Hello, America.

It's It's Friday.

Great show for you.

A little COVID, you know, 19.

I don't know if you didn't have COVID-18, 17, and 16.

I don't know if you'll understand COVID-19, but we'll give you our coronavirus update.

And I want to kind of bring you and set the mood and bring you into what it must be like in Seattle now.

They're saying this is the capital of America for COVID-19.

What a surprise.

I actually am surprised.

I thought it, if you were looking for a capital of disease, wouldn't you have thought it was San Francisco with all the poop on the streets?

But it's Seattle, who has his own share of poop on the streets.

So congratulations on that.

We begin with COVID-19.

Also, the latest numbers.

I think there's a reason why Bernie Sanders did so poorly in the latest poll in Florida.

We'll give you that and so much more, including Bill O'Reilly.

And it all begins in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So, I'm a small businessman, and I talk to small businessmen all the time.

And the one thing that I know to be true, if you are starting your business or you're running a business, if you can't keep track of all of your numbers because of the high pace of today's business, if you don't know what's coming in, what's going out, what the customers are saying,

what is HR saying,

if you can't look at how we're pacing year over year, et cetera, et cetera, you cannot make make decisions.

You're bluffing every second.

This was one of the biggest problems I had with the Blaze: I couldn't track all the numbers.

Well, you can now.

So, if you draw two dots over a parentheses, a face appears all of a sudden.

We know that because it's a sideways smiley face if you're doing it online.

You'll see the smiley face in the lines and the circles.

It's amazing.

When we see scribbles on paper, we can easily assign that meaning and give life to an abstract symbol, an icon lacking any detail or realism.

And we infuse that with

universality.

And the less detail that an image or a drawing or a painting has, the more we complete it ourselves, the more personal it becomes.

Our eyes blend colors,

but our brain also fills in all of the missing details, and we see ourselves.

Somehow or another, we see a smiley face with a colon

and a parenthesis.

It's an oddity of the human mind.

And for now, this anomaly is keeping me hopeful.

As hopeful as you can be, approaching a coming storm and that cloud of COVID-19 on the horizon.

This is the coronavirus.

It already is a global pandemic.

I don't think anybody wants to call it that because then there are legal responsibilities with a pandemic.

But that's what this is.

And most of the victims of COVID-19 have remained unknown.

They're just statistics.

We see these numbers every day.

They're forebodings.

Their identities have been redacted for obvious reasons.

And we're only given slivers of detail.

So we are filling in the rest of the picture.

Next Wednesday night, I'm doing a special on coronavirus.

We've delayed some of the other specials that we were going to do.

And I'm going to do another special on coronavirus and fear and why we fear this so much and it is because

while we say we've never seen these things before we have actually we've seen them in in apocalyptic TV shows and apocalyptic movies and so that's helping us fill in these blanks

I want to tell you the stories of Those who are afflicted with the virus, the doctors and the nurses on the front line.

But today, I want to tell you about about the unknown man, because the unknown man is all of us.

Because the unknown man really goes through his whole life never thinking about particles or the invisible life forms that are all over him all the time, floating in the air.

Perhaps he never had a chance, in part because he showed no symptoms, no fever, no telltale, dry, windless cough.

And either way, he likely assumed it would be fine.

It's a scary thing, but it doesn't happen to me.

It doesn't happen to him.

Same as all of us would,

this 21st century America, land of luxury and good doctors, and we're not having bat soup.

It can't happen to us.

It's kind of like what it must feel like in California.

You build these incredible houses

and then they burn to the ground.

It's not going to happen.

Well, the rest of us go to California, we see these houses on these sticks on the side of the mountain, and then we see mudslides and we're like, hello.

But those who build those little houses on popsicle sticks, they're like, it's not me.

The unknown man has two lines.

Parentheses.

He is us.

He knows that you can find crab cakes and great beer at most of the 48 concession stands and the restaurants and the lounges at Century Link Field, the noisy 70,000-seat stadium just a mile south of downtown Seattle.

Century Link is home to the Seattle Seahawks as well as the Sounders.

On Saturday, February 22nd, it hosted a football game between the Seattle Dragons and the Dallas Renegades.

Week three of the inaugural season of the XFL.

Professional Football League founded by WWE owner Vince McMahon.

That day, Dallas was in Seattle, and it was brisk.

It was 48 degrees.

22,060 people gathered for the game.

Nobody was thinking about the virus that was right there.

No one noticed the invisible particle that nobody thinks about, that was eager to pounce, eager to feast.

At the same time, there was no doubt that the virus was on their mind, at least some.

Something that we're all well aware of, the coronavirus disease, the outbreak, clawed its way into our collective psyche.

Even kids know about it.

Everybody knows about it now.

But back February 22nd, nobody was really paying attention.

Our unknown man works part-time at one of the 48 concession stands at Century Link Field, and on that day, He contracted the virus, but he didn't realize it.

A week later, he tested positive for COVID-19.

In response, King County officials released a statement advising that no extra precautions are required for those who attended that game February 22nd or anybody who is attending upcoming events.

But remain on watch.

Meanwhile, the Dallas team came back

to Dallas.

To a whole new stadium of

unknown men and women.

An op-ed in the New York Times yesterday describes Seattle as America's coronavirus capital.

Of the approximate 220 cases of coronavirus in the U.S., Washington has 75 of them.

10 people in Seattle have died.

California has had 60 cases.

New York, 22.

Texas, 14.

As of yesterday, 56 new cases emerged.

Coast to coast.

The first signs of the virus appeared in Seattle sometime in mid-January, where a man returned from Wuhan, China.

He was diagnosed, was the first case of the disease in the U.S.

Now, globally, the number has climbed to over 100,000, but 100,000 is not the real number.

We don't know what the real number is.

We don't know what the real fatality rate of this is.

It's at 3.4% now, but it is probably much, much lower

because

that invisible particle has been floating around in all of our cities.

And there is no test that you can get from your doctor.

Right now, you have to go to a university hospital, or you have to go to one of the big regional hospitals, and it's getting better.

But we still have tested less than what, a thousand people?

They say the fatality rate is less than 2%.

That's when all the numbers come in.

It's deadly,

but not for everybody.

For reference, Ebola has a fatality rate of about 25, anywhere between 25 and 90%.

So you have,

a best case scenario, you have a 25% chance of dying.

If you got Ebola, and it's a wicked, wicked death.

The thing with Ebola is it's not easy to spread.

If you remember,

we did a little cartoon when Ebola came to Dallas and came to America, and it was don't touch somebody's pee-poop or vomit.

That's pretty much you have to.

If somebody is bleeding from the eyes, don't touch them.

That's pretty much what you need to know about Ebola, and you don't get it.

On Tuesday, the CDC announced the virus is contagious enough that a global impact is inevitable.

It's too late to stop it now.

But what we're doing now is stopping it from infecting all of our first responders.

We need our doctors.

We need our hospitals.

That's why they're asking 2.2 million people in Seattle to stay home.

The director for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases yesterday said people should begin to practice social distancing measures.

What is that?

Social distancing measures.

That's stand three to five feet away from each other.

And also cancel school, postpone conferences, avoid large gatherings.

That's what we should begin practicing now.

If we don't have this burnout during the summer, And we don't find a vaccine for it in the next six to 12 months that is actually in practice, this could change relationships forever.

Things change.

It's like a war.

When you're fighting a war, you never really go back to the country that you were

because you just want it to stop.

And things change.

We would have never accepted any of the things.

FISA, the FISA courts, secret courts, we would never have accepted that.

But after we were bombed, we did.

In fact, we all dutifully take off our stupid shoes every time.

We're giving the TSA a retina scan.

That's the dumbest thing ever.

But September 11th changed us.

How this will change us in the world, I don't know.

Now in King County, it's too advanced for mere precautions.

Not only did they ask yesterday, King County, that's the Seattle County.

Officials announced plans to convert a local motel into a quarantine site.

It's actually pretty smart, but nobody wants that in their neighborhood.

Not in my backyard.

You're going to put those people where?

This Saturday, Sounders,

Seattle's

major league soccer team,

they're scheduled to play the Columbus Crew.

When news broke out about the concession stand worker, representatives of

King County were quick to remain calm.

They said, quote, as of now, Seattle's professional sports organizations, Dragons,

First and Goal, Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders, they're going to continue with their scheduled events.

But how many of the unknown man

are going to attend?

How many of the unknown man

are going to do the things they used to do as we all navigate our life the best that we can.

Maybe

a dark glow enshrines him as he looks out to the world.

A world that doesn't realize that he, the unknown man,

what he's become.

In moments of

lingering catastrophe.

It's important to remember

the collective self as well as the individual self.

The unknown man, while blank and simple and abstract to us, he's a member of our tribe.

He, like a growing number of people, became infected, got trapped in lingering shadows that keep him now unknown.

But while we may not know the

names and the places and the people themselves, they are not so different than you and me.

Spring's just around the corner, and you know what that means.

It's lawn mowing season.

If you're looking to upgrade this year from your slow push mower, tired old riding lawnmower, I have some really good news for you.

Hustler turf zero-turn lawnmowers are here to change your life and change your life.

They will.

Hustler turf engineers, it's mowers to outperform.

They have been testing these things and building these things for 50 plus years.

They have spent thousands of hours just perfecting just the steering system.

When you come to a corner, man, there are no corners.

It's zero turn.

You just rotate.

It is...

It's a sweet ride.

I'd like to take it on the highway, quite honestly.

Your neighbor is going to look at your yard and think that maybe you hired a professional landscaping crew.

The most important thing of all, you're going to look forward to cutting your grass and you're not going to spend all day doing it.

I want you to go to hustlerturf.com and click on the radio offer button right now.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right.

Brian Williams was on television.

New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay

was on with him.

Both Williams and Gay marveled on air at the reaction to a Twitter user's post about Michael Bloomberg's campaign spending.

Here's the thing.

The Super Tuesday Evening Post, now deleted, said Bloomberg spent $500 million on ad.

Do you know the story yet, Stu?

