Another Government Power-Grab? | Guest: Rep. Thomas Massie | 3/18/20

This is the Glenbeck program.

So, with all the talk about coronavirus, people have stopped talking about the good old flu, which has killed tens of thousands and hospitalized over a quarter of a million in the U.S.

already, and the season isn't even over.

One of the best ways to avoid getting sick, of course, is having a healthy immune system.

One of the ways I do that, I like to make sure that I every day, my mommy told me this a long time ago: get your fruits and vegetables.

Field of Greens is the easiest way to do this.

Supports a healthy immune system with a full serving of fruits and vegetables, clinically proven to

reduce your risk of heart disease.

It's great.

Code is S-T-U.

The fusion.

Of entertainment and enlightenment.

People, people, people, we have a show to do.

Welcome to to it.

It is Wednesday and a big show it is at that.

All the latest on the coronavirus,

some of the crazy things that are happening.

Hey, Governor Cuomo, shut up.

That

and more when we begin in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So what's it take to sell a house?

If you've ever done it, I mean, can you imagine selling your house today?

Stu, can you imagine selling your house?

Nobody's coming over.

You don't want anybody coming over to your house.

Oh, no, no, no.

I don't know what you would even do, honestly, at this point.

Right.

And if you are looking to sell your house or, you know,

I mean, you want to go into other people's houses right now, this is really going to be weird.

Anyway.

Anyone who has ever sold a house, you know that what it takes to sell a house, it takes about eight pages to write down and you're still missing a lot of stuff.

What you need is a really good, successful real estate agent in your area that has a plan on helping you sell your house.

Go to RealestateAgents I Trust.com, it's a company I started several years back, and our agents are the top of the line.

They don't work for me.

All I'm doing is I'm playing Matchmaker, if you will.

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, make me a match, sell me a home,

buy me a

hatch, something like that.

Anyway, all you have to do is go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

It is a free service to you.

Find the people that we feel are the best in your area.

They have the best track record.

They have a long history of treating people the way you want to be treated, the way I would want to be treated, and selling your home the most effective way because they actually have a plan.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

The name kind of says it all.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

So doctors are now saying 86% of the people with coronavirus are walking around undetected.

They have absolutely no idea that they have it.

And that's why we're supposed to, you know, shut everything down.

Now,

Andrew Cuomo, who I just love, I just, I'm in love.

I hope he runs for president someday.

Don't say that out loud.

Oh my gosh, it's like saying Candyman three times in a mirror.

This is, is, I'm quoting Andrew Cuomo: this is not a war that can be won alone, which is why New York is partnering with our neighbor states to implement a uniform standard that not only keeps our people safe, but also prevents the state shopping where residents of one state travel to another and vice versa.

The governor said

essential businesses like supermarkets and gas stations are going to be able to stay open after 8 p.m.

All other non-essential businesses must close, including movie theaters and casinos.

Can you imagine?

Casinos are like the old people magnet.

You go to these casinos and they're all old people.

Casinos should be turned into hospitals at this point.

He went on and said, we've got to work together.

The feds have been asleep at the Switch.

Can somebody tell me how?

How has, can you help me with this, Stu?

How has Donald Trump been asleep at the Switch?

How have the feds been asleep at the Switch?

I mean, they tried to make this case early on, right?

When

a lot wasn't just Trump, a lot of people were kind of mocking this and sort of like downplaying it.

You know, some people were actually mocking it.

I don't think Trump was mocking it, but he was definitely downplaying it.

You know, it'll be a few weeks.

We have a few cases.

It's not a big deal.

You know, it'll burn out in April.

You know, but that was before people had an understanding as to where this was going, right?

As it's as you've seen a clear shift from not only Trump, but I think the entire federal government in the way this has been handled, and you know, and including many of the people who support Trump, who were kind of skeptical of this at first, have come around to it.

I mean, Trump is saying no more than 10 people should get together at any point in America.

I know.

Like, that's a big statement.

You know, Jim Gaffigan's got to break his family up.

Half his kids can't live with him.

I mean, this is insane.

It's insane.

So,

we had the very beginning of this and people were like, they're not doing enough.

Okay, well, every time he did something, you said it was racist to do.

Now the whole world is doing what he's done.

So every time he did something, you said it was too far or racist.

Now,

I can't think of anything else that they could possibly do.

that would stay within the bounds of the Constitution.

I mean, I think there's some things that are outside of the bounds of the Constitution right now.

The Fed is talking now about just sending people money.

Treasury came out yesterday and said, we're just going to send people $1,000.

Everybody gets $1,000.

It's like Oprah, except you don't even have to look under your chair.

It just arrives.

It's crazy.

Now, I heard on NPR this morning, I'm listening.

I listen so you don't have to.

And I'm listening this morning and they're like, the president just okayed a trillion dollars.

I mean, but what is that going to do?

I don't know what that's going to do.

I tend to agree with you.

Is that going to do anything other than bail out the airlines?

I mean, there are a few things for national security we have to have.

Airlines would be one of them.

Airline companies.

Boeing would be another one.

There are things that are in our strategic

defense that

we would like to have around, but also the idea that people are going to have money.

A million people might lose their jobs.

Just this month, a million people.

They're now talking about a possibility of 20% unemployment.

So, you know, between 20%, that's real numbers.

That's not the fake numbers.

I'm sorry, that is the fake number.

That's not the real number.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Stu's giving me a confused look.

The real number

is the the one, the shadow stats, where you actually look at all of the number.

And it's the way we used to measure it during the Great Depression, which adds points to the unemployment.

So if it's at 10%, the shadow stat is really, it's like 12 or 15%.

They're saying now the new Jimmy number is 20%.

That's approaching depression kind of numbers.

During the depression, it was 30%

in raw numbers.

So giving people some money might be a good thing.

I don't know what they're going to spend it on.

I don't know how you're going to spend it on.

Amazon is, I mean, check Amazon stock.

If Amazon's stock is going down, something is really wrong.

Amazon stock should be going through the roof.

So the governors get together under Cuomo and they say, you know, we've got to take care of this.

We've got to work together.

The feds have been asleep at the switch.

Uh-huh.

Then Cuomo says, It's chaos.

I think it feels like the country's out of control.

There's no clear direction.

There's no clear path.

Of course, there's no clear path.

We don't know where we're headed yet.

We don't know what this thing really even is yet.

There's no clear path.

What do you want?

We're all seeing our strongest and most direct actions taking place at the state level.

Now, listen to this, taking place at the state level.

I've said many times over the past several days in our state, we're going to get through this one because we're all family.

This is New Jersey's governor.

Yeah, crime families.

But if we're all in this together, we have to work with our neighboring states.

You know,

the work against Corona is not just to some of us, it's up to all of us.

Cuomo said he was calling the federal government to implement nationwide protocols, but in their absence, we're taking this on ourselves.

Dummy, that's what you're supposed to do.

The state has the right to do these things, not the federal government.

I love these people who are waiting around.

You know what?

It's the same socialist mentality that are saying, oh, gee,

we need to nationalize everything.

I've got a whole buttload of stats on who's actually doing things today,

where the

vaccine and all of this is coming from.

It's not going to come from the United States government, most likely.

It's going to come from a private business.

It's going to come, the answers are in people, not the government.

Oh,

I can't take it.

So they're now saying that they're going to put all these things in place.

And it's just essential business.

Well, can I ask you what essential business is?

Stu, if you had to define it, what is essential business?

Seems like when they're defining it in the strict way, it's grocery stores, it's doctor's offices, pharmacies, and banks.

Yeah.

In San Francisco, they also say exercise facilities.

I don't think that's essential.

I don't know about you.

No, I definitely.

If you look at me, you know that I do not think exercise is essential.

It's quite clear.

Maybe it's just us.

Maybe it's just us.

Maybe it's just us, you know, big marshmallow people that are like, no, that's not essential.

And everybody else is like, yeah, it is, brother.

Look at yourself.

Tasks that are essential to maintain health, safety, such as obtaining medicine or seeking a doctor, is

essential.

Getting necessary services or supplies for themselves or their families.

Food, supplies, pet food, supplies necessary for staying at home.

That would be, in the old days, that would have been a trip to the video store.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine living in a world where we were still all going to Blockbuster because the government had gotten involved and said, none of this internet stuff.

And we all had to go to Blockbuster and we couldn't?

Oh my gosh, we eat each other by the end of the week.

Let's see, getting necessary services, engaging in outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, or running, provided they maintain at least six feet of social distancing.

So you can go outside and you can run or walk.

Yeah, my kids aren't going to do that.

Nobody's going to do that.

I'm not doing that, certainly.

Who's doing that?

I was talking to an old friend of mine, Vinnie Penn, from New Haven.

He's on our station

at WELI.

We were talking about this yesterday, how our kids just look at walking like, what?

Walk?

I mean, I'm not one of those guys who are like, well, I used to walk 10 miles to school in the snow and it was up to my Adam's apple and we and I had no legs at the time and it was uphill straight uphill I mean it was a 90 degree angle uphill I'm not one of those guys but I did have to walk to school like a you know mile and a half my kids live about a mile away from the school

If I told them you got to walk to school, they'd be like, dad, I'm calling the police.

I think that's abusive.

Caring for a family in another household, that's also essential, caring for elderly and minors.

Shelter and place order also does not apply to those going to work in an essential business or an essential government function that includes essential infrastructure, including construction of housing and operation of public transportation and utilities.

So the construction sites can still work.

But do or do we work?

Grocery stores, farmer markets, food banks, convenience stores, businesses that provide necessities of life for economically disadvantaged individuals, pharmacies, healthcare stores, healthcare facilities, gas stations, auto repair facilities, auto repair facilities.

