are getting that combination of drugs.
What are we doing?
What is wrong with the press they just are so crazed and they're driven by their hatred instead of their love of country
yesterday I was out because
I mean some people might say that it was Easter candy related, but I don't think it, I don't think it was at all.
Just that I've just been eating like a glutton uh lately and that is because of my rek tech grills i'm not doing the easter candy on the grill but i am smoking meat we had unbelievable hamburgers yesterday uh rek tech grill is just the best grill you can buy
and for the money dollar for dollar it is far superior than the closest competitor it's built by grillers for grillers it's high-tech it's easy to use it uses wood pellets it feeds them in automatically I mean, you can be a complete dummy like I am and just have some of the best smoked foods you've ever had.

Hello, America.
It's Wednesday, and we have our coronavirus update.
More than just the numbers, we've got the latest on the WHO and that amazing memo from Taiwan and so much more.
Are we at the peak?
It looks like it.
And we'll tell you about it in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
All right, so if you're one of those people like I used to be who suffers from frequent, unrelenting pain, it is time for you to get proactive.
You know what causes most of our pain?
I didn't know this.
In fact, I didn't believe it for a long time.
Inflammation.
Our joints and everything swells in our body, and that lights the pain reactors up like a Christmas tree in our body.
Maybe you've lived with this for a long time and you just want it to end.
I know I've been there.
May I just ask you, please try Relief Factor.
Relief Factor at relief factor.com works for 70% of the people who take it.
I take it three times a day.
And there is a huge difference in my life and in my pain.
It's gone most days.
800, 500, 83, 84.
800, 500, 83, 84.
Just try it for three weeks.
Try the quick start.
If it works in three weeks, it's going to work for you for a long, long time.
I've been taking it for two years.
If it doesn't work in three weeks, it's most likely not going to work.
But please, 70% of the people who try it go on to have less pain in their life and they order it every month.
It's Relief Factor.
ReliefFactor.com.
That's relief factor.com, or you can call them 800-500-8384.
All right, let's do our coronavirus update.
The case worldwide now over 2 million.
Really, only up 40,000, 50,000 from yesterday, which is great.
Total confirmed deaths worldwide, up only 7,000.
Total confirmed recovered, almost 500,000.
The U.S.
now has 614,000 confirmed cases and 26,000 deaths.
That is up from yesterday, quite a bit.
587 yesterday
and 23,644 deaths yesterday.
The U.S.
now leads the world in both total cases and deaths from COVID-19, but it is 15th in deaths per 1 million people, 19th in cases per 1 million people.
Officially, all 50 states now have at least one death attributed to COVID-19.
Just a note,
on the scale side, if you will, traffic-related fatalities in the U.S.
were down by 23%
as opposed to the same month in 2019.
So we saved some lives by not going out and doing anything.
Are we at the peak?
We think it was the peak yesterday.
The death toll in the U.S.
increased after New York included at-home COVID-19 fatalities for the very first time.
They had 270 deaths yesterday that were attributed to the virus from people who died at home in New York City.
New York City's health department says the total death toll now is 10,000, including the 3,700 total deaths that were added on Tuesday.
That included the backlog of several thousand people who died at home and were not counted as COVID-19 deaths.
Health officials have cautioned the deaths are a lagging indicator.
They don't mean that the sweeping stay-at-home restrictions are a failure.
The peak in deaths across the U.S.
is expected this week, according to the CDC.
So
the WHO, do we have the audio of Donald Trump yesterday in an announcement in the Rose Garden?
He said this.
I'm instructing my administration to halt
funding of the World Health Organization while a review is conducted to assess the World
Health Organization's role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus.
Everybody knows what's going on there.
American taxpayers provide between $400 million and $500 million per year to the WHO.
In contrast, China contributes roughly $40 million a year and even less.
As the organization's leading sponsor, the United States has a duty to insist on full accountability.
One of the most dangerous and costly decisions from the WHO was its disastrous decision to oppose travel restrictions from China and other nations.
They were very much opposed to what we did.
Fortunately, I was not convinced and suspended travel from China.
All right.
So here's the real
bell that rang yesterday.
It is
a memo from December 2019 from epidemiologists in Taiwan.
They issued an urgent memo to the WHO about numerous cases of atypical pneumonia in Wuhan, China.
And the memo suggests that there is human-to-human transmission and urge the WHO to
prevent
further testing to find the pathogen.
The WHO ignored the warnings from Taiwan and continued to reiterate all of China's false talking points, that there was no evidence of human-human transmission, that it was no big deal.
