So what is it you miss getting out of the house and doing most?

So it took four minutes before the unprecedented demand swamped the small business. administration's second paycheck protection program rollout, causing it to crash. According to Bloomberg, just minutes after the SBA's paycheck protection program relaunched at 1030, lenders complained they couldn't access the agency's system or were kicked out as they tried to process applications. The bankers were sitting refreshing their screen every 15 minutes to get in, they said,

is very frustrating. Rob Nichols, the president and chief executive officer of the American Bankers Association, said in a tweet yesterday, were deeply frustrated at their inability to access the system. We've raised this issue at the highest levels, and until they're resolved, banks are not going to be able to help all of the struggling businesses. Unprecedented demand slowed E-Tran with more than 100,000 loans processed by more than 4,000.4. 4,000 banks as of 3.30 yesterday afternoon. The last program lasted 13 days. They say this program is probably going to only last a few days.

A lot of money went to people like Ruth Chris Steakhouse and other big businesses and universities. And the mom and pop businesses failed to get in it. They get any of it. meanwhile the banks why we want to say this big banks processing all of these loans have earned 10 billion dollars

in fees 10 billion dollars in fees we're never going to return to normal if the government doesn't back off I fear we are we are making the same mistakes that led to the Great Depression.

There is no returning to normal if we don't stop what we're doing right now. Here's the problem. People haven't received their stimulus checks, their payments. Some states still haven't rolled out their COVID unemployment registration website, so unemployed people still haven't gotten a dime. it isn't going to be too long before the stimulus money that, you know, everybody was sent. And unemployment is still on the rise. That money is going to be gone.

Here we are in the first week of May. It's not looking pretty. People were unable to make their rent and their mortgage payments in April. The ones who managed to scrape enough money together won't be able to pay the rent and mortgages for May. and it's not just the mortgage payments. It's actually food in people's stomachs. The food banks have come under unprecedented use, and we are digging ourselves into a hole we'll never get out of.

And people are struggling, and not because of laziness, but because they've been told they cannot work. It's the perfect storm. And if President Trump doesn't find a way to connect with those people and help those people at the bottom of the ladder, there is civil unrest, there are crime waves coming our way. At the same time, he's got to convince those people who have gotten these checks and this unemployment to go back to work. I mean, why would you go back to getting minimum wage when with unemployment, and an extra $600 a week,

you're getting close to $3,000 a month. So you're, you could be making more money than you've ever made. And you're not working. Well, businesses can't open without the low wage earners. When the COVID unemployment is over, currently good for three to four months, people may not have jobs.

jobs to go back to because the business is closed while still facing expenses. And the longer this goes on, the less likely it is for that business to survive. Yesterday, Dallas said you could open up your stores, but only 25% of the traffic can go through it. Well, the restaurants here in Dallas are saying, well, we can't open. It's more expensive for us to open than it is to stay closed at this point. Once we're open, the way this thing is rolling, it looks like there may not be a lot of places that will open or can open. Now, at the meantime, you're going to be paying more money for things like meat, eggs, canned goods, pasta, frozen pizza, other popular lockdown foods. I don't know if you've been to the grocery store and you've noticed the prices, but they're trying to, they're trying to help us.

You ready for this? They're trying to help us by raising the prices of some goods, you know, and cutting all of the special supermarkets. Generally speaking, 20% of everything in a supermarket any given day is on sale. Those sales are kind of going away because they want to stop people from hoarding things. They don't want us to buy as much. The average discount is 23%. So without any of those discounts, if your store is getting rid of those discounts, you're going to be paying at least 5% more.

You could be paying as high as 23% more plus any inflation on top of that. If you look at the prices, the commonly purchased items have increased by 25% since. before this thing started. Shortages are now starting to appear. Shortages in the stores are struggling and spreading the inventory out, filling in the gaps. I've never seen this in my life. Households are now using 40% more toilet paper than before. Well, we finally figured out why?

Because we're all going to the bathroom at our home. Of course we're using more toilet paper. We're only using our home. not the store, not our place of business. And that's a problem because we can't make the toilet paper. We're making industrial toilet paper. And until we can start selling the industrial toilet paper in the supermarkets, we're going to have a problem with toilet paper.

This problem also is not just about shortages. It is it's about processing and distribution. 10 large meat processing plants have closed. distribution has farmers by dumping thousands of gallons of milk, plowing under vegetables in the fields, leaving potatoes, millions of potatoes to rot. Does any of this sound like the Great Depression? Because this is exactly what happened. A lot of food being produced destined for restaurants, hotels, cruise ships,

diverting it now to grocery stores and the millions of people using food banks almost impossible because of red tape, the federal government, where's the distribution? The scarcity could be limited if we just allowed businesses to, for instance, farmers selling their vegetables directly to grocery stores. We must localize our systems. We've put ourselves in such a bad place right now. We're in a place right now that makes no sense. Everything, we have ability to do everything, but we have nationwide distribution.

Your local farms are not providing locally. We've got to get back to local production. We've got to get back to at least American production. I don't know if you have seen the list of things that come from China. Tires, tires retreading products, all rubber products, including but not limited to, stoppers, caps, lids, hoses, belts, tubes, pipes, antifreeze, de-icing fluids,

iron and iron alloys and steel products, aluminum and alloys, nuclear reactors and parts, central heating units and parts, furnace burners, all parts, furnace ovens, water heaters, turbines, turbines, hydraulic engines, pneumatic engines, turbo engines, pumps of all kinds,

machinery for food production, commercial and home use, paper making, and bookmaking, anything printed, cartons, boxes, containers, mailing, shipping, textile machines, metalworks, cast iron parts, chainsaws and parts, cash registers. I mean, it goes on and on and on. And then you get to medicines. Then you get to things that are critical that we have just to survive.

We have put ourselves in such a bad position. and we have to stop the government from printing more money. Nancy Pelosi now is pitching universal basic income. It doesn't work. It's been tried all around the world. It doesn't work. But she wants to write $2,000 checks to everyone over 16 years old. Can you imagine your 16-year-old teenager getting a check for $2,000 every single month?

Holy mother, trillions of dollars have already been created out of thin air to help us through the crisis. But a lot of that money has gone into the pockets of massive businesses and banks. Small businesses aren't getting the money. So small businesses, many of them may not reopen. Many jobs may not come back. Why would anyone leave unemployment? if it meant a pay cut. Why would you go back?

Why would you do that? You're sitting at home. Well, we have to convince our friends that it is over in three months. And this talk of universal basic income is not going to help that. It all leads to trouble. Universal basic income. Anyone over 16. will get money for at least the next six months.

That's what Nancy Pelosi is advocating. The bill is called the Emergency Money for the People Act. It would provide $2,000 a month for guaranteed six months or until employment returns to pre-COVID levels. Pre-COVID 19 levels means the employment to population ratio for people ages 16 and older is greater than 60%. Remember, we had the best economy and the best unemployment in the history of the country just a few weeks ago. But soon as it gets back to that, we'll stop.

Who would be eligible for the money? Everyone's 16 and older. Making less than $130,000 annually. You'll get $2,000 a month. Married couples earning less than $260,000 would get $4,000 a month. Qualified families with children. receive an additional $500 per child up to three children. So a family of four with two children earning an income up to 260 a year will get $5,000 a month. Single filing tax filer would get $2,000 a

month. If you're unemployed, you're eligible for the money as well. College students eligible for the money. Anybody with disabilities eligible for the money. What's the downside? Do you realize if our kids at 16 are getting $2,000 a month, do you realize how much college will go up? I mean, you have to look at history. If you look at history, once the federal government began guaranteeing the loans, that's when college became unattainable for most people.

Because the colleges said, well, the government's going to guarantee the loan, so we can charge whatever they want, because the government will give all those loans and guarantee them. When we had two workers in the house, when women went back to work or went to work, and we had mom and dad working, the price of houses doubled. Inflation will go through the roof. We cannot lose our ability to be self-reliant.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be a popular idea now. All right, 1-800 flowers. If there is one person that put up with more of your crap throughout your life, it's your mom.

Looks like Donald Trump may be turning away from supporting funding for cash-strapped states and cities in any new coronavirus bill as Stu, by the way, hi, Stu. As Stu pointed out yesterday, they're already, what is it, 3.5? They're not calling it 4. they're saying Corona's a stimulus package 3.5. Oh yeah, that's the new spin on it.

This last one they did, which is what is what you described at the very beginning of the show is running into all sorts of problems of the past couple mornings. That's stimulus 3.5, not stimulus 4. So the next one would be phase 4, not phase 5. Or maybe it'll be phase 3.7.