I mean, maybe if you're operating one of the city buses or something, nobody's cars breaking down.

You know how much money we're all going to save on gas?

Just at the time where it's like a dime a gallon, too.

Banks, garbage collection, definitely essential.

Hardware stores, plumbers, electricians, and other service providers necessary to maintain safety, sanitation, essential operation.

Educational institutions for the purpose of facilitating distance learning.

Laundromats, dry cleaners, laundry service, businesses that ship or deliver groceries, food, goods directly, child care facilities.

Oh my gosh, are you sending your kid to child care now?

I mean, if you have, if you're a parent and you have to, oh my gosh, can you imagine sending your kid to child care?

It's like, hey, let's have my kid sit in the the Petri dish in just a slightly warm oven.

It's like that all the time when you go to child care.

But we have a place that occasionally our kids get dropped off at and they've been, you know, giving us the update of how they're going to clean the facility more often and everything else.

They're still open.

But they're at the place now where they are picking up the kids outside.

So they'll come outside to your car so you don't walk in.

And they take the temperature of every kid before they go in.

And not to mention all of the cleaning and sanitizing that goes on like every nine seconds.

It's pretty.

How about little Billy who's currently blowing snot bubbles out of his nose?

I mean, there's always kids that are, you know, they look totally fine.

And then you start, you know, touching their hands and face and stuff.

And they've got snot bubbles and you're only touching their face to just take a

Kleenex and like, kid, wipe that off your face.

I mean, it's always, kids are always like that.

Roles required for any essential business to maintain basic operations, which include security, payroll, and similar activities.

The Northern California shelter-in-place order applies to San Francisco, Berkeley, San Mateo, San.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You don't need that in the rest of the country.

We must move aggressively and immediately.

The time for half measures is over.

History will not forgive us for waiting an hour more.

I hate that kind of talk.

Not good.

Yeah, no, I hate that as well.

Gusto give you another update because obviously 2020 is starting off in such a

positive foot.

There's been an

earthquake in Salt Lake City, looks like.

5.7 magnitude.

So the point of where...

5.7?

Pretty significant.

There's, you know, there's a lot of videos being posted where it's one of those things where you have a hanging light from your ceiling and it's swaying back and forth visibly type of situation.

I don't know how

serious it is at this point, but

5.7 is pretty significant, isn't it?

You definitely feel it.

Yeah, it's definitely feeling it.

Yeah, everybody felt it, certainly, in the area.

That's to that, it's to that level at least.

You know, that I don't know that.

So

a lot of people don't know this, but

the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, formerly known as the Mormons,

and still known by everybody as the Mormons, they went and

they

shored up all of the main structures

for the church.

And I think they made them solid for the Richter scale at like a nine,

something crazy.

Because, you know, in the end times, you know, you'll have earthquakes and everything else.

So they tried to make them as bulletproof as possible, you know, knowing that God could destroy anything.

You know,

building everything up to a nine, also, what people don't know is there's there's a tunnel system underneath most of Salt Lake City.

And the church has built this tunnel system and filled it with food.

I think they can take care of the entire population of Salt Lake for like a month or something crazy like that.

But I have to tell you, with the plague, you know, with the with the coronavirus sweeping the world, with the locusts and now earthquakes, I don't know.

You might want to crack open.

I mean, I don't think it's the end time, but then again, I don't think we're supposed to know when the end times are.

Maybe it's just me.

Can we stop with the earthquakes?

Please, Lord, stop with the earthquakes.

Let me know if there's a volcano anywhere, will you, that's going off today, or if there's a sudden appearance that everyone can see of a guy named Jesus.

All right, Bill is the type of runner who usually places second or third in his age group at races.

He lives in Colorado, and a lot of the races that he participates in

are in the mountains.

So it's not so much of a surprise that a year ago, and he injured his knees during a downhill section of the race, oh, that's worse, he was running more than 12 miles an hour.

Good thing that Bill understood about Relief Factor, and he began taking it daily.

But Bill's not the type of guy to let something keep him from doing what he loves, and Relief Factor was there to help him make that stand.

You know who's going to survive all of this stuff?

The people people that live around the mountains.

Because they do crap like this.

I get in the car and I'm like, I would have stopped a long time ago if I was a pioneer.

I was like, go west, young man.

Nah, that river, the Missouri, it's too big.

And then I hear there's mountains.

No, thank you.

Anyway, the people who are doing this, they're healthy.

Well, Bill continues to run his races through the mountains, knowing about and taking Relief Factor, he says, helped get his life back.

When taken properly, Relief Factor attacks the inflammation that causes much of our pain.

70% of the people who try it go on to order more, and it only costs $19.95 to start with a three-week quick start trial.

If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back, go to relieffactor.com.

That's relief.com.

A lot of people

in the country would be delighted to pay more in taxes.

Finding yourself speechless, listening to progressive arguments?

Arm yourself with the facts.

Arguing with Socialists, a new book from Glenn Beck.

Yeah.

Pre-order now on Amazon.

It's a great book too.

We'll tell you more about it coming up.

10 Second Station IV.

Sorry, just be a little tighter on that video.

So now we're talking about cash hoarding.

Yesterday it was people who are hoarding food.

Now it's cash hoarding.

Stu,

how is it that you are hoarding cash?

It's your cash.

You earned it.

They can always make more.

What do you mean by cash hoarding?

I guess that they're worried about a run on the banks, maybe?

People going in and pulling out lots of cash.

Didn't you say you had an experience with something like this at the bank the other day where they didn't really want to give you your money?

Well, let's just say in theory, I wouldn't say that I was going to get trying to get some money.

I believe everybody should, if you can, have a month's worth of cash.

What is it going to take to

have your family not have to go to an ATM for at least a week?

Can you have that amount of cash in your house or, you know, someplace?

What's it going to take to do a month?

Well, in theory, someone like me went to the local bank, which you know, I have great respect for.

Don't put your money into these big, huge banks.

Get them into a local bank.

And I said, Hey, I want to take out just this amount of money from the bank.

Ooh, I don't know.

Gosh, I'll have to call you back.

But I just want to withdraw.

Yeah, that's, I don't,

huh.

Now, I live 30 minutes away from the Federal Reserve.

It's going to take them a week.

Can you come in maybe on Tuesday?

I think we could get your cash by then.

Excuse me?

A week?

Really?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Yes, because now I'm hoarding cash.

All right.

Nobody sets out to have the information they pass back and forth stolen on the internet.

If they did, the job of the cyber criminal would be, you know, a lot easier than it already is.

The sad truth is, we let these things happen to us because we're complacent and we think that it's going to happen to somebody else does any of this sound familiar or that it's too complicated or it's too expensive which is why you need Norton 360 in your life because it's both affordable and simple it's an easy-to-use solution to the problem of cyber criminals stealing your information from your devices but with Norton 360 you get a VPN to help block hackers from stealing personal information and companies from tracking your online activities.

And then there's the bank-grade encryption.

We're talking about real-time security for all of your devices.

And even if it has, if you have a SafeCam, they have a SafeCam

to block people from being able to take over your webcam.

This is something that nobody else is looking into.

Norton 360 is already on it.

Get yours now.

Norton360.

Nobody can prevent all cybercrime, but they're the best.

50% off your first year.

All right.

Stock market just opened and looks like it's down again.

1,100 points, though, is all.

Just 1,156 points.

But that's it.

That's all.

It's not down 3,000 like the other day.

So, right.

You know, there's a bright side to it.

So I think we should do, I'd like to do a couple of things.

I'd like to bet.

They say you can never, you know, never call the bottom.

I'd like to take bets on A, who is going to be the first person in our building to

contract coronavirus.

Let's all say it together.

Jeffy.

Come on.

All together.

Jeffy.

Who's going to be the first to contract the coronavirus?

I'd like to have a little office pool.

And then I'd like to know, what do you think the Dow is going to end up at when we hit bottom?

And I don't think we're going to hit bottom until maybe

next summer.

When do we hit next summer?

When do we hit bottom really?

Yeah, I do.

That's something

that's going to go on for a while.

Completely different, too, than just a couple of months of the coronavirus scare, I suppose you're predicting.

Yeah, I'm just, I'm, you know, I'm looking at the,

you know, the predictions from the Treasury that we could have 20% jobless

and

we're going to be inside for at least eight weeks, and this thing comes comes back again this fall, unless we get a vaccine, and then we're going to be past it pretty quickly.

But we're headed for some, you know, some rough, rough times.

Good news is we're going to make it.

We all live, including Jeffy,

including my children, which is really...

Boy, I mean, I don't know about anybody else, but

I don't know how my wife does it.

She does this.

She's done this every day of their lives.

What?

Wearing on you a little bit, are they?

No, no.

No.

Oh, okay.

No, good.

Because nobody's got anything.

Anybody else?

No.

Yeah, we have no.

No.

It's fun when school is out because then everybody can come over and

stay all day.

And it's fun.

It's fun.

You know,

two or three weeks of it, it gets more fun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know what?

The only saving grace I have is

they will storm off in anger and go to their rooms.

You know what I mean?

My daughter, she's going through that age where they don't do that, they just lay down on the floor and kick and scream,

which is always fun because there's no escaping that.

There's no escaping that age.

And

man, I don't miss it.

I don't miss it at all.

No, at all.

Yeah.

All right, let me give you a couple of other stories here.

We're talking now, according to the Treasury.

We had Stephen Mnuchin go in and meet with the Republicans, the senators yesterday.

He said, if we don't give us a trillion dollars, does any of this sound familiar?

If you don't give us a trillion dollars right now, oh man, dogs and cats are going to be sleeping together.

It's going to be crazy, half dog, half cat people walking around.

