Hello, America, and welcome to Tuesday.

We need to tell you that because a lot of people are losing track of what day it is.

Yes, indeed, it is Tuesday.

Lockdown in America continues.

Washington State says says

they're just canceling the rest of the academic school year

and

they may do distance learning

until spring of next year.

No,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that can't be,

no, no, seriously, that can't be true.

No, Washington State, you can lead, but you're going over a cliff and we will not follow.

Also, the latest on the WHO and the coronavirus.

What China knew when they knew it.

And how was the WHO involved in the cover-up?

In one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Well, it was bound to happen again for the second time in only three years.

Marriott Hotels has announced a data breach.

How many people's information does that work out to be?

Well, not many, only about 5.2 million Americans.

Marriott claims they have no reason to believe that the payment data was stolen, but

they do know that names, addresses, and phone numbers, loyalty member information, birth dates, and travel information was taken.

G

have you stayed in a Marriott in the last year or so?

Stayed in a hotel because it's happening to all hotels.

It's important that you understand how cybercrime is affecting our lives.

Someone's identity is stolen every every two seconds, and you can miss out on certain threats if you're only monitoring your credit.

LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats, and their dedicated team of professionals will alert you and then help solve the problem.

Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock can see the threats that you might miss on your own.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Today my new book comes out, Arguing with Socialists, and we would really love it if you would join us for a virtual book signing.

We were going to do some book signing this year, but that's kind of been canceled.

So we're going to do a virtual book signing.

The first one is happening tonight, and you can go to Glenbeck.com and find out, or is it GlenbeckBookSigning.com?

Is that right, Stu?

Yes.

Glenn signing.

That's where you can buy the book, and we'll sign it for you tonight.

And you can join us on that website tonight.

I think it's 6 o'clock Central.

Is that right?

Lasts about an hour and uh stu's going to be joining me and we'll be he'll be taking questions and i'll be answering them uh so while i sign your book so do it now it's glenbeckbooksigning.com or you can just go to glenbeck.com link is there but uh grab a copy of the book today arguing with socialist it is out you are going to learn more about socialism uh in the first in the not even the first chapter in the introduction you will learn more about socialism than you do in any book.

You will learn more about socialism than you did in school for 12 years.

As I was looking over it today,

what people don't understand, socialism and capitalism, they don't understand

either one of those.

They think capitalism is what we are living under right now.

And we're not.

We're living under crony capitalism.

Crony capitalism is why we all hate these bailouts.

We hate these bailouts because they're just going for people with special interests and

friends in Washington, D.C.

and connections, and they're not coming to us.

That's crony capitalism.

Capitalism is something where you own property, I own property, and we can exchange that property, you know, by using money or something else.

We can exchange that

property freely.

The government's job is just to protect people from being swindled.

So I have somebody I can run to and go, hey, this guy just ripped me off.

And if he did, then he has to pay a price.

But what government is doing, especially now, is getting involved at every level.

Right now, we have the government involved in the stock market.

How is this a free market if the government is propping up the stock market?

If the government is buying things, buying homes.

I mean, there's a good shot that your home actually now is owned by the federal government or by the Fed itself.

Did you know that?

Because if we're buying all of these loans from the banks,

now the banks don't own it.

You don't own it.

The federal government owns it.

That's not good.

Socialism, people think, is a system where you can,

you know, just help the poor.

But socialism does the exact opposite.

Socialism hurts the poor.

Socialism is not a destination in and of itself.

According to Marx,

it's a pit stop, with an emphasis on the word pit.

It's a pit stop on your way to communism.

Communism has never been achieved before.

The Union of Socialist Republics, Soviet Socialist Republics, USSR,

they weren't communists.

They were socialists.

Communism has never been achieved.

Communism is this utopian state.

They all think that socialism is this utopia state.

No, according to Marx, you know, the guy you are supposedly following, if you're a Marxist or a socialist, according to Marx, that's just the step beyond capitalism to get you to this communist utopia where they don't have to take things away by gunpoint.

They don't have to have strong-arm rulers.

See, they always say, no, no, no, socialism and communism, it was never done.

They just didn't do it right.

Right, because it never gets past gunpoint.

And the reason why is we see it in our kids.

Go ahead.

Take the toys away from one kid and force them to share.

It's not going to go well.

Now, you can teach your children to share, but then somebody else didn't teach their children to share and it causes problems.

That's the problem with socialism and communism.

Somebody didn't do their job.

Or somebody just thinks, oh, the state will do it, so I don't have to do it.

Look at how this is working right now with the coronavirus.

There are people who are taking it seriously, and those people who aren't taking it seriously.

And the reason why I have a problem with those who are not taking it seriously right now is: look,

we are tubing our economy.

We're tubing it.

We have intentionally turned the engines off of the United States of America.

That's never been done before.

And for what?

So we can slow this down.

Well, if you don't take it seriously, if you happen to be a spreader, this is going to last longer because you didn't do your part.

So what is the solution?

Well, the solution is, well, then what we should do is we should go arrest those people.

Or

we should put them in handcuffs.

We should fine them, make them pay.

That's the kind of society that a socialist society must always become, because there are people that won't play along.

And so,

what are you going to do about it?

What are you going to do?

You're forced into situations where you're controlling everyone's life.

And that never works out.

Anyway, the book is out today,

Arguing with Socialists.

And I can't recommend it highly enough.

We worked about a year on it.

Our art department, just Alexander and the team, just worked their brains out on the art.

It's four-color.

I mean, it reads like a comic book in some areas.

It's got lots of charts and graphs.

I mean, it's riddled with, for people riddled with ADD, it's riddled with ADD.

And something that you will really enjoy reading and something that you can pass on to your kids.

It has a hundred-page of footnotes in the back.

So you never, ever

should

or have to quote me.

You should never quote me.

Use the footnotes in the back to see the sources.

And we go to the communist sources, we go to the democratic socialist sources.

So, if you have a democratic, well, that's just the Heritage Foundation.

No, uh-uh.

No, we have that from the Heritage Foundation, but we also have it from

the

Communist Party USA.

So, we are using the sources on both sides so you can see the real argument.

All right, on Friday,

we did an exclusive for Blaze TV subscribers.

So you were way ahead if you were a Blaze TV subscriber.

On Friday, we told you what was going on with the WHO.

Today, let me give you some information here.

The WHO director is facing calls for resignation over his handling of the coronavirus.

Now, this may seem like

it's no big deal.

Oh, there's somebody getting beaten up for, you know, their handling of the coronavirus.

What?

Maybe they were incompetent.

No,

no.

This is a Chinese takeover of the WHO.

And we exposed this on Friday's exclusive show on Blaze TV.

You can still watch it if

you're a member.

Just look for the Friday exclusive, MyGB-TV,

and it's commercial-free, and it gives you all of the details.

But

let me just give you this.

The head of the WHO is the former Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

He is also the chairperson of the Executive Council of the African Union.

Why is that important?

If you remember, we have done shows on China and Africa in the past.

And in those shows, we have shown you, especially Ethiopia, the kind of money that Ethiopia has gotten from China.

They have built new roads.

80% of their roads were built by China with Chinese money.

They have built new palaces and

new

capital buildings, something that Ethiopia could never, ever, in their wildest of dreams, afford.

All of their politicians were given all kinds of perks from China.

Why?

Because China,

Ethiopia has been dubbed China's dream in Africa.

It was Ethiopia that hosted China's Belt and Road Summit.

The Belt and Road idea or program is China's strategy to dominate international trade.

They want the entire continent of Africa.

And to give you an idea of how well this is working, Samsung and Apple used to be the most popular phone companies in Ethiopia until China moved in.

Now it's the Chinese phone maker, Techno.

The Chinese presence in Africa, especially in Ethiopia, is absolutely staggering.

They are everywhere.

Chinese construction companies building structures all over the country fully funded a $47 million rail system in Ethiopia, over 30,000 miles of roads.

They provided 70% of the funds for another railway that links Ethiopia to neighboring countries at a cost of $3.4 billion.

billion dollars.

Let me remind you again, we're talking about Ethiopia.

The investment in Ethiopia has now grown at the rate of 52%

a year and is still growing.

Ethiopia owes China now over $12 billion.

Half of the entire external debt is owed to the Chinese Communist Party.

So the speculation is the reason why the WHO got all of this wrong

is because they've been doing the bidding of the Chinese government.

They have been on the side of the Chinese government the entire time.

They have been taking them at their word the entire time.

They have been defending the Chinese government.

As soon as the Chinese communists came out and said that this was racist to call it the Wuhan virus, that's exactly what the WHO said later that day.

Every time the Chinese Communist Party makes a move, the WHO celebrates that move and backs that move up

every single time.

This is probably beyond now

saving.

This is probably way beyond

the head of the WHO.

How far deep down

do the Chinese tentacles actually reach?

How far down into the WHO?

And that question could be asked here in America.

How deep are the Chinese tentacles

in us?

By the way, anybody who is remaining thinking that China is the good guy, I don't know if you saw that

in France,

France

sent,

what was it?

Like a...

