Well, hello, America, and welcome to the program.

I sincerely hope that we are not at a place as Americans to where we are going to let the Democrats jam down the Green New Deal because we're at home panicked.

I want to have a frank conversation with you and ask you where you stand.

I mean, I'm in the danger zone.

I'm right at the edge.

I'm 56.

In Italy, they're saying if you're sick and you're 60, don't even come in.

So I'm in the danger zone.

I would rather have my children stay home and all of us who are over 50 go in and keep this economy going and working.

Even if we all get sick, I'd rather die than kill the country because it's not the economy that's dying.

It's the country.

And I'll show you just what's happening to us just by looking at the talks with the stimulus right now.

We have that coming up in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

You know, there was a day, and you know the time I'm talking about, when nothing for you.

Pick a days full of adventures.

You could do absolutely anything.

You could get hurt and you'd be like, ah, brush it off.

Not a problem.

Doesn't affect me.

I'm going to live forever.

Then

there came the time when you had that birthday and you're like, wow, everything has changed.

Then the pain came.

It came slowly, stealing your daily world of tennis games or pleasant afternoon walks at a time, biking, whatever it is that you enjoy.

Maybe it settled in overnight and has never left you.

Either way, you have two choices.

You can fight it or you can succumb to it.

May I recommend, I fought it, fought it, fought it for such a long time and I was losing the battle.

and I would have periods where I'd be like I am so much better and then it would just go right back down I haven't had that that hill and vale anymore because I take relief factor now you have two choices I choose to fight it 70% of the people who try relief factor go on to order more and they fight it every day and pretty soon it surrenders the three-week quick start try it now for 13

for 19.95 try it for three weeks.

You really don't have anything to lose except your pain, and you will gain your life back.

Try it now.

ReliefFactor.com or call 800-583-84.

800-500-8384.

It's relief factor.com.

Democratically, socialist economies.

Arguing with socialists.

First of all, it's democratic.

The new book from Glenn Beck.

And the other thing, too, is that

you can pre-order it now on Amazon.

Thank you very much.

Oh, yeah.

Hello, secret agents.

It's Glenn Beck and the Glenn Beck program.

Along with my faithful sidekick, it's Stu Bregier, our executive producer, and so much more.

Hello, Stu.

How are you, Glenn?

I am.

I'm still at home, but you know, I'm changing on this thing, and I think the president is changing on on this as well.

You know, the doctors are saying that we have to hunker down for three months.

Yesterday, he made a very big point.

Hmm, see this plan?

See this plan right here?

Plan says 15 days, 15 days.

And he said yesterday, I'm not saying that next week it's over, but I'm telling you, it's not going to be months from now.

And now the doctors and the media and everybody else say, that's crazy talk.

That's crazy talk.

Let me tell you what crazy talk is.

So the stimulus package yesterday went in front of the House because Nancy Pelosi had to fly right back in because they have an opportunity because so many Republicans in the Senate now are missing.

So they have an opportunity.

They can get all kinds of things in.

So here's what the Democrats proposed yesterday.

as a stimulus bill to make sure America keeps running.

Now, I want you to understand, we're not talking about the shutdown of the economy.

We're not talking about saving the economy.

We're talking about saving lives.

We're talking about saving the nation.

Our whole system is up for grabs if this thing collapses.

And we're very close to collapse.

So here's what they did.

They put their heads together and they came up with

$1.5,000 in aid per individual.

So $1,500 per individual, as much as $7,500 for a family of five fifteen hundred dollars per person instead of the twelve hundred on the table under the Senate measure laid out on Sunday now unlike the latest plan from the Senate Republicans higher earners would have to pay back part or all of that assistance over three years if their taxable income is seventy five hundred dollars or more for a single filer or a hundred and fifty or more for couples filing jointly.

The money would be available to anyone, listen to this, anyone with a tax ID number and to retirees and people who are unemployed rather than just people who file taxes for 2019 or get Social Security.

Is it possible?

I mean, tax ID number.

Can you get a tax ID number and still be an illegal alien?

It would create a temporary federal pandemic unemployment compensation of $600 a week for any worker affected by the virus and eligible for unemployment compensation benefits.

It would expand paid leave and family medical leave.

It would aim to help current borrowers with student debt, seeks more than $500 billion in grants, interest-free loans to small businesses, would provide $200 billion in funding for states, $15 billion to local governments through community development block grants.

They also want to ensure that states can carry out this year's election, and they want to have a $4 billion grant in funding for election.

Well, that's the thing I want to do is turn the elections over to the Democrats.

It also would require airlines to adopt strict Green New Deal style emission rules.

Here we go.

There's a pay equity clause.

Oh, so they have to, now companies have to make sure that everyone is paid exactly the same.

Funding for community newspapers.

What about bloggers?

More people listen to blogs and read blogs than they read local newspapers.

What about local bloggers?

They want free internet.

How do you provide free internet?

How do you do that?

I mean, do we just pay these companies to provide the free internet for everybody?

Is that what we do?

The main thing, I think, is you have to negotiate with the internet ferry.

The internet ferry flies in and leaves the internet under your pillow.

And that happens.

All right, good.

$100 million for NASA's Environmental Restoration Group.

I don't even know what that is.

Mandatory paid sick leave for every single business, hiding the citizenship status for college students from the Census Bureau.

Now, when I was thinking last night, you know what's going to save this country?

You know what's going to do it?

You know what we really need to do for coronavirus?

Because I'm staying at home.

We're all staying at home.

We're all crippling our small businesses.

You know what I really want the Democrats to do is get in there that citizenship status being hidden for the college students, from the Census Bureau.

I mean, man, we got to do that anyway by hook or by crook.

And good thing,

the hook and the crook,

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are in office.

They've demanded those stringent fuel emission standards for airlines.

You know, because if you're going to give them billions of dollars in loans, they need to cut their carbon commissions by half in 2050, don't you think?

I mean, otherwise, you're not worth saving.

You're not worth saving.

They also want a billion dollars for the airlines because they're going to need new planes.

And so

they're going to create a buyback program for all those old planes because they're less efficient.

So we've now, they're now proposing a cash for clunkers for airplanes.

They also want tax credits for solar energy and wind energy and provisions to force employers to give special new treatment to

big labor.

As if that's not enough,

Elon O'Marr and

Presley, Ayanna Presley from Massachusetts, she's a forgotten Beatle, isn't she?

Presley?

I think she's the one that nobody even knows.

I don't.

Presley is.

I don't know her enough.

She's the Ringo, right?

Yeah, she's the Ringo.

She's the Forgotten One.

Right.

I always think it's AOC is McCartney.

Omar is Harrison.

No, I know.

Omar is

Lennon.

Harrison is Rashida Tlaib.

And then Presley is Ringo.

Yeah.

Without the career after the Beatles.

Oh, yeah.

We'll see what happens after this.

It's hard to imagine.

But yes, you're right.

I don't know how good the solo career is going to go.

Yeah.

So they want to just cancel some student debt because no one should have to choose between paying their student loan payment and putting food on the table or keeping their family safe and healthy.

Now, James Clyburn was the one that was actually honest about things.

He said, this is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.

Oh,

man, that's almost a quote from the Fabian window.

Let's remold, heat the earth so we can remold it closer to our heart's desire.

Thank you very much, James Clyburn.

Both drafts are emerging now.

They are dramatically different.

Obviously, the Senate bill also has the payroll tax suspension in it.

Democrats say, no, no, no, we just need to expand the health insurance premium tax credits under Obamacare.

Okay.

All right.

Okay.

I don't think this is going to play well.

I don't think people are,

you know, even last week, two weeks ago, maybe when we were a little more of a panic, I think Americans are sick of this.

I think Americans are just like, I've done it.

I've sat in my home for a while.

I saw, I mean, I watched your wife have her breakdown yesterday online, Stu.

Oh, I watched it.

I saw it.

Oh, yeah.

Well, I'm glad.

I'm glad you did.

No, I know.

It's an ongoing issue.

She's having a tough time with it.

Look, it's a difficult change for her.

And I think

as is pointed out with her responses, you know,

hundreds just to her, but I mean, millions of people around the country are going from maybe at work, maybe

working all day at an office, doing all sorts of different things, to I am now homeschooling, jumping in the middle of a curriculum with my two kids at home by myself all day.

We can never go anywhere.

That's a tough

transition for a lot of people.

I know.

I know.

I mean, it's terrifying.

If I lived in

the apartment that I lived in when I had my two kids with me and I was divorced, it was what, 800 square feet?

Yeah, probably, yeah.

Yeah, 800 square feet.

If I were trapped in that apartment with those kids all day, I'd throw myself off the balcony.

I mean, you just would go crazy after a while.

You just would.

Yeah, and you just would.

That's one of the things that they were talking about in the press conference yesterday, and it's like, well, you know what?

There are real health ramifications to what we're attempting.

Oh, there.

You know?

No, no, no, no.

No, I saw, no, I saw the reporter in the front.

Yes, Mr.

President,

you're trying to say there will be suicides from this, from the economy going down and and people losing their job and staying at home with their kids?

You think there's going to be an increase of suicides?

Only in all cases in human history, right?

Every time, especially when you're talking about a, what we're looking at, minus 24% GDP in one quarter.

You know,

we've seen projections of 30% unemployment.

That would be higher than the Great Depression.

Those sorts of things.

I don't know if you remember the Great Depression.

There was a lot of of news reports about it at the time.

Lots of people jumping off of things.

Yeah, you know what?

And that was in a time when people actually

were closer to the bottom.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

A lot of people didn't have air conditioning.

Well, nobody had air conditioning.

