The Chinese Virus … from CHINA | Guest: Bill O’Reilly | 3/20/20

This is the Glenbeck program.

It's Friday, and

it's a good Friday, too.

It's a good Friday.

Granted, I have a lot of fun today.

You don't want to miss a second of today's show.

May I just say...

Where's my dog?

There's my dog.

Hey, Uno.

How you doing, buddy?

I could tease him and say, want to eat?

You want to have something to eat?

How you doing, buddy?

Uno is a different dog because

of of rough greens.

He's just more alert, more active, constantly playing.

And he wasn't like this.

And he would never eat.

But we add rough greens now to his food, which is probiotics, enzymes, vitamins, all this stuff that your dog needs.

My vet looked at it and said, oh my gosh, this is great stuff.

Try it for yourself.

Do a 14-day jumpstart challenge today for $14.95.

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

It's roughgreens.com slash Beck.

That's R-U-F-F Greens.com slash Beck.

If I could get my kids off the couch by feeding them for Rough Greens, I would feed it to them as well.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Hello, America.

It's Friday, and what a Friday it's going to be.

I don't want you to miss a second of today's show.

It's going to be an awful lot of fun, a little lot of news involved, but I was sick and I'm really sick and tired of a couple of things that are going on.

First, I'm really sick and tired of the president getting skewered on his performance.

I decided, you know, let's take a look at the actual numbers.

Let's compare what's happening here to the rest of the world and

see if maybe there's a difference.

Is there any kind of difference that's happening here?

And if so, why?

We begin there in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right, so you're stocking up on food.

Now, you could stock up on, you know, whatever, or you could stock up on Omaha steaks.

And I know you're thinking, I don't have the money for Omaha Steaks.

Boy, you do.

Listen to this.

Right now they have a special going on at Omahasteaks.com.

You can order two butcher-cut filet mignons, they're really good, two top sirloins, four premium pork chops, four Omaha steak burgers, four gourmet jumbo francs, four potatoes of gratin, the cap, the caramel apple tartlets, Omaha steak signature seasoning package, blah blah blah.

And if you use the promo code Beck, you'll get four additional steak burgers plus free franch, more free francs.

Now, this is normally, what is it, $180 some dollars, something like that.

You're going to get it for $59.99.

$59.99.

You're not going to get that kind of amount of meat at the store for $59.99.

Omaha Steaks, they are so good.

Get this right now.

Look for the Ultimate Grillers package.

What you have to do is go into the search bar.

You just type in my name back.

Click on it and it will take you right to the Ultimate Grillers package where you will save 68% on just the best meat from the best butcher in America, America's first butcher.

It's Omaha Steaks.

OmahaSteaks.com

All right.

All right.

It's Friday, so I asked Pat to join us a little early because I've just got a few things that

Pat, I can't take it anymore.

I just, I can't take it anymore.

I can't take,

I can't, I can't, I just can't.

I watch the news and it's like not, do these people have lives at all?

Do they, I mean, I don't get it.

What's happening?

I mean, you could be talking about so many different things.

What specifically are you referring to?

Is it the China virus thing?

Well, I think they have a point on the China virus thing.

Oh, you do?

I do.

I do.

I think that's really, I mean, well, I didn't when he was just calling it the China virus because he hadn't been calling it the China virus.

He's only calling it the China virus because he knows it pisses them off.

That's why, right?

And I think because China's trying to blame us for it, and he resents that a lot.

Correct.

And so do I.

Correct.

So do I.

Yes, so do I.

This is China propaganda.

However, I mean, I thought yesterday, did you see the press conference yesterday when he walked out?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, usually the president will have bum bum ba bum bum ba when he walks out.

And I did think it was a little over the top when he walked out to

he walked out to this music.

Do we have that from the press conference?

I thought

China.

I thought

this was.

You know, to have the Marine band play this as he walks out, I thought

he's just trolling the media at this point.

You know, that's all he's.

All right, stop.

That's so offensive.

It's way over the top.

That was way over the top.

It's way over the top for him to do.

And

then when he went out,

it is Chinese, if you please.

I thought that's beneath the president.

It's just beneath the president to do.

Well, he's a businessman.

So

I think that that makes it okay.

He's a businessman.

Well, no, the Asian lobby is pretty powerful.

I mean, they'll go after his businesses.

Yeah.

And I thought, boy, he doesn't care.

He just doesn't care.

to have that played behind him when he walked out.

So I was for him, you know, because I thought he was making a point.

And then when he did that, I was like, that's just racist.

You know what I mean?

It does seem a little over the top.

Yeah.

I mean, I get the point that he's making because he really, for weeks, was calling it like the coronavirus.

And then

until they started complaining about it, then he's now crossing it off on his speeches and writing in the word Chinese.

Seriously, I have no problem calling it the

COVID-19, blah, blah, blah.

But this is crazy.

This is Chinese propaganda.

This is what they're trying to do.

And our press is picking right up on it.

So it's not anti-China.

I don't have a problem with Chinese people,

with people who are Asian.

I have no problem with that.

No problem.

What's really, really disturbing is how we are being forced to change this when MERS is Middle Eastern

respiratory.

Okay.

That's what MERS is.

The swine flu.

How do you think pigs feel about that?

The Spanish flu.

We've always done this.

Always done this.

West Nile virus.

That's how you identify these things.

This is Chinese propaganda and our president is just standing up against the press because the press is doing the job of the Chinese Communist Party.

It's craziness.

It's craziness.

So I, for one, I mean, I really kind of want, I want to go overboard and make a real, I mean,

did you hear what he walked out on yesterday?

It was...

It was real.

I thought this was just.

Jina.

I thought, especially, they didn't even have the right instruments.

They were playing it on kettles and the back of White House pots, and I thought, this is too far.

But stop.

But I,

I mean, part of me just wants to just rub it in their face.

Because I'm so sick of it, man.

I am so sick of it.

It has nothing to do with race, has nothing to do with China, has everything to do with communist disinformation.

Yeah, and it would be one thing, too, if the the media was approaching it like this: hey, when this all started, we were all calling it Wuhan flu or Wuhan virus.

That was the name we all had.

But now, you know, look, they've given it an official name, and we think it's the appropriate thing to call it.

Like, I would still say we need to make sure we point out what the Chinese government has done because it's a really crucial part of the story.

However, like, it would at least be an understandable line of thinking.

Instead, what they're saying is completely denying that they ever said it and not even acknowledging it right and then just coming out and saying it's automatically and obviously racist for anyone to use it at any time and denying all the reality of naming every other yeah bad disease we've had from german measles on i

i have to tell you this is not about racism at all this is about reality

This is all about reality.

First of all, what kind of sweet ass world do you live in where this is your biggest problem?

I mean, the media think of their life.

This is what they're talking about.

There's a report out today.

Let me look it up.

There's a report out today that says some incredible, incredible number here.

Let me look.

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

Okay, Bank of America says recession is already here.

There's a story, I don't know where it is right now,

that a large percentage of our small businesses will be out of business in 45 days.

And we're arguing about that?

Seriously?

This is your biggest problem?

It just shows the media is so far out of touch.

I'm telling you,

this is the beginning of the end for them.

They've already discredited themselves so much, but all of these politicians did.

Well, except for Elizabeth Warren,

she did something very brave.

I don't know if you guys know this, but she was very, very brave.

Do we, in fact, do we have the profiles of Courage Music?

Could we please...

Because this was.

You know, sometimes I think of Elizabeth Warren and I think to myself, it is.

It is.

It's about damn time that we have...

a Native American who steps to the plate and leads the way.

I mean, this was her people's home long before we came.

Yesterday,

Elizabeth Warren,

she did something that not a lot of people are willing to do.

She did something that, oh yeah, you can mock it, you can make fun of it all you want.

You could stand around and not say anything about it, but this proud Native American that sometimes is caught off the side of the highway with just a tear rolling down her cheek, looking at the litter.

What has happened?

What has happened to my country?

And dare I say it, not only what, but how?

Yes, this proud Native American who's never used

another race to further herself or her career.

No, no.

No

Yesterday she said enough enough.

So she took to Twitter after Trump was on that Twitter machine explaining why he signed the Defense Protection Act, which should increase the production of medical equipment needed to combat the outbreak.

But, oh, no, she didn't concentrate on that.

No, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ventilators, breathing machines, whatever.

Can we talk about the real problem?

Because when he took to Twitter, he said, I only signed the Defense Protection Act to combat the Chinese virus.

And we should invoke it in the worst case scenario in the future.

Hopefully, there will be no need.

But we're all in this together.

No, that's when this proud Native American, first American, if I may, stood up or sat down.

Whatever.

She got on Twitter.

She said, President Trump, are your eyes stitched shut?

Hospitals need test kits, ventilators, and other medical supplies.

That's why the DPA exists.

Stop dragging your feet and burying your head and start helping hospitals that are about to be slammed by this pandemic.

But

she blurred out the word Chinese.

Yes, that's what she did.

She blurred the word Chinese out of her, quote, tweet of Trump.

When someone like Elizabeth Warren stands against all odds,

the face of the crashing waters,

She stands there, there on the point, there at the peak, looking down at all of us.

Says, I'm not afraid.

I'm going to blur the word Chinese.

And she puts it all into perspective.

It's not about some virus.

It's not about some ventilators.

It's really about

racism.

And I think it's...

I think it's high time, America, that we all look deep inside of ourselves.

Yeah, that white part of you.

And say,

what can we learn from this proud Native American, Elizabeth Warren?

I think we can learn an awful lot.

What can we do?

