Glenn argues that Restoring the Covenant is more important than ever during this “civil cold war.” A study found that many Americans are happier than they were a month ago. Glenn remembers one of his heroes, the late Seattle radio personality Charlie Brown. 40% of families are more likely to homeschool after the pandemic.

All right, there is a great story out of the Wall Street Journal today.

This is in the op-ed section. And it's called scenes from class struggle in lockdown. And it's brilliant. And the first piece that I have read where I think somebody really truly gets it, listen to this. I think there's a growing sense that we have to find a way to live with this thing, manage the best we can muddle through. COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon.

Summer may give us a break late fall. Probably not. Vaccines are likely far off. New therapies and treatments might help, but keeping things closed up tight until there are enough tests is not a viable plan. In the meantime,

we have to ease up and manage. We should go forward with a new national commitment to masks, social distancing, things, hand washing, these simple things that have proved most valuable tools in the tool chest. We have to enter each day armored up. But at the same time, we can't allow alertness to become exhaustion. We can't let an appropriate sense of caution turn into an anxiety formation. We can't become a nation of agoraphobics.

we can't we just can't be afraid of being outside we have to live carefully there's a class element in the public debate it's been there the whole time but it's getting worse a few people in public life are acting as if they're sensitive to it our news professionals in the past three months have made plenty of room for medical professionals and warnings of the illness good we need it that was news they're now not paying attention to to an equal degree of sympathetic attention to the living, those who are living the economic story, such as the Dallas woman who pushed back, open her air salon was thrown in jail. There is a class divide between those who are hardline on lockdowns and those who are pushing

back. The normal people aren't connected through professional or social lines to power structures, and they have regular jobs, service workers, small business owners. And since the pandemic began, the overclass has been in charge. scientists, doctors, political figures, consultants, calling the shots for the average person. But personally, they have less skin in the game. The National Institutes of Health Scientists, they're not going to lose their livelihood over what's happened. Neither will the midday anchor.

It's not that those in red states don't think that there's a pandemic. They've heard all about it. They realize that it is real and it will continue. They know they might get sick themselves, but they all. also figure it this way. Hundreds of thousands could die in the American economy taken down, which would mean millions of other casualties, economic ones, or hundreds of thousands that could die if the American economy is damaged beyond repair. There's foreclosures. There's unemployment. They'll take the latter. It's a loss either way. But one loss is worse than the other.

They know the politicians and the scientists can't really weigh this on a scale, any precision because life is a messy thing and doesn't want to be quantified. The article goes on to say, here's a generalization based on a lifetime experience and observation. Working class people who are pushing back have had harder lives than those now determining their fate. They haven't had familial or economic ease. No one sent them to Yale. They often come from considerable family dysfunction. This has left them tougher or harder.

You choose the word. they're more fatalistic about life because life has taught them to be fatalistic. They look at those scientists and reporters making their warnings about how tough it's going to be, but if we should lift shutdowns, it'll even be tougher. And they think, oh, what informed, caring observers? Or not. Rather, they think, you have no idea what tough is. You have no idea what painful is.

Why do you have so much to say? The overclass says, wait three months before we're safe. Their reply is, there's no such thing as safe. Something else is true about those who are pushing back. They live life closer to the ground and pick up other damage. Everyone knows the societal costs in abstract, domestic violence, child abuse. But these people understand it as concrete. A lot of bad things happen behind America's closed doors.

and the pandemic has made those doors thicker. Meanwhile, some of the governors are playing into every stereotype of the overclass. On Tuesday, Pennsylvania's Tom Wolfe said in a press briefing that those pushing against the shutdown are cowards. Local officials who cave into this coronavirus will pay a price in the state funding. These folks are choosing to desert their cause in the face of the enemy. In the middle of a war, he said to put state certificates such as liquor license for any businesses that open, he'll pull them. He must have liked sounding uncompromising like General George Patton. But he wasn't like General George Patton.

No sympathy, no respect, only judgment that part of Patton he had. Michigan Governor Whitmer called anti-lockdown demonstrations racist and misogynistic. She called the entire movement political. It was, perhaps, in part. But the clamor in her state is real and serious. People are in economic distress and worry that the foundations of their lives are being swept away. She might as well just called them deplorables. She said this protest will only make the lockdowns last longer.