A lot of people didn't have refrigeration or telephones or cars or anything else.

They weren't going to a store where everything was wrapped beautifully.

They were used to actually having nothing in comparison and they were killing themselves now.

Can you imagine this country with 30% unemployment, no faith whatsoever,

no infrastructure for

going and getting help

with faith?

It all has to come through the government.

My gosh, what a nightmare it'll be.

Yeah.

But

I decided, hey, if you can't beat them, which we're going to, if you can't beat them, join them.

And so I came up with, I want to be a helper to the Democrats.

I want to be a helper.

Okay.

So I came up with some other things that aren't in the bill that I think we should demand.

And I'm looking for anybody in Congress who will just stand up and say, you know what?

I'd like to add an addendum here to the Democrat.

I'm thinking about switching and becoming a Democrat because I understand your thinking and let me help you out on that.

So I'll give those to you here in one minute.

Stand by.

All right, here's the thing you need to know.

The ship is not going to go down.

America is not going to be defeated by a virus.

It's not going to be defeated by the terrifying twists and turns of the market either.

There is hope, and we will be well again in the future, as long as we remember who we are.

Now, much of that hope rests on the shoulders of people like you and me, the people in the rate, just the regular people in America.

I don't have a lot of hope with people from Washington, D.C.

I have zero hope with the people in media.

I have a lot when I go and talk to my neighbors.

The people who are living through this now more than ever, we have a duty to be fiscally responsible because fiscal responsibility is going to be the life preserver for the Republic.

I've been talking to you for years now about gold line, and you know the drill.

Not all portfolios are the same.

Precious metals will make more sense for some people, less for others.

But in no case that I'm aware of does it make no sense.

I just saw something, and this I didn't even believe.

So I'm not saying you believe this, but

I read somewhere last night.

Where was it?

They were talking about how the market is behaving.

And if the market continues down this way, that by 2022, I think they said, gold would be at $11,000 if the markets all around the world just collapse and continue to go there.

That's insane.

That's insane.

I remember talking to Mark Alberian from Goldline years ago, and I said, geez, Mark, where could gold be?

I said, could it be at 5,000?

He said, Glenn,

this is why I like these guys.

This is the president of Goldline at the time.

He said, I hope to God not.

And I said, why?

It'd be a great, great thing for you.

And he said, do you know what our country would be like if gold was $5,000 an ounce?

We're almost at two, gang.

We're almost at two.

Please, if you're stuck at home, you got nothing to do, call them.

Talk to them.

Hi.

Hi, can I just talk to you?

I just want to talk to an adult.

Call Goldline now at 866Goldline.

866 Goldline.

They will help you discover what's right for you.

This is where responsibility kicks in.

This is where hope begins.

Goldline at 866Goldline.

866 Goldline or Goldline.com.

10 seconds station ID.

All right, we got a couple of guys on.

One from Dallas that just recovered from the coronavirus.

He's going to tell us what it was like.

He said it wasn't so bad.

We have another guy on in about an hour from now who has just recovered.

And

he had already said goodbye to his family.

He was sure he was going to die.

And doctors were sure he was going to die.

He convinced them to take this new drug, or it's actually a very, very old drug, and just try it.

The doctors were like, well, I don't have anything to lose.

And he took it, and he is well.

Within two days, he was well.

I don't know why the media is underplaying all of this,

but

you know, I saw latest poll on the media and they are they have a lower approval rating than the president so that should tell you something all right so i was thinking stu about going to see nancy pelosi and um saying all right i would recommend if we're gonna go for it a hundred billion dollars in funding to improve celebrity in-home quarantine streaming studios

Because I see them all singing together and vlogging while they're in lockdown.

And, oh my gosh, they are so cute.

They just remind,

don't you think of Anne Frank?

The minute you see those celebrities, you think, oh my gosh, it's like Anne Frank.

But they need ring lights and omnidirectional stereo microphones and improved lens filters because let's be honest, sure, iPhone, you know, the cameras are great and everything, but I don't want to see Madonna in a bathtub ever again.

No.

At least without really good lenses, you know?

So a congressional plan to provide celebrities with better vlogging equipment, I think

that's in the nation's interest.

Cash for DoorDash.

I think we can all get behind this.

Massive increase with

online food delivery.

They're saying that in some places like DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, 200% increase.

Can we get some

get some money in there for Boober Eats as well?

Well, I think so.

That's in Oregon.

I think so.

I I think we could do that.

Boober Eats.

This is a strip club that had to close, and they thought, why not have the strippers deliver food?

It's called Boober Eats.

I think it's brilliant myself.

But, you know, with this kind of increase,

I think,

well, what comes to mind right away, Stu, when I say, you know, 200% increase, you know, for DoorDash and Grubhub, why would they need money?

Say it with me.

Climate change.

Climate change.

Oh, yeah, climate change, of course.

Yeah.

All the pollution from from all that driving.

So I think that we should

have enough money in the stimulus package to make sure that they all have electric cars or something like that.

And to make sure the food arrives hot.

You know, I was thinking that, you know, you could have a Tesla.

They could drive a Tesla, which is really fast.

But that makes too much sense for Congress.

So to speak the language of Congress, I think Congress should insist and mandate that wolf gas ranges are installed in the the back seat of every hybrid that could possibly be used for DoorDash, Grubhub, or Uber Eats, because I think that's the kind of help we're looking for from Congress.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the one and only Mr.

Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.

Pat, I don't know if you've seen the very, very,

the very, very talented and riveting Joe Biden in his latest

video from home, but I'd like to play it here.

Here's Joe Biden

in his little podcast room in his home.

I'm glad the president has finally activated the National Guard.

Now we need the armed forces and the National Guard to help with hospital capacity, supplies, and logistics.

We need to activate the Reserve Corps of doctors and nurses and beef up the number of responders dealing with

these crushive cases.

And

in addition to that, we have to make sure that we are in a position that we are...

Well, let me go to the second thing.

I'm supposed to be.

Okay, yeah, go to the second thing.

The president must use the Spoke Production Act.

I mean, he is out of it.

So bad.

He's out of it.

I mean, why would you let him do this live?

Just claim it's live.

Just tape it.

Tape it 50 times until you get one that's okay and then air it.

Does he not have one single advisor with common sense?

Seriously.

That's so bad.

He's just negligent.

Something happens with the prompter and he just cannot continue.

And he's like,

Time for medicine, mommy.

I don't.

I tend to think that the advisors that he has around him are absolutely smart enough to be telling him, this has got to be recorded.

Let's do it recorded.

And I think he's fighting it off.

No, no, come on now.

I've been doing this for 30 years.

It must be.

I think that's what it is.

It's got to be.

Because it's too common.

Like we saw the advisor with him walking through the crowd when he was getting in that argument.

She obviously was like, you've got to get out of this.

This is a terrible moment.

Everyone's seeing this on camera.

And Joe's like, shh.

Like he's

he thinks he still has it and he's trying to hold on to it.

And all of his advisors, advisors, I think, probably know, but they can't stop him.

Yeah.

It's ugly.

Okay, so wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

What do you think that maybe his advisor is Andrew Cuomo?

Just saying.

Andrew Cuomo, why?

I'm convinced that Andrew Cuomo

wants to be the president.

I mean, I got the right Cuomo right.

Yes.

Not the TV Cuomo.

Sorry, not Fredo.

The governor of New York.

Yeah, I'm talking about the governor.

I think that's everybody's going to say, look, he's completely out of control.

And Cuomo's going to come through this because he's already wearing the tight-fitting, you know, governor t-shirt.

Like,

I'm in the war room right now.

Look at me.

I'm doing all these things.

I was just out building some houses for the homeless and decided to come in here and do this, too.

I mean, he's, I think he's horrible, but he's better than Joe Biden.

And keep thinking this is the guy who's going to come in at the end that's it that's an interesting one i because i think objectively the only reason people think cuomo is doing a good job is because he's doing a better job than de Blasio who's a complete disaster but I mean this is there he's in the middle of overseeing the biggest disaster of this entire crisis.

And he was the one saying we're not going to shut it down.

That's crazy.

That's not going to happen.

And two days later, shut it down.

I don't see why anyone thinks he's doing a competent job here.

Yeah, he told me.

Because

he can blame the president.

Although he's not doing that.

No, he's speaking to him.

He's actually praising the president, which is, I don't know, the whole thing's really weird.

Because he made a big deal out of the fact that he was talking to his business buddy.

And his business buddy was all freaked out that the rumor was he was going to shut down New York.

Oh, no, we're not going to do that.

Like you said.

And then they did it.

Wait.

You just bragged about the fact you're not going to do it.

Now you've done it.

And your numbers have increased in about a week and a half from around a thousand to twenty-three thousand.

So about half the cases in the country.

Yeah.

It's bad.

It's really bad.

It's bad.

You know, let me ask you this.

Have you guys seen?

Go to

shoot.

Where was that?

Here it is.

Go to the website.

Do you have your

iPad with you or anything?

I don't.

Go to covidactnow.org.

COVIDactNow.org.

This is why your state must act now.

And it's giving you a prediction, or not a prediction, it's a model, a predictive model to see the projections for your state on when your healthcare

system is going to be overwhelmed.

And if you go to New York, let me just go to New York, you click on that, you will see that with limited action, hospitals are expected to peak at about April 12th.

And we are just barely there.

I mean, it's almost a straight line up from April 1st until the 12th, just overwhelming the hospital.

But they have

They are they doing social distancing and they just closed everybody in, right?

Yeah, they want you full shutdown

yeah.

Right, so they peak at around April 20th.