And that went on until January 14th.
Remember, this is in December.
This is before anybody really even knows about it.
Two days earlier, by January 12th, more than 700 people had been hospitalized.
102 had died in Wuhan.
They failed to mandate that Chinese officials share the strains that would have allowed all kinds of diagnostic tests.
Taiwan was way ahead of this.
Here's the problem.
Why didn't the WHO listen to the epidemiologists from Taiwan?
I'm not making this up because Taiwan doesn't exist.
Taiwan is just an arm of China.
And so we don't accept any information from Taiwan.
We get all of our information about China from Jed.
Jeda.
Here's the problem with the withholding of the funding.
Congress holds the purse strings.
Will Congress hold back that money and stop paying the WHO?
My guess, no.
So is social distancing actually happening?
A study of mobile phone data shows only 35% of Americans are following stay-at-home orders across the U.S.
I find this story absolutely infuriating.
A study including thousands of mobile phones tracked from all 50 states.
On average, they say Americans were still taking two non-work-related trips out by car per day.
Utah, Colorado, New Mexico were the worst offending states with over 2.5 non-working trips out of the house by car each day.
Stu
you're a numbers guy.
Yes.
Any questions on this study at this point?
Because that doesn't seem right.
Does it?
35% of Americans are staying home.
Everybody else is violating this right i i totally question their their the the the assumptions of the study right like it just because you're going out of your house a couple of times does not mean you're not doing the whole social distancing thing
right
if you're going out first of all right we all have uh
we can go to get uh groceries we can go for a drive and not end up anywhere you can go out to get gas you can go out to do lots of things what do you mean non-essential trips that's a bizarre way of looking at it uh-huh
So
these trips include fast food restaurants, which you can go into a fast food restaurant and you can be completely safe.
That's part of it.
It includes hardware stores and home improvement stores.
And that one.
That one's a little dicey because I think it is essential for our sanity to be able to go to the Home Depot and do some things around the house.
Otherwise, there's nothing else we can do.
But so hardware stores, which which is they are essential.
They're on the essential
list.
And the other one is grocery stores.
Well, all of those are on the essential list.
Two of them are food.
What are you talking about?
It's a stupid study.
And not to mention, I hate the fact that they, I mean, I get it.
We all know our data is out there, but the fact that these people are so easily able to put together these tracking studies of everywhere we've gone is
revealing.
feeling that's what it should be.
I want a study on how fast these guys have found ways to track all of us.
And nobody seems to have a problem about it.
By the way, Texas was among the most compliant states with just below two trips out per person per day so far in April.
I think this is garbage.
I'd like to know with the 2.5 non-work trips, I'd like to know if they went to hardware stores, grocery stores, or restaurants, I count that as incompliance.
So what's the real number?
Now, here's the latest study on COVID and how it's spread.
Air conditioning systems may help spread the virus.
My comment, I don't care.
If you think I'm going to turn off my air conditioning unit, I'm not going to.
Take me to prison, burn me at the stake.
I'm not shutting off my air conditioning unit.
Period.
By the way, five new viruses have been found to live in bats.
My comment?
Can we stop experimenting with bats?
I'm just saying,
might be a good idea.
And finally, the CDC's plan to reopen America.
And this one's better than the California list.
Any state reopening must meet four conditions.
The incident of infection is genuinely low.
Now, what does that mean?
What is genuinely low, Stu?
Is New York genuinely low?
No, I would say definitely New York is not
genuinely low.
And the problem here, of course, is testing
is not even.
Uh-huh.
Okay, like, for example,
we're doing far less tests than some other states here in Texas, even though we have a large population.
It's also not randomized.
So we're not just taking people off the street and finding out if they have COVID-19.
That way you'd be able to tell how many people are actually sick and asymptomatic and contagious.
We're instead just testing people with symptoms.
But still, I mean, you can get something out of that.
I don't know what they have to have an actual metric, though.
They can't just say, eh, kind of low.
Genuinely low.
Genuinely low.
They can't say that.
No.
You got to come up with some sort of metric.
Right.
The next one is a well-functioning monitoring system capable of promptly detecting any increase in incidence of infection.
What the hell is that?
What does that mean?
A well-functioning monitoring system?
Excuse me?
Part of that is quick reporting, right?
Like on these cases.
We've noticed one thing that is really frustrating is Sundays and Mondays tend to have really bad reporting because they're reporting the deaths from the previous day and those days are weekend days.
So like these deaths are happening, but they're not getting reported for two and three days, which is why yesterday's number was the highest it was.