Yes,

this is incredible.

I was hoping you didn't because I wanted to see if you'd just catch it immediately.

Bloomberg, which you would have.

Bloomberg spent $500 million on ad.

That means with a U.S.

population at $327 million, he could have given each American a million dollars and still had money left over.

I feel like a million-dollar check would be life-changing for people.

And he wasted it all on ads and still lost.

Incredible.

Incredible.

This actually made it to television.

Right.

And then Williams said, wow, that is an incredible way of putting it.

I think we have the.

Do we have the audio of this?

Do you have the audio?

Don't play this audio.

Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads.

U.S.

population, $327 million.

Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math.

He could have given each American $1 million and have had lunch money left over.

It's an incredible way of putting it.

It's an incredible way of putting it.

It's true.

It's disturbing.

It does suggest...

you know, what we're talking about here, which is there's too much money in politics.

There's too much money in politics.

There's too much money in politics.

Really, just a week ago, you all were saying, hey, hey, Bloomberg's money could be really important in shutting down Sanders.

It didn't.

It didn't.

Now, did it?

You can't buy an election.

Tom Steyer tried to buy an election.

Couldn't do it.

Bloomberg spent more money than Hillary Clinton did, not just in the nomination race, but the entire race total.

Bloomberg could not buy the election.

What do you mean there's too much money in the election?

It's so ridiculous.

And, you know, one easy way to do the math here is if you're giving a million dollars to each person and the number is $500 million, the word before million is 500.

So he could have given 500 people a million dollars each.

It's very difficult math.

500 million people have got $500.

The total, I believe, is the number I keep seeing, I haven't done the math.

And I've heard $327 trillion to actually do a million to everybody.

the actual math is, you know, when the New York Times comes out and says, it is an incredible, and it's true.

Yeah.

No, it's not.

He could have given everybody $1.53.

That's what he would have given everybody in America $1.53.

I don't know about you, but that's not life-changing.

I don't know about you, but that doesn't change my vote.

Somebody comes up to me and goes, look, I tell you what, you vote for me, I'll give you $1.53.

Do you even stop?

No, right.

You even stop.

You're like, okay, crazy man.

Okay.

It's such a ridiculous thing.

Like, how could you just not inherently catch that immediately?

A million dollars to each person, 500 million.

Like,

500 million.

Like, it's 500 millions.

There's 500 piles of a million dollars.

You can give 500 people $1 million.

No.

No, Stu.

No.

If he would have done that to every single super delegate, maybe he would have had something.

Yeah.

I'm going to give a million dollars to every super delegate and I'll still have money left over where I can give everybody less than $1.53

or less than, which is slightly less than a million dollars for every American.

Thank you, New York Times and NBC.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I want you to picture in your mind's eye the perfect real estate experience.

You have it?

Does the person who's helping you sell your home or buy a home or both walk into the house, shake your hand, and then get a confused deer in the headlights look?

Maybe pause in the middle of the conversation, take a call from his other job?

Or does he walk in the door, shake your hand, immediately take charge of the situation, get down to business of helping you in the best way possible because he clearly knows what he's doing.

Welcome to it.

Pat Gray is joining us now.

Hello, Pat.

Hi, Glenn.

Hi.

Welcome to Friday.

Glad you're here.

Yeah, me too.

Bill O'Reilly is coming up.

I don't think he is, actually.

Oh, he's not?

No.

I didn't plan anything for the second hour.

I was just going to let him blab.

I was going to go for breakfast.

Oh, we have breakfast now, though.

We do?

Yes.

Actually, the only reason I came in today was because of this.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I have COVID-19.

So I was thinking, should I stay home?

And then I thought, no, today's the day

we're testing all the Wendy's breakfast food.

Ah, okay.

So that's the only reason I'm...

I'm also confirmed.

You are confirmed?

I'm unconfirmed.

COVID-19.

Stop it.

Yes.

Stop it.

Both of you.

Both of you.

Stop it.

Why?

First of all, tell the truth.

Pat has COVID-10.

I have COVID-19.

Together, we have COVID-19.

Okay.

You haven't been tested yet.

So don't claim your badge of the crown

until you actually awarded that.

Okay.

Some of us have worked hard for our COVID status.

That's true.

So Wendy's is making breakfast now.

This is a big deal.

It's a big deal.

Yes.

Wendy's is making breakfast first.

Well, I think it's the third time they've tried it.

Is it really?

Yeah, they tried it.

They had a couple test runs that did not go well, apparently, a few years ago.

But they're trying it now.

And if you notice,

every other commercial on TV is for either Burger King or McDonald's breakfast, which because they're all just trying to like.

Isn't McDonald's giving breakfast?

Holy cow, this is the carb-free option.

That does not look good.

Wow.

This is common.

Breakfast is harder

than you think.

I mean, this makes me always think McDonald's does such a good job with breakfast because I remember when Taco Bell launched breakfast, I was so excited about it.

Really not not good.

Oh, really?

I mean, no.

Are they still doing it?

I think they are.

I can't imagine anything at Taco Bell not being good.

I mean, everyone.

I love Taco Bell.

I love it.

I love it.

I love the people.

I love hanging out there.

I am not eating this.

I am not eating this.

I guess you are.

It was a taste test.

Okay, so what do we have here?

No, I'm not.

Oh, you got sausage, you got some egg, and you got bacon.

Yeah.

What are you complaining about?

I don't like it.

Looks delicious.

No, it does not.

It's

exactly the right color.

I'm not eating it.

You're even going to try it?

I'm not going to try that.

Seriously?

Nope.

Nope.

Wow.

I would not.

Based on their carb-free, their carb-free option here of just

a square egg, a square piece of sausage, and some bacon.

This is just no sausage.

What is the deal with the square thing

at Wendy's?

It's strange.

But

this is a

chicken and bacon croissant.

Chicken and bacon is just a real

lunch or dinner.

They're French fries.

I'm sorry.

They're hash browns.

They're French fries.

Yes.

They're just French fries.

They're just French fries.

I guess they're home fries.

They're pretty good.

They're pretty good.

The fries are like the seasoned fries that are a little bit thicker

than the normal fry.

Pretty good.

I would say the fries are pretty good, actually.

They should have these on the normal menu.

The chicken bacon

croissant-ish type of sandwich is not bad.

It's pretty good.

I have the chicken.

Have you had the chicken

biscuit thing?

I haven't, but I haven't tried it yet.

That is really good.

Oh, good.

The biscuit is there's a honey butter chicken biscuit, I believe, is what you're talking about.

That's what I just had.

Yeah.

That's delicious.

You know, I want to make sure I understand.

You're on a low-carb diet.

Yeah.

And you got a low-carb option, and you're currently eating a honey-butter chicken biscuit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, this is science.

This is science.

Okay.

This just looks so disgusting.

I won't try it.

But I don't think you're going to wait anything on the sandwich.

I know.

It's hidden by the bread.

But the biscuit is actually a little like...

There's nobody that makes a biscuit like Popeyes.

Popeyes makes a much better biscuit, but this is not bad.

So they went with this thing.

The chicken is good.

If you want to know the unique things here, I would say, first of all, the honey butter chicken biscuit is something that is just, it's just blatantly not a breakfast sandwich.

They just made a lunch sandwich into breakfast.

That is just not a sandwich that's for breakfast.

They've just decided to give you a chicken sandwich for breakfast, which is not

fine.

You can have a chicken sandwich for breakfast, but don't call it.

That's almost like chicken and waffles.

That's really good.

Okay.

Does this look appetizing to anybody?

Yeah, this is the unique.

I would say this is one of their unique plays, which is it looks kind of like a hamburger roll if you looked at it from

it.

Yeah, I would say it's only.

I'm calling it a croissant, but it's not.

I would call it a croissant.

It's in between a croissant and a bun.

Let me just say,

this

right here is the look

of a

failed breakfast attempt that will close the doors of Wendy's in the morning.

That is a failed look at that.

I don't know.

I think the croissant thing's not bad.

I took a bite.

No, look at the cheese.

McDonald's at least, you know, I don't know how they do it, but they mold their logo into.

You know, at least the meat is shaped like it has bones in it and it's got a nice logo on the on the McGrill.

McGrill.

This just looks like crap.

This looks like...

Yeah,

hey, kids.

Maybe some breakfast is downstairs.

That's not good.

You don't even want to try it?

No.

No.

Did you try the croissant thing, Pat?

I did.

It's not bad.

It's not bad.

It's okay.

It has some sort of sauce on it, I would say.

It's like a sweet sauce that, I guess, screams breakfast.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't think they understand what breakfast foods are.

I don't think

chicken is really good.

All right, let me try the biscuit.

I haven't tried the biscuit yet.

Biscuit with chicken is really good.

That's as good as if you like McGriddles, which I do, that's as good as a McGriddle.

Yeah, and it might be syrup that they put on it.

I think that's syrup on it.

I think so.

I think so.

And you really love the McGriddle, and that's what they do with the McGriddle.

I do syrup right into it.

I don't know how they do that.

I don't want to know McDonald's.

Don't ever tell us because it'll make me stop wanting it.

Probably.

It's like witchcraft.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

You know, if Dow Chemical was full of witches, that's what they'd be making.

I think Dow Chemical is full of witches.

I'm pretty sure that's true.

That's how they're so effective.

I will say this about the biscuit.

Usually, like a buttery biscuit, that is like every bite has two sticks of butter in it.

That's how buttery that biscuit is.

It's pretty good.

It's a pretty good biscuit.

It's good.

I would say that, like, I don't think any of these are bad.

The croissant thing isn't, it's more on the level of the Burger King croissant sandwich, I believe they call it,

which is just okay.

Yeah, this is, if you're going to launch breakfast,

this was like,

this is, I'm the CEO of Wendy's.

And you come in with this, I'm like, try again.

You know, that's what I'm like.

Yeah.

I'm not opening up.

I'm not opening up and putting a whole bunch of money for this.

I'm going to put breakfast for this.

No.

Where's the pancakes?

Where's the waffle?