What can we not do because of Elizabeth Warren?

I, for one,

I'm gonna blur.

I'm gonna blur every...

Every time I see the word Chinese, I'm gonna blur it.

Blur it in my mind, spray paint it out.

I'm not having Chinese food.

I'm not going to a Chinese restaurant.

I'm just going to a plain old restaurant when they reopen.

I'm just going to eat plain old food.

Yeah.

Chinese food?

No, I'm having American food.

That's what I'm having.

Yeah, sure.

It might have a side of bat soup.

But that's a good old American recipe

Unless it becomes offensive to say that, then, of course, it's back to Chinese food.

Not sure how we're going to play this game all the way out, but that's who she is.

Elizabeth Warren.

10 Seconds Station ID.

Sarah, let this play out, please.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We had Billy Eyelash do that for us, and we're super, super excited about it.

Welcome to the

program.

Glad you're here.

So may I go to something else that

is really bothering me?

They're saying that

Donald Trump is doing nothing and

that we're so horrible, that we're so far behind.

Could we just look at the numbers?

And Stu, you're a numbers guy.

So

I want you to help me out on this and tell me where I have this wrong.

But we're a pretty big country, okay?

We're an open country.

We're one of the most trafficked countries in the world.

we should have been hit harder than anybody else right

now I just like to look at the numbers and see if the numbers show us that Trump helped or hurt and check my math but this is on the back of the mat the napkin okay try this out

one and out of every 1474 people in Italy are confirmed to be a case of coronavirus.

In Switzerland, it's one out of every 2,058 people.

Iran, one in every 4,409.

Germany, one in every 5,404.

France,

almost 7,690 6,961.

Netherlands, it's about the same, one in every 6,961.

In China, the rate is one in 17,000.

Now, part of that is because of the totalitarian state, it locked down the villages and welded, literally welded people into their homes.

And they have 1.38 billion people.

It's a very big area.

So what should the rate in the United States be?

If this is spreading everywhere else, what should it be?

It has to be as bad as Switzerland or Germany, right?

Because the media says Trump just screwed everything up, and everything here is worse than any other country, and he's worse than any other politician.

So it has to be one in a thousand, right?

The rate of infection in the United States is now one in 22,961.

Let me give you that again.

In Italy, it's one in every 1,400.

Switzerland, one in every 2,000.

Iran, one in every 4,000.

You know how bad it is in Iran?

Netherlands, one in every 6,000.

China, one in every 17,000.

Our rate of infection is one in 22,961.

How is it that the most open country, the one where everybody is flying into, one everybody's trying to get to, how is it that he screwed things up so badly that we have the best

in the modern world?

How's that puzzle?

How's that puzzle?

I mean, I think the argument there would be that we haven't been testing.

We definitely have a lot more cases than that, and our percentage is a lot higher, but we are just now ramping up testing.

And you're seeing, you know, obviously our numbers are going up very quickly because of that.

I mean, you can look at

a country like Somalia, who has a 0.06%

COVID-19 infection rate.

I don't think that's realistic.

I think it's a lot higher than that.

My guess is the Somalian testing process probably not all that robust.

So, but isn't this, but isn't this, shouldn't we be much worse leading in deaths and everything else?

Because we are on the open

coast.

Yeah.

And we're open.

It's an open society.

We can't, although we are.

We can't do the same kind of things that China does.

But we're trying.

We're trying to do the same things China's doing.

I think we've blatantly not necessarily getting closer and closer to that.

Ask Pennsylvania and California.

And that's not Trump doing that.

Those are local and state municipalities.

This is also.

Do you notice they all want Trump to do it?

They're all saying, you know, Donald Trump.

They all want him to do it so they can blame it on him.

Sorry, guys.

that's not the role of the United States government.

If it's an infectious disease, it's a state thing.

You have to do it.

Yeah, you know, but I think the reason, one of the reasons why that first stat is,

it's not exactly accurate, as we point out with the testing, but the reason why we're doing better than Italy, which I think everyone would acknowledge, is because we have.

And it's largely been the American people who have agreed with it, by the way.

You haven't needed to put hardcore penalties in there.

People are just looking at this and saying, okay, this is a serious issue.

We're going to make sure that we do this.

I mean, think about this.

It was a week and a half ago where the NBA pulls the plug on its season.

Was there a government entity that told the NBA to pull its plug on a season?

Did anyone tell the Boston Marathon to cancel?

Did anyone tell South by Southwest to cancel?

These people all did it because they thought there was a real threat and did it on their own.

That's totally different than what China would do.

And since we actually have taken steps, we are doing better than Italy and France and Germany.

I'm surprised that here we are at Friday and this is not as bad as I thought it was going to be a week ago.

Really?

And I think we're doing a great job.

Yeah, I think we're doing a great job.

By the way, also the Jedivirus, we have some new poll numbers on Trump.

That's coming up in just a second.

Stand by.

Oh, and it is the Glenn Beck program.

I want to talk to you a little bit about my pillow.

Welcome to it.

We're glad you're here.

Pat Gray joins us today from Pat Gray Unleashed.

And of course, we have Stu Bergeer from

Stu Does America, which is a really disturbing porn show, I think, that we're running on Blaze TV.

Wow.

Definitely a porn show, but not a porn show.

It's not.

No, it's enlightening.

It's an inspirational porn show.

Okay.

Okay.

Can I tell you something about a porn show that is not a porn show, but I think is a porn show?

It's called The Outlander.

Have you guys seen Outlander?

I have not.

I've been tempted to watch it many times, but I think it's TVMA, so I've not.

Yeah, so Pat, you need to watch it with

Digital Angel.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not their

vid Angel, right?

Yeah.

VidAngel.

Yeah.

Vidangel.

So

my wife is disturbingly attached to this.

Oh, really?

Oh,

and I've talked to

several men who have watched it with their wives, and one of them,

in fact, my

assistant, who is Scottish,

his wife said that she wanted him to grow his hair out like the main character, and

also wanted to name their son Jamie after after the main character.

And it is,

it's

chickborn.

That's all this thing is.

It's just chickborn.

And it's sad because it's a really good story, but my wife, like, she would have never watched,

you know, nor allowed anyone to watch in the house

Game of Thrones.

But this one, this one seems to be fine with her.

Just is like, what?

What?

Okay, yes, he's got his shirt and his pants off and off a lot, but what?

It's incredible.

It's incredible.

I feel now like she must feel at most movies and things where they're taking their shirt off.

The women are always scantily clad and they're just pieces of meat.

And guys are like, what?

There's nothing wrong with this.

And

this one, guys, you'll understand that.

You'll understand that.

All right.

So,

Pat, what's on your plate today?

I'm excited about the fact that people are calling 911 to report neighbors who are coughing.

I think we should have been doing this a long time ago.

We got to call SWAT teams, call the A-team in because your neighbor

coughed.

I haven't heard this story.

Then we have Oklahoma City.

Well, this is happening in California, where people are calling in San Bernardino County.

They have had, they got the 15th case of somebody calling 911 to report somebody coughing next door to it.

Do you find that?

Do you find that?

I mean,

it's California.

I know.

Yes.

Hello, 911.

What's your emergency?

But then on the other side of this, we've also got Oklahoma City

who is telling people to call 911 on residents if their businesses are open.

If there's a business open, you're supposed to call 911 and report that to them.

Is this amazing?

Is this american?

I don't like that.

I don't like that at all.

These mandated shutdowns, it would have been nice if they would have suggested to these businesses and properties and owners, hey, it might be a good idea if you've shut down your business for a while.

They can even be more forceful than that and say, please, we're begging you.

Yeah, we're begging you to shut down your business.

How do you get around the First Amendment?

I don't know.

The right to assemble?

I don't know.

Yes.

I don't know how you get around that.

You can't get around it, and yet we have already without any sort of resistance whatsoever.

And that's what's bothering me right now.

I'm just a little worried about Americans' compliance with things that are, to me, unconstitutional.

I don't understand how this is happening.

And there's no, no, wait a minute.

I'm not going to do that.

Instead, what we're doing is we're saying, well, it's for the public safety.

I have to do that.

And in Texas.

Yeah, in Texas.

Texas.

I mean, in Texas, it is happening.

Look, we all want to be.

See, this is where it gets us.

I'm convinced.

Where are the giant servers

for the NSA?

For all of the spying that goes on in America on American citizens, where are those servers?

Utah.

They're in Utah.

And they're right at the point of the mountain, right as you leave like Provo, which is the most pro-American and docile and religious community community, probably in America.

It's right there.

And I am absolutely convinced that it's there because they knew that's a docile, pro-American kind of thing.

There's not going to be, it's not like putting it in California where people are going to go, I hate the country.

These people, they put it there.

They say, this is the NSA, I love this.

They say that they put it there because of the vast source of water to be able to

desert, which is interesting.

It's in a a

desert.

It's a desert.

Literally a desert.

And they say, this is the reason why we built it here is because the vast quantities of water to keep these

computers cool.

There's 10 inches.

There's water there.

It's a desert.

Under 10 inches of rain a year.

Yeah, there's vast quantities of water.

You want vast quantities of water, build it in Seattle, man.

They did it because the people are compliant.

I'm convinced of that.

This is the problem.

We all want to be good Americans.

We all want to do the right thing.

But I don't necessarily trust our government enough anymore.

I don't trust the Fed with what they're doing.

There's something wrong with all of these bailouts and the way this is moving so quickly.

They're now talking about $5 trillion

in debt.

Five additional trillion dollars to get us through this.

And nobody seems to be complaining about it.

