Time to Rethink COVID | Guests: Bill O’Reilly & John R. Lott, Jr. | 3/27/20

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

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

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

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

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

And what a Friday it is.

Because, man, the weekend gets here and we can just

do all the same stuff we've been doing all week.

Is it just me?

No, I'm not.

No, no, no.

I'm...

Uh-uh.

No.

Catch an AA meeting?

Nah.

I wish.

Can't.

But other than that, I'm totally fine.

How about you guys?

You know, seriously, I I don't mind the internet, the internet slowing down.

I don't, no, no, no, no, no.

No, I don't need the internet or anything else.

I'm totally good.

I could do this for another two or three months.

You know, because it's just.

Oh my gosh, get me out of here.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

Let me talk to you a little bit about beauty in the eye of the beholder.

It's a fair point, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who wouldn't agree that the X-Cher is a thing of beauty.

It is.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Good morning.

Top of the morning to you.

As Barack Obama is so

famously said,

it was great.

Anyway, sleek, stylish, has a futuristic look to it, draws the eye, but better yet, when you're sitting your big fat butt in it after you gain the

Corona 15

gain of 15 pounds.

No, not from beer.

Nope, nope, nope.

We could hope.

Nope, just from sitting around eating ourselves to death.

Anyway, you're sitting down in this chair and it has a patented dynamic variable lumbar or DVL support system.

And once you feel it, you're never going to go back.

I'd like you to feel the difference yourself.

You will understand why I think this is the best chair that is made and the best chair I've ever owned.

Sitting in a studio in a chair, I've done it my whole life.

Yeah, you don't get a body like this one standing up working.

Nope.

XChairbeck.com, XChairbeck.com, best chair I've ever had.

Try it out for yourself now.

Money back guarantee, xchairbeck.com, 8444x chair, 8444x chair.

A lot of people in this country would be delighted to pay more in taxes.

Finding yourself speechless, listening to progressive arguments?

Arm yourself with the facts.

Arguing with Socialists, a new book from Glenn Beck.

Pre-order now on Amazon.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, all the things we can do this weekend.

Play more games.

Watch more videos.

Hey, we can finally get to that closet, Tom, that we've all been

and organize stuff.

If we really want to be crazy, we can all get in the car and just drive around and look at all the things that are closed.

That's always.

But then we can all come home tonight, all 350 million of us, and try to watch Netflix and then watch how

slow the internet can get.

Love that.

I've missed buffering.

How about you?

There's nothing better than a good old Friday night watching your internet buffer.

But other than that, things are good.

Oh, I think Thomas Massey might end his career today.

What are you doing, Thomas?

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

Don't make everybody fly in.

Vervos voice vote.

Don't do it.

Maybe that's just me.

Daniel Horowitz is here now.

He is the

senior editor of the Conservative Review,

Blaze podcast

host.

Oh, he's not on.

He might be buffering.

Ah, that's happening to everybody these days.

I'm so surprised.

So you're, to be clear, you think just letting this $2 trillion go through on unanimous consent is a good idea?

No, I don't.

I just, I, why die on the battlefield by yourself?

You know, live to fight another day.

Because I just think there's, it's, it's only going to piss everybody off.

And you're doing, you know, you're making a stand, and I know principles and everything else, but you know, when you are one of the very few,

you know,

if you're

you're uh

you're one of the few that is standing up, you know, that's that's great, but I'd rather have you stand up when you have a chance of winning, right?

So, the idea being that no matter what, they're going to fly these people back in, they're going to pass for it, yes, anyway.

Yep, they're going to vote for it anyway.

He wants to be on record voting no, probably, right?

And if it does come up for a vote, there will be a lot of no votes, I'm sure, just because of

jammed into it.

Then it'll be great to read in history books that this guy named Thomas Massey stood up against this.

And I'd prefer that that wasn't the last thing that we read about Thomas Massey in history books.

I don't know.

Let's ask Daniel Horowitz about it.

Daniel, how are you?

We're doing all right.

What a patriot from Kentucky.

Yeah, okay.

So we're just

wondering.

I like Thomas, and I agree with him.

I think this

vote where they're just doing unanimous consent is sick.

However, I prefer to keep Thomas Massey in Congress, and I have a feeling that this will just be the end of his career.

Look, Glenn, I've personally advised members not to do that.

So as much as I think he is a patriot, I get it because, see, this is the problem we have.

A lot of our base is often looking for one big hero.

But the truth is, to quote Hillary Clinton, albeit in a more appropriate context, it takes the village.

You really need a movement, and you need a bunch of people.

And once the fix is in,

they've already told people you're getting all these checks, you're getting all this stuff.

It's impossible for one person to put his finger in that dike.

And that's really the problem here: that we need to get ahead of the curve a couple days before this stuff percolates and demand better action.

But unfortunately, we're always behind the eight ball on that.

So I guess the best we can do at this point is try to strategize better for the fourth tranche of this corona rescue season.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I mean, I really respect him, and I think he's right, but not smart, not smart.

Don't stand on it because Donald Trump is going to decimate him

and it may already be too late but he's going to decimate him in his reelection and and I

I hate to see that happen to him

because we need guys like him in Congress anyway all right so Daniel you're saying that as you're looking through all of the things that are happening right now you're saying that the state legislatures need to come together to control our governors.

What are you seeing that is is concerning you?

As we enter next week, this is where the fault line is.

So the president and his team, the healthcare experts, are basically saying the models were wrong, which we knew.

This is very serious.

It's like a serious form of pneumonia in some people that absolutely does kill people and there will be a death toll.

But that was baked into the cake months ago when we didn't shut off travel early enough and Democrats were upset Trump shut off travel when he did.

So what do we do now?

And what they are saying, which is what Democrat Governor Cuomo is saying, is that you have to have a more targeted quarantine, properly taking into account demographics, geography, weighed against the need to get as many people working as possible, not in large groups, but at their offices, so we can get the economy moving again.

Everyone should agree with that goal.

Yet one after another, all the governors are pushing back against that and are adamantly saying, no, we are not going to do this.

We're not doing this.

And each one is trying to one-up the next to announce more draconian restrictions without showing their homework, the evidence, often without putting a time limit on it.

And at some point, we need to ask, wait a minute, does every dinky mayor, county executive, and governor have indiscriminate authority to promulgate anything he believes believes he can do, even when it violates the most foundational First Amendment rights.

There is a strong quarantine power, but that's usually against those that have the virus or were exposed to this, and it's got to have some limitation.

So my concern is that as the president tries to achieve that balance, remember, almost none of the restrictions are at a federal level.

They're all being

enacted at a state or even local level.

So nothing will change if the president tries to ease some of the restrictions because it's all the states doing it.

And that's why I believe it's time to return to self-governance, that the state legislatures need to convene and start rigorously debating the powers of the governors and some of the localities,

the local governments, because we cannot just say, sit down, shut up, and don't say anything.

This is the plague and everything goes.

There's got to be some oversight.

Okay, so Daniel,

I agree with you and I think that this, we're now finding out that this is way overblown

and

all of these measures may have been for not.

We may have destroyed our economy for very little reason.

However,

when you look at the,

for instance, Florida, when they said, okay,

please self-isolate, you know, keep your distance.

The beaches were packed.

I can't tell you how many people

that you talk to and you read and you see what they're doing, and your friends will be, your family will be like, Yeah, we're going out with some friends tonight.

You're like, Where?

What are you doing?

I mean, some of us are taking it seriously because, you know, they just pumped six trillion dollars into the system.

The Fed just broke

all of its records, just printing up money and handing it out like candy.

The federal government did the same thing.

We're putting ourselves onto the edge of a depression, and people are still not self-regulating.

They're still saying, well, I can go out.

I'm not going to get it.

Can we get through this?

Can everybody just stay home for a couple of weeks so we can get through this?

So what are you doing?

Glenn, I'm not seeing that evidence.

I mean, those pictures at the beach were really from the beginning of the first week.

We're at the end of the second week.

My understanding is that has died down.

It obviously took a few days for it to register to go from 100 to zero is tough.

But everywhere I see in my community, I mean, it's a ghost town, and I think that is definitely the majority of places.

What I really think is going on here is two things.

Number one, the governors and the local officials, they're enjoying this.

I mean, you're not seeing them say, look, it's with a heavy heart.

I have to infringe upon the First Amendment, but I think it's necessary.

No, I mean, they are reveling in it.

And I think that's what is concerning.

And it's also, if you

parlay that against their policies, letting out criminals.

What?

So there's a science behind that, too.

You let out the criminals, but they say we have a serious warning against anyone.

You know, the L.A.

mayor is talking about shutting off the water and power to businesses.

There's something not right about that.

So I think at this juncture, two weeks into it, where the modeling, it turns out that served as the impetus for this was proven wrong.

Neil Ferguson in the UK basically recanted it without admitting it.

So I think now is the time not to go back to normal, but I think to try to achieve the proper balance.

But Glenn, if we don't do this, I mean, every day they're conjuring up more restrictions and more snitching and monitoring surveillance.

And at some point, this just cannot be a free-for-all.

