Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

I just have to start with this.

Have you seen that Dr.

Oz now has told Cuomo to lift the ban on the anti-malaria drug?

Dr.

Oz, okay, if he does it because Dr.

Oz,

they were just saying,

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

That's all he is, a TV star.

Dr.

Oz, a TV star, really

that they are eating their words.

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

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

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

And I want to stop.

First stop in perhaps California, where a disturbing video was going viral yesterday of what appeared to be, well, she was an Asian woman.

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

She was an Asian woman.

And

she was touching everything in this Best Buy.

She touched every single computer, every phone, everything.

And a store worker was monitoring her and said, what, do you have to touch everything?

You know, there's coronavirus going on.

Why are you touching absolutely everything?

Do you have to touch everything?

She said, yes.

And she was.

She was touching everything.

Now,

what is this?

What is this?

Could be, and here's probably where we should jump first, a mental health issue.

Mental health issues in the United States are off the charts right now, and it's only going to get worse.

But also,

I think we are headed towards a time when

China

is

going to be named our number one enemy.

Donald Trump has been on this bandwagon for a while, but I think, as you will see tonight in our Friday exclusive on Blaze TV, there's a case to be made that China

should be considered what's been happening possibly an act of war.

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

This is the Glenbeck program.

Oh my gosh.

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

Omaha steaks.

That's really the that's the only difference.

At least that's the way I feel.

I feel the difference between Mad Max and I can still fire up the grill and I can throw an Omaha steak on where that was not happening in Mad Max.

There is a sense of danger in the air.

There is a sense of, holy cow,

everything's changing.

You get to the grocery store and they've got pickles, pigs feet, and you're like, oh, well, as long as we got pickles, pigs feet, I could last forever.

Would you do yourself a favor and have your meat delivered safely to your house?

Omaha Steaks now has a limited-time stock-up sale available for you and your family to stock up on the steaks that you love.

They have easy to make

side dishes, all of it.

And they're all boxed up and ready to go right now.

Type in Beck in the search bar and shop today, omahastakes.com.

So in San Joaquin, San Joaquin County,

the Public Health Services

has now confirmed that their cases there in that county have exceeded a hundred.

And when they were asked to specifically provide the ages of those individuals their gender city how covet 19 was acquired the agency was also asked to provide the number of hospitalizations the number of patients who required ventilators how many resided in nursing homes how many stayed in home to recuperate how many had recovered the county health officials have declined

We're not sure why they are declining, but is there something that we should be looking at in San Joaquin County in California?

They have repeatedly cited HIPAA,

but that's not something that I don't think other counties are

doing.

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

I don't know if you saw what happened with the New York Times, but they were monitoring people's movements in seattle did you see that story uh yeah yeah that that uh we did a guest on that last night that's i mean it's a uh

it's a very strange thing and they're they're talking about now uh finding like gatherings in like i think it was i think it was in brooklyn too where they they identified because of cell phone data a gathering that they sent authorities to uh based on on on on this

and invasive and the new york times said well, no, this was just all metadata.

We were not looking at anybody specifically.

And then in the article, and look at this person that lives here.

They went from three miles to 61 feet.

Wait, what?

I mean, we have to get into that as well.

The reason why I bring up San Joaquin Valley is

there is a very important military base or depot, if you will,

In this area is the DDJC,

which is their mission is to provide all the receive, to store, and to ship government-owned supplies and equipment to the military customers in all of the western U.S.

and the entire Pacific theater of operations.

This is our strategic platform, the West Hoast

hub of

all of our military operations.

So if we ever go to war in the Pacific, this is the supply line, okay?

And this is right down the street from this

Walmart that you might have seen yesterday

in a Twitter feed.

Now, I don't want to jump to any conclusions here.

I just think we should be opening our eyes to things.

And I'm going to

mounting that

what China has, what we're experiencing now is

close to an act of war.

They obviously knew much more than they were telling the rest of the world.

So the rest of the world was just not prepared.

The CIA now is looking into the numbers in China.

We know they lied to us and they lied horribly.

Today, I'm going to show you who's involved.

The WHO is absolutely involved in this.

We cannot trust the WHO.

And I will show you why tonight on our Friday exclusive on the Blaze TV, please join us if you're not a member.

I promise you, we will make it so well worth more than $5 a month.

We need to stay in touch.

We don't know.

Let me be real honest with you.

Did you see that ABC Disney has just furloughed all of their quote non-essential employees?

They said people who are not essential at this time,

they've closed the parks down.

I don't know when the parks are going to open again.

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

But

ABC is furloughing people because they say the advertising dollars are drying up.

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

That's going to hurt all of these national shows.

That's how we make our money.

And it is,

things are changing, and they're going to change quickly.

Just as quickly as they're changing in your life,

they are changing in our life as well.

We have made our Blaze TV subscription the lowest we've ever made it.

I mean, we crunched the numbers.

This is as cheap as we can possibly make it.

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

That's a $30 discount.

And we've cut it to the bone because we need to make sure that we are in touch in these times.

And if you buy the annual subscription now,

And it's like 70 bucks or something.

If you can afford that 70 bucks now, it's off your plate for a year and you don't have to worry about it.

And so we will stay in touch.

Go to blazetv.com slash Glenn.

use the promo code glenn now um tonight on our friday exclusive that's only for subscribers uh we are showing you a bit of an investigation that we're working on now for probably a couple weeks down the road on what china is doing and what they have done and something really bothered us with the who we why are they constantly standing up for china Why are they constantly taking China's side in this and saying, no, no, no, China is great.

Do we have the audio we played yesterday?

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

and he's talking to this woman who wants to know about what's happening in China and what's happening in Taiwan and

listen to what happened during this broadcast.

Would the WHO consider Taiwan's membership?

Now he just stares into the camera like

he's just can't hear it

says nothing.

I couldn't hear your question.

Okay, yeah,

let me repeat the question.

No, that's okay.

Let's move to another one then.

Right.

Because I'm actually curious on talking about Taiwan as well.

Now he looks down

and he pushes a button and he stops the Skype.

Unreal.

And she just looks like we decided to give Dr.

Howard another call to follow up.

And I just want to see if you can comment a bit on how Taiwan has done so far in terms of control.

Listen to his answer.

Taiwan.

Well, we've already talked about China.

China is not Taiwan.

It's not Taiwan.

She presses him again.

He deletes the interview.

Again, he stops the interview.

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

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

And that's when this interview happened.

We'll explain it tonight.

You cannot trust the WHO.

They are not.

They are in the pocket, and we will show you how and why they're in the pocket.

And you have to start looking at things differently.

China is not telling the truth, and they have their hands around the throat of so many organizations organizations and countries right now.

And they are just going to try to squeeze.

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

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

I told you, you know, when things really go crazy and you have a giant fiscal crisis, I've told you that that will lead us to war because you can change everything in a war.

Right now, we are locked down and the enemy is this invisible enemy.

If indeed they are trying to change the dollar and our financial system and even the way we govern, you are going to need something beyond a invisible enemy.

And I think China may be that actual enemy.

So let me go back to that woman in that store in California.

She's in this this store, if you haven't seen the video, and she is touching absolutely everything.

She's in the computer section, and she is, I mean, she's touching every screen, every keyboard, everything that is touchable, she is touching, and she is intentionally doing it.

I mean, Stu, is there any other

explanation of what you're seeing except she wants to touch, she's touching everything.

Have you seen this yet, Stu?

I haven't seen it, and I'm watching it now, but it does just appear like.

We gotta touch them all.

All of them gotta be touched.

This is a Walmart employee.

Ma'am, they all have to be touched.

You sure?

Why are you touching all of them then?

You know, the coronavirus is going on right now.

You sure?

Yeah, but you're in the middle of the moment.

She's going down the line.

She's touching everything.

Then she goes, she's on the computer.

She does both sides of the rack, touches absolutely everything.

Then she goes to the other side and she starts touching all of the phones.

Yeah, and to be clear, like touching almost doesn't describe what she's doing.

It's not like she's going and testing them.

She's legitimately, she's touching each one the exact same way.

She's sliding her hands across the back.

She's putting her hands on the keyboard for each one.

She's moving it all the same way.

You're right.

It almost looks like an OCD type of thing, but it looks intentionally like she's trying to basically put her hands on every place where someone else might touch it.

Okay, now this woman may be an American.

Let's not make the mistake that we made in World War II under the progressive guidance of the racist FDR.

So, this woman may be an American, and

she may be insane.

We don't know.

Mental illness is off the charts.

And there are people that like to do these things.

There are people that, you know, are white people that go into stores and lick ice cream.

So, I don't know what this is,

but it is concerning to me, especially because it is right there where our weapons depot is.

There are also a number of Chinese that are coming across the border.

Now

this, I believe, we did a story on this

what about a year ago, I think.

And we looked at the number of Chinese that are coming across our southern border.

It's off the charts.

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

I don't think that's what it is.