Was that a threat or irony? Here's the thing. I think this is absolutely right. I listen to these elites, and I've given a pass that most people don't to Fauci. Because Fauci's job is to just focus on health. Somebody else's job is to then say, thank you, Dr. Fauci, Mr. President,

what he said, that's fine. but we cannot last because of the economic impact, because of this, because of that. So I give it to Fauci, but I don't give it to the press. And let me tell you this, all of these people who had lost their jobs, if Donald Trump would have been the one giving the lockdown orders, if he would have listened to the left and the press, and become a dictator and said, no, no one is opening up until this date, all of these stories of these businesses that are closing,

all of these stories of the guy who started his music store back in, you know, 1975 and it's been his dream and he wasn't rich, but he was happy. And now he had to close it. And the state came after him because he tried to open it up. And now he's lost everything. I guarantee you all of those stories would have been wall to wall on cable news, would have been wall to wall on the front. page of the New York Times.

But because it's the left that is doing this, they pay no attention to it. That's the sad thing about our country. And another thing that the press misses. Nobody wants other people to die. But the reason why America is so on edge right now is not just the lockdown. I believe Americans are happy warriors. We do it if you see. suggest it to us. If you, if you, if you force us into something, we don't want to do it.

But if we, if you just give us the information and let us decide for ourselves, we'll do it. As evidenced in, in Stu's show last week, he did a whole show on just the stats on how Americans went into lockdown long before the state or the government said, you should go into lockdown. lockdown. We knew we watched TV. We started to self-quarantine automatically. Now we've seen the results and if you're in New York City, you're not running out to a restaurant, even if they opened them today. You wouldn't be running out to a restaurant in a crowded movie theater. Here in Texas, it's not anything like it was in New York. You're still not running out to a crowded place. We wouldn't do it. Why? Because we're thinking human beings. We're not

cheap. I want to hear from people today. I want to hear from you 888727 BECK. I want to hear from the people who have lost their business or the people who have said my business is actually doing better. Or here's a surprise. I actually like the lockdown. And here's why. Or people who are struggling in one way or another and you don't feel your voices being heard. Those who feel absolutely alone. People who feel like nobody is saying this and to me it's so obvious.

Today is your chance to say it and I want to hear it. The number is 888727 BECK. I have some good things and bad things. A lot of the bad things. In fact, all of the bad things really kind of revolve around the economy and what I see coming in the economy

and my teenage, my teenage son, both my teenagers, but mainly my son, he's having a very hard time with school. But personally, I like it. I actually like doing the show from my house. I like not having my kids running to this practice and that practice. I like staying at home. I like the we have a siblings night where all the kids get together and they just play games and watch movies once a week. We have a family night.

I like this. I don't want to go back in many ways, but I'm one of the lucky ones. I love my spouse. I love my family. I love my job and I can do my job from home. And for me to, I could easily be one of those media people that say,

it's no big deal because it hasn't affected me. Not in a negative way. Financially, perhaps. But other than that, but there are people who are living on the edge when they say financially perhaps they're like financially I'm a wreck now not counting even those who have lost their job not counting those who have a spouse who's abusive or a spouse you just don't like I mean I can't even imagine that tanya and I were talking about this last week we haven't had an argument once not once this whole time that's got to

be rare love it so I actually like church I actually like doing the church the way we're doing it at home. So you're, what were you saying? Number one, you're a shut-in. You're basically just admitting that you never want to leave the house, which is fine. Oh, yeah, no, no, no, I am. But it's actually helping me overcome something else.

I'm also a hoarder. I mean, I'm not a weird, I mean, yes, I am a weird hoarder. I'm not one that's collecting magazines and they're all to the ceiling, but I see something of, you know, of history, and it could be worthless. Or worth a million bucks. It doesn't matter. I mean, I love it. If it's, if it didn't cost a dime or it cost a lot, it makes no difference.

I just like history. And I am a hoarder and I've got to get rid of a lot of this stuff. I am in my house and I'm like, Tanya, how have you lived in this house? Every closet, everything is full of crap that I've collected. And she's like, I know, would you go through that closet? And then I go through the closet and I'm like, but all of this stuff is really good. I don't know what to do. You're learning what things you need to address with a therapist later on, basically.