This is very, very, very dangerous.

I would agree with you.

I'm really disturbed to see the disagreements.

Yesterday, people should have gone, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

The guy's research that the entire world shut down on.

He now says, oh,

I was wrong about the number of dead, but only by about half a million oh okay

well that's why we shut it down if you would have said 20,000 people dead in the UK as opposed to 500,000 dead in the UK we wouldn't shoot we wouldn't have done it like this and yesterday when he comes out and I didn't see that sigh of relief from the media you know I watched Donald Trump's

his press conference yesterday and every single person that stood up at the podium said, What's happening right now with our media and the way they're portraying things, you know, that hospitals, you can't get any service, they're talking about death panels now, and they're talking about, you know, who's going to live and die, et cetera, et cetera.

And all of the doctors standing up said, that is entirely irresponsible to even be talking about those things publicly at this point because it's not, we're not at that point and we don't think we're going to get to that point.

But,

you know, they just keep going that way.

So I get it.

So

what are you suggesting?

Calling our legislatures and saying get together and get the reins around this?

Absolutely.

Look, we all agreed two weeks ago, look, we don't know what's going on.

This is very scary.

We got to save lives.

Let's shut it down.

Fine.

But what happened was every day,

as the evidence became clear that this was overblown to an extent, they kept tightening things and tightening things.

And they're still moving in that direction.

So there needs to be a reset and a rethinking.

And you know who said the word rethinking yesterday?

Governor Cuomo, who is the governor of the hardest hit state.

He said we are locking up young people with older people.

That's not the best quarantine strategy.

We shouldn't have shut down all the workplaces.

It's almost a quote.

I was trying to bring it up here, but it's a Fox News article that has all the quotes there.

And I think, you know, as Deborah Burke said, the key point of that study, the Imperial College study recanting, is this.

It's that...

It's not that this is starting now and we got to stuff it in the bud.

We've got to make sure this doesn't grow.

It's evident this has been around since December and millions of people have had it already.

So that requires a very different strategy that cuts to the core of why we started this.

So again, you know,

it takes a village.

We need state legislatures.

We cannot have governors having more power than the president has.

All right.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Daniel Horowitz, Blaze podcast host and editor of the Conservative Review.

Thank you so much.

Appreciate it, Daniel.

All right.

Our sponsor this half hour is Goldline.

You know the old phrase, you take that to the bank.

Kind of been in reverse lately, isn't it?

I mean,

Goldman Sachs just came out and suggested it might be time for people to take it out of the bank and consider investing in gold.

This happened this week, Goldman Sachs.

They say it's a safe haven against the very sort of thing that we're facing with the coronavirus and all of the economic panic surrounding it.

They're saying that, you know, the dollar is

kind of under stress, maybe.

I don't ever try to pressure you about things like this, but I do.

There are times in my life where I feel

to urge you strongly to at least

consider leaning in one direction and

gathering the information that you need.

You're smart enough to figure this out on your own.

Are you in a position where this is helpful to you?

I can't imagine you're not,

but I want you to do your own homework.

I want you to call goldline right now 866 goldline 866 goldline or goldline.com and talk to them

just

something

something hedge your bet spread your money out call goldline now 866 goldline 1866 goldline or goldline.com

let's go for a 10-second station ID

So, Stew.

Yes, Glenn.

You seem happy today.

Seems like things are going well.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm really, no, seriously.

No, it doesn't seem like it's going well.

Oh, yeah.

It should be a little bit more normal for you, considering you've done a lot of homeschooling in your life with your kids, right?

So this isn't all schools.

Yeah,

it's not even the kids.

It's really not.

It's not even the kids.

It's just

home

all the time, you know?

And all of my projects, all the things I'm working on just full stop is like driving me crazy, you know?

Yes.

Just a little bit.

Just a little bit.

Yes.

You can relate to that?

Yeah, I think everybody can relate to this.

Because you have this idea that you're going to sit home and watch Netflix.

I haven't watched any Netflix.

I have not watched anything at all.

I haven't done anything like that.

I am excited because Ozark is out this weekend, and everybody on Earth seems to be talking about Tiger King, which I'm like dying to watch now.

Have you heard about this?

Everyone is talking about that.

Yeah.

Everyone.

I heard it's amazing.

I'm still watching this thing with my wife.

What is it?

The Overlander or the Outlander or whatever it is.

The Scottish movie or series.

And it's great.

It's really good.

It's actually really, really, really good.

But there's only so much, you know, oh, Mr.

Darcy, that one can take.

There's only so much that one can take.

To me, the amount was what you just did.

That's the amount I can take.

Yeah, right, okay.

Yeah, unfortunately, five seasons, five seasons of that.

Yeah.

There is this thing, I think, that is new in our society where you commit to a series like that and you get halfway through and you realize I probably should just bail on this, but I'm now too invested.

It's like you're chasing that sort of lost money type of thing.

Yeah,

no, it's not that.

I really like this.

I mean, it's got enough action in it

to where it's good and it's got enough history into it.

And

I really like it, but it's just, there's only so much,

you know,

just chick stuff in it that it's just, I can't, I can't, can I, can we watch a new James Bond?

Is there a new James Bond?

Is there a new Mission Impossible?

Is there a new anything, any kind of action?

Is the Glenbeck program ground, brown, brown, brown?

You can get it at amazon.com or Glenn Beck.com.

Yeah,

this is the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Welcome to Friday.

Pat's joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed.

Pat, we're just having this conversation back and forth about how

we're not sure.

I have this feeling that this is going to be like

the scientists that were telling us all about global warming.

Because we're kind of like, could be, don't know.

Yet they panic and say, we're all going to die.

I still think we're two weeks away from seeing how bad this thing can get.

But because we're all staying in, or most of us are staying in, we are,

you know, we are really slowing the growth down.

So we'll never know how bad it could have been.

Do you think that we have overreacted at all?

At all?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I think there's been some overreaction.

And what I hate are the dire predictions.

The 2.2 million dead Americans and all that.

How does that help in any way at all?

It doesn't.

It causes people to panic.

It hurts the market.

And people just lose all sense of

reality.

Unless it's true.

Unless it's true.

But even if it is true, even if that's going to happen, why would you tell people that's going to happen?

How does that help us?

It doesn't.

I guess it just to get people to take it seriously, right?

Well, I think we're pretty well there already.

We've already given up half of three-quarters of our liberty.

Right, right.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Is it only me that has friends that are still texting?

They're still out going, yeah, I'm having a friend.

Is no one else having a problem with their friends where you're saying, hey, dude, you guys should take this seriously?

I mean, we're all kind of staying at home.

Yeah, it's all overblown.

Am I the only one that has friends who are still going out doing things and, you know, going over to friends' houses?

And I'm the only one?

Maybe because I don't know anybody like that.

And there's nowhere to go if you were to go.

Where are you going to go?

They're going to friends' houses and they're doing stuff as friends.

Like yesterday.

Like yesterday.

Yesterday.

I went out.

My wife and I were like, okay, I got to go take a drive.

And I've been working on the remodel of our studio complex.

And I'm way behind now because of all this stuff.

And we have to do landscaping.

And I said, honey, let's just go to that tree farm.

And she said, is it open?

And I said, I hope not, but we'll just go and we'll walk through it.

Cause, you know, it's, you can still walk through it even when it's closed.

Well, I get there and I turn into the parking lot and it is packed.

And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa,

let's not park here.

And so we went around the corner and we just walked through the trees where there was nobody, but that place was packed.

People were in close to each other doing stuff, talking to people, buying stuff.

I was like, what is happening?

I don't see that.

I mean, even at the grocery store, everybody's kind of distanced themselves from each other.

And I think just because they have their own common sense, they don't have to be told where to stand like some Krogers have done, where they show you where to stand in the checkout line.

Yeah, I think I can noodle that out for myself.

I'm not going to get, you know,

do a little ponyback ride on the next guy in front of me.

I'm not going to do that.

So

it's just,

if we just exercised our common sense, we wouldn't have to be told exactly what we should be doing and what we shouldn't be doing.

I mean, even in Britain, the prime minister, Boris Johnson, just tested positive for this.

What has he been doing?

You've been out partying?

He might have been making out with Prince Charles because they both have it.

So maybe that's a thing.

We now know.

We now know.

The prince is like, Boris, I confused you with Camilla.

You look so much alike.

Did you see, have you seen any of their press conferences over there?

Because even their podiums, unlike ours, where the president's like, you know, got his arm around people, like, hey, we're all in this together.

And given a press conference where they're all right there

in Great Britain, they had the podiums six, seven feet apart.

It was bizarre.

six or seven feet apart, way across the room from each other, and then this enormous television where the press could ask questions.

And they were all in separate rooms, too.

I mean,

it's not like ours

at all.

Well, according to the press, we've taken no precautions whatsoever.

I mean,

I don't know what they want us to do.

I don't know what they want Trump to mandate, but they're still saying he's rudderless, leaderless, he's done nothing, he's handled this poorly.

I don't get that sense.

I mean, even though, yes, they do the close contact press conference, but they all know each other doesn't have it because they've all been tested.