If I remember right, and we're looking into our archives today,

this is the Chinese mafia doing this.

They are shipping in people to Mexico and then getting them to cross our borders.

The thing you have to know is you are going to start to see really bad conspiracies mixed with fact

in the social media world, especially.

You can't trust the regular media.

We know we can't trust them.

You must have a source that you trust.

You must have a source that tries its hardest to get it right.

that you know is balanced, will not go one way or another just for popularity or ratings or anything else.

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

Find someone.

Find someone.

And then find another source as well.

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

And don't think that China, don't think that Russia, don't think that people in our own country are not already going online to to stir things up.

We have to be very, very careful right now.

Now is the time that I've warned you about.

This is it.

Please, please

be the stable rock in your world and in your family.

It's never been more important than it is right now.

More in a second.

First, let me me tell you about Relief Factor.

You know, the one thing you can't do is stand up for your country and fight for your country if you're in pain all the time.

You need to be clear-headed.

You need to not be on medication, opioids right now.

Boy, if you are

on opioids and you can find a way to get off of those, and I know how hard that is.

We should talk about that.

Would you write that down, Stu?

Let's talk about the opioid thing next week.

I know how hard that that is.

Please try to get off of them right now.

We need you clear-minded.

And if it's pain, would you please just try Relief Factor?

Maybe it won't work for you, but it works for 70% of the people who take it.

It worked for me.

It's really important that you are out of pain, you're as healthy as you possibly can be, and that you're clear-headed.

Please try it.

So, Stu, you know what's really freaking me out a bit is, you know, we had a different way to

position.

We thought of positioning this this book as it was coming out.

And

we thought it was because, you know, socialism is going to be the big thing in the presidential election.

Well, nobody's talking about the presidential election, and everybody was talking about coronavirus.

And now when you see what's going on, dear Lord,

the stuff that is in this book is even more important than it was.

We have arguing with socialists coming out next week, and some of the stuff that's being bannied about, for instance, national health care is in this book.

All of the facts about Sweden and Denmark and Finland and all of these great socialist utopias.

First, the truth, they are not socialist countries.

They're not.

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

They're almost all

much more free economically and with business than we are.

But you're seeing now some of these socialist countries, they're collapsing.

The socialist healthcare is collapsing.

But you're going to see cries.

I'm telling you, once you see what's coming on our border, you are going to have a humanitarian crisis.

And

it's going to overwhelm our systems.

And by summer, we're going to be having these debates.

All of that is in there.

All of the things about how we are printing our own money.

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

It's coming, but not soon.

The modern monetary theory.

It's the last chapter in the book, and it's already happening.

We have to be well informed and pass this to your kids.

Arguing with socialists, get it now.

Is the Glenbeck program ground, brown, brown?

All right.

Leslie lives in Washington state.

She has two dogs, Shiloh, a mastiff.

Holy cow, and Liam, a greyhound.

They're both about seven years old.

They're getting on in age.

and when they started being less active Leslie began worrying about them.

Plus Shiloh can be pretty picky about

what he would eat.

This was starting to be a problem because, you know, his health on top of the age, yada, yada.

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

She said within 10 days of starting both Shiloh and Liam, not only they started loving their food more, but they also started to have more energy.

They got more active.

And as a result, they've started being healthier and happier.

I have seen this in my own home with my own dog, Uno.

Rough greens is not a dog food, it's a supplement, and it has everything in it that they need that's all cooked out of regular dog food.

Rough greens, try it for 14 days, see if it makes a difference in your dog as well.

Go to Blazetv.com/slash Glenn to get that discount we were talking about, the biggest one ever, 30 bucks off.

Use the promo code Glenn.

It's Blazetv.com.

Promo code is Glenn.

Yeah.

Oh, what's up, Holmes?

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Glad you're here.

It is Friday.

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

Glenn, I'm a truck driver.

I feel like I'm on the front lines of this thing.

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

We haven't stopped.

In fact, we've ramped up production.

Really?

I mean...

Salad dressing has really gone through.

Well, anyway, I didn't hear your point about sacrificing yourself for the country and the economy on last Tuesday's show, but I did hear Stu talking about how you were trending in not such a good way.

You know what's crazy is they are still running stories about me saying that old people should go out and just work the economy and sacrifice themselves.

And if they die, let them die.

That's not what I said at all.

Not at all.

As we showed in multiple different ways with tons of evidence, it's not at all what you said.

And they know that's not what you said.

But, you know, again,

I guess it's easy material.

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

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

Don't treat me if I get sick, but I'll go out and keep the basic engine running.

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

I will do what I have to do so my kids have a future.

How can you possibly disagree with that?

Anyway, he says,

I'll continue to work and haul goods, whatever they are, throughout the country, no matter how bad this thing gets.

I'll even work and not go home so my family wouldn't get it.

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

Boy, we are so damn close to that.

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

They are, they've gone from, no, you can't even have the N95 mask.

That doesn't even work.

I mean, you don't even know how to put it on right to, I don't know, take a a kitchen towel and wrap it around your face.

That might work.

Why are they doing that?

Because we are going back out into the workforce.

They can't shut this down for very much longer.

I mean, I think maybe two weeks,

three weeks, but after that, we have got to open this thing back up.

He says, sorry if I sound rambling, but I am really passionate about this.

I thank you so much for your email.

Glenn, my name is Mark.

My family and I are small business owners in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

We've been under a statewide shutdown, and I still work a full-time job that considers me a critical essential employee, so I'm out in the mix, as they say.

My wife, special needs daughter, and another daughter have a compromised immune system.

I work more hours than you can imagine, and we are looking at the possibility of losing everything we have worked so hard for for so long.

I keep my chin up and I try to keep positive spin going for them, but inside I am so lost, not knowing where to go from here.

Please, Mark, don't give up.

Don't give up.

A path will open up.

I promise you, a path will open up.

Not knowing where to go from here, this government is so disconnected from our reality.

Our president, although he's not perfect, I feel has more heart for our country than he can express and is trying to do and trying to right the wrongs.

No matter what, well, you know the rest.

I support what's right for the people and what keeps us safe, and there's just so much wrong that is out of control.

I'm running on empty anymore for my love, for my family, my country, my God.

It's all that keeps me alive most days, but it's getting harder and harder for the chin up.

The next chapter is hard to see.

Mark,

that is what I'm trying to work on.

A next chapter, and to make sure that you hear the next chapter.

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

If we give up right now our chapter for our children,

there won't be a next chapter.

We will close the book on America and they will have to start from scratch.

The reason why the president was so clear when he first said we have to shut down the economy and the press was saying, How can you possibly

he said, Look,

do you know what it will cost if we just decimate this economy?

If we just have and let it run and everything is overwhelmed and we don't act in time,

everything will be lost.

What we're trying to do is shut the economy down and then restart it as soon as we can because you don't, you want to have something

left to be able to start back up.

This is the hope.

It's never been attempted before, but you know what?

Neither had going to the moon.

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

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

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

But that's what we do.

Let me see.

Beverly writes in, Glenn, I just finished the seven wonders that will change your life, and I am truly amazed at the depth and spiritual messages that are within this book.

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

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

This is something that I put out, what, 2010, Stu?

2009?

Yeah, that's a good idea.

This This is going back in the catalog a little bit for the seven, uh, the seven wonders.

Seven wonders.

Seven wonders is a really, really good book.

It's how I changed my life.

And I wrote it with Dr.

Keith Ablow.

And

I wrote one chapter on why,

what I did.

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

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

It is a really, really powerful book.

I read it all because I just couldn't put it down.

Are you familiar with the concept of CEN?

It stands for childhood emotional neglect.

Been described in the book called Running Out of Gas or something similar and parallels your case for coming in terms with yourself and your childhood before you can really be content in your own skin.

Good job.

Thanks.

Sorry it took me so long to find it.

David wrote in, Glenn, I purchased some gold last week.

Not much, just a little bit of gold.

But when I told the Goldline representative that I heard the Goldline commercial on your show, you would have thought I bought millions of dollars in gold.

I couldn't have been treated better.

Hey, Glenn, I listen regularly on KTOK in Oklahoma City.

I must reach out to you about your comment last Tuesday morning that the tigers were the only one that made any sense on Netflix Tiger King.

Give me some credit.

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

I'm the county sheriff shown in the Joe Exotic Docu Series.

Not much made sense with any part of that zoo.

Approaching one year retired as the sheriff, I don't miss any part of that place.

I enjoy your show.

Keep up the good work.

We got to get, this is Larry Rhodes.

We got to get him on.

Oh, that's great.

Because he did make sense.

I just, I meant all of the main characters.

Every time they go to the sheriff, he'd be like, yeah, I know, it's nuts.

We all just thought this was crazy.

I mean, yeah, you were like me, Larry.

You, all the rest of America sitting on the couch, we're all looking at you going, yep, yep, yep.

Glenn, longtime listener, first time reaching out.

Being a conservative in a very liberal area.