You know, maybe they'll just kind of just keep breaking it down. This is the biggest robbery in the history of the world. you imagine how much corruption is happening? Can you imagine how much money is just going to be disappearing? Yeah, it's interesting. Like there is, if you think about that there's a lot of small businesses who really need this money and are the exact type of business you'd think should get it, right? Some restaurant who is keeping their people employed somehow, even though they're getting

no revenue. It's exactly what the, you know, what's designed for. And there'll be tons of those people who don't get the money. And there will be tons of people who would do to a relationship with a bank or a personal relationship or who knows what are able to get the small business loan despite the fact that they may now have lost any revenue. And I did some checking on this over the weekend. It doesn't seem as if you need to pay it back. Like let's say you take a, as long as you don't fire, as long as you don't fire people. Right. All you have to do is basically tell them you believe there will be an impact, whether the impact from COVID actually comes or not is a whole another story. So if you're selling, if your job is you're selling paper towels and toilet paper,

and actually this is a boom time for you, you're not paying back that money. You're essentially running your business without a staffing cost, which is, you know, totally, you know, not what we were trying to do here with this program. But it's going to. going to happen. People are going to figure out how to, you know, use this system and use it really well. And, you know, you had mentioned earlier some of these restaurants don't want to open and you're, you're not sure if you can make money or not. Some of them are opening if they were able to get the loan because they're able to run the restaurant without staffing costs for a couple of months. Right. Which is, you know, is it kind of what we all sort of intended. Like, that's great.

They can open. They can still do delivery. They can get some revenue there. They can open up a few tables here and there. That'll help for a while and it'll help us bridge this gap as we kind of poke our noses out of the door and make sure nothing bad's going to happen as we reopen this thing and do it in a methodical way. So there's some sense there. But I mean, we are going to have tons of amazing stories of how people are manipulating this. You throw multiple trillions of dollars out the door with a week's notice. That's what's going to happen. We all know that's happening right now. And it's, we're going to have to go out. After that later on.

Is it manipulating the system if that's what the system says you can do? Well, no, I mean, you know, that's, I'm saying actual fraud. There's going to be tons of fraud going on with this program. Oh, we're not going to catch a... Just missing money. Oh, yeah. I mean, look, look what happened in New York, 850 million missing from just New York City. Let me talk to you a little bit about rough greens.

I have to tell you, my dog, Uno, is a different dog. And I love seeing him so happy. I told you that the wife we partnered him with, if you will. She was a female dog name, absolutely, in every way possible. And he became much happier when she died. Unfortunately, it was kind of sad because we realized how he had just been moping around. But then he still got a little happier, but not like he is now. We started feeding him rough greens.

He runs to the bowl to eat. We used to have to hand feed him. He runs to the bowl to eat. He is running back and forth in the yard. I mean, he is so active and so healthy. Rough Greens is not a dog food. It's a supplement that will give your dog all the probiotics and everything else they need, and you will see a huge difference.

I was petting him yesterday. He's never been more soft. Rough Greens. Are you ffgreens.com slash Beck? Roughgreens. com slash Beck. Coming up, it's one of the biggest shows in the history of YouTube. It's also on Blaze TV at BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

Stephen Crowder joins us coming up. Hello, America. It's Tuesday. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn, I'm looking at hashtag Glenn's studio on Twitter right now. And people are trying to figure out what has changed. As you noted yesterday, we're giving away a signed copy. No, if there's something new.

Yeah, something new. Everything's going to move around and change. because this is me. Okay. So, because there's a lot of rules to this game that I did not, I was not aware of when it launched.

Apparently the paintings don't count. So if you have a new painting, I know, it's just that this is becoming like a full-time job to keep track of all your rules. Apparently now when things move around, that doesn't, that's not different.

It's got to be something new that's not a painting. Something new. Anything else I need to know about this particular game. Yeah, I'll give you a, yes, I'll give you a hint.

It's always a historic item. It will always be a historic item. item. Like yesterday it was the Ian Fleming rat with a bomb in its butt. Of course it was. The historic item from World War II. Blatently obvious. We knew that was going to happen. Today, it's a historic item.

So anyway, if you have so far, anybody have it. Yeah, if you use the hashtag Glenn Studio on Twitter and you can guess, most people are guessing a bottle to your, over your right shoulder, a tall blue or green bottle. It appears to be part of a lamp.

No, it's. Yeah, no, it is. It's just a lamp. No, that's not it. Okay. So they do not have that. A lot of people not understanding your rules, so they're guessing paintings, which, again, that's not okay.

Paintings, I'm churning them out and always moving them and, you know, working on all of them. The other thing is you're like, well, I keep moving things around. What if you move something from outside of the camera shot into the camera shot, which that would be new to the audience, but not new to you? Yeah, it sucks to be you.

So it's not the, it's not the bottle lamp. Are those the guesses? Because it's not the lamp. No, it's not the lamp, but it's not paintings. Got anything else? No, people don't have it yet. No, people don't have it.

Okay, all right. Hashtag Glenn Studio. All right. Let me go to Stephen Crowder, the Blaze TV host of Louder with Crowder, the most politically incorrect show. Well, I should say, the bravest show. I mean, politically incorrect. Maybe the Nazis online are a little more politically incorrect.

But Stephen is the smartest and bravest show on television. Hi, Stephen. How are you? well boy I hope that doesn't get clipped out of context introduced as a Nazi no I said the Nazis would be more politically incorrect what's new in the studio it's the SS flag there

you covered it up with the the vial of blue liquid what's it gonna be uh what's the new can I take a guess is it is it stews just for men uh stew no I will not visit Glenn at his home so no

No, Stu always makes me uncomfortable. He's got that hairline. It's like perfectly dark. It looks like it's lacquered on like Bert Ward. If he just got out of the wardrobe truck. And I'm jealous because I'm getting a Mr. Fantastic Sideburns. Okay, I'm just bitter. Go ahead.

So Thursday, you were doing something that Stu and I believe, unless you've employed half of India, there's no way you can do this. You're going to fact check for three hours live CNN. Yeah, we did try and employ half of India. Unfortunately, we did a test run, and I couldn't sift through the typos live on air. So we tried a Bangladeshi thing. But you know what? We're going to bring jobs back to America.

So we have someone from Media Matters and Retainer. Yeah, you know, we did this. This comes from, this is a true story. I did a CNN 16-hour live stream, I think three years ago on the show. And this was after I was waterboarded for Christmas as a telethon. And there was sort of that was it Dewey Greenleaf or whatever that character was in in semi-pro, where I was always doing these big things for Christmas. And that was the entire CNN clock, 16 hours, and it broke me.

Like, it was the hardest thing I'd ever done because I had to fact-check. It was 16 hours long, and afterwards I was dead for about a week. And I was so scared of that that I said, I have to do something comparable, but my wife wouldn't let me do 16 hours. So she said, how about this? You do the press briefing, and then live fact-check CNN for three or four hours afterward. And that's what we're doing on Thursday night, if there's a press briefing. You know, you never know.

Well, I assume that there will be. He's doing them every night. How many researchers do you have to be able to pull this off? It's really just me, and we have one brilliant researcher named Reg. So we work together. We have other team of people who kind of help send stuff in. But typically what happens is, you know, most of the information, I kind of have it at the ready, and I'll be on air and I'll say, oh, yeah, wasn't that stat actually 34.5%? And we have a system where Reg can get it to me on my iPad. add. No, no, really. It's like I'm very, I'm largely useless. Most of my knowledge is theoretical, but for some reason I'm able to remember these. And that's because I read, Argue with Idiots by Glenn Beck, which is available at Barnes and Northern Carolina. So, uh, let me ask you this. Um, this ends the mug club quarantine, uh, this Thursday. You've been doing all kinds of extra shows and everything else for people who are trapped in the house. Are you going back to work, uh, on Thursday?

Uh, and, and everything back to normal. Everybody's coming in and, and, Everyone is in. We haven't changed anything. That's the thing is we've all been in. We, you know, we decided to take an acceptable risk and people here have been careful. And at first, they were wearing masks and sanitizing everything. And now I'm pretty sure we all had coronavirus here in January. And let me explain why, because two people, I'm almost positive had it. One of our employees came back from Disney World. And I'm a very compassionate, I'm a benevolent dictator because I didn't fire her when I found out that she came back from Disney World. Then the person who works right next to her got sick, and we have a company, we do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we literally have our own gym, so that you can't really social distance when you're sweating into someone's face like the embalment fluid in the drag me to hell film. So I'm pretty sure we all had it. We all got sick in January. And I will tell you this, we've all been in the office, not a sniffle. No one here has been sick at all. So after this CNN, this is the 31st on Thursday.

That'll be the end of Mug Club quarantine. So the $30 promo code will go through that. I will take one week off just to kind of get everything done behind the scenes. We have some updates we need to make here. And then we'll be right back in the saddle. Yeah. So, Stephen, what is the, what do you think we're facing coming back? What do you think is coming?