You have to have a trillion dollars right now because this, he says, is potentially worse than the 2008 financial crisis.

Extraordinarily high unemployment, yada, yada, yada.

So he had to have a trillion dollars yesterday.

There's also something else the government is in talks with now, with high-tech.

U.S.

government is in active talks with Facebook and Google and a wide

array of tech companies and health experts about how they can use data gleaned from America's phones to combat the coronavirus, including tracking whether people are keeping a safe distance

just to stem the outbreak.

Well, I don't care.

I'm not doing anything wrong.

They can monitor everything I do.

They're just going to get bored.

That's all.

I don't care.

I'm not doing anything wrong.

This is the South Korean model of how they're responding to this thing.

South Korea doesn't have what I like to call the U.S.

Constitution.

No, they do not.

That's not

a notable difference between the two countries.

That's totally crazy.

It is.

Analyzing the trends in smartphone owners' whereabouts could prove to be a powerful tool for health authorities.

Now, what they're saying, love this, what they're saying is they're asking these companies to compile the data in an anonymous aggregated form,

which they can then use to map the spread of the infection.

But they don't want anything.

This whole thing that you can make all of the data anonymous is ridiculous.

I mean, right now, I know of two people that are leaving the areas where you live at a certain time time every day.

I can see that anonymous cell phone travel from, oh, your house to my studios at the same time.

There's only two people that I know of, and one of them lives in your house, Stu, and the other one lives in Pat's house.

I mean,

you can't take them and make them anonymous anymore.

You have too much data now.

Yeah, I think, too, there's a chance that this gets, let's just say we are all quarantined inside our homes for the next seven or eight weeks, right?

Picture the situation.

We are obviously at the end of our ropes.

Everybody wants to go out.

They don't won't let us go out.

It's too dangerous.

Then they offer us the out of being able to essentially opt in to this South Korean model, which, of course, we're not taking away your constitutional rights.

You're opting into it.

And this will give you a pass to be able to go out because in South Korea, they're letting people go and live their lives as normal.

They are just constantly monitoring.

And then, if you are sick, they will know who you're with because they've been monitoring you.

And if you're sick, they will quarantine you and make sure that you're out of the population.

It's almost like if you kind of like see what happened with airport security, right?

Where airport security is really annoying.

It's really annoying.

The lines are long.

They keep doing all these things.

I got to take my shoes off.

I got to take my belt out.

Hey, there's a chance to opt in to TSA PRI.

We can take that problem away from you.

So it almost feels like a wonderful solution to you.

You actually are excited about it.

And I'm very excited about TSA Pre.

I'm a member.

Well,

you know what's great, Stu, is even TSA Pre, that's a little slow.

But we have an option.

Just give me your retina scan.

Oh, the clear thing, right?

Isn't that the retina?

Oh, gosh, that clear thing is so bad.

Don't do clear.

Don't do clear.

Don't.

What were people thinking about the giving up your freedom for your security thing?

Was that supposed to be something that's really easy?

Oh, no, never do that.

And then at the first sign of trouble, we're all willing to, oh, yeah, it's for the public safety.

It's to keep everybody healthy.

I don't want anybody to get sick.

Well, wait a minute.

What about the giving up all your freedoms for your free?

I know, but

I left that pocket constitution I have in the little tray at the TSA thing, and I forgot to pick it back up.

So I didn't check it.

Is it in there?

I mean,

it really is

nuts.

And especially the federal government cannot do these things.

the federal government can't do it when the

when national security is threatened and the way we think of national security that's when the government and the the federal government and the president can be at the peak of their power but governors are at the peak of their power when the public health is at stake because the the the governor is the one that can do health restrictions but the federal government is they're being Cuomo is begging the federal government to do this.

No.

I don't want the federal government doing any of this stuff when it comes to telling us what we can and can't do in our own community.

That's our own communities and our governors that can do that.

Don't pass that off to Washington.

That's insane.

The other thing is, all of this stuff, they're going to send us free checks.

Okay.

Can somebody tell us what we're going to do with those free checks?

Because we're not going on vacation.

We're not going out clothes shopping.

We're not even going to a restaurant.

We're not eating out.

It's rent.

Right, it's rent.

It's rent.

It's all bills.

Right.

And so

I agree with that.

Being able to take care of rent, but that's not a stimulus.

That's just a cover the basics.

That's a universal basic income check.

This stuff is so dangerous, and here's why.

It's never going away if it is tied to this emergency, because this emergency today of the coronavirus leads to an economic emergency tomorrow.

And then that leads us to some other emergency.

So it's never going away.

What we have to do is we have to urge Congress and the Senate to reverse engineer this.

So in other words,

instead of giving us stuff, federal government, stop taking stuff from us.

That's what I want.

Now,

you might have to give some people a check because they lost their job, but everyone else just stopped taking it.

Because, and here's why I say this.

They'll never stop writing people a check as long as they understand they control the purse strings and they can make you afraid that somebody else is going to stop that check that you're now addicted to.

But I can guarantee you, the second they can start taking stuff from you, they'll reinstate that.

So, in other words, no taxes, no gas tax, no taxes at all

until the end of this crisis.

Put that in writing.

That'd be one of the most important.

No taxes.

Absolutely.

And they will end it because they will take that power back as soon as they can.

We have to put the onus on them to where they want to end this emergency.

You can't incentivize them for wanting to drag this emergency on.

So Congress and the Senate should be thinking in exactly the opposite way right now.

No, no, no, no.

We're going to stop taking things.

And when this emergency is over, you can start taking it again.

Don't give to people because they're all looking for their own little programs and their own special little things.

Nope.

No taxes.

Period.

No taxes.

And if we have essential things that are essential to our safety as a nation, then we can talk about a bailout on some of those things.

And if we do that, I think we weather this storm.

If we don't, we're into modern monetary theory, which if you don't know, if you don't know what that is, buy my new book.

It's called Arguing with Socialists.

There's a whole section in there about modern monetary theory.

I think we're already doing it.

You just don't know it.

I think this emergency has pushed the Fed into

modern monetary theory, which is, we just print it.

It doesn't matter.

We'll just print it.

Read about it.

It's on sale now at Amazon or wherever you buy your books.

It'll be in stores and I think two weeks from now.

It's arguing with socialists.

It's a continuation of arguing with idiots.

Same people, new arguments, double the laughs.

Arguing with socialists on sale now, get yours.

Hey, you got nothing else to do.

You're trapped.

Read it with your family.

It's great arguing with socialists on sale now.

All right, I've got some great news.

Here's a way you can get away from your kids for a while while you're all cooped up in the house together.

And if you don't do it, maybe your son will go out and do it and you can escape, you can escape the wrath of the teenager.

It's mowing the lawn.

Yes, kids, mowing the lawn.

There used to be a day when everybody would mow their lawn.

I understand most people don't mow their lawns twice a day, every day, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Son, I think that lawn needs to be mowed again.

Now, here's the thing.

I'm riding on the back of the Hustler Zero Turn Mower.

I just got one a couple of weeks ago.

It is fantastic.

Fantastic.

You will have a great time the whole time.

My only hope is that they don't catch on to what I'm doing when I say, no, no, it's a big, huge lawn.

I got a, man, I just didn't finish it.

Anyway, Hustlerturf has been making the highest quality zero-turn mowers since their advent, and they pioneered the design.

Their mowers are the perfect combination of speed and precision.

They're built like tanks.

They're built in America, and they're going to last.

Right now, Hustler is even offering a free year of extended warranty.

Try one of these.

Once you drive one, you'll thank me.

It's hustlerturf.com.

Go to hustlerturf.com.

If you're looking for a new lawn mower, this is the only option.

Check everybody else out.

Make sure you check out hustlerturf.com because that's where you'll end up.

Enter my name, Beck, in the box for the warranty offer details.

That's hustlerturf.com.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hey, congratulations to Oregonians.

You're living in a state where the Newport Newport police in Oregon had to come out and say, don't call us if you've run out of toilet paper.

That's not a 911 call, and we can't bring toilet paper to you.

Really?

Are we really down to that?

Can you imagine calling 911?

What's your emergency?

Yeah, I'm out of toilet paper.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It is a pretty

daunting situation if you're ever in it.

I mean, that is, what do you do?

There's only a few options.

I've never thought of, never thought of calling 911.

Never.

That would never occur to me.

Never.

What would occur to me is like, you didn't see that before you sat down?

What were you thinking?

Well,

we can all second guess.

We can look backwards, but I mean, we're looking into the future here.

We're out of to deal with a situation that's here right now.

We have somebody,

Congressman Thomas Massey, who I'm a huge fan of,

is

an engineer, electrical engineering, right?

Is that right?

He went to MIT.

He's really quite brilliant.

He just put out a warning out on

Twitter or his Facebook page.

When this is over, the greatest harm to society will have been the public's unquestioning acceptance of the unchecked authority of governments to force private behavior and disrupt economies.

I fear the action taken by our government will make FDR's internment of the Japanese Americans look like a light touch.

Wow, what does he know that we don't know?

We're going to talk to him about that, the response in Washington, what our response should be.

Oh, also, and FISA.

Can we get rid of FISA?

Please, Mr.

President, please veto this.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

$2,316.

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

It can derail you financially, not to mention how creeped out you are.

You know, there's a few congressmen that are really, really sharp.

One of them is Thomas Massey.

He attended MIT, bachelor's degree, electrical engineering, master's degree in mechanical engineering.

He's invented technology that enabled people to interact with computers using their sense of touch.

He has done all kinds of really, really important things.

He has 29 patents to his name.

And he is kind of a Ben Franklin kind of guy in Congress.

And he doesn't like like big government.

Well, neither did Ben Franklin.