Being a conservative, a very liberal area is very hard.

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

Obviously, the situation has delayed everything.

In college, I was ridiculed many times from my point of view.

Plattsburgh State University, way up in upstate New York, all the bumper stickers will say Bernie Sanders, Mike Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren.

As I say when I drive in, welcome to the USSR.

It is crazy in New York.

I want to thank you for being positive during this insane time.

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

My coworkers believe everything the mainstream media tells them, and as you and Stu point out, it's super depressing.

But you guys helped me get through it.

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

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

I had to run to the...

I know.

It's killing me.

I mean, you know, the one you could be impressed with is Gavin Newsom.

I think Gavin Newsom has done a pretty good job.

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

But generally, no,

yeah, right.

I'm not saying that he's a saint, and I'm not saying that you trust him.

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

I wouldn't say Cuomo.

Well, yeah, I mean, just on the evidence here, Glenn, you know, California looked like they were going to have a massive breakout in a couple of places as well.

It has not been as bad, nearly as bad, as New York.

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

You know, I'm not, look, Gavin Newsom is Gavin Newsom, but in comparison, if you're picking Andrew Cuomo or Gavin Newsom based on performance in this thing, I mean, Newsom is completely outperforming him.

I just feel like the people in the media all live in New York City, and he's the one person who looks mildly competent around there, even though he's not.

And they're all terrified for their lives, and so they're watching him on TV every day.

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

Yeah, I think so, too.

And it looks like California, I mean, they haven't hit their peak yet, but it looks like California is doing

the numbers are starting to plateau, aren't they?

Yeah, but it's not like it.

They did not have as big a breakout as you would have expected.

You know, there's

some belief that maybe the strain that hit the West Coast was a little more mild and that mild part of it.

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

They were

a little bit more aggressive in trying to control it.

The same thing you could say about Washington, by the way,

with Inslee.

It looked like that was going to get really, really bad.

And

people love Jay Inslee back in the day when he was talking about global warming every single day.

But

again,

I don't think any of these people should be president or get any buzz for president.

And Joe Biden has this thing wrapped up unless he decides to walk out.

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

No, it does.

It makes the sense.

And you just kind of danced around it a minute ago.

It's New York.

And to put it plainly, what you just said was

the press only pays attention to things that

affect them.

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

Oh my gosh, have you seen what's happened on 33rd Street?

I mean, they're just, they're so focused on themselves and their arrogance.

That's the only reason why he's a superstar.

By the way,

I have to go back and look at the actual email.

The 25-year-old pharmacy tech, I'm going to send you a copy of my new book.

He ends his email with, thanks for helping this young conservative live through tough times.

Hope to meet you in Stew one day.

Never been to Texas before.

Well, you may never be because you're in New York.

We may quarantine you forever.

But

I'm going to send you a copy of my new book, Arguing with Socialists, because you need it.

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

It's really, really funny.

Full of stats.

Do not ever quote me that's why we put about a hundred pages of really fine print footnotes in the back so any fact that you find it's not coming from me make sure you quote the New York Times or whoever else we looked for all of the best sources that that lefties would find it hard to argue with so all of the facts are footnoted there in the book by the way you can get that book it's available at well

you can have it this weekend probably if you order it now I don't know if it's going to be in bookstores There are crates of them now in bookstores that are closed, but you can order yours at Amazon right now, arguing with Socialist.

I would love to see this number one on the New York Times.

I don't even know if that's even possible anymore with the New York Times, but boy, would it send a message that arguing with socialists is number one on the New York Times?

Please order your copy now at amazon.com or wherever you buy books.

All right.

At long last,

as was foretelled in the prophecies of old, the great protective curtain of civil modernity had been pulled back and the age of the dude bro has arrived.

He hollers over his shoulders up the stairway for mom, mom, meatloaf.

It's not going to make itself.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

We're keeping our eye on a few things for you.

One is food shortages.

I do believe that because of planting,

crops, just because of transportation and

just different things, we are going to face some food shortages around the world.

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

Farmer and milk producers now are dumping thousands of gallons of milk that's just crossed my desk

as processing and delivery supply chain disruptions prevent the ability to get key ingredients to finish milk.

This is the peak of milk production for farmers.

Milk processors are full due to the lack of production capacity as workers have been furloughed or dislocated due to travel restrictions and confusion about what is essential.

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

Wisconsin dairy farmers are citing store closings and lower restaurant demands as milk or cream is a key ingredient in restaurant recipes, and the demand has dropped to zero in some areas.

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

Bill O'Reilly is coming up next, and I really want to talk to him about that letter that Donald Trump sent to Chuck Schuber yesterday.

It was delicious.

We'll talk to Bill O'Reilly and get his recap of the week in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

Program, program, program.

There in the vast wasteland of New York,

way out about 20 miles so far that no one could ever find it.

Millions of people locked in their towers.

Food shortages.

Dogs and cats sleeping together.

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

It's practically Mad Max, starring Bill O'Reilly.

Hello, America.

It's Friday, and Bill is up next.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Oh, gosh, I can't wait to talk to him.

All right, let me tell you about Mike Lindell.

Mike Lindell is going to be on tomorrow's podcast.

If you are a subscriber to the Blaze, it broke last night.

You can watch that episode right now.

But if you're not a Blaze subscriber, you'll get it tomorrow, wherever you get your podcast.

It is a don't miss.

Mike Lindell is a, he is

a crazy ass dude.

He is full-fledged nuts, but I think in a good way,

he is a guy who, his life was completely out of control.

Wait until you hear him tell the story.

He had meth and crack dealers.

Sit him down.

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

We won't sell anymore to you.

What?

What?

And it's because he had,

he got to know them, obviously, and he was like, I've, you know, I've got a mission in life.

I know I have a mission in life.

And he was providing hope for other meth addicts and crack addicts that

there would be a better tomorrow.

And they didn't want him to die.

It is the craziest story.

And now he's turned his life around.

He's using my pillow as a platform to do incredible things.

He was with the president this week, and he got hammered because he talked about Jesus.

But he is unafraid.

It is a great interview.

Make sure you hear it.

It'll be on the podcast tomorrow or Blaze TV now.

But he's the guy who runs My Pillow.

And I don't know how this is doing for his business, but he shut down one of his factories

here in America, and they've retooled and they are pumping out 50,000 masks every single day for the hospitals.

He's doing his part.

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

We need to turn back to God.

It did not make him popular.

But he's used to that.

May I suggest that you go to mypillow.com if you need a new pillow or you need new sheets.

This is not a pillow I thought I would like.

It really isn't.

I sleep with it every night.

I love it.

And I really would never have purchased one.

Never.

He sent me one, and he sent me the wrong one, and I didn't like it.

And he knew immediately.

He was like, you don't like the pillow.

And I'm like, yeah, I don't.

And he's like, you got the wrong one.

Let me send you another one.

See if you like this one.

He sent me the right one and I sleep with it every night.

I would have never purchased this thing.

I love it.

His sheets are great.

Right now, you get new listeners' specials.

You buy one pair of Giza Dream sheets, super, super soft.

Mad Max, aka Bill O'Reilly.

How you doing, Bill?

Good.

How you guys feeling?

You feeling strong?

Yeah, I'm feeling strong.

Feeling good.

Yeah, feeling good.

After good night's sleep with the dopey pillow, you're all right.

Yeah, yeah, with the dopey pillow.

You know, I don't know why.

I don't know why some of my favorite people, and I know you hated him, but

are like Don Imos and Bill O'Reilly, both just cantankerous, just

everybody else.

They don't get you.

I'm Imis's category.

I'm so much better looking than he is.

I mean, come on.

Well, especially now.

I don't know if you've seen him.

He's gone downhill.

But anyway, Bill, tell me what your thoughts are on, first of all, how New York is handling this.

What's it like to be in New York?

What's really going on there?

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

People are behaving.

They're staying inside.

Not a lot of traffic.

The food places are open.

The service is good.

There's plenty of food.

Actually, more food than there would ordinarily be because people aren't staying in and they're barbecuing and making tuna sandwiches or whatever they do.

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

I do talk to friends in there every day.

There is a little menace on the street as the crazy people who you can't control, they go out and there's not a lot of supervision of them.

I think that's a story the local media is not reporting because the local media is not out on the street.

The local media has kind of disappeared.

So you've got to be careful in New York.

There are people wandering around who are not good.

They will hurt you.

And you're not saying that that's necessarily just criminals, but there are also

people.

Right.

So the NYPD is,

as in my lifetime, always been,

heroic.

They have a lot of cases in there, but they still go to the precinct houses and they're in the cars and they're supervising what happens as best they can.

The EMS people, that is the untold story.

They're working round the clock,

taking people to the hospitals and without a break, double shifts.

Yeah, they're all geared up, but still, you know, this is one of the most contagious diseases the planet has ever seen.

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

3% are going to die

of people who acquire it, but it's so contagious and so undefined.

Is the mask going to help us?