Yes. Yes. Exactly. Exactly right. Now, the fact that you haven't argued, is this because she's just dead inside or is this, how do you? Maybe a little bit. Maybe a little bit. She's just like, I don't care anymore. You've just, you've sucked the life out of me. Perhaps, perhaps. 888727 BECK. We'll go to the phones here in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Relief Factor. You want to talk about being dead inside. I was dead inside.

And really thought there's no way, there's no way I can keep this up. I don't know what to do. And it was the pain that I was living with every day. And if you've had debilitating pain or have it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you have it, I know exactly what you're talking about. You've tried everything. And that's maybe why you've held back and said, I don't know, a relief factor. Because you've tried everything.

You've gone to every expert. You've gone to all the doctors. They've tried all the medicine. Relief Factor. I heard it about it on the radio. It's not going to work. That's what I thought. Let me tell you something.

Relief Factor for me was a game changer. I have my life back. I know you. And I know what situation you're in. If you're in pain, I know what you're thinking. Just try it. You have nothing to lose. 70% of the people who try it for three weeks go on to order more because it's like me.

Yeah. That's really sad. He's an all-time classic. I mean, a great, he's great. I mean, going back to... Were you there when I did a stage show with him? Were you with me? In Salt Lake.

No, no. I did a... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a Fourth of July Stadium of Fire with him. And he was the co-host. And there was nothing like working with Fred Willard. And you could throw him anything and he could go.

I mean, he was really, you'd be like, Fred, isn't that an elephant in your nose? And he would go 10 minutes on. Yeah, Glenn, it's a, he's great. That's why he was so good. I mean, obviously the Christopher Guest movies he's really well known for. And he went a lot of T. I'd forgotten a lot of TV.

stuff, you know, Emmys and stuff for big series. But going back all the way to like Fernwood Tonight, I don't know if you ever watch Fernwood Tonight back in the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a great, innovative, crazy, brilliant show with him and Martin Mull. The guy is a, an all-time great. And it's, I mean, it sucks. He was working all the way to the end. Yep, he was. All right, let me go to Melissa in Texas. Hi, Melissa. How are you? Wow. Well, first off, I'm good. Glenn Beck, it's an honor to talk to you.

Well, thank you very much. It's an honor to talk to you, Melissa. So I was calling in to say I took care of my very first COVID patient last night. So I will say, disclaimer, only one patient, my very first one lady was asymptomatic. So precautions that we took, I was gowned up any time I was in contact with her, limited the amount of time I was in contact with her to protect me. Before I left work, I changed clothes, wiped down my shoes, took off my hair cap, put it in a plastic bag. Personally, I feel like I'm pretty safe.

I'm a young, healthy person, so I'm good. Precautions I'm going to take on my own without being instructed by any official by law is I called my sister, who I was planning on visiting this weekend, told her, hey, I came in contact. I think I'm okay, but you make the decision if you feel like I'm safe to come over to your house. Now, do you think, Melissa, this is, do you think this is because you're a nurse that you're doing that? Or do you think Americans have enough common sense to figure this out? I'm on the fence about that.

Because I will tell you, truthfully, the medical community is going just about as crazy as the common American. I'm quite surprised that as educated individuals, they're going nuts. and just, in my opinion, losing their common sense and going way overboard, my opinion. Well, that opinion will not be... You've just guaranteed that now we are no longer on YouTube

that this clip will be demonetized and banned and the WHO will be calling you now, Melissa. I know. Don't tell too much information about me. I don't want to be found. I know. I know. I know. Melissa, thank you so much for your phone call. Appreciate it. I'd like to hear from you.

Isn't it interesting that we are three months into it? And here's a nurse in Texas who says, I've just my first COVID patient, my first. I think we flatten the curve and we made sure that we weren't overwhelming the system. Maybe it's just me. 8.8-727 B-E-C-K-T, AAA, 727. Beck is our phone number. More in a minute. Gled Beck Program.

We want to talk to you today about the things that A, you feel need to be said because you feel like you haven't been heard. or things that you need to think need to be said because nobody's saying them. I'd like to hear about your life. For me, their life is so much less complicated.