Where's anything besides?

I would say to them, okay, you have the biscuit, chicken biscuit thing.

You got it.

That's not enough to open us up for breakfast.

No.

Yeah.

That's just, you know, McDonald's did so well with the breakfast all day thing.

Now everyone's trying to get on the bandwagon.

I was on a plane and I watched Super Size Me 2.

Oh.

Remember Super Size Me, the documentary?

Martin Spurlock?

I didn't watch it, though, so I wouldn't understand 2, I don't think.

Super Size Me 2.

No, I think you might be able to pick it up.

I got it on a list.

It's like COVID-19.

You haven't seen it yet.

I haven't seen the first 18.

Right, but I think you'll get it.

So was Spurlock the guy who we had on that first episode at Fox?

Or no,

the Fast Food Nation guy, the guy who wrote Fast Food Nation.

And he hated us.

He did, and that was such a good interview.

And it was the first show Glenn did on CNN Headline News, and it was the guy who wrote Fast Food Nation, which was basically a book bashing Fast Food Nation.

Really get Glenn, I think, was the biggest problem.

Yeah, and he did it.

It was really, actually an interesting interview.

And you guys had, and our thing was like, we should do something funny while the interview.

So it's not just a boring interview about food.

So Glenn would see like, oh, man, I'm really, that's that's a really good point about fast food being bad for you.

And then as he was talking, Glenn would dip his head out of the camera shot and take a giant bite of like a Big Mac.

And he was like doing the minimum, like chewing and doing the.

The guy couldn't see me.

He wasn't really.

So he was very serious, but I had like, I had like secret sauce all over my face and things.

And I'll never forget, CNN went, we cannot have an anchor.

Do anything like this.

And we're like, yeah, not really a CNN anchor.

And they edited the crap out of that.

I mean, that one, they were like, they were pissed.

Well, and we thought he could see you.

We were not trying to play a trick on the

little revisionist.

No, I don't think that is.

I think we thought he was going to play along with it and think it was funny.

And then we realized he couldn't even see us.

And then he thought we were just like screwing him over by messing up his segment.

Yeah.

Which was unfortunate.

Yeah.

But on this subject.

Not for the audience.

No, it was actually a funny thing for me.

He did not like you afterwards, though, which is something that's been repeated by many other guests since.

I think almost every other guest.

So, in this documentary, which I believe was made in 2017, but I don't know if you remember, Morgan Sperlock had a little bit of a Me Too situation.

So, I think he made this and then it didn't come out.

So, they've just released it to, I think, Amazon Prime.

Anyway,

I like the movie,

the first one.

The second one, he decides to open up his own restaurant, and a good chunk of the money is him getting all of these BS labels on his food.

He's opening a chicken chicken restaurant and he gets like, it's like free range,

organic, like all the terms you hear, natural,

no antibiotics.

He goes through all of them and he's able to secure all of these labels even though it's not.

He doesn't, no, they all, he legitimately qualifies them.

They just don't mean anything.

Oh, wow.

A lot of them literally don't mean anything.

There's no standards.

You can say it no matter what.

The no antibiotics one was.

What's my restaurant friend always says?

Yeah.

It doesn't mean anything.

It doesn't.

And the no antibiotics one was really funny because I've heard that a million times.

But literally, none of the food that you eat has antibiotics.

It's illegal.

No one can use it.

There's no food, no matter what level it's at

in this genre.

I raise cattle and we eat them and they're yummy.

And I tell the kids, don't name them other than dinner, lunch, or barbecue.

And we don't put antibiotics in.

You can put antibiotics.

You shoot them, you know, inject them so they don't get sick.

So that's when they say antibiotic-free.

It means you've raised that animal and never given it any antibiotics to keep it from getting sick.

The label, whatever, he went through the details of it with the expert from.

that, you know, that like qualifies people.

And basically,

and I can't remember the exact category.

Maybe it's different with cows.

He was doing it with chickens.

But the whole point was: none of the food at any level has this thing in it.

Yeah, because

everyone could say it's antibiotic-free, but only the people who do who want to charge you twice as much.

Because

here's the thing: it would be like if you guys were going to eat me, okay,

you couldn't.

No, I'd be to you imagine how marbled I am.

Okay.

And I barely, I'm like veal.

I've barely ever worked out or walked upstairs or anything.

I am deep.

You would be tender.

I would be delicious.

Okay.

There's so much maple syrup already in me.

Anyway,

so I should probably, since we're going into a pandemic, probably

say none of that is true about me.

I'm very tough and

just gristly.

Grisly.

It's nasty.

Anyway,

you know, you could, it would be like labeling me

or Pat cocaine-free.

Never, no cocaine in Pat.

Well, okay, back in the 80s, I had cocaine, but if you would eat me, there would be no residue, no, there would be no cocaine in my meat.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, yeah.

And so what they're saying is it's antibiotic-free, meaning he's like more like the cow is more like Pat being cocaine-free.

You can eat him and that

has never been in

house or meat.

has this analogy helping you at all

let me give you another one they did free range so he goes to the the the you know whatever government thing that it says you can say it's free range and he the the the text of it is something like

the chickens need to have access to the outside outside area with a minimum of this amount of space and it's a very small amount of space so all the chickens are in held inside and there's one door at the end, and it has this little tiny fence that goes out like four feet outside the door.

And it's the chicken, in theory, could walk out there.

They never do because they have no interest in going out there.

But that's considered

free range.

They can see the sky, and they're outside in this little tiny.

And at times, he tries to pick them up and put them out there.

They just run back inside.

Wow.

Wow.

That's amazing.

It's pretty interesting to watch.

I'm sure it's very slanted, but it also was, there's a lot of interesting stuff in there.

All right.

Pat Gray, thank you so much from Pat Gray.

Unleash, you can get it wherever you find your podcast.

I have an idea of a much, much shorter version of the movie Home Alone.

Okay, listen to this.

I just wrote this myself.

In the film, Macaulay Culkin's dad installs Simply Safe before they leave.

And so the criminals either see that they have it and it's on, and so they don't break in, or when they do, the alarm goes off, and that's the end of the movie.

Better for Macaulay, worse movie, though.

I don't know.

Sitting through Macaulay Culkin, you know, imagine now Macaulay Culkin.

How old is he?

50 playing a kid?

Bad.

Bad story.

Anyway,

I want to tell you that Simply Safe will protect every door, every window, every room with 24-7 professional monitoring.

Outdoor cameras, doorbells will alert you when anyone is approaching your home.

And entry and motion and glass break sensors guard the inside of your home.

Plus, you can set the system up by yourself if you want.

Anyone can.

Or you can can have somebody install it.

But I'm telling you, I've installed it.

It's really easy.

This award-winning security system features around-the-clock monitoring for $15 a month.

That is three times less than the other guys.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

I want to tell you about this guy named Rick.

He found himself dating

a girl he found on Tinner, Tinder.

And they work at the same company.

It's a land surveying company.

And Rick was the chief financial officer.

And they found each other on Tinder and

they went out and they're like, oh, crap, we work in the same company, but that's not the only problem.

They have a 36-year difference in age.

He is 58.

She is 22.

So

they're going to go out for lunch and say, we can't date because this is really bad.

They decided not to date.

And so they set up a platonic lunch to clear the air.

Four hours pass, and they realize, no, they're really in love.

So he quits his job

and goes to work for another company so they can work together, so they can date.

She says, I'm in love with Rick.

I'm just waiting for the ring at this point, even if it means changing diapers.

And the first time I thought, oh, they're talking about babies, no, she's talking about

her changing his diapers.

All right, new year.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the.

I'm sorry.

I'm just, I'm very frustrated.

I don't know how one of my apps was signed out, but now I got to sign back in.

And I

apologize to everybody who has the Blaze app.

We just upgraded the app significantly, but it required you to reset your password.

And I know what it's like.

I know what it's like.

Password?

I don't even remember my password.

What password?

What do I have to do?

It's to the point to where it's like, hey, I've got some life-saving blood here because I know you need a transfusion.

Just enter your

password

and your username.

And you're like, what?

And you eventually give up.

You know what?

I'll just die.

I don't need blood, okay?

I don't need it.

I don't know how to sign into the blood bank.

And you just give up.

Sorry, it's not what we planned on talking about, but I think you feel my wrath and hatred for username and passwords.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So since we're all going to be spending a

lot of time at home,

I think we should just

spend a few minutes.

and talk about what you can watch

and you can binge watch now.

You know, Seattle yesterday suggested that 2.2 million people, the Seattle area, King County, start working from home.

We're putting in guidelines now for when we know we're all going to start working from home because I think

this is going to happen

in many of our communities, if not all of our big cities.

They're going to start asking you to start working from home if you can.

And the reason why they're doing this is to save the health personnel quite honestly the less the fewer people that get this right now the easier it's going to be we're going to stress out the health system and our doctors and our nurses and if they start getting sick if the ambulance drivers the firefighter the police all start getting sick

it's it's a it's a bigger nightmare than it already is So they're asking us to stay home, at least in the Seattle area, and it will start to come.

CDC yesterday said

we are on the verge of this thing really exploding

in America.

So, what are you going to do?

What are you going to do?

I mean,

binge watch.

And

I've been watching Harlan Corbin.

He's got three shows now on Netflix called The Five,

The Stranger,

and I don't remember the other, but they're like 13 episodes in each.

They are the best.

They're the best

mysteries or murder mystery kind of things I've ever seen.

I've never seen storylines where Tanya, we just don't have time to watch series anymore because we have teenagers who never thank us for

picking them up and dropping them off all the time.

Anyway, yeah, the other one is safe.

There's three of them.

Tanya and I, in the last three or four weeks, have watched every episode of all three.

They are

remarkably good.

And

it's this,

each one of them revolve like I think it's

What are the names of them again?

It's Safe, the five, and and the stranger.

I started with the stranger.

It's this woman who comes up to this guy at his son's soccer game and says, you know, you didn't have to stay with your wife when she said she was was pregnant.

And he's like, excuse me, do I know you?