My son was telling me, well, you can't touch cardboard.

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

So there's a lot of mythology around, a lot of misinformation, a lot of cowardly reporting, misreporting, political reporting.

It's a mess, whether you're in Long Island, New York City, or down in Texas where you guys are.

All right.

So, Bill, there is

a real debate going on right now.

I don't think we can argue that this is dangerous.

The numbers, if they just continue at the pace that they're at today, it will become the most deadly

virus

of the last hundred years.

I mean, it is really,

it looks like it's going to be bad.

If they just stay on pace and don't exponentially grow, by the end of next month, it will be bad.

And I think we've done a lot to contain it.

But the real debate here is, is the cure worse than the virus?

You know, Damar, I've heard this

on television mostly.

And I'm sitting here and and I'm going, look, if you're in a zone where there are a lot of people ill,

you're not going to be able to cherry-pick

what you do.

You're not.

Now, if you live in the Dakotas or Wyoming or Nebraska or places that have not been impacted, you should go about your daily life.

And that's the local authorities.

You should follow their lead.

It's not a one-size-fits-all.

But these commentators who are saying, well, you know, let the old people stay inside, the rest of us will go out, you're insane.

I mean, it's way too contagious.

So we're going to have to all sit down for two months.

That's what it did in China.

Now, I don't believe China at all, but there is independent reporting that the virus is on the decline in China, where it originated.

So I think we're going to have to do the same thing here.

And by May, you'll see the stats down, and then the local people will decide who can do what.

But to say, well, it's not worth it.

We're losing too many jobs, I think that's fallacious.

I really think that's dangerous reporting, and you're hearing it.

So, Bill,

I think that we need to keep the country closed, but there is a point to where you don't just fire these engines back up.

I don't know where that is.

I don't know if you know Stephen Moore, the economist, but he is a good, yeah, he's a good friend.

He's always very optimistic.

He got off the phone.

He was supposed to be on with me at this time a couple of days ago, and he got called into a meeting at the White House and said, I'll call you right back.

I'll call you next hour if I can get out of the meeting.

And so he had no time to process, and he was right on the air.

And I've never heard him like this.

He's like, this is just catastrophic, what is coming.

How do we balance that?

Well, first of all, speculation doesn't help anybody.

And I was critical of Fauci,

the doctor, because he's going, well, I might come back in the fall.

Hey, that doesn't do us any good, Doc, okay?

No.

You know, it doesn't.

All right, so you don't need to say that.

And number two,

hang on, hang on, hang on.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speculation isn't good, but being able to get people prepared for

possibilities for it.

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid people are going to think.

right, but I think people on when it's coming back, I think people saying, oh, well, okay, we're past it.

If they're not aware that it might come back in fall,

it will be,

you know, people have to understand that the second wave of Spanish flu,

it did come back and it was worse than the first.

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

it could come back.

I disagree vehemently unless you have data to back it up.

I'm sure you're aware at the University of Pittsburgh, they're now going into human trials on a medicine that will abruptly stop the pandemic.

So we're going to live in a totally different country in September than we're living in in April.

The whole country is going to be different in September.

And none of us know how that's going to shake.

So I don't need Fauci

telling me this might happen, it coulda, it woulda.

You just put out there, this is what we're doing, this is what the data says, and then in July or August, if you see a trend up, then you say, Yeah, okay,

everybody, but to scare people, and people are absolutely frightened.

I mean, they are crazed, some of them.

Not me, because if I die, we're probably all better off.

But most people

most people are fine.

I mean, it's debatable.

I mean, you make a good point.

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

But I don't want to speculate.

I don't want to speculate.

Look, there are two prongs to this reportage.

And I can't tell you how the U.S.

press, the journalism industry in America, is letting down every single American.

You would think they would rise to the occasion and put aside all the hatred, bias, and lies and just report the truth or try to get the truth.

You would think that that might happen.

And I will give you, I know we are up against a break, but I'll give you a really vivid example of a mass lie being reported by the American press.

A mass lie.

And there's no one to rebut it, Beck.

There's no one to combat it.

And this is so dangerous.

So that's one prong of the disease reportage.

The other is

people don't know what's true.

They don't know whether to wear a mask.

They don't know whether to dress up.

I got my daughter.

They don't know whether to

Bill, they don't know whether or not to wear a mask.

Yes, they should wear a mask.

All right, fine, but they don't know.

Some people say,

you know why they don't know?

People say, no, you don't have to.

It's all.

Do you know why they don't know?

They don't know because the combination of those in the government and mainly in the media that just don't trust the American people with information said, We're going to have a shortage of masks.

Tell people that they don't need those masks.

They need them at the hospital.

They won't work for them.

Of course, they'll work for them if they're working for the doctors.

Trust the American people and give them the information.

They'll do the right thing.

They'll do the right thing.

If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask if you can get one, okay?

But there isn't any definitive, if you wear the mask, you're not going to get it.

So don't think if you're wearing a mask, you're not going to get it.

Because you want.

Mask is basically for people who think they're sick.

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

But this is ill-defined, Beck.

The press does not define any of this.

They use it to try to hurt people they want destroyed.

They use it

for all of the pandemic to try to destroy people.

And it's so bad.

Okay, Bill O'Reilly, back with him in just a second.

Stand by.

Right now, I don't know about you, but I'm video conferencing all the time.

And,

you know, I'm not saying that

just out of the camera's view,

you know, I've got another device open with Candy Crush.

I'm not saying that.

No, I'm not.

But that's two devices that you've got on Wi-Fi at any given time.

Back with Bill O'Reilly in 10 seconds.

All right, so Bill, I agree with you 100% that all of these decisions should be made at the local level.

And it bothers me that all of these governors have been begging the president to you know

call up the National Guard for their states.

I think a lot of these, I had Candace Owens on yesterday, and she said, I think you know, I'd like to see, notice that all of these states that are begging for all this money are the ones that are on the verge of bankruptcy

and they're getting giant bailouts from the government.

I think all of these things have to be made at a local level.

But

you have states like Virginia that have now said

you could go to jail for leaving your house.

That's insanity.

Insanity.

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

But look, I agree that local and state-by-state should be the primary deciders in how the people are directed.

to fight this pandemic.

But you're not getting any kind of honesty honesty in reportage.

How much time do we have?

You've got about four or five minutes, four or five minutes.

All right, good.

Okay.

So at the national level, you are seeing now a movement to destroy Donald Trump

as a viable contender in November for re-election.

You're seeing that driven by the media, the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Boston Globe editorialized this week, Trump has blood on his hands because he didn't sound the alarm soon enough.

Here are the facts.

I want you and Stu to write them down.

Ready?

Yeah, I got my pen right here.

All right.

So President Trump, and I'm not trying to get him re-elected, I just want the truth.

President Trump stopped

flights from China on January 31st.

Got it.

At the same time,

Italy stopped flights from China to the Italian peninsula.

Those are the only two countries that did that.

Not one world leader, not one in January sounded the alarm, and neither did the World Health Organization attached to the UN.

No one sounded the alarm.

So Trump was first in stopping flights from China.

First.

Between January 1st, when the Wuhan virus was announced, and February 25th, the fourth Democratic debate of 2020,

not one Democrat mentioned the pandemic in the three debates.

Not one.

Not one moderator, questioner asked a question about it.

Not one.

These are facts.

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

Nothing.

The Blaze and O'Reilly.com

on January 22nd both sounded the alarm independently of each other.

I didn't know you did that.

The same day.

That was pretty early, January 22nd.

But no Democrats did.

Andrew Cuomo, the first time he sounded an alarm, was early March.

Now, the movement is the federal government, the Trump administration, hid the severity of the disease.

What?

Based on what?

You have a CIA report issued this week that says the Chinese communist government actively misled everyone

about the severity of the pandemic.

So how would anyone know?

It is just staggeringly dishonest.

And I talked to friends who hate Trump, okay,

and I told them exactly what I told you.

It doesn't matter.

They still hate him.

Well, he should have done so.

What?

What?

Is he clairvoyant?

can he read minds he was the first world leader check it out not one other world leader sounded the alarm before donald trump stopped those flights

that's the truth

I remember Bill thank you for this I remember hearing him stop flights from China and the world reacted that he was a racist and then I remember having my breath taken away when he said I'm starting all I'm stopping all flights from from Europe, which everybody complained about and said was reactionary.

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

I can't imagine a president doing that.

He was way ahead, and everybody mocked him for it.

Back with Bill O'Reilly.

Well, you know, it's one of these things where we're at home and we are having issues with

everything everything right now.

Things are hard to get.

It's hard to get everything shipped to you.

It's a pain.

Life's a pain right now.

And one of the things that you probably want to avoid if you are dealing with, if you wanted to talk to, like, for example, ED,

you don't want to go to a doctor.

You don't want to have a discussion with a doctor.

You're glad you live in this world for that one reason.

So you don't have to have any awkward in-person conversations.