I don't know how many masks they sent over.

England did the same thing, sent all these masks over.

Italy did the same.

And now China, now that they're on the other side of this and they don't need the masks, now China is sending back masks, but they're charging them for them.

So instead of saying, hey, you did us a solid, we'll do you a solid, they're charging.

And in fact, in France, they are now actually talking to

the French.

After the French, after Macron asked for a billion masks, he said,

we'll absolutely make them for him and get and give them to you, but you need 5G first.

You need to take

our 5G system in France first.

This is holding countries hostage

for medical supplies.

I think that the world needs to wake up and see exactly what China is and what China is doing.

I bring this up because I think that we are sitting at the precipice of war footing

because China is,

as we will expose on Wednesday night's special on Blaze TV,

the Chinese Communist Party is everything we feared of communism before.

And they are getting worse and worse and they are using this virus that we now believe came from their labs.

and we'll give you the evidence of that on Wednesday.

They're using this

virus to grab control of what they hope is the entire planet.

There's something about having lived for a very long time with frequent pain that gives you a new lease on life and

and you feel it as soon as it has receded into the background.

There's something about it that you just want to share with everyone.

This is the way I feel.

I want, I please, I beg you, if you're in pain, please just try this.

Yes, it is going to cost you $19.95, but if it doesn't work, you are going to be out $19.95.

But if it does, you get your life back.

This is the argument my wife made to me.

She's like, I said, honey, it's not going to work.

She's like, yeah, how do you know that?

Because I know I was wrong.

And I take it every single day.

If you suffer from frequent pain, please, this is not a drug.

It's not going to space you out.

It was developed by doctors and 70% of the people who order it go on to order more month after month.

So try the quick start now for $19.95.

Take it for those three weeks and see if it works for you.

Let's pause for 10-second station ID.

Hello, Stu.

Mr.

Beck, how are you?

Oh,

my, yes.

Big day today.

New book is out.

Yeah, it is a big day.

Yeah.

It is a big day.

I mean, not the day that you would want to release a new book, but I'm going to the bookstore.

I've been waiting outside.

I camped out to make sure I was first in line.

Did you, really?

Yeah, this morning.

And I was.

I was first in line.

Right.

That's weird.

Yeah, I could not get it, though.

For some reason, I guess they were opening late today, so I was unable to get the book.

Bookstores are even harder to find today than they have been in the last five years.

But you can get the new book online at Amazon or wherever you buy your books.

And

I urge you to do it.

I started listening to the audio book.

I'm listening to the audio book because I can't.

I have to wait until it's, you know,

but I started listening to the audio book just to refresh myself on everything in the book.

And I listened to the first two chapters this morning as I was getting ready.

And it is...

It is such a good book.

I had forgotten how good of a book it really is.

You know, you

write these things months and months and months before.

And then by the time you get to a release date, you're like, ah, yeah, okay.

That was like six months ago.

I don't remember.

It is such a good book.

Such a good book.

And really something that you can share with people

who are socialists.

I mean, it'll piss them off because it's me.

But if you don't want to give them the book, just give them the arguments.

It is so good

of being able to just have you be able to take it down a notch and say, okay,

let's start at the beginning.

Let's start at the beginning and take these socialist ideas apart piece by piece by piece.

This is a how-to book.

All these arguments are going to come after this COVID thing.

We're seeing in Spain where they're already implementing universal basic income and saying it's permanent already because of this.

And all these things are going to come here.

And all the answers to those arguments are in arguing with socialists.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

It's remarkable how much different life is right now from what we think of as the norm.

Everybody is having to adjust to new standards and practices, and Hustler Turf is no different.

Their dealers are implementing a lot of changes, so you can still get the best zero-turn mower without having to leave your yard.

Go to GlenbeckBookSigning.com for a live book signing tonight of arguing with socialists.

And the book signing thing is not really happening right now, but make sure you wash your hands before you go.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to Tuesday.

I want to talk a little bit about this madness with the hydroxychloroquine debate.

The press is treating this like it is leeches.

You know, the president's so crazy

he wants to use leeches to go ahead and try to help people.

And then he says, you know, you got a headache, we'll put your head in the guillotine and black that's not what he's

talking about yeah cnn is so

they are so invested in this in contradicting and trashing everything trump says they won't even consider that there's an upside to this treatment they won't even consider it uh and there is an upside yeah there's a huge upside absolutely uh listen to this la doctor now this is a doctor who is actually treating patients who have covid Here's what he says about it.

I do want to ask you about hydroxychloroquine.

The president was pushing it pretty strong again yesterday.

You said you have prescribed this.

I want to talk to you about the effects you're seeing and what it might do for people who take it normally outside of coronavirus and a possible shortage of medicine for them.

Exactly.

What we're finding clinically with our patients is that it really only works in conjunction with zinc.

So the hydroxychloroquine opens a zinc channel.

Zinc goes into the cell.

It then blocks the replication of the cellular machinery.

So it has to be used in conjunction with zinc.

We are seeing some clinical responses in that regard.

There are people that take it regularly for other disease processes.

We have to be cautious and mindful that we don't prescribe it for patients who have COVID that are well.

It really should be reserved for people that are really sick in the hospital or at home very sick that need that medication.

Otherwise, we're going to blow through our supply for the patients that take it regularly for other disease processes.

But what you're saying is you're prescribing it and it is working for COVID-19 patients.

Every patient I've prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free.

And so clinically, I am seeing a resolution

that mirrors what we saw in the French study and some of the other studies worldwide.

But what I am seeing is that people are taking it alone by itself.

It's not having efficacy.

Okay.

Wow, that is that's very interesting news and hopefully we can get that more widespread.

Dr.

Anthony Cardillo, thank you so much for your information

so

why is why is the media

they are they just do they care about being right i think so and donald trump being wrong more than people's lives seems to be it's insanity insanity yeah that's how much they hate trump that uh they they will bash this potential uh cure or not cure yeah for Because they hate him so much.

It's unbelievable.

I mean, and let's say you have a temperature of 104, you can't breathe, and you feel like garbage, and you ask for hydroxychloroquine, but your doctor says, well, Dr.

Fauci says it's, you know, there's just anecdotal evidence it works.

Oh, okay, well, then just give me ibuprofen.

What do you have to lose?

There's not any evidence that ibuprofen can use it.

So,

you know,

that is bizarre.

And I think a lot of this is they just

intentionally incorrectly summarize what Trump is saying.

Right.

Trump is saying, look, we don't know if it's the answer.

We hope it is.

I have hope for it.

Like, and if you're in the life and death situation, why not give it a shot?

That is what basically Trump is saying every single time.

He's hopeful on it.

And he's not saying, he's not talking to the average person.

He's talking to doctors.

Doctors.

He's talking to doctors.

Doctors should look into this.

Not, not, you know, me, not you.

Doctors.

If you are sick, ask your doctor about it.

And he says that.

He says

that the decision should be made in conjunction with your doctor.

He doesn't say just go take the fish tank cleaner and

start guzzling it.

You know, maybe

this comes from their understanding of universal health care because

the president could just make dictates in universal health care.

I mean, if the, you know, the government runs everything, if they're like, you know what, we're not going to give this drug, then what the president says, we do.

This is still a free market in a free country.

We absolutely can use it.

There's no downside to using this other than it hurts the people who really need it all the time.

We just can't burn through all of it.

Which is a big deal, by the way.

I mean,

that's a significant thing.

It is something that is used for

lupus and obviously malaria.

It's no longer a trademark drug.

It's out on the open market.

You can make a generic version of this.

If this actually would get some support,

our drug companies could spend, hey, everybody for a week, make this.

And they could.

Oh, yeah.

And look,

it's not a drug you can't get at this point.

And I think this doctor seemed to be taking a smart approach with it, which is like, use it when you get to a point where it's really serious.

And the patient is about to die.

And at, exactly.

And at that point, right, then if they decide this is the right treatment, then you're right, Glenn, they can produce it like crazy.

The question is, do you produce it like crazy before you know that answer?

And, you know, like, honestly, like,

if we, if, if there is enough anecdotal, if the, if there gets to a point where it doesn't have to be proven to every last level scientific doubt, but if they get to a point, because I know there's a Chinese study that said it didn't do anything.

Now, look, it's China.

I don't know.

If I trust that, no.

So if we can get enough over this line where we believe it helps enough people, or at least helps some subset of people, it may just be people that have certain conditions, or it may just be people that take other medications, or it may just be people with certain genetic makeups, right?

Like maybe that only helps 10% of patients, but still, that's a miracle.

But if you're critically ill, you're going to be okay with that.

Let me try it.

If I'm going to die anyway, what's the downside of trying it?

You know, it's funny because they're all saying, you know, high doses of vitamin C

has been shown to be effective in some patients.

And nobody has a problem with that one.

That seems like witch doctor stuff to me.

Vitamin C.

Yeah, that sounds like something my mother would do.

Take some more vitamin C.

Oh, got some orange juice.

The issue here, Trump.

But if it works, it works.

Yeah, right.

And Trump is summarizing a larger point.