And she's like, no,

but, you know, she faked her pregnancy.

And

you can find all the information.

Just go into your credit card,

go into your credit card file and

find this.

So it freaks him out so much, and he dismisses it.

And it freaks him out so much.

His wife is out someplace at a a conference, and it's just driving him nuts.

So he's like, you know what?

I'm just going to put this to bed.

He goes in his credit card, and he finds that she charged money to this one place, calls the credit card company, and says, hey, what was this?

It was a couple years ago.

What was this for?

Said,

we'll have to call you back.

We have to do some research.

That's a bogus name.

The name was for

three companies.

One of them was a company that gives you,

you know,

the,

what do you call it, the pregnancy strip test, and it shows positive.

They give you a

ultrasound picture of the baby with your name on top of it, so it looks like you had an ultrasound.

They give you a baby bump belly that you can start to wear,

and so he freaks out.

Well, as this goes on, she disappears in the first this is the first episode, and he says, you have to tell me, did you fake the pregnancy or my children, my children even?

What is going on?

She said, you don't understand.

It's about so much more.

She disappears unanswered.

And so he starts to look for,

well, this story starts to involve all of their friends.

And everybody is having a different problem, kind of based on this stranger telling them different things.

You have no idea really what the story really is until the last episode.

And you're following it and it's all logical, but you're like, where is this going?

The same thing with the five, which we just finished last night.

The five is five friends that grew up.

One of them was kidnapped and killed while they were all out in the woods.

The little one who was younger, they said, go home.

And he ran through the woods to go home and then he was never seen again.

Well, now they're all grown up.

And in the first episode, one of them is a police officer.

They go to this murder scene and the DNA of that little kid 25 years later is found at the crime scene at this murder scene.

And so you're like, wait, I thought he was dead.

He apparently is not dead.

And now he's killing this woman?

What is happening?

And it takes you through all of the people and what was happening and how they're all involved.

It's incredible.

I mean, they're the best stories for murder mysteries I've seen.

Do they fall into my new favorite thing they're doing with television, which is the limited series?

Yeah, they're only one season.

So one season, you watch it.

You watch it.

It's at the beginning.

You watch all of them, and it's over.

Yes.

It ends.

Yes.

And you don't have to worry about them canceling it before the story wraps up.

And that's really frustrating, except when you realize, because I watched that first season and we started with The Stranger and watched the first season.

I'm like, oh my gosh, I would watch this all the time.

You know, it's over and it's wrapped up.

And you're like, okay, he can't go back to those people.

But I would watch something like this.

Well, he's done three of them, three different stories.

And they are fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic.

That's great.

Have you been watching McMillions on HBO?

Everybody's telling me to watch McMillan's.

It's so good.

It's so good.

It's a story I did not,

I don't even remember.

I remember playing the Monopoly game at McDonald's all the time when it was out.

And the story basically is about how

no one really won all those years, legitimately.

It was basically

an inside guy stealing the winning tickets and organizing a giant web of contestants that would go into McDonald's and say, I won the million dollars.

And they were just keeping all the money.

And they go through all of it from beginning to end, how it unravels.

And I mean, it is, you know, there's organized crime ties.

There's like Mormon mafia.

There is a mafia in the kind of thing in there.

It is wild.

Oh, they're really a mafia.

Yeah.

But it's the worst thing I've ever seen a Mormon do.

Previously, it was too much milk

at dinner.

So it was, it was.

That gets ugly.

Cleared it pretty easily.

So that one is really good.

There's a new season of Ozark coming out, which is

super dark.

Super dark, but so good.

So good.

And better Carl Salazan as well, too, which is fantastic.

I mean, the same type of profile, a little dark.

I mean, you got to understand, coming in here and working with Glenn every day is so much rays of sunshine.

You have to go home and watch something dark just to even yourself out.

You're like, oh, man, I'm too happy.

I'm too happy.

It's funny.

I've heard that is it Contagion and Outbreak?

The two movies about pandemics that have come out the last, what, 15 or 20 years?

Both of them have been like trending on Netflix and Amazon Prime and everything.

Like, you're in the middle of that movie.

Why are you watching it?

You don't need to watch it.

It's happening to you.

I know.

So, I'm watching also The Outlander.

Have you seen that?

No.

So, boy, you want to appreciate America and you want to appreciate, you know, the time that you live in.

This is a story that starts in the 1940s.

And this woman is in Scotland with her husband.

The war is just over.

They're kind of having a second honeymoon.

He's kind of this, you know, quasi-historian.

And they go, and he's looking for his roots, his English roots in Scotland because, you know,

he had English warriors in his blood in Scotland.

And so they're there.

And long story short, she passes through this.

I know this sounds really...

bad,

but she passes through this

time portal.

Okay.

And she goes back into the time when the English and the Scottish were, and she's trying to find her way back to present day.

Is this Quantum Leap?

No, it's kind of, that's the only time thing that has happened.

I've only watched a few episodes, but it's the only time thing that happens, just getting her there and her trying to find her way back.

But it's

amazing to watch it because of the history of it and you realize, well, we've come a long way.

Yeah.

We've come a

long way.

She happened to be in the war.

She was a nurse where she did a lot of stuff.

So they're like in the first scene where she's coming back.

One of the guys has a shoulder that's dislocated.

And all these guys are going to like, we're going to put it back in here, bite down on this.

And she's like, stop.

Stop.

He'll break his arm.

And she does it.

And they all look at her like, how did you just do that?

And there's questions on whether or not she's a witch or what she is because she just knows basic modern medicine.

It's really kind of an interesting thing.

I had Jonah Goldberg on Stu Does America a couple of days ago, or I guess a week or two ago, and we were talking about his book, Suicide of the West, which is a great, great book.

And he made the point, which was: if you kind of had

a wish, right?

You're coming into the world and you get to pick where you live and when you live, anytime is possible, any

place is possible

you'd be insane not to pick the United States in 2020 oh yeah insane which is like incredible when you think about how miserable we are like it really we complain about everything but where else would you go maybe you'd pick another country in 2020 but like you're not going back to 1940 what other country and I certainly have no other on that but maybe I don't know maybe I don't know maybe you love Europe or something but

you want to go there I don't know I want to stay here it's really fascinating by the way you don't you don't need to use up one of your wishes to go live in Germany.

Get on a plane.

Yeah, you can actually do that one.

That's easy.

But you can't go back in time unless you have a flex capacitor.

Right.

And I don't.

But if you could, would you?

No.

You know, Doc Brown's an idiot for going back to the old West.

It sucked.

He should have stayed in 1985.

That was the best option he had with the exception of the future, which probably would have been better too.

Yeah, if you could go, if you had a time machine, I would only go to the future.

I mean, maybe you go back to watch a historic event for a half hour.

I stay in the time machine.

I don't get out of the time machine.

At any point, do I leave the time machine under bushes?

You're doing a drive-through?

Yeah.

You're doing a drive-through time machine.

Oh, yeah, I'm not getting out.

Are you getting out?

That never works out well.

You put the time machine under a big tarp or you throw some bushes on it.

That never works out for you.

Don't leave the time machine.

And I've had cars, I actually have one now, that you get nervous when you turn it off.

The car does not turn back on most of the time.

You have an MG.

That's what you're talking about, isn't it?

I love that car.

And most of the time, I get up to a light.

I'm like, I might not go.

It may just stop.

Right?

So, if you've got the DeLorean and the time machine, you need to get it to 88 miles an hour.

You leave the car running.

It's a DeLorean.

No, you don't because it will overheat.

I had one.

You get into that thing and

you're going to any other place than your driveway.

You're not sure it'll ever get up to 88 miles an hour again.

Don't build a time machine in a DeLorean.

And if you do build a time machine, never leave it alone.

Never get out of it until you're safely back in your time.

How many movies do we need to teach us this?

All right, if you like saving money,

I'm also guessing you dislike it when in order to save money, you have to go through some complex set of steps, you know, and digital reams of paperwork while holding your tongue the right way.

You can kiss that problem goodbye now with honey.

Honey is the free online shopping tool that automatically finds the best promo codes and applies them to your cart.

This is what I love because when I first talked to Honey, I said, ah, free.

So, what is it you're taking from me?

Nothing.

Nothing.

They make their money through

the companies that you're buying buying from.

So

they find a coupon, they find it on sale, they get a piece of the sale from the company, the company gets the sale, and you get the discount.

Everybody wins in this.

All you have to do is download Honey to your computer, then shop your favorite websites like normal.

Then when you go to checkout, you click the apply coupons button that pops up.

In a few seconds, Honey scans all of the databases that have working coupons on the web and you'll watch your price drop.

Now, some people are like, my price didn't drop.

Well, because not everybody, not everything you buy has a coupon.

But if it does have a coupon, if it has a promo code, Honey's going to find it and apply it.

I've used it myself.

You will save a buttload of money.

It works nearly on every online store, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Macy's, Etsy, all of them.

It has saved customers over $2 billion, and that's why it has 100,000 five-star reviews on the Google Chrome Store.

So don't pass up.

151,000.

I was just there.

Really?

I'm in the middle.

I've used honey before.

It's awesome.

And for some reason, I don't have it on here.

I'm just adding the extension at this moment.

Yeah.

But yeah, 151,000 reviews now.

Wow.

That would be over 100,000, wouldn't it, Nelsdu?

Yeah, well, way over 100,000.

100,000.

He's like, oh, he's got 100,007.

He's got 100,009.

Station ID.

Ow, ow, ow.

Do you ever watch,

can you watch subtitled shows?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you see, what was the movie that just won the Oscar?

So well,

Parasite?

Yeah, Parasite.

I did not see Parasite.

You need to see Parasite.

Really, really, really, really good.

Really?

Yeah.

This had no subtitles, but I did see The Invisible Man

this past weekend.

It was really good.

It's a bloodshed movie.

It was really good.

It was really good.

Yeah, they did take it.

Did you see the family, or is it?

Oh, no.

Well, I mean, I don't know.

I guess you could take it.

Did you see?