He just posted this: when this is all over, the greatest harm to society will have been the public's unquestioning acceptance of the unchecked authority of governments to force private behavior and disrupt economies.

I fear the actions taken by our government will make FDR's internment of the Japanese Americans, quote, look like a light touch, end quote.

Congressman Thomas Massey on FISA FISA and coronavirus and the steps that we're taking in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Somewhere in America right now within the sound of my voice, there's a man standing over an ashy remains of a cold night's campfire.

The feeling,

feeling the stretch of the morning rush up his back.

Beside him on the ground, his grandson still lies in a sleeping bag, oblivious to the reawakened world and all of its splendor.

Kneeling down to prepare his coffee, the man feels another comfortable stretch.

That's the pair of Takovis boots on his feet.

Like the man himself, they speak the way of the cowboy, a way he's passing on to the boy in a sleeping bag with every outing just like this.

They speak of integrity, of the handshake deal.

A word is a bond, a timeless age of hard work and soul.

When you buy a pair of Takovis boots, that's what you're buying.

You're buying a statement of integrity and frontiersmanship, handmade, handmade with the finest leathers.

Takovis boots, they take 200 steps to complete, and they're twice the value of a similarly priced boot, but half the price of boots of similar quality.

When you wear Takovis, you're going to feel the cowboy inside come alive.

Takovis, Western Goods for your frontier.

Welcome to the program, Congressman Thomas Massey.

Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, this is quite a statement.

I fear the actions taken by our government will make FDR's internment of the Japanese Americans look like a light touch.

You want to explain that?

Tell me how you've arrived at that.

Sure.

I'm really disturbed at how accepting people are of some of the things that the governors are doing particularly my governor

you know they posted sheriff deputies outside of a man's home here in Kentucky because they said he tested positive and they wanted to make sure he didn't go anywhere what were they going to do if he came out and got in his car were they going to shoot him I mean

You know, this is what we're coming to, and it's very concerning to me.

You know, they've never done this if you have the flu or if you have AIDS.

Do they come to your house and put you under house arrest?

No.

So they need to have justification for this.

The man deserves at least due process, I think.

And it's just a harbinger of more things to come.

I'm used to seeing this in China, but I think we're going to see some of those disturbing videos of people being dragged, kicking, and screaming.

by people in hazmat suits.

I'm worried we're going to see that before this is over with.

So, Thomas, I am so with you.

So, now let's have an adult conversation where nobody's pointing fingers at each other and calling people names because I know you're more than capable of

having those kinds of conversations.

Here's

the crux of the problem.

We do live in a republic, so we should never expect that, we should never allow that,

and

we shouldn't endorse it just even by ignoring it.

However, we have this pandemic, and what do we do to make sure that people are taking it seriously,

especially because I think of the media.

The media has done, has so discredited themselves that people

who

believe in Donald Trump, they're not taking it as seriously because they think this is all just a media hoax.

How do we get people to comply without becoming China?

What do you suggest?

Yeah, we do need to take this very seriously.

And

I'm not saying that we shouldn't, so I'm glad you pointed that out.

Right.

At first blush, it would seem that dictatorships and communism, which its main feature is central planning, are at an advantage in an outbreak like this, right?

They're not constrained by a constitution.

They just,

you know, they tell you to stay put if they want you to stay put, and you do what you're told.

And it would seem like they have an advantage.

And so that's why I fear some of the reaction here by elected officials in the United States is to go in that direction.

But don't give up the free market.

We have a tremendous advantage here that they don't have.

The economic incentive to solve this problem is immense.

And if we free up the markets to do that, we could have astounding results.

If you deepen

people that come up with test kits, imagine if a test kit cost $5 and you could buy it now on Amazon.

And obviously, you'd have to retest and test because one negative doesn't prove that you're never going to have it, right?

But then you could go on about your life that day.

Take the kit, show somebody that you've tested that day.

Maybe it's on your phone.

and you could go about working in a restaurant.

And I know there are people who are asymptomatic who can spread the disease, spread the virus, but it's a fact that you have to have the virus to spread the virus, and a test should show that.

I also think we need another kind of test, Glenn, that isn't out there yet, and I'd like to see the free market work on it.

We need a test that shows whether you've had this virus and you've overcome it, you've recovered, whether you were symptomatic or asymptomatic, because those people are like super citizens right now, right?

There's no reason they should be stopped from going to work.

There's no reason they should be stopped for caring for the elderly.

And I know there's a question as to whether maybe you could get reinfected, but we're three or four months into this disease, this virus.

People, we need to answer that question too, but it seems highly unlikely compared to the general population that you could get reinfected if you've recovered from this.

So I think, for instance, if you go to a hospital and you get treated and you're recovered, you should get some kind of government ID that says, hey, I'm virus-free.

Don't stop me.

You know, these are some of the things that we could do.

It's almost like you should get a birth certificate once you've been through this virus, if it is the case.

that you have a natural immunity.

But we need a test to show whether you have those antibodies in your system, because that's important to coming back out of this.

Here's my question to every government official that's turned something off, right?

Whether they turned off our whole restaurant industry like they did here in Kentucky.

The question is: what model were you using?

Like, what's your plan?

And when are you going to turn it back on?

Like, don't tell me

you just shut down the whole restaurant industry on a hunch.

Show me the model.

People need facts and data, not reassurances from politicians.

So I agree with you.

Thomas, I have been trying to find the tripwires that our governments are using because I'm in business and I'd like to know what their tripwires are.

You know,

how do you know when to take it to the next level?

How do you know what are the metrics on this?

And I can't get them from anyone.

It really is like everybody's just going on a hunch.

And it's good to, you know, it's better to sometimes

to overreact in your personal life if it means just prepare.

It doesn't, it's not a good thing when a government overreacts.

We need to find that balance.

And I don't know what those, I don't know what those trip lines are.

I can't make heads or tails of them.

Right.

What are the tripwires for shutting things down?

But more importantly.

And turning them on.

Yeah, turning them on.

When are you going to turn them on?

Now, I do think that

a lot of reaction from the public and a lot of reaction from the government is based on fear of the unknown.

But I also think it's wise to be prepared for the worst case.

So the only way

we start narrowing down our response is we start getting more data and more facts.

Some government official who's turned something off needs to come out in public and say, here's the worst case, guys.

Here's the worst case.

And here's what we're going to do to bound bound that worst case.

So, Thomas, here's the thing that, you know, they're talking about every bill that's going through right now is said, you know, until the end of this emergency.

Well, there are national emergencies declared by Jimmy Carter that are still in effect.

So, when is the end of this so-called emergency?

And I do believe it's an emergency, but we are, we, by our steps, we may be saving lives, but we also, by our steps are destroying our economy.

And I think that thing's going to last for a very long time.

I think we're easily headed for a depression if we don't pull up and this doesn't end pretty soon.

So when we're looking at things, how hard will it be to get

the Congress and the Senate and the White House to think in the opposite direction?

Give money to those who have lost their jobs.

We already have that.

We don't need a new system.

Just open up the gates so anybody who doesn't have a job, they can go get that assistance so they don't lose their house or they can pay their rent and whatever.

But for everybody else,

I think we have to structure everything.

Instead of the government giving us stuff, the government has to stop taking things.

So in other words, let's say no taxes for the next eight months.

None.

No federal taxes at all.

And the only reason why I say this is if we say no taxes until the end of this emergency, oh my gosh, the people in Washington are going to be awfully eager to end this emergency.

But if they're giving us stuff, they have no incentive to end this emergency because it makes them popular with certain groups and people.

Right.

And most of the governors, you know, it's a free transaction for them to shut stuff down right now.

And I was looking for that tripwire.

When do they turn things back on?

And at first I thought, well, when the state workers don't get paid and they show up at the capitals, at the state capitals, because the tax revenue isn't there from the restaurant workers or whatever businesses will shut down, I thought that's when they'll turn it back on.

But then I went back to DC and I looked in the eyes of my colleagues and what I realized is that they're ready to bail out anything.

Airlines, state government,

individuals.

They're ready to bail it all out.

This may be the thing that breaks our monetary system.

And by the way, we can't.

And

breaks the capitalist system, breaks the entire capitalist system.

I think we're already operating on the modern monetary theory.

I think we're already doing it through the Fed.

Oh, everybody's a Keynesian now up in Washington, D.C.

And look, we could survive a 10% drop in GDP, but here's a question.

Could we survive a 10% drop in food production?

Because I've got local seed stores, a seed store, they sell fertilize and seed right now to the farmers that are planting their fields here in the next few weeks.

If they shut down, that's going to have a tremendous ripple effect, not just in the GDP, but in our ability to feed folks.

So the question that I think our politicians aren't answering and the epidemiologists, okay, they're doing a a great job of modeling what could happen in which scenarios, but they're not modeling, their models don't take into account what if the trash doesn't get picked picked up and rats start roaming

places in large numbers.

Well, I think

I just

read that trash collection is part of essential services.

There are some things that are not closed, and then most of them have to do with sanitary

and food production.

Yeah, well, look, when they shut down the restaurants here in Kentucky, guess what?

They also shut down about 70%

of the restrooms that the public uses.

I watched a guy with a service dog try to get into an Arby's,

and the door was locked.

And look, I've been to countries, large countries, and I don't want to be called xenophobic, so I'm not going to tell you which countries, but I've seen humans defecate in the streets, and diseases run rampant there.

And so, you know, I don't think our

governor intended to shut down all these restrooms, but he shut down restrooms.

I don't know what, where, I don't know where that individual who was trying to get into Arby's, by the way, he didn't go stand in line.

It's a drive-thru.

He didn't want to order food.

It was pretty sure to me.

I don't know what he did.

And I don't know if he was homeless.