Now, here's the interesting part: go to Texas.

If you go to Texas, where we're at, and really nothing seems to be happening here,

you are peaking two weeks later, April 28th.

But if you look down at the number of dead with no action in just Texas, they say estimated deaths 583,000.

Three months of social distancing, 430,000.

Three months of shelter in place, 5,000.

Yeah.

Now, where are they getting these numbers?

Three months of social distancing, 430,000.

Where else are we seeing that kind of death?

Yeah, and you know, where?

Because you could say.

We're early on in this process.

Obviously, we've seen places like Italy that have blown up, but not like this.

You've seen, but like, not like that.

You see, like, for example, you could project New York turning into a real mega disaster right now, although those numbers seem completely ridiculous to me.

But the other thing is, we've seen Washington

have a real, the early big blow-up and then not turn into a mega disaster, right?

It seems to have recovered a little bit.

Now, it was sort of cordoned off in that one nursing home at the beginning, so maybe that was that's the way out of it.

But this is what I find so interesting about this and why the only reason I have any hope that this could potentially have some sort of

logical resolution is that it's unlike a global warming where they say, if we don't act now, everything's going to go terrible.

And every year that goes by where it's not terrible, they just say it's more years down the road.

It's 10 years from now.

It's always 10 years from now.

This is like two weeks, three weeks.

Yeah.

We'll know really soon.

Yeah, we can order.

Well, you should know.

What's the date today?

The date today is March 24th.

March 24th.

Okay, so in three days in New York, if they took no action, in three days, the hospitals should be overloaded.

In three months of social distancing, the hospitals should be overloaded by April 3rd.

So, you know, they didn't do the three months of shelter in place.

So it's got to be by April 7th, which is what, next Tuesday, Wednesday?

And if that growth is as extreme as they say, over the next few weeks, we're going to have multiple examples of completely out-of-control situations.

If we don't have that,

then

we have to realize that somewhere in their projections, it's just not right.

And, you know, that is going to, I think, change the way that we handle this.

Yeah, we have 786 people in Texas with the virus right now.

786.

Look at this.

No action in the state of New York.

This is New York City where everyone's living on top of each other.

No action.

Estimated death, 392,000.

Three months of social distancing, 292.

Now go back to Texas.

Let's look at Texas.

Three months of social distancing is 430,000 deaths.

No action, 583.

That's not possible.

That's just not possible.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

And the CDC's estimates of doing nothing.

The high-end number they came up with was 2.2 million dead.

So this is way more than this.

We're talking about two states.

We're already at a million.

Right?

I mean, if you added up all these states, it would be much, much higher than what the CDC believed was possible.

And I believe the London university that has been giving out a lot of the scarier sort of models,

I don't know.

It doesn't seem, I don't know.

Pat, do you feel that?

Not at all.

I go back and forth on this a lot,

admittedly, but like it's, I know, I never get to this situation,

but you listen to some of these experts and they're like so confident.

And you, you could tell the difference between an Al Gore and these guys.

These guys are saying, like, look, in two weeks, we're going to wish we completely shut off society.

Al Gore is like, in 40 years, there's like, how can you judge those things?

Well, I'll be cannibal

in 38 years.

And then 38 years pass.

Well, that's because of some of the actions I took.

It's going to be another six years.

And they just keep pushing it back.

Exactly.

But this is like, you can't do it.

It's too immediate.

We're going to be able to, you know, Gavin Newsom said in eight weeks, 26 million people just in California are going to have this.

There's no way that's going to happen.

If that happens, we're going to be happy to shut down society, right?

Yes.

You're not going to have an argument for for me.

This is why I think the president said yesterday, it's not going to be months.

It's not going to be months.

I don't think he bought these projections from the beginning.

I really don't.

I don't either.

I think, but he was surrounded by a bunch of people who are experts.

You know, he's just thinking he's the doctor himself.

No, nope.

I don't think he bought into this at all.

But all of the experts said, Mr.

President, and now he's seeing, well, wait a minute.

He's He's seeing numbers like this and going, well, hang on just a sec.

Where else are we seeing this?

I mean, Mexico, what's happening to Mexico?

Mexico, they're still,

they're practically having a lick your face marathon in Mexico right now.

Oh, yeah.

And

it's not overrunning in Mexico.

Now, it may come yet.

But I think this is why the president said yesterday, it's not going to be months.

He's betting on his gut.

It's not going to be months.

But we'll reevaluate.

Maybe it is.

And he's looking to next week.

And if these numbers in New York and California aren't starting to pile up as they were predicted, I think he's going to start taking the economy and opening it up.

Because I have news for you.

As a guy who's in the target range, Pat, you're in the target range.

You know,

in Italy, they're saying, if you're 60, don't even bother coming into the hospital.

We can't save you.

We're too overrun.

Well, I got news for you.

If it is my children have an America left left

and I have to go in and work with a bunch of 60-year-olds just to keep this economy going and we're working while they're sheltered in place, I'll do it.

I mean, I'd rather die than have the nation die for my children.

Absolutely.

And I think the one unacceptable variable in all of this to Americans is if Netflix slows down their streaming speeds.

If that happens, all bets are off.

They're already saying it.

All bets are off.

They're already saying it.

Wait, wait.

Don't panic.

Let's watch those numbers.

When we see those speeds start to come down,

then we'll arrive.

These projections are already saving.

They're going to go to standard definition.

By the way, I just have to point out: did you hear that

Joe Biden said

that he just got high-speed internet in his house?

They put in some new high-speed internet so

I can have my studio in my house.

Oh wow, Joe

High-speed internet.

Hmm.

Wow, that's that's a that's a big deal.

Good for you

All right

when cyber protection

When the cyber protection clan is away the cyber criminals will play as you're holed up in your bunker or your home during the perilous days ahead you should be warned that you could be inundated with fake products

phony stock deals, and fabricated emails and texts and social media posts designed to play off the fears that you have of coronavirus.

The SEC recently issued an alert to warn of investment schemes that are pitching the products or services that purport to help stop the outbreak.

There isn't a level in which they will not stoop to.

And on top of that, it's tax season.

Cyber criminals and identity thieves are smart.

They get smarter all the time.

They learn how to play off of people.

Please be careful.

Do not become a victim.

Well, they've now they've put a new high-speed line into my home and they've converted a recreation room into a television studio.

I'm quoting Joe Biden.

There's so much wrong with that sentence.

They put a new high-speed line into my home.

So what waiting for you?

How

do you do that?

Dial-up before?

Dial-up?

I don't know.

I've been dialing.

I've been using that still.

I got my Net Zero account all fired up.

It's this new high-speed line they can put in.

And they converted a recreation room.

They haven't called it a rec room since 1968.

And even in 1968, they called it a wreck room, not a recreation room, right?

No, I know.

Recreation room was before it got hip.

Before, you know, before the hipsters stood in and went, you know, you know, pops, let's just call that a rec room.

I mean, I could just say, it doesn't, it just smells of that fake wood paneling.

Yeah.

Just that whole sentence just has fake wood paneling all around it.

And they converted my recreation room into a television studio.

Oh, the high-tech things we can do now.

I mean,

all he has to do is

just stop improving.

Stop doing things that are live.

This is the perfect circumstance.

I know, obviously, it's a terrible thing for the nation, but for the Joe Biden campaign, could there be a better circumstance?

No one can, he can't be seen in public.

How do you have gaffes?

You're in your house recording videos.

Just don't

be insane.

In my rec room.

You know what?

This is going to pay off to Trump's

advantage because he is,

it's like a fireside chat every day at five o'clock when he's giving his press conferences.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Well, hello, America, and welcome to the program.

Coming up, we've got two people that have had the coronavirus.

Both are past it.

Both have a different feel

on

what it was like.

And one of them claims that the cure was this drug that people with lupus or people with bad, bad rheumatoid arthritis have been taking for years and years and years.

The president touted it last week.

He had already said goodbye to his family.

And the doctors say, well, let's just give it a whirl.

We're going to talk to both of these guys in just a moment.

Stand by.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Relief factor, if you're in pain,

there is a solution for you.

Pain is caused a lot of it by inflammation in the body.

And they're saying, you know, ibuprofen, you shouldn't take ibuprofen with this.

Have you heard That with coronavirus, they're saying...

Yeah, I don't think that's...

You have to.

No.

Yeah, it looks like that's not really true.

But

there's some studies that are on the small side that kind of indicate it could be an issue.

Okay.

All right, so inflammation is a real problem, and a lot of people will just take ibuprofen and

hope that it goes away.

I tell you, I could take, you know, when the doctors say, well, I'm going to, I don't know if you can handle this.

Ibuprofen 800.

Oh, shut up.

So Hunter Howard tested positive for coronavirus.

He's a 50-year-old man.

He's a guy who lives in Dallas.

He came home from Aspen early in the month and he got a low-grade fever, turned into a dry cough, led to headaches, all of the signs, and he was diagnosed with coronavirus.

We go to Hunter now.

Hi, Hunter.

How are you?

I'm doing great, Glenn.

Feeling much better.

Thank you very much.

I'm glad to hear it.

So you're a relatively healthy guy.

You were out skiing, and you don't have any real underlying health problems, right?

That's exactly right.

I didn't have any pulmonary issues.

I don't have any immune suppression issues.

So, you know, I had about five days of,

it was a very, very bad flu, but it was, you know, it kept me down.

And if I didn't know what the symptoms were to be looking for them to understand kind of what the striction to my lungs and the difficulty breathing, you know, I would have thought it was the flu, but you know, because of the timing of it, I realized with the difficulty breathing that there was something a lot different going on.