It was a little, it was certainly much older than my kids.

Did you see the cameo with Kevin Bacon?

Small little part, Kevin Bacon.

You know, he played The Invisible Man.

You didn't.

Yeah, I remember that from back in the day.

Did you see the cameo?

No.

You've got to go back and watch it.

Oh, to see theaters.

I'm not going to go buy another ticket to watch a camp Kevin Bacon.

If you haven't gone, go look.

And

the cameo, it's like an Easter egg.

When you find the cameo of Kevin Bacon, it makes it a lot cooler.

I haven't seen the movie, but.

Well, how do you know it's a lot cooler then?

What if it ruins it for me?

What if I'm like,

I think I'm in the real world and all of a sudden Kevin Bacon ruined it?

Hate you.

Don't you like little Easter eggs and things?

Yes, I do.

Yeah, okay.

So then it makes it better, doesn't it?

Thank you.

Except Kevin Bacon-related Easter eggs.

What's better than eggs and bacon?

Oh, I got those all day long.

Yeah, I'm a dad.

Anyway,

have you seen Sharit on Netflix?

I have not seen Sharit.

Okay.

There's too many shows on Netflix.

No, there's not.

I could cycle through for six months and probably not even come across Sharit.

What is it?

Sharit is the name of the hospital in Germany that is the one that was the progressive hospital, and there's two seasons of it.

The first season in America is actually about World War II because they know Americans are fascinated by Nazis, I think.

But the first episode that you should watch them in reverse

starts in the 1880s and it's during the progressive era when they're trying to cure tuberculosis and everything else.

And it takes place in this hospital.

And it is the turning point of medicine.

And they're just starting to say, hey, maybe we should wash our hands in these invisible germs and everything else.

And so the first season is in the 1880s, and it shows, and it's all based in reality and true stories

of what they did back then to

discover the cures for tuberculosis and smallpox and everything else.

It's terrifying when you see what medicine was like back then and you see the beginnings of progressivism and collectivism in that hospital.

Then the next season is World War II with the experiments in this hospital.

Oh my gosh, it is so eye-opening and a total different look at the progressive era and

national socialism.

American Financing NMLS 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

We are seeing now the lowest mortgage rates in modern economic history.

Let me say that again.

We are seeing some of the lowest interest rates in modern economic history right now.

Now, that can mean a lot of things.

If you are going to buy a home, you can buy a much bigger home, maybe the home of your dreams.

Please don't over-leverage yourself.

But

you can buy a bigger home and the one that you really want for the same amount of money that you would have been paying for your mortgage if you bought a lesser home just a few years ago because mortgage rates are so low.

If you have a credit card, now is the time to consolidate that debt and get out from underneath that.

Some of these credit cards have 21% interest rates.

You change that to a 3% interest rate, you are going to save mountains of money.

American Financing will take care of you in a 10-minute phone call and tell you exactly how they can help you.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

It is Friday.

Bill O'Reilly has the week off, so he's not going to be joining us today.

Normally, he's here with us this hour.

Bernie Sanders says he's going to drop out if Joe Biden has more delegates by the convention, even if he doesn't have the majority.

He said he doesn't want superdelegates deciding.

You find that weird?

A little bit.

It's one of those things I think when that happens, there's a good chance he forgets he said that.

But right now, it's the right thing to say.

Right.

Because he just was on record when he thought he was leading, saying a plurality should get the nomination.

Looks like

it looks like Bernie Sanders is getting his head handed to him

in Florida.

Joe Biden is, what was it, 65%?

61 to 12.

To 12.

And that includes Michael Bloomberg still in the poll, and Bloomberg was actually in second with 14%.

So 61, 14 to 12.

They think that maybe because of the Cuban nationals that moved out of Cuba, got out of Cuba and Castro, that that has played such a huge role in Florida

that that word kind of spread because of the Cuban community going, no, Castro's not cool.

Yeah.

That it really tipped things against Sanders.

It's so interesting how the media works because if

Bernie Sanders were the nominee and we would have said that thing about Cuba, they would have been like, look, Barack Obama did the same thing.

Obama he visited there, but they want him out.

Yep.

And so they treat it that way until he's a nominee.

If he were the nominee, they treat it a totally different way.

What's crazy is this, we all know that, as conservatives, we all know this.

But liberals generally don't notice it because it doesn't happen to them, generally speaking.

Yes.

You know what I mean?

And when you're living under that kind of stuff all the time, you notice it.

And it's gotten to a point to where it's so bad, you dismiss it.

That's why I really don't think that any of this coronavirus stuff is going to touch Donald Trump.

I don't think it's going to hurt Donald Trump at at all because I think people know the media and they know this is just, they will say anything about Donald Trump to kill him.

They will say anything.

Did you see this thing with him?

Donald Trump said he had a hunch, a hunch, that the coronavirus mortality rate wasn't going to wind up at 3.4%.

You believe this irresponsible guy out there saying he's got hunches on diseases?

No, I don't.

What about some experts?

Get some experts around you.

Maybe talk to them about it.

Instead of just guessing, he's just taking blatant guesses.

Now, here's this is the actual clip.

It was Trump on with Hannity on Fox News channel.

Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number.

Now,

this is just my hunch,

but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this, and it's very mild.

They'll get better very rapidly.

They don't even see a doctor.

They don't even call a doctor.

You never hear about those people.

So, this is what the media came up with off of that clip.

Vox called it astoundingly irresponsible.

Your favorite, Glenn, Brian Stelter over at CNN.

Please don't walk out in the middle of this quote, but he said.

I hate that guy.

I mean, he is almost Woodrow Wilson to me.

Really?

You never walked out of an interview with him.

No, I didn't.

I didn't.

Brian said, I hesitate to even print the United States president's words here because they're so at odds with what health experts are saying.

This is, that is Brian.

That's why he's Woodrow Wilson.

He is such a propaganda disinformation, misinformation machine.

He doesn't have any...

I mean, how bad does something have to be that you hesitate to even type it?

Like, I don't know what the N-word?

Right?

Like, we don't type the N-word, right?

We would write the N-word or we'd say the N-word instead of saying the actual word.

We've actually put books together where we've had to use, we've had to quote somebody, you know, David Duke, using the N-word, and we'll look at each other and go, it is an exact quote, but I don't think we should put that in as, you know, other than the N-word, or let's use the N and the R and then just asterisks in between, you know.

He's comparing it to that.

That's how bad that quote is.

MSNBC said the sitting president of the United States told a national television audience not to believe the research of the World Health Organization's experts.

Is that what you got out of that?

Well,

Philip Bump from the Washington Post said that Trump, quote, twice admits that he's simply making up the percentage he's talking about, calling it a hunch and saying that it is his personal assessment.

Now, he said, no, most of that is not in quotes.

The word hunch is in quotes, and the word personal is in quotes.

Why?

Because right after he says it's a hunch, he says it's based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people who do this.

In other words, he's getting briefed from experts and he's trying to communicate that to the American people.

And I have to, which is not as bad.

I have to tell you, I read the experts every day.

We do a coronavirus update every day.

That is exactly what all of the experts are saying.

Right.

All of them.

Part of this is, I think, you know, the way that they,

the way he speaks.

You know, like Donald Trump kind of says stuff, and it doesn't sound,

it doesn't sound all of that, all that here.

Let me sorry.

Let me give you an example.

Play that clip again that you just played.

Listen to this.

Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number.

Now,

this is just

my hunch.

Stop.

I think that number is just a false number.

People, if you're on the left, they will hear, oh, fake news.

He's saying this is saying

they're lying.

Okay, that's not what he's saying, but that's what they're hearing.

Next, play it again.

It's just my hunch.

But based on a lot of conversations.

There's a lot of people that don't.

It's just my hunch.

Based on a lot of conversations, that's donald trump you hear if you don't like donald trump you hear you know i got all the best people around me i get all the best advice i get all the and at times he doesn't

at times he doesn't have cohen was not the best lawyer right and he's got he just uses hyperbole all the time yeah so you do what they've done is they've taken their brain and just put it into neutral they're just listening and they're like oh that's him going off again talking to the best people no in this particular case, he is talking to the best people.

In this particular case, he does know what he's talking about.

He is getting advice.

It's not hyperbole.

He is talking about actual stats.

And when he says it's his hunch,

that's really what all of the professionals are saying, too.

You know, I did a translation of Trump to doctor, because if it's a doctor saying it, you totally would believe it.

But Trump is, you know, he talks like the every man.

Here's the translation.

If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of the reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%.

That's exactly what Donald Trump said, except fancy.

It's also an exact quote from the New England Journal of Medicine.

That's it.

I hesitate to type these words.

It's like legitimately a paraphrase of the New England Journal of Medicine.

there was also a study

from

I know I know you subscribe to this but I just for so other people know I'm a doctor I'm a doctor the MRC Center for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London they said quote their study said estimates of the overall case fatality ratio of all infections is approximately one percent

you go on and say uh south korea who's done a good job handling this so far and they have a very advanced health system blah blah blah blah blah so far they're reporting a death mortality rate of 0.6%.

The princess, the diamond princess or the floating petri dish of the sea,

was with the memory of the ship that was docked off.

They had 707 people who got COVID-19.

This one we know is isolated, right?

We know everyone on there.

We know what happened there.

707 people, six people died.

So the mortality rate there was 0.8%.

Now, of course, when you're talking about a cruise cruise ship audience, you're not talking the spectrum of all people.

You're talking generally

an older audience with likely a higher death rate than what would normally be done.

And remember, a lot of people mention the 0.1% mortality rate from the flu, which is true.

However, it's true in an environment where 50% of the population vaccinates against it, and we have four approved treatments for the flu.

We have no

idea.

And a lot of people get the flu and just don't do anything about it.

It's It's the flu.

Yeah.

So the bottom line with that is over time, we're going to have the test.

You know, a year or two, we'll have the vaccine.

It really is a now thing.

If we can get through the next year, we're going to do a lot better.

Here's the thing.

Here's the thing you have to remember.