Did he have a home?

Anyways,

you know, and here's the other thing, Glenn.

Is the government going to hold a gun to the sanitation worker's head and say, go to work today?

Like, if I know we're on the side where they say, okay, they're essential employees, so we're not going to stop them from working, but are they going to come around to the side where they're going to force them to work?

And to one of your other questions,

can you hang on for just a second?

Let me take a one-minute break and then come right back.

We're back with Thomas Massey here in just a second.

Let me tell you a little bit about American financing.

There's just not enough service providers out there that seem to be aware that you are busy, your time is valuable and important.

I love going to doctor's office and like the doctor is very busy and sorry, he's a half hour behind.

Well, I'm really busy too.

Would you take me if I showed up a half hour late?

People at American Financing understand and that's why they're open past five.

It's why they have weekend hours.

It's why they offer a digital mortgage product that you can complete your mortgage process online anytime, anywhere.

This is a custom company that understands you.

Custom low-rate loans and fast closing.

So, whether you're calling about getting a mortgage, refinancing one, or if you want to consolidate debt to avoid the high credit card interest, please do these things now with these interest rates.

It's crazy.

Call American Financing.

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

Please, we got you.

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

All right, 10-second station ID, then back to Thomas Massey.

So, Thomas, the thing that I'm really worried about, and I think you are too, is, you know, we always do really stupid stuff when we're afraid and when there's a national emergency, like rounding up the

Japanese Americans under FDR.

But I would also include the Patriot Act.

No, you're not a Patriot if you're not for it.

I was dumb enough to be for it during that time period because I trusted the government would never take and and abuse it.

We've seen now that they've abused it like crazy.

We see FISA and how they went after the president.

If they're willing to go after the president and lie about things with the president, what chance do any of us have?

It's now been renewed in the House.

I believe it's being renewed in the Senate.

Ben Renewed is just waiting now for the President's signature.

Is he going to veto the thing that

caused him so much trouble?

Well, he should veto it, and you're right.

The Patriot Act passed within four to six weeks of 9-11, a lot like this legislation is going to pass here with the coronavirus, okay, giving the government more powers.

That was two decades ago, and those unconstitutional powers are still with us.

They never went away.

It was a loss of constitutionally guaranteed rights.

And so here's the legislative rundown.

They passed I say they, because I voted no and I got up and spoke against it and railed against it, but they passed

a reauthorization of the Patriot Act.

By the way, they call it the Freedom Act now.

That's ironic.

They passed it in the House with a thin varnish of reform, okay?

But I say it's the Americans who got shellacked in that because it's not real reform.

Carter Page

would still have been spied on.

The President could still be

spied on in the ways that they were before but here's what happened just a few hours ago in the Senate okay the House bill went to the Senate with some thin reforms to it well in the Senate with by unanimous consent nobody even voted on this thing they just did a UC they reauthorized the Patriot Act with no reforms for 77 days Now the problem is that can't go to the president's desk unless the House passes it.

Well, the House isn't in session.

So what they're going to do probably today,

and I'm talking to you from Kentucky,

and I could go there and I could sit.

I've done this.

I've sat there for a week at a time, waiting for that five-minute period of time where they come and do something.

But they're going to pass something in the House probably today or tomorrow by unanimous consent.

They're not even going to give us five minutes' notice.

And nobody's going to vote on it.

It's going to be a 77-day reauthorization, a clean reauthorization.

Now, they're saying that's so we can come back and renegotiate this at some point.

But we've got this huge weapon of mass distraction, and I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of it, but it is corona is keeping people distracted from the Patriot Act right now.

And I fear

they're not going to reform it.

They're going to pass it and say, look, we've got to move this.

We've got to pass this and go on.

And nobody's even bothered that they're going to do it without a single vote in the House.

It's not even a voice vote.

It's called unanimous consent.

Holy cow.

Holy cow.

So can the president veto that?

Yes.

He absolutely could.

Willie.

And he.

Willie.

Yeah.

And he absolutely, I think he should, because then the negotiation gets.

Thomas, thank you so much for all that you're doing.

And keep watching the snakes because I think the snakes are, you know, never let an emergency go to waste.

And I think that's happening in Washington.

Thanks for keeping an eye on it.

Back in just a second with some really good news and somebody that I can't wait to introduce to you next.

You know, the last thing on earth guys want to do is talk to their doctor about AD.

That's not something anyone wants to do.

In nine months, we're going to have a lot of coronavies going around because everyone's home and this is what we expect now nine months from now.

And if you didn't take that step beforehand, what are you going to do?

You can't even leave your house now.

Basically the exact opposite of you're getting from everywhere else in the majority of Washington regarding the

did I did I almost say Wuhan virus?

Oh, I can't wait to explain that one tonight.

We're going to explore what's happening in our economy.

How is this all playing out with just the facts?

You'll have a new understanding of what we're facing and what we're dealing with tonight.

Also on the program, I have

Syrah Madad.

Now, she is a doctor and a senior director of System Special Pathogens Program for New York Health and Hospitals.

You might know her because she's featured in the Netflix documentary Pandemics.

I don't know if you've seen How to Prevent an Outbreak.

The timing on that one was extraordinary, but she is somebody who went out and fought Ebola and all of these others.

She's like a little, I think a little nuts where she's like, you know what?

Just got to go out there and do it.

And she lives for this stuff.

She's taking precious time away from fighting this virus to bring the latest facts and answer your questions.

If you have a question you'd like her to answer, something about this you don't understand or you haven't heard anybody address, please send your question to hashtag gbjust the facts.

Just tweet it with the hashtag gbjust the facts and we'll be live tonight at 9 p.m.

All right, I want to introduce you to somebody.

I saw this,

what, I think yesterday, an honor student at the University of Nevada, Reno created something after her mom mentioned that she should call all of the elderly neighbors to see if they needed anything during the pandemic.

So Jade Powell decided, yeah, we can do something.

So she started a GoFundMe page now because this is just

taken, really taken off.

By the way, I just got a note about the earthquake.

in

Utah.

Please, if you experienced that, I'd like to hear from you.

Just call us 888-727-BCK Let me get an update It was almost a six on the Richter scale.

It was a 5.7 on the Richter scale

so Jade decided she was gonna get some friends and she started with the girls in her sorority and they started buying groceries for the elderly people around their neighborhood and it is spread all across the country now.

She joins us.

Her organization she just started is called Shopping Angels.

Hi Jade.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

How are you doing?

I'm very good.

So tell me

what you now have.

I know this started with just a group of your friends, but what has it turned into?

It's been overwhelming.

We have had interest in starting local branches of Shopping Angels

in all four corners of the country, literally Washington, Maine, Florida, or just a few of the states.

We have somebody in Hawaii starting stuff.

We've got interest in Canada and even New Zealand.

So it's been really, really

overwhelming, but awesome to see how the communities have come together to try and make something for the community that is most at risk for getting sick because of the outbreak.

Okay, so now

what do you do exactly?

Let's say you want to volunteer.

What do you do?

What are you volunteering for?

So what is most common

is the

clients will contact me directly with like a shopping list of up to 10 items and

they also give me their address and then I will pair them with a volunteer that's in their area.

So once I find a volunteer that is in their area, I text them and I ask them, hey, are you able to pick this order up?

And then usually they say yes.

And they will go to the store and try to pick up the items that are on this list.

And then they purchase them at first out of pocket, and then they go and meet up with the client outside of their home.

And then the client just pays for the groceries themselves.

They don't pay for any delivery fees or any,

you know, they don't pay for the time that we spend going to different stores or anything like that.

And how many volunteers do you have?

Do you have any idea yet?

So we're still trying to organize

nationwide volunteers.

So we've actually created email addresses for

every state in the U.S.

And we have gotten some help from some companies in starting a form stack.

So we now are able to accept up to 100,000 people at a time.

So we're still trying to get the exact number nationwide.

But I know we have about 100 volunteers between Reno and Las Vegas.

And we do have some in the smaller cities like Loughlin and Gardnerville.

So

how do people contact you if

an elderly person needs help and needs somebody to go to the grocery store?

How do they find you?

Or how do you find them?

Yeah, so there's the form stack that you can sign up to volunteer for.

You can also use to request assistance.

So it's a really easy link.

It's on our Facebook page.

And you just click on it and it asks for your basic information like your name and your address and your contact info and then it asks you to choose whether you're trying to volunteer or request assistance and so that's how we're getting some of the requests right now

or you can email your local state email and just say you know this is our situation we really need some help and then the state coordinator we're still trying to get every state a coordinator but the state coordinator will then reach out to you in regards to trying to find a volunteer to pick up your order or try to help you out.

Jade, thank you so much.

I just wanted to give you a shout out.

I just think what you're doing is really, really great.

You're an honor student.

You want to be a nurse, do you not?

Or a doctor?

Where are you going after this?

Yeah, I'm a pre-med student, so I'm hoping to go to medical school in a couple years.

Great, great.

Well, good for you.

Sounds like you have your heart in the right place.

Jade Powell, and the Facebook address is facebook.com facebook.com slash shopping angels NV for Nevada, Shopping Angels NV.

Thanks so much, Jade.

They're trying to, by the way, they're trying to raise

30 grand on their GoFundMe page.

Just go to GoFundMe under the name Shopping Angels.

They're trying to raise 30 grand.

I think we can help them with that.

If you would like to donate to the people trying to help people that just cannot get out, anybody over 60 or they have a weakened immune system, that's who they're trying to help.

Facebook.com slash shoppingangels NV or go to their GoFundMe page right now.

This is what a free market does.

And this is the spirit of America that we have always had.

That whether anybody knows it or not, this is the free market.

You don't have to wait around for the government.