Really the scariest part was the unknown.

The unknown of how much worse it might get.

At the end of the day, it wasn't that bad.

But as my breathing got worse, as the doctor said, stay away from the hospital unless you need ICU breathing support, then we'll help you.

And so then just, you know, just trying to think through, okay,

when is that mark going to happen?

We're going to need some more support from here, from an ICU ventilator.

And

did they give you any indication on, yeah, here's when you need that breathing apparatus?

Or did they just trust that you would know?

I don't think they knew, to be honest with you.

I think that they just knew that they didn't have the ventilators or the beds to kind of support people coming in and that I was really supposed to know on when I needed that.

And so really zero guidelines to what that point might be.

And so at one point I woke up and I was just heard my lungs working.

Like it was like my lungs were paper bags just crackling and bubbling as they were just

there's a lot of effort to breathe.

But

then I, frankly, for me, I was told by the doctors take 1600 milligrams of Tylenol,

you know, not ibuprofen.

And I just had 2,000 around, so I took that and it cut the fever.

And I've been really doing better every day since then.

So that was about ⁇ that was last Saturday.

And it's been kind of uphill or downhill.

How long did you have it?

First, take me through the ⁇ what's the first sign?

And when did you go, holy crap, I might have coronavirus?

It was about three or four days.

I'm not sure exactly when I caught it in aspen, but I think it was a breeding ground in Aspen that weekend, unfortunately.

And so it was about three or four days before I started to get the low-grade fever and the headaches.

And then that was, then day five was kind of really intensifying.

The fever got really bad.

Hever got bad.

The body aches got really bad.

And I knew something else was going on.

That's when I got really, the restricted breathing.

There's like a strap around my chest that was just making it difficult to breathe.

And so that was about three or four days of the intense

difficulties.

And then the fever cut.

And so I feel very lucky, though.

Everything's done.

I'm in the healthcare world.

And so I have a telemedicine company.

And so I had access to physicians and people to help me out to help.

But even then, they didn't know either.

We're learning day by day on this.

So you're a telemedicine guy.

Exactly.

And so we've been providing a lot of support to people to understand this.

Yeah, this is, I don't think most people understand.

You know, I've been saying recently, to talk about redesigning the entire healthcare system now is like saying we've got to redesign the entire horse and buggy industry in 1920.

It's, it's over.

And just telemedicine and the way things are going to change, it's going to relieve so much.

And this is really the time where telemedicine can really

show off and you could accelerate that quickly because it's so good.

You're exactly right about that.

There's a couple of pain points that we saw a couple years ago about just getting access to the right type of specialist.

88% of the country is medically underserved for basic care, let alone access to specialists.

So that's what we've been focusing on.

And then, you know, I'd like to give a lot of credit to CMS and the administration right now.

They have lowered a lot of the restrictions on telemedicine over the past couple of weeks where they had very strict guidelines on state-by-state regulations, state licenses, certain things you can and can't do.

And they said, in the short term, we're going to drop all of those, and we're going to allow people to get access to the care that they need

during this process.

And we're not going to worry about regulations that might have been burdensome.

So, you know, a lot of credit goes to the administration, CMS, and

really kind of our

federal people who are kind of just dropping those to make sure people are getting the care that they need.

It's been amazing how quickly they're moving.

We're talking to Hunter Howard.

He's a Dallas resident with confirmed COVID-19.

So when you were diagnosed, did you go to the hospital or how did they diagnose you?

Yeah, so I was lucky to understand how the system works a little bit.

And when I started learning about my symptoms, there was nothing set up in town.

In fact, Dallas at that point only had 42 testing units per day to give out.

And they told me, we're only going to give you one of these testing units if you are needing ventilator support in an ICU right now.

That was on Thursday or Friday.

And then over the weekend, Baylor Scott and Wine had set up a

the hospital system had set up a mobile unit in Dallas.

And so by then they had more testing units that were coming into town.

So I was able to get access to those units and get referred.

So I was referred by my physician into that system.

It was really about 20 minutes.

And just, you know, there were four nurses out there.

I want to give my absolute hats off to our first line of the nurses and healthcare responders who are putting themselves in harm's way.

So they were just so kind and

just really, it was about 15, 20 minutes to go through there.

It was

about a three-inch long swab that they kind of stuck into my nasal cavity, which it felt like they were trying to swap the thing, to be honest with you.

But it was

what needed to be done.

And I found that a day later by my doctor, and then I got a call by Dallas County Health and a caseworker assigned to me.

And it was really amazing how quickly our community stepped up to be organized around this.

So if you had to do it all over again,

what should we fix?

What was lacking?

Well, the most important thing that's lacking right now is just kind of access to the beds, the ventilators, the masks, and things like that.

So I was on a call last night with Dallas business leaders, and what we're talking about is moving from a population mitigation strategy to a case-based

intervention strategy.

And what I mean by that is

in the short term, as we're we're learning about this incredible curve of how many people are getting sick so rapidly and

how contagious this is, we're having to employ population mitigation strategies that are really very severe, but that's a necessary strategy just to control the community

transmissions.

But what we're trying to do, we're talking about, okay, is instead of it being everything being guided by the

healthcare leaders who are just looking at

the number of cases that are being trans you know the transmitted and just looking at those numbers,

what can we do in Dallas to make sure that we're caring for every man, woman, and child?

And so that's really kind of the shift from once you get a control of the transmissions in the community, and instead of only having a population mitigation strategy, what do we have to do to build more hospital beds?

What do we have to do to get more ventilators in town?

What do we have to do to get more tests in town?

And so we actually pretty amazing group of kind of business leaders in Dallas coming together saying, what does the city need to support that?

What do we need to do

to help you?

Do you need locations?

Do you need beds?

Do you need rooms?

Do you need, you know, do we need to convert some more businesses to converting ventilators?

And so we're working with the city of Dallas and the state of Texas and figuring out how can we support the community so that we can start moving from transitional functions population mitigation strategies to shifting into a case-based intervention once we know that we've got a control over

that we can put every single person that gets sick in a bed, in a ventilator that's needed, things like that.

And that's some of the conversations that the business leaders in Dallas are hoping we can kind of move towards a combination of the population mitigation.

And we've got this.

Dallas has got this.

They've got our support from the business leaders, and we're going to give them whatever they need to make sure that we can control this

medically.

So, Hunter,

were you a believer in this

was as bad as they say it was when you went up to Vale?

No, I'll be honest with you.

I'm going for a friend's 50th birthday, and

at that point, there's a little bit of information that was coming out about it, but it was still, you know, really mostly was happening over in Italy and China at that point.

And I, you know, had it,

and I

had a kit, a mask that had an LED lighting on it.

I have a

video with my friends of me in the air and the airplane with a LED-lit

mask, and we're kind of making a joke out of it at that point.

And we knew it was serious.

We knew they would have to go to the places.

But it couldn't.

Not you.

Well, I had the case, I had the mask, but

we didn't realize how serious it was going to get this quickly.

We did not.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

You didn't think it would happen to you.

Exactly.

Are you convinced that

we are going to see these astronomical numbers that the CDC is talking about now?

So that really comes into the population mitigation strategies.

And in certain cities, it's out there.

And we're working on two-week trailing indicators with the testing.

And so

what we're seeing today with the numbers are what happened probably about 10 days ago.

So the numbers are going up.

And more importantly, right now, is

what are the, you know, how is the chloroquine working?

So I have friends in the New York City healthcare system.

And from what I am hearing anecdotally,

it is working miraculously well.

So we have a guy coming on in 10 minutes.

And he says, I mean, he said goodbye to his family, everything.

The doctors gave him the hydrochloroquine.

And he said two days later, he's fully back.

And he credits that.

But the press and everyone, no one is willing to say that this is even a possibility at this point.

And I don't understand why.

This is an old drug.

You know, as long as it's under supervision

and, you know, we're doing it in the right way with doctor supervision.

I don't understand why more people in the press aren't excited about the possibility of this drug.

Glenn, I'm hearing from the healthcare workers in New York City

from the ER that it's working.

It's absolutely working right now.

And so it's still a little bit

anecdotal versus evidence-based.

We don't have a lot of the data around it, but

it's working, is what I'm hearing from frontline healthcare providers that are in the

making that stuff day and night.

We should be making that stuff day and night.

All right.

Thank you so much, Hunter.

I'm glad that you're feeling better, and thanks for your service to the community.

I appreciate it.

Howard Hunter, the first guy in Dallas to test positive for coronavirus, on the mend now.

I'm sorry, Hunter Howard.

I don't.

Hunter needs to change the name.

It should be Howard Hunter, not Hunter Howard.

We'll get back on the phone with him and let him know his name should change.

Yeah, let him know.

He's got to change his, got to change his name.

All right.

Rough greens.

This is what I feed my dog.

Well, no, I don't feed my dog this.

I put this in my dog's food.

It's not a dog food.

I just sprinkle this on top of it, and it's like dog crack.

I mean, he gets gets up in the morning and he runs to the bowl.

I say, you want to eat?

And he just runs to the bowl.

I mean,

it's like a herd of wild horses running to his bowl.

If your dog is not eating, is a finicky eater, or you just don't think your dog is getting the nutrition that they need to have, this isn't to help your dog eat.

This is...

To help your dog live a really strong life.

It's a supplement that you put in your dog's food.

It has massive amounts of vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, even omega oils and antioxidants.

My dog has changed.

Uno is a different dog.

You want to take care of your dog, give him the right stuff.

You can even go down.

I shouldn't recommend this because I don't know what I'm talking about.