I was talking to a member of our church yesterday. We were on the phone and we were talking and I said, you know, I'm actually liking this a lot because it feels more natural. It feels now I happen to not be living in an apartment. I live next to my family. So we are, we're all together as a family, but it seems more, it just seems right to me. Your situation may, you know, differ wildly.

But there are some good things. I'd like to hear about that. I'd like to hear about the things you're struggling with that don't seem to be understood by others. Amy in Washington, who've got, you've got Governor Inslee up there. How are you doing? I'm doing okay.

But not really. Why do you say not really? Well, I work in a public health office, and I'll kind of leave that out of it. But my struggle is that they put out all these really stupid guidelines last week on phase one clarifications and phase two clarifications for outdoor tennis, paddleboarding, horseback riding, all these other really stupid things. but they've done absolutely nothing to combat what's going on in the long-term care facilities. And I'm pretty out-spoken about it. What's happening there? Well, most of our deaths, most of our cases are in long-term care facilities,

and they'd like you to think otherwise. And I've been speaking out about it, and I've really pretty much gotten nowhere, and I'm just shaking, even talking to you about it. I'm sure nobody's that. I know it's moving because I'm more conservative, the most people that I work with. I moved here. I'm very shaken by everything that's going on right now, just in the country as a whole, but especially in the bluer states with the governors like this who have pretty much overtaking everything.

If you can't go out and play tennis safely, I don't know what you can do safely. Yeah, horseback riding seems like you should be able to do that. pretty safely. There are, tell me what's happening in your long-term health care facilities there in Washington that you think need addressing. There's, there's a horrible story.

I think it's from the post. I don't know, Stu, if you saw it, but there is a story about what the FEMA nurses that are volunteers from all over the country are finding in New York at health care facilities, at state-run health care facilities. I mean,

it's, it's really, really bad. There have been problems with facilities, you know, probably for 20, 30 years. I've been speaking up about it for quite a long time because all those things went unnoticed when this hit. It just made things much worse. And now all the facilities are locked down. Family members can't go in.

They're not sending a lot of inspectors in. So nobody really knows what's going on in them. So I can sit here and speculate on what's going on in them. Okay. All right. Okay. On what I think is going on there. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. We are going to get to the health care situation, long-term

health care in a while. Melanie's on the phone. Hi, Melanie. How are you? I don't know what I've done without listening to your program and all of you guys. You kept me going and kept my sanity because we were all laid off. Everyone lost their job. And yeah, we got our lousy little $2,400 for a couple. I have a 17-year-old son that I was self-employed with that he works with. Well, I guess he didn't count. He didn't get anything so he doesn't eat. But we live in an area, South Florida with old people. Nobody wanted any cleaning.

All the parties were canceled. And I applied for the PPP loans, being, okay, this is a lifeline. Went to all the trouble to three different places. They got all the receipts that predominantly cashed. did the payroll and everything. I pay him. He pays for his school. The bottom line is I got an approval code and said, okay, you'll be hearing from us. The second round's coming. You'll be hearing from the lender. And I waited and waited and waited and didn't hear it. Finally this Saturday, one guy called me back. The bottom line is he says, well, you took a loss on your taxes last year?

I said, it was the first year I was in business. I said, but you saw all the cash receipts and everything and what the expenses were. And I said, so you need to tell me I'm denied under $10,000 to tide us over a couple of months when big businesses got it? Well, yeah, that's our lending requirements. I said, I got an excellent credit rating. That doesn't count for anything. No, and it was devastating. So I said, all the big guys got the PPP stuff. And small people like Shelley Luther, who I'm sure couldn't get it either, couldn't get it.

And it's like, it's very discouraging because we just got on it. My other son just got his first unemployment check last week. What are we? Two and a half months, three months into this. That's how screwed up the Florida unemployment. So how are you managing, Melanie? We went through all of our savings, and it's like you just, there's no hope, but don't know. These people are still walking around here and masks on, mask on when they're jogging outside,

in their cars they've got masks. It's like total fear amongst the seniors that they're going to get sick and done. It's like paranoia. Probably more of them are going to die from hypercamping after listening to Pat. I'm walking out with the mask and everything. But I know. I feel the people when I go on the grocery store,

I say, look, you're working all day. These young people with masks on, what kind of long-term health care problems are they going to have from this? But it's bad. Melanie, hang on just a second. I just have to point out to the audience. You don't have any income coming in.