Everybody seems to complain.

In addition to what we've done already?

$5 trillion more.

So you're ready for this?

We have a debt to GDP ratio of, what is it?

Is it 5% now?

I can't remember.

They're talking about doubling whatever that is, that GDP to debt ratio, whatever it is, it will double by the time we're done with this thing.

That's not good.

That's not good.

And every time we say, hey, businesses, you got to stay closed,

you know, it's small businesses that keep us alive.

I mean, there is something to be said for a balance here.

Right.

And if you are a business and you want to stay open, you have every right to stay open.

And maybe nobody comes in.

Maybe nobody does anything.

But if you have an essential thing, for instance,

Muyaz.

Wouldn't you agree that Muyaz is an essential business?

The burger place?

Yes.

The burgers and shakes they have there?

Yes, right?

That is essential.

The best burgers and fries and shakes.

Moo Yaz.

I love it.

There's a Muyaz right down the street from ours.

And we tried to get takeout last night because I don't want to burn through all my emergency supplies.

And I'm also not thrilled about eating peanut butter and tuna fish and macaroni and cheese until you actually absolutely have to.

So you can get food, and as long as you, you know, take the bag in with plastic gloves and everything else and get rid of that right away, and then Clorox everything, and then reheat the food, there's no chance of anything wrong.

Excuse me, I'm at home, so my dog and my phone, and my dog.

So hang on just a second.

Please stop calling me.

My dog and my phone.

And the dog.

My dog and my phone.

I love

it.

So you can hear him.

Somebody is coming to the door for some reason.

I I don't know who could possibly be coming.

Who is outside?

You should be in your home.

We're quarantined.

Oh, my gosh.

So anyway,

you know, so we,

there's nobody that will come pick it up, but

they were picking up.

So all of the drivers and stuff, for some reason, they wouldn't pick it up and take it to my house.

So we went out.

My wife went out and she said, this place is a ghost town.

She said, and I watched them prepare the food and the guy had a mask on and changed his gloves every time he touched something.

He just changed his gloves.

Wow.

Now, if they want to stay open, let them stay open.

Yeah.

What is the

otherwise?

We're not going to have any of these places because none of these places are going to be bailed out.

No.

No.

And I don't think they won't make it.

I don't think there's any case in America as of this point where restaurants like that are closed to takeout food.

Takeout and delivery, I believe, are the encouraged way at this point for you to be doing it.

Right.

But again,

are they going to make enough money to stay in business?

That's a whole nother thing.

I went to one of my favorite places just to see if it was open yesterday.

I was on the way home, and I've had breakfast and lunch there many times and stopped there and went in because I thought, wow, it says it's open.

So I went in.

There's not a soul in the place, of course, because you can't go in and eat.

And they were just open for takeout.

And I said, I bet this has cut down on business a little bit.

She was like,

almost entirely.

So like there's a few people who come in a day and take out.

You're not going to be able to stay in business like that.

We eat at this place called Dove Creek and it's right down.

It's just a local little, you know, owned by a family kind of thing.

We eat there all the time,

not fancy, just, you know, just normal stuff.

And

I don't know how they're going to stay in business.

They won't.

No, they won't stay in business.

All of these places are going to go under.

The question here, though, is order of events, right?

As we've talked about, I think there's going to be a real problem that we're going to have to fight hard about the government taking these rights right now and trying to hold on to them.

I think there will be a lot of legal challenges that come out of this

from all sorts of constitutionally focused legal outfits.

The other side of it, though, is right now...

As you point out, Glenn, we're doing better than these other countries, partially because we actually are paying attention and we are doing that.

Yes, and we're doing it largely, largely willingly.

Yes, yes, you have the people down at spring break, and there's some exceptions that are getting a lot of publicity, but largely people are really paying attention to this.

I've seen the traffic on the roads, as

I would mention that both Pat and I are not paying attention to it as we're here.

But I mean, we're doing the social distancing.

You're doing everything that you can.

Yeah.

And like, I think, you know, you look at that, and that is actually a big difference.

It's not, you don't need 100% of people never leaving their home.

What you need is the highest percentage possible, making the least amount of contacts possible.

And if you don't have that, like

this letter from Gavin Newsom that he wrote last night, I don't know if you've read this.

Now, Newsom has been really complimentary of Trump and the way he's handled this.

Yes, which is coma lately.

Which is shocking.

Like, I mean, you could tell how serious they're taking this.

I mean, that's one of the scariest parts about this to me.

You look at these crazy left-wing governors praising Donald Trump.

It's a sign of the Apache.

Seriously, how scared must they be to come out publicly and praise Trump over and over and over again?

Right.

Do you remember how we felt that

they're going to, when Chris Christie praised Barack Obama after his handling of the Sandy storm?

And a large part of the reason for that was he was trying to make sure that Obama stayed on his side so he got the money from the federal government because he was legitimately, and obviously rightfully so, really terrified about that that situation.

The same thing is happening here with Cuomo and Gavin Newsom where they're

think of the lengths these people will go to criticize Donald Trump when something is going fantastically well.

You know here you see Gavin Newsom seemingly legitimately terrified enough to actually praise Trump in public

multiple times.

This is his letter to Trump last night.

He says and again we'll be able to judge this.

This is something we're going to be able to judge in eight weeks to see if he's right.

He goes through what they've had in the last 24 hours.

We project that roughly 56% of our population, 25.5 million people, will be infected with the virus over an eight-week period.

Jeez.

Now,

if it's 8,000 or 12,000 people over an eight-week period, we're going to know that either some crazy thing happened that we aren't expecting or they were just totally wrong.

And he's giving the worst case scenario because who knows?

He wants to hype it up to get more money.

Who knows what the imprecin is.

But, I mean, I think they are legitimately scared.

And I think one of the best pieces of evidence is the way they're dealing with Donald Trump.

True people are treating Donald Trump.

Yeah, people like Elizabeth Warren are still as critical as they've always been.

But the people who actually need Trump are not acting like that.

Yeah.

They are seeing this for something,

they are seeing it as something really real.

All right.

Thank you so much.

You can listen to Pat's program wherever you get podcasts.

You can look for Pat Gray Unleashed.

Also, he records his show live every day, right before this show, on the Blaze Radio and TV network, Blazetv.com.

All right,

let me tell you about Takovis Boots.

Somewhere in America right now, within the sound of my voice, there's a man stepping through the doorway of his office for the very last time.

30 years is a lot of one's life to give to a company, and he thinks it's a...

It's a fair trade for the gold watch on his wrist and the cozy lifestyle that allowed him to spend his golden years now, manage, uh you know just managing a golf cart and a cold beer they've lined up to see him off the younger blood that keeps this place vital and in their eyes he sees respect so you can give him a good show of it and of course there's no best foot to foot put forward and both feet are clad in a pair of tokova's boots that's what he wears he's a man of integrity He's a man that has always paved his own way and his own path.

When you buy a pair of Takova's boots, you're buying a statement of integrity with frontiersmanship, Handmade with the finest leathers, Takovis boots take 200 steps to complete twice the value of similarly priced boots, but half the price of boots that you find of similar quality.

And when you wear Takovis, you'll feel the cowboy inside come alive.

Takovis, Western boots for your frontier.

Find your pair now at tocovis.com/slash back.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

We're so glad that you're here today.

I've got a,

did you see that doctor walk off?

He was the Obama CDC guy who was on MSNBC and he walked off.

Play a little bit about, play a little bit of this, will you?

But the number of cases we have right now, and even those tragic figures you just read, are going to seem minuscule in a week.

The number of cases we will have will be a little bit more difficult.

So this guy's yaku in three days.

And the other guest gets up and says, I'm not listening to this bullcrap anymore.

And gets up, says they're irresponsible.

Something never happened to us.

No guest has ever walked off and said anything like that on us, but MSNBC is cool.

But as I was watching this last night, I realized I've seen this guy before.

Could you play the, because I did a side-by-side comparison if you happen to be watching on Blaze TV, I'll explain it to you for people to grasp.

The number of cases we have right now, and even those tragic figures you just read, are going to seem minuscule.

He is the villain.

The number of cases we will have.

In Despicable 2, the guy in the little orange jumpsuits.

Right now, it's exceedingly.

Listen to that voice.

And we have a large number of cases that are untested still.

So, with all due respect to your stop.

I just think,

I don't know about anybody else, but

he's the villain from Despicable Me, too.

I just want to point it out.

This is the Glenbeck program.

That's an important number because, according to the FBI, that is the average dollar loss from a single break-in.

Hello, America, and welcome to Friday.

Yes, Bill O'Reilly is joining us.

Not a lot of news happened this week.

Not a lot going on.

Can't imagine what he's going to talk about.

We go to Bill O'Reilly in one minute.

This is the Glimbeck program.

Yeah.

All right.

I have a survival trip tip for you.

Now, this is pro.

This is professional, okay?

When you're putting your bug out bag together, one thing you have to, you know, pack up, the essentials, you know, all the things that as this coronavirus mutates and starts turning people into zombies, what are you going to want?

What are you going to want?

And me, I'm like, I don't want, you know, I want to, if I'm going to turn into a zombie, I want to clean shave.

You know, I want to, I want to look nice.

I want to look my best if I'm going to live like that for the rest of my life.

Nobody's shaving, you know.

You're a zombie.

Your hair is not growing, but I just don't want to look like I have that scruffy beard, you know?

So that's why I like to to pack Shave Secret in my bug out bag.

Shake Secret, Shave Secret is something that's going to save you a ton of money, a lot of time, ingrown hairs, if you have that problem.