The media is going to whip up frenzy that this is worse and worse and worse and worse and worse because we're now going to start testing everybody and not even everybody, but we're going to be doing a million tests probably in the the next, I don't even know, four weeks.

Yeah, we're getting a million tests.

They're supposed to be done by next week.

Okay,

a million tests.

We had 440 people that had been tested total two weeks ago.

So now we're going to start testing everybody in the general population that comes in.

And not everybody's even going to get a test.

You come in, they really think you have it, you'll get a test.

So you're going to start seeing these numbers increase.

Well, that's a good thing because as the numbers increase, because we're testing people, we're now verifying that, yep, you have it, you have it, you have it.

Those numbers are going to explode,

but it will bring the overall death rate down.

Exactly what the president is talking about.

It'll feel really scary, but it actually will be a good thing.

It'll be a good thing because we'll be discovering these cases as we go.

And nobody in the press is going to do this because of for two reasons.

One, they need fear to get you to watch.

Okay.

Scandal doesn't work anymore.

Anti-Trump stuff doesn't work anymore.

Everybody's tired of the press.

So they need something to scare you with.

Look, there are reasons to be worried about the coronavirus.

There are real problems, most of them economic.

And all of us could lose somebody that we love in our circle of friends with this, just like we lose people that we love with the flu.

It just is going to double that number of the flu eventually.

So if we lose 65,000 Americans every year with the flu, we're going to lose 130 Americans,

130,000 Americans eventually

between the flu and this.

That's probably where this is going to end up.

That's a lot of people and we're going to be affected by that.

The real thing that they're not covering, and they're not covering because they need to make this about Donald Trump.

So they're not covering what is going to happen with our economy and how do we brace for that.

If you're listening to anyone who is just telling you the problems and not telling you how to brace for impact, they are of no good.

They are of no good.

They are part of the problem.

And Brian Stelter, you are a worthless worm.

Don't know.

Worthless worm.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the program.

We have some new information about

from 538 about what is shaping up.

Listen to these stats.

Yeah, so 538.com, they do these election predictions, and they turn off their model on a big election day, like Super Tuesday, in the morning.

They turn it off, and then they don't turn it back on until after the election is going.

So they settle down.

So they're not trying to implement things on an ongoing basis.

They're trying to make a projection beforehand.

Anyway, their current projection, before this, it was, I think, a 60% chance there was going to be a contested convention.

Correct.

And then behind that was, I think Biden and Sanders, I think Biden had pulled ahead of Sanders slightly, but it was still pretty close for the secondary possibilities.

Their new update just came out.

Joe Biden has an 88% chance to get.

Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on just a sec.

We're talking about Joe Biden.

I have a new Joe Biden theme.

Can we?

Here's the new Joe Biden theme.

He's

trying to make his way to the podium here, and

that's not looking

great.

The new Joe Biden theme for the program.

This fits Joe.

It fits Joe well.

I see his speaking patterns.

I'm working with a

composer now for some new themes and stuff.

And I said, I need you to do happy days are here again or something like that, but I want you to do it.

And

can you make it sound like it's done by somebody who just can't remember how it goes?

And he sent this back to me.

I'm like, that's Joe Biden's theme.

That's absolutely Joe Biden's theme.

So anyway, Joe Biden, his numbers now, he's back on top at 538 in a stunning way.

88% chance now to win a majority

of delegates that leaves a contested convention at 10% and Bernie Sanders at 2%.

That's how bad.

I mean, we said this when we were on the air.

Before we went on the air, Virginia came across, and

Glenn and I were the only ones standing in the studio at the time.

And I said, Glenn, look at this.

Like, they just called Virginia at the close of the polls.

That is not supposed to happen.

The day was so good for Biden.

He's now way out ahead.

When it comes to a plurality of delegates, 94% chance for Biden, 6% chance for Sanders.

And Telsey Gabbard's in third place.

Well,

the Marine band better brush up because

hail to the, what's this?

Hail to the

hail to the something, but we got to play that

coming up soon, apparently, for Joe Biden.

All right, back in a minute.

You're listening to Glenn back.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

We're glad you're here.

Our coronavirus update begins in one minute.

Is the Glembeck program?

Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there's a man standing at the open grave of a bygone era, casting his gaze, not at the death of an ideal, but at the death of a place in time.

The old days, some people call them fondly.

He thinks of them often.

They're gone now, but the ideal remains.

It burns within him and spills light into all that he touches.

It's that spirit of something that was lasting, that was true.

You know, we all like our toilets.

We like having modern conveniences and air conditioning, but there's something that has been lost in America, and it's that spirit of the cowboy, a filter of integrity, which has always been there in America and will come back in fashion again.

It's part of him.

It's in the light in his eyes all the way down to the pair of Takovas boots that he wears on his feet.

He knows, as I know, Takovis, when you buy a pair of Takovis boots, you're buying a statement of integrity.

Not that you're about statements, but there is something that reminds you when you slip them on in the morning, when you're standing

around a bunch of numbskulls that are talking nonsense,

there's something when you look down at your feet and you see that those Those people who made that cowboy boot with 200 steps, handmade, and yet you paid less than half of what the other numbskulls might have paid because they've got this name boot that oh my gosh and I got it at the greatest store ever that's not common sense that's not integrity the integrity is the handmade portions and the best finest leathers that's where the integrity of these boots come in not in the price because the price is half of what all the other dopes paid for on a boot that is handmade like this one why

Because they cut out the middleman.

They go right from the people who make it right to the person who has that frontier still in their soul.

Takovis boots.

Find your pair now.

Western goods for your frontiers are found at tocovis.com slash back.

That's T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com slash back.

Tacovis.com slash back.

All right, let's take a look at the daily stats.

All of these stats are as of 5.30 a.m.

from Johns Hopkins.

Total confirmed dates, we're now over 100,000.

The confirmed cases, that's up

about 5,000 from yesterday.

Total confirmed deaths are up about 100 from yesterday to 3,408, just so you know.

Before we did anything with the swine flu, there were a thousand deaths in America.

A thousand deaths in America.

There are now 55,812 patients who have recovered from COVID-19.

That's about half.

Doctors point out the recoveries are outpacing hospitalization or deaths.

94 countries have confirmed cases.

That is up from 87.

And 11 more today have suspected cases.

16% of active cases are considered serious.

Have you noticed this number is coming down?

It was just at the beginning of last week.

I think 19%.

It's now down three points.

16% are considered serious, requiring hospitalization.

That is including 5% that require ICU.

The U.S.

now has 233 confirmed cases, 14 deaths.

The confirmed cases now in Washington, Oregon, find your state, California, Arizona, Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, Tennessee, Nevada, with additional suspected cases in Montana, Nebraska, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Now,

some other news that you need to know

about this.

We have the EPA releasing a list of disinfectants to use against the coronavirus.

So if you're looking to disinfect,

you should look to

the EPA list of disinfectants that you can use.

Clorox multi-surface cleaner and bleach, Clorox disinfecting wipes, Clorox commercial solutions, Lysol brand, heavy-duty cleaner, disinfectant.

There's all kinds of Purel, Saniprime, germicidal spray.

The CDC and FDA has made this now available in case you are looking for those things, but it's all just common sense, unlike what Tito's has had to come out and say.

Tito's Vodka, based in Texas, has responded on Twitter that no, their vodka is not a sufficient

disinfectant against COVID-19.

A Twitter user wrote in and said, I made hand sanitizer out of your vodka.

Hand sanitizer doesn't taste bad either.

Cheers to Tito's.

They responded immediately, per the CDC, hand sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol.

Although ours is delicious, it's only 40% alcohol.

Therefore, it doesn't meet the standards of the CDC.

Despite the company's tweet, more than a dozen Tito's vodka sanitizer recipes are currently circulating online.

I wonder.

I wonder if this isn't just a brilliant marketing campaign.

Also, there is another rush.

We've heard about toilet paper

flying off the shelves and other things that now have

kind of a black market feel to them.

Alongside those coronavirus prep bags being filled by shoppers, bleach, hand sanitizer, are now

add to it, Twinkies and Ding-Dongs.

Hostess Brand, the CEO, said that they're seeing a bump in business as people are stocking up in case they are trapped at home during the coronavirus outbreak.

We are benefiting likely for short-term due traffic,

and that's the great thing about hostess, they're comfort things.

So seeing a slight uptick in traffic too early

to tell, but a lot of our

sales data is lagging, but we think

that this is just people storing up for a comfort food.

The average Twinkie and Ding Dong package sold today will last you not as long as food storage, but it will go to 2024.

By the way, I opened up the vault yesterday because we saved Twinkies, you know, when they stopped making Twinkies.

When was that?

Stu, do you know?

A couple years ago, right?

But they're back now.

Yeah.

They didn't last very well.

I put them in a vault just so we had them as a joke.

And yesterday I was kind of cleaning out some of the stuff in the vault and I found the Twinkies in the back of the vault.

I wouldn't eat them.

So wait, no, because everyone used to say, I'm not going to eat those things.

They'll last for 40 years.

No.

And now they don't last for 40 years.

And that's another reason why you won't eat them.

Maybe you just don't like Twinkies.

That's true.

I don't like Twinkies.

But the Ding Dongs, I love hostess ding-dongs.

Yeah,

they didn't weather the years very well either.

Hundreds of concerts and events have gone offline now.

Trade shows, concerts, events have been canceled due to the coronavirus fears.

In the U.S., more than 41,000 people have signed an online petition

calling for the cancellation of South by Southwest.

That is a 10-day tech and music concert that normally draws about 400,000 visitors to Austin, Texas.

People are saying, please don't come, please don't come.

The Global Health Conference, where Donald Trump was scheduled to speak, it is

the first cancellation in the event's 58-year history.

The Global Health Conference, that has been canceled.

American Bar Association canceled its national conference on white-collar crime.

Natural Products Expo is canceled in Anaheim.

The 32nd annual Arnold Schwarzenegger Annual Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio.

No.

Could I just go back and read that again?

Sure.

The 32nd annual Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival in Columbus.

Mm-hmm.