Like, Trump, you know, look, he's not a doctor, as he said.

He does not know the 70-plus medications they're doing clinical trials with all by name.

He knows a couple of them.

He's mentioned the other one, which is from

Gilead as well, several times, as a potential treatment as well.

They're doing dozens and dozens of these trials at the same time, trying to figure out what works best.

The point is that we're hoping to get one of these things to catch on and actually work for people.

This at the doses that are required to help this particular problem,

it is a drug that has already gone through FDA approval.

It's already approved.

It's not chemical.

At those levels, there is no danger to this drug.

No danger at all.

And

if it works with just, as you said, 10% of the people, it's worth doing.

But the CNNs of the world are so vested in them being right and Donald Trump being wrong, they cannot admit it.

And it's sick.

It's really a sickness.

Pat and I were just talking off the air about ABC radio that did this recently.

ABC was a podcast that presented this just like the media has been doing it.

Look, Donald Trump is giving people false hope.

You know, look, is there a chance of this working?

It's possible, but right now it's the wrong, he's not handling this right.

And just, you know, kind of trashing him.

One of their former radio executives actually got coronavirus, went to the Cleveland clinic, and the Cleveland clinic gave him hydroxychloroquine, and it cured him.

Oh, geez.

It's one of their former executives.

That's amazing.

And

if you're a company, they don't even mention that in the story, right?

Particularly if you're ABC, but I would say every media source.

But if you're ABC, don't you have to mention that this guy who worked for your company

was cured by this?

And again, not just would you be happy?

Wouldn't you be happy to?

Absolutely.

I'd be happy to mention that.

You should be thrilled.

I'd be thrilled to mention that.

You'd want to be wrong that it has absolutely no efficacy because it's helping people in 8 to 12 hours,

according to this LA doctor.

I mean, and you don't include that in the story either.

It's really encouraging, right?

By the way, there are people who have used this with

really good success.

It's promising

in some cases.

So now,

let's look at this.

Let's look at this.

Look at how the media is handling

French doctors saying COVID-19 vaccines should be tested on poor Africans.

Oh, boy.

What?

Not ideal messaging there, I would say.

No.

No, I mean, that was the messaging of the Nazis and the progressives of that era.

You know, hey, let's just try it on some undesirables.

I don't think that's a good idea.

But you could argue, okay, well, they have nothing.

They don't have ICU units.

They don't have any ventilators.

We're going to doom them all to death.

Why not try this out?

Yeah.

But that is being discussed as a much less harebrain idea than

hydrochloroquine.

I mean,

wait, you're going to just test drugs that you have no idea what nobody's ever put them in human bodies before.

Yeah, we're just going to send them down to Africa and shoot those people up with them.

That is a reasonable idea to the press, but hydrochloroquine, oh, that's insane.

I mean, look, both of those things could be, you know, one of the reasons why a vaccine takes 12 to 18 months is they feel like, okay, we think we have the answer here.

However, we should probably make sure before we give it to 100 million people, right?

That is part of, that's the reason why that delay, at least part of the reason why the delay is so long, because they can't give it to an entire population

without knowing if it kills people in six months, right?

Right.

Now, most likely it doesn't.

This we do.

But this, this, this, the hydrochloroquine, we do know.

Or at least not damaging, right?

We do know that.

Right.

It will won't kill anyone.

These vaccines,

they might kill somebody.

Hopefully, they don't, but they might.

They might cause cancer in 10 years.

We don't know.

Hydrochloroquine, we know.

It's been around forever.

This is like when you take, you know,

in fact, I think, wasn't.

uh

sorry they're mowing my lawn today

um

every new show every show in america has these bizarre moments now or like i know you're like yeah you know those

are washing the windows you know

yeah so the uh the the uh i i think it's uh what's the little blue pill viagra wasn't viagra for something else and they realized that oh man it's great for erections and so they started marketing it that way i think you're right yeah you're right yeah Right?

It's the same thing with hydrochloroquine.

Absolutely.

It was made for something else.

I don't even remember what it was, but then it was moved over to lupus because it wasn't as effective on what it was designed for, but it actually had really great benefits for people who have really bad

arthritis and lupus.

And so they started using it for them.

What is the problem with this, CNN?

This is done all the time.

Pat Gray Unleashed is the podcast.

You can get it on any podcast app as well as Blazetv.com.

Check it out every single day.

All right.

With all the uncertainty in the world right now, everyone's top priority is safety.

Everybody's secondary priority

Tomorrow night at 9 p.m.

Eastern on Glenn TV, the coronavirus came from China.

But is our reaction to it turning America more red than red, white, and blue?

Glenn asked the questions the media won't.

Where did the virus come from?

How long had China actually been dealing with it?

What are the real number of deaths in China?

And why is it racist to dig for the truth?

Glenn says it's time to hold China, our media, and our government accountable before it's too late.

Arguing with Chinese socialists tomorrow at 9 p.m.

Eastern on Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So just looking at

some of the stories today,

food banks have reported a 600% spike in

need.

In Florida, there was a huge, huge line at the food bank.

In Seattle, they said that they are

canceling school and they have every intention of coming back next

fall.

But just in case this happens again, they need to be ready.

And so they need things like high-speed internet for the entire state.

Wait, what?

And

they need some sort of daycare for parents that just can't do this.

So they, I mean, it's every socialist dream

being

given to the governor

of Washington state as things we have to do.

And of course, we have to reform our unions because this is going to change everything in the schools.

Yeah.

And remember, he ran for president as a Democrat, right, with all of these policies already outlined.

And now

and this is why, you know, we talked about this, you know, with when it comes to your book, Arguing with Socialists, again, out today, Glennbeckbooksigning.com, if you want to get a signed copy tonight.

But the issue here is like all of these things that they've built in

as their wish list.

are all going to come back now with COVID-19 justifications retroactively, right?

Well, if people have to stay home, we have to make sure they have internet to get all the information they need.

And if people, if parents go back to work but schools aren't open, we need to have the daycares, and everyone should be able to have free daycare, you know, and healthcare is obviously important.

Everyone should have free health care.

They're going to go down this road.

You got to have the arguments to fight back against it.

Absolutely.

Also, if you're going to go down the road of 5G is causing this, you better have the arguments against that as well.

We have them for you.

Jeff Brown joins us next on the

absolute lie that 5G is causing coronavirus.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, New Year deserves a new pair of Dakovis boots.

Start strong with that feeling of confidence and comfort that only comes with a real high-quality pair of Western boots.

Even if you've never worn cowboy boots before, Dakovis has the perfect pair for you.

That's T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com slash Beck.

Takovis, Western Goods for New Frontiers.

All right, I had a lot of

people send me emails.

Glenn, it's 5G.

What what's what's 5G?

Coronavirus, 5G.

Where's 5G from?

China.

Coronavirus?

China.

We got to burn down these 5G cell towers.

Okay.

Okay, no.

First of all, no, we don't.

You shouldn't be burning those down.

And I think they're made out of metal.

So, generally, I mean, I thought the conspiracy theorists knew,

you know, steel doesn't melt.

But maybe that's just me.

The conspiracy that

5G

is actually causing people to die from the coronavirus is ridiculous.

And we have a guy who has studied all of these things and 5G for quite some time, an expert really on 5G, Jeff Brown, the chief technology analyst, Bonner and Partners, editor of The Bleeding Edge.

Jeff joins us to talk about the coronavirus and 5G in one minute.

Jeff Brown is one of the more fascinating men I have

talked to.

And I really

enjoy getting his perspective.

i am a technology freak but know just enough to be dangerous he really knows this stuff chief technology analyst for bonner and partners uh kind of a futurist jeff brown welcome to the program how are you sir good morning

how are things

fantastic

so now jeff Coming on this program, is it kind of like going to nursery school?

Is it kind of like, ah, okay, I can talk down for 20 minutes.

Is it kind of like that for you?

Not at all.

Not at all.

Part of the pleasure is being able to explain

complex technology topics in a way that everybody understands.

Okay, so you'll have to do that here.

On 5G, there is a conspiracy going around now that 5G,

if I may,

is

partially

partially the cause of coronavirus because 5G causes the blood that's circulating in your body to be unable to carry oxygen.

Now you

now let me let me give you the whole thing here.

What's especially horrifying about the critical care of coronavirus patients is they're not suffering from viral pneumonia rather than an ability to absorb or carry oxygen in the blood.

They say that this is exactly what 5G does.

It kills the ability of the body to carry enough oxygen in the blood.

Tell me about 5G.

Right, right.

So, you know, of course,

that particular conspiracy is not, it's baseless.

It's not founded on anything, really.

You know,

at the simplest level,

mobile phones and cell phone towers, they emit radio waves.

So that's radio frequency radiation.

The key part to understand is that it's a form of radiation called non-ionizing radiation.

And so our bodies have been experiencing this kind of radiation our whole lives.

It's completely normal.

It's all around us.

And here's the key point.

The key thing is that this kind of non-ionizing radiation does not damage DNA or cell tissue in in any way whatsoever.

So, not only

can it not have any negative effects on our immune system, it also can't cause any forms of mutations.