And this is so critically important because this is the kind of stuff that we are now talking about flushing down the toilet.

Anybody that says, oh, you know what, we got to get, we just have to have universal single-payer health care and we got to get rid of all these private companies and we should nationalize all these companies.

No, that kills this spirit.

You know, if socialism, if socialism had a theme song, I think it would sound a little like, a little like this.

You know, because it would be so contemporary.

You know, it'd be like you're walking around in bell bottoms.

Yeah, I'm a socialist.

Yeah, you'd be that popular.

You want to live a life where this is the music that's playing?

Because that's what it's like to live under socialism.

You're like,

can I access the internet?

Internet, dude, what's that?

That sounds like a crazy idea.

We're in the wild 70s.

Who needs the internet?

It's that kind of nonsense.

Socialism is a nice-sounding word.

I mean, who doesn't like being social?

But

it's not about being social.

It's not about sharing.

It really is

about killing that spirit that you just heard there.

Now, she might be a socialist, but she would be wrong if she were a socialist because she wouldn't understand what it really means to be a socialist.

Killing that spirit, killing that idea that, wait a minute, I can fix this.

I told you a story yesterday in

Italy where they were having a problem with the connections for the ICU valves that are in every hospital.

Without those valves, you can't control blood flow.

You can't control the flow of medicine, feeding tubes, and they were running out.

Somebody had an idea.

This is the capitalist system.

Somebody had an idea.

Wait a minute.

Can we 3D print?

They called a local company and said, hey, we're the hospital.

We're really having a hard time with this.

Can we for 3D print these things?

They said, bring me the thing.

They scanned it.

They 3D printed.

The hospital now doesn't have a shortage of valves.

That's the kind of entrepreneurial spirit.

And if you are an entrepreneur, if you get this, you're not a cold-hearted, ruthless, greedy jerk that's opposed to sharing.

You just think there's a better way of doing it.

And it has nothing to do with money.

It has everything to do with like what you just heard from Jade.

Somebody just saying, I can do that.

Well, hang on.

There's a problem.

I could fix that.

And not having to go to the government or wait for the government to approve.

You just do it.

That's what the free market is.

It's so hard to argue against socialists.

I have a new book.

We worked about a year on it, arguing with socialists.

And I kind of hoped that it wouldn't be relevant when it would come out.

I mean, it would have been a disaster, but I kind of hoped because I don't want socialism to be the thing that everybody's talking about, especially if they don't have facts, if you don't know how to argue it.

So we went to real experts.

We went to people who have studied socialism.

We went to people who, in fact, we have one guy who helped write the book.

He's a former Marxist.

I mean, he speaks that crazy upside-down language.

Arguing with socialists, it's a way for you to learn the capitalist argument and the Marxist argument and be able to argue and navigate.

And it's made in the

same way we made Arguing with Idiots, which is one of our best-selling books.

It's just a different bunch of idiots, I think.

And we've written it in such a way to where you could pass it to them.

We don't say they're idiots in that, although you and I both know.

It's something that you can read, get all of the arguments, or you could pass to them.

Now they're going to probably have a hard time.

Just show them the hundred pages in the back that's all footnoted because you'll find you know everything from Jacobin magazine to New York Times, all of the sources that are not Glenn Beck.

It's all there, all footnoted.

Arguing with socialist.

It comes out in a couple of weeks.

You can order it right now at amazon.com.

Amazon.com.

I think it's one of the essential services that they'll ship to you right away.

Get it now at Amazon.com and have it.

While you're a shut-in, you'll have something to read.

You can also get the online, or I'm sorry, you can also get the audio version as well.

Both of them available at Amazon.com and bookstores.

I think it's April 7th.

If we live that long,

and not because of the coronavirus, but because of all of the socialism that is currently taking place all across the country and especially in Washington, arguing with socialists.

Let me tell you about Life Lock.

There is an ever-growing list of ways that cyber criminals can get to your information these days, and sometimes I think we're so used to it, we barely even notice it as a danger in our society anymore.

It's like living in one of those places that, you know, gets natural disasters every day of the year.

And, you know, you're just kind of like, oh, yeah, imminent doom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Not going to happen to me.

I'm special, blah, blah, blah.

And then you realize, wait a minute, I'm living in San Francisco.

It is happening to me.

Anyway, cybercrime is a part of our everyday lives.

And it is...

a serious threat, especially identity theft.

Someone's identity is stolen every two seconds.

You could miss something if you're only monitoring your credit, especially your kids.

Your kids aren't going to use

their identity for years and years and years.

It's a playground.

Now, if you're only monitoring your credit, you're going to miss things, but LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats like your social security number on sale on the dark web.

And if there's a problem, they have agents that work to fix it.

That's the best thing.

Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but Lifelock sees the threats that you might miss on your own, and then their agents work to fix it.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

As if we don't have enough to worry about, there was an earthquake in Utah.

We're going to talk to people.

This is the biggest earthquake I since, I think, since the 90s in Utah.

It was 5.7.

And let me just

play this

video I saw.

You can hear a little bit of it.

It's a guy going down the house and he's seeing all of the lamps that are swinging

and he's kind of walking down the darkened hallway.

Wife is in doorway, son's in a doorway.

His son is underneath the kitchen table.

I mean, you can see this is such a this is such a little Mormon house as it looks like the table is set for the next meal.

They've got homeschooling stuff on the walls of the I mean, it's and everybody's in the doorway.

Yeah, we're set.

I mean mean everybody seemed to know exactly what they were doing now this could have been set up but i doubt it that's the way kind of the families are um but we have some people who experienced it today doesn't seem like it's a big deal like to get an update from the ground uh but 5.7 just to throw an earthquake in i mean why not why not you know what else come on throw it at we have a volcano going on can we get some leprosy maybe

i don't know san antonio can you help with the leprosy thing?

But she's one of the people that just goes in.

She's from the

New York University hospitals.

And she goes into all of the hot zones.

This is what she lives for.

She's taking about 15 or 20 minutes off tonight, right at that time, just to leave, you know, work.

I hate doing this to her.

Leave work so she can answer your questions.

Our daily stats come from Johns Hopkins, and they are as of 5.30 a.m.

Central Time.

Total confirmed cases worldwide, 202,000.

That's up from 185.

That's a big jump.

Total confirmed deaths worldwide, 8,000, up from 7,300 yesterday.

Total confirmed recovered, 82,000, up from 79,000 yesterday.

167 countries have confirmed cases, up from 162.

Four more have suspected cases.

How many countries are there?

There's 170, aren't there, Stu?

Do you know?

I mean, that number always fluctuates, but yeah, I think it's 170.

190?

Yeah, you know, a lot of times.

So almost every...

Yeah, the countries without examples, though, just aren't...

They're not testing in Madagascar, I don't think.

Correct, correct.

And all continents have it now, I think, except for Antarctica, which, hey, I'm willing to carry eggs on my feet if that's what it takes to stay, you know, free and

virus-free, yeah, I'll do it.

6% of active cases are now considered serious, requiring hospitalization.

That's steady from 6% yesterday, but down from 19% just three weeks ago.

The U.S.

now has 6,524 confirmed cases and 116 deaths.

That's up from 4,700 cases just yesterday and 93 deaths just yesterday.

The U.S., now all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.

and four U.S.

territories have at least one confirmed case.

West Virginia was the lone holdout and they got a confirmed case yesterday.

Doctors are now urging younger patients.

COVID-19 causes permanent lung damage to all survivors.

Doctors in Belgium treated several younger victims here recently.

They took a CAT scan and realized they are suffering from severe lung damage.

This validates or seems to validate a report out of Hong Hong Kong and Korea that even the younger victims who recover from COVID-19 may have permanent lung damage due to the scarring of the lung tissue.

20% permanent loss in lung function.

That's huge, especially if you're in 20s.

And you're going to lose 20% lung function when you're 20.

That's not good.

These are younger people, they say, did not smoke.

They have no other conditions.

They had nothing.

They got it.

They survived.

Then they got a chest x-ray or

a

CAT scan, a CT scan.

And when they got the CT scan, they realized, holy cow, there's real serious damage.

Yesterday, the president pushed for $210 billion free dollars every month to U.S.

adults.

President pressed Secretary Steve Mnuchin to give checks to $1,000 per person per month

to all Americans Americans starting in two weeks.

And when I say all Americans, all Americans except millionaires.

The $1,000 per month stimulus would cost $210 billion every month.

There are 209 million American adults over the age of 18.

Millionaires do not receive this money.

If you're bored during the COVID-19 quarantine, Dr.

Oz came out and said, I have an idea.

Have sex.

Okay, thank you, Dr.

Oz.

U.S.

hospital ships

have been activated now.

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper confirmed that two hospital ships have been activated, will be anchored off the east and west coast of the U.S.

Stu, can I just ask you a question?

Did anybody think, I don't know,

cruise ships?

I'm getting that.

Kind of a bad idea.

I think what they're doing with that is they're putting the people who are in the hospitals for other reasons on the ships.

For other reasons.

So they can clear out the actual hospitals for the COVID patients.

It's a theory, but I don't think they're in the case of the pressure.

Because the military.

Right.

Military doesn't have,

they're not prepared to deal with this.

They're, you know, trauma.

And so I think all the trauma is going on to those ships.

But once one person gets it on one of those ships, I mean.

They're going to be traveling around looking for a port to come in, you know,

without Stephen E.

D.

Gourmet doing the, you know, doing the entertainment.

Type A blood may be more likely to catch COVID-19.

People with type A blood, do you know what kind of blood you have?

Besides red?

No, no, I would say no.

I don't really know off the top of my head.

Those with type O also

are at risk, obviously, but type A,

significantly more likely to catch this according to China.