Your family has lost your job. You only have one unemployment check. You don't see your business turning around. You're not getting help from the government. Why is your mood so great? Oh, because I listen to you and you give me hope. I mean, that in my faith in God, God let me know that, you know, hey, the pastor yesterday that we listened to on TV, on the Internet. He said, you know what?

There's a lot of people in despair. You know, listen to God and don't give up hope. God's still in control. But it's hard because you don't know what the future is. You know, if my husband will be able to get a job, my gosh, he's 60 years old. I mean, what's the likelihood to getting a job at 60, at least not what he had? So you were applying for PPP. You were applying for PPP.

How much were you looking for? Under $10,000. I mean, it was like $6,000. And what were you going to do it? And what did you need it for? utilities and pay my son two and a half months. He gets $1,000 a month because I could claim he didn't have to pay income tax on it. He's paying for school.

He's getting a pilot's license. And he pays for all his own flying. And that's what that's what we're doing it. I mean, my husband's for the bulk of everything. But, you know, hey, you just deal with it. We paid for the utilities and his flying. but it's just amazing that Pete, you know, I don't know who got the loan. I haven't talked to anybody who did.

Oh, I take that back. One of the resorts did. But I just don't know what the future holds, and I think that's the scariest. All right. Well, here's what the future holds for you. I'm going to write you check for five grand and send it to you. And you take it and make sure your family is taking care of. I love your attitude, Melanie.

I just love your attitude. I mean, Why isn't it right? I'm very blessed. You believe in God. You have hope. You're very, I'm very blessed.

Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me do this. You've brought great joy to me in being somebody who is really struggling

and is, is making it. We'll be aware of what the PPP is not doing for people. We're all in this, we're all, this in this all together. All you have to do is just hold on the line and we're going to get a number from you.

And we'll send you that. All right? God bless. Stick to it and stay with it and don't give up hope. All right. You want us to disconnect her so we don't have a number, right? Just want to make sure. Yeah, of course.

We're not on the air, are we? No, no, no, of course. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm not doing that again. I'm not doing that again. but I just, when she said, I believe in God, and I felt like at the time I was like, I should help her. And she said that. That's what we are supposed to do with each other.

Hi. Hi, yes. I, lots of business stuff. And, wow, need $100. Yeah. Wow, family. Yeah. Yeah.

See you later. All right. Send me. Here's our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is, I don't have, where is it? ZipRecruiter. Okay, yeah, this is great. ZipRecruiter is perfect because if you are struggling and you are looking for a job,

We need to get some information from, hang out. Is this her? Hi, I'm here. Yes, this is Melanie? No, this is not, this is not, Melanie. More money? No, this is not.

You gave me last time. Yeah, so tell me about yourself again, Melanie. Uh, I'm a housekeeping business or? You sound like you're, you sound like you're not sure. I think my son's a captain of a boat. Okay.

No, Thomas, thank you. Welcome to the Gled Beck program. Hello, Thomas. I wanted to go to Thomas first. If I could go to Thomas. Hello, Thomas. Hey, Thomas. Oh, Glenn.

Yeah, you're Thomas. I'm Glenn. That's all right. No, the thing I want to point out is that conservative radio in general has missed a very significant point. And that point is that governments can be lawless themselves when they deny higher law. The Declaration of Independence is, the preamble and the text of our country, and it specifically addresses this lawlessness.

And basically, the principles of socialism allow people to break higher law in perpetuity for the benefit of those in power. But I've got a few other comments, but I'll delay so that you can address what I've already mentioned. Well, I think we have. I don't know what talk radio you are listening to, but we have been addressing that, you know, governments are instituted among men to protect these rights, and they are not protecting these rights. They are instead abusing those rights to claim to give us an overriding right of being

safe. And there is no way, that's not a guaranteed right. In fact, a right that's never been issued to any of us. All right, Thomas, one more comment. Go ahead. Okay. I bring up the example of Shelley Luther and Judge Eric. Judge Eric needs to be pointed out as a law breaker. That's the point I'm trying to make. He is breaking higher law. He is violating it. And he's an open rebellion against the people.

And he demonstrated that with his ruling on Shelley Luther. Yep. Thank you, Thomas. I appreciate it. Let me go to Chris in Missouri. Hello, Chris. Chris, are you there? Yes, I'm here.