But the day before that was a really encouraging number.
So it could be that.
You know, I keep going back to this thing with the thermometers where they have these internet-connected thermometers.
Akinza is one of the brands.
And they have a sort of a heat map that was able to detect a lot of these breakouts early because a lot of people were taking their temperature and they were seeing fevers.
Like if we're going to spend another $2 trillion, let's say, on another package, maybe it would make sense to
optionally, and that's important, optionally provide these types of thermometers to people so they can take their temperature and we can have, again,
aggregated data, not specific to you, but aggregated data so we can see when there's a flare-up in a particular area and we should increase testing there, right?
Like that type of stuff makes sense.
It doesn't seem like anybody's talking about that, but
what they're talking about, the way you do this, of course, is South Korea or Hong Kong or
those types of situations, which there's way too much monitoring there to fit into our Constitution.
So I don't know how you do this exactly while maintaining the rights that we are supposed to have in this country.
Well, you'll get your rights back as soon as you do these four things, and I'm only on thing number three.
Okay.
The public health system is reacting robustly to all cases of COVID-19 and has surge capacity to react to an increase in cases.
Okay.
We shouldn't have to do that.
At this point, I mean, this is the United States of America here.
A health system that has enough inpatient beds and staffing to rapidly scale up and deal with a surge in cases.
Well, two
out of the four seem not real vague and seem like we should be able to do it, but what is reacting robustly to all cases of COVID-19?
I have no idea.
This is the CDC's
standard on being able to open the country back up and let you out of your house.
This is insane that we're even talking about this.
This is child's play compared to what California is asking for and how they're going to open up California again.
We are headed for an interesting few weeks, to say the least.
When it comes to identity theft, we all too often hear the, you know, the light cases someone gets his or her card stolen and the bank shut it off, has to wait a two a day or two for the the card to come back in the mail things like that but if someone stole your identity long enough to ruin your entire financial life that would be something well that happens all the time by the way did you hear that 500,000
identities were just sold on the dark web they were grabbed from zoom so if you've been making zoom calls your identity all your information may have just been sold on the dark web.
That's the kind of stuff that nobody is watching, I should say, except for Lifelock.
LifeLock is looking for these kinds of things.
Now, nobody can prevent all, you know, identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but they are looking to where this theft really happens.
And if they see your name or your information go by, it lights up and they call you.
And they don't just say, hey, by the way, boy, that was weird, huh?
Your identity was stolen.
They have a team that works to fix it with you.
So call 1-800-LifeLock or head over to lifelock.com and use the promo code back for 25% off.
1-800-Lifelock.com or Lifelock.com.
Use the promo code back.
1-800-LIFELOCK.
We pause for 10 seconds.
Station ID.
Hey, Stu, it's not just me that has noticed that the rentals on movies on Netflix and Amazon has gone way up.
Is it just me?
Well, are you talking about the movies that would normally be in theaters?
That's
well, I noticed it first on.
I noted it first on Trolls, and that was 20 bucks to rent it.
And then I just saw it on another one, and it may have have been a newish movie, but
the trolls movie is a good example of this.
So, Trolls was scheduled to come out in theaters
like now.
And instead, they released it to homes.
So, that is an in-theater movie ticket price, right?
So, you got $20.
Of course, our kids wanted to watch this.
They're seven and eight.
So, they rented it $20.
They got three viewings out of it, by the way, in three days.
That's because of our solid solid parenting.
Watch draws again.
Damn it.
Shut up.
But yeah, 20 bucks.
I like this model.
I hope this model continues after all of this crap goes away.
Because I'm a movie theater fan.
I love the dine-in theaters.
I'll pretty much stick any needle that Bill Gates comes up with in my arm so I can go back to
dine in the movie theaters.
But
I do appreciate the ability, especially with these kids' movies, to just be able to rent them at home instead of having to drag them all out to the theater if we don't have time.
It's a big deal for them.
It's a new movie that's out.
20 bucks.
It's not a bad deal.
I kind of hope it continues.
I don't know that the movie theaters will exist if it does continue.
I know.
Have you seen the Netflix, I don't know, share or whatever it is where you can watch it with friends now?
Oh, Netflix Party or something?
Yeah, something like that.
I've seen,
haven't actually done it nor you know like these that's the thing with these zoom calls let's be honest about it I don't want to see most of the people I talk to like I don't like I don't have like there's a lot of problems I'm having with these zoom calls because like things that can happen via email or call are now happening via zoom largely because we want to see other human beings generally but that doesn't mean i want to have a meeting and have to look at a person awkwardly for 20 minutes it's not really what i want out of life.