I have a real problem with

razor rash.

As I shave, I get a really bad rash underneath my chin.

And I've got baby soft skin.

I mean, do you think I've ever worked for a living?

Never.

So Shave Secret, it's a proprietary blend of essential oils, and you put it in your hand, you like like three to five drops, and you work it into your beard, and that's all you need.

Just a little water in your hand, the shave secret, and you rub it into your beard, and your razor flies across your face.

Really close shave.

You can get it

wherever you shop.

H-E-B, Wegmans, grocery stores,

also at Walmart, and available online.

Thank goodness, because zombies are out there.

Amazon.com or shavesecret.com.

If you go to shavesecret.com and use the promo code Beck, you're going to save 10% on your order of Shave Secret.

So you can order there.

It's shavesecret.com or Amazon or any place else, Walmart, wherever you buy your shaving goods.

It's a little teeny bottle.

You'll find it.

It's called Shave Secret.

ShaveSecret.com.

Mr.

Bill O'Reilly,

you're quarantined.

You quarantine and people, will people actually deliver things to your house?

Because they must know where you are.

They must be like, why would they change now?

Right.

Okay.

I was going to say, you're like the guy, you were the guy in the, get off my lawn, you kids.

And they're 45-year-old men.

That's you.

You're the guy who, even when you were 20, was the old guy in the neighborhood shouting at kids, weren't you?

Thank you, Beck.

You're so kind.

This is like

the Adams family house here.

Okay, so nobody ever comes, and I wouldn't know if I was quarantined or not.

Right.

Nobody's

nobody comes to visit you.

But I have a giant bazooka in case

Bette Midler shows up.

So what I'd like to...

What?

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

The dumbest statement.

No, no, no.

The dumbest statement.

I'm keeping lists now of all the pandemic occurrences.

I have lists, about 50 of them.

And I have the dumbest statement list.

All right?

Bet Midler.

Bet Midler tweeted

that

she believes President Trump is lying about not having the coronavirus because he's lied

16,500 times before.

Bet

Midler.

Now,

can you stop that?

Can anyone stop that?

That's dumbest.

Well, all of the people who are saying that Donald Trump is a racist by calling this the China virus, he doesn't have a problem calling it COVID.

He's trolling them.

He's trolling them, and they don't get it.

That's not bet

she wins.

So I got all the lists, and just tell me, Beck, what you are interested in in this pandemic.

Well, and I will tell you

what really is happening.

And this is what we do on billorilly.com, which is far and away.

The blaze is good, I understand.

But this is, if you're interested in protecting you and your family, you've got to go to my website.

Go ahead.

All right.

So, Bill, here's what I would like to know.

And I know you don't like to make personal comments or anything like that, but I'd like to know, where are you on the scale of,

please, this is nothing we're overreacting to, my gosh, we're all going to die.

Where are you on that scale?

I

understand

the danger to the public.

All right?

So when you have a virus that's invisible and spreads quickly through airborne, which means droplets in the air, you have to take extraordinary measures.

You have to.

All right, that's where you start.

You start there.

Now, what are the extraordinary measures?

So just this morning, I got up, I went out, I filled my car up with gasoline, okay, so I have a full tank.

I went to the dog food place

because I don't want the dog to starve.

And the dog, Beck, you're not going to believe this, but the dog does not know how to open cans on her own.

She can't.

My dog does.

My dog does.

My dog looks at the can, can't figure out how to open it.

So I get the dog food for the next three weeks, so I don't have to worry about the dog.

Then I go go to Walgreens

to get a birthday card because birthdays don't stop in the middle of the pandemic.

I get the card.

You know you can do all this online.

Go ahead.

Yeah, you see the guys.

That's ridiculous.

I see my guy at Walgreen.

I wave to him.

I go, got any toilet paper?

No, we won't have any until the year 2030.

I said, okay, good.

Got it.

And goodbye.

Then I go to the bagel place.

All right.

And I get a couple of bagels.

And then I come home to talk to you.

So that's exactly what I did.

And then when I came home, I washed up.

I did wash up because I had the gas nozzle, I had the Walgreens door.

So I washed up.

I washed up nice.

And now I'm clean talking to you.

Right, okay.

So

you're just saying

I'm not really changing anything in my life.

You know, are you still going out to eat and, you know, things like that?

Or can you even in Long Island?

You can't do that in New York.

You can't go to a restaurant.

You can do takeout.

And since I don't know how to cook,

I got to do takeout or I die.

Got it.

So takeout is all right.

I talked to my doctor.

I said, is there any danger?

of you know the takeout and you know look I it's so remote that, you know, if you want to starve yourself, go ahead, but I would eat the takeout, which is what I'm doing.

So look.

Otherwise, you might have to eat the dog.

The large question, though, is an important question for all Americans listening today.

So you're in the middle of this thing.

There is fault here, and we'll get to that, I hope, a little bit later on, whose fault this is, because there is fault.

But no one can do anything about it.

So de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, comes out and says, oh, I want the military in the city.

This is what he says today.

And I support that as long as they arrest de Blasio.

If the military is going to arrest them,

I support.

I think they'd like to.

I think they'd like to.

Now, there are 4,000 cases in a city of 8.5 million.

All right?

4,000 cases.

There will be more.

All right?

And then you've got a packed city.

I don't live in the city.

I live 20 miles outside the city.

You've got to pack.

Not far enough.

People live on one another.

So that's a dangerous situation.

It is.

You got to be careful.

People don't have any idea how dangerous that city is.

You have 8 million people living in a very small area.

Yeah.

And nobody has food.

You don't store food there.

You just go get it.

If everything's closed, that city is a ticking time bomb.

The National Guard should be closed.

It isn't closed.

Look, closed is California.

And this gets me.

Oh, we want you to shelter in place.

You know, that is the most annoying phrase.

It's worse than at the end of the day.

Shelter in place.

It's just annoying.

It's San Francisco annoying.

All right?

Okay.

All right, all right.

Stay in the house.

All right.

Stay in the house.

I don't want to say shelter in place.

Right, okay.

All right.

Okay.

So what are your thoughts on the government coming out?

Not the government, the state governments coming out and saying you must close your business in Oklahoma of all places.

They're telling people to call the state government and report if anyone is still doing business.

You don't have a right to do that.

What are your thoughts on that?

Additionally,

and I looked this up because billorilly.com does this all the precedents of the legal rulings always put public safety ahead of constitutional rights.

Thereby,

politicians have the right to declare martial law, they have a right to quarantine, they have a right to stop people coming and going.

Do you realize there's a county, a beautiful county, in Colorado, San Miguel County, that's Telluride, 8,000 people.

You can't go there.

They will stop you.

They don't want anyone coming into the county at all.

No human beings can come in.

Now, that's clearly unconstitutional.

But if you challenge it, number one, the judges wouldn't show up to hear it because they're all in the basement hiding.

And number two, you would lose on public safety.

So that's what's happening.

So are you concerned at all about any of the constitutional rights?

Like, for instance, there's only one guy in Washington, D.C.

that is an FFL dealer, a guy who can sell guns.

Only one.

Because apparently years ago,

the city screwed him, and so they made him some stupid promise that you're going to be the only one that could sell guns.

Well, he won't sell guns now.

I mean, how do you feel about things like that?

Long run.

And I'm always a long run guy.

I think this is over by June.

All right.

I could be wrong on that, and maybe maybe I'm irresponsible putting forth that opinion.

But if I'm looking at what happened to China, and China is totalitarian, so they just shut Wuhan province down.

Talk about nobody in, nobody out.

I mean, the Army just shut it down.

Well, they don't have many new cases over there in the whole country.

So it looks to me like this is a two-month ordeal

if we...

are prudent.

And we are.

Americans are prudent.

I mean, you don't have a lot of people outside of the spring break, idiots,

doing irresponsible stuff.

So I see it abating or dissipating around Memorial Day.

But the Second Amendment is stronger, will emerge stronger, way much, much, much stronger than it was before the pandemic.

And there are a lot of things like that.

The financial community is going to be in a little trouble.

People are going to reevaluate whether they buy stocks.

So you buy stocks, you hold on, they go up for three, four years, you're happy, and in one day it's gone.

You got to think about it.

So I want to, you know, I want to start that.

I want to, we're going to take a quick break and then I want to come back to that because there's some real problems, Bill, that I don't know how you combat and

how do you, I mean, what's the world look like in, we're doing this for three months from now.

Most small businesses have about 45 days of survival.

How do you help them?

What is the world going to look like?

We'll go to him him in just a second.

Back with Bill O'Reilly.

First, let me tell you about the Hustler Turf Zero Turn Lawn Mower.

I have to tell you, I wanted to mow my lawn so badly yesterday, it's been raining, so I couldn't.

But man, I'm ready to get out and mow the lawn, and I love my Hustler Turf.

I got it a couple of weeks ago, and it is...

I mean, my son and I, yesterday, we were fighting over it.

No, I want to do it.

No, no, no, I get to do it.

It is, it changes the way you look at your lawn and mowing the lawn because it dramatically reduces the time.

I mean, dramatically, and it's a pleasure to do it.

I like getting out and being by myself.

I don't like mowing my lawn in the heat, but yesterday it was perfect temperature.

I'm like, yeah, that's great.

Otherwise, hey, boy, go mow the lawn.

If you're looking for a lawnmower, The place you have to go is hustlerturf.com.

I want you to look at these.

Check out all the other lawn mowers and everything else.

This will be the last one you buy for the rest of your life.

It is built to last.

These are the people who pioneered all of this technology back in the 60s.