Talk to your vet, but I think you could probably even go down in dog food and buy something that's a little cheaper if you're trying to save money and buy rough greens because I brought rough greens to my vet and they were like, oh, this stuff is fantastic.

Yes.

10 seconds, station ID.

Okay.

What's her name?

All right, let me go to Christy online with us now.

Hi, Christy.

Welcome.

Hi, Glenn.

Hi.

Where are you a nurse?

I am an administrator for a home health agency in Boise, Idaho.

Okay, good.

So I'm calling.

I'm a longtime listener, and I actually was listening to you when you first started talking about this back late January, early February, and I was doing a class on epidemiology, and I had happened to see some stuff coming out of China.

And between you and what I saw, I was like, this is not good.

And we had been seeing already actually seeing some patients with this respiratory thing that we were going, what is it?

We didn't know what it was.

So, there's a lot of people in our area that are thinking, you know, it's been here,

you know, in that time frame that China wasn't being honest with us.

Right.

And it got here pretty quick, which means it was already before we ever started doing anything, it was on the move.

And I think your frustration and some of the frustration with all these numbers that we're seeing and feeling is that

we're not getting the tests back quickly enough.

So I've had employees, I've had patients that are being tested, and it's taken a week for us to get the actual test results back.

So by the time we do get the test results and they're making the numbers on the television, it's a week later.

So the numbers you're seeing today versus what you're going to see next week are delayed.

And

it's very frustrating.

And then you compound that with being an administrator, I can't get the protective equipment I need for my clinicians.

So they're out there exposed.

They're exposing their families.

They're exposing themselves.

They're trying to take care of patients.

We're basically borrowing and stealing, not stealing, but begging

from people.

So

please give us stuff.

What do you need, Christy?

The masks.

Yeah, we need the masks.

We need the gowns.

We need hand sanitizer.

We had a drive.

I went on a couple of local stations this last weekend and just said, guys, if you're sitting at home, we're not.

If you have a stash of this stuff, will you please just drop some off?

Because right now I feel like a general that is sending my troops out.

with no guns and no equipment.

And that's terrifying to me.

There's families behind those people and if they start dropping like flies and who's going to take care of the sick so

um

we keep being told we're getting the equipment that we need that there's a stockpile but we haven't seen it so i don't know

we're starting to see the cases and i just don't know what's the what's the name of your hospital

I'm not with a hospital.

We're with a private independent agency

in Woise.

That was a multiple hospital system.

God bless you.

Thank you so much for what you're doing.

Thank you for calling in.

If you don't mind, Christy, I'd like to keep you on the line for a second.

If you could talk to one of our producers,

I'd just like to get some information from you.

We'll call you back.

Thank you so much.

Now, a guy who says, I had already said goodbye to my family.

I was dying.

And I got this old-timey medicine,

and

it worked.

He's on with us next.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, let me talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.

When cyber protections away, the criminals and cyber criminals will play, and they are playing now.

You're holed up in your home,

You're probably going to be inundated with fake products, phony stock deals, fake emails, texts, social media posts, all of this playing off your fears for the coronavirus.

The SEC recently issued an alert to warn of investment schemes that are pitching products or services that purport to help stop the outbreak.

Really isn't a level to which they won't stoop.

And on top of all of that, it's tax season.

So cyber criminals are out there.

Nobody can stop all of it.

But I'll tell you, the people that are really out there that are doing it and really have the best

image in the business and the best track record in the business is Life Lock.

Rio

Giardinelli and Neri, I can

edit this out station while we're live.

Rio Giardinelli is with us.

He is a guy who is a vice president of a company that makes cooking equipment for high-end restaurants in LA and around the the world.

And he was up in New York at a conference, and he contracted COVID-19.

His story is pretty amazing.

Diagnosed with pneumonia and coronavirus, he was admitted into the ICU, put on oxygen,

and he made no improvements after a week.

Doctors told him there wasn't anything else he can do.

He started to tell his family goodbye

until there was a friend that called and said there's a potential cure for coronavirus, and doctors gave it to him.

We welcome Rio on the phone with us now.

Hi, Rio.

How are you feeling?

Yeah, I'm feeling terrific.

So you're still in the hospital?

I am.

And you've been there for how long?

Just a little over a week now.

Okay.

So tell me when you started feeling this way, Rio.

What were the first signs?

Oh,

I was driving home and just felt really tired and washed out.

It had been three weeks of travel, so I wasn't surprised.

Went home, thought I was going to take a nap at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and wound up sleeping until about 3 o'clock in the morning.

When I woke up, I had a fever.

and a headache and

said, all right, well, I'm in bed for a couple days now, so I took my aspirin or Tylenol, and

it just continued for about five days.

I started developing a back pain and a cough, and knew something wasn't right, so made phone calls to hospitals and urgent carers and doctors.

And no one

everybody pretty much said you need to stay home and don't come here because we don't want to infect other people.

Wasn't able to get a test and found out that a hospital near me was providing the test.

So drove to the hospital and

was going to go in line underneath the tent to take my test, but I was sweating profusely and about passed out.

They grabbed me and took me in the ER.

And

I've been here since.

Things progressed and

got to the point where breathing was very tough and getting labored.

Speaking got very tough.

And on Friday, it just got to the point where, you know, in my mind's eye, I wasn't going to make it until Saturday morning.

I just was, I was tired of it as nine days of fever ranging from anywhere from 100 degrees to 102.

And

on that day, I just decided to call some friends and family and kind of say my goodbyes.

When I reached out to a friend in the Keys and spoke to him, he

didn't want to hear anything about it and

he started reaching out to a big group of friends of ours and everybody started chiming in and

a very good friend of mine texted me and said, hey, you need to try this medicine.

I'd never heard of it,

didn't know it existed, and was going to be a little bit more.

That's the hydroxychloroquine?

It is.

It is.

The hydroxychloroquine, yes.

And so your friend turned you on to it.

Go ahead.

He

He did.

And I mentioned it to the nurse who then mentioned it to the doctor.

The doctor came in and said it wasn't something he could prescribe, but put me in touch with the infectious disease doctor who listened to my story and authorized the use.

The nurse came in 30 minutes later, gave it to me.

And during that night, I had a couple of complications that were unrelated to the medicine, but more to do with the virus.

And when I woke up at exactly 4:45 in the morning, I woke up and realized I no longer had a fever.

My back pain had subsided, and I was feeling good.

I mean, I was feeling like I was ready to go out in the boat.

The doctors are saying that this isn't necessarily from the hydroxychloroquine,

but

I mean, what else would it be from?

Well, no,

they said that the complications I had the night before weren't the heart.

My heart was pounding out of my chest.

They said that that was probably more about the progression from the virus and maybe a little case of anxiety as I, you know, like I said, I thought I was facing the end of my life.

But they came in, they got me calmed down, gave me some

Benadryl and something else to help me go to sleep.

And when I woke up, I was

I mean, I know it sounds crazy, but I was feeling absolutely perfect to the point that I called the nurses in.

They came in

and all my vitals were back to normal.

I no longer had the fever that I had for the nine days previous, and

I haven't had a temperature ever since.

I feel great.

Only thing I had was a lingering headache, but that was a

small price to pay.

So we got this story from a reporter, Haley Winslow,

and

she's the one that hooked us up with you.

And she said, I'm just glad this story is getting out there.

Hopefully it can save millions of lives.

Haley,

I don't think understands either why this story is not everywhere.

Instead, the press is focusing on some people that drank some stuff or took some tablets that were for a, what was it, Stu, like a fishing pond or something like that?

Fishtank, Fish yeah.

It's what?

Fish tank.

They weren't even paying attention to what was being said.

And you can't take this without a doctor's supervision.

No,

were the doctors and the nurses there?

Because it's not the way we're getting your story.

We're not getting it from the hospital saying it was a miracle this stuff worked.

They're saying they're not sure.

No,

they're certainly being cautious about it.

You know, they don't, they say say there's no science behind it.

I'm not a scientist.

I'm not a doctor.

I can just tell you how I feel.

And I know that I was not doing well in my mind.

I didn't believe I was going to be here by the morning.

And when they gave it to me

at 4.45 when I woke up, if you don't have a fever and you don't have the science anymore, I don't know anything else to attribute it to, but that medicine.

You know, and it was told to me to ask, and it's not only me that it's worked for, there's many people this has worked for.

So,

you know, I certainly understand the hospital's position.

They may not be too happy with me telling my story,

but the facts are the facts.

I'm glad you are.

I'm glad you are.

Do you know, are they using it for any other patients there in the hospital that you are at?

From what I understand, yes, they are.

Okay.

And have you heard any results on that?

No, nothing at all.

Nothing at all.

Okay.

I was reading.

Go ahead.

No, no, they didn't.

They don't talk about the other patients too much.

It was just a general statement made by one of the nurses.

Okay.

So there is a South African swimmer, one gold medal for 100-meter breaststroke in 2012.

He's been training to go to

the Olympics this summer.

He just

contracted COVID-19.

He's had it for 14 days.

He said

he's in shape, and his lungs are obviously in shape.

And he said, it's the worst virus I've ever endured.

He said, I'm really healthy with strong lungs.

He said the symptoms were all severe.

He said it started as serious, serious fatigue.

Then he said, even any kind of walking just left me exhausted for hours.

He said, there's just nothing like this.

It's not the flu.

The guy we just had on right before you, Rio, he said it was just a bad flu.

Where are you on this?

Well, I can tell you that

I'm a businessman that sleeps maybe five hours a night and has done have done that my entire life.

And this had me sleeping 12 to 15 hours a day.

And

I never, never sleep that much.

So I can go with the fatigue and understand that 100%.