But I don't know what else you can do in this

country.

I don't know.

I go back and forth on this, but I think so far, I think what Trump has done has been the right thing, right?

Like, I think,

you know, he, look, it's unlike global warming, because you brought up global warming before, and I think this is a good comparison.

Global warming is something where they're saying we have to act right now because

the effects will be horrible and irreversible in 10 years.

And then you go five years in and they say, it's going to be in 10 years.

That's when it's going to be horrible or irreversible.

And they kind of give you this constant moving deadline about what, you know, in the future.

And of course, you know, human nature, it is long into the future.

Here we have a situation where I think there's a lot of reason to believe that perhaps some of these estimates are too aggressive, right?

However, when the...

The information is going to be available to you as to how bad it is in two weeks.

And if the worst case is really bad, if the experts believe this, maybe this is the right step.

He said 15 days, right?

And yes, this is really hurting people right now.

Obviously, they're going to do this package and hopefully solve some of those wounds.

But the bottom line at the end of this is we should know in real, in a really close amount of time whether we need to continue this or how aggressively we need to continue it.

So, I don't know.

Everyone's beating up on him because either he went too hard

on these 15 days or that he's trying to get everybody out into the workforce by Easter and that's crazy.

But like

the best thing to do is get the information that is coming in and making the decisions based on that, right?

And it seems that what Fauci is saying and Burks is saying,

he's reacting to the information on the ground where it looks like maybe it's, you know, like Washington's a great example.

It looked like the first big breakout.

Then it does not seem like it's been as bad as they would have expected it.

So

that's real information that they're able to take in and say, okay, what went right there and what's going wrong in New York?

Right.

So here's here's the thing.

We just don't know

what's true and what's not.

But when I watched the president yesterday, and I've watched him, I watch him every day at 5 o'clock.

It's it's like it's kind of like I think how people felt about my show maybe at 5 o'clock.

It's like appointment television.

I watch it every day.

You know, my wife is like, hey, the president's on.

We're not watching any show like this.

And so we were watching it yesterday, and every single one of them were like, calm down, people, calm down.

And they weren't talking to the American people.

They were just talking to the press.

You can't win with the press.

You've either done too much or you've done too little.

And they can't make up their mind which it's supposed to be.

So they use race officially.

They use both all all the time.

They do.

Yeah.

In the same report, sometimes, which is bizarre.

And I, you know, this is the United States of America.

If you think he's done too little, I don't know what you expect him to have done at this point.

Yeah.

No, I don't either.

Short of soldering people into their homes like China did.

Is that what you want to do?

They keep saying that, you know, he's going to open up the, are you really going to open up the country?

No, you dummy.

Listen to what he's saying.

He's saying, for instance, let's go county by county.

Let's look at the counties where it's high risk.

Let's look at the population.

Basically, he's saying the same thing that Cuomo is now saying.

We shouldn't have done it like we've done it.

We did it because that's all we knew what to do at the time.

And now,

let's re-ook at things.

Let's re-examine this and see what the hell we're doing here.

And

they don't accept that they just think that he is

he's just gonna say it's Easter everyone get your butt in church I don't care how sick you are

crazy

they described it I think Fauci just described it as his aspirational goal right which is but he's considering the information as it comes in and if it's if that goal doesn't make sense then you it's like my goal my aspirational goal is to buy a Bugatti that doesn't mean I'm going to the dealership today like you've got to go see what the situation is.

At some point, maybe I'll be able to afford one, but not right now.

That's right.

Like, my aspirational goal is to lose another 25 pounds.

That's not stopping me from getting a bowl of ice cream in this next break.

It doesn't mean I'm going to do that.

Anyway, all right, guys, thank you so much.

Back in just a minute.

First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

My dog is, I mean, he's got a different, he's got a different attitude, a different life.

He's happier than I've ever seen him.

One of the reasons is his wife died.

And she was

the real meaning of the word female dog.

She was, whoo.

Anyway, so she died.

And all of a sudden, I saw his tail wag for the first time.

And he was like, oh my gosh, I'm not doomed.

I'm not doomed for the rest of my life.

And he had a new lease on life.

Then we started feeding him differently.

We're still feeding him the same dog food.

At least we were when we started doing rough greens and he loved it He would eat for the first time ever He would eat then we started making our own dog food, but I want to talk to you about the food itself The food itself is not as important as what's in the food and nothing that you're buying from the store has anything live in it.

It can't it would rot it would be bad.

So rough greens r-u-f-f-greens.com slash beck if you go there and you order this, you get the vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and even omega oils and antioxidants.

This comes in a sealed bag.

It can only last, I think, 30 days before it dies.

So you come and you get it for 30 days, you put a scoop of it in, and it's the live stuff that all of our bodies need, including our dogs.

Rough greens, take the 14-day jumpstart challenge today, $14.95.

See the difference in your dog in 14 days or less.

Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833 glenn33 833 glenn33 it's roughruffgreens.com slash beck

you're listening to glenn back

All right, just uh

Thomas Massey is going to get his head handed to him, and I'm bummed out.

I'm hoping that he does not call for a voice vote

because he's just, it's not going to, it's not going to change the way they're going to vote, and it will delay things, and we should not delay.

And

he'll just get his head handed to him.

Please, Thomas, trying to...

Trying to get in touch with him during the show and say, don't do it.

Don't do it.

uh but we'll see that vote is going to be happening here uh or is it is it already happened i'm i'm in central time now i'm thinking it's uh nine o'clock eastern but it's almost uh nine o'clock uh it's almost ten o'clock now eastern time

uh

stu you just check on that for me sure

don't do it don't do it i'm i'm i want to talk as uh confident in you in this particular argument i mean it's like look you know it's clearly unconstitutional, right, to vote without a quorum.

I know.

It's not a, it's not, he's not, I know.

It's blatantly, he's blatantly right on the issue, right?

We all know that.

I mean, it's 100% we should not be spending $2 trillion spending bills this way.

It seems to me to make a lot of sense to try to figure out a way to let representatives vote remotely.

I know that there's questions about that in the constitutionality as well, but it seems like that should be investigated.

But like, you know what, I don't know.

I mean, someone's got to stand.

It's right in the Constitution.

You can't have votes without a quorum.

I mean,

it's right in the Constitution.

Look, here's the thing.

Here's the thing.

He'll just be destroyed, and then we'll lose him in Congress.

Probably.

And I know.

Look, I'm the principal guy.

I know the principle of this is wrong, but there are so few people in Congress that are standing for the right things.

He is strong.

He's really smart.

He's on top of all of the technology stuff.

He's right on so many issues.

I just hate to see him go.

He's facing a re-election.

The Republicans will work against him because of this vote.

I mean,

it's just not a good thing.

I hate to lose him.

I'd rather have him there fighting against the next bill than lose him on this one.

But

Trump is now tweeting about him, by the way,

saying

looks like a third-rate grandstander named Thomas Massey, a congressman, unfortunately from a truly great state, Kentucky.

There's a lot of commas in here.

I'm sorry, I'm having issues.

Wants to vote against our new Save Our Workers bill in Congress.

He just wants the publicity.

This is not going to be good publicity for Thomas Massey.

I don't think that's an argument.

He can't stop it, only delay, which is true, which is both dangerous and costly.

Workers and small businesses need money now in order to survive.

I would say that's true as well.

Virus wasn't their fault.

It is hell dealing with them, dealing with the Dems, had to give up some stupid things in order to get the big picture done.

90% great, win back house, but throw Massey out of the Republican Party.

Well, now he's already,

I mean, this is already.

Might as well do it now.

Might as well do it.

I guess this is probably Trump's last sort of

attempt to get him to back down and not do this.

But I mean, I don't think there's a question as to whether it would actually be constitutionally allowed.

But what Massey, like, there's just not going to be enough people voting there.

What they do, and I think we, I can't remember who we talked to, was it Massey this week who's talking about how

what they say is

they have to get a certain amount of congressmen in the room to vote.

And what they basically do is if four people are there, they'll say, ah, it looks like 218, and then they vote.

That's how this works.

It's obviously completely wrong and totally against the Constitution.

It shouldn't happen on any issue.

But we're talking about the largest spending bill in American history,

I don't know that the right thing to do is to just have this unanimous consent vote based on something that is obviously unconstitutional.

You know, I don't know.

I mean,

I totally see what you mean, and we probably will lose him over this.

But I mean, this is why he's

not in his, I think he's not.

Yeah, I know, I know.

And

he's right for the stance that he's taking.

I'm just, you know, we're

losing,

we're losing people who are willing to stand.

And we got it, Thomas.

You will stand.

Just let's not lose an ally in this because it's not going to change anyone's mind.

It's not.

Hello, America, and welcome to Friday, which means tomorrow is going to be exactly like today.

Please.

We got you.

Glenn Beck has a new book called Arguing with Socialists, and you can pre-order it now, wherever books are sold.

All right, we go to Mr.

Bill O'Reilly from billo'reilly.com.

Hi, Bill.

You drinking again, Beck?

What are you doing out there?

Come on.

Oh my gosh, Bill, I've never been so close to drinking in my life.