That was another conspiracy theory I was asked about as to whether or not 5G cell towers could cause the coronavirus to mutate, and that's what created COVID-19 in the first place, which of course is absolutely not true.

Isn't this the same kind of stuff we have about every new technology?

Do we have this about radio towers and then television towers and then cell phone towers?

Absolutely.

With every successive generation,

and not ironically,

these new generations of wireless technology that come along every 10 years, these conspiracy theories pop up.

you know, for 12 to 18 months, and eventually they go away and they come back with the next generation of wireless technology.

So, but 5G is different.

I mean, you're not supposed to stand in front of one of the towers, right?

Can it cook you?

No.

And obviously, no network would ever be designed so that

we carry around the base station right next to our head.

Yes, the power levels are higher than

4G.

That's a natural result of the evolution to operating at higher frequency bands.

But these cell towers are hundreds of feet, sometimes miles, away from where anybody would be using their cell phone.

And also worth mentioning,

you know, the FDA specifies what level is safe for the human body.

And the current regulations have basically a 50-fold safety margin in them right now.

So, in other words, there's a tremendous amount of cushion.

So, you don't buy any of the so-called studies that show that it causes mental illness, that it's causing a lack of oxygen in the hemoglobin, none of that.

Absolutely not.

You know, again, with

non-ionizing radiation,

there's not even the potential for damage to DNA or cell tissue.

It might be worth mentioning, there was a very interesting study done

in Denmark.

It was kind of

the largest percentage of a population.

They analyzed about 360,000 mobile phone subscribers over a period of more than a decade,

looking for some kind of connection between, for example, example, a brain tumor or brain cancer and cell phone usage.

And they were completely inconclusive.

There was no evidence whatsoever to indicate that there were any negative health effects.

No, I saw a study just a few months ago that shows that if you're using your cell phone and you keep it by your head, it's actually causing like little devil horns to grow out of the back of your spine.

I don't know if you saw that.

That was an actual report online.

I don't know if you saw that, but

I didn't see that one.

There was, though, you might be interested,

another study that was done.

It was actually conducted by the National Institutes of Health and the FDA.

And what they did is they did what you suggested.

They put basically a very high-power radio transmitter next to rats

and exposed them to this non-ionized radiation.

And what they found

was

that the animals that were exposed to this non-ionized radiation actually lived longer than the control animals that weren't exposed to it.

All right,

I think we're going to

leave it at that.

Jeff, tell me any updates on the do you do you know anything about the hydroxychloroquine

or any updates on any of the medicines that are going through the vaccines or cures or anything that you've seen?

Yeah, the hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin,

the

antibiotic,

has produced some fabulous results within five days.

Most patients actually test negative for COVID-19.

The only caveat is that only about 20 people were tested in that particular clinical trial, but the results were very positive.

All of the other tests right now are still in very early stages.

We're still waiting to get some data, which we should have by the end of the month.

But since you and I last spoke, there are at least five more vaccines in development to tackle COVID-19.

So

it's all very exciting, very positive news from the industry.

Are any of these coming from like socialized medicine, or are these all coming from the free market?

All from the free market, all from the private sector.

With one exception, University of Pittsburgh, for example,

University of Georgia have both developed some potential vaccine candidates.

So

the University of Washington as well

has been doing some great work.

So there is some development coming out of academia that's worth mentioning.

Jeff, thank you so much.

Do you have

anything else on the technology front that is

exciting that you're seeing that will play a role in either what's happening

with our society or

anything having to do with what we're going through now?

Do you see anything?

Well,

if anything, this current pandemic has raised the profile of how critical our communications network and infrastructure has become.

We've seen, for example, data rates, data traffic over wireless networks spike by fifty percent, and our four G networks are overloaded, which really demonstrates why our five G networks, which can have so much greater capacity, are so critical to our nation's infrastructure.

In fact,

just in DC,

I've been testing the 5G wireless networks and the speeds are extraordinary.

As much as 1.7 gigabits per second, which is more than 100 times faster than what you or I would normally experience on a 4G network.

And these networks are live, up and running today.

We've got over 110 cities in the United States that have 5G network coverage.

What's not coming back, Jeff?

I mean, I saw this thing in Washington State, and they said they're closing the schools, and they intend on coming back next year, but they want to make sure that they can do virtual schools for next year as well, yada, yada.

What are some of the things that you think are just not going to come back?

How is this going to change us?

I like to think about this as a modification of our normal behavior.

We're definitely going to see a reduction in

business travel.

This is definitely making it very clear that

we don't need to travel as much as we have in the past to get our jobs done.

We'll definitely see more distributed workforces.

So rather than working from home being somewhat of a stigma in many corporations, I think we'll see this to be encouraged.

And this will also obviously

save business expenses, both in in terms of travel and required office space.

It's already forcing

the private sector to rethink

the distribution of their workforce and our productivity levels, and of course, the expenses associated with that.

So we can see those changes happening already.

All right.

Jeff, thanks.

Appreciate it.

We'll talk again.

Jeff Brown, Chief Technology Analyst for Bonner and partners.

So I want to talk to you about rough greens.

Rough greens is just this great supplement that I put on my dog's food and he loves it and it has changed him.

He is gobbling his food.

He is gaining weight.

We've always had a problem with Uno gaining weight.

He just doesn't like to eat.

And, you know,

you got to make sure that you're feeding him more.

We got it, we got it, we got it.

We're trying.

He wouldn't gain weight for five years.

We tried, he would never gain weight.

He's gaining weight now, but I said to my wife early on, I'm afraid he's going to get fat.

He's not fat, he's building muscle.

He is a bigger dog now because he's so active.

And this all comes from rough greens.

And I've seen it happen with my dog, and people are seeing it happen all over the country with their dog.

It's the only supplement that your dog will ask for by name.

Rough Greens.

That's roughgreens.com slash Beck.

10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome to the program.

We're glad that you've tuned in today.

Today's a big day for us.

Today's the day that we,

about eight months of work comes to fruition.

One of our babies goes on the market today.

It's arguing with socialists.

It is my latest book and the last book that I am writing for Simon and Schuster.

And it's been a great partnership, but

this is the last one that I'm writing for a while.

And it's Arguing with Socialists.

I think you will really, really like it.

It is in the style of Arguing with Idiots and an inconvenient book, which are some of our biggest

non-fiction bestsellers.

It's four color, so it's really easy to read.

It's entertaining.

It's fun.

It's funny.

It's full of charts and graphs.

There's nothing I

have a hard time.

Stu loves books that are that are not fiction, non-fiction books.

Unless they're right up my alley, I hate reading them.

Really?

I just hate reading them.

I'm the exact opposite.

I do not like reading fiction unless it's like really a complete home run for some reason.

But the non-fiction stuff I love.

And the thing about this one is, even I think if you have the ADD of Glenn Beck with nonfiction, you can get you can get a lot out of it because it's broken down.

You know, you can go into just see, you know,

an exact argument.

Like, people will make an argument about

minimum wage or

universal health care.

And you can flip right to the page and see the exact argument they're making and see all the facts that show what they're saying is usually BS and all the links to mainstream sources they would have no choice but to accept and respect.

That proves the case.

So they're not, these are not,

we're not shadow boxing here.

I wanted the real arguments.

I wanted the arguments not from your average dope, but from the ones who are actual socialists and know what that means.

And they are arguing

why socialism will work so much better over capitalism.

I wanted to make sure that this was a smart book, that you could take it to somebody who's actually really

studied it or one of their disciples who's just listening to Ocasio-Cortez because she's cute or whatever.

Those people are easy to take down with this book.

This one

also has the deep understanding of what Marxism is and socialism is.

And I think it will confound a lot of socialists because I think a lot of people who think that they really know it have no idea idea what they're even talking about.

And you will learn more in the introduction,

just before the first chapter, you will learn more in the first few pages of this book than you learned in all of your time in school.

It's arguing with socialists, and it's available everywhere that you can find a book and a store is open.

For instance,

you know, Amazon.com.

It's available today.

Please get it.

I'd like to see this book go to number one.

And

I think it would send a message, especially right now, because a lot of the stuff that's happening to our country is in this book right now.

I mean, a lot of it was being talked about, but because of COVID-19, a lot of this stuff is happening.

And we lay out their plan in this book because we have to take it apart.

And so you will see, when you read the book, you'll be like, holy mother, we just did this.

Yeah.

You'll have a deeper understanding of why I think Inslee was so

concerning

yesterday, the governor of Washington,

because he said that

the state is going to close down school from here on out.

They're done.

And they're planning on coming back next fall.

But they don't know, and so they need a few things to be done.

Well, those are all on the socialist wish list

and you have to decide.

Don't move out of fear

and say, oh yeah, we gotta do this.

Yes, that's well that'll solve it.

Wait, wait, wait.

Understand what this changes and what this means to our society and our culture before you do anything.

Arguing with socialists available right now.

Get it?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

This is Glenn Beck, the Tiger King.

Yeah, that's me.

That's me.

Oh, yeah.