I think it hits everybody a little bit differently depending on who you are.

The headaches were just intense.

The fever was, you just, there was nothing you could do to break the fever.

The cough, now, I didn't get the sore throat that other people get.

You know, so I guess it's an individual thing, but I will tell you, this is nothing you want and nothing you want to play with because

it was totally debilitating to me.

Great.

I'm glad

I'm glad that you're doing so well, Rio.

And do you have any idea when you go home?

I'm really hoping today, but I haven't had an opportunity to speak to the doctor yet, and the nurses don't know.

So with any luck, I'll be out here this afternoon.

It's starting to feel like brown holiday.

There's nothing worse.

When you're feeling better and ready to go, there is nothing worse than being trapped in a hospital.

All right.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it

thank you very much yep god bless bye-bye

i don't know i think that sounds

really hopeful really promising i i yeah i would hope that we are you know people keep saying well there's no scientific i i'm hoping somebody's doing some scientific testing on it right now uh because that seems like a really good option this is an old drug it's made now for lupus

and people who have really, really bad arthritis and it's been in the market forever.

Its biggest side effect is it can cause retinal blindness, I think retinal something or other, and you can go blind from it.

However, that is not that's that's if you take it for a long period of time in higher doses.

The doses recommended for this are so low compared to anything you'd be taking for lupus lupus or

for arthritis.

It's about half of the dose that you would take.

And if that is what we have to do, Israel is shipping six million doses over to us now.

I'm guessing that maybe we should probably put some more effort into this because this makes it go away quickly.

If indeed this is true,

that's the cure.

It's not just

a

vaccine.

This looks like it's a cure.

Here's the press on this.

At least it gets rid of the symptoms, right?

Like

that's a little bit different than a cure, where a vaccine can make you maybe not get the disease at all or something that makes it go away immediately.

If it just alleviates the symptoms to half the extent that we've seen with some of the early cases,

you know, I mean,

I know it's exciting, but

we kind of hope that it comes through through because it would be a big difference.

I mean, it's really the only path to no real negative effects here, right?

Or at least very few.

Yeah.

I just, the reason why I'm saying we should accelerate some of these things if we can, I know the president is, but I don't know why the press isn't on this.

I think it's because he just mentioned it and he can't do anything right.

But I don't know what we're doing on this drug and why we're not more excited about this drug, at least at the potential of what this drug is doing.

And it's my understanding this played a very big role in South Korea

and they're using it now in New York.

I know that.

They're using it in Italy.

Why aren't we talking more about this drug and doubling down on the manufacturer of something that's been in use forever?

Forever.

This is a very old drug.

All right.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Glad you're here.

Stu, was watching, we were just talking about TV shows that

we're watching, and for some reason or another, the purge came up.

Been watching a couple of shows

as a family, Lock and Key.

Have you seen that yet?

Your kids are probably too young.

Lock and Key.

It is a series of books that is out.

Really, really, really well done.

Surprised.

I mean, you just can't find stuff anymore, you know, that you watch with a 14-year-old that doesn't have swearing in it.

But

it's really quite good.

Have you ever seen Dairy Girls?

No,

I've never heard of it.

Okay, so I think that's from the BBC again.

It's an Irish, it's a bunch of Irish girls.

It is,

I think this should be redone in America.

It's, you know, it's, it has the feel kind of

of, you know, a good

Gervais kind of show, but not as heart, not as much heart in it.

It's just these, these trashy girls, they're all in this Catholic school.

They're all, you know, losers

and

their trip through school.

I mean, it's a little foul mouth.

I don't know how the BBC does it.

I guess everybody else's standards are way different than ours,

but

it is laugh out loud, funny.

Laugh out loud, funny.

That's very cool.

Are you watching anything?

Well, I'm very excited.

Only three days away from the Ozark season three premiere, which is.

I haven't started that.

And you say that's really good?

It's so good.

It's very dark.

I don't know if you'd appreciate it or not.

It's really well done.

You'd like that part of it.

You know, it goes in that same sort of better call saw and breaking bads sort of arena, which is dark.

I haven't seen either of those.

Yeah.

So good.

Yeah.

So good.

Yeah.

All right.

Our Coronas update is

coming up next.

Also, just an update: Mike Bloomberg spent a billion of his own money on his failed presidential bid.

Oh, a billion.

Listening to Glenn Beck.

We're going to take your phone call this half hour.

I want to hear from you on

how you're feeling about the quarantine thing.

Dan Patrick, he's our lieutenant governor here in Texas.

He said yesterday that I would rather, he said, like, look, I'm 70,

you know, I've lived a good life, et cetera, et cetera.

I think what we're doing to our economy is going to destroy America.

I don't think there's going to be anything left.

And I would rather go out and work and keep this country open for my grandchildren, even if it meant my own life.

And he said, you know, that doesn't make me a hero.

That just makes me, you know, a grandpa.

I feel exactly the same way.

And I'd like to hear from you.

888-727-BECK, our coronavirus update is coming up.

Also, the Duck Commander joins us in about 30 minutes.

All this hour, it begins right now.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Can I ask you a question?

When you saw the biggest Dow crash since the recession and the biggest crash of all time,

how'd you feel?

Didn't make me feel real good.

You'd be crazy not to feel some real fear on that.

And, you know, that doesn't lead to anything good.

Now,

perhaps it's time to invest in gold.

Now, perhaps it's time to make sure that you have something in case this just keeps going.

I've been telling you now for almost 15 years that

we have to prepare for the difficult times in our lives, and there's some difficult times coming our way.

I want you to do your own homework because you're smart enough to figure this out.

You know, the problem is, is everybody thinks it's just them, or they think it's, no, it's stupid, and they listen to these experts.

And sometimes it's good.

I mean, it's always good to get an expert opinion, and sometimes it's good to listen to experts, and sometimes the experts are wrong.

Sometimes they just count on systems far too much.

I really believe that you are smart enough to figure this out

by yourself.

That's the American way.

Do your own homework, exhaust the homework, then quite honestly, take it to prayer and then say, I've made a decision.

What do you think?

So, do your own homework.

Is gold or silver right for you?

It is for me and my family.

And the only people I trust, Goldline, 1-866-GoldLine, 1-866-GoldLine.

Call them right now.

Get the information.

They're really good people.

They're not going to hard sell you on anything.

Just call them now.

It's 866Goldline or Goldline.com.

After the hundredth time scrolling through your feed today, maybe you need some new reading material to get you through the quarantine.

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, so let's get our coronavirus update.

All the numbers are from Johns Hopkins as of 5:30 a.m.

Central Time.

Total confirmed cases worldwide, 392,000.

That's up about 50,000 from yesterday.

Total confirmed deaths worldwide are up

3,000 to 17,000.

Total confirmed recovered is only up 3,000 itself.

All 195 countries on earth have confirmed cases.

The only place in the world you can go is hanging with the penguins in Antarctica.

No confirmed cases there.

5% of active cases worldwide are considered serious requiring hospitalization.

That's steady 5%.

Yesterday,

it was at 5%, but it was down.

in February from 19%.

I want to make a note here.

13% of the confirmed cases in America do currently require hospitalization, but that number is expected to drop toward the international average as more people are diagnosed through the testing.

The U.S.

now has 46,168 confirmed cases and 582 deaths.

We are up almost 10,000 confirmed cases and about 130 deaths in the last 24 hours.

The U.S.

has 295 officially recovered against the 582 official deaths.

So, somehow or another, Joe Biden realized yesterday that it wasn't 1997 anymore and decided to get some of that high-speed internet into my recreation room.

That's a quote.

In my recreation.

He still has a rec room?

I haven't seen one of those since the Brady bunch went off the air.

Anyway, he is making his teleconferencing in his rec room on this new high-speed internet that the kids are all crazy about.

So he made, he's going to make regular broadcasts combating coronavirus.

He made yesterday's from his home in Delaware, and it did not go well at all.

Do we have a little clip of that?

Here he is.

The teleprompter broke down and he did not know what to do.

I'm glad the president has finally activated the National Guard.

Now we need the armed forces and the National Guard to help with hospital capacity, supplies, and logistics.

We need to activate the Reserve Corps of doctors and nurses and beef up the number of responders dealing with

these crush of cases.

And

in addition to that, we have to make sure that we are in a position that we are

Well, let me go to the second thing.

I've spoken of enough.

The President must use the Defense production act.

Wow, okay.

So that was his press conference.

Comforting.

I wish he was in charge right now.

But he says, you know, now we've got to use the military.

Well, yesterday, a thousand-strong military unit arrived at the Javits Center in New York City.

Wow, yeah, but we need the military to start building hospitals.

Well, that's exactly what they were doing, turning the Javits

Convention Center into a thousand-bed emergency hospital.

It'll be the first of four emergency hospitals in New York State.

They They should be open within seven days.

Dozens of National Card troops have arrived at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan Monday morning.

President Trump approved Governor Cuomo's plans to set up the beds in the 1.3 million square foot convention center on Sunday night.

FEMA will oversee the facility as well as the staff and stock the center.

Is there no more free travel in the U.S.?

Florida's Governor DeSantis is ordering all inbound travelers arriving from New York or New Jersey into a mandatory 14-day quarantine per an executive order that he signed yesterday.

DeSantis said in an address that more than 100 such flights arrive daily into the state, he believes each contains at least one person infected with the new coronavirus.

He said he's been in contact with federal officials about curtailing such flights, but he has not yet received a response.

He said people will be screened when they arrived and told they must self-quarantine.

He said those travelers will not be allowed to stay with family or friends because that is the one way the virus is spread.