I don't think people.
Well, here's the thing.
Here's the one thing about this is in the Zoom call, there comes a point to where you're done.
You're done.
But you don't want to be the first person in the family to say, I'm done with you losers.
And
right?
Yeah.
And so
it goes probably 10 minutes longer than it should.
until no one says anything because somebody has to have the guts to go, okay, well, I think that's it.
Yeah, yeah, we did a call.
And nobody wants to be the first one to say no.
No, you don't want to be the person.
And I don't want to go.
I mean, I don't want to talk to you guys anymore.
You don't want to be the person who doesn't care about family and such.
We did a call on Easter
with a big group of family members, far too many, clearly, because we couldn't, I couldn't tell who was talking.
I couldn't see who, you know, what was going on.
I couldn't understand when I was supposed to talk or when I wasn't supposed to talk.
There's like more people that could fit on this than could fit on the screen.
So I couldn't see half the people who were in the middle of discussions.
And, you know, it became completely impossible because multiple people would talk at the same time.
So you couldn't hear any of them.
I mean, it really,
it is amazing that we're all just jumping into this life, you know, not by choice because it is not a, it's not fun.
Yeah.
And
you know what that's crazy is I'd never even heard of Zoom before the crisis.
Had you?
I I thought it was all Skype.
I remember it was on Skype and then or FaceTime.
I thought so too.
All right.
I never heard of it.
You get on and you're immediately made to feel like an old man, like Joe Biden, because I've never even seen this system before.
And so there's always somebody, and I was glad to say it wasn't me this time, but there's always somebody online, like, I don't, what button do I put?
Where do I, how do I.
Is the Glenbeck program ground, ground, ground?
All right.
Our sponsor this half hour is Goldline.
Say goodbye to the free market.
I don't even know what the stock market is anymore.
I mean, the stock market is just buy whatever the Fed is buying.
I'll have what they're having.
And I just, I will tell you, I got something from a stockbroker today, and he's like, you got to get back into the market.
I'm like, well, why?
Yeah, it'll go up, but it's going to come down because this is bogus.
I like something that means something.
I like things that have actual value, and that is gold.
I really want you to call and find out if this is right for you.
Please, please, things are changing.

Tonight, arguing with healthcare socialists, Glenn Beck News Special, Blazetv.com, use the promo code Glenn, save 30 bucks.
Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
It is Wednesday.
Tonight, on our Wednesday night special, we're going to be arguing with healthcare socialists.
We're going to show you the facts of socialized medicine.
Now is the time to just point out: hmm, looks like it's working pretty well compared to socialized systems and even those socialized systems in the United States.
We wanted to bring Dr.
Kelly Ward on.
She's a former Arizona state senator.
She is the one that ran against John McCain and
lost
by just a couple of points.
I think it was 51%.
It was the smallest margin he ever won by in a primary.
I'm sorry, she couldn't get that one done, but it was John McCain.
She is,
I'm not having her on because she, you know, is a Republican or the chairperson of the Arizona Republican Party.
I'm having her on because she's a doctor and she sees the world of socialized medicine kind of the same way I do.
And I wanted to talk to her about her observations on the healthcare system now.
Hey, Doc, how are you?
Hey, Glenn.
It's great to be with you.
Hey, and you know what?
You are somewhat responsible for my going, making the leap from total medicine into the political realm because back in 2010, I was listening to you and you said, everyone has something that they can offer.
And it made me realize I had skills, talents, and abilities that God had given me, and I should put them to work for as many people as possible.
And so I thank you for that.
Well, thank you, but don't blame me for anything to do with politics.
I also say, don't do it, don't do it.
But anyway,
so,
doctor, let me talk to you a little bit about what you're seeing now and the difference between American health care and socialized health care, even if it happens to be in America.
The sad part is that with the Affordable Care Act, the Unaffordable Care Act, Obamacare, American health care became much more socialized.
And I think we're seeing some of the fallout from that during this pandemic.
I have always been a fan of free market medicine.
I believe that we deserve the health care that we want, we need, we deserve, and we should not be waiting around for any government entity to be telling us what we get.
And right now, in Europe, certainly, in all of these socialized medicine countries, and and in places like New York that are extremely socialized in their medical care, basically we're told as consumers, as patients, that we get what we get and we don't throw a bit.
Be glad you have something because you could just have nothing.
Well, that is showing extreme failure across Europe
and across America in those hotspots that have allowed the government to take over so much of the business of medicine.