We have the Sheriff of Hillsborough County on with us

because we've been following him because he's decided that he's looking into new leads for the disappearance of Jack Donald

as a result of Netflix Tiger King.

Sheriff, how are you, sir?

Good morning.

How are you?

I'm very good.

Thanks for being on.

Now, I'm not one usually that is excited about

justice that's coming from a docuseries,

but you kind of had your hands tied on this disappearance because there was no place to go with it, right?

Can you tell me what happened to

What's her name?

Carol's husband.

I wish I could.

You know, to my own personal belief, I think he was killed?

Absolutely.

How and who did it, that's the mystery that still remains.

And I'm hoping America's obsession with this documentary will help us cultivate or generate some new leads, an interview, maybe a relationship that has went soured since then, and help us finally solve this case.

So I asked the other day that we not only comb the new leads coming in, most of them theories are individuals who are emailed or telephoned.

They watch the documentary and they know how it was done, who did it, and they're going to help us solve the case.

And hey, listen, I appreciate their theories, but certainly we're looking for those leads, those missing pieces.

That, again, that interview that I think will help us solve this case.

If you watch the documentary, you've seen how eccentric,

complicated their lives are, and his life was no different.

So, who was he exactly?

Do you know his story?

And he just disappeared one day, and the car was at the airport?

That's the evidence that we have.

But again, I think someone wanted us to believe that he fled the country because we recovered his truck or his van, I should say, at a private airport, but there's no passenger manifest, either commercial or private, ever leaving the country.

He had two passports.

Neither one of them were flagged as leaving the country.

The detectives went down to Costa Rica, checked with the person who's his house manager because he he had a home down there, his girlfriend down there, security guards down there that were on the property, associates that he had down there.

No one had seen him six months prior to his disappearance.

So I think someone wanted us to believe that he fled the country, but exactly don't know, or I don't believe that he ever did.

Wait, wait, wait.

You mentioned a girlfriend in Costa Rica is...

I mean, he was married, right, to Carol?

He was.

He was married and had a girlfriend, had a mistress down in Costa Rica.

You know, he was involved with some shady business dealings with some characters down there.

Like I said, when I talk about complicated, complicated.

Just his entire life.

And I think a lot of people lose sight that they think Carol's the one that opened and created this big cat rescue, this animal sanctuary, but he's the one that did it.

That was his passion.

He started that.

So is he a big cat guy?

Because those people are insane.

He was.

He was.

Like I said, that was his passion.

And I think the documentary got some things right, and they got some things wrong.

You know, you watch the show and you believe that the meat grinders, everyone believes that, hey, listen, he was in the meat grinders and he was fed to the animals.

Well, the meat grinders had been removed from the property, you know, weeks before his disappearance.

Now, that doesn't, I'm not trying to allude to the fact that they couldn't have sent him somewhere else and had him grinded up somewhere else.

But

the show leads you to believe that, hey, listen, you know, these meat grinders or the septic tank, you know, imploring us to check under the septic tank, check under the

septic tank.

You know, septic tank wasn't installed until years after his disappearance.

So, you know, some things weren't exactly right, but

some things are suspicious.

You know,

what wealthy person do you ever know that disappears but doesn't take their wealth with them?

You know, whoever leaves and has a great relationship with his daughters but doesn't take his children with him, just leaves them behind.

You know, whoever, in their wildest dreams, and I've talked to a ton of probate attorneys, who's ever heard of a disappearance clause in a will?

If I ever disappear, leave the bulk of my wealth to this individual here.

Who's ever heard of such a thing?

So is there a lot of red flags to

make this disappearance suspicious?

100%.

Wow, a disappearance clause.

That's insane.

Do you know how that found its way into into the

will?

No, well,

that comes into question, too.

Like I said, the unfortunate part is that every turn, I think, I believe our investigators back 23 years ago would get excited, thinking that they're going to break the case, and it just became another obstacle.

And I think the will was another.

You know, five years after his disappearance, Carol

had a judge declare him as deceased.

So she was able to receive the benefits from the will.

There was someone who was interviewed that worked for them.

And if you watch a documentary, you know that they always thought one was spying on another.

One of the other rescues was always

spying on someone else.

It was almost like these employees had to pledge their allegiance, prove their loyalty each and every day, or they were considered a spy and they were ostracized.

So one of the people

who said she witnessed the signatures on the will years later had changed her story that it was was a forgery and she had never witnessed the will being signed.

But then, after all that, the statute of limitations for forgery had run out, so there wasn't anything we can do, and the will had already been executed back then, anyway, which, unfortunately, the children received next to nothing.

How many children did he have?

I believe he has two daughters.

I believe he has two daughters.

And how much money are we talking about, Chad?

That's a great question.

We believe anywhere from $5 to $7 million.

Some people believe his his net worth was closer to $20 million.

But what we can prove is the $5 to $7 million range.

And what did he do?

By the way, we're talking to the sheriff of

Hillsborough County about the Tiger King.

He's looking for anybody who has any information on Carol Baskin's missing husband.

So

what was his business?

He was involved in a lot of different businesses from loaning money to some real estate holdings.

That was probably his biggest one, was the real estate holdings, but he was involved in a lot of different businesses.

And

I talked to the sheriff of the county where Joe was, and he said the problems with that place

just never stopped, just never stopped.

Is the same thing, can the same thing be said about the lion sanctuary or the cat sanctuary?

Is this a crazy place as well?

And that's the difference.

We have no complaints here.

This is a great spot for individuals to go see cats that have been rescued.

Our community embraces this business.

This business has never

been a subject of any type of mistreatment of animals complaints.

We've never had any issues with Carol or this cat sanctuary here in Tampa, Florida.

It's actually a great, again, a great attraction for young people to go get educated on exotic animals.

And you're not saying that you think Carol did it.

You're saying somebody did it.

And you're just looking because the show didn't make it clear that he was kind of a sketchy guy.

Now that I know that he's the cat guy and was running around those circles and had multiple businesses,

you know,

that might be a tip-off that somebody did something to him that had nothing to do with Carol.

Well, there's no doubt that someone did something to him.

I feel confident in that after being in law enforcement for 28 years, but I can't call Carol even a person of interest.

I can't certainly wouldn't, I'd be, I'd be, it'd be inappropriate to name her as a suspect.

There's no evidence to point in any direction of who may be a suspect at this time.

Again, because he was so eccentric and was involved in some shady business deals with some unsavory characters.

And again,

and had a girlfriend, and a lot of people are like, well, Carol should have been more upset.

She should have been, she should have have done this.

Why about seeking a reward for his disappearance?

There's a lot of things that maybe you or I, if our loved one

went, we wouldn't have stopped.

And maybe she wasn't as upset.

But that doesn't mean that she's the one who is responsible for his disappearance, by the way.

Correct.

And she was the last person to see him alive that we know of, right?

That was her statement?

Correct.

Just 23 years ago, you know, on August 19th in 1997, he had asked her when she woke up in the morning, hey, listen, let's pack up the truck.

We're going to drive to Miami and then catch a plane from there to take some supplies and stuff and go over to Costa Rica.

And he took the van and said he had to run an errand and he would be back, and she hadn't seen him since.

That's her account of the events that occurred that day.

And did she take a polygraph?

She refused to take a polygraph, and that was probably one of our latest developments was back in 2011.

2010, we asked the daughters to come in, and we did DNA swabs from them to make sure we had DNA in a database in case he was ever recovered.

We already had fingerprints on file.

He had been arrested before.

We had dental records, but we didn't have any DNA.

That was in 2010.

In 2011, we asked her to come in and take a polygraph, and she refused.

She said that, listen, my attorney says that it wouldn't prohibit the sheriff's office from ever seeking criminal or punitive charges against me.

It won't vindicate me.

I'm not going to take the polygraph.

Yeah, I don't think I would either, Sheriff.

I mean, if I were her and I'm innocent, I just don't think I'm going to do anything that I don't have to do because

they can be inaccurate.

I certainly understand her position.

Like I said, I'm certainly not talking negative or talking about any type of innuendos or why she didn't take it.

She felt strongly.

I think her attorney gave her some good advice.

On the other hand, if it was my wife,

I don't think I would ever stop doing whatever I could do do to try to help the authorities figure out exactly what occurred during his disappearance.

Did you notice,

let me just have fun with this conspiracy here real quick.

My daughter said, of course she did it, Dad.

Did you notice how fast she said you have to put fish oil on, what's his name, shoes,

when Joe was attacked by the lion?

She knew exactly what would be.

I just want to just point out, have you checked that she had a lot of fish oil there for some unknown reason?

And we didn't see any of that either.

That's another one.

We didn't recover any of that.

Any people called with that?

Any items like that.

But again, like I said, I think the documentary, that's why we're so obsessed, is because it was so entertaining.

I'll tell you this.

I was called by the producer saying, listen, we're thinking about doing a second part to this series and focus more on Carol and, of course, Don Lewis' disappearance.

Would you be interested?

And I said, listen, I would certainly be open-minded to it.

Again, if anything that we could help bring a spotlight and attention to his disappearance, I don't have an ego.