What's the word I'm looking for?

Stu, what's going on with the money?

I don't know.

Is he in his pajamas or what is he doing?

We can only see from the waist up, Bill, but he is at least wearing a t-shirt.

All right.

So discipline, Beck.

That's the key to get through this whole thing.

Discipline.

Is it?

I think high-speed internet that's not slowing down is the key to get through this.

I think also, I got to tell you, Bill,

I'm an alcoholic.

I've been sober now for what, 24 years, 25 years.

And I was in the grocery store the other day.

I would have broken a bottle open and and had a bottle of that wine drink it right out of its jagged neck.

Why?

Why?

Yeah.

Come on, Bill.

Really?

Seriously?

Well, not because...

I mean,

life is a series of challenges.

And this is...

Oh, shut up.

This is...

No, I'm telling you, you've got to look at it from the point of view view of improving the country and improving every single citizen in it.

So it's like a war.

No, I do that.

I do.

Okay, if you think alcoholism is logical, then

we're already a logical start.

Here's the thing.

Right.

And I know that.

I just,

you know,

I'm somebody who likes work.

I like to do things.

I was in the middle of a billion projects.

Everything's at a full stop.

And it's like, okay, I got it.

We got to do these things, yada, yada.

But I am really ready to go back to work.

I'm really ready to go.

Everybody's got that underlining anger about their lives being disrupted and good projects and good things going down the drain.

I acknowledge that.

But what I'm trying to get across to my

people on radio and on billorilly.com is

you can't control some things, and when you can't control it, you analyze it, and then you do what's best for you your family and your country and what's best now is discipline and to do what we have to do to protect ourselves and to to rebuild a country that is tottering everybody knows the United States

tottering so let's rebuild it in a sane

fair way when we get through this virus.

Now, I have some good news for

you, Beck.

Would you like good news or you want to wallow in

No, no.

First of all, let me just say this.

I know we're going to get through this.

I just,

I'm ready to start moving forward as a nation.

And I know the nation's not ready yet physically,

but I agree with President Trump.

You know, we've got to get back to work as soon as we can.

The spending that we've done just this week is insane.

And if we don't get back to work, it will cripple us.

I agree with all of that, and I think that the, in fact, I don't think I know that the strategy of the federal government now,

as we talk today, is to segment the country into hotspots like New York, where I am right now, and then other places that aren't so bad.

And then in the not-so-bad places, you roll out a normalcy before you do that in New York or California.

So, that's the strategy.

Right.

Correct.

Now, Bill,

what is it like in New York right now?

Because that's where you're on Long Island.

I know that.

But, man, watching television, it seems like escape from New York.

Well, I'm 20 miles outside of the city.

Last time I was in the city, I think it was three or four weeks ago.

The people living in New York are in a bad place

because they're on top of one another.

So it's 8.6 million living in a single city, it's like London.

But unlike London, most of the people live in these high-rise apartments where there are literally hundreds of people in your proximity.

You can't

six feet distance.

This

people.

So what's happened is most of the folks folks are staying inside.

They go out to buy groceries or maybe

take a walk or a jog.

They have streets for that and they block the streets off from traffic.

You can go outside and get some fresh air.

But it's a escape from New York scenario, the movie we're talking about with Kurt Russell and Lee Van Cleef.

But the good news is there really hasn't been any violence and there hasn't been any booting, hasn't been any social disorder.

The police are up against it because they're getting sick and they have families and they have to go out and interact.

And the health workers and the hospitals are up against it.

So it's bad here.

Whereby in the rural areas of the country, most places, it's not so bad.

But can I get to the good news?

Quebec, can I?

Yeah, get to the good news.

Get to the good news.

In China,

Starbucks, which runs 4,200 stores,

has opened up 95% of them after closing them down.

Because the virus, according to Starbucks, is contained.

If that's true, and I don't doubt the stores are opening, that's a three-month arc.

Because this started in China.

It's a three-month arc, and then the virus has dissipated.

Now, you can't believe the communist government, can't believe what they say, it's all a bunch of crap, but this is coming out of Seattle.

This is coming out of the CEO there.

And so, when I saw that, of course, none of the press actually reports the news, so you didn't hear it anywhere but billorilly.com.

I went, this is a pretty good deal.

This is good.

And the guy is Kevin Johnson.

He's on the record.

So, if that's true, there may be a three-month arc.

And that would mean in late April, it would start to dissipate in the USA.

Right.

We're about 50 days behind China.

And so

whatever is happening, if we can trust China, whatever is happening in China, we're about 50 days behind them.

So if you look, go back and look at the headlines.

I haven't posted it glennbeck.com.

If you look at the headlines 50 days ago in China, that's where we we are.

But I'm not going to quibble.

See, what I'm concerned about is

people

hurting themselves because they can't handle the pressure of the

pandemic.

Me too.

And if you,

I talked to the suicide hotline people yesterday.

Yep.

Suicide hotline is up 300%.

So I want to report accurately, but I also want to report things that are good.

And that separates me from the national media, which is blending reporting on the pandemic with their political wish list that Trump be destroyed.

So you don't get the truth there.

You're getting a spin negative to hurt Trump about the pandemic.

Right.

So, you know, that's my job.

That's your job.

I mean, I have to say that I consider the blaze an honest form of

communication.

You're different from billoreilly.com.

I'm very hard news focused on mine.

I don't go off into a lot of different areas, but that's not a criticism.

It's just what it is.

Inspect

hundreds of thousands of people are coming into my website.

It's unprecedented.

Hundreds of thousands.

Because they know what they're seeing, particularly on television in America, is a bunch of garbage because it's speculation.

How many times have you seen an anchor go to their audience and to the guest,

how many times have you heard the words, um,

what do you make of this?

When you hear those words, you know that anchor person, whatever, doesn't have a question, is not smart enough to have a question.

What do you make of this?

What are you nuts?

Your job is to bring information and get more information.

Not this bilge, word of the day, B-I-L-G-E, that we're hearing.

So anyway, I really want to bring the best available information.

I think this thing subsides by summer.

I could be wrong, but I think that's what we're going to look at.

I think so, too.

I think it is going to, I think, you know, April or May is when we're going to pull out of this.

And it's a seasonal thing, so we'll be facing it again.

Uh, but hopefully, we will be more prepared for it the next time.

When this lifts, we have to understand that this is like a seasonal flu, it's going to come back, so we need to prepare.

We need to, you know, we're going to have to keep our distance from each other for a while.

I'm going to take a quick break, Bill, and when we come back, I want to talk to you specifically about the spending bill,

the, I think, the suicide that Thomas Massey just went on, a suicide mission.

And also, I want to talk to you a little bit about what the Fed is doing and how you feel about this far as our recovery.

Right thing to do, too much, too little.

They're already talking about yet another stimulus package.

We'll get to that here in just a second.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about Goldline.

Goldman Sachs said just the other other day,

no, it's Zip Recruiter.

Sorry.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

ZipRecruiter.

ZipRecruiter is the best way to hire, and we're all going to have to hire again.

And hopefully, you haven't let people go, but if you have, our businesses are going to come back and they're going to come roaring back.

And right now, you're hearing the sound whipping through the wind, whipping through the cubicles through offices all over America.

If you are somebody who is going to be hiring people, I want you to look at ZipRecruiter because you want to be the first in and getting all of the great people who have been let go because there's a ton of people that have been let go.

When you're ready to hire new people,

10 seconds, station ID.

So, Bill, let's talk about the stimulus package.

What did you think of the stimulus package?

So, it's a three-month fix.

You know, if I were a senator, I would vote for it.

I understand that it was loaded up with a lot of garbage that doesn't have anything to do with the pandemic.

And

the bill is, I don't don't think it's overall harmful to the nation because you needed it this time, particularly because it did stabilize the stock market for a few days.

But it's a three-month fix, and now we're $25 trillion in debt.

So, you know, but you've got to get through this before you can deal with the debt.

It looks like Thomas Massey may have just committed political suicide.

He was standing up in Congress and saying this is unconstitutional to we don't don't have a quorum here and you can't just pass bills without a vote.

And

he wanted a vote and

he didn't get one and now I mean

how do you think he's going to fare?

I don't care.

It doesn't matter to me whether he fares well or not.

In the end, and I cut through all the BS, the House will pass the bill and Trump will sign it.

And then three months hence, we're going to be looking at another bailout, unless they come up with a vaccine.

That's the whole key here, is if the medical community

can come up with medicine or a vaccine to knock this thing out vis-a-vis Ebola,

I think they're going to be able to.

And that Beck will nail socialism for the next 10 years dead in this country.

Because who was the target of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren?

The big drug companies.

Well, who's going to save our butts?

The big drug companies.

Drug companies, yeah.

And, you know, if you think that the federal government can save you in the medical area, well, let's see if the federal government gets the vaccine.

They won't.

It'll come out of the private sector.

So, you know, it's interesting because Fauci has just come out and said, if we would have had nationalized medicine, we'd be really screwed.

Look at the stats.

Look at the stats in Italy and Spain.

The deaths per million.

Seven times as high as the United States.