A study in Wuhan, the epicenter of disease, also found with type blood A, type A blood, you're more likely to die from COVID-19 with no clear indication on why that may be true.

COVID-19 now may be cured by an existing antiviral drug cocktail doctors in Queensland Center for Clinical Research that's in Australia, pressing Australian authorities to grant him leave to begin human clinical trials by the end of the month.

Professor Patterson, who is an infectious disease physician at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, said it's not a stretch to label the drugs a treatment or a cure.

He says it's potentially a very effective treatment.

The doctor did warn that even if the antiviral drugs prove to be effective, it may take months to get the studies through the human clinical trials.

We can test this in the first way.

Is anybody else thinking about all the tests that are going on and how we're rushing and then think of,

what is it?

I Am Legend?

Wasn't that the Will Smith movie?

The Omega Man

thing?

Wasn't that a

when they were trying to fight a virus and then they came up with a vaccine and it was turning people into vampires or something like that.

I mean, I just don't want to be a vampire.

Stu.

Of all the things.

I will promise to kill you if you turn into a zombie.

I'll shoot you in the head.

Will you shoot me in the head?

Will you be my friend and shoot me in the head?

Well, I didn't ask you.

Only if I'm a.

You didn't promise me.

So I.

No, I'll do it.

I'll do it.

No, I don't need to do it.

I'm not pretty sure.

There was not a request made.

Look a little like a zombie right now.

I'm glad we're social distancing.

Amazon right now.

Yeah, I know.

Amazon no longer shipping cheap clothes and knickknacks to warehouses.

Okay, I don't.

Can you define knickknacks?

I mean, because, I mean, who buys knickknacks?

Who's like on like, you know what?

I need a knickknack.

Nobody goes out to buy a knickknack.

I think knickknacks are just purchased, you know, it's an impulse thing.

Nobody, have you ever heard anybody go, you know what, I just got it, I just moved into my house and what it needs is some knickknacks.

No, no one, no one goes out to buy knickknacks, but they do fill your house on every shop.

They do fill your house.

But do you know that they're knickknacks?

I mean, Amazon might think that some things are knickknacks that I think are essential.

I can't think of any right now.

Well, I think they're just

they blew up as like they're not, Amazon's not going to be shipping anything anymore to houses, but I think it's just if you're a third-party seller, Amazon stores your things at their warehouses to send out, and they're not going to be doing that anymore.

So I think you can still order the knickknacks.

The knickknacks can still be purchased.

They're just coming to you at different points.

Good.

I mean, I don't want to panic on knickknacks.

I'm hoarding all these knickknacks.

First dog diagnosed with COVID-19 has died.

Now, when I first read that, I thought, Donald Trump has a dog?

Because he does not seem like a dog guy.

Oh my gosh.

If I had to attach an animal to him, I think I would attach a cat to him.

Don't you think?

He's more of a cat person, isn't he?

I think like an iguana on a leash.

Like you're just walking through.

A diamond.

A diamond leash.

Yeah, a diamond leash.

Carried by someone else.

I can see it.

Yeah, I don't think he's really an animal person.

Maybe he is.

But no, it's not the first dog.

It's the first dog diagnosed with COVID-19.

Can you imagine going to the center and saying, I need my dog tested?

I need my dog tested.

I thought they were clear that you weren't allowed to, or the dogs didn't get it.

And now they're saying they do.

I feel like they change this every two days.

And I know it's difficult, but it's really hard to figure out what to do.

Like, masks don't, they don't mean anything.

You don't need a mask.

They're not effective at all.

What kind of moron would be wearing a mask?

And then yesterday they were like, oh, yeah, by the way, you should definitely be wearing masks if you go out in public.

It's like, well, could we just

could we just, could we just go through some of this here on the, because the whole mask thing really kind of pisses me off

because they do make a huge difference.

The masks, exactly what Stu said.

Here is, this is from the New York Times.

Oh, yeah.

This is the headline.

Oh, yeah, masks really do work.

Oh,

okay.

So now they've come out and what they've said is, we just want want you to know that the mask thing, what we needed is we needed people to stop buying masks.

So we told everybody that masks didn't work.

I told you at the time, of course they work.

Why are they saying masks don't work?

And besides, we need them at the hospital to make our doctors feel better?

Doc,

this is a super secret special mask.

It makes you completely impervious to this virus.

Just put this on.

What?

Doctors wouldn't be wearing it if it didn't work.

Of course.

But they decided to go ahead and lie to us and tell us that these things didn't work so people would stop buying them.

It's so unbelievably irresponsible.

This is governments and media cannot do these things.

Yeah, they even admit it.

Just tell us.

They even admit it in the article.

I mean, in the story, they say, like, yeah, you know, it was good intentions and they just wanted to make sure that people were able to get them where they needed them.

They didn't didn't want people to go out and rush and get them.

So they just said they wouldn't work.

It's like, well,

good intentions.

It was good intentions, too, when we rounded up the Chinese.

Well, we're just trying to, or Japanese.

We're just trying to make sure that nobody, you know, no, good intentions don't count.

Yeah, no, that's not.

They don't count.

Yeah, not a good idea.

Not a good idea at all.

Healthcare workers across New York City are bracing for a surge of COVID-19 patients who need hospital care.

Everything is being rationed.

Send one nurse in a Queen's hospital where the floor was just converted to the first COVID-19 floor.

She said

it was empty two days ago.

Now it's full with two dozen patients.

We went from donning and doffing gowns.

That's a quote.

We went from donning and doffing gowns.

I've heard donning, don your gown.

Doffing your gown?

Who is this?

Who is this?

Somebody who has way too much stupid, like, literature kind of education.

Doffing, it's an actual word, should be used more often.

It's very different than donning a gown.

It's very prominent in gown culture.

Right.

What is, can you look it up?

Did you look it up?

D-O-F-F-I-N-G doffing.

Now it says, we went from donning and doffing gowns only in patient rooms to being told we can wear the same gown in two positive corona patient rooms.

Oh,

in other words, supplies are running short.

N95s are running short.

Those are being rationed.

Don't worry, those don't work, I hear.

Nurse said they may add many more beds to the ward as she works, and two or more floors in the hospital may be converted in the coming days.

This is why those hospital ships are going out.

You find dawning?

Yeah, it's doffing.

It's to remove.

We could have just said removing.

Dawning.

Ah, so donning is putting it on.

Doffing is taking it off.

That's how you can remember it really easily.

Yeah, that's great.

So,

you know, if you,

I hate to break it to,

you know,

Jane Austen here, but you could just put, you could just say, we went from taking our gowns and putting them on and off.

Arguing with socialists, a new book from Glenn Beck.

Pre-order now on Amazon.

10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Imagine me and Donald Trump with this coronavirus thing, where no matter what you say, no matter what you do, you lose.

I mean, at some point,

don't you just want to, if you were the president, just go, screw all of you?

Yes, well, I think he's there.

I think he's been there since December, maybe November of 2016.

But,

you know, I think he's there, and it's a situation where it's tough for him to win, right?

If he doesn't do enough, if he doesn't go hardcore and try to really be restrictive and do everything he can to stop this thing and it blows up, he's going to be accused of not doing enough.

If he does enough, and that means that we don't have a horrible, horrible situation here in the United States, he's going to be accused of doing too much.

I mean, that's kind of what he did at the beginning.

He was crazy.

He was panicking.

Yeah, with his China restrictions, they did that.

They're like, oh, come on, you know, restrict flights.

This is racist.

You know, it wasn't racist.

Obviously, all of the infectious disease experts now agree it was crucial

that that was done.

And it was clearly the right thing to do with Europe as well.

Now, every country on earth is doing it.

Today, they limited cross-border travel between here and Canada, which is, you know, not.

Thank God.

Well, I mean, both countries.

No, thank God.

I mean, people...

People are, you know, people are flying into Canada or, you know, might have it.

We're locked down.

I can't go to a restaurant, but you can come into our country on either border.

Stop it.

Stop it.

That's crazy talk.

It's kind of an amazing thing, and it really does lead to a situation where

this is going to be

something that the media is going to use against Trump no matter what happens.

And that's going to be kind of like the tough thing, right?

You have to kind of sit there as a real leader.

He's the president of the United States and he's got to sit there and say, I got to not care about any of this stuff.

And I think, you know, look, he doesn't care usually about what the media says, so he's in a good position to do that.

But it must be difficult, I would say.

You know, you're going through, you're trying to manage a nationwide and global pandemic.

And at the same time, every single thing you do is wrong and evil and racist and all the rest.

I mean, it's part of the gig.

I'm sure he's used to it by now, but it's not an enviable position.

So tonight we have a special on coronavirus.

And we have this world-famous doctor who is always on the front line.

And

I mean, I really want to know,

you know,

the rate of death

is

is shockingly low still, shockingly low for everything that's happening.

And yet Germany is saying there's going to be, you know,

millions dead.

70% of the population is going to get this.

A lot of people will die.

What makes us think that?

Why are we reacting this way?

Is the Glembeck program ground?

That's happening tonight on TV.

Make sure you join us then.

It stops with the ingrown hairs and all of these different things that you really hate.

The nicks, the cuts, the rash that you get from it.

Shave Secret is the way to avoid all of that.

It's going to save you a ton of money.

You don't need all those fancy things.

Let me take you to somebody who I have a ton of respect for who I think can really help us watch what the government is doing.

Daniel Horowitz, he is the Blaze podcast host, the Conservative Review, Conservative Review senior editor, really, really sharp guy, and doesn't trust these weasels in Washington.

has pointed out a couple of things.

I'll talk to him about his

latest article here in a second, but I just wanted to talk to him about his concerns about

what we're doing, what the government is doing right now so quickly without any real kind of authorization and discussion.