If we can get some type of leads generated and try to solve this case, that's what we need to do here.

And you're really looking for somebody who maybe knew him, had a relationship, knew something at the time.

Now the relationships have changed, and they want to

share something that might open a couple of doors.

And how do they contact you real quick, Sheriff?

Hey, they can call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200.

Again, we're getting about a half a dozen leads a day, more theories than leads, but we're going to re-examine and go over everything.

We're going to start from scratch.

We're going to, because of America's obsession with this, we're hoping to, again, glimmer any type of evidence we can to help us solve this case.

And we're going to start from scratch, re-interviewing everybody, re-looking at all the evidence again, hoping that we can finally bring his family some closer in justice and figuring out what exactly happened to Don Lewis.

Sheriff, thank you so much.

Sheriff of Hillsborough County, Florida.

You can call him at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department.

Chad Cronister, thank you so much.

We'll talk again.

Well, your life today probably looks a lot different than it just a few weeks ago.

We have new challenges to think through.

How are we supposed to, you know, work from home and

be a homeschool teacher at the same time?

And on that note, your kids are online a lot more than they probably were.

That's right.

It starts at 7 p.m.

Eastern.

And it's going to be a lot of fun.

You can kind of ask any question.

You know, it's interesting because the book was sort of written with the idea that the election was going to be the big topic of the moment.

But all these...

all these, we're seeing it already all over the world.

All these things that they were going to try to work into their election cell, they're now working into, well, we really need this because of COVID-19.

We really need this because of this pandemic.

All the same things, conveniently, that they were arguing for before, they are now arguing for after with a lot more power behind them.

So it really winds up being because of panic.

Yeah.

People are panicking, and people are like, well, yeah, but it makes sense now.

Well, it won't make sense when we're out of this pandemic.

It will not make sense.

It made a lot of sense when we were under attack

in 9-11, you know, for everybody to worry about the airports.

Not really making sense a lot of times now with FISA courts and everything else.

This time, it's for the whole ball of wax.

This is this is a socialist transformation.

Get the book today.

All right, our coronavirus update for the day.

Here are the confirmed cases worldwide: 1,359,010 people.

That's up.

That is up almost 100,000 from yesterday.

Total confirmed deaths worldwide, up 5,000 to 75,906.

We now have 367,650 confirmed cases.

That is up from 336.

So

about...

About 30,000 cases.

New cases were confirmed yesterday.

9,600 deaths deaths yesterday to 10 943

that's 100

sorry 1300 more deaths that is an astonishing number um now

in the motor in the motor city uh there are more than 700 employers in one detroit hospital system that have now tested positive 700 employees, 700 people in one hospital system.

This is the Henry Ford Hospital campus.

They confirmed yesterday they have 731 cases of coronavirus among the employees at the hospital.

That accounts for 2% in the hospital system's

31,000 employees.

There is as many as 1,500 at another hospital in the state that have reported symptoms similar to the coronavirus.

Those numbers are not confirmed cases yet.

The doctors say if we are going to test the whole population, you would see large, large numbers of people who are testing positive.

Testing positive is a measure of how contagious this virus is.

It doesn't mean how deadly it is.

The hospital put out a statement saying our team members are our greatest asset and the health and safety is top priority as we continue to respond to this pandemic.

That is

remarkable, the number of people sick in this hospital.

We know we are not immune to potential exposure, and we remain grateful for the courage and dedication of our entire team.

Detroit, Michigan's largest city has seen a surge of coronavirus cases in recent days.

While the state itself has seen just over 17,000 cases of the virus, the third largest total of any state in the U.S., More more than 5,000 of those cases were reported in Detroit, where hundreds have already died.

The invisible enemy is COVID-19 hiding in our cells.

COVID-19 may be able to remain in the body and reactivate later.

This comes after testing 51 recovered patients who found themselves with the same symptoms.

The patients from South Korea had spent time in quarantine while recovering from the disease and

they passed all the tests and showed that they were coronavirus free.

They were released.

Within a couple of days, they were back in the hospital.

The center said it did not believe the patients had been reinfected, but that the virus had remained at an undetectable level in their cells and for some reason later reactivated.

The claim runs contrary to the bulk of current evidence about how the virus works.

Investigators say the most likely explanation was that the clearance samples for the patients were false negatives.

This is a common issue.

Now they're saying maybe we shouldn't go to the grocery store at all.

Coronavirus deaths are spiking in Los Angeles and with the critical week ahead, health officials have advised residents on Monday to stay at home and avoid shopping to limit the spread of the virus.

If officials say you have enough supplies in your home this week and next week, you should skip going out or doing any kind of shopping whatsoever.

Officials confirmed 420 new

coronavirus cases in the county and 15 deaths on Monday.

Have you heard that there is a surge now of coronavirus with those people who were working in grocery stores?

They are starting to get sick now.

The biggest problem that I see coming from this besides the American economy and what's going to be done with socialism comes from Mexico.

Mexico, this is the first time I've seen this story, Mexico's slow response may cause problems for Texas.

As recently as March 15th, some 40,000 concertgoers crowded into a stadium for the Latino Music Festival.

Tourists from Europe and the United States were able to enter the country without any restrictions until late last week.

Restaurants, airports, subways, grocery stores remain open in Mexico City, though churches and large markets have closed.

The rapid spread of the COVID-19, however, has begun to increase the urgency of the government's response.

Mexican health authorities reported on March 16th the country only had 82 cases of COVID-19.

Two weeks later, that number swelled to nearly 2,400, including 125 deaths.

The health minister,

Hugo Lopez-Gatal,

who two weeks ago dismissed U.S.

social distancing restrictions as an extreme tactic and irresponsible,

is now urging citizens to stay home, stay at home, stay at home.

End quote.

If you have enough food, stay at home, still quoting, there is no reason good enough to go out, period.

The president, President Oberdor, spent the first half of March dismissing the gravity of the virus, encouraging Mexicans to frequent restaurants and posting videos of himself in crowds kissing babies.

He said Mexico's spirituality is going to protect the country against the virus, and he made a public display of pulling out two religious amulets that he said would be his shield.

And finally, is this the virus or is this the big government communists in China?

Hong Kong is now closed to all foreign travelers indefinitely.

The city has extended its ban on arrivals after most cases over the past two weeks have come from overseas.

Only six of 24 newly infected yesterday are local transmissions, but all are linked to entertainment venues that are already closed.

All entertainment venues are closed until further notice.

Hong Kong recently issued a new state of emergency order revoking travel into the country from outside the nation, including China.

The order will prevent Hong Kong from opening up its economy through at least early May.

There's one more story that we missed yesterday, and that is, when do you think we're going to open up our borders and open up our economy?

Well, there is a group that has done a study on this on when we are going to

open things up at all.

And it shows that if we

use the model used in China, it will be May 16th.

If we use the

SARS model,

we won't be opening things up until July 18th.

Sorry, June 18th.

June 18th.

But with China opening things up and Hong Kong opening things up and it hitting again,

all bets are currently off.

All right, let me tell you a little bit about Gold Line.

It is, it's hard to believe, but it may become physically impossible to buy gold because it's running out.

Running out.

How is that even possible?

Makes me want to get one of them old-timey pickaxes and a brosbreaker's hat and go digging in for gold.

Some place in those nuggets enough building those hills.

The nuggets down here in the economy seem to be running out.

Gold has always been been a sanctuary for investment against things like inflation, down economies, and collapsing currencies.

In the past couple of months, wealthy investors and even governments have heavily bought into gold.

Now, gold-selling sites are having trouble delivering on the promises to new customers because there's not enough gold.

Here's the good news.

Goldline is not one of them.

Goldline is still actively selling gold, which can,

and they are still actively shipping.

They still can and will and are shipping delivery of gold.

I have told you for a long time that gold is a hedge against insanity and that we were preparing for something and I didn't know what it would be exactly.

But I

feel like this is it.

I feel like

this in the long run

is what we've been looking at.

This is the beginning of woes, if you will.

By the way, did you see Temple Mount activists sent a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu the other day, called on him to allow them to make ritual offerings on the Temple Mount tomorrow to end the coronavirus pandemic?

Citing the biblical example of King David, whom the Bible depicts as being able to get rid of

the massive plague for the people of Israel by

giving offerings on the holy site.

They wrote, God willing, because of this action, the Lord will remove all illness from us.

That might be, but can we please leave the Temple Mount out of all of our future plans?

Please, I just, let's not hasten anything, please.

Anyway, gold is the one safe haven for insanity, and I highly recommend that you act right now.

Goldline.

Go to goldline.com or call them.

They're waiting for your phone call.

Tell them that I sent you.

Ask them about how I buy gold and why I buy gold the way I do.

Call 866Goldline, 1-866-GoldLine.

Go there now.

They're waiting for your call.

866-GoldLine.

We pause now for 10 seconds.

Station ID.

Welcome to the program.

Today is the day that our new book is out.

We get it here.

You're always arguing with people.

This time it's socialists.

Hang on, there's kidney.

Arguing with socialists.

Arguing with socialists,

it has everything that you might need for these times.