The United States has the lowest deaths per million population of any country that's been impacted.

And it looks like Germany.

That's the hard stats.

And if you look at Germany,

whose market I think may even be more free than ours because their CDC, if you will, doesn't have dictatorial powers.

They just advise and say, look, we need testing that gives us these kinds of results, and then it has to go to the free market.

And their testing is off the charts.

I mean, they are testing everybody in Germany, and that is helping them.

And that's because of the free market that's mandated because of national socialism in the 1930s.

Well, I don't believe the German stats, number one, that they're putting out.

I don't believe it.

But I have it right in front of me.

Deaths in Germany from Corona, 3.4

per million.

All right?

In the United States, it's 4 per million.

In Italy, it's 136

per million.

That's socialized medicine.

Spain, 104.

Great Britain, double hours.

Double hours.

So

I was always a guy who believed the government should oversee

the medical industry, but not impose

government mandates like Bernie Sanders wants and all that.

And I think this is one of the...

One of the things that will come out of the COVID thing, is that socialism is dead.

The other thing is the Second Amendment will never again be challenged, at least in our lifetime.

Because people know the government can't protect you.

Can't protect you.

I mean,

right now, look at what's happening.

Look what's happening to the Second Amendment, though, right now.

I mean, you have states like California,

L.A.,

the sheriffs there shut down all gun stores.

I mean,

they are doing everything they can to shut down.

But the people are going to reflect on them.

I think Virginia, that's the one to keep your eye on in November.

I think they're going to throw out all these people.

Now, I don't know about California.

That's pretty crazy.

But Virginia, you keep your eye on that state in November.

I agree.

I agree.

All right, we're going to come back with Bill O'Reilly in just a second.

We're going to talk a little politics, a little Joe Biden, what the Democrats' strategy is, how the president is faring so far.

His press conference, it's getting too popular.

It is must-watch television, and that's why the media wants it shut down.

You might be thinking right now, literally,

anything in the housing market is a huge gamble and maybe even a mistake.

The economy has been all over the place.

People are swapping the coronavirus whether they want to or not, and everything is a mess right now.

But the good news is this too shall pass.

Maybe sooner, maybe later.

But America is going to get back on its feet again.

And that means your real estate plans might be fine.

You need to ask an expert.

This is where real estate agents I trust come in.

Even under the best circumstances, the agents I work with are at the top of their class.

And when you get into a scary market like this one, you need the agents.

I've been there, done that, seen this one before.

Imagine the market in 2008.

The market's not that way yet.

I mean, right now, houses are still selling and they are closing on them.

And with the loans now being so inexpensive, the interest rates so low, this may actually work out to your advantage.

If you're looking to buy or sell a home, make sure you contact realestate agentsitrust.com right now.

Glenbeck's Arguing Arguing with Socialists is available April 7th.

You can pre-order it now at Glembeck.com or at Amazon.com.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

It's Friday.

Bill O'Reilly from BillOreilly.com is joining us now.

Bill,

let me take you to the, I think, must-watch TV of the day.

It's at 5 o'clock, which is, you know,

somebody else was very successful at that time.

But

Donald Trump, I think, is hitting this out of the park with these

nightly,

you know, briefings at 5 o'clock every night.

And what's interesting to me is

the numbers are so huge, they have to be, because the media doesn't want to cover them anymore.

They're saying this is just a campaign rally.

We don't think we should cut away from these.

They're fantastic television, full of information, and really shows how wrong the media is.

Because you watch that and then you watch them report it's not the same thing.

Well, a NPR station in Seattle bailed, and they're not going to cover them anymore.

I understand there's a big debate in the corporations that run CNN and MSNBC about carrying them.

I think you're right that this helps Donald Trump and builds up his credibility.

You can see that in the polling.

60% feel he's doing a good job handling the virus.

And as I said, if he gets it under control by summer, I can't see him losing at all, no matter whether it's Biden or Cuomo, because Cuomo, by the way, is, you know, setting himself up as the virus candidate.

Right.

So you've got to assume that the television media that despises Trump, that makes all kinds of money hating him, may bail out.

They might do it.

And they'll obviously not be doing it for any other reason than to try to hurt the president.

Yeah, it's amazing to me because it's not just him.

You have to get past his wonderful, marvelous, it's incredible.

You've got to get past some of the superlatives he throws in all the time.

But if you listen to the information and you listen to the way he's handling this, and then you listen to the experts, he's not really taking things on.

He'll just be like, you know, Bill, why don't you answer that?

He's doing an exceptional job

in my point of view.

And

when you're watching it,

what part of that isn't essential information that you should have every single day?

What part of that is?

Well, the viewer should have the option of watching it or not.

Yes.

That's what news is.

So, this is news.

Here's the president.

He's talking about the virus.

That's news.

So you're going to censor the news?

Sure, they would.

They'd do it in a heartbeat if they felt they could get away with it.

And they may do it.

I'm not as bullish on

the president as you are.

I think we use more precise language.

We don't really hear the really great people fifty times.

Right, I agree.

I agree.

Okay.

But

in the very beginning of this, I had a conversation.

I'm not going to tell you with whom, but it was at the highest level.

And I said, this is what you got to do.

Now I'm not taking credit for it.

I'm sure his advisors tell him the same thing.

But

by

being a steady, that's the key word, influence on the nation, you can take it or leave it if you're an American.

You don't have to watch it.

You can watch American Bandstand.

Is that still on?

I don't think so, but that's what I used to watch at 5 o'clock.

So, Bill, you know, what's interesting, I was watching, because I think Mike Pence is doing a fantastic job.

But if you watch it every night, Mike Pence

is very much cut from the cloth of a politician, a regular politician.

He's been very...

Yeah, he's a bureaucrat.

He's doing a great job.

He's very, very positive, but you hear the same things from him every day.

He keeps giving the same positive message the same way every day.

Where what I think makes Donald Trump different is he's not prepared like that.

He doesn't do that stuff.

And so it's just much more of a raw kind of

thing.

Look, I'm just hanging.

i'm i'm hanging out with you let me just tell you got all these experts over here i don't know susan come here you talk about that the more he does that the more effective i think he becomes because it what i'm for the first time i'm seeing what it must be like to work for him when he's building a very complex system.

You know, when he's building some golf course, hotels, casinos, and he's in a boardroom meeting.

I'm seeing him for the first time as a guy who assembles a rock-solid team and then just shoots from the hip and respects what the people that he's assembled are saying.

You don't often see Donald Trump

in a light where he's really respecting the people.

You just think he doesn't listen to anybody, which is not true.

And you're seeing that he's listening to these people and he respects them and they respect him.

I think that's...

Burks.

He likes that doctor.

Pence always reminds me of the Brill Cream guy.

A little dabble, do you?

The hair never moves.

I love the hair.

And he looks the part, and he ran Indiana.

It's exactly what he's doing now.

Very disciplined guy.

He's not going to say anything.

It gets him in trouble.

And then Trump is the exact opposite.

He's going to come out, as you said.

He's going to ruminate.

He's going to, well, you know, maybe we'll do this.

Well, maybe we won't.

And

people are actually following and listening to what he says.

Whereas if you had Pennsylvania,

I think they understand him, though, as well.

I think the people, if they're watching, understand what he's saying.

And it's amazing the people that are paid to watch him, they don't listen to him.

Because when he's talking about, hey, April, this is clearly what he would like to do.

And he's preparing people for.

It's all in context of I'm going to try to lift the spirits of the nation.

But back, you know, and we've discussed this on your fine radio program, these correspondents that are sent out to cover Donald Trump each day are told what to do.

They're told, oh, here's the story of the day, and this is what you need to find out.

So you're absolutely right.

They're not listening to what he's saying.

They're trying to get in their question to diminish him because that's what they've been ordered to do.

So it's not like they're reporters trying to get the truth and listening to what is unfolding before them.

They've got their little list.

Get them here, get them there, question this, question that.

Do you believe, Bill, for the first time I have seen the

news people in even a worse light than I have before?

I'm seeing now in a national emergency, something that we're facing bigger than 9-11,

and we're in a national emergency, and they are

almost as if

they would rather see the country burned down to the ground than have this guy right in any way, shape, or form.

Well, certainly that is true for the New York Times, The Washington Post, AATNT, that's CNN, and Comcast, that's NBC.

That is absolutely true.

But even worse is the speculation.

This might happen.

It could happen.

We need 87,000 ventilators.

No, we need 64,000.

We need them.

Where were they?

Why don't we have enough mass?

Did the guy eat a bat in Wuhan?

I don't know, but he may have.

But no, it could have been made hello.

And yet they won't.

And yet

they won't even give the facts that the reason why we didn't have ventilators on hand is because barack obama used them in the last emergency and then failed to replace them which he was supposed to do so we were down like 150 ventilators 150 000 ventilators because he put them in use and then never replaced them after the last uh

wild virus square yeah right

but why would you give perspective to a news story why why would you do that to the why would you do that?

Yeah, the reporters don't even know that.

That's all

limited their frame of reference is.

And number two, that goes against the order du jour, the order of the day.

Get them on April.