And I feel

we're going to regret a lot of this stuff.

Daniel, welcome to the program.

Great to be with you, and you're absolutely right, Glenn.

This is going to reverberate in our culture, economy, and security for years, if not decades to come.

So what are you seeing that really concerns you?

What I'm seeing is everything that we should be doing and should have been doing for a while, we are either not doing or did too late.

And everything that we shouldn't be doing, we're doing.

Kind of like 9-11, we're not learning our lessons.

We should be talking a lot about immigration, China,

foreign workers, sovereignty, travel, supply chains, deregulation in

obviously the medical field, all the things we need to resupply and make sure we have resources.

Instead, notice what we're talking about.

Just step back.

Massive infringement on liberty, check.

Welfare, increased check.

Endless trillion-dollar stimulus, check.

And even almost every city is now doing this, jailbreak, not arresting and letting out prisoners, which you would think is the most quarantined area.

You wouldn't want to let that go.

So, think about the reverberation throughout our cities of shops being closed and publicly and prospectively announcing that we are not going to arrest for burglary and theft.

This is a very serious problem that, coincidentally, it's all of the left-wing policy outcomes that they've been emphatically pushing recently are given to us immediately as the solution to a problem that was largely caused by the gods of open borders.

Remember, we knew about this for months.

I called on my show in early January for a complete suspension of travel to China.

I mean, they covered it up in China, but we knew a lot of what was going on.

And Glenn, think about this.

Until yesterday, we were bringing in refugees and asylums or bogus asylees at our border until yesterday.

You could cross our border in Canada legally

until yesterday.

Not only the refugees that we were bringing in from all over the world, the State Department was still doing that up until yesterday, but we're finally closing our northern border and our southern border and saying, okay, nobody's coming in right now.

That's a little nuts.

See, this is the problem, Glenn.

None of us want to be seen as not taking this seriously, and we certainly, as being pro-life, believe that life comes before even the economy or anything, and we're willing to do whatever it takes.

But I think therein lies the problem.

We can't trust our government.

We don't trust our institutions.

And part of the problem is the very CDC that is saying, that is declaring a nuclear winter, but then somehow a massive bailout is going to help to stimulate a nuclear winter when you're not working,

they had no problem in January with, I don't know how many, but countless thousands of Chinese students, because we have about 400,000 of them in the country, traveling back from the new year for the new semester.

The university certainly didn't have a problem with that.

And now suddenly we have a travel ban virtually outside our doorstep.

So, you know, from one end to the other, it's very hard to take that seriously.

Well, it's hard to take it seriously, but this is the problem.

This is why our federal government is supposed to be small, because when you have so many hands, one hand absolutely does not know what the other hand is doing, and it's impossible for somebody to get their arms around something this large.

That's why the federal government has to be reduced in size.

It's not necessarily

incompetence as much as it is the incompetence of every giant

federal system.

They're built this way.

That's operating the best it can because they always suck.

No, exactly.

And what's amazing is Madison called this play in Federalist 45 when he laid out the job of the federal government is few and defined, primarily applied to external objects, external national security and states governed internal affairs.

And he said the more the federal government will focus on its core job, the less tyranny you'll have.

And you really see that here.

What we need is things that come in from that are deleterious, whether it's crime, drugs, national security problems, terrorism, and pandemics, from abroad.

That is their job.

And likewise, another thing with the spending.

We're looking at CDC and NIH.

They have record high budgets.

HHS, record high budgets the last few years, blowing out Obama's spending levels, by the way.

And now they say they have no money.

But if you look into their budgets, very little of it is for what the federal government should exclusively be focused on, which are things that are outside the scope of the states and the private sector to deal with, like a pandemic.

It's all about

obesity and all sorts of health this and health that, getting involved in things they either shouldn't do or the states should do.

And then the little they have on contagious diseases

or at least epidemics is for HIV, which, let's face it, is certainly a lot more preventable than this.

So, Daniel,

could you do me a favor?

I just think somebody needs to be a watchdog, and this is right up your alley, and I know you're already doing it, but I'd like you to check in with me from time to time and really go over these bills that are being proposed.

I said earlier

today that we need to reverse this.

Instead of the government coming coming up with new things

they can and should do for us, they should stop taking stuff from us instead.

And here's why.

If they want to write a check, $1,000

to everybody, oh, okay,

well, there's no incentive for this to end.

They all say, well, when this emergency is over, there are emergencies that were started and declared by Jimmy Carter that are still on the book.

And what are the metrics of how we know this ends?

They're never incentivized to stop any of this stuff.

Instead, we should build in to the bills that

way things that will incentivize them to quick hurry up and say this isn't a national emergency.

For instance, no taxes.

No American pays taxes for the next six months.

Don't send any checks.

Just no taxes, period, for the next eight months.

They won't do that because they know people won't want to go back to paying taxes.

And the second thing, the second reason is they get nothing out of it in the end.

They'll have to instead, they have to, because you have to have taxes.

They're going to have to make the pitch, okay, this is over, and we're going to have to start taxes again.

Where they don't want to do that, there's no win for them.

But that's exactly the point.

Stop taking, or stop taking taking stuff.

Don't give us stuff.

Just stop taking it from us.

And also, to speak to your point, it doesn't address what's going on if you just give a handout not to work.

Because think about it.

You're not going to stimulate anything if no one's working.

And moreover, if they're telling us this is three to six months, you could write a $1,000, $2,000 check to everyone.

Now, do the math there.

That doesn't come

anywhere close to covering three to six months of income for anyone, almost anyone, really anyone.

But what it does do is it will bankrupt us.

It's tremendously costly on a macro level, but at a micro level, it really doesn't do much.

Whereas if you cut taxes or suspend taxes temporarily, you get people working.

You can't have a nuclear winter in the economy.

This is not even like 2009, where at least if you're a Keynesian and you believe in stimuli, there's something to stimulate.

Here, there's nothing to stimulate, but Republicans aren't asking questions, and you're right.

We need a watchdog.

All right.

So, would you just be our show's watchdog, Daniel?

Could you just watch these, read all these bills that are coming through, find out, and just alert us when you're seeing stuff that just is got to stop, that is just crazy stuff that they're doing?

Would you be willing to take that on for us?

Absolutely.

These are jobs that

Americans won't want to do, and we don't have Chinese and Mexicans to outdoors to do.

So, all right.

So, we got Daniel.

We got you.

Daniel Horowitz, our Blaze podcast host of the Conservative Review.

He lives for this kind of stuff, so he's on it.

So you will be.

Back in just a second.

All right.

The Dow shed over 7,700 points over the last three months.

That's 27% of its value.

Not good.

What is it down now, Stu?

I was looking at that.

It's

1,300 again today.

Down 1,300?

Yes.

Jeez.

Jeez.

We're approaching 30% of the Dow's value.

Gone.

Yeah, and

we're at almost exactly where the Dow was when Trump took office.

So

all of the gains are gone.

All right.

So gold has increased over 10% in value from $1,460 per ounce to over $1,600 an ounce.

It peaked over $1,700 until people who are so leveraged beyond their means had to go cash in.

This is my guess.

They had to go cash in their gold.

This is what happened in 2008.

Gold line, I've been telling you for a long time to have gold.

Please, please consider having part of your IRA and your retirement in in gold.

You can do that now.

Call them, and they will help you move some of that money into gold.

You should have physical gold near you, with you, because you just don't know what's on the horizon.

With the money printing that is going on now, we're in real trouble.

Please, please, I beg you, call Goldline.

Talk to them about your retirement accounts.

Call them and ask them about if gold or silver is right for you.

Do your own homework.

You're going to get a free silver bullion coin just for talking with them today.

So call them 866 goldline, 1-866-Goldline or goldline.com.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Tonight's television show is all about one thing, the facts, the exact opposite of what I think you're getting from the media and the majority of Washington regarding the coronavirus.

Tonight, we're going to explore what's really happening in our country.

Can we sustain this?

I interviewed tonight live Dr.

Syrah Moudad.

She is the senior director, system specialist pathogen program at the New York Health and Hospitals.

She helped fight Ebola.

She's featured prominently in the Netflix documentary Pandemics, How to Prevent an Outbreak.

She's taking her time away from fighting this virus to give you the latest facts and answer your questions.

You can see it live tonight, 9 p.m.

Eastern, Blazetv.com.

And of course, always on demand for our subscribers at blazetv.com.

That's hashtag your question to hashtag just the facts.

Just the fact I'm sorry GB just the facts

but let us know what you want to know I I've got some real questions on

the numbers

you know France is probably the next thing France is looking really ugly so is so is Germany England is looking really ugly but

Why do we think that millions are going to die when

China didn't have that.

Why are our numbers in the West expected to be so high?

Does that make sense to you, Stu?

It's a good question, and it's probably the most optimistic look at this: is that if China was able to limit it to 80,000 cases in a country of 1.3 billion,

why would we be facing this?

The answer to that typically is, well, they just shut everything down and they started welding people into their apartments, which is not necessarily what we're going to do here.

But once you let them back out, I mean, don't they infect everybody else?

Yeah, won't they see this flare back up right away when they start opening the doors in the factories?

And that's what they're doing right now.

So we will see if that happens.

So far, it hasn't seemed to happen if you believe China's numbers.

And that's a whole nother thing.

I mean, we know they lied about the disease at the beginning.

We know that they

hid evidence from people who are trying to solve these problems.

Who's to believe that they don't have another 500,000 cases in some camp somewhere that we don't know about?

Wouldn't be surprising.

We'll get just the facts, the answers tonight.

Blaze TV, that's at 9 p.m.

Watch it with your family tonight.

This is the Glenbeck program.