They've been making them for big, big, big industrial kind of lawnmowers.

And about, I don't know, five, eight years ago, they started to make them for the home and they've exploded.

You might not have heard of them, but they're the best.

Hustlerturf.com.

Call them right now or just go to that website.

Enter my name Beck in the box for warranty offer details because they're going to give you an extra year warranty.

It's at hustler

turf.com.

That's hustlerturf.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 gotcha.

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

10 Second Station ID.

So, Mr.

Bill O'Reilly, how do we navigate this economically with these businesses that are closed and everyone's business, your business, my business, especially restaurants, everybody is going to be impacted by this one way or another.

And you can't keep a small business closed for 45 days and expect them to survive.

They just can't do

Well, I mean, the federal government is going to reimburse businesses for lost money, lost capital.

That'll happen.

Federal government can take a massive debt hit, but it has to.

So, short term, people are going to suffer, but long term, if they can hang on, they'll be all right.

Well, that doesn't tell me anything.

Of course, that's not the way it is.

What do you want them to do?

You know, they can't open the businesses and risk an Italy situation.

Can't do that.

So the federal government is basically saying, look, we're going to reimburse you for your losses

by direct payments and tax credits.

There isn't any other solution on the face of the earth.

So

how do you feel about

what the president or what the Fed is doing?

Do you have confidence that this is actually going to help us?

The Fed has done extraordinary things recently.

Yeah, I mean,

they're pumping capital into the system.

I understand the banks are strong

because they have not waived any of the.

Yeah, I know you disagree.

I've been following you on that.

But we'll see whether O'Reilly or Beck is correct.

But they.

they're not.

America, put your money down on me on this one.

You put your money down a lot on Bill O'Reilly.

Put your money down on me on this one.

Becky, we'll see.

But I've been investigating it.

And I got to tell you,

and I'm thankful for you because once you started to raise this issue, I said, all right, let's check this out.

But there hasn't been no waiver of what the requirements are for the banks.

They have to have a certain amount of assets there, and they can't go below that.

No.

No, no no no no that that has been changed it changed monday night um they don't have to have any cash reserves now no cash reserves that they used to have to have ten percent now this is for banks that have um you know uh they're taking money in from uh depositors they used to have to have ten percent of that cash on hand the federal reserve wiped that out that's remarkable bill all right i am going going to say that, in my opinion, the federal government is doing what it should do at this point to keep the economy from going over the cliff.

Now, if this pandemic lasts six months, then

we'd have to seriously look at what's happening.

Reevaluate.

Yeah, yeah.

But if

it's anticipating by Memorial Day,

I think everybody's going to be okay.

So what do you think about

the free market versus the rest of the world?

I mean, we're starting to see here in America, the free market is putting things together,

and we may even have a possible

cure

in one drug that's already out on the market now.

I mean, the free market seems to be doing a really good thing, but people are coming coming out.

60% of Democrats are saying

they want to get rid of private health care more than they did before this.

Just as the Second Amendment will be strengthened,

the

specter of a government-run health care program will be severely weakened if...

the private sector can come up with medicine to mitigate this plague.

Now yesterday, the President implied they're well on the road to doing that.

I don't know if that's true or not.

I don't know.

But I can tell you that I am hoping and praying, and actually, I do physically pray, that the United States does what it's always done.

In nineteen eighteen, we defeated the Kaiser.

In the nineteen forties, we defeated Hitler and Toujo.

We then eventually defeated Stalin Soviet Union.

We defeated al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Jihad.

And now I'm hoping Americans can defeat the coronavirus for the world.

Yeah, here we are.

Because we're taking the lead.

Okay?

Right.

And if that happens, we emerge once again as the world's savior, which is absolutely possible.

If you have to say the best of the week and the worst of the week on the coronavirus thing, what would you say it was?

The best of the week.

Superstar and villain.

As far as I'm seeing, are individual Americans who don't panic, who do the right thing, who buy groceries for their elderly neighbors.

Yes.

And when we come back from the very scintillating commercials, I'll tell you the worst of the week.

Very scintillating.

Thank you for that.

I'm waiting with bated breath and anticipation to hear

what commercial might run next.

We'll do that more with Bill O'Reilly next.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Hey, have you ever been shopping with somebody who is obsessive about the, you know, clipping the coupons?

Yeah, and the whole trip through the store, you're looking at the bulge in their purse.

And

yeah, I used to shop with my grandma and my mother.

Uh, thank god Tanya doesn't do that, Tanya doesn't do it because she has honey.

Uh, and I and I want you to sign up for this.

This is a really great thing that will save you an awful lot of money.

It's an app, and you just get honey for free at joinhoney.com/slash back.

And I've always told you when it's free, you're the product.

Not in this case.

Before I said I would do commercials for them, I checked with my wife.

Do you use honey?

She uses honey.

Stu uses honey as well.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We have some good news coming out of

the Harris poll, the latest Harris poll,

conducted just

between March 17th and 18th

over two waves, March 14th, 15th, and then 17th and 18th.

And it shows that 60% in both waves, 60% of Americans are satisfied with how the federal government has handled the coronavirus so far.

The president, 56% of the second wave, approved of the way Trump has handled the COVID crisis, 44%

disapproving.

This is up five percentage points from the first wave,

where

his overall approval has gone from 49% to 53%.

So it looks like Trump is handling this well, and the American people are starting to see that.

Let's talk a little bit about politics here.

Bill O'Reilly joins joins us.

It is Friday.

Bill, your thoughts on the poll and how the President's doing first.

Okay, but then I tease the audience, so I don't want to do that.

Oh, yeah, okay, so let's start there first.

I'm sorry, you did.

I didn't write that down.

I'm sorry, go ahead.

Tease the audience first.

Go ahead.

In this pandemic virus outside of the actual illness itself, of course, is the political correct media still

peddling garbage that hurts the American people.

ABC News correspondent, I think her name is Cecilia Vega.

This is the one who said,

a lot of people think it's racist if you call it the Chinese virus.

All right?

Now I'm sitting there at home going, is this doing me and my family any good at all, Ms.

Vega?

And she didn't do it in an inquisitive way.

She did it in a Megan Kelly prosecutorial way.

That you are a racist by using the term Chinese virus, Mr.

President.

It's sickening.

And Disney does that all the time.

I mean, they are the most politically correct.

It's just outrageous.

So that's the worst thing.

All right.

So now, do you think that, I mean, because I think President Trump is just trolling.

I mean, when he came out yesterday, I don't know if you saw this, and he came out and they didn't play Hail to the Chief.

You know, instead, they, do we have that audio of him coming out for the press conference yesterday?

Can we play that, Sarah?

When he came out and played this while saying China virus,

I mean, he's just trolling people, don't you think?

Yeah, I thought that was a bit over the top.

Yeah, that might have been a little

over the top.

The difference

to the

White House on the occasion that they solicit my opinion is that this story is not about President Trump or any individual politician.

No.

Exactly right.

And I think they've gotten that message.

Now, I would have said, in deference to Ms.

Vega, the virus from China.

That's more precise.

And that takes away the stupidity of

the record.

Bill, do you think anyone even cares?

This does not do anything.

MERS is Middle Eastern.

The Spanish flu, the West Nile virus, that's how you define these things.

I think they care in the sense that they hate the media.

That the media continues to drive nails into its own hands.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

I think this is because I have talked to a lot of people, you know, just here, just

just chatting with people,

you know, on the phone or whatever, watching what people are saying in social media, they don't care about this.

You hit the nail on the head when you said, Look,

what's the deal?

How does this affect my life?

Everyone knows it doesn't matter at this point.

It doesn't matter what you call it.

But it matters to Disney.

See, that's the overarch.

It's not Cecilia Vega.

She takes orders.

All right?

You think it matters because media can't stop they're addicted to political correctness

well in that case they're they're actually they're actually addicted to uh chinese money i mean the you know the mark the american market is not the market anymore that these big companies are looking at they're looking at

china billions in china with its theme parks and all that but i don't believe that's driving it i believe that trump hatred continues to drive it trumps a racist trump's this Trump's that.

And Disney and Comcast and ATT with CNN, they can't stop.

They cannot stop.

And it's hurting all Americans because they're not reporting the news accurately.

And now

go ahead.

No, no, and now.

And now, in the middle of a pandemic, we need accurate reporting, not political correctness.

Stop it.

all right so let me let me ask you the

we hit a massive massive recession some are saying by third quarter we could be in a depression we hit that is there any chance that Trump can pull through that

now that's a complicated question there will be a recession However, there's a lot of capital on the sideline, and there's a lot of opportunity to make a lot of money because stocks have been irrationally beat up.

So if you are smart and invest in good companies, you could really do well.

That means that the market itself will snap back.

The 5 million Americans who lose their jobs, and that's my estimate on billorilly.com, they're going to be hurting.

I assume the federal government will put up all the entitlements it can to help those people.

But there will be a recession.

But if Trump continues to show authority in fighting the virus and it does dissipate by summer, he will be reelected.

Because remember, when Trump stopped the flights on January 31st,

Biden objected to that and called it xenophobic,

another politically correct canard

that soundbite is going to be shoved down Biden's throat it's a killer for him

and so

I at this point virus dissipates Trump wins virus elongates into the fall no one knows

well it's it's probably going to happen unless we have some sort of miracle happen with the with the virus virus, which I don't see,

unless some of these drugs that are already out start to work.

There's no way to get a virus.

And if it is seasonal, it will start to come back around the time of the election.

And so anybody who's like...

I think that this virus is going to have an anecdote fairly soon.