When you think
of
the best doctors in the world, the best hospitals in the world, you will automatically think of New York, et cetera, et cetera.
But here in Texas,
they have a shortage of hospitals and hospital rooms and everything else in New York.
We have fantastic doctors here and hospitals literally, literally, I live right down the street from a hospital that is almost always empty.
I mean,
brand new hospitals here.
What's the difference between New York and Texas?
Well, as we do in Arizona.
Arizona has wonderful health care.
And, you know, what we've learned is that we need to have extra capacity
at many times, but especially when we're facing a global pandemic.
And socialized medicine leads to the opposite of extra.
They don't want any extra supply.
It leads to rationing, and it can become deadly.
We are seeing it.
You probably saw the article by one of our old friends, Ezekiel Emmanuel,
one of the architects of Obamacare, basically advocating for taking people off ventilators that are sustaining their life because their lives aren't really worth that much anyway, and there's probably somebody else who's worth more.
That to me as a physician, that to me as a human, is sickening.
And that's what we see in socialized medicine.
It is.
Not only did he write that paper and he's been saying those things for a long time,
he is now Joe Biden's
main guy when it comes to healthcare.
He's the guy helping Joe Biden develop policy.
And he is a truly terrifying guy.
But it seems though,
we're talking to Dr.
Kelly Ward.
It seems as though The people of the United States are
kind of okay with going down this road in many ways.
For instance, I don't understand anyone who is coming up against
hydroxychloroquine.
It's not proven, but it is a proven drug.
It's not going to kill you.
If you're using it with your doctor, we have a, there's a story on the blaze that just came out.
The medical director of the resort nursing home in Texas City used the drug.
56 of the patients were testing positive for coronavirus, put them all on coronavirus.
They're all better in five days.
And yet you have governments saying, you know, for instance, in the governor of Michigan saying you could lose your license as a doctor if you use this.
What's happening to us?
Well, I think that a lot of people are waking up.
Thank goodness, Glenn, because
I think the vast majority of Americans would immediately object to the idea of a government official having the power to take an elderly person off a ventilator to make room for somebody else.
But that is life under a government-run health care system.
Having government bureaucrats and people who were elected to office
overrule physicians' evidence as well as experience in terms of treating our patients is appalling, and we have to say no.
And
just I think so many on the left worried about Donald Trump being right that they are willing to let people die.
You see it in Michigan.
And by the way, I loved your interview with Governor Noam from
South Dakota.
She is exactly right.
That's right.
She is maintaining the state constitution, the national constitution, individual liberty and freedom while protecting the people that are in her state and allowing them to individually govern.
We should see that across the nation.
And we're not.
I've been watching a lot of news from from overseas on the BBC, BBC England, not BBC America.
And
it's interesting to me how
they're almost in
this dream world of these heroic doctors and nurses at the NIH.
And the reason why they're heroic is because there's not enough beds.
There's not enough anything over there.
There's not enough money.
And people are doing fundraisers for the NIH.
And I just want to stop and look at them and say, you realize you're paying for that already in your taxes.
And they have done such a bad job that you're overrun, your hospitals are overrun when there isn't a pandemic.
But they have made this into some sort of a hero worship of the NIH, and it makes zero sense.
You're exactly right.
You're exactly right.
And that's why I've been a fierce fighter.
You've been a fierce fighter against socialized medicine in the United States.
It will destroy the excellence in health care that we have.
It will destroy access to care.
And we've seen that since 2010,
since Obamacare came onto the theme.
We have seen access to care go down, though the left would love you to think that just because someone has a piece of paper saying that they have some kind of health care insurance, that they are actually getting care.
They are not.
We are seeing our emergency departments overrun, not now during COVID, because now the people who don't really have emergencies aren't finding it as convenient to go to the emergency department because they're worried they're going to catch a deadly, potentially deadly illness.
So they're seeking care in the right way.
So we've got a lot of work to do, but especially having Emmanuel teaming up with Biden, we need to, especially Americans over the age of 50, better wake up because you could be rationed right out of health care.
And people under 50, you're going to pay for it.
So we need to fight for the free market health care system that we deserve.
We need to have physicians making decisions about clinical care of patients across the board.
And we need to have every option open to us to be able to save lives.
Okay, we're talking to Dr.
Kelly Ward, former Arizona State Senator, also head of the GOP in Arizona.
Let me ask you to take your doctor's hat off and put your political hat on here for a second.
There was just a story in the Hill.