Roman was built for this moment because Roman allows you to get treatment.

If medication is the right thing, then Roman will just ship it to you with free two-day shipping.

They've been doing this for a long time.

This is not new to them.

This is not some adjustment they're making for our current situation.

The process is simple and discrete.

You can go to getroman.com/slash beck, complete an online visit today and connect with the doctor to take care of it.

Go to getroman.com/slash beck, get a free online visit, free two-day shipping.

It's getroman.com slash beck for a free visit to get started.

Getroman.com/slash beck is the place to go.

All right, tonight on our Friday exclusive, a show you do not want to miss, Bill said you can't trust China, can't trust anybody, can't trust the WHO tonight on Blaze.

Hey, Mike Lindell is my guest

this weekend on our podcast that you'll hear tomorrow, wherever you get your podcasts.

It's already been posted last night.

Do it now at blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Bill O'Reilly is joining us.

Bill,

let's take this to politics for just a second.

How does the president

survive the economy?

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

I'm not sure that's true anymore.

What would you be telling the president or what would you be looking at if you were a presidential political advisor today?

Well, Americans are going to understand the economy is going to be

in trouble as long as the pandemic is

affecting people's lives and keeping them inside.

So I don't see that as a major problem.

But I've said from the very beginning of this whole ordeal that if Donald Trump can get the pandemic under control this summer, he wins.

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

However, the Democrats have a major problem because Joe Biden, as we discussed last week on this program, is

tottering.

His mental acuity is not what it used to be.

And everyone around him knows that.

That's why Andrew Cormo is warming up in the bullpen.

So we went over that.

I don't want to go over it again.

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

And that's where 100% of everything is going.

He can't do anything about the economy while this thing rages.

So that's the answer to your question.

Has the government done enough to tell people when their checks are arriving, tell people, businesses that are laying people off,

how to even apply for these loans?

When do you think that's going to be really

out there and people are using those things?

Well, that's an excellent point.

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

I mean, it's as simple as that.

So, I mean, I look, one of the reasons that you and I have been

in the forefront of this pandemic is because hundreds of thousands of people, maybe millions of people, trust us,

right?

So, at billoriley.com, we have an unprecedented surge of hundreds of thousands of people people a week coming in for information.

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

You'll get your check if you're under the threshold of earnings.

If you mail it in, you'll still get your check, but it'll be three or four weeks later because the bureaucracy takes that long to stuff it in an envelope and send it to you.

I can give you that information, but I can't give you micro information about small business.

So the

government should have a website and it should be promoted dramatically everywhere.

You got a question?

We'll answer it.

Come here.

That would be a good thing for the Trump administration to do.

And as far as I know, they have not done it thus far.

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

She says it will

unify our country and promote bipartisanship.

Your thoughts?

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

She couldn't come out of her house, and I'd disconnect all of her internet so she couldn't call anybody.

I think that the pandemic can be used for good in certain purposes.

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

Well, Chuck Schumer, did you see the letter that

sent him to?

The letter that Donald Trump wrote to Chuck Schumer yesterday was hysterical.

It was hysterical.

I loved it.

I don't know why Trump is even bothering with this.

Just go out on the...

on a little daily thing you do and then and say, look, Chuck, you're a moron.

Everybody knows it, and the only reason you're in there is because of the machine in New York.

And, you know, I'm not even going to bother with you anymore.

So, I don't know, writing them a letter.

But, look, this is the circus.

And I'm more interested in the folks.

The circus is the circus.

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

Repetitive.

They don't know what to do.

Tell me more.

What do you make?

How are their ratings?

How are their ratings, Bill?

Through the the roof.

Through the roof.

Because people have nothing to do.

They're sitting in the house.

And that brings me to my last point.

And I'm so glad you asked.

Yeah.

Okay.

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

Thank you for asking that, Glenn Beck.

And

that was my next question.

I'm sure you guys collaborated on this.

Right.

Right.

So every night on the no spin news on billorilly.com, I do a final thought, which is a personal thing.

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

But the most important one I've done is to

ask or suggest that every American keep a journal.

And at the top of part of that journal should be these words.

Is this doing me any good?

With a question mark.

Then you list down all the things that are in your life.

What you eat,

what you do recreationally, your friends by name, your relatives, and then next to it, is this doing me any good?

So if I'm eating a quart of Hagen-Daz every day, you've got to be honest with yourself to make this work, by the way.

No, that's not doing me any good.

If I'm yelling at the kids because I'm frustrated about my job or my status in life, is that doing me and the kids any good?

No, it's not.

But then there'll be,

Ziggy across the street is a good guy, and he's helped us out.

Maybe I get to know him a little bit better.

You see what I mean?

You put your life, and this takes time.

This takes

thought.

We got plenty of it.

Go ahead.

We got plenty of time.

I'm just saying.

No, no, no.

We got time to do that.

We're all time to do that.

Yes, we have plenty of time.

But you have to be brutally honest.

All right.

Is this helping my life?

And put down everything that you do.

So if you're wearing Sartreuse pants, is that really helping?

All right.

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

All right.

All right.

That kind of stuff.

Now, if you do that, because thinking has been wiped out in America, nobody thinks anymore.

They grab the dopey machine and they punch up some stupid game or stupid website because they don't want to go into the discipline of thinking.

But thinking is what it's all about.

That's what life's all about.

Thinking

about

doing things that help, not

okay, so let me, this makes it very difficult for me to ask you this,

but I think I can phrase it this way.

Bill, do you believe that the American psyche

is

in trouble?

I mean, we have some problems.

Yes.

Right?

Yes.

Yes.

And anything that you can do.

Hang on.

Hang on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Shush.

Anything that you can do, you personally, Bill O'Reilly, to help people,

that's important, right?

You need to seek.

Yeah, no, no, yes or no.

This is me.

No, no, I know.

Yeah, yeah.

Yes, it's about

it.

Got it, got it, got it.

Great.

I've got something that I think would help the American people.

And you're not going to want to do this, but I'm telling you, Bill, it will help the American people.

I want you to come on this show next week and tell me what you thought

of

Tiger King.

I want you to watch.

That's a stupid thing.

No, I know you don't, but it would be really good.

You

talking about the Tiger King.

How long is the episode?

What do they run?

They're like 41.

They're 41 minutes, and there's only seven of them.

Bill, Bill, Bill,

you actually giving your thoughts on Tiger King would be tremendous.

Tremendous.

For you and Stu, I'll do it.

Now, you've got to watch all of them.

I know.

Because I'm going to be in my journal.

Is this helping my life?

I know where that's going.

No, no.

It's not your life.

It's not.

Is this doing good?

Yes.

Is this helping?

Yes.

Because you'll be helping the American people.

It will be wildly entertaining next week.

All right.

So I got to watch some lion thing

that I got to watch.

Tiger King.

Yes, Tiger King.

You have to watch all seven episodes because I'll know immediately.

You have to.

You have to.

All right.

You can't.

You can watch one.

You'll completely be, you'll completely screw it up.

You have to watch.

Bill, I'm telling you, there's never anything.

You will learn things about America that you did not know.

It's

if I'm engaged, then I'll watch another one.

But I'm not going to lie to you and say I'm going to watch all seven stupid episodes of some cheetah running around.

Well, we will see.

We will see.

We will see.

I'm going to hound you.

I'm going to do that with you.

I'm going to hound you.

I'm going to hound you on this.

Hound you.

True life American story that is just unbelievable.

And I want to hear your take on it.

Yeah.

All right.

All right, Zach.

Thank you.

You're out of your mind, Deck.

You know that.

Goodbye.

Totally insane.

BillO'Reilly for BillO'Reilly.com.

I think he'll do it?

He'll watch one.

He'll watch one.

The question is,

will he watch them all?

I mean, how are you not intrigued?

How are you not intrigued?

I mean, I was hooked by the second one.

The first one, I was like, eh, okay.

But the second one, I was like, I've got to finish this.

Yeah, that's where I left off.

So this weekend, I need to get through the rest of them.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, oh, no, no.

You will love it.

By the way, started watching Ozark last night.

Oh, ooh, so good.

Ozark is one of the best shows in the past decade.

Yeah, it's really

good.

Very dark, but very, very good.

You think?

Was it the putting of the people in the oil drums in the first episode?

It gets to it quickly.

It does.

Yeah, it does.

So thank you for that, Stu.

Don't forget, Glenn Beck's new book, Arguing with Socialists, comes out on Tuesday.

You can be in the private sector and be a democratically socialist business.

And you need it now more than ever.

Economic rights are human rights.

It's the follow-up to his New York Times bestseller, Arguing with Idiots.

Same people, new facts.

Tax rates as high as 60 or 70 percent.

And new laughs.

You should be contributing more.

Or gasps.

Tippy tops.

It's Tuesday on Amazon, arguing with socialists from Glenbeck.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the program.

If you happen to be watching us on Blaze TV,

I'm operating from my own home and I'm in my art studio in my house.