That's what I'm hearing from the pharmaceuticals.

An anecdote or an antidote?

An antidote.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

All right.

Word Word of the day.

But thank you for pointing that out.

And I want to

give a few seconds for an important plot.

All right.

Okay, go ahead.

Because I know you and Stu make fun of me when I'm off the air.

I understand that.

No, we actually say nicer things about you when you're off the air.

We're really actually nicer to you.

So my point is that you're not you, the American person.

being well served by the national media.

And I can prove that a lot of ways.

I got a letter from a guy named Brad Chase in Ellicott City, Maryland.

I was just there in that town about three weeks ago.

He says, quote, I have to say, and I've said this to my wife, this is the best money I have ever spent to educate and update myself on the news for my family.

Thank you so much for doing the newscast on billorilly.com.

Now, that came to me, and I just wanted to read it, and I appreciate you letting me read it because I will never mislead, and you know that, Beck.

You've known me a long time.

I don't care about politics.

I don't care about agendas.

I don't care about political parties or any of that.

No, I will never mislead you.

And we're way ahead on this virus at billorilly.com.

Way ahead on it.

Well, Bill, thank you very much for being on the program.

Thanks for all the stuff that you do.

Thanks for your friendship.

And we will

some of that shave stuff.

Oh, shave seeker.

Okay, yeah, I'll shave.

Yeah,

you can go into the store and buy it.

I mean, you're already going out to all the stores.

You don't care.

Let me tell you something also.

Nobody's coming to your house.

Nobody's delivering anything.

Nobody's coming to your house.

You realize you die.

Your dog can't open the cans.

Your dog's going to eat you.

You know that, right?

That's nice, Beck.

Thank you very much.

Even though you set off in such a pleasant fashion.

Very nice.

Thank you.

I love you, Bill.

Thanks so much.

Well,

we've successfully wrecked another friendship.

So no one talks to us.

We've continued that.

Let me tell you about Romance, too.

Yeah, we have

been a fun couple of days where everyone gets at home.

The only thing you can basically do is go out and maybe, I don't know, pump some gas.

And if you're standing there for 45 minutes today, frustrated, distracted, and alternately swearing at the proverbial, like a, I mean, just like a sailor, calling to the heavens to have God come down and personally help you because you just can't get the gas nozzle to fit.

Until at last, finally, you get it through and then proceed to fill your car with diesel fuel, unaware that your day has come to a much worse end than you'd thought.

That was kind of embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as having to go talk to your doctor about ED.

With Roman, you can get a free online evaluation, ongoing care, from the comfort and privacy of your home.

No face-to-face meetings, no awkwardness.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Well, talking about politics,

we have somebody from the Biden campaign, I understand, on the phone with us.

Wilfred, go ahead.

Hello.

Hello, Wilfred.

Are you there?

Wilfred?

Hello.

Hello, Wilfred.

How are you?

My name is Wilfred.

I'm calling from Sun City, Florida.

Yes, I understand that.

And you are with the Biden campaign, is that right?

Yes, I am the director of youth outreach

for the Joseph Robinick Jr.

Biden campaign.

Right, okay.

All right.

And how can I help you today?

Well, I wanted to get a message out to the young people in your audience

and

because many of them will not understand the seriousness of this crisis that we face.

You realize that talk radio is not where the kids hang out, right?

Well, they're very, very young.

I've seen the the demographics and they're very, very young, very inexperienced people listening to AM Talk Radio.

And that's partially just because it's a new technology.

Um what I wanted to get across to your audience, however,

was

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.

is uh uniquely qualified to deal with this particular threat that we face with with the with the

virus.

Yes, thank you.

Mainly because he has spent a lifetime dealing with various outbreaks of disease across the globe.

He was there for typhus.

He was there for cholera.

He had yellow fever three times.

I didn't know any of this.

Yes.

I was there with Joe when he got the convulsive vapors.

And that was a very trying time.

Do you remember when that was?

The convulsive vapor.

It was a time ago.

We were in our 50s, I believe, at the time.

Right.

Then he got Dropsy and Thrush right next to each other.

And that was very...

Really?

Yes.

And then immediately following that, he came down with scroffula.

Which is what?

Scrofula?

It's a giant growing mass in his neck.

But it was really scrofula.

Yes, with horse extracts.

And

that's not really the point.

The point is that Biden has seen these incidents before, and he knows how to act decisively as a leader.

How do you think we stopped the outbreak of sour womb?

Of what?

Sour womb?

Sour womb.

That was

sour womb.

When Joe Biden saw the incredible threat of silent diphtheria, he stepped up and he was able to stop it.

When fickle vampirism broke out in this nation, who was

fickle?

Fickle vampirism.

Fickle vampirism?

When that broke out, Joe Biden was there.

Is that vampires who are kind of like,

I'm not so interested in blood today?

What is fickle vampirism?

But it's a very long story.

I don't think we have time to get into the entire story.

All right, all right.

Well, because if I do that, I won't be able to tell you about the time Joe Biden stopped a frost rash.

Frost rash?

Yes, it was terrible.

I remember Joe Biden stepping up to the plate and stopping Rickety Eye.

When that first broke out, people were very...

It felt like it does today.

Wow.

Really?

Rickety Eye.

Oh, yes.

And that was nothing compared to the serpent delirium.

That was

cute.

Did you have to?

Oh, my goodness.

Did you have to stay inside for that and close all businesses?

No, you had to close all businesses.

You had to close all orifices as well.

That was a total shutdown.

Nothing could come in.

Nothing could go out.

Wow.

That's amazing.

That was devastating.

Not as devastating as the time that we both came down

simultaneously.

avian fingers avian fingers

oh my goodness that's this is a disease if you're not familiar where each finger turns into a separate bird with its own sentient existence and hopes and dreams

wow and wow when they start flying in opposite directions that is the most painful thing you'll ever experience let me tell you

so please vote by biden 2020 or 1920 what is it what year what is it it's uh 2020 i believe yeah 2020 thank you very much wilford from the youth outreach of the biden campaign

According to the FBI, the average dollar loss from a single break-in is about $2,300.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

All right, our coronavirus update.

A lot of good stuff in it, including an update on that medicine that we told you about yesterday.

That about a half hour later, the president said should be made available and is available.

We have an update on that, the numbers, coronavirus by the numbers, also

some of the things that are happening all around the country right now because of the China virus.

China.

China.

Could you tell me why you keep saying it's a China virus?

What am I calling it?

The China virus.

The what?

China?

The China virus?

Yes.

That's what you're talking about?

Yes.

What's it called?

China?

China virus.

Yeah.

We have more on that and that ridiculous exchange that is happening with the media and the president in one minute.

This is the global program.

Chida, Chida, Chida, Chida, Chida.

Hey, trying to sell your house?

Oh, but that's fun, huh?

Let me just tell you this.

When people are in the market to buy a house, it's going to be really good because

we have the lowest interest rates we've ever had.

You imagine?

I remember growing up, and I was in a teenager in the 80s, and I remember in the 1970s, right before Reagan took office, how bad things were.

And Reagan came in and then the Fed, he started arguing with the Fed and the Fed just screwed him to the wall.

I think we had 18% unemployment, or sorry, we had 18% interest rates.

Can you imagine borrowing money at 18%?

That's like a credit card.

Now,

you're close to 0%.

If you're not refinancing right now, this is something you could do right now at home.

I want you to call and refinance.

And if you're looking for a home, now is the time to go and get the home because you're going to be able to buy so much more home than you ever could have possibly without even spending anymore.

If you're looking to sell or buy your home, I want you to go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

The coming weeks and months, once we get past all this, this is the time to be able to sell your home, buy a home at realestateagentsitrust.com.

That's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Wait a minute, Sarah, can we, I guess, got some, stop the music for a second.

I just got something I don't even know.

It's from the is it really from the Trump administration that said that they prefer this as our China or coronavirus update?

That's uh

So I think this might

be somewhat offensive to those people in the media that

think this is the big issue that we should all be focused on.

But

here's our COVID-19 update.

Their total confirmed cases worldwide, 252.

That is up almost 50,000 from yesterday.

This thing is starting to compile now.

We're in the exponential growth.

Total confirmed deaths, 10,000, up from 9,200 yesterday.

Total confirmed recovered worldwide, 89,000, up 4,000 from yesterday.

182 countries have confirmed cases, up from 176.

Four more have suspected cases.

There are now officially only 13 countries that do not have at least one case of COVID-19.

I challenge anyone,

anyone, to name those 13 countries because I guarantee you they're countries that were like, I didn't even know you were a country.

5% of active cases are considered seriously requiring hospitalization.

That's steady, 5% from yesterday, but down from 19% just three weeks ago.

The U.S.

now has 14,366 confirmed cases, 217 deaths.

That is up 9,000 cases from yesterday.

So we're close to doubling now our cases in one day, and our deaths, 217, up from 155.

The governor of California has issued a shelter-in-place order.

Everybody, quick shelter-in-place.

I don't, that's the Bill O'Reilly said that really bothered him, and I didn't know why until just right now.

It is like, just stay at home.

Issue a stay-at-home order.

Residents told to stay home unless they have to acquire food, medicine, medical care, or other emergencies.

How about just getting out of the house for a while?

Is that possible?

We've been talking to the kids.

We played Uno last night

and started watching a new show on, is it

Netflix called Lock and Key?

We had a great time, but I had to break it to them.

Guys, I don't think we're leaving.

You know, you're not going back to school.

I don't don't think you're going back to school.

And I don't think we're leaving the house for another few weeks.