Did you know that he had a sports festival?

I did not.

In Columbus.

And it ran for 32 years?

No idea.

In our don't be a tool

category, New Zealand residents who had a fever and had symptoms attended a live tool concert on February 28th.

The packed rock concert was packed with thousands of other people, and health authorities are now using security cameras to identify who he may have come in contact with.

He was in the general emissions standing area from the left-hand quadrant, they say.

He stood in line for refreshments.

He used the restroom.

Don't worry, if you're in New Zealand, if you were there and had any refreshments, were in the stadium, or used the bathroom, you might be infected.

A man in his 40s in Slovakia confirmed now with COVID-19,

no international travel, son doesn't live with him, who had traveled to Venice in Italy in January.

Two additional suspected cases now in Slovakia have no known exposure in the international travel.

They don't know how it got there.

China's economy is losing $20 billion

every day.

Migrant workers and contractors are the worst impacted, could lose a combined $115 billion by April 2020.

Total economic loss in China mount.

They could exceed $1 trillion trillion dollars in lost income among Chinese households.

Let me say that again.

Not in the businesses, but in the households.

It could exceed $1 trillion in lost income.

This is the real threat of the coronavirus.

Bank of China has made $200 billion available for Chinese small businesses.

Bank of China also purchased $100 billion in Chinese stocks and bonds.

The Chinese stock market has gained 9% so far in March.

Much of that is printed money by the Chinese.

But I will tell you, when this, we finally hit the bottom on this, nobody can predict the top, nobody can

see the bottom, but I will tell you that once we find a vaccine, which will happen, once we find the vaccine, and once we know that a socialist Marxist is not going to win in the election, you should have your money in the stock market because the stock market will boom once we get past all of this.

It's down again, another 535 points at this point.

It is down to 25, that Dow is 25,595 currently.

That's down from about almost 30,000 just a few weeks ago.

So we're down 5,000 points.

But

I would imagine that our stock market is going to rebound.

The great news is on this politically is we were due for a correction.

And if it wasn't for the coronavirus, when that correction happened, the press would immediately say, Donald Trump's, Donald Trump's economy is falling apart.

Not one of them would have said, Hey, by the way, it looks like Barack Obama's economy is really kind of falling apart.

Because remember, this is Barack Obama's economic policies that brought us here in the good times.

Nobody would have blamed the bad times on Barack Obama.

But if Barack Obama were in office,

if the exact same thing happened, he would still be blaming it on George W.

Bush.

Okay, so Stu,

I've got something for you to listen to, and you tell me what's going on.

Okay.

This is circling the internet right now, and nobody is pushing back on this.

We will now have some breaking news on this.

This is a nurse,

and she says the CDC would not test her.

She is a union leader.

She released a video Thursday afternoon where she read out that she was working.

Well, let me just play it for you.

Here she is.

Listen.

I'm going to read a statement from one of our quarantine nurses who works at a Northern California Kaiser facility.

She chose to share her experience anonymously, but she is hoping that her story can be elevated to raise public awareness about concerns for the coronavirus response.

She said, as a nurse, I'm very concerned that not enough is is being done to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

I know because I am currently sick in quarantine after caring for a patient who tested positive.

I am awaiting permission from the federal government to allow for my testing even after my physician and county health professional ordered ordered the test.

The national CDC would not initiate the test.

They said they would not test me because if I were were wearing the recommended protective equipment, then I wouldn't have the coronavirus.

What kind of science-based answer is that?

What?

A ridiculous and uneducated response from the department that is in charge of the health of this country.

Later, they called back, and now it's an issue with something called the identifier number.

They claim they prioritize running samples by illness severity and that there are only so many to give out each day.

So I have to wait in line for the results.

This is not a ticket dispenser at the deli counter.

It's a public health emergency.

I'm a registered nurse and I need to know if I'm positive before going back to care for patients.

Right, you do.

I'm appalled at the level of bureaucracy that's preventing nurses from getting tested.

Delaying this test puts the whole community at risk.

Okay, stop.

What do you think is going on there, Stu?

What do you think's happening?

I mean, there's not enough information for me to really know, but that's weird, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, go ahead.

My guess would be that we,

and this is pretty well publicized, we don't have enough tests

for people to

utilize.

If you go in today to a hospital and you say, I'm pretty sure I have the coronavirus, I don't feel well.

What is the doctor going to do with you?

Probably isolate me or tell me to go home and go quarantine.

Correct.

Why?

Because they don't have tests yet.

Right.

We don't have enough tests.

They've ramped up production.

They believe they'll have over a million by next week.

Yeah, but that's a million for the entire country.

So it's best until we get that going to just isolate people and only use those tests on the people who are showing real symptoms so we can get them in.

You don't have, at this point, we don't have the tests.

This is, by the way, socialist healthcare.

This is what it's like.

When you don't have enough, you have to ration.

And so, not everyone gets to the deli calendar to ask for their meat when they want their meat.

Okay?

Now, this is a union worker.

She said that she wants to know if she is sick and has it.

And she calls the government basically science deniers, uneducated, and why should I have to wait in line?

Well, sweetheart, if I may use that, I understand your personal concern, but if you're somebody who's in a union and had been somebody who's been supporting socialized health care, that's what this is all about.

A line.

And you know why there's a line?

Because right now, only the government has been making these.

Donald Trump and Mike Pence and his team are trying to get all of the capitalist companies to make more of these tests so you could buy them at CVS, just drop it in, and you'd be able to get that test done and you'd know right away.

Until that time, the government has full control.

And yes, we don't have tests to test everybody who thinks they might have it.

By the way,

We reached out to the

CDC yesterday.

Here's what they said.

CDC is not aware of this individual case.

We cannot respond to its specifics.

However, the CDC would most definitely recommend a health care worker who had contact with a confirmed case and then become ill be tested.

At all times, clinicians have discretion to test patients based on their individual assessment of that patient's illness and risk of exposure.

Our clinical team is working with state and local health officials to assess persons under investigation and has not said no to any such request for testing.

I'm telling you right now,

you be careful who you're listening to.

You have to really be careful and question everyone's motives.

And I urge you to question even mine.

I'm telling you that I'm coming with no motive other than to tell you the truth as I understand it and give you perspective.

But you shouldn't take my word or anybody else's word for true on any of this.

You must do your own homework.

You have to think these things true, think these things through.

Is this possible?

Yes.

But the most logical thing is there are no, there are no kits.

There's not enough.

You think you have it?

I'm sorry.

I can't give it to you.

On I think you have it.

We have people waiting for the tests who could get medicine right now as soon as we get a test back confirming that they have COVID-19.

You're not the priority right now.

That's the world of socialized medicine, union leaders, union lovers.

Welcome to it.

And you can't trust you either because you have big investments with big virus.

You want this to get much worse.

I have what?

Big.

Well, we all wish the mirror was lying to us.

I know I hate mirrors.

I stay away from them like I'm a vampire.

But when you look at it, you see things that for sure.

That's exactly what a vampire would say.

I'm just saying.

Well, I was saying that.

Well, that's true.

You see things that you don't like sometimes.

Sometimes there's things like crow's feet.

There was maybe a little turkey neck going on under the chin.

What can you do about it?

Thanks for the gobble sound effect.

That was really helpful.

I don't know about you, but you want to get instant results.

That's a big deal.

And when it comes to skincare, nobody understands the desire for instant results better than Shamani.

Blaze TV subscribers only.

Eastern.

Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

It is Friday.

Now,

let me just go over this thinking.

Stu, what are they saying the worst thing you can do for coronavirus?

What is the worst thing you can do right now?

Eat Chinese food and have a coronavirus.

No.

No.

No.

I mean, you know, lick doorknobs would be bad.

That would be bad.

But what are they telling everybody?

You really got to do?

Keep your, don't touch your face.

Don't touch your face.

Stay away from people.

CDC yesterday said, you know, keep a distance from people.

So you're five feet.

Social distancing, historical.

Social distancing.

That's weird.

Have you ever heard of that before?

No, but I really like it.

Yeah, do you?

Yeah, I think it's a great idea.

We should do it anyway, whether there's a virus or not.

Stay away from me.

Well, I don't know anybody.

Wait.

What?

No, I'm just saying, generally speaking, don't need to be near you.

You don't need to be near me either.

We don't need, we don't, we don't need to be in close contact.

Let's call.

What do you, what do you, what do you, what is close contact for you?

I just want to know.

Well, I mean, I'd like a bigger table between us if that's what you're asking.

About seven feet apart from each other right now.

No, I mean, like, I don't like, do you like close talkers?

I'm not a big person.

No, I don't like close talkers.

I don't like anybody who's right up in my face.

Like, there's a certain amount of people that I like being in my personal space.

It's limited.

Yeah.

It's very limited.

You're talking about five feet.

That, which is about where we are now.

We're about six or seven.

Six or seven.

Yeah.

I'm fine with this.

That's weird.

Do you need to be closer to me than this?

No, not in our lurk space and not you.

But I mean, if we're in the hallway, we're a lot closer than this.

When we're talking, walking down the hallway, we're not seven feet apart from each other.

It's true.

We're more like two or three feet.

It would be a little weird to have a private conversation at this level at this distance.

Hey, Stu.

It just doesn't work.

So it's a new space that they want.

The worst thing you can do, right?

Go to a concert, go with a crowd, go to a movie theater.

Not supposed to do any of that.

Yeah, they're canceling sporting events, crowds, everything.

Here's the London mayor,

Mayor Khan.

He was challenged by a vault.

Well, I'll tell you in a second.

He was challenged for his risk, for his statement that, quote, there is no risk of catching the deadly coronavirus

by packing one of the city's trains, subways, or buses.

No risk, really.

I'm quoting,

it's very important we don't spread panic or alarm based on misinformation.

There is no risk in using the tube or buses or other forms of public transportation.

He went on to note that 5 million people are on the London subways every day

and 6 million on the buses.

He said there's no risk of jamming alongside between 500 and 20,000 people at a concert.

Excuse me?

That does not seem possible.