Biden opens a nine-point lead over Trump in Arizona.
Good God Almighty, is that true?
I certainly do not see it on the ground.
I'd have to look at the poll, but they love to tout those polls
as though
President Trump is at risk from any of those Democrats, but especially from Joe Biden.
Joe Biden, who we've seen again and again and again on the campaign trail,
making gaffes,
his inability to put a sentence together, his inability to lead.
And that's all the Democrats have, sadly.
And
we really should be keeping our eyes open to whomever the Democrats decide to put on that ticket with Joe Biden, because my thought politically and just my own personal opinion is that whoever that vice president candidate is will be the president in the snap of a finger.
Yeah,
one last question.
I'm concerned about the bailout of the small businesses.
Again, Wall Street got their money.
The banks got their money.
You know, but J.P.
Morgan Chase is making it harder for individuals to get loans, et cetera, et cetera.
We are hearing from small businesses all over the country that say the loans are already gone or whatever.
I think Donald Trump is in real trouble if we don't react and make sure that it's not going to the Wall Street clowns and the banks, it's going to the people.
What are you hearing in Arizona?
Well, I see a lot of things being delivered to the little guy, to the individual.
I can tell you that in 2022, 2009, I owned my own business, a medical practice.
I also had a medical spa, and we had no assistance whatsoever from the Obama administration to the little guy.
That all went to the banks that were too big to fail.
President Trump and his administration have put things in place to actually help individuals, families, and small businesses.
I have been seeing reports that people's economic impact payments have been starting to go into their bank accounts and those should be even more delivered as of today.
One of our community banks, Horizon Community Bank in Lake Hattasu City in Arizona, they are delivering on the paycheck protection plan to those small businesses.
In normal functioning, they process about 20 loans per month, and they've done almost 400 in a span of a weekend.
So they are all working as diligently as they can.
And I think people are having more results with those community banks, who are also small businesses, in a sense, themselves, than they are from the big guys like J.P.
Morgan and Will Slargo.
I will tell you, I couldn't agree with you more.
And if you can do business with a local bank, get away from those big banks.
Do it with a local bank.
You will get a much better service.
The money is all local,
and they are in business just like you are.
Kelly, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.

Rough Greens is our sponsor, and I want to thank all of our sponsors for sticking in with us.
Rough Greens, my dog has always had a challenge of eating.
He's always hated eating.
He's never gained any weight.
And when I started putting Rough Greens onto his food, that all changed.
He loves, he runs to his bowl.
In fact, Easter morning, I got up and fed him.
My wife, I didn't know, had gotten up earlier and fed him.
He ate twice within an hour, and he was fine.
He didn't look at me like, you know, I haven't eaten in 12 hours, dad.
I'm telling you right now.
It was amazing.
Scammer.
Anyway, rough greens, he's eating it and he's gaining weight, but he's not gaining fat.
He is exercising more.
He's out, he's running, he's active.
It really makes all the difference.
It's a supplement that I want you to try with your dog, Rough Greens, R-U-F-F Greens, 14-day jumpstart challenge is $14.95.
14 days or less, you're going to see a difference in your dog.

You're listening to Glenn Back.
I have some very, very disturbing news.
A cake ball company has gone out of business.
This is actually a local company that Stu has been frequenting for forever.
You can tell by that appearance.
I go to cake ball companies often, if you look at me.
But yeah,
and I just realized as this message came in, it was just a
small shop started by one woman, I think, seven years ago.
It grew to maybe three or four locations, and they had to close all their locations as of yesterday.
And you just realize that
permanently done.
And you realize that, like, we're going to be seeing a lot of this.
Like,
if you follow a lot of local companies that you frequent on Instagram and
whatever social media, you're just going to start getting getting these messages.
It's going to be really depressing.
And you look at the way this is structured right now.
They're running out of money for the small business loan thing that they put together that was supposed to bridge this gap.
That was the whole point of that bill, was to bridge the gap while all this stuff is going on.
And they're already running out of money.
Nancy Pelosi won't come back to work.
So now they're talking the earliest they could vote on updating this package to get more money to these small business owners is May 8th.
So if you get it May 8th, the earliest that it's going to be available is let's say May 15th.
The earliest it could possibly get to a small business owner would be May 22nd.
That's five weeks away.
There's no way these companies are going to be able to last another five weeks with no help when you've told them no one could come to their business.
This is going to be the problem because look how fast they reacted to these big banks.
They didn't wait.
They got it immediately.
It was infused into them immediately.
Not for the average person.
It's going to be a real problem.