He didn't say specifically how self-quarantine is going to be enforced.

He said it may actually, I'm quoting, be a criminal offense if you violate the quarantine order.

Florida law says it's a second-degree misdemeanor to violate a quarantine order that could result in a 60-day jail sentence.

Notice he didn't have a problem when all of the kids were on the beaches for spring break.

That was an obscene scene at the time, and all the kids were like, oh, we're not going to get it.

It's fine.

They're all now testing positive for it.

New video from Spain shows the hospital triage.

People are on the floor in the hallways just waiting for a bed.

Videos appear to show dozens of patients, some covered in sheets, most wearing surgical masks, laying on the floor in hospital hallways as they await for some bed to somehow or another become available.

It's one of the largest hospitals in Madrid.

Spain had 385 deaths and more than 4,500 new cases diagnosed just yesterday.

It has more than 850 infected persons for every 1 million citizens.

That's the third highest in the world after Italy and Switzerland.

But perhaps echoing Spain's rapidly out-growing outbreak,

the big easy now is being criticized for not shutting down Mardi Gras celebrations and parades and parties over the warnings of local and national health officials against those large gatherings, which came as early as February 8th in the U.S.

Louisiana Governor John Bell Edwards says his state now has the fastest growing cases of COVID-19 in the world.

Citing statistics from a University of Louisiana Lafayette study, Edwards Edwards said the growth rate of the state is headed for a steep upward trajectory similar to what Spain and Italy have experienced.

He said Louisiana has the third highest number of cases per capita in the U.S., behind New York and Washington, respectively, but the rate of growth per capita exceeds any single hotspot in the world.

You know,

if it was going to break out, I mean, you would think Vegas or New Orleans, I mean, there's something in the water down in New Orleans.

Edwards announced a stay-at-home ban for his state that will come into effect on Monday at 5 p.m., excluding citizens leaving home for essential services.

There's no word on whether the state's 1,200 drive-through margarita stands are exempt from the order, but I think anything that limits alcohol at this time is not a good thing.

Nobel Prize winner, doom and gloom forecasts are likely overdone.

This one comes from Dr.

Michael Levitt, who is credited for correctly calling early that China would get the worst of its devastating outbreak long before many other health experts predicted they would.

On January 31st, China had 46 new deaths compared with 42 the day before, which Levitt recognized as a slowing of the rate of growth.

This suggests the rate of increase in the number of deaths will slow down even more over the next week.

Levitt won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Yeah, but they give those away like candy now.

And he ultimately nailed the call.

Listen to this.

I mean, you want a prediction that comes right

in mid-February.

He said there would be a mid-February peak with a total tally of

80,000 cases and 3,250 deaths.

As of March 16th,

China had counted a total of 80,298 deaths, so close without going over.

And he said there would be 3,250.

There are 3,245 deaths.

In a country of almost 1.4 billion.

Yeah, 80,000 was the total cases, right?

You said deaths.

It was 80,000 cases.

Total cases.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, sorry.

80,000 cases.

He said there would be 80,000.

They had 80,298.

And he said there'd be 3,250 on deaths.

There's 3,245.

I mean, that guy.

Can we talk to him?

I mean, I would like to.

Yeah, that's incredible.

Talk to him.

And he's optimistic, too, which is pretty rare these days from the experts.

Yeah, and maybe this is a guy we should listen to.

Maybe this is just a guy that we should listen to.

Now, we said we would never go for it here in America, but we are.

What was the thing that you thought was just so disturbing that they did Stew in China?

Well,

besides welding people in.

Yeah, welding people into apartments came to mind right away.

There was something they were doing that we all said we'd never put up with it.

The massive surveillance state that they constructed around pretty much everyone there to the point where they were, I mean, they were going, they were giving reporters QR codes to have to scan every building they were going into so that they could be tracked.

They were being tracked by drones, they were being

surveilled in every part of their internet access.

Not to mention the million people or so they threw in a camp, which is a totally unrelated incident, but also problematic.

So, the Chula Vista Police Department in California

recently doubled its fleet of drones, purchasing two of the machines from a Chinese company called DJI.

The police department told the Financial Times that they would be outfitted with night vision cameras.

We have not traditionally mounted speakers to our drones, but if we need to cover a large area to get an announcement out, and if there's a crowd somewhere that we need to disperse, we could do it without getting police officers involved.

The outbreak has changed my view of expanding the program.

I think we need to expand it as rapidly as I can, said the captain.

U.S.

officials have warned about the threat of Chinese-made drones, that they could pose a threat to the United States.

The company that the police department is purchasing from, DJI, is the world's largest player in the civilian drone industry.

But DJI is based in Canada.

Spencer Gore, the chief executive of the U.S.-based drone company, Impossible Aerospace, said he is working like crazy to help equip other law enforcement agencies with drones.

We just can't keep up with the orders from law enforcement agencies and health departments.

So, how do we feel about that one?

How are we feeling about drones and our police department using drones?

Sub-optimal would be the first thing that came to mind.

Not the optimal, sub-that optimal.

That is, I mean, I guess like you could make the argument in a case of, you know, where everyone's supposed to stay away from each other to break up a crowd.

If it floats over with a speaker, it's maybe not that bad.

I mean, I know they've done that in crowd breakup situations before, but it sends a pretty creepy message.

And

not in love with it.

Not in love with it.

Yeah, yeah.

Remember, Stu, we were at CNN

and we said that there were drones being used on the southern border or the northern border.

I can't remember which one it was.

I think it was on the northern border.

And they were being used for drug trade up on the northern border.

And people went ballistic.

They went crazy.

And it was on the border looking for drug people.

And we don't do that.

We don't do that.

We don't use drones.

I remember just shaking my head thinking, oh, we will.

And soon you won't have a problem with it.

And here we are.

Here we are.

This is going to change everything.

Tomorrow night, we're going to show you the things that are hidden from you, the plans that are being made, the plans that are being drawn, and the things, for instance,

So, Stu, I noticed something yesterday.

I've been watching the president at 5 o'clock and getting his updates.

And

I think he is,

I think if people watch those,

he's got a combination of his TV show,

The Apprentice, and the Fireside Chat.

He's bringing these people in.

He's not talking the whole time.

They're answering for him.

He's really, really good at saying, you know what, why don't you answer that one, Mike?

Why don't you, Bill, why don't you answer that one?

I was shocked.

The press asked him a question that was just a trap question, one that I thought for sure he was just going to answer because he likes the controversy.

He didn't.

Mike, why don't you answer that one?

He's really effective

in these

press conferences if you actually watch them.

Yeah, he's much more effective in that setting, I think, than an Oval Office speech, which is just not oh yes it's not the right vibe for him it's much better for him to be out there doing those things and i think he's done he's had a little bit of a back and forth with the press and the press has deserved a lot of it i mean they've been constantly focused on whether he's too race he's so racist for calling it the china virus totally nonsensical things no one gets better from covid 19 because of uh of that question being asked there's no hope of anyone uh having any improvement or the situation getting any better by asking questions like that, but they do it anyway.

It's really a fascinating thing.

And you look at

what they're doing now, which is trying to draw a line of separation between Trump and Fauci.

They're trying to say, well, Trump's not listening to him.

They're trying to antagonize that line and irritate it,

which if you believe what they say they believe about Trump would be the worst thing in the world you could do, right?

Like,

but they're just despicable.

That's the only thing they care about is taking Trump out, whether this virus seems to hit anybody or not.

Let me give you this.

Trump has an approval rating of 50%.

The press has 44%.

And the Congress has a 42%.

He's the most popular.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

All right, I want you to look into a customized loan today from American Financing.

This is the best thing you can do with your time.

This is the best phone call you can make.

The interest rates right now are so low.

I mean,

the only way they get lower is if they go into negative interest rates, and I don't know how that works.

I mean, that's just insane.

But now you have a chance to get the lowest interest rate in my lifetime.

What I highly recommend is you refinance.

If you have any high interest debt, please just fold that into this debt so

you don't have to worry about it.

You don't have to elongate your debt.

You could fold that into your mortgage.

And because of the

lower interest rate, you are going to save so much money.

Please be responsible.

Go to American Financing right now.

Call them.

They're waiting for your call at 800-906-2440.

Just tell them your situation.

Let's see what they can do for you right now.

Just a couple weeks away from the brand new book, Glenn Beck's Arguing with Socialists.

It's available on Amazon and Glennbeck.com now.

Pre-order.

Let's go to Phil Robertson.

He is the Blaze TV host of Unashamed and In the Woods with Phil.

The duck commander joins us from his home in West Monroe, Louisiana.

How you doing, Phil?

Well, I'm doing well.

I've been under self-quarantine for about the last 35, 40 years, so this is nothing new to me.

Right.

I know that.

I know that.

How's Miss K?

Miss Kay's doing fine.

She's doing the cooking.

We're eating well.

It is myself,

the eunuch, Dan the Eunuch, Miss Kay, me, and the eunuch.

We're down here holed up under lock and key.

Plenty of weapons around in case people want to come in there and rob us or kill us.

But

the current panel.

But nothing has really...

Phil, nothing has changed in your life, has it?

Nothing.

Nothing has changed.

Absolutely, nothing has changed.

And you are actually probably further than what the president has recommended.

That is correct.

I'm way out here by design, design, by the way.

You say, did you pick this place to get back?

One little pig trail.

I'm surrounded by water because the floods come, the droughts come, the fires come, the pestilence comes, the plagues come.

I know they're coming.

Listen to this.

Why do the nations re...

This was written 3,500 years ago.

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his anointed one.

Let us break their chains.