Or it's going to be left behind? I think what's going to happen is there's going to be this class warfare continued and probably, you know, probably amplified. I think that business owners are going to be excoriated. I think that people who want to go back to work are going to be demonized for a little bit until people realize that, I mean, listen, you know, I think that it was necessary some kind of a quarantine in the absence of data, but now in the face of overwhelming data, quarantining the healthy as opposed to the sick just doesn't make sense. And it's just going to take a while for people to sort of catch up with the real world numbers right now. I mean, people got mad at me when I just tweeted out from the municipalities, okay, we have Los Angeles County, we have Santa Clara County, we now have New York City,

we have my Abby Dade County, we have Chelsea in Massachusetts. Every single one of them, now that they've done revised testing, they've revised a mortality rate at most to 0.5, likely 0.1. That's including, by the way, the 95% of people who are over the age of 80 and are sick. And so we didn't have those numbers initially. Now we do. Unfortunately, this should be good news. but we've gotten into such a hyper-partisan state. Not that it's always bad to be partisan,

because I think it's important when people want to, you know, allow abortion outside of the womb. I'm okay being partisan there, but at this point, people should be happy. Americans should be content with good news, and they're actually mad when you just send them out the raw numbers from the counties that are actually doing the antibody testing. I have to tell you, Stephen, how many of us are going to not go to work

because if you have a minimum wage job, You're making more money on unemployment. You're hearing Nancy Pelosi say, we want to give everybody $2,000 a month. At 16 years of age and above, everybody gets $2,000 a month. Why would you work? I can't even imagine at 16 years old getting a check every month for $2,000. I'll tell you this, and this is where I get a little conspiratorial. Under Donald Trump, it's the first time ever in modern American history that I know of

that the average hourly earnings actually outpaced 5%. Now, we know that's not an accurate metric of, you know, when people say, well, the wages have an outpaced inflation actually have to look at individual annual income and it's always been pretty good. But for the first time ever, average hourly earnings, meaning people working at McDonald's, meaning people working at any fast food joiner or waiter, they were making more than ever before. And I think in order for people to not see the fruits of that labor in this robust economy, what's

the best way to do it? Rather than arguing with the numbers, which they can't do, is give people more than they would make at the minimum wage jobs, which were steadily increasing. Otherwise, people would see it and go, hold on a second. I'm working at McDonald's. A fillet of fish slapped together today really isn't worth any more than slapped together in 1975. It should be right on pace with inflation as far as I'm concerned.

But it's not. So let's give them more money. That way people don't actually see the wage growth in these jobs. It's just a theory. So let me ask you, first, how is Donald Trump done during this? I will say pretty well, pretty well. I wish that he would, when he does these promotional, I get about press briefings, I wish that he would just sort of introduce it and then defer to the experts.

Unfortunately, some of these experts aren't always experts. I mean, I hate to say, people say, well, where's your medical degree? Okay, I don't have one, but I can read numbers. Dr. Fauci is great. Dr. Fauci's done some good work, but Dr. Fauci hasn't seen a, he hasn't seen a patient in 20 years. And now we're seeing numbers from doctors who are currently seeing patients in these counties. And there's a very wide gap between the theoretical and the practical, real life. world experiences. So I'd give Donald Trump

probably about a B minus right now, especially in the face of who. I hope that after this, you know, we go back to being a little more presidential and focusing, focus on the election and the issues that matter, which isn't the virus. So, you tweeted, I don't think Joe Biden is guilty

at this point. I think there isn't enough evidence to show that Joe Biden is guilty at this point, but it's fun to think that he's guilty. Yes, it is. Now, with what happened yesterday, where you have two people stepping up. One of them saying, I'm still going to vote for Joe Biden. I've always been a Democrat. All of her social media shows that she is a strong Democrat. She's verifying that in 1993, that's exactly what Tara Reid said to her. What do you think's happening there?

I will say this. I have to hold Joe Biden to the same standard that we were holding Brett Kavanaugh. And so it is innocent until proven guilty. That being said, we are literally, beyond what we had with Kavanaugh. And the story is very consistent with corroborating witnesses at this point. And I will tell you what really bothers me more than anything. Let's say Joe Biden isn't guilty. Well, Google thinks he's guilty enough to remove the Larry King episode where Tara Reid's mother called in and then restructure all the episodes thereafter.

We have one missing day in August in 93 or 95, but we don't have a skipped numbered episode. And CNN said, hey, hey, we didn't do this. We have no control over Google Play. And so people let it go. in my mind, that's worse. That means that Google thought, oh, this could really hurt our guy here. So let's do some of the legwork behind the scene. So whether he's guilty or not, that remains to be seen. If held to the standard that we tried to hold with Brett Kavanaugh, he's certainly not guilty yet. If Joe Biden is held to the standard that he tried to hold Brett Kavanaugh, he's absolutely guilty, put him in stocks. I think that's interesting that you would bring up the Google thing, because they are rewriting history in real time now. Yesterday, there were, uh, two great doctors that came out.

They're seeing patients, and they're saying, look, exactly what you said. We have numbers now. We've been seeing the patients. We've got to go back to work. This is not the same. Facebook decided to ban that. It had 5 million views, and Google and Facebook banned it and are not letting people see it. That is dangerous.

Were these the two California doctors just talking in a conference room? That's banned? I was just watching that. yesterday. Wow. Five million views and they banned it and they said it violates community standards. I think that's really dangerous. I don't just think it's dangerous.

I think it's morally reprehensible. How does that violate community standards? What happened to these are our heroes in the front lines that 9-11 firefighters, first responders are trash compared to these people who are nurses right now out there. And the front lines, the front lines we hear. Well, these are guys actually treating people in a major city on the front lines and are offering up their information. And they were questioned, by the way, by some pretty hostile people. It wasn't like they just decided to open this up to softballs. I can't think of anything that would be

more appropriate right now than people who are qualified medical professionals who are treating patients in the real world actually disclosing the numbers and their experiences. If that's against community guidelines, then listen, Chinese propaganda is the new community guideline. Alive and well. Thank you, Stephen. I appreciate it. Thursday, make sure you're watching Stephen Crowder. He's going to be fact-checking CNN, which should be a lot of fun. Thank you, Stephen.

Oh, New York pizza the best. There's nothing like it. No, no, no. You've never lived in New Haven, Connecticut. This is made in Worcester on Worcester Street, the best authentic Italian pizza I've ever had. And one of the places that makes it is, um, is modern pizza. Oh, wow. And I just got this in the mail yesterday. They are now vacuum sealing the pizza. This is real wood fired pizza. This one I think is sauce, no, this one is a meatball. They are unbelievable. Would you agree with this, too? Modern pizza was my favorite New Haven Pizza place.

It's so good. I mean, better than you. Anything you can get in New York. I mean, it is the best. They're now delivering it nationwide if you just call them. It's modern pizza in New Haven, Connecticut. And you've got to try this pizza. It is unbelievable. I think this is the best thing that has ever come out of COVID. Oh my gosh, yes.

Completely different pizza. Real authentic Italian pizza. You're listening to Glenn. And hey, you sick freak. Welcome to Tuesday. It's the Glenn Beck program. Oh, as Stephen Crowder just said. to me a few minutes ago. You know, I'm not sure there's enough evidence to convict Joe Biden and say that he is guilty, but it's kind of fun to think that he's guilty. Oh, that's just wrong. There's some new news on the Tara Reid front, and we'll get into that and the hypocrisy of all of it in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program. www. nmLS consumer access.org. Oh, wow. Thank you so much for that. Here's something that I want you to do if you are responsible. If you're paying more than 4% an interest for your mortgage, you are massively overpaying. You need to get a refi loan right now before loans get even harder to get.

And that is a, that's coming soon. you might want to consider a consolidation loan. If you can get one, consolidate all of your high interest debt, that is going to be even worse. Credit card debt is going to put you out. The credit cards, they're limiting the amount that you can spend now in credit cards. And they are also going to be raising the interest rates. So it's going to be better for you all the way around. Get out of that stuff.

Go see American financing. American financing, they'll talk to you on the phone. They're waiting for you right now, 800, 906, 2440. Tell them I sent you. They are really good people. I've known these guys for a long time. They're not like the big banks. They are just a mortgage broker, I guess.

They go out and they'll find the best loan for you. And they listen to you. Just spend 10 minutes on the phone, and they'll be able to tell you, yeah, I think we can help you or not. but please do it and get out of that high interest. You need to save as much money as you possibly can. Americanfinancing.net. That's Americanfinancing.net 800906 2440.

800906 2440. Arguing with Socialists. The new book from Glenn Beck. Get it now on Amazon or wherever books are sold. It is so good. Yes, and it is so good. And it talks about universal basic income. All of the things in this book are happening right now.

All of the things you need to know how to argue and stop is in this book. And we really need to brush up on UBI and modern monetary theory. All of the things that Congress is pushing for and Nancy Pelosi is pushing for. We've got to stop it right now. You can find that all in the book. And by the way, if you want to win a signed copy of the book, all you have to do is hashtag. Glenn's studio. What's new in my studio? And actually, it's kind of what's old in the studio.