Get them on Easter.

Get them on this.

Get them on ventilators.

Get them on arguing with Cuomo.

Get them, get them, get them, get them, get them.

And that's what it's all about.

So let me ask you this because

we got to run.

You just brought up Cuomo setting himself up as the virus candidate.

I think Joe Biden, man, he's looking worse than he's ever looked, but he's only getting 2,000 people watching him on his little podcast thing anyway.

It's really sad.

Yeah, he ought to go down and look at your podcast and then come on up and look at mine

because we have the most successful ones.

But poor Joe, that's all I can say is poor Joe.

I want him on a respirator just so he can't talk.

Right.

So is there ⁇ do you think there's a chance that Cuomo comes in and he tries to make the case and is at all successful of

hijacking the convention?

Because I think that's what they're hoping.

Yeah, but I think Biden may get the 1,911 delegates he needs because Bernie Sanders is blown up completely.

So on June 2nd, that's the big primary that's going to put him over the top.

If he gets the delegates, then Andrew's got to wait four years.

But Andrew wants it.

There's no doubt about it.

Yep.

All right.

Bill O'Reilly from BillOreilly.com.

Thank you so much, sir.

All right,

God bless you.

I have a feeling you're the type of person who didn't get completely taken off guard by this whole quarantine thing, that I'm guessing that you already have your pantry stocked with the essentials, including toilet paper, and you were not one of those who were panicking because you're listening to this show.

show.

You're not, you know, sitting in the rocking chair, whittling a piece of wood with a shotgun draped over your knees at this point.

You are somebody that

covers the bases.

You think about what's happening.

You think about how am I protecting my family.

That's why I want to talk to you about protecting your family with lifelock.

Cyber criminals and identity thieves are getting smarter all the time.

You need to really be covered.

You don't want to become a victim.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Look,

I want to talk to you about something we really could use your help on.

We know that times are really tight,

and we know that people are freaking out about what they're going to be doing next month and their jobs.

And next week, I think the job situation is going to be worse than it was this week.

I think we're going to lose more than 3 million jobs next week.

And

we're currently working on a special on the economy, all that you need to know, worst case, best case scenarios, and how to prepare for what is coming.

And we'll be ahead on this story, just like we have been on so many.

We were ahead on the Covington kids.

In the last year, think about what the Blaze has done.

Way ahead on the Hunter Biden and Burisma thing, the Elon Omar.

Crowder has been right smack in the middle of the YouTube Vox censorship scandal.

Dave Rubin is on the leading edge of First Amendment rights.

You did such a great job of getting the word out on the Ukraine that we presented.

They made it into the president's impeachment defense.

It's all because the blaze exists, and that's because of you.

And we have built this to not be advertiser-based, although we do have a lot of advertisers, and those things are going to dry up.

And also, when your voice becomes important, they attack you.

And that's why we built it with subscriptions in mind.

But we know it's tough to subscribe right now.

We're trying to make this the price of a cup of coffee, you know, a vente latte

at Starbucks.

So we're reducing the price, our biggest discount ever, for $30 off.

If you subscribe for a year, you'll get $30 off.

That is literally the cost of a Venti latte

at Starbucks a month.

It's five bucks and some change.

This is so critical that Mark Levin's voice is heard, that Steven Crowder, that Dave Rubin,

that my voice, all of the voices that you hear on the blaze, we are growing at exponential rate, but We know

times are tough for us.

We also know times are tough for you.

So we'd like to partner here.

And while this crisis goes on, we're going to offer this biggest discount ever, $30 off.

But we really need your support at blazetv.com slash Glenn.

There is something you can do in this crisis to save the country.

And I'm not saying that we're the only ones by any stretch of the imagination.

If you find no value in what we're doing, I mean, you shouldn't be listening, but if you find no value in what we're doing, that's fine.

Go find somebody that does inform you and support them.

But we are building, we are only behind Fox now.

And I think we all know Fox, where it is headed.

I mean, even the president is talking about it.

I mean, they literally have emotional support cry rooms now.

Roger Ailes would have lost his mind.

I would have lost my mind.

It's changed.

And we really could use your support.

Please go to blazetv.com/slash glenn.

We will make sure that we give you the correct information, the correct perspective,

and we don't all agree with each other.

So there's going to be things that, you know, you're going to have to think and use your own brain, but that's what this is all about, using your own brain and standing up independently and standing up for our Constitution.

Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Go there now, subscribe.

I asked that you would subscribe.

I think we bring a lot more value than five bucks a month to you and your family.

By the way, is this worth five bucks?

Today, Candice Owens speaks out about the coronavirus, and she is

I've cleaned out my garage,

cleaned out my closet, we've cleaned out the hall closet.

I mean, we've got piles of stuff for the goodwill.

I mean, I don't know if anybody else is doing this, but that's what we've been doing at the house.

I am not a gardener, but I'm looking for anything else I can do.

You can get your house into shape.

All right.

Our coronavirus update for Friday.

If you look at our coronavirus update, every stat is locked in at 5.30 in the morning Central Time from Johns Hopkins University.

Total confirmed cases worldwide, 542,000.

That is up from 486.

That's quite a jump.

Total confirmed deaths worldwide, up 24,000, only 2,000 worldwide.

Total confirmed recovered worldwide, 125, up from 117.

5% cases are considered serious, up from 4% yesterday.

7% of confirmed cases here in the United States, however, do require hospitalization.

The U.S.

has 85,000 confirmed cases, 1,304 deaths, up from 65,000 cases and 1,000 deaths yesterday, so up about 300.

United States of America now leads the world in total confirmed cases with 4,409 more cases than China.

We have officially 1,800 official recovered against the 1,300, rounding the numbers off on deaths.

So the big news yesterday was after terrifying the world governments into committing financial suicide, the UK scientist has reduced his death forecast by 95%.

Now, Stu is the guy that I trust with all of the stats and everything else.

I asked him at the time that Al Gore came out with his global warming movie.

I said, I'm going to go see his movie.

I'm going to go do my own research.

And Stu was like, oh, dear God, no.

I came out of that and I had a pretty good idea

of where I stood on it.

But I said, Stu, I want you to look at these stats, look at these facts, and tear them apart.

Show me where it's wrong.

I'm going to say, I don't know.

I believe them.

I'm not acting on them, but I want to see them proven or disproven.

And that's what Stu really does best.

You've read what he wrote.

I've read what he wrote.

Is it fair to say

he's not recanting?

He's pointing out that the lower part of his scale is accurate.

Yeah, it's been reported almost everywhere that he recanted his initial, oh, 260,000 people were going to die in Britain sort of projections.

And now he's saying 20,000.

So it would be reasonable to note that difference.

It's pretty major.

However, I think part of this is just a reporting issue.

If you read his study, what he says is he gives two different approaches.

He gives more than that, but the two that we're focusing on, the two approaches were mitigation and suppression.

Mitigation is sort of like the

approach that has been sort of the alternative approach a lot of people on the right have suggested, where

you would isolation of suspect cases, home quarantine of those who are living in the household of suspect cases, social distancing of the elderly and other risk cases, right?

So not what we're doing now, but that kind of alternative approach where the elderly and the sick would be isolated.

Anyone who might have the disease would be isolated, but other people would be able to kind of go about things a little bit more normally.

That's mitigation.

Suppression is kind of what we're doing now, which is everybody social distances.

You know, we isolate anyone who has it.

We isolate the household of people who have it.

We close schools, we close universities and everything like that.

Much closer to what we're doing and what Britain's doing.

The way I took his comments, and I think is what he's saying, is Britain has now implemented the suppression strategy.

Which was his most draconian.

Right.

And that one, his death count was 20,000.

Exactly what he put in the study.

So what he's saying is, we've now implemented the thing I thought we should implement, and now the death count is going to be a lot lower.

He's not saying, oopsie-doopsie, I said 260 last time, and now it's only 20.

They changed strategies.

Britain

but they hadn't really been in that lockdown for more than a couple of days.

Right, but what he says here.

No, it's true.

And

he's saying that the peak of this would be in two to three weeks, which is how long he said the suppression strategy would take to actually go into effect.

So it is, again, I'm not defending his analysis here.

I think he's off base, and I don't believe the worst case scenario.

So I'm not saying he's right on this.

I'm just saying I don't think he recanted it.

He's trying to walk this line, which he did outline pretty clearly in the study between these two different approaches.

I still think, I mean, we said this from the very beginning.

I think there's two major problems here.

One,

you know, I think his estimates are, you know, sky is falling type estimates, but I mean, I'm not in this field.

I'm sure he knows more about it than I do, obviously.

Secondarily, though, there's a real problem with us and the entire world seemingly basing all of our decisions on this one model.

And I think what we've

just, it's just, you know, anybody, even if, you know, like the most honest person with the most information might not be right.

You don't blame these things usually on one model.

And it seems to be this model is what scared the hell out of everybody, which is why we made these drastic changes.

But to his point, that he recanted it.

It really goes to show how we have to be so careful.

You know, we're looking at these models for global warming.

Guys, this one, we at least know right away and we can pull back and adjust.