The one enthroned in heaven, this is God, scoffs at them.

He laughs at them.

Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them.

That's why everybody's running scared, Beck.

He terrifies them in his wrath.

Therefore, you kings, be wise.

Be warned, you rulers of the earth.

Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son,

lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment.

Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

All you're seeing is the judgment of God on the wicked.

You saw it seven, eight years ago, then ten years before then.

Just count them up in this century, Beck.

Look through the world.

All throughout the Old Testament, God used,

he used

pandemics, pestilence,

plagues over and over and over to judge the human race.

But we're slow to learn.

We elect known Marxists, and we got them in the now they're in our government.

Bernie Sanders, he's got thousands of followers, and they run them through the education meal, and they come out being

ungodly to the core of their being.

Bernie's leading the pack, and you say, God's not sleeping.

He punished us for stuff like that, Beck.

And

some people find it surprising that you're alone.

Yeah.

And look, and some people.

I mean, you're not helping my mood here at all, Phil.

You're not helping my mood.

Yeah, they will curse me and say, and curse me.

What in the world?

Some guy down there is saying a pandemic of God could have done it.

You know, God wouldn't do that to us.

There's no God.

Well, if there's no God,

here comes a pandemic and everybody's scared to death because I've been listening to them.

I'm sitting down here

eating Miss Kay's cooking and enjoying the good sunrise.

taking a boat ride up the river.

I haven't seen a single soul down in here.

Not one.

I have no visitors.

I'm just down in here and I'm looking and I'm thinking,

I think maybe God is saying, can you see me yet?

Yeah.

And he'll give them another decade and he'll put another fire on them, another storm, another flood, another pandemic.

And he's saying, you better listen to what I am telling you.

I've given you

removed your sins by sending my son.

It's 2020 back,

which that tells you a little connotation of we ought to be seeing clearly so 2020 God says let's see let's see how they're seeing me and he unleashes the pandemic on me on us and he says can you see me yet

it's 2020

go backwards and you get back to one that's when Jesus showed up there's a resurrection of the dead I'm in on it So I'm looking at it, and along with God, I'm laughing at them and saying, you folks, why don't you just repent?

And they just snarl at you when you say repent and live with God.

They snarl, the hatred, vitriol coming out of them.

It's a sad thing to watch.

So, Phil,

I will say this.

I thought it was great that we kind of started last weekend with a National Day of Prayer.

I do think that this is waking some people up.

Those with eyes and ears are hearing and they are waking up.

I do too.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say to the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress.

You will not fear terror.

nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your right side, ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes to see the punishment of the wicked.

Everybody needs to read this listening, Psalms 91.

Psalms 90 says, The length of our days is 70 years, or 80, if we have the strength, yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass and we all fly away.

So we understand what physical death is.

We understand pandemics and floods and drought and pestilence and all the diseases.

You say, one way out, Beck, if there's no resurrection of the dead is what Jesus showed us 2,020 years ago when he appeared.

He's shown us the way by being resurrected from the dead.

Now look, all the atheists and everybody else, I'm waiting on a better solution and a better story.

So far, I have not heard it.

Have you?

No.

I do want to ask you, though,

a couple of questions.

I don't know if this is true,

but I've heard, because you're doing the new, you know,

in the quarantine

with you, and it airs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I think, 5 5 p.m.

And

I do want to ask you, is it true that

you said you didn't need toilet paper?

You got to remember.

I mean, I hate to go.

Yeah, go ahead.

I'm going through the flooded, all this flooded timber,

and everybody, it just occurred to me, everybody's fighting over toilet paper.

They can't get enough of it.

They're getting it been bulked, loads, loading their car down.

I just happened to pull up under a big old overcup tree that had blown down in a storm, and the leaves were just hanging there.

And I thought, everybody's running out of toilet paper but me.

I just reached and grabbed one of the limbs and broke it off.

Okay, so, yeah, all right.

So here's,

I mean,

that's what most of us are just like, I don't, I mean,

I hope the coronavirus takes me.

If we get down to that, I kind of hope that takes me.

what I'm saying is everybody needs to chill out there is a God in heaven he will see us through this you're not going to make it out of here unless you put your faith in Jesus you should do that the reason why is in the midst of all these pandemics and all the other things that befall the human race look

love

joy

I'm showing them through this series Phil in the woods down here during the pandemic.

Love,

joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

I'm just showing them, look, it's a wonderful way to survive anything.

And you're not running scared, and they can say all they want to, we're not afraid.

Beck,

they are scared to death.

And I feel sorry for them, and I'm trying to point to them, point them to Jesus, saying, look, peace of mind, man, peace, peace of mind, the the rarest of commodities is yours.

If you will just repent, turn to him by faith.

I mean, give me a break.

How hard could it be?

Love God and love your neighbor.

Be ready for any kind of pandemic or whatever comes.

They come.

They come and they go.

They come and they go.

God will protect you.

But you have to be on his side and honor him and bow down to him.

It's a puzzle.

So I spend all my

time trying to convince people, why don't you just try Jesus?

It'll work.

So well, Phil,

it is always a pleasure to talk to somebody who just doesn't give a flying crap.

And you just

say what you mean.

New episode of Phil's in the quarantine series dropped Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 5 p.m.

at blazetv.com/slash Phil.

That's blazetv.com slash Phil.

Thanks a lot, Phil.

Talk to you again.

I love you, man.

Love you too, bud.

Stay out of Misque for me.

I would have loved

to have gotten him and Don Imos together.

Because I think those two, don't they sound alike?

I mean,

they're not saying the same things, but they just, neither one of them gave a flying crap about what anybody thought that would have been an interesting conversation i have no idea what would have happened at the end of it

it would have been fun though right oh yeah it would have been fun just to watch i miss my friend don

all right uh

if if you've been working from home lately um especially if you're doing all kinds of business, you need to make sure you have

a very secure connection.

Your connection, even if it's password protected, is probably not real secure.

Cyber criminals are out there and they are determined to get into the system and steal your information.

And I can't tell you enough, if you are running a company,

this is a dream for them.

This is why you need Norton 360 in your life.

It's affordable.

It is simple.

It's an easy-to-use solution to the problem of cyber criminals stealing information from your devices.

You're going to get a VPN to help you block hackers from stealing personal information and companies tracking your online online activities.

It has bank grade encryption.

We're talking about real-life security for your devices, a safe cam to block people from being able to take over your webcam.

If you want the ultimate in privacy, get Norton 360 today.

It is a toolbox and you load it with whatever tools you want.

And I'm telling you right now, four weeks ago I was in Washington, three weeks ago I was in Washington, and I upgraded to the highest level because

it's serious.

What's happening right now in the world, you need to make sure that you are protected.

Protect yourself like I have with my family.

It's norton.com/slash Beck, Norton.com/slash Beck.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Okay,

let's take Sarah.

Hi, Sarah.

Thank you so much for listening and holding.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hi, Glenn.

Thanks so much for taking my call.

Sure.

I just wanted to share with you a little bit.

I have systemic lupus erythematosus.

So I actually take hydroxychloroquine every day.

My rheumatologist calls it my lupus life insurance policy.

Yeah.

It's supposedly fantastic for for lupus and and things like that

It really is.

I mean, I've had no side effects with it

I mean it's

I really don't feel

unless I go off of it

it really does help kind of curb my symptoms and prevent any kind of like organ involvement and stuff like that.

So I'm really excited about the possibilities of this drug.

Oh, yeah.

I'm a little

cautious about

some of the strain that I know is happening on the production of it

so that all of the other luthus people can make sure that they maintain their medicines as well.

Sure.

Sure.

Well, I'm assuming I know that Israel is one of the makers of this drug, and they are shipping 6 million pills by, I think, this weekend to the United States.

And so the production line is being upped on it.

But

we should have a stockpile because everyone who goes down south in South America or goes overseas, they all get this because it's a malaria drug.

So every soldier gets this.

The United States government, the military, should have an awful lot of this drug laying around themselves as well.

Sarah, thank you so much for the perspective, and I hope you feel better.

I'm glad that drug's working for you.

Randall, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hi, Glenn.

Hey,

can you hear me?

Hi.

Hey, I'm going to go to the next store.

I can, go ahead.

I've been listening to you since you had

the episode with the pitchforks on CNN headline news.

And I was hoping to be able to do that.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.

So, you know,

that's been a long time.

Yeah, I'm in New Jersey.

I'm a contractor.

I do home improvement.

And I have been so frustrated by what's been going on.

I Googled, why is there no line item veto anymore?

What the the hell's going on?

Why can't we just push back with these idiots in Congress and just give Trump?

He has the most common sense of any president in my lifetime.

He pushes back.

He's always saying or thinking what I'm thinking.

And I'm like, damn it, he's right.

And then

when he's in these conferences, I'm watching and he is saying so many logical things that just really have common sense, just like this drug you were just talking about.

And he's always getting assailed by these leftists.

And it's so frustrating for me to watch.

And I was wondering why yesterday in the conference, instead of just being so generic and saying, well, if they put some stuff, just say this new Green Deal crap they're putting in there.

I'm not going to go for it.

We aren't going to help the people.

And just say it there.

And then what happens is on the other channels, they're saying he's lying.

I mean, like Rachel Maddow yesterday on her show was saying the president is just out and out lying.

And then they call us conspiracy theorists.

It's so frustrating to see this.

I know.

I mean,

Randall.

Randall, I am with you.

I think America feels the same way.

Just know this.

He has the highest approval rating.

He's first those underneath him, the press, and then Congress.

So they talk about how underwater he is with approval ratings.

He's the best of the lot, according to the latest poll.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