That's not.

What are you talking about?

Of course there's a risk.

Of course there's a risk.

Why is everybody shutting their companies down and having everybody work at home?

Now, certainly there might be over

there might be

too far a step at this

In theory, obviously, we're still coming in here.

Most businesses are.

In certain areas, though,

they're having people work from home without anything.

I mean, I mastered the ability to ride the New York subways without touching anything.

And it takes

work.

Remember?

Do you remember that?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I could master all of the doors, everything without touching anything, just using my elbows.

And you can do it.

It takes work, but you can do it.

But I would not get onto a subway today, would you, with this going on?

Would I get onto a subway?

I mean, I probably would.

Really?

I'd walk if I could.

I wouldn't want to get into a cab or anything else.

Look, let's be honest about it.

The subway is always the last resort, is it not?

Yeah, no, but I mean.

The only reason I would ever get into a subway anyway is because there was some horrific traffic backup that I needed it.

You used to ride it every day.

Yeah, I know.

And then I stopped doing it.

What do you think I live in Texas for?

Yeah.

I don't have to do things like that.

But no, I mean, ideally, I'd like to.

The subway is not a pleasant experience.

No.

But I generally.

What do you mean?

Is a cab better with different people getting in and out of it?

I got to imagine the answer to that.

No, but you're not in a cab with another, what,

300 people in the same, you're all, you know, scrunched in together.

Yeah, I wouldn't get into a cab either.

Yeah.

But it's better than a subway.

How can this guy possibly say when the world is saying, stay home?

Yeah.

Don't Don't worry, you could get into the crowded subway.

It's all good.

I wonder what, because he is, if I remember correctly, a massive liberal,

crazy person, basically.

He was tweeting about Trump visiting.

Wasn't he the guy that was like,

and it's like, Trump gets beat up for, we went over what he said, which was that the, I mean, the only thing you might be able to be critical in the slightest about Trump's statement is that, you know,

hunch might not be the best way of phrasing uncertainty about a mortality rate.

But it is saying

to communicate the uncertainty.

Exactly right.

He's not saying for sure it's going to be 1%,

which everyone believes it will be.

He's actually saying that.

He's saying the same thing that they said in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Same thing, just different words.

This guy is saying the opposite of what everybody else is saying.

What he's saying is legitimately dangerous, right?

Like, you know, that there's no risk.

Well, there is a risk.

You should do everything you can to protect yourself and to take basic steps.

You can't be perfect.

You can't see, you know, you can't spot the virus, walking down the street and dodge it, but you can wash your hands and you can do the basics.

And staying out of an area where

what is enclosed, that thousands of people go shuttle themselves in and out of, or millions, actually, in this case, shuttle themselves in and out of.

I think it's a totally safe thing to try to avoid that if possible.

By the way, you know who the common sense person was in this conversation?

The one who's like, excuse me,

Piers Morgan.

Wow.

I mean, that's how much you can, that's how much the world has changed.

Is there a portal between here and England where like Piers Morgan, when he crosses to this side of the ocean, turns into the biggest idiot in the world, and then he crosses back and he becomes smart again?

Is that possible?

Right?

Because you remember how stupid he was when he was on CNN?

Well, it's because I think over there he's talking about his country.

Over here, he's like, you know, this constitution.

Like, dude, you don't even understand it.

No, he had no idea what he was saying.

He's coming from a country where they're banning knives, butter knives.

I mean, stop.

The other thing that's interesting about Piers is he he seems to have a personal relationship with Trump.

And I don't know if that flavors his coverage.

I can't imagine, because they were on a celebrity apprentice.

They've had a long relationship.

I can't imagine he would be as positive towards Trump if he did not have that relationship.

But he does.

He said a lot of things that were very positive towards Trump.

You don't hear a lot of that in the media.

And Morgan, if he was still up, that Piers Morgan from CNN, he'd be doing everything that Chris Cuomo is doing and Don Lemon and all the other people that are there.

I mean, he was the worst offender back in the day.

By the way, a 62-year-old man in Spain, the first coronavirus patient to believe to have made a full recovery after being treated with an HIV drug.

Oh, yeah.

They're trying these different drugs.

They thought that this coronavirus had some things in common with HIV and could be beaten by some of the HIV drugs.

This is the first guy to make a full recovery after being treated with his HIV drug.

So that is really good news.

That just happened.

And China is also testing a version of this as well in their country.

It's called

a bullet.

And they say they just inject one right into your head.

Oh, wow.

How does it work?

The bullet

kills all viruses.

All viruses.

Really?

Yeah.

It works, I guess, at a cellular level at some point, but it's over.

Really?

Yeah.

Is this the thing I was reading about that?

Oh, it hasn't.

The only downside is occasionally some of the virus splatters up against the wall.

Yeah, there's some bleeding issues that they're still working on, but they'll get that down.

China will get that down.

Yes, they will.

Yes, they will.

It's amazing, too, that this does not get called

out for what it is, which is a global pandemic that was caused by communism, which is also, by the way, a global pandemic.

Communism kills a lot more people than the coronavirus, that's for sure.

But I mean,

they seem to be completely free of blame here

from unleashing this on the world.

Everyone's like, ah, you know, they made a little mistake by hiding this for a few weeks when they knew about it and not letting their doctors actually communicate the medical information they found.

Yeah, it's completely forgotten.

Yeah, it's true.

I mean, it is very similar to Chernobyl, except much, much, much worse than Chernobyl was.

Chernobyl wasn't that bad.

57 people died.

Almost all of them were working on site that day.

There will be,

you know, over time,

there will be an increased cancer occurrence in the close nearby areas that could kill a decent amount of people in the future, but not going to be anywhere near what coronavirus does just this year.

No.

Just this year.

And, you know, that's besides the fact that at that time they were projecting that to kill maybe 500,000 people immediately.

It did not happen at all.

But

what was in common there was a communist government handling something because it embarrassed them and unleashing it on their own people, and in this case, the entire world.

So, let me just give you one real quick Biden update.

Do we have the Biden theme song here?

Because he looks like he is

trying to find his way to the podium now.

And

his.

This is just like one of his sentences.

And it has the same roller coaster ride.

I just love this so much.

Because doesn't this feel like what Joe Biden is going through right now?

Yeah.

I'm the president.

Or I'm going to be the.

I'm running for

not Senate, right?

The issue with Joe Biden is his brain is always buffering.

It's just a

just this.

Anyway,

the president has been

mocking the campaign gaffe, saying there's something going on up there, meaning Joe Biden.

And he said, he was really upset.

He was, quote, mentally set for Bernie, a communist.

And then we have this crazy thing that happened on Tuesday,

which he thought was on Thursday.

He introduces his wife as his sister,

and then says that 150 million people were killed with guns, and he's running for the U.S.

Senate.

He said, I just, think there's something, I think there's something damaged.

I'm wondering if there's something damaged about Biden.

You're hearing this from the left.

You're hearing this from the right.

You're hearing this with your ears.

You watch him, and it just doesn't feel right.

It doesn't look like it's right.

And

we are talking, but forget the whole thing about how Biden can't get through sentences and he's groping people all the time.

He's not groping always.

He's

smelling their hair yeah

smelling going on your hair smells like this

terrific stuff that's a little goofy i think we all legitimately look at biden and feel like not good about it like i don't if you feel bad for him in a way yeah um because it seems like something's going wrong but separate from that the democrats basically have handed their shot at the presidency which at this point right now is probably a 45% chance to win the election, to a guy who quite clearly does not seem competent to run the United States of America.

I mean, there's one thing to say, this guy's crazy.

No, this guy

is probably early

in the early parts of dementia.

Now, obviously, we have no idea of the medical diagnosis there, but it does.

Look, we've all seen this happen.

We all have had relatives where this has happened, where things have slowed down.

He seems to be following every pattern.

What's crazy is we would not, if that was our grandparent or our dad, we would say, dad you you got to stop you got to stop we would take the keys away from we're thinking as a country of giving him the nuclear keys we're telling him hey you're fit to drive the country none of us would feel comfortable if that was our family member with him driving our car let alone drive the country If he wins this nomination, his pick of the vice president is going to be the biggest one of all time.

It's going to be the most important pick.

It's going to be the most important pick of all time.

All right, I want to talk to you about Hustler Turf.

This is the Glenbeck program.

This is

the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the show.

It is Friday,

which is great.

Anything planned for the weekend, Stu?

I'm just going to be mourning the loss of Elizabeth Warren's campaign.

Oh, my God.

I'm so depressed.

I had to take down my Elizabeth Warren for president tree.

You did?

Yeah, I had it all decorated, ready to go.

Now, I know I didn't want her to be president because she's a woman, and I can't, I would not want a woman to be president.

That's not excuse the expression, but it is 2020.

That's why I had the vagina tree.

Oh, you did?

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

I was amazed by all the think pieces coming out from feminists now.

You know, that's the only reason she was a woman.

One of them entitled, America Punished Elizabeth Warren for Her Competence.

No, America didn't.

Can we stop with that?

America didn't.

Democrats did.

If you believe that, it's all Democrats and progressives.

Yeah.

All the people who are like, you are just such a misogynist.

No, I have no problem.

I'll vote for Nikki Haley in 2024.

Yeah.

I'll campaign for Nikki Haley in 2024.

No, I won't because that always means the kiss of death and she wouldn't win.

I will do whatever I can to help her by not endorsing her or not helping.

It wasn't us that voted in your primary and voted all the women out.

It wasn't us that voted in your primaries and got rid of all the people of color.

And it's not us who's ignoring the only female person of color left in the race, Telsi Gabbard.

That's not us.

That's you.

You're doing that.

I love this.

Not us.

I love this.

They have the, they're the ones with the problem.

They're the ones who always notice it.

I mean, Martin Luther King was right.

Don't judge me by that.

I mean, you don't even notice it.

They do.

That's all they seem to notice.

How about we just, you know, content of character, their ideas, you know, they're not sending their son over to make millions off of our back in bad countries of corruption.

I mean, things like that, you know.