It'll always be something of historic value that will be randomly placed somewhere in the studio every day. You just have to find it and tell me what it is. And Stu, do we have any more, we have any more guesses on this? Yeah, there's a bunch of them. We're getting to Tara Reid here in a second, by the way. Yeah, a bunch of them coming in. people are guessing the saying the gas can is been removed from your studio which is no that's a painting of a it's a really nice it's flattering that people think that it is a gas can but it's a painting of a gas can a lot of people guessing the red phone so no paintings behind you no that was there yesterday but it was there uh yeah that one was

there yesterday one person uh guessing i agree with someone that said the phone the red phone which is an interesting approach because if someone had guessed that before you and they were right, you couldn't win. So I don't know why you'd guess that necessarily. It's an interesting thought. But good job. Good job, yeah.

Yep, we see that. We have a lot of guesses at the bottle, which we said are not correct. No. And we are getting this one a lot too. Let's see, I'm trying to, I don't know where the first person is said it, but some people are guessing the black blob

over your left shoulder. and other people are saying the hat over your left shoulder. Black hat. Find the person that was the first that said the hat. Ah, is that right? That is right. And it's a historic item. It is actually a hat made by a hat maker in Berlin during the 1930s.

This woman was the best woman's hat maker. She happened to be Jewish and she was, of course, taken away and executed. But this is one of her hats that she made. In fact, it is the hat that Ava Braun had her made. She was Ava Braun, who is Hitler's wife or lover until the very last day. She loved this hat maker and had her make all of her hats and then she could be taken to the concentration. camp. So that is Ava Bronze Hat behind me.

All right. We'll put something new. Another historic item someplace in the shot. And you'll get a free book signed by me on arguing with socialists. By the way, that book is available everywhere that books are sold. Okay. So there is a new update now. The former neighbor

of Joe Biden's accuser, Tara Reid, has now corroborated the sexual assault account. We now have the mother calling into Larry King in 1993, and we have probably three witnesses. One is the brother who said, I remember her saying that he had his hands underneath her clothes. He said, but I don't remember anything else.

And that, to me, is consistent. I can't imagine telling your brother all of the great. details on that when it happened. So we have that as a witness. By the way, she's a Democrat. That's something that's important that we never had with Kavanaugh's accuser. She was somebody that was leading the charge to get Kavanaugh to not be or any of the Republicans to not be the Supreme Court justice. So she is on record as an advocate against the Supreme Court nominee of Donald Trump. Tara Reed is an active Democrat. Well, so is the former neighbor. The former neighbor, they have checked all of her social media. She is constantly been a fan of Joe Biden and constantly

been a Democrat. She is wildly anti-Trump. So she doesn't seem to have an axe to grind with Joe Biden. So her name is Linda Lacasse. She's a Biden. She's a Biden. and she said that Reid told her about the alleged assault in detail in 1995 or 1996. She said, I know this happened because I remember talking to her about it. They were apparently sitting out on a porch one night of her house. They were neighbors. And she said that we would sit out on the porch sometimes and we would just talk. And she's a victim of abuse.

and she brought up this abuse that she had and apparently Reed then said this happened to me. And she told her the whole story. She said, I remember her saying there was this person she was working for and she idolized him. He kind of put her up against a wall. He put his hand up her skirt and he put his inserted his fingers in her. She felt like she was assaulted, you think? She really didn't feel that there was anything she could do about it. I remember she got very emotional as she told the story.

She was crying. She was upset. And the more she talked about it, the more she started crying. I remember saying that she needed to file a police report. She said she doesn't recall whether Reed supplied any other details like the location or anything else. I don't remember all the details. I just remember the skirt. I remember the fingers.

I remember she was devastated. That sounds completely. completely consistent and worth looking into. Doesn't condemn Joe Biden, but is least worth looking into. There should be some sort of investigation. I don't know how you're going to investigate something this old,

but it should be done. And to point out, Glenn here, this is a more recent incident by a considerable margin than when we dealt with Brett Kavanaugh. It is a situation where we have. now four people who are witnesses. We had only two. And then the mom, we now have kind of saying at least something went on.

We don't know what it was. So that would be a third. And then the fourth here is this neighbor, again, who seems to be a Joe Biden supporter, even after the sexual assault, which is a considerable amount of dedication to the candidate. Listen to this. Listen to this. She said, coming forward to support an allegation against the Democratic prudential. presidential nominee may have repercussions for me.

I have no political acts to grind, and I intend on voting for Biden. I personally am a Democrat, a very strong Democrat. I'm for Biden regardless, but I have to come out and say this. That's really, really strong. And look, I don't think this is proof it happened. Because, you know, look, there's a, there's a, there's a, presidential nomination on the line. Obviously, Biden is vulnerable. I have no idea if these people are coming up out and making it up. They may be. But we do know that this was considered absolute proof when James Comey wrote notes about a meeting with Donald Trump. When you say something at the time and we look back 30 years later, that's just absolute proof in the in the eyes of the left. I don't think that's a fair standard because you don't know what the motivations are for someone doing this, but we do know that it's massively more evidence than ever came up from anything

to do with Chia. We all said, when it first happened with Kavanaugh, we all said, look, this is disturbing. We should look into it. We didn't condemn him. We said we should look into it. When he testified and Blazy Ford testified that day, we went into it thinking she could be very, very credible. By the end of it and listening to him and her.

We discovered which one was more credible or not. Eventually, everything Blazy Ford fell apart. Everything she said all fell apart. This might as well, but it should be looked into when you have, here's another person that is coming out now. She worked as a legislative staffer in Senator Jack O'Connell's office in California. another Democrat. She said she and Reed worked alongside each other from 94 to 96. She said she remembers Reed complaining at the time about being mistreated by her former employee.

Reed said she had been sexually harassed by her former boss while she was in D.C. and as a result of her voicing her concerns to a supervisor, she was let go. She was fired. What I do remember, Sanchez said yesterday, is. reassuring her that nothing like that would ever happen to her in our office, that she was in a safe place free from any sexual harassment. She does remember that the employer Sanchez recalls of Reed was Biden. Sanchez praised Reed for speaking out.

It takes great courage and strength to come forward. Sanchez said in a statement, it's much easier to keep silent. However, I understand the duty that we. have as women to share our story regardless of who the perpetrator may be. All reasoned. Yeah. Look, it is more than you got for any of these accusations that we went through with

Kavanaugh or several other figures on the right. This is stuff that, I mean, look, we should step back and say this, that it is not impossible to arrange a few people, some of which that you're closely related to, to back you on a story that's false. It's very possible that it's false. I don't know that there's enough evidence. There's a lot of questions in her story. Some of it sounds very questionable to me. It's something that, as we've always said, when someone comes forward with a serious accusation like that, they should be taken seriously. However, I can't get over just the double standard of the media. And when I look at this and I say, there's two standards here, the Kavanaugh standard

and the way they're treating Joe Biden right now. I think the way they're treating Joe Biden right now is closer to the way they should do it because they shouldn't necessarily just convict him and destroy his life like they did Kavanaugh. As Stephen Crowder mentioned, like there is a double standard here. The Kavanaugh standard is so horrific to me.

I want nothing to do with it. The Biden one doesn't seem to be exactly right either, considering we've now gone, gone 33 days since this allegation, and Joe Biden, despite dozens of interviews, has never been asked about it. That's incredible. There's no way to dismiss that other than massive media bias and complete journalistic malpractice. There's no other way to explain that.

Let me give you one more thing I think in Tara Reid's favor. You know, things like this change your life. So what did she do? Reed went to work in the domestic violence unit for the King's, County Prosecutor in Seattle. She received her law degree from Seattle University School of Law in 2004. So she went back to school. She later served as Legal Services Director for a Snohomish County Center for Battered

Women. This woman had a change. She went back to school after the incident. She gets her law degree and goes to work to help fight abusers and battered women. that too sounds consistent. And again, there's no acts to grind here. It's not like if she was a, if she was a Trump supporter, I would be skeptical. But seeing that she is a strong Democrat who has always liked to Joe Biden, idolized him.

I mean, it's hard to find a reason why someone would go out and just destroy their lives. All right. Having the right tool for the job can make the job itself not seem so terrible. Take mowing the lawn. You put me in front of a push mower and ask me to mow the lawn, especially summer in Texas. No, every day. I might start crying. However, I mean, that would be worse, the water torture for me.

Did you see, have you seen Lauren Chen's? show pseudo intellectual on blaze tv have you seen the latest episode with the uh environmentalist i haven't seen the latest one she's great though she is really good um anyway she she's on blazed tv uh and she's covering coronavirus kind of like we were um in our last special about how the the environmentalists are just loving covid 19 and and and working to make sure that we never go back to work Let me give you this tweet or this comment from former Wall Street Journal columnist and climate activist Eric Holtouse.

This is the same pace that the IPCC says we need to sustain every year until 2030 to be on pace to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and hit the Paris climate goals. This is what rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society looks like. We're doing it. It's possible. We need to take some serious time and energy during this pandemic to see which parts of this new way of living we can keep. We can build a better world for everyone out of the ashes of the old one. Holy mother, you're saying that shutting down the entire world and putting the entire world into a depression where we have now famine coming for a good part of the world in the next year.