I mean, I thought we were going to be arguing this politically.

I thought we were going to have to make this

case

to our friends who were voting.

But now I think we have to make this case to the politicians in Washington because they are doing all of these socialist things.

So let me just give you the names of some of these chapters.

Capitalism, baby, or bathwater.

Is socialism just sharing and caring?

Socialist utopias and their bloody history of failure.

That's one of my favorites.

Swedish style socialism, another one of my favorite chapters.

Building a 21st century socialist nightmare, saints, sinners, and socialists, eco-socialism and climate change, and the last chapter is a better way.

You will learn more in the first chapter, just setting the stage,

because

nobody will ever define socialism, capitalism, capitalism with a safety net, democratic socialism, communism.

Do you know that communism has never actually been done?

This is in the first chapter, and it is, I mean, it is so clarifying when you go and you just look at the terms.

So we have to define the terms so we know what we're talking about, because socialism has become a little like the word God.

When you talk about God, people think about a different God.

All of us have a different...

a slightly different viewpoint of God, sometimes massive difference in God, but we're all using the same word.

That's the same thing that we had to define here on capitalism and socialism and communism.

What are they?

And so we went to the actual definitions of them and defined them.

And once you define them, it becomes very, very clear

what each of them do and why this particular crisis right now is so dangerous.

Because Everything that you're seeing being done with these bailouts is giving the government or the Fed property.

It's giving them access into your world so they can have control.

And it's extraordinarily dangerous.

We're doing a book signing tonight.

Stu is,

Stu, you have all the party games and everything for the kids?

Because

we're going to have to.

Yeah.

I'm going to.

Stu's coming as a clown.

He'll be introducing.

He'll be entertaining the kids while we're doing the live book signing.

Yeah, I'm going to be going to the party supply store later on today to make sure I pick everything up.

Yeah, okay, good.

Our online book signing, make it into a family thing.

We'd love to hear from you.

You just go to GlenbeckbookSigning.com.

You can buy your book there.

You have to buy it online from that site today.

That way we can actually have it signed for you.

But you do that at Glenbeckbooksigning.com.

We'll sign it.

Bring your family virtually.

It would be something to break up the evening.

It starts at 7 p.m.

Eastern,

and we'll see you there.

Glenbeckbooksigning.com, or you can go to Glenbeck.com and find out more.

But it's out today.

If you know of a bookstore that's open, they opened the seal last night.

Most likely, it's just sitting in a darkened

back warehouse.

But you can get them at Amazon or wherever you buy books, arguing with socialists.

Great new book.

All right, Stu, what haven't we covered so far today?

Well, I mean, I can tell you one thing we haven't covered, which are the accusations against Joe Biden from an accuser of sexual harassment and assault.

In fact, I don't think anybody in the media seems to be covering that whatsoever, which I do find to be completely fascinating.

The double standard is something that we talk about from time to time, but I really, at times, it's so overwhelmingly obvious.

It feels like it's needed to be pointed out.

Where they trashed Kavanaugh completely for completely unproven

allegations.

And here's the situation with Biden, and they don't even want to pay attention to it at all.

So, can I just point out that

when it came to Kavanaugh, Alyssa Milano was one of the people that was just leading the charge against you have to believe all women, you have to believe all women, you have to believe all women.

Well, she came out with a statement

yesterday, and she was like, Well, no, not all women.

You don't have to believe all women.

Can we play the Alyssa Milano statement on Joe Biden?

I have not publicly said anything about this.

And if you remember, it kind of took me a long time to publicly say anything about Harvey as well, because I believe that even though we should believe women, and that is an important thing, and what that statement really means is like, you know, for so long, the

go-to has been not to believe them.

So, really, we have to sort of societally change that mindset to believing women.

But that does not mean at the expense of not,

you know, giving men their due process and investigating situations.

I like that.

And I like that.

And giving, you know,

it's got to be fair in both directions.

Wow.

Due process.

Listen,

what an interesting unit.

I've heard of concept.

What a concept.

We should write that down.

We should put that in a document someplace.

Due process.

I love how her big piece of evidence is.

You know, I also didn't judge the connected Hollywood person who is a large Democratic donor really quickly either.

Right.

Like, yeah, Harvey Weinstein.

We remember we didn't judge that one early.

We were complaining about that at the time, too.

Right.

You were right there on the bandwagon for Kavanaugh.

But Harvey Weinstein, I mean, look at the guy.

Everyone in Hollywood knew that about him.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I'm not sure.

Really?

It's really fascinating.

Stretch.

You know, just because the fact that she happens to be endorsing Joe Biden, this particular one, she just wants to wait for due process.

It's so embarrassing.

And look, it's Alyssa Milano.

I mean, what are we going to take out of that?

But this is, you know, think about this.

Nobody is covering this.

No mainstream media source is covering these allegations.

And I think you can look at these standards being set up.

Say standard one is Kavanaugh, standard two is Biden.

And I think absolutely say the Biden standard is much closer to what we should be doing as a society, right?

Oh, yes, of course.

We go through a legal system.

We have actual arguments made by attorneys in court

or we don't go through and drag people through the mud in the media, right?

Unless we have these things and real facts.

That's just not what they apply to any conservative.

That goes to not only people like Kavanaugh, but even to people like Roy Moore and a million other examples who may or may not be guilty.

The bottom line is, you get evidence and you treat people with due process all the time, not just when they align with your views.

I like that.

You like that?

Oh, is that a good idea?

Is that a new idea, Stu?

Did you just come up with that?

Crazy

process.

I'm going to write that down.

Due process.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right.

I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's Life Lock, relentlessly protecting your family.

You're going to miss the things that are happening on the dark web.

The bank isn't looking on the things for the dark web.

Glenn Beck Arguing Socialists is out today.

If you go to GlennbeckBooksigning.com, the event is tonight.

Well, yeah,

welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're glad you're here.

Americans have turned hardline.

This one scares the hell out of me.

New poll taken.

67%

want to ban all interstate travel.

68% want fines for rule breakers.

67% of likely voters say they would want to ban all out-of-state travelers from entering their state except for emergencies.

21% are opposed, 12% unassided.

As

for fining those people who break social distancing guidelines, 68% support a fine, 20% oppose it, and 12 are not sure.

I wonder if...

You don't have no excuse for the 12%.

No excuse.

Make up your mind.

I wonder if there's an element here.

I know

some people who are very concerned with personal liberty are making a lot of arguments about

whether this thing is real and whether

it's really going to be this serious and have been kind of pushing that side of things for a while, which

I really want to believe that.

But also, there's some interesting things.

And we, of course, never get the real picture from the media.

I do think, though, that potentially potentially telling everybody that it's not going to be that big of a deal is surprising many.

And it's surprising many showing up in their polling is surprising many conservatives as to how serious this is going to be.

As we were talking about, you know, there was a poll that came out recently that said 70%

of people polled thought there would be less than 10,000 total deaths in the next year from coronavirus.

We passed 10,000 deaths 11 days later.

So 70%.

So it's not just, you know, certainly not just Republicans.

It was tons and tons of Democrats who also believe this.

And 11 days later, we passed 10,000 deaths.

So all of these sort of best case scenarios we were talking about two and three weeks ago, we've already passed them, right?

We've already passed all of those.

And I think a lot of people who were

who kind of were friendly with the argument that this was not going to make a big impact, unfortunately, are leading

a lot of people to be surprised by how bad it's gotten and start panicking and running to government and running to please stop my travel and running to close everything down forever.

And that is not a good instinct either.

I think we wind up in these moments kind of going probably a little bit too far and not a lot of sober decision-making gets done in a pandemic.

So that is another side of the future.

It's not like Battle Forever.

I can't stand it.

You know, it's not like we've ever rounded up Japanese people

to panic.

I mean, we don't make good decisions.

We just don't make good decisions when you're panicked.

Don't, don't, don't, don't do this.

Don't do this.

Look at some of the things.

Look at some of the things that are happening right now and government overreach.

Snitches get rewards.

Can't get over that.

Snitches get rewards.

It's not like the old one, snitches get stitches.

This is snitches get rewards.

See?

Instead of snitches get riches.

I know.

The riches one really bothers me.

It's like you've got something that means the same thing that also rhymes.

Snitches get riches is much better.

Just go with that.

Either way, it's a.

It's a government.

It's a government official.

Yeah.

And also a horrible, you know, society-destroying instinct.

Snitches get rewards.

The Rhode Island governor send the National Guard out door to door to search for New Yorkers.

Vermont tells big box retailers to stop selling non-essential products.

99-year-old charged after attending a party during the state ban on gatherings.

Kansas says it's using residents' cell phone location data to fight the pandemic.

New York City wants you to call the cops on people who fail to social distance.

South Padre Island setting up checkpoints to enforce stay-at-home order.

Disobedient paddle boarder chased by patrol boats in California.

That was insane.

California, or sorry, coronavirus Delaware, police authorized to pull out-of-state drivers over during pandemic.

Ankle monitors ordered for Louisville, Kentucky residents exposed to COVID-19 who refused to stay home.