Global warming, we could spend ourselves into oblivion and have absolutely no idea the effects.

None, because they keep moving the goalposts and keep saying, well, you know, what we did there, that worked.

And so it's not going to happen for another 25 years.

So we're going to have to keep pushing on.

I mean, you just don't know.

At least with this one, we'll know.

But it shows again how much we don't know.

These guys were so absolutely positive.

And as I said before, and I want to make clear on this.

I don't believe that this virus, and nor have I ever believed this virus was going to be as deadly as everybody worried.

I have not been worried about this virus.

I have been worried about overwhelming the health care system.

We don't want to overwhelm the health care system.

If we do that, we're into a whole nother kettle of fish that we just don't want to get into.

However, as I started to see what it's taking now, $6 trillion,

and I think it's actually more than that, with what the Fed has done before this, this is just $6 trillion between the Fed and the United States Congress.

Those two packages this week were $6 trillion.

I bet we're closer to $10 trillion with everything that's been put into this.

That's an awful lot of money.

And we've got to go back to work to be able to pay for some of this stuff.

Now, let me go back to England here for a second.

Government guidelines.

Government guidelines had everybody separate, including Boris Johnson.

But Boris Johnson now has confirmed he has tested positive for COVID-19.

Over the last 24 hours, he said, I've developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.

I'm now self-isolating, but I'll continue to lead the government response via video conference as we fight this virus.

His partner, Carrie Simones, is pregnant.

She'll also isolate for two weeks.

Together, we'll beat this, he said.

In one of the most irresponsible things I've ever seen, news from Mexico.

And this should concern every single American because Mexicans are going to pay for this and they are going to start making a run for our border and overwhelm our health care system.

And nobody's going to stand up against that in Congress and they should.

Mexicans are making their own bed right now and it's going to cost us, possibly our health care system, if we don't guard against it.

The governor of the central Mexican state of Puebla told reporters yesterday,

you ready?

The majority of people that are getting sick, I'm quoting, are wealthy people, you know.

If you're rich, you're at risk.

But if you're poor, well, no, us poor, we're immune.

What?

Wait, so

does the disease check the tax returns?

How exactly is that?

Yeah, I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

But how many poor people in Mexico who are not paying attention because their government is not making a big deal out of this are just going along with that and going, yeah, well, that's only a rich person's disease.

Yeah, I mean,

the one thing that's interesting about this, too, and going back to the projections we were just talking about, we're not going to necessarily know the answer with the UK and the U.S.

because we've taken sort of these more drastic steps.

Places like Mexico and probably two-thirds of the globe have not.

So we will see if this guy's projections wind up being true in places like Mexico and

in the Middle East and Africa,

because these countries haven't done anything.

I mean,

many of them are not doing even any testing.

You know, Mexico has 300 cases in their country of 129 million people, and it's across a border where the most cases are in the world.

It's obviously not true, and they're just ignoring it at this point and hoping for the best.

Here's what we should be doing:

we should be having our National Guard stand on the border and

have some sort of health care,

some sort of health care facility in a tent or something

that is just on the other side of the border.

We should work with the Mexicans.

They should pay for it.

But, I mean,

that is going to become a humanitarian crisis, and every bleeding heart is going to say, we've got to let them into our hospitals.

No,

we don't.

They've made their bed, and they'll swamp our system.

We will, we've already done all of this, and we've put ourselves in a situation where we might be in a depression.

They did nothing.

They did nothing.

And

we can offer help, and doctors can go down across the border when it starts to hit them if that's what they want to do.

But we cannot have them flooding in and swamping us.

I'm sorry.

Your country is your lifeboat.

You chose incorrectly as a nation.

All right.

I love this story.

Even in a pandemic,

fake meat

won't sell.

Apparently at grocery stores all across the

country, I've seen these pictures everywhere.

Even in a crisis, people will not buy fake hot dogs.

I don't know that that's actually true, but

because I mean, they are projected to make, you know, the market is like tripling every single year at the moment for these things.

But there's certainly a lot of people who will not buy them no matter what.

They'd rather die.

Yeah, no.

You see the pictures of the shelves?

Everything's gone.

All of the vegan and vegetarian stuff, all that fake meat still sitting there.

Everybody's like, man, I'm starving to death.

Well, there's that stuff.

Not that fat.

That's crazy.

What are we?

What are we in Somalia?

I'm not eating that crap.

All right, there's your update for the day.

Back in just a second.

Let me tell you some bad news here on cyber criminals.

Cyber criminals have discovered a way in the past week to hack into your Wi-Fi and literally steal your toilet paper.

No, that's not true.

But if it were true, you'd do something about it, wouldn't you?

America would be like, they're stealing toilet paper.

What do I need to do?

Here's the thing.

Cyber criminals are getting something more important than your toilet paper.

And this stimulus, I think, is only going to make it worse because there's going to be all kinds of people saying, oh, you have to click on this to be able to get the money.

You got to do this.

And hey, we represent the government.

There is a really easy solution to make sure that cyber criminals are not stealing information from your device.

You need Norton 360.

Here's what you get.

A VPN, a virtual private network to help block hackers from stealing personal information and more importantly, maybe,

companies from tracking your online activity.

The government right now is working with these companies to track everything that you're doing.

It's not good.

Also, real-time device security for your devices, a safe cam to block people from being able to take over your webcam, privacy like you need.

It's norton.com/slash beck.

Get Norton's 360.

I just a few weeks ago upgraded.

I had the basic package.

I just upgraded to the maximum package because I think it's worth the extra money.

Get the basic.

It's great as well, but maybe I live in a different world.

Norton.com/slash Beck.

Do it now.

Norton.com/slash Beck.

10 seconds, station ID.

So there is some good news here.

The Justice Department is getting involved in a federal civil rights lawsuit that seeks to block transgendered athletes in Connecticut from competing as girls.

And it looks like

schools must have certain biological males, namely those who particularly identify as female, compete against biological females.

In doing so, it deprives these women of a single-sex athletic competition that are one of the marquee accomplishments of Title IX.

So it looks like they're weighing in on this and they're saying you can't treat trans

athletes as girls, which I think is a

celebratory moment for a lot of parents and, quite honestly, a lot of girls who have worked really, really hard.

Surging traffic on the internet is slowing down the internet.

I swear to you, if I lose my internet,

I lose my mind.

I lose my mind.

You're not alone on that one.

I can't even imagine what this period is like back in the old timey timey days.

What would even go on?

A lot of sex.

A lot of sex.

A lot of sex.

A lot of sex.

Yeah.

That's what would have been happening in the old timey days.

That idea of the old baby boom.

I think we're all so disgusted with each other at this point.

It's probably not going to happen this time.

There's not going to be a corona baby boom because we're all just like, eh, honestly, I'd rather

be Tiger King.

I bet there is a corona virus baby boom.

It'd be interesting to see.

I will tell you this.

I was watching something last night on Netflix, and it started to slow down.

And I looked at Tanya and I went, oh, dear God, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I mean, can you imagine if you had...

you know, rural service, you didn't have high-speed internet.

Can you imagine what it's like in

some some of the places in the country where it's still just not high speed?

Holy cow, being trapped there.

Yeah, that would not be pretty.

Being trapped there,

you got to go outside anyway.

You can go outside.

Imagine New York.

You're trapped.

You can't, if you live on the

40th floor of some skyscraper, you're not getting into the elevator with people.

You're not doing that.

You have to go get food and things like that.

I know.

So what are you doing?

Tying a bandana around?

I mean,

it's a different world.

Especially, I'm so glad.

Yeah, especially I am legend.

Yeah, no,

that's true.

I wonder, it's one of the interesting things about this, too, is people keep saying they have to, you know, be in their house.

And it's like, with our approach, you actually can be outside and do a lot of things outside.

We just hate it so much.

Like, we're, as Jim Gaffigan would say, indoorsy as a people.

And we are.

We don't even, like, I sometimes even forget it's an option to go outside.

I'm just like, wow, we can't.

I know.

My wife said to my son yesterday, she's like, we are going for a drive.

We're going outside.

And my son said, I don't want to go outside.

And I looked at him and I said,

I don't really either.

I'm kind of with him.

We had air conditioning here.

It's nice.

I mean, the whole outside thing is a little overrated, in my opinion.

You know,

it gets too hot or it's too cold i can control everything inside i just need a holodeck make us feel like we're outside and then feel like we're in a spaceship or you know fighting aliens or something i could live in the game world oh yeah ready player one that's me

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're so glad you're here.

You know, there's a couple of essential businesses, if you will, that are being closed down that I think should be marked as essential.

One is our faith centers.

I'm not saying that we all should be going into church, but we have to remember that faith is essential to the American people.

The other one that is much more clear-cut on remaining open, that is a gun store, especially when you have the governments all around our country just letting prisoners out.

I don't even understand that.

Isn't shelter in place the perfect place to do that in prison?

How is this not a

how is how is releasing prisoners a good idea?

I really don't understand that.

Then, on top of it, they're closing the gun stores.

And on top of that, they're telling us, oh, well, our first responders are going to be swamped with calls.

Well, then, who's going to protect you?