And they were like, what?

I can't take it.

All right, so you can leave for medical care, you know, acquire food, medicine, other emergencies.

Like,

I swear to the officer, I was going to kill him if I didn't leave.

He said compliance is going to rely heavily on social pressure and not law enforcement.

That's good.

No timeframe was given for how long this thing is going to last.

He says we're going to keep the grocery stores open, make sure that critical medical supplies are there.

You can still take your kids outside.

Just practice common sense.

Still walk your dog.

You know.

Oh, I'm on the air.

Essential travel includes trips to the grocery store, gas stations, farmers markets, food banks, convenience stores, takeout, delivery, banks, and ATMs.

I'm like, that's going to be open long.

Directive also exempts critical infrastructure such as food and agriculture, health care, transportation, energy, and financial services.

Now this comes in after he is put an official letter to the Trump administration.

He said 56% of the state's population, that's about 25.5 million people, projected to be infected with the coronavirus over an eight-week period.

Now this, according to the Los Angeles Times, it also has a copy of that letter.

In the letter, he asked the president to deploy the U.S.

NS Mercy hospital ship to the port of Los Angeles until September of this year to help decompress our current health care delivery system in the Los Angeles region in response to COVID-19 outbreak.

Well, that's, I mean, that's one ship.

That's 25 million people are getting sick.

By the way, they're not putting the sick people on the ships.

They're trying to get like broken legs and trauma.

As that's really the thing that the Navy works on.

California has 8,500 intensive care beds currently.

Over 80% are already occupied.

If 5% to 6% of the patients require hospitalization, including the 4% that

require intensive care, and they have an average stay of 20 days, if 25.5 million people get COVID-19 over eight weeks, 4% require intensive care, that's 1,147,500 who are going to require intensive care.

1,147,500.

There are 8,500 beds in existence in California.

Amin, maybe that's why in related news, marijuana dispensaries are deemed essential under California's shelter-in-place order.

Now, Stu, I was thinking about this.

Is this because

is this because of the,

you know, stay at home with your kids and so you're going to need the pot?

Or is it

for some other reason?

I'm not.

It's a good question.

Well, you know, as you know, it's medical.

It's medicine.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, it's right.

Yeah, that's right.

No, that's right.

No, it is.

I mean, every cigar in California uses it that way as well.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Everybody does.

In our conspiracy corner, California government has been banning or been planning for COVID-19 shutdown and outbreak since January.

Hey, Stu, what do you think about

the people in Congress that went and sold all their stock in January after a confidential secret meeting about what was coming?

Well, it's a mixed bag so far.

We don't know all of the answers to that yet.

Some people seem like they, at least they're claiming.

They have nothing to do with those decisions and they're done separately, and they should be able to prove that if that's true.

Others are,

I don't know if Burr's getting out of this one.

It seems like Burr's the one in the biggest amount of trouble on this particular item.

He's saying that he, oh, I just relied on

public reports

on these things.

I was watching CNBC.

Is he exempt?

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

Well, you know,

because it's not against the law for the, and this drives me nuts.

It's not against the law for what Congress has done, which it should be.

You're operating on inside information, insider information.

That's wrong.

They did change some of that with Peter Schweiser's book, didn't they?

Because he was the first real person who exposed that in a big way.

And they did change some of the rules around it.

So I'm not exactly sure how much of a violation this would be.

But obviously, it looks terrible.

It is terrible.

If you're going and you're doing it this way, I can't imagine he survives it unless he has a legitimate rock-solid excuse.

And the accusation being that he had a briefing, a private briefing about coronavirus, realized how bad it was going to be, and sold a bunch of his stocks.

They,

you know, they're all denying it, everyone who's been accused of it.

But

he then went out in public and was saying it wasn't going to be as bad, and the president was all over it, and we were going to be fine.

So it was a little bit of a

mixed message there.

And if the truth is that he went to a private briefing, took that information, realized stocks were going to tank, sold all of his stocks, didn't tell anyone else, obviously the American people are not going to put up with that.

It's just a matter of whether it's provable and whether it's actually true.

You know,

we still are yet to see a detailed response.

I believe Loeffler wrote that she had a pretty

airtight excuse, if it's true, which is, you know, she had certain funds set up certain ways, and it seemed like it was a

pretty good explanation if it holds up.

Burrs was a little bit more difficult.

He said that he's willing to

go along with an investigation on it, though.

All right.

So, California had been planning for COVID-19 shutdown and outbreak.

This is according to the conspiracy.

Starting in January 2020, the governor's office designated 286 state properties as official homeless shelters by the way of executive order on January 15.

These were vacant lots and

fields that were filled with FEMA-provided RVs, mobile homes, blah, blah, blah.

They have been sitting empty.

People are saying, that's because they weren't preparing for homelessness.

They were preparing for COVID.

Yeah, really?

Because that sounds like California to me.

It sounds like they're being overrun by the homeless problem.

So bring in all these things and then just not do anything with them.

I mean, if that doesn't sound like California government,

there's no conspiracy there.

That's just stupid California government.

Turns out that having lots of toilet paper, not such a bad idea.

Nearly half of COVID-19 present with digestive issues, including diarrhea.

Diarrhea from China.

Apparently, a lot of people aren't going in and

they get diarrhea and they're like, it's supposed to be my lugs.

And I don't think my lugs are producing diarrhea.

And so they're not going into the hospital and they're going in a little late.

But apparently, you can get that with COVID-19.

That's how it actually first presents itself in some people.

Now, yesterday, we had the guy on

about this anti-malaria drug.

You know, if you use it in

conjunction with a ZPAC, that it can actually cure, according to a scientist in France, cure 100% of the patients that tried this out.

I asked him, in fact, Faxer, do we have this audio where I asked him yesterday, so

are there any bad side effects?

And I want you to listen to this.

These drugs have been tried separately.

There's no indication that these drugs used together have any kind of ill effect.

So

the trial showed that there was a 100% cure rate in six days.

Both of these drugs have a very high quality safety profile.

Again, please, please submit this protocol to all scientists, medical doctors, and nurses.

Stop.

So, you notice he didn't really answer that question.

I will answer that question for you coming up in one minute.

Oh, now, see, I don't.

That's a China,

China virus,

China virus.

Update.

So

very

all right.

So it's election year.

That means it's time to make that difficult hiring decision we have to make every four years.

Who are we going to hire as president?

If you're a conservative, I think it's pretty clear where we're going.

What about if you're on the liberal side of things?

Wow.

I think it's still pretty clear.

ZipRecruiter sends your job, if as long as it's not the president,

Okay, so, all right, so

this is a drug that we've been using for malaria.

And apparently, the malaria drugs give you

quite a wild ride on fever dreams.

I imagine malaria also gives you that, but this stuff is like really bizarre.

And you're supposed to combine it with a z-pack

now i reached out to my doctor and my doctor uh you know is not insane uh and he just started to look into this and he's like look i all i all i did was just look these up to see if you know they're dangerous side effects with these two medicines together uh and uh he said well

One, one of the risks is a potentially dangerous

heart rhythm.

And that's the side effect of the hydroxychloroquid,

hydroxy, hydrochloric, that drug, I've got to call it HQ from here.

That drug apparently

can make your heart do things that it probably shouldn't.

And according to my doctor, he wrote, I'm not sure how often this arrhythmia occurs.

I'm sure it depends a lot on how high a dose you

prescribe for the hydrochloroxychloroquid or the zithromax.

It also depends on what medicines the person might be on in the heart history and blah, blah, blah.

He's like,

I'm not a heart guy, but he's reaching out to somebody to find out.

He said, the textbook says

that maybe you shouldn't put these two together, even if the cure rate for the Chinavirus.

In the French study is 100%.

My doctor said, if you get this, I know

I don't feel comfortable prescribing both of these medications together.

It's like, I give you the hydro drug

by itself

if you get it.

And maybe, you know, I'd throw in the Z-Pack, but I don't feel comfortable prescribing both of those together.

So there's the news from my doctor.

So there, you're not getting that anywhere else.

Ched.

Ched.

Do you take that stuff, Stu?

Would you take it?

Would you try it?

In that, not just for fun.

I don't think it's a recreational situation, but if I'm on the

death from coronavirus, yeah, I'm going to pop pretty much any poem I find in there.

Here's what I'd like to know.

What is the difference between this and people who have cancer?

We're like, we got it.

What about the Jedivirus?

So we're going to make everything available.

You try it.

You want to eat a broobstick.

If it works, we're going to make broobsticks available.

How come they're doing it now, but they won't do it with cancer?

Well, I think that's because that's what if I've got cancer and you're like, I want to try it, I'm going to die, I'd like to try it.

That's the right to try debate that actually Trump has advanced in the right direction during his presidency.

I think so too.

Yeah, so they've been able to kind of get some freedom for people who are in those circumstances to kind of just try something, even if it's experimental.

This situation, though, is even more rushed, right?

Like, these things are happening so fast that it is one of those things where,

look, if this has the potential, and there is a study, as the guy pointed out yesterday, of 40 people, and it's a small study in France where it was very, very effective.

100% effective.

Yeah, it's been rumored to be effective

in other countries as well.

The rumors are that China and South Korea had used this at some level.

We don't know all the facts, but you got to give people a chance if they're on their deathbed.

You got to go for it.

Out of where?

Where was it?

Jadna.

Where was it?

Jeda.

Jeda.

You have to say it with like you're stuffed up, too.

Do you notice that he has that problem?

He's like, he's always stuffed up.

Jeda.

Jeda.

Jeda.

All right.