We have hunger problems and people at homeless shelters and food kitchens and soup kitchens. You're saying this is a good thing? This is the level that it would take for all of us to do until 2030? Well, thank you for finally admitting to it. we told you for a long time that these people are so extreme, they don't care who dies, they don't care about the economy, they don't care about anything except saving the planet.

And it's unreasonable. They actually do care who dies, right? They want, there have been, we did this on Earth Day. We did some of the old quotes from environmentalists, where they actually advocate in hope for outwardly a virus to come and wipe out the population.

because it will help the earth. This is something they've been actually outwardly asking for for quite some time. Not all of them, obviously. It's the extremes who would admit that in front of cameras or on their keyboards. But still, like the fact that you have anybody who's actively asking for a virus to come back and wipe out humanity to solve the Earth's problems, that's a problem with your movement, is it not? Yeah, I think so. I think so.

this is insanity. The left is taking advantage of this. They're talking about things like universal basic income, which doesn't work. Endless money printing, which doesn't work. Environmental, you know, the Green New Deal, it won't work. This is a dangerous, dangerous period of time for our republic and for the health of the entire world. You're listening to Glenn.

What we do, we do. do now what we have done over the last few weeks and how we react to this in the coming months will be studied by historians for a very, very long time. This is the biggest event probably since World War II. It is the biggest non-war event.

Maybe since the end of slavery. I mean, I can't think of anything bigger than this. it is unprecedented and we need to keep journals and we need to make records and this is the first time I mean I've always been interested in StoryCorps because I thought oh that it would be really cool to do and have conversations and have them on record at the National Archives et cetera et cetera so people could go by you know a hundred years from now and they'll see what we were saying to each other but this is the first time that I thought having my family on record talking about what this experience is like would be really remarkable for future generations even if it's just for my family story core is something that the people that listen to npr know all about it they've been with npr covered on npr for a very long time and they reached out to us and said can we get some conservatives to participate in StoryCorps, we want to make sure we're recording all voices.

And so Dave, I say, he's the founder and president of StoryCorps. He was in my office a couple of times. And I just find it of real value. And they're doing something right now that is recording the voices of people during this pandemic again for history. And Dave joins us right now. Hi, Dave. Glenn, it's good to talk to you.

Good to see you. Yeah, good to talk to you. So, Dave, tell me what you guys have been doing, because usually you bring people into these little remote studios, but you're doing this now all over Zoom or Skype or FaceTime. Yeah. So as you know, StoryCorps has been around for a while, and it's a real simple idea.

It's about connecting families. So you have two, you bring your, we started with a booth in Grand Central Terminal. Bring your grandmother to that booth face to, face, there's a facilitator, and you interview her about her life. And as you know, the microphone gives you the license to talk about things you've never talked about before to talk about important things. So people think of it as if I had 40 minutes left to live, what would I say to this person who means so much to me? What would I ask of them? And at the end of the 40 minutes,

you get a copy. It's only audio. And another goes to the Library of Congress so your great, great, great grandkids can get to know your grandmother through her life and story. And essentially because of what's being talked about, we're kind of passing wisdom from one generation to the next. And it's like the opposite of reality TV, right? Nobody does it to get rich or famous. It's just this act of generosity and love. We've had 600,000 Americans participate in this so far. And when the pandemic hit, we decided to make a very fast switch and worked with the technology company called,

well, we figured out a technology solution to allow us to do this online. I called the CEO of a company called Vonnage, which was the company that was the technology we wanted to use and said, we want to do this. And he said, okay, you can have everything for free. And we built this platform called StoryCorps Connect, which for the first time allows you to do. It is somewhat like a Zoom interview, but it's more secure. The audio is better. You see it, you dial, you ask your grandmother to make an up, you, you send your grandmother

a link, and you go to this site and you do a story corner to you can see her, someone who you're isolated from. And at the end of the conversation, you hit upload, and it goes to the line. Library of Congress. So like you said, we're here collecting this primary source material about this incredible moment we're living through. And also, you know, I also think that everything about StoryCorps in some ways reminds us of our mortality, right? Because, you know, we're all going to die. My communications people hate when I say this, but that's what StoryCorps you on the shoulder and reminds you that, you know, what's important and to say the things you want to say to people,

now. So that's another given urge, another urgency of this. You know, it's an ability to connect with elders who are isolated and tell them you love them by interviewing them. It's a way to capture the stories of the moment. It's, it's, you know, two things from a story called for interview. And I know you know this. One is that no matter how well you know the person that you're interviewing, you're going to find out things you never knew before. And the second is you're never going to regret it. You and I usually, you know, we've been on the radio. You and I usually, you know, we've been on the radio together for as friends for a couple of years talking about the side project of StoryCorps bringing the country together, the kind of culture of contempt that

we're living in. And we've dialed back on that for a couple of months to go back to the original premise of StoryCorps and just help us, you know, call a loved one and tell them that we love them. Mother's Day would be a great time to do this. You know, it costs nothing. It's the least expensive, most meaningful gift you can give. All right. So Dave, bring, bring one of, you know, one of these that you have recorded recently, set this up. Sure. So I think the clip we're playing is actually, so this is one of the very first StoryCorps Connect interviews.

And it's actually my kid who has COVID, my 11 year old and his grandmother, my mom, talking to each other. How has living through the experience of COVID-19 made you feel? It's terrible. I hate being alone. I hate not being able to see you, Toby. I hate not being able to hug you, but I can live through it. Are you afraid? You know, I'm not afraid of dying.

I've had a great life. I've done my job. What I'm afraid of is losing somebody I love. And that makes me sleepless. My grandmother died in the flu epidemic of 1918, which we're thinking a lot about because we're in a pandemic, right? Yeah. And my mother and her sisters, they were all orphans.

And that gave me a sense that you can have troubles and sorrows, but your family, if you're very lucky and you're very loving, it will survive. Toby, what was it like to have COVID? It wasn't great. Are you feeling better now? Are you all better? No, not all better, but I'm feeling. Good. I'm so glad you're feeling better. I want you to be well, and I love you from A to Z and back.

You're living through one of the most crazy and consequential times in a century, and you survived. Yep. I love you, I love you, Toby. That is such a great story. So, I mean, it's just so touching, so touching. How's your son, Dave? He's, you know, he's still sick. But he's, he's a tough guy. And, you know, we're very, very, very lucky. We're the lucky ones.

You know, it's like a long flu. And there are so many, you know, my, I was, my assistant, you know, lost her aunt, her cousin, who's 40 years old, the mother of three little kids. I mean, it's, it's, this is what's happening here. We're just blessed. He's going to be fine. But there's a lot of bad stuff going on out there, especially here in New York. It'll be interesting to see.

We have a neighbor right down the street. She's 95 years old. And we check in with her and her husband from time to time. And she remembers the after effects of the last pandemic. Right. And she said, I've never seen anything like this in my life. and to have a 95-year-old say, I've never seen anything like this, is a little sobering. And to be able to talk to grandparents and talk to people who have lived a full life and have them say,

this is important. Just, I don't know, it's different than seeing anybody yell. A president can say it, a prime minister, you know, Walter Cronkite, It's not the same as having a 95-year-old say, this is new. Yeah, no, I agree with you. And I think, I mean, we haven't spent a lot of time talking about kind of the core of story core because we spent so much time talking about the divides. But, you know, I think we devalue the wisdom of our elders, you know.

And there's so much that we can learn from them. And we live in a, we live in this disposable culture. It's about Twitter. You know, it's about everything's gone in a second, you know, and what StoryCorps. does is focus on what's real and enduring. And there's no more important time than now to focus on that. And again, you know, we never know what's going to happen. So the idea of saying the things that you want to say to the people who you love, I mean, I have people come up to me every day under normal circumstances when I'm running around the world saying, I wish I had interviewed my grandmother. I wish I had interviewed my sister. I wish I had interviewed my father, but I waited too long.

And, you know, the message now is don't wait. It's time. So the website is storycore connect.org. It's free. And, you know, we think of it as, you know, it's a public service and it's a, you know, listening to a loved one is a way to say, is a way to tell them how much they mean to you. So don't, don't wait. Yeah.

It's a great thing for Mother's Day, but it's a great thing just to do, you know, today just to do it. and history as told by the people who are living it is so important. Dave, what he has done with StoryCorps is, I think one of the, one of the most important projects of a historian that I can think of. And please get involved. StoryCorps connect.org.

That's story core, C-O-P-S-Connect.org.org. Thank you so much, Dave. Talk to you again. We'll talk soon. Be well. Yeah. Best to your, best of your family. All right.

You want to go to work? Go take the job as an essential worker.