And behind me, you will see a painting that I started yesterday.

I should have it finished by

next week.

It's the painting of American Gothic, you know, the

father and daughter standing in front of the house with the pitchfork.

I put them in surgical masks, and I should be done with that next week.

I'm going to auction it off for charity and see if we can raise some money to help some of these communities that are really hard hit with Mercury One.

So we'll be putting that up and maybe we'll make some t-shirts or something like that.

But

I really want to do my part in helping our charity Mercury One.

Yesterday we did a big fundraiser, raise some money.

We really need your help.

We are all over the country.

We are needed more.

We're helping with logistics and our partners on the ground are everywhere.

You can find out more about Mercury One and what we're doing at mercuryone.org

slash donate.

If you can donate,

we would really appreciate it.

And I'll be doing this auction.

100% of all of the money that goes to Mercury One for things like this,

100% of it goes right directly.

We don't take anything off the top.

It goes right directly to our local partners.

So you know that it's going, you know where every dime is going.

Mercury1.org slash donate if you can help out.

All right.

Have you heard about the hospital ships, you know, the Mercy and the Comfort?

Yeah.

You know,

they brought that in to New York, and they only have 20 patients.

One in L.A.

has, I think, 13.

The one in New York has 20.

And that's because

the ambulance can't bring people right to the ship.

They have all kinds of regulations and everything else.

I mean, they really need to suspend the regulations.

If that hospital ship is there to help people who have a heart attack, and they now say that EMS can't bring the heart attack people to the hospitals,

well, that's what the comfort is there for.

And they can't do it because of government regulations and city regulations.

Somebody's got to plow through all of that stuff and just be able to open these ships up.

They're there to help.

Let's actually get them to help people.

Everybody becomes a libertarian during a pandemic.

It's the reverse of what everybody's saying.

Everyone loves to get down.

When it really counts, you break down those walls.

Yep.

And you say us people on the ground locally know what we're doing.

We have a lot to get to this hour.

We have our daily coronavirus update, just to bring you up to speed on the numbers and some of the big stories.

Also,

we have from the Tiger King, we have Larry Rhodes.

He's the sheriff that's in that.

He's retired now.

He heard me talking about it this week and he wrote to me and he said, Glenn,

wait a minute.

Not all of us were insane.

We have him coming up in just a second.

Also, Charlie Kirk, beware of big government.

What's really in these stimulus packages and what we need to watch for.

That's coming up.

Also, Mike Lindell, just a ton of stuff happening this hour.

Don't miss a second of it.

We begin in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I have to thank God car mechanics are on the list of people who are considered essential workers in the U.S.

Otherwise, you know, you'd be fixing your own car as it broke down, or in my case, you'd just be walking and swearing a lot, probably.

You still have the mechanics.

All you need now to make sure that you can repair your car is to have Car Shield.

Car Shield has an avoidable protection plan that can save you thousands of dollars for a covered repair.

That includes the computer and the GPS and the electronics and so much more.

And with Car Shield, you're behind the wheel of the plan.

It's a customizable monthly plan with rates as low as $99 a month.

You can choose your favorite mechanic or dealership to do the work.

It doesn't matter because Car Shield writes the check directly to them.

You're not waiting around or anything.

They have a rental car while yours is in the shop.

They have 24-7

roadside assistance.

And they've already covered, paid out, I think,

I don't remember the number now.

I know they've helped a million customers fix their car.

The number that they have paid out is a little staggering, but they're America's number one auto protection provider.

With rates as low as $99 a month, you have nothing to lose here.

Get covered by Car Shield today.

The last thing you can afford is something major to go wrong with your car.

And we all know it will.

800 car 6,000.

All right, let's get through these as quickly as we can.

Total confirmed cases now worldwide.

We are now over a million cases, up from 950,000 yesterday.

Total confirmed deaths worldwide, 54,000.

That's up from 48,000 yesterday.

12% of U.S.

confirmed cases now require hospitalization.

That is roughly on par with Italy at 12% requiring hospitalization and lower than Spain, where it is 18% of the patients require hospitalization.

We now have 245,380 confirmed cases, and 6,095 people have died.

That is up.

About 40,000 from yesterday and up 1,000 deaths from yesterday.

The White House now is going to recommend all Americans wear face masks in public.

President Trump said yesterday that they are considering a recommendation.

He says a recommendation is coming out.

I don't think it's going to be mandatory.

If people want to wear the masks, they can.

However, we shouldn't be using masks that, you know, our surgeons and our nurses and everybody else need at the hospital.

Later, somebody from the White House said that they're going to narrowly target areas with highly

community transmission.

And that's the matter that remains under discussion, whether they're going to do this for the whole country or not.

New memo from the CDC says, in light of new data, CDC recommends the community use cloth masks as additional public health measure that you can use to prevent the spread of the virus to those around.

This news comes as Laredo, Texas joins more than a dozen American cities or counties that have mandated the use of face masks for all people in public spaces such as grocery stores or shopping centers.

Violators without a face mask, at least in Laredo, face up to $1,000 fine.

Similar provisions are now being considered in the entire state of California, according to Gavin Newson's

office.

Antibody tests are getting accelerated availability.

Unlike vaccine testing and production, which could take months, if not years.

SARS-CoV-19 antibody tests could be available in the U.S.

in just a few weeks.

Now, this could be the key to opening America back up and getting us out of our shelter in place.

If you already have an immunity to this virus, you could go back to work.

Most known coronavirus immunities, however, in humans are not permanent.

Researchers say that, you know, the flu, for example, it grants only a seasonal immunity and can be caught just a few months later.

So we have to watch this carefully.

The hospital ships are sitting empty.

The much-touted Navy hospital ships in New York and Los Angeles sit 95% empty as of last night.

In New York, the Comfort, 1,000 beds largely unused.

It's 1,200-member crew almost idle.

We're waiting for the patients, one of the nurses said.

Only 20 patients have been transferred to the ship.

New York hospitals

struggling to find space for thousands of infected with the coronavirus, but they're not sending any patients over to the USS Comfort.

The Navy hospital ship, the Mercy, in Los Angeles, docked, only has 15 patients there.

Michael Dowling, the head of Northwell Health, New York's largest hospital system, said, if I'm being blunt about it, this is a joke.

Everyone can say, thank you for putting up these wonderful places and opening these cavernous halls, but we're in a crisis here.

We're in a battlefield.

The issue is red tape.

On top of the strict rules preventing people infected with the virus from coming on board, the NAFI is also refusing to treat a host of other conditions.

Guidelines disseminated to hospitals include a list of 49 medical conditions that would exclude a patient from admittance to the ship, and ambulances cannot take people directly to the comfort.

They first have to deliver patients to a city hospital for a lengthy evaluation, including a test for the virus, and then pick them up again for transport to the ship.

911 call centers are already massively swamped in New York.

Ambulances are not available to take non-infected persons to each ship.

Meanwhile, across New York, hospitals are overrun.

Patients have died in hallways before they can even be hooked up to one of the available ventilators in New York.

Doctors and nurses who have had to use the same protective gear again and again and again are now getting sick themselves.

So many people are dying.

The city is running low on body bags, said the head of the hospital.

The coroner's office told our administrator to start double wrapping bodies in sheets for the time being.

Let me give you a hopeful sign.

University of Pittsburgh researchers have found COVID-19 a vaccine, they say.

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine believe they found a potential vaccine for the coronavirus.

Researchers announced their findings yesterday, believe the vaccine could be rolled out quickly enough to significantly impact the spread of disease.

The vaccine would be delivered on a small fingertip-size patch.

When tested on mice, the vaccine produced enough antibodies believed to successfully counteract the virus.

Scientists say they were available, they are able to act fast because they had already done research on similar coronavirus SARS and MERS.

Trump administration ordered the FBI to fast-track the next phase of animal trials for the experimental vaccine.

Officials warned that even if it success,

human trials and ultimate production could still be as far away as 12 to 18 months.

It's early, but it's a very positive result.

There's something going around the internet now that I want to dispel quickly, and that is up in Vermont and Maryland, people are saying now that they are making seeds to grow food illegal in stores.

Governor Phil Scott issued an executive order mandating that retailers, including Walmart, Target, Costco, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, cease in-person sales of non-essential items.

This makes Vermont the second state in the U.S.

to make gardening supplies non-essential.

Well, that's the problem.

The list of items deemed as non-essential includes electronics.

What?

Books?

Are you kidding me?

Furniture, sporting sporting equipment toys and gardening supplies or lawn care such items could still be ordered by way of various company websites according to the signs posted inside Walmart stores posted to Twitter by Walmart shoppers and it shows that there's a ban that you can't buy seeds our studios and our uh our staff just uh reached out to the governor's office we have not heard anything officially but we have gotten a couple of responses where they have just opened this back up walmart

as we called them, and we said, hey, what's going on?

They said it was a misinterpretation of the law and they are now calling those Walmarts to say, remove the signs from the seeds.