Cops break up grade school teachers' driving parade for violating governor's stay-at-home command.

Police issue citations, find woman who is just going on a drive amid coronavirus stay-at-home order.

These are insane.

Yeah, these are insane.

That one isn't particularly interesting to me because

it actually seems like going for a drive is a great idea for people who are stuck in their homes for long periods of time, can't go anywhere, can't stop and do much of anything except for maybe going outside for a walk if you're lucky.

Why wouldn't you actually be encouraging people to go for drives?

You're inside.

You're only with the family that are in your home.

You can't really,

you're not going to a location.

It's not like you're going to sit down at a restaurant on the drive.

You're going to maybe see scenery or you're going to

just

go look at nice houses in your area or whatever the thing is.

At least

it's an activity.

If you stop me, aren't you exposing me to the police officer and the police officer to me?

Much worse.

Well, and much worse.

What are you doing?

That's a great point.

What are you doing?

That's a great point.

I don't understand why they keep saying this.

And, you know, I get like there's some line here, I guess.

If someone who is obviously ill is out there coughing on people in public, I get it.

Maybe if there's large gatherings or multiple large gatherings, it's something the community might not like.

I understand that.

And there's huge risks to some of that stuff.

But like, when you're talking about one guy in the ocean

by himself,

You're talking about people going for drives with the family that they're already quarantined with.

these are not, this is ridiculous.

And of course, as we know, they're going to overreach.

I know, Glenn, that's a huge part of arguing with socialists.

Like, they take these crisis moments and they go through, and this is how they exploit them.

You explain it in there.

And it's true.

They do this over and over again.

We saw in Spain already.

Now, Spain has had some of the worst breakouts of this entire

thing globally.

And already they have instituted a universal basic income and already announced it's permanent.

It's not a crisis measure.

It's already permanent in Spain.

See, they won't announce it here.

They won't announce those here as permanent.

They just will become permanent.

You know, they won't have sunsets to them.

They won't be just for a set number of months.

Yeah.

They'll just become permanent.

You're not getting rid of these things.

And that's the scary thing.

They might be right for us right now, now, but they are not going to be right for the economy.

And all of these socialist utopian ideas right now are all being pushed.

All of them are being pushed.

I mean, it's, it's, by the end of this thing, we could have lost literally our freedom to have most of our private goods, private, you know, private ownership to different things because who's going to own it?

Who's buying all of these mortgages?

Who's buying all of this stuff?

It's the Fed.

Who's going to buy it from the Fed?

I mean,

I just, I think

we are going to look at the end of this thing

with very different eyes.

And I can't believe that 68% of the American people are saying, yeah, we should,

yeah, we should get those people.

No, no, no, no, we shouldn't.

No, we shouldn't.

We should not be arresting people for this.

I mean, if you're going on a subway and you're spitting on someone,

you know, and you're intentionally doing it, yeah, okay, well, then

you're exercising malice.

But I just don't want to live in a country where

all of this is shut down.

I mean, I'm not comfortable with us shutting down businesses.

Churches.

I mean, churches.

I'm just not.

The federal government, this is not going to make us whole.

When the federal government tells us to do something, they have to make us whole.

If I lose my business because of this,

they need to give me some

payment to make me whole because they were the ones who shut me down, told me what to do.

That's not my fault.

Yeah, no, totally.

I'm just not comfortable.

And, you know, look, we all want the economy to be open and we all want it to happen when whatever the right point is to minimize the amount of you know human toll that we have to deal with here and it's it's interesting that there's a lot of people who are big Trump fans who are not explicitly criticizing Trump but are implicitly criticizing Trump by saying all of these things that Trump is recommending are wrong I mean I would argue here that Trump because as you point out, Glenn, it would be completely wrong for the federal government to close down businesses, but they're not doing that.

What the federal government is saying is, hey, we think you should

shut down your business.

We think you should social distance.

We think there should be no gatherings of more than 10.

Those things are recommendations coming from the federal government.

Trump has been very restrained in not turning those into federal edicts that would be borderline unconstitutional.

He's also...

You know,

if this was Barack Obama, they would be federal edicts.

Yeah.

And people would celebrate.

They want the president to have that power.

They seem to even want Trump to have it on the left, which is incredible.

You guys, you keep telling us he's Adolf Adolf Hitler and you want him to control more and more of the economy.

It's nuts.

But it is bizarre.

But I mean, I think, you know, I keep coming back to this.

I think Trump has walked this line so far pretty well once we got into this crisis.

You know, he's not made them federal edicts.

He's ramped up the private sector to now test more than anywhere else in the world.

Even per capita, our numbers are now impressive when it comes to testing.

He's executed a strategy of recommendations over attainable periods, a couple of weeks, and then he went for one month.

I don't know how much longer we can go than that.

I don't know.

But I mean, he has gone out and said, okay, we have till April 30th and let's reassess.

He's not doing what, let's say, Virginia is doing when they're saying everything's canceled till June 10th already.

He's trying to take it as the evidence comes in.

And, you know, there's so much criticism right now of like Washington, D.C., and quote, the government, from a lot of people who typically are very friendly to Trump's viewpoints without actually calling out Trump.

Well, Trump, you could call out Fauci all you want.

Trump, it's Trump's job to make these decisions.

And I think Trump has made a lot of good ones through this.

I do too.

I really thought

in a crisis that he would

he would nationalize banks and everything else.

I'm still concerned about that, but he's not showing any signs of these.

He's fighting.

He's resisting all of these things, which I'm really, really impressed with.

Now we just need to get the rest of America to be as impressed with it as well.

He's doing a really good job in holding the line of freedom, which honestly I did not expect.

This is another hurdle that

he had to cross with me.

And because I, you know, during the election, I said, if there's a crisis, he is going to spend us into oblivion.

And, you know, he is.

But I said that he would nationalize, yeah, not just him,

that he would nationalize the banks.

We would nationalize all kinds of stuff, including health care, and we're not doing it.

And I think that's fantastic, just fantastic.

You need to let the president know that you're behind him on these things because the pressure on him to do this

has got to be enormous from both sides of the aisle.

On tomorrow's program, I want to talk to you about what happens when this comes back in fall and they tell you we've got to go back inside for a few months.

Oh, I don't think that works out well.

All right, let me tell you about Takovis.

Where do we all turn when things fall apart?

What do we lean on?

If you're like me, we all lean on the things that have endured and things that have been, you know, survived the test of time.

Your closest friends, your family, your favorite movie that brings a smile to your face, a favorite recipe of some sort of meal that brings you comfort.

These are the things that we build our life on, especially in times of crisis.

That's why we turn to those things in times that are good and when they are bad.

The simplicity of those things is their greatest strength.

That is the same thing with Tacovis boots.

One of those things that you can lean on is a pair of your Takovis boots.

At Takovis, they don't see themselves just as makers of quality boots and Western goods.

They believe that a good pair of boots can change the way people feel about themselves.

And I agree with them.

When you put on a pair of Takovis boots, you are putting on something that is made to last, that not only weathers the storm, but comes walking out of it at the end, stronger.

Tomorrow night at 9 p.m.

Eastern on Glenn TV, the coronavirus came from China.

But is our reaction to it turning America more red than red, white, and blue?

Glenn asks the questions the media won't.

Where did the virus come from?

How long had China actually been dealing with it?

What are the real number of deaths in China?

And why is it racist to dig for the truth?

Glenn says it's time to hold China, our media, and our government accountable before it's too late.

Arguing with Chinese socialists tomorrow at 9 p.m.

Eastern on Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

You're listening to Glenn Back.

Welcome to the program.

Boy, I just, I mean, I had to listen to the rantings of a crazy man in the break.

Stu is just all wound up on this point that,

you know, Donald Trump can't be both good and bad on this point.

You know, closing the economy.

There's a lot of people who are supporters of Donald Trump who are blaming all of the closings on these doctors.

No, no, no.

No, Donald Trump is the one who's closed it,

which gives me a lot of comfort, quite honestly.

I think Donald Trump would be the first to come up and and say, you know, Fauci's a fathead.

Fathead Fauci.

You know, I mean, he would do that.

If he thought that Fauci was wrong, he'd be calling him fathead Fauci right now.

Okay.

That's totally true.

So, right.

So he has seen it.

He's intelligent.

He's not being duped by any of these people.

That seems to be the implicit allegation is that Donald Trump is being duped by these doctors.

Like he can't understand.

Like they're giving him these recommendations and he should realize that we shouldn't have done any of these shutdowns, but he's being fooled, and we have to save him.

And it's like, well, even if that were true, that would be a terrible president, right?

Donald Trump isn't being fooled by these people.

He's seeing the evidence and he believes it's serious and he's doing what he believes is right for the country.

And I think, honestly, so far, he's done a pretty damn good job at walking that line, which is an impossible line to walk.

Wow.

I mean, listen to you.

Listen to you.

You're in with Fathead Fauci.

You're just trying to

fool the president.

I think the president is doing a great job on this.

It shows incredible balls, and the media,

I mean, just doesn't recognize it.

And neither do a lot of his supporters.