Glenn Beck goes one-on-one with 30 jobs host Mike Rowe, who says all jobs are essential. With regard to an economy, I don't think there's any such thing as a non-essential worker. Glenn and Mike take on the out-of-touch elitist. Tomorrow night at 9 p.m. Eastern at blaisdiv.com slash Glenn. I'm sir. This is the Glenn Beck program. There is a great story that I want to share with you. And an Irving nurse was getting ready to drive to her shift at Baylor, All Saints Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas.

and she helped staff that are treating COVID-19 patients, and she got into her car and she realized that her car was dead. It wouldn't turn over. That's when she heard a truck coming around the corner. And she said, I was like, maybe somebody can at least jumpstart my car. Well, the man in the truck was stopped, and he said, sure, I'll jumpstart your car. But they couldn't get the car unlocked for some reason.

And she was stressed out about how long it was going to take for help to arrive. and that's when the guy in the truck made a bizarre offer. He said, if you want, I'll stay here and wait for the locksmith to get you to, you know, your car unlocked. And why don't you just drive my car to work? She said, I'm holding his car keys. I don't know his name. And she said, his kindness just overwhelmed me.

I got really teary. She said, I lost it. I said, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just really grateful. So Anderson took a photo. in his car posted it on Facebook. It has been shared now over 30,000 times.

But when she returned from work, he said to her, I hope you don't mind. After we got your car started, I took it over to the auto shop to have the battery looked at. He went to two different shops, which both gave the battery a pass

and they couldn't find any other problem. So he returned the car home. When she got into her car, the battery was still dead. The same man in the truck jumped her car again. She went to drive it. She found another surprise. She said, he went and filled my tank up with gas. She said, I just kept crying over and over.

Stranger didn't respond to the story that was published. We don't know much about him. He doesn't want any attention at all. But she says his kindness will stay forever. That is an American story. That is who we really are. Not this bickering group of people that doesn't trust each other and wants to rat on each other and yell at each other. This is who we are.

And if we can remember this, we make it. We make it. If we get lost in money and greed and politics, I don't think we do. but that's our challenge and it is the challenge that every you know every couple generations faces something like this and it decides whether that culture is worthy of survival or not and our choices every day will make that ultimate decision how do we choose will we return to those basic values those those morals and the standards that we have always held,

will we return to God and his principles? Remains to be seen, but I urge you to do it. Get on your knees and pray for the hearts of your countrymen to turn back to one another and to him. You're listening to Glenn. All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about keeps. Kyle and Josh were both losing their hair.

No shock since the dreaded male pattern baldness, Gene ran through their families. I know what it's like when you are getting ready to lose your hair.

We've been treating COVID-19. and we can go to work and we should probably rethink what we're doing because we may be doing more harm than good. Well, yesterday, YouTube took that video down, five million views, and they decided that you can't have that opinion. That's unbelievable. Today, we have another doctor.

He is the ICU director of Providence Cedars Sinai, Tarzana, in the medical center there. He's a pulmonologist. He says, we can get back to work tomorrow if doctors knew what he has learned in treating the virus. Is he going to be destroyed now for having an opinion?

He's a pulmonologist who says he has some important information to share with the public and doctors around the world. Welcome, Doctor.

How are you? I'm well, Glenn. How are you doing? Good. I appreciate you having the guts to come on and possibly say things that some people don't want people to hear. it's weird the situation that we're in right now. How can you help us navigate? You know, we've been treating patients for probably about six to seven weeks.

And the first few weeks, it was, our experience was the same as everywhere else where patients were coming in. They were becoming very ill on the floor. We really couldn't figure out why. We had to put them on ventilators. And before very long, I just saw more and more patients in my intensive care unit. And the thing that was very concerning was that, one, I didn't really understand what the process was that was causing them to get so sick. And two, what was really unusual was that it almost seemed like every single patient had a different type of a disease process.

Yes, they had what we thought was pneumonia. Yes, they were on a ventilator. But they weren't necessarily acting the same. If I can take you back to 10 years ago when we had the H1N1 epidemic, You know, at that time, I may have had 10, 15 patients that were on ventilators, but I can go into each room, and each of them had the same kind of pathophysiology. Maybe they were at a different stage of the disease, but essentially it was the same disease, which caused us to be able to predict what was going to happen. And these types of patients, there's really no predictability to it. everyone does something that's unique to themselves.

And that's what makes it so difficult to treat because, you know, you have no idea what's going to happen the next day. That's kind of scary. Is there another disease like this or another virus like this? You know, I've been a pulmonary critical care doctor for 20 years and I've been the medical director for over 10 years. And no, I have not seen this before in my experience. So I've been dealing with respiratory infections. Go ahead. I've just been dealing with respiratory infections of all types of viruses,

bacteria, even fungal infections. You know, there's always some sort of predictability. You know, there's always some sort of a disease pattern. Once you recognize the pattern, you can make the diagnosis, and then you could predict what's going to happen, and you could start a treatment plan, which, you know, will hopefully help the patient. And these types of patients, there really isn't any predictability.

So doesn't that make this harder to treat and wouldn't that say don't go to work? Because we don't have a handle on it. I guess, I mean, I guess it depends on where you're coming from. I was initially I trained in the 1990s in medical school and my internship. That was during the HIV pandemic. And to many different factors, this kind of reminds me of that, you know. There is a lot of fear. and unfortunately that's what we've kind of fed into as opposed to science and fact and logic.

And, you know, people don't want to necessarily go into the rooms and treat these patients and see them, which I can understand, you know, that there are, I've spoken to many doctors, many nurses, and some of them, not so much for the fear of their own lives, but some of them have spouses that are on, you know, that may have had transplants or on immunosuppressive therapy, and they're just concerned that, you know, not only can I die, but I can take something back home to my loved ones and hurt them. And that's not an unusual thought. I mean, the same thought went through my head as well. I think that's normal.

But you just have to say, okay, but I'm a physician. I'm a nurse. I'm a health care provider. I'm trained for this. I'm going to do the best possible to protect myself, and I'm going to do everything possible to protect my family. But I have to treat these patients. someone has to treat these patients. Okay, so you've just been asked to command, you know,

regionally across four more hospitals because you are performing way above you and your team, above any of the hospitals in the Los Angeles area. You haven't lost a single patient. No one has had to go on a ventilator. And you say that you have a protocol where you can find certain markers and you'll know who will crash and who won't. Well, first of all, under normal circumstances, there's 20 physicians that I supervise,

and we take care of patients at two different hospitals. Usually on a daily basis, we take care of 100 to 125 patients, about 30 to 40 of them that are in the intensive care unit. I work both at Providence, Cedar Sinai, Tarzana Medical Center, as well as West Hills Medical Center. although I'm not speaking for any entity. This is just my personal observation. I just want to make that clear.

Yeah, yeah. But that's our normal team that we normally take care of patients. And, you know, initially what was happening was, again, you know, patients were coming into the hospital. They were getting sicker. We're putting them in the ICU. And I just thought, okay, I don't understand what's happening. So I started reading.

I started researching. And one of the things that I first came up with was that, that, you know, these patients are having what's called a cytokine storm syndrome. And this is a very kind of rare... That's what happened in... That happened in 1918 with the pandemic as well. Did it not? I believe so, although I'm not sure at that time that, you know,

we had the technology to really find out exactly what was happening on a molecular basis. But this syndrome, what happens is that, you know, the patients that get very, very sick, the immune system normally mounts a response, Right. So if you get a bacteria, if you get a virus, it activates your immune system. And then the immune system coordinates its activity so that it can destroy the virus or the bacteria. But in a subset of patients, the immune system kind of goes awry. It doesn't act normally. And the immune system gets super ramped up.

And instead of attacking the virus, it starts actually attacking the patient's own vital organs. So what I started noticing was that, you know what, these patients that are going on the respirator, or these patients that are what we thought was the virus was causing pneumonia. No, these patients that are coming in and really suddenly becoming so sick, it's actually their own immune system that was causing the problem, not necessarily the virus. Now, don't get me wrong, this is a deadly virus and just like an influenza virus, it can definitely cause pneumonia.

It can definitely cause respiratory failure. If patients have emphysema or heart failure, it can definitely exacerbate those and need, you know, to them to get into the ICU for those diseases as well. But this was doing something unique. This was doing something that I really hadn't seen much in my 20 years, where it was activating the immune system. And then now the immune system was causing all the destruction in the lungs,

not just the virus itself. SARS-CoV-2 causes kind of two different clinical diseases. The first part of it is an infectious disease where the virus is a deadly virus and can seriously do some harm. But then the second, and I think this is probably the more important part, is it causes this activation of the immune system. And it doesn't cause it in all the patients, but it causes it in the subset of the patients to get hospitalized.

And these are the patients that we found were coming into our IC, the majority of the patients in our ICU. And once I started noticing this, I started looking for markers. And these are many markers. And how difficult is to find the markers, and can you be tested for that easily? or? Yeah, these are not any unusual markers.