We have John Lot on.

John is, John is, he's really, truly a national treasure.

He is probably one of, I would say this directly, he is the most important voice when it comes to guns, gun crime, gun statistics, and that's why he's despised by people on the left because he's, no pun intended, bulletproof with his stats.

He is the president of Crime Prevention Research Center.

Welcome to the program, John Lott Jr.

How are you, sir?

Oh, great to talk to you again, Glenn.

You bet.

So tell me what your thoughts are on

places like L.A.

saying, no, a gun store is not essential.

Right.

Well, I mean, people are concerned about what will happen to the social order.

I mean, we have kind of a perfect storm in the sense that prisoners are being released from prison because of the concern that some people may be particularly susceptible in closed spaces to gain the disease.

We're not arresting people because they don't want to have new people put into the prison system.

In police departments across the country, you have two things that are happening.

One is that many police departments simply aren't responding to many types of calls from victims because

they want to limit the exposure that the police are receiving.

Some departments, like Los Angeles, have issued gloves and goggles and face masks to police.

But the thing is, when you're dealing with the rough and tumble of actually arresting a criminal,

you know, just because you have a face mask on doesn't mean it's going to stay there at the end of the process that you have.

And,

you know, it's you also have a fair number of police who are getting the illness themselves right now.

And

so you're going to have fewer police officers available to be called on.

So you make it like

you have states now and counties that are starting to close down these gun stores.

I think it's surprising what happened in Illinois

where the governor did the exact opposite.

Right.

Yeah, well there are a couple states now where you've had fairly strong

gun control advocate Democratic governors who have actually allowed gun stores to keep operating.

But you have a large number in major states like New York and New Jersey and

other places which have made it impossible for people to be able to go and buy guns for protection.

And

in some of the states where the state actually operates the background check system,

you don't directly go to the federal system.

They've just refused to process any more

purchases.

Yeah, somebody told me they were trying to buy a gun here in Texas recently, and they said that they were told it's almost a month's wait to get it

through the system.

And

that's what they said.

I don't know if that's true, but that's crazy if it is.

Yeah, I've talked to a number of licensed dealers, and they've told me that it's just impossible to get through the system right now.

When they call up, the line's busy.

And,

you know, I assume that's occurring across the country there.

People.

Now,

is that because people are going out and buying guns?

Or, you know, during the Obama administration, that was happening a lot, too.

And during the Clinton administration, you talked to people who were

gun store owners, and they said, boy, the day George Bush was elected, all of a sudden all those phone problems went away.

Is that the same thing, or is this just because they're overwhelmed?

I think it's largely because they're overwhelmed, but of course the system can break down when they have a huge number of calls going into

the system there.

But

we know ammunition sales, for example, in the last three weeks have probably gone up about

300% from what they were

in the three weeks prior to that.

One can only assume that maybe gun sales have been going up similarly over that period of time.

But you know, one thing just to mention about the police is you and I can telecommute to do our jobs.

I mean you could go and do your job from your home.

But police officers don't have that option.

They have to actually come in physical contact with criminals.

that allows them to face risks in terms of the disease that you and I and many others don't have to worry about.

So, John, is any of this going to be corrected, assuming this virus passes without any kind of real problems?

Are we going to be able to take the states to court about this to be able to fix this and shore this up?

Or do they have a right to just shut all this stuff down when it comes to gun stores and guns?

Right.

Well, I mean, there are a number of court cases.

These things take time to wind through,

and it's been kind of a mixed bag so far.

The Pennsylvania state Supreme Court, which is almost completely dominated by Democrats, voted 4 to 3 that the state was allowed to go and shut down the gun stores that were there.

You know, I think the federal courts,

Trump, while he's accomplished a lot in the courts, he's only kind of brought it into balance.

The Democratic nominees had so completely dominated the courts prior to him being there.

People talk about the number of federal judges that he's put on, but

if you look at the circuit courts, 24 of the states are in circuits where Democrats have a majority, and 26 are

in states where Republicans now have a majority.

And so the states which are most likely to put these types of restrictions on are the heavily blue states, and they tend to be in those circuits like the Ninth Circuit, for example, which are still dominated by Democrats.

So,

John,

as you're looking at what's happening with

the situation with guns, what should the average person do and know

today?

Well, I mean, I think just as you have a fire extinguisher because something might happen, a fire might might occur.

We're not talking about the zombie apocalypse right now, but people have concerns about their safety.

If police can't respond to calls, either because the police officers aren't there or because they're simply limiting the number of calls that they're willing to take because they don't want to expose the officers, people have to be able to go and protect themselves.

You know, if you make it less risky for criminals to go and commit crime, they're going to go and commit more crimes than they would have otherwise.

That's happening.

They're already in Philadelphia and other places saying we're not going to prosecute for certain things.

Wait a minute, what?

Right.

Giving them a license.

Right.

If you steal up to $1,000 in some places, you're not going to be prosecuted.

You have these

district attorneys that George Soros and others have supported to get in there.

And they,

you know,

you can have these these horrific videos of people just going into the stores and taking stuff off the shelves because they know that they're not going to get into serious trouble for doing that.

Criminals are like anybody else.

If you make it less risky, less costly for them to go and do something, they're going to do more of it.

John Lott, thank you so much.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Today,

on the Friday exclusive for Blaze TV subscribers only,

sit-down chat with the one and only Candace Owens.

She's going to be on with us, and I'm going to be spending about a half hour commercial free with her just talking about the coronavirus.

She has a really controversial look.

If you're listening to the media, she's just wondering, do we have the data to

do

what we're doing to our country?

Is this the right thing to do?

We'll talk to her about the coronavirus, what you should know, and how we should be thinking about it, according to Candice Owens, today

on the Friday exclusive.

Again, only for Blaze subscribers.

Right now, if you're not a Blaze subscriber, now is the perfect time to subscribe.

Our biggest discount ever, we're doing

a Blaze subscription drive for the coronavirus.

You can get $30 off your year-long membership.

That works out to be about $5 in some change every single month.

It is so well worth...

your

money of paying $5 a month.

If you only watch one show, it's worth that.

That's the price of a, what, a latte, a vente latte

at Starbucks.

It's worth it.

And this is really, I think, service to your fellow man and your country because of the voices we have assembled.

We have Stephen Crowder, we have

Mark Levin, my show, Dave Rubin, Stu's show, Pat's show.

We have the

pseudo-intellectual Lauren Lauren Chen is part of our network.

We have Chad Prather.

We have Phil Robertson.

You name it.

We have them.

And we thank you so much for your subscription.

And we would ask that you would become a member, a team member with us, and help us get this information out.

You can subscribe now at Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Use the promo code Glenn.

Yeah, I know, 30 bucks off is more than they've ever done.

If you're going to be at home watching a lot of quarantine TV, it's a nice little offer to take advantage of.

But I know one of the things you talked about for a long time, Glenn, was trying to get all of those voices in the same place where they would be protected from the media cycles and the outrage brigades and all of that.

And that's kind of what has gone on here.

I mean, we've seen the impact not only with stuff that you've done, but that Mark has done and so many others, and Stephen, Crowder,

so many others.

You look at that and you say, we hear that back from the people in Washington all the time, that they have, you know, heard or seen things on the network that they've wound up using

not only in backdoor meetings, but also in front of the cameras.

And it's moved, you know, it's moved policy.

It's moved, as you pointed out, the president's impeachment defense.

Impeachment.

Included a lot of the things that we've talked about.

It's one of those situations where I think

getting everybody together and giving, you know, look, it's an obviously a really good value for all of those shows for five bucks a month, but I mean, beyond that, it actually has an impact.

And you can't do that nearly as easily when you're trying to do it as a solo person.

It's a lot more difficult to do it.

And so, you know, I think it's a really good value.

And if you want to save 30 bucks, you can do it now.

Yeah.

And I want you to know, I thought of this today because I'm really trying to be responsible with your money and my money and everything else.

And I just want to point this out.

I never even thought of this until

today.

You know, I'm doing some massive renovation on our studio.

It's a massive complex.

I want you to know that's not a Blaze property, so none of that money is coming from Blaze subscriptions.

If anybody was wondering, we are really, really, really frugal

with your money because we know how hard you worked for it.

It goes to put these shows on the air, and that's it.

And our standards have gone way, way up.

And we've become very, very, very cautious with your money.

And especially now, I mean, we never wasted money, but especially now, we know the value of a dollar, and we know how tough it is to survive, and we are built to survive, but we're only built to survive if you subscribe.

This whole model was built so media matters could come to any of us and try to get us kicked off the air, and we didn't have to worry about it because we only answer to you.

We have taken taken advertising dollars and those dollars are fairly stable, but this is going to make a gigantic impact.

And

I don't even know how some media is going to stay in business

because it all has to do with local advertising, national advertising.

And what we're facing is pretty grim.

So our biggest discount ever, it's like five bucks and, I don't know, 50 or 80 80 cents a month now.

It's well, well worth it.

Our biggest discount ever: go to blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Use the promo code Glenn and get that discount and become a member of the team.

It's blazetv.com, promo code Glenn.