You're able to buy those seeds.

Again, it is really important, really, really important that you don't panic when you see things.

Many times it'll be a misunderstanding like this was.

Don't panic and don't feed into any of those problems.

That's your COVID-19 update.

We're going to take a quick break stations and then we're going to come back and we have the sheriff on with us

So Larry Rhodes is the former Garvin County, Oklahoma Sheriff.

He was the sheriff for over eight years, and many of those years, he dealt with the now famous Joe Exotic,

who we all now know from the Tiger King.

He wrote into the show just, what, yesterday or the day before to set the record straight.

He said, hello, Glenn Beck.

I listen regularly on KTOK AM in Oklahoma City, and I have to reach out to you about Tuesday morning's comment that the tigers were the only ones that made any sense on Netflix Tiger King.

Give me some credit.

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

I'm the county sheriff shown in Joe Exotic DocuSeries.

Not much made sense with any part of that zoo.

I'm now retired.

Keep up the good work.

Stay safe.

I wanted to get him on

and personally tell you, Larry, I did not mean that you didn't make sense.

I felt like you were the one that was sitting there.

You were saying all the things that I was saying the whole time, like, this is nuts.

This is nuts.

It was nuts, uh glenn uh that was uh that was eight years of my career that uh i won't get back

no no i i bet not so what point where did you come into this uh this saga what where in the

where in the show's life were you there when when joe

seemed to be kind of sane I mean, not really sane, but kind of sane at the beginning?

Or was he always?

Actually, I was, Glenn.

I took office in late 2010, and that's where I first met

you know, met Joe.

He would we would have to annually execute a contract

to deal with a protocol if some of these large cats got out.

So Joe and I early on

communicated regularly and things were pretty good at that point.

But as the zoo grew and as Joe got more exotic, so to say,

it really got out of hand.

And, you know, I might add, you know, toward the end of my career there as Garland County Sheriff, you know, he was accounting for

most

all of our calls for service in that immediate area of the county.

Shut up.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

It was a week.

I had deputies at that park almost on a weekly basis.

If it wasn't an external call for service away from the park causing us to respond and to investigate at the park, it was something internally.

And, you know, we had some pretty major cases as well at the park.

Like, what do we not know?

What did they not show us?

Well, the producers didn't show you quite a bit.

You know, if you can imagine, those producers worked on that documentary, I think, four to five years.

There are so many stories and backstories that,

you know, those watching the Netflix series, they didn't see.

I mean, just,

and I'm not talking routine stuff.

You know, for instance,

you saw on one episode where that

EF-4 tornado, it showed Joe talking about that tornado, and it was headed directly toward toward the park.

And I can remember I was responding to the area that was hardest hit by that tornado, and I was on the radio telling deputies, get to the park.

It is on a straight path toward the animal park.

And I was giving directions: you know, don't let any one of those big cats out.

You know, we'll have a larger problem than

what we were dealing with.

But, you know, at the last minute,

that tornado

took a turn to the

more to the east, due east.

But just little stories like that.

But

we had

people,

there were people on each extreme of the animal rights and

the exotic cat ownership

debate.

And, you know, my office was, go ahead.

I'm just wondering if there was anyone sane.

I mean, it seems like every single person, there's that one guy who's from Oklahoma that kind of looks like an orangutan.

A guy runs an exotic.

He ran the exotic bird thing or whatever.

He was the guy who was the

tried to

he did the entrapment or not the entrapment, but he did the spying there for the FBI at the end.

The point of my email to you was at least show somebody sane.

And even the producer said, you know, we've got to have some sanity in this docuseries.

So, Sheriff, can we talk to you?

I said, well, absolutely.

Right, but I mean, outside, I mean, in the big cat world, they all seem nuts.

They all seem nuts.

And I never knew that until I became sheriff.

And some of it was that Joe would, you know, he would hire and pay just, just,

you know, just pennies for people to work there.

And many people volunteered because that was their passion.

So, as you can imagine, the people that were attracted to work or hang around a zoo,

you know,

they were people that,

you know, thought, had extreme thoughts and

maybe didn't have much else going for them,

and therefore they were at the zoo working

or, you know, feeling like that was their place in the big cat world.

You know, I can see that.

There seems to be

what also led to this, Glenn, was I can remember times Joe would come to my jail and try to bond people out because he needed workers at the zoo.

You know,

he'd be back there looking at the jail list and, hey, I could use this person

or this, you know,

transitory person, and he'd bring them out to to the zoo and put them to work.

So that's what you got.

So it seemed like there was a plethora of drugs there.

Were you having to fight a drug ring there?

Or did you guys know that that was as prevalent or is it or was it?

It was prevalent.

We knew it's prevalent

on the park and

with some of the

workers that were around the park, just as portrayed

in that docuseries, Tiger King, there were drugs around that park.

Again,

just what I spoke to, some of the people that

were attracted to that park, you know, that was the lifestyle they led.

That was the environment they lived in.

And I wouldn't characterize it as a drug reen.

I mean, it wasn't, Glenn, it wasn't anything.

They weren't selling it.

Yeah.

It wasn't any bigger of a problem.

The drugs weren't in any other part in rural America right now with Matthews and addiction problems

we're having.

So it was

do you think that Joe,

in his own way, was a cult leader?

I wouldn't characterize him as a cult leader.

He certainly had a lot of influence over people,

workers, people who came to the park and would want to

donate and maybe sponsor the animals that he kept at the zoo.

You know, he had a lot of influence over people in that sense.

But as far as the cult,

you know,

most everyone at that park didn't stay there very long.

There were a few exceptions, and those are the ones that were shown on the show that that stayed there year after year.

But, you know,

we would get a call for service, Glenn.

I'm just telling stories here.

We'd go out there and we'd conduct an investigation.

We would try to go back and conduct a follow-up investigation.

That person would be gone.

They would be off to another state, never to be seen in Garvin County again.

It was

so, you know, cult-like, I didn't see that closed

community.

It was a public park.

Okay.

Yeah.

Larry, thank you so much for calling in, and I'm glad I didn't have to live your life.

But

what an amazing story it is.

Thank you very much.

Former governor, sorry, former sheriff from Garving County that was seen in Tiger King, Larry Rhodes.

All right, back in just a sec.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Okay, so your car, you know, the only connection that you have with the outside world.

Yes, that roving quarantine unit of yours allows you to see the world and yet remain safe.

You have to stay home with the kids all of the time.

This is why you need CarShield.

Welcome to Friday.

We're glad you're here.

Charlie Kirk is joining us.

Charlie, I have to tell you, you never know

who people really are until they're faced with a crisis.

And

I have to tell you, I was thrilled to read

your op-ed

on FoxNews.com, if I may.

Let's be clear, the amount of disappointment and frustration I have for what Congress has done with this $2.2 trillion in legislation is almost too much to express.

After all, I popularized the phrase big government sucks.

I'm now forced to acknowledge I live in a world where my fellow citizens believe big government solves.

I'm not sure.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't have done something given the magnitude of this crisis, but right now, I'm not sure how we return conservatives to our first principles of balanced budgets and limited government.

Charlie Kirk, he is the founder and president of Turning Point USA, host of the Charlie Kirk Show.

Welcome to the program.

Thank you, Glenn.

It's an honor.

And

it seems that we've kind of gone away from some of the principles of fiscal restraint and

constitutional governance that you talked about back when I first started listening to you many years ago.

That's well put.

So

we are sitting here, Charlie.

Everything that I talked about and said we need to prepare for,

we are now in.

And we have a bunch of people your age that think government solves, think that the government is the right tool to use.

Also

have grown up with, you know, maybe, maybe your first memory being September 11th, then you're in college or leaving college when

the 2008

crash happens.

Now this, which is much, much worse.

I mean, you have people that will just think that this system just is broken and it doesn't work.

And I think we're on the verge of a true transformation of America if we don't stand guard right now.

I completely agree that the threat of the statists is only growing throughout this.

And

what disappointed me most about how Congress approached this that piece of legislation is, first of all, how quick it was, Glenn.

There was very little deliberation over the magnitude of the spending

yep and and then they leave town so they even admitted they could have done things better so why didn't they stick around for another week and maybe fix the awful

late night kind of sneak attacks that Schumer put in on the unemployment provisions where Glenn, people will literally be making more money not working on the unemployment rolls than working.

Why would NPR and CBS get any extra cash?

The Kennedy Center, why would they get $25 million, $350 million for migrant resettlement?

And you've listed it plenty of times.

But what scares me even more, though,

is

the fiscal recklessness of it, that Congress just voted 96 to nothing to say, sure,

I guess it's a huge crisis, therefore we have to

basically leverage future liberties and freedoms.

And again, I'm not suggesting nothing was the solution.

And there are some very reasonable things in this bill, like the payroll protection program, which was actually less than 15% of the entire expenditure, mind you.

Crazy, crazy.

Crazy, crazy, crazy.