Actually, a lot of the hospitals are checking the markers. But the problem is that there's about six or seven different markers. Some of the markers are important to rule out other disorders like other infections or sepsis and those types of things. And then some of the markers are important to kind of let you know that this inflammatory issue is going on in these patients. So you have to look at every single patient. individually, and you have to go through this kind of exhaustive checklist.

One, make sure that there isn't any other problem. Two, then make sure that, you know, to check to see if they're having this inflammatory problem. And then if they are, then you have to kind of watch them very, very carefully. And what we've noticed. If you're having the inflammatory problem, that's why, I don't know if you're a believer in this or not, but why hydroxychloroquine might work with some patients. and not with others.

Yeah, it's possible. I just think probably it wasn't as strong enough anti-inflammatory. It wasn't as strong enough immunosuppressin. And there's a lot of research that there's a lot of articles that came out and, you know, said that, and at this point we're not really using xithromax any of the theromycin anymore and the hydroxychloroquine from system-wide has been kind of on an as-needed basis in an individual case where you can insert whether the patient needs it or not. But the important thing was that, you know, when these patients had these inflammatory markers, they're elevated,

if you follow them very closely, you saw that, you know, a minority of them do have this problem where all of a sudden they rapidly, you know, get much worse. And they go from needing very little oxygen to needing to be intubated within a 6 to 12-hour process. And this was the exciting part where we can, before getting to that point, before needing to be on a respirator, we started treating them very aggressively with anti-inflammatory medication with strong immunosuppressive medications, which is kind of counterintuitive, right? You think that this patient is here to have a virus that's a deadly virus. It killed, what, 200,000 people across the globe.

But now, instead of treating the virus, you're actually giving medicine to suppress the patient's immune system, which is something that's really counterintuitive. But that was what worked for these patients. We were able to now, instead of putting those patients on a ventilator, we were able to give them the medicines early, which is, I think, very, very, very important to detect it early and to treat it early. And then at that point, you know, we're able to prevent them from needing to go on a respirator.

And that's what really has changed everything around for both of our hospitals over the past month. So why do you think more people haven't discovered this protocol? Or are you getting calls from people, you know, from other doctors and hospitals? I am getting calls from other doctors, and the calls I would say are kind of 50-50. There's a lot of doctors who, unfortunately, are looking for a quick fix, right? So what's the one test? What's the one medicine?

And that's the one thing I can't stress any harder to you and your listeners is there isn't necessarily one test, and there isn't any one particular treatment plan. Every patient has their own kind of individual disease, and we've had to treat every single patients now probably going on 30 to 35 patients that we've treated actively with this, with a different regimen. Not everyone, you know, you can't treat everyone with the same treatments. There isn't a one-size-fits-all for this disease. You have to do your due diligence.

You have to look at the patient in front of you and then, you know, come up with a treatment for the disease that that patient is manifesting. You can't just go through the ICU and start. handing out these medicines. If you give this medicine to someone who doesn't need it, you will surely kill them. So now you have to go through, you may have 10 patients in the ICU, and maybe three of them, maybe six of them have this. But the other three or four do not. So you can't just sit there and give this to everyone. You have to go through, go through the process with each and every one of these patients and figure out what's going on with them and then come up with the correct treatment for them.

One last question, doctor, and that is last weekend two ER doctors from Bakersfield. They have seen more than 5,000 coronavirus tests. They held a press conference. The local media covered it. And they reported their findings and said the coronavirus is similar to the seasonal flu for the most part. And quarantine is not helping build a herd immunity. And they were confident that reopening was safe. but it was their personal opinion.

This now has gone against what sounds spooky to me, the authoritative truth. And yesterday, the American College of Emergency Physicians and everybody else hammered them for this, for coming out and not walking in lockstep, and YouTube removed their video, saying that it was not part,

of authoritative truth. Does that concern you at all that we are silencing people that might disagree, but are not, you know, quacks? Yeah, I mean, I think anytime you suppress someone's freedom of speech and their thought,

you know, then I think that's dangerous. So I think, you know, especially from physicians who are on the front line, they need to be able to, you know, get out what they're thinking,

what they're seeing. I think it, you know, once you start suppressing that, it makes it very, very, very dangerous. The one other thing, Glenn, I wanted to kind of tell you, which is something that we've learned over the past week, is that, so this virus not only causes the infectious disease, okay, which usually manifests in the first week, but the more important thing is it causes an autoimmune disease. Okay, now the cytokine storm is one part of it, but the autoimmune disease that it causes could be anything.

So now you're reading about all these people who are getting blood clots, which are not responding to the common therapy. Or people who have strokes or people who have Gianbrae syndrome, which is a neuromuscular disorder, or people who develop myocarditis and cardiomyopathy and have sudden death. These are all an autoimmune disease that this virus triggers. Now, this isn't a unknown thing. We've known that viruses can, you know, trigger autoimmune diseases in the past. It's just that this virus does it in an extraordinary pace. It does it in a significant amount of the patients that we're seeing in our ICUs.

And I think this is the part that I would like to get out is that I don't think the doctors are recognizing that, you know, besides the virus causing damage, it's triggering an autoimmune disease. And it's the autoimmune process that's causing all the other parts. And it's important because I'm sorry, God. Go ahead. No, go ahead. Quickly finish. I'm sorry. We're just running out of time.

Of course. It's the autoimmune process that if we can detect early, okay, we're telling all these patients to stay home, stay home, stay home, and then by the time they're coming in, they're too sick. We're missing the part where we can pick up the autoimmune process. If we can detect it early, we can intervene early, we may be able to save a lot of these patients and maybe drastically change what we're doing in terms of, you know, having patients stay at home, having everyone be quarantined and all those kind of things.

Great. Dr. Tom Yadigar, the ICU director, Providence Cedar, Sinai, Tarzana Medical Center. Thank you so much for speaking out and thank you for sharing this information. And congratulations to all of the people that you work with on doing such an amazing job. Not having any of the patients on a respirator and so far you haven't lost a patient. Good job. Thank you so much. God bless. All right. Sorry, stations, we were running so late, but I thought what he had to say was really important. So we're going to quickly tell you about relief factor. Relief factor, certain types of pains that things like ibuprofen just doesn't touch. The kind of pain that just, you know, you just don't want to get out of bed. I urge you to try relief factor if you have tried everything. And we know patients and people, that have been on narcotics that just wanted to stop taking the car on narcotics, but couldn't handle the pain. Relief factor works. 70% of the people that try it go on to order more. And you can order

the three-week quick start for only 1995. It's relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. 10 second station ID. This is the Glenn Beck program. Sorry about that to our stations. We're going to have to take another break here in just a second, but, uh, I just, I, I, you know, I, I applaud any of these doctors who have the guts to come out and say something that is not in line with the authoritative truth. I don't, I don't think I've ever heard anything more frightening than the phrase authoritative truth, that this goes against the authoritative truth. That's why we have, uh, tenure at colleges. That's why we have the First Amendment. Because a lot of times what the founders said was against the authoritative truth of the king.

We cannot do this. You're listening to Glenn Beck. All right. I want to talk to you about life lock. Cybercriminals, it's like chum in the water. We are such easy marks right now. Recently, the FTC has received more than 100 reports of identity theft linked to the pandemic. I mean, it is just disgusting what these people will do. Many laid-off workers have discovered they're already victims of identity theft when they file for unemployment because somebody used their name. When you find out that somebody else is receiving benefits in your name already, it's really quite difficult and frustrating.

LifeLock will detect a wide range of identity threats and they work with you to resolve them when they do happen. I mean, what do you do? if that's happened to you, what do you do?

It's our biggest subscription savings ever. Well, you think things are bad here with coronavirus and our draconian laws now are rules that we're supposed to listen to. None of these are laws. The national police in Spain have made an example of a man who tried to circumvent the country's strict lockdown orders during the pandemic.

They have extreme stay-at-home orders. residents are not allowed to take a walk or jog alone. You are not to leave your house. Unless you have a pet, you may take your animals for a brief stroll so they can go to the bathroom. Well, the national police have now posted a photo showing why they issued a citation for a man who is simply walking his pet. He was walking around the block to get out of the house, carrying a fish bowl with his pet fish. Apparently, not good enough.

That's a good idea, though. I like the problem solving skills. Yeah. A Chinese pet owner has forced his dog to stay on the roof of his moving car without any protection while driving on busy roads because, quote, there was not any room left inside. No word on where Mitt Romney has been lately. And it's very bad luck to be a black cat,

especially in Vietnam, where they are, they are now said to, black cats are now said to be a cure for the coronavirus. And so, the people there are boiling the cats and then turning them into paste and selling black cats in the paste form as medicine. Even I who really despise cats think that is really, really bad. Because why is it only black cats instead of?

all cats. Racism. It's the only explanation. I think so, too. I think so, too. There is something else that is happening in our society that I think shows our falling standards. ESPN, which is wholly owned by the Disney Corporation, has made a decision to go with a documentary that they had planned, you know, years in the making and had planned on having it come out in a

couple months. but they have decided now that everybody is home, it's ready, why not run it while everybody can watch it together? I don't know about you, but I have a hard time finding anything that I can watch together as a family. And if there was a really inspirational, you know, documentary about Michael Jordan, I, even I might watch that with my family because it's something that we can all, you know, we can all get around and watch a great inspirational story.