More in just a second.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

Jeda.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

So

let me just talk to you about another wonderful thing that could happen and that you can avoid.

And, you know, you're going to have to

get up pretty early in the day.

You want to avoid absorbing even the slightest amount of knowledge about cars to the extent that I've avoided it.

But, you know, I've made a lifetime practice of that.

I walk around with most of my days, you know, fingers at the ready, you know, in case I, in case somebody's like, hey, I know how you can fix that car.

La, la, la, la, la.

I don't want to know about it.

And you know what?

I probably was right because now you can't fix your car because now it's got all the computers and everything else and you got to get chips and you're not fixing your car, dude.

They don't even want you to open up the hood anymore.

Well.

That means you're going to pay a lot of money to have them fix.

Back in a second with more.

Triple 8727BECK is the phone number.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

So, we've been asking today about:

do these state governments have the right

to

tell you what to do and not to do?

And they can make real strong recommendations, but especially when it comes to your First Amendment, don't you have a right to congregate?

Don't you have a right to come together?

Now,

when you look at this,

the state always seems to win in the courts to be able to say, no, it's for public health.

But where does that right begin and end?

Well, there is one pastor.

He is the pastor of Life Tabernacle Church.

He's in Baton Rouge, and he is defying the governor.

His name is Reverend Tony Spell, and he is on the phone with us now.

Reverend, how are you, sir?

Better than I deserve.

How are you, Glenn?

I'm good.

So now, tell me what exactly is happening there with your church.

What is happening is

we have continued to assemble since the governor's orders last week.

Sunday morning, I had 1,170 people in attendance.

We ran 27 Sunday school buses that reach

the impoverished areas of our city.

We bring those children to our churches.

We picked up 643 children last week.

We feed everyone a breakfast.

We teach them the word of God.

Then we have recreation and pray over everybody.

And we do that on a weekly basis.

This is important, I would imagine, Tony, because it's an impoverished area.

And there's a lot of children now.

If you're not going to school, you're not getting breakfast.

You may not get lunch.

And so you're providing food.

but the governor doesn't like that.

And there's a controversy, I guess, in the press on whether they sent the National Guard to shut you down or not.

National Guard said, no, we have nothing to do with that.

Can you tell me what happened?

What happened was

Sunday morning, of course, we had a parking lot full of people.

So a reporter came by.

And then Tuesday asked if we were having service again.

So she came.

U.S.

Representative Woody Jenkins live streams my service with over 100,000 viewers.

At that point,

Central Police Department showed up on my front porch.

I want to clarify what happened with that later, if I could.

And a statement was made that the National Guard would be deployed to disband groups of 50 or more.

I prayed over that individual.

I gave him an anointed cloth and I respected what he was doing and I said

you're doing your job.

We're doing our job as a church.

Within 12 hours I had the governor's office meet with me in my office here at my church.

Also

members of Washington that are connected with the White House have also reached out to me.

And the whole tenure has changed somewhat as far as

being persecuted for the faith.

However,

I guess some of our greatest persecution right now is coming from

other people that are asking us to stop having our services, which we hold as a conviction and we will not stop having our services.

So

what happened with the phone calls and the visit from the governor?

What were they saying?

What did the White House say to you?

They said, Reverend, we're not asking you to close your doors.

What can we do to accommodate you?

I said, there are no guidelines.

If I go across the border three hours, there's thousands of people gathering on beaches.

If I go five miles up the road,

Walmart, Target Target are still assembling because they're quote-unquote essential parts of our community, which is what's not being said is speaking volumes.

That's saying the church is a non-essential part of our community.

And I believe that we are more essential to our community.

I've had

two teenage girls attempt suicide this week.

because their parents have lost their jobs.

They're not in school.

It's a time of peril and distress.

So basically they said, Reverend, we know you're going to keep your doors open.

We just ask that you comply with it, with whatever restrictions are set in place.

And

the scripture that's really being posed to me from the brethren is Romans 13, which

the governing body and my governing body is the word of God, which says do not forsake the assembling of yourself together Matthew 18 20 gather together and I don't have the ability to live stream the majority of my people that I minister to do not have internet they count on me on a weekly basis for spiritual guidance prayer

healing and

preaching and prophecy so

Where we stand now is we are going to have service Sunday morning.

I I have people as far as Washington State, Alabama, California who are coming to my service to stand in solidarity with us.

During the President's address yesterday when the Surgeon General spoke, the Lord quickened me when he spoke of the blood bank shortage.

We're also having a blood drive on my premises.

because our blood banks are desperately empty right now.

I'm feeding.

My restroom owners and my church have closed their doors under the government mandate.

They're losing their food right now.

They're losing their business.

I told them that

I would financially support them to feed everybody that comes to my service.

And this is what our ministry is in our city.

So, Reverend, I think, I mean, you are in a really tough situation.

And this is not like one of those, you know, this is not one of those rich churches,

et cetera etc you are you sound i don't know anything about your church or anything but what you've just told me you sound like you're really trying to help the community and you do have a right to do that and you have a responsibility to do that um when it comes to the services

go ahead

no i i have a god-given obligation to yes

regardless of

the laws are mandated to me by my governor

now um

are you going to take measures to keep people, because there are people that just don't think that this is deadly at all.

And

are you one of those people?

No, sir.

I've assured our state officials and national officials, I'll take whatever measures are necessary.

Which measures are those?

I was informed by

medical staff yesterday, stop using hand sanitizer.

That makes you more susceptible to this virus.

And

we've got a nation that's on a hand sanitizer craze right now, and that's not helping.

It's hurting.

So, what do I do?

There's diverse weights, and there are false balances in our society right now.

There's one against the church, and there's one for commerce, and that's what our argument is.

So,

your precautionary measures, yes.

Last Sunday, your sermon was a sermon about not giving in to fear.

What is your sermon about this Sunday?

This Sunday,

I am

taking two texts, Luke 21,

when men's hearts are failing them for fear, don't look down, don't look around, look up.

Let's look to God in these times of peril.

Daniel, the third chapter, I'm going to talk about three stiff-legged boys

among a generation of weak-need people who bowed and who bent under the tyrannical rule of King Nebuchadnezzar, who said, do not worship any other God but me.

And those three boys stood.

I feel that this is

Christianity's finest hour to stand.

And let's do not lose our freedoms for gathering gathering together.

So that's my sermon: is to keep standing and let's do not live in fear.

God has not given us a spirit of fear, Glenn, but a power of love and a sound mind.

And in an hour where children are home from school, parents have no daycare, their daycares are closed, parents have lost their jobs.

Dental workers in my church are forbidden to go to work.

They have no money.

The last stable

institution in their life is the church and

and how long can we keep our doors closed we refuse to close our doors

Reverend I have to tell you I I don't know how this is all going to play out

you know and but I applaud you for

your conviction.

I'm not sure what I would do if I were in your situation, but I, you know, I'm not the one getting the guidance.

That's your calling and your keys.

And I appreciate the fact that you're standing up for your community and your right.

I just, I pray and I wish you great luck, success, and safety for all people that would be coming your way.

I don't know what I would do in your situation.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you, Glenn.

You bet.

That's Dr.

Reverend Tony Spell.

Stu

what do you do in that situation?

I mean

look most churches I think would would agree with him on almost all of that right he is a God they have God are given right and they they have to put that above pretty much everything but most churches also have decided to shut down because they just think it's the best thing to do.

He doesn't.

So

he's going to have to feel that one out himself.

I mean, as far as I know, churches aren't forced to be uh closed in most circumstances around the current i don't think you can and he makes a good point about essential service especially yeah if he you know he's saying you know most of the people don't have i don't have a an internet presence because the

my people don't have an internet presence um and so i mean he's in a really difficult situation i again

He's right.

That is an essential service.

It is.

I just don't know how I would do it.

Well, look, we all are going out to grocery stores.

Not everybody, but lots of people are still going out to grocery stores.

You can still go out to pharmacies.

You can still go out to banks.

There are ways that people are gathering.

If you can take the sort of most high-level precautions possible, you know, maybe

separating people and trying to do the best that you can, that may be the only way kind of around this.

Look, it's not that no one is having any interactions with other people.

You're just trying to limit it as much as humanly possible.

And even if you could have it open air, if you could do these services open air, that would be helpful.

I mean, we're doing a home services, home church,

you know, every Sunday now at our house as our church is closed down.

And we're still responsible for all the things that we're supposed to be responsible for.

And so we've been doing church at home ourselves,

you know, not online or anything else, just running it ourselves.

And it's, uh,

I think there's a way to bring each other closer, the families closer together in this.

But if you're in a situation, imagine, think about the people who are like, you know, you're in an abusive situation and your husband is home all the time, or your wife is home all the time now.

Yeah.

Or your dad or mom.

I mean, it's this, there's a lot of people that are really, really in trouble because of this.

Yeah, the side effects are going to be a

fascinating and really sad part.

It's going to be a a book.

Oh, yeah, tons.

Because you not only have police are already saying that they're seeing increases in domestic violence because of this.

Oh, I'm sure.

Which is

really a serious thing.

And then on the other side, you have

people who are dealing with depression or have serious sort of medication issues that they might not be able to get easily.

They're worried about that.

Plus, there's a lot of people who are working in charities and other things that are overseas and can't get back because the countries they need need to fly through have closed their borders.

All right, let me tell you about Simply Safe.

I know during the coronavirus mess, you're focused on taking care of your family,

but I want to talk to you about Simply Safe, keeping your family safe.

I mean,

we have no idea what's headed our way.

We have no idea.