Those are the most pro-free market, pro.

I could make an argument under Article 5, the payroll protection program actually is constitutional and necessary because the government told you to shut down and they say, okay,

I will pay you.

So that I get.

But the unemployment provision, the

what on earth, the UBI?

I mean,

the reverse redistributionism.

And I held it.

I say this as a Trump supporter, and I remain a fervent Trump supporter.

And I understand politically, he had no choice but to sign this bill.

And I know he was frustrated with a lot within it, but my critique is on Congress with this because we control the upper chamber and we have some really good allies that have been fighting for these ideas for a while in Congress and I was disappointed Glenn that we did not get our viewpoint of constitutional governance liberty private property I felt that it was

it would just happen so quick and with very little pushback and deliberation at all.

I think Thomas Massey is going to be vindicated at the end in this.

You know, Nancy Pelosi is saying that we don't want to bring people into Washington because it's so dangerous and we can't do electronic votes

over the phone or online.

Of course you can.

They don't want to have any of these things done online because

you don't know if anybody is listening on the other line.

So there's no strong-arming people in the hallway.

There's no deal-making in the hallway or in the back rooms.

And they're just pushing these things through.

And I think this is extraordinarily dangerous.

Extraordinarily dangerous.

Oh,

I couldn't agree more.

And hey, Glenn, if people don't need to be in Congress to pass the $6 trillion bill, why do people need to show up at a voting booth in November, right?

Right.

It makes the next argument for mail-in voting, which is what they're arguing for now.

And so look,

that that bill is passed.

It's unfortunately that happened so quick.

I don't want we as a conservative movement to just forget our

focus on balanced budgets, on the threat of inflation, on the danger of eroding our freedoms and liberties.

Go ahead, sorry.

Go ahead.

I was going to say, how have you talked to the President?

Because

he came out with a new spending package of another $2 trillion.

So I have not.

And look, again, I say this as a very fervent Trump supporter, as someone who's wrote a best-selling book in defense of his presidency.

And again, I put a lot of the burden of responsibility on Congress here for their inability to deliberate in the best interest of what they specifically ran on.

Look, the president is up against an impossible position here, and in a lot of different ways.

This was a sneak attack.

It is an invisible enemy.

And unfortunately, the way that we still haven't been able to get, I think, widely accepted data on exactly how much the population has been

infected and or the mortality rates, it's very difficult to make decisions on that.

With that being said, I know the president, as a businessman, wants to get America back to work.

And as far as

the idea of another bill coming forward, what I wrote in that piece was: hey, if we are going to do another infrastructure bill, another bill, a Phase IV bill,

then why would we not challenge one of the most corrupt and one of the most corrosive institutions in America, which is the cartel of the colleges?

And that was

part of the bill, which is.

Go ahead.

I've only got three minutes.

Can you just go over what you're suggesting?

Yes.

Thank you, Glenn.

So I call for a pro-free market, conservative student stimulus, which it's not about student loan forgiveness.

It's not about any of the Green New Deal stuff.

But

I make the argument, because I represent a student organization at Turning Point USA on 2,000 high school and college campuses.

They're asking me, Charlie, why do transnational corporations get bailed out?

Why are we giving checks to everyone?

College students students are excluded, by the way.

175 million Americans, but college students, even if they're working, are not going to get, most likely, unless they're listed, they've totally filed their taxes, they're not going to get any of those checks.

They say,

what is it for us?

Here's what I suggest really quickly.

Number one, if any college has not yet fully refunded the room and board and fees from this semester, and they receive federal government money, they should be required to do so within 30 days.

It's so simple.

It's so logical.

Why would universities take the money and not refund it?

It's so, so easy.

Number two, if you receive federal government money, which almost every institution in the country does, absent Hillsdale and a few others, tuition frees for two years.

Tuition is breaking the backs of middle American families.

And look, Glenn, I'm not one to try to go and tell private institutions how to run their business.

These are not private institutions.

These are federal government-funded, federal government-controlled, quasi-socialist institutions that are breaking the backs of future generations financially and middle America.

And the third thing is a student, a graduate student tax cut.

Basically, if you have graduated college and you have student loans, right now the deductibility of student loans is minuscule at best.

It's $2,500 only on interest.

I make the argument that you've got to lift the limit on that.

You've got to lift the cap.

It would be a tax cut.

for recent graduates

if they've gotten no relief from Washington, D.C.

at all.

So I'm just trying to contribute to the conversation.

We have a 30, 35 million person population in America, which is college graduates and current college students, recent college graduates and current college students, that feel that no one in D.C.

has been fighting for them.

They see the massive spending bills.

They see a lot of preferential treatment for huge companies.

So I, as someone who represents the largest conservative organization, said, hey, here are three conservative ideas that we can get out there that will hopefully impact future generations for the better.

The only thing I have a question on, Charlie, is I don't want our federal government paying for tuition for two years.

That money comes from the universities and

their own coffers, right?

Right.

No, so the tuition freeze would be mandated.

We would essentially say if you're receiving FAFSA money or Department of Education

funding at all, you are not allowed to raise tuition beyond the 2020 level.

And any overages or anything, you guys have to go into your endowment and you guys have to go pay for yourself.

Basically, it would say if you're going to be using taxpayer money, you cannot continue to raise rates on the students, aka your customers.

I have to tell you, I think they should be forced to bring them down.

I mean,

it is only the money from the federal government that has allowed them just to spend out of control and charge eye bleed numbers.

I mean,

it's remarkable when you look at the rate of inflation on this and healthcare, and it's because the government is involved.

If the government wasn't involved, we would not be having this issue.

Charlie, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks, Juan.

All right, real estate agents I trust.

We've taken a pretty good beaten as a country this past few weeks, and I'm sure like millions of other Americans, you're feeling the effects of it.

And if you're one of those people who's trying to sell your house or buy one or both, I bet it seems a little scary right now.

Here's the deal.

As Americans, this is kind of our thing.

You know, this is what we do.

We always surprise the rest of the world.

We dust ourselves off and we get back up to work.

We are the people that figured out how to bring people back from the moon in Apollo 13.

Go back and watch that because that's what we are right now.

We are a team that has to look, okay, what tools do we have?

We're going to put this thing back together and it'll be better than it was.

All right, so what do you do?

Well, I started a company a few years ago as a free service to you because I have dealt with the hassles that attend, you know, the buying and selling of homes.

And we, I learned that there is secrets, you know, as I was doing business on some other projects with the 500 best real estate agents

in America.

And as I got to know them, I realized, wow, they all have certain things in common.

So we started looking for those things and find what we believe are the best agents in your area.

Then we make them available to you.

All you have to do is go to realestate agentsitrust.com, say you're buying or you're selling a home or you're both, and where you're buying or where you're selling, and we'll send you the people that we feel are the best agents in your area.

You do the interview and take it from yourself.

Free service to you.

Earlier today, I read an email from a guy named Mark.

He says, my family and I are small business owners in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Just came under a statewide shutdown.

Still work for a full-time job that considers me critical and essential employees, so I'm out in the mix, as to say.

My wife, special needs daughter, and another daughter have compromised immune systems.

I work more hours than you can imagine, and we're possibly looking at losing everything we've worked so hard for for so long.

I keep my chin up, and I try to keep positive spin going for them, but inside I'm lost, not knowing where to go from here.

The government's so disconnected from our reality.

Our president, not perfect, but I feel he has more heart for the country than what he can express is trying to right the wrongs.

But no matter what,

you know the rest.

I support what's right for the people and what keeps us safe, but I'm just running on empty anymore.

And my love for my family, my country, my God is what keeps me alive most days, but it's getting harder and harder for chin up.

The next chapter is hard to see.

Well, Rebecca is on the phone now.

She heard that earlier today.

Hi, Rebecca.

How are you?

Hi, Glenn.

Thanks for taking my call.

I'm great.

My husband and I listen to your show every morning, and I was so touched by this young man.

I at one point was a single mom with the same feelings exactly of loving my country and family and just, you know, had a handout every once in a while and I would love to do something for this young family if there's a way that I can get in touch with them and you know I just think that there's a lot of us out there who who can be of service at one time or another and and I just felt compelled to give you a call and find out how I could help

So I don't know, and I can't give you his email address, but I can reach out to him myself and give him your email address.

And

I'm not sure if he's willing to share it, but I hope

because

it's the little things in life.

It's the knowing that you're not alone

is what's really important.

It's what's really important.

Well, and I don't have a lot of people.

Thank you so much for that.

I don't have a lot.

Go ahead.

I don't have a lot, but I know as a single mom, I did reach out to people even when I was struggling myself.

And I'd love to just be a voice of encouragement or help how I can.

So I would love to have

information to contact.

Thank you.

Rebecca, hang on the phone.

We'll get your information.

We'll pass it on.

And this is what America is really all about.

America is

always,

when we're at our best, always looking at what we have, not what we lost, and how we can help others.

We'll see you tonight.