Thank you, Disney. Well, that should be the story, but that's not the story. Yeah, it's a documentary called The Last Dance, and it's great, by the way. It's a 10-part documentary that looks at the 1998 championship season for the Bulls. And it was Jordan's last year with the Bulls and that whole team together. And it's really, really well done. They had incredible access. They got access for that season and basically told Jordan at the time,

we'll never do anything with this unless you approve it. So it's been just in a vault for, you know, 20 years, you know, and finally they decided to actually put this thing together. So it's really, it's, if you're a sports fan and you love, you know, watching basketball and loved Michael Jordan, the greatest player of all time, not an argument about that, then you would love this. So I'm, I love the documentary. I'm very excited about it.

And I realize this is 11 millionth on our, priority list right now, but when did ESPN make the decision that they were just going to run programming where they're just letting the F bomb fly like crazy without editing it? Like, is that a new thing? I've watched a decent amount of ESPN. I don't remember ever seeing it before. And a lot of it is like, it's not even, it's not like you're quoting a dictator, you know, in the news. and they say something and you want to keep it in there for historical context.

It's just guys commenting on other players and swearing in the middle of their sentences, like you would swear, you know, if you're just hanging out with the boys, right? And it certainly gives you a sense of it, but I don't understand the decision to not bleep any of these words. Now, they're apparently running the bleeped version on ESPN2. So if you want to watch it with your kids, I guess you can go there. And as you would know, Glenn, I'm, I'm, not advocating for any government intervention here.

I just don't understand why they would make that choice. I'd love to show this to my kids. And I guess I can if I start, I'd have to wait for them to run it again and record it on ESPN2 or whatever the process would be. But it's just a Disney-owned network making a choice that at 8 or 9 p.m. to just run a non-stop parade of F-bombs with no edits, even though they give a little bit of a warning of, you know,

mature language at the beginning. of the thing. I find that to be a real change in our culture. I can remember when South Park did this for the first time. They decided to air an unedited episode. You know, you watch something like it's always sunny in Philadelphia on FX. They swear there, though rarely the F-bomb, even there. And this is like one of the harshest shows on television. And you expect it from there. It's an adult show. This is, you know, it's ESPN. It's the marquee programming of their entire year, basically. This has been years and years in the making, as you point out. And they're just like, F bombs, S bombs, everything just flies without any beeps or anything.

I find it to be, you know, kind of a shocking cultural development. I have to tell you, I think that this has been accelerated in our culture by Netflix and Amazon and everything else. I don't know if you've noticed, but any of these shows or any of these things that are made on Netflix, that are not going to broadcast television, they all are, you know, full frontal nudity. Full, I mean,

just like, you're like, wait, what, what just happened? And, you know, I think for a while there, it was like,

hey, we could get away with this. Let's do that. But now it's just part of it. Now it's just, you know, I think it was, was it Mike Huckabee

that said maybe in 20, 2012 that, you know, he met with business leaders, women, and they would just use the F-bomb. And when did that happen? And I thought, well, in 2012, I thought it's because you're in New York and you're in Los Angeles and you're hearing that kind of stuff. You don't necessarily hear it in the center of the country. I think that this has permeated everything now. And I think it's because of the golden era of television. It's just everywhere, everywhere.

Yeah, and I think like Netflix and Prime both sort of entered, at least in my mind, as almost like an HBO competitor. They were going for that very highly, like critically acclaimed type of series. And a lot of that on HBO always existed, but it was pay TV. You know, we're now seeing this not only creep onto, you know, sort of adult, regular cable programming that's aimed at adults like, you know, it's always sunny in Philadelphia, to this on ESPN. and the thrills in the eyes of the CNN anchors when they can quote Trump swearing and not edit themselves, I mean, you could just tell they're like little giddy children. They just repeated, oh, S whole countries.

How many times will they say it? But they don't edit it like I just did. They say the whole thing because they, I don't know if they think it's like cool that they get to say it or it's like, you know, fun. I don't know what the deal is. But again, like you're trying to reach, you know, a new era of sports fans that don't know the source fans

that don't know this story from the 90s, why you just, you know, fill it. I mean, it's constant, Glenn. It's not like one time where you'd have like he's in the middle, Jordan's in the middle of the game, misses a shot and swears and they leave it in. I mean, it's constant in commentary and sort of confessional commentary

where they're just talking about the events. It's every other word. It's really, it's, I don't understand. Maybe that's why they did it because it's every other word. And so, I mean, what are you going to have left? It's not possible. Maybe I'm exaggerate. It's certainly not.

exactly every other word, but it's seemingly like every other cutaway to an interview. You know, someone does two or three sentences. They throw in a word. It's not uncommon is I guess what I'm getting at here. It's pretty like, it's pretty constant. You could clearly get away. If you remember MTV ran the Osbournes. Remember that series? I don't know what the name of it was, but it was, you know, Ozzy Osbourne. And he swore all the time. Was it the Osbournes? I don't remember. I think so. But they, he swore all the time and it was kind of famous for being beeped all, you know, kind of constantly. You'd think you'd get at least that out of ESPN. Again, a Disney property. It is, you know, because we're so caught up in so many things that are blatantly more

important than this. I mean, again, this should be very low on our priority list. But I feel like these things slip away if you don't notice them. Like, no one points it out and all of a sudden, you know, more and more shows are doing it. And I think it's just a market signal here. Is this what we want? Maybe it is. No, I don't think so. I honestly don't think so.

I just don't think anybody is prepared to corner the market. I mean, it was something that I wanted to do with the blaze, but it's so expensive to do quality that you have to have millions of subscribers to be able to do it or advertisers. So, you know, a conservative can't do it. but I just think there are millions of Americans that want quality programming, but would like to not have it offend their sensibilities. The biggest thing in my house is trying to get all of everybody down,

sitting down and watching something, you know, watching it together. I mean, if we could find a James Bond that also, you know, would sing Disney musicals, and there would be no swearing. I could get everybody into the same room. But my wife has her standards. I have my standards. The kids, they don't agree.

One likes action. One likes, you know, little romance stories. And we can't watch anything. We cannot watch anything. And it's so tough. Because what used to bring families together was Thursday. night TV, you know, must see Thursday night. And you could watch it. And then by 10 o'clock when LA law came on, they would have more adult

stories. But you at least have an hour where you could watch it with the family and not be, and everyone could enjoy it and everyone could watch it. It wasn't talking down to people, but it wasn't assaulting the children. I think there's a huge market for it, but nobody wants to do it. Nobody wants to do it. Nobody wants. to do it. And I don't understand why people don't want to make easy money. All right, I want to talk to you about rec tech grills. Oh, so last night,

we put some, we put some lights up in one of the trees behind the barn and moved an old picnic table back there. And we sat underneath this tree. Sun was starting to set. And I had put, I should say, my wife did yesterday.

You want to go to work? Go take the job as an essential worker. Glenn Beck goes one-on-one with 30 jobs host Mike Roe, who says all jobs are essential.

In Riverside County, California, they are allowing the pools to reopen.

And I think this is fantastic. Apartment complexes, homeowners association, hotels, motels, country clubs, all of those can, you know, be open. As long as there is only one person in the pool at a time. And one at a time? That sounds like fun. That does sound like a lot of fun. Yeah. I think that's a stay six feet apart in line and one at a time. So go have your fun, kid. Go enjoy. That sounds like a lot of fun. I think that might just be the end of this is we just all walk around in bubbles. The boy in the bubble maybe maybe not so crazy. Maybe that's the direction we go.

Kind of just kind of always encapsulated in our own little personal area. Did you see the article that came out that they are designing now like a spacesuit on what it will be like that we have to what we have to wear if we ever want to go

to a concert again? That's not going to happen. No. That's not going to happen. We're all going to go to concerts again. Yeah, probably at some point, obviously. I was I'd assume. I mean, the problem is, do all these venues collapse before that happens? I don't, I mean, they're all, they're all based on having thousands and thousands of people running in and out of them every day and selling lots of $14 hot dogs.

I don't know what happens when they go six months without it. I asked you the question the other day, Glenn, February 7th, 2021 is the NFL's Super Bowl. Does that actually occur on that date with a crowd? And you were like, I believe you said, no. I did a poll on Twitter, it was 50-50, that it would happen. That's in February. We're not even close. That's way, way in the distance.

And people aren't even sure that's happening. I don't know. I don't know. By the way, the DOJ will get into this tomorrow. The Attorney General has said the DOJ attorneys need to start looking at these little wannabe dictators all across the country, local and state level, and make them pay the price if they're violating civil liberties.