You're a pat-head? Go ahead. Yeah, so that full disclosure, that is where you know of this conversation. going. I was called. All right. I got it. I got it. 1099 struggles, but I figured I'd intersect some good. This coronavirus lockdown has actually brought me closer to my daughter. We lost her mom, my wife at birth, and I've always seen dropping her off at daycare

and picking her up as, I'm embarrassed to say, like somewhat of a burden. But now it's between her and I. It's just I'm enjoying every day that I get to spend with her. And, you know, I picked up a job at a, you know, I'm a realtor, so I picked up a job, an extra job at a big box store just to make some extra money. But I just can't wait, spending time with her now. I know. It's great.

Chris, thank you for you that comment. My family is closer than I think we have ever been as well. and it's amazing the things that as a dad, at least I can say as a dad, the things that I have not done in the past, just because I've been busy or I've been at work. And now that I'm here, just the ability to get up in the morning and say good morning to the kids or have lunch with the kids or just even just, you know, pop in on the grandkids and say, hey, what's going on? Is really fantastic. And it's been, hang on.

Okay, is this Melanie? Hello. Hello. Hi. Hi. Yes. Yeah, Melanie's son here. Yeah.

And I know you. I've listened to you for a very long time. Just wanted to say, I know you're skeptical of the banks and the government.

You don't even need to look outside.

I'll be there. Let me go to back to the phones at 888727 BECK at the top of the hour. Also, I want to talk to you about some of the things the lockdowns are enhancing.

You've heard me talk about my Toccovis boots and how much I love them and what a great company they come from. It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas. Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country, Tukovus has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Tukovus boots. The cowboy. Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy,

but I know some of those guys and not being one of them, them I wouldn't pretend to be. But what I see in them, I see in other people too. Because in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset, an uncompromising can-do attitude, a willingness to help even when it's really hard. And most of all, the cowboy knows that the good guys always win in the end. So as you begin the hard work of bootstrap in this country and economy back into shape, Tocovus has the boots you need. find your pair at tocovis.com. T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash Beck.

I've been asking you today to call in and tell me how you're doing and tell me the things that you've been shouting about inside, the things that you think need to be said and haven't been said. Well, I got to make a confession to you next. I feel like every word I have spoken in the last hour has been really difficult for me to get out and during the last break I realized I can't it's because I have something to say that needs to be said and nobody is saying it and I'll explain it to you in 60 seconds stand by this is the Glenn Beck program

All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Norton. Norton security. I mean, Norton's been around for a very long time, and we've known them as the, you know, the antivirus people. And they've gained a great name because of that. Whenever we've had a problem with viruses, Norton was the go-to place. So Norton.com now is adding extra layers because it's not enough just to do antivirus. You need all kinds of things. And Norton now has added powerful layers of protection for your devices so you can maintain your online privacy. What you need is Norton 360. Now, Norton is partners with LifeLock. And so LifeLock is part of that if you wanted to bring LifeLock into that toolbox. But you got to think of Norton as really a toolbox here.

adapting their algorithms to you because they can't predict you. They don't know who you are. They're not gathering information. Now, nobody can stop everybody from gathering all information on you. Nobody can prevent all cybercrime. But Norton 360 is a powerful, powerful ally. It is the toolbox. Get up to 50% off your first year now with the annual subscription at norton.com slash

where I'm a group of people or whatever. You're like, what are you doing, man? What are you doing? And I don't know if you've ever had one of these. I don't know if I've ever even had one of these, but it was a group of people that were saying, you know what has to be done. You know what has to be said and you're not doing it. And I said, well, I'm trying, but, you know, COVID and everything else. and I realized how it just as dream just kind of put it into terms.

It doesn't have to be anything. It just has to be said and has to be done. So I was planning on meeting with some people today to take care of it, but I am so moved by I have to say this to you today. And it revolves around what we were trying to do at Gettysburg. And because of COVID-19, I don't know exactly what we're going to be doing. But that whole thing with Gettysburg, the point of it was is to call America back to God and make a covenant with God. And that's where it has gotten dicey for all people involved.

I mean, there is a state, I think, Senator or Representative up in Pennsylvania that tried to just get the state of Pennsylvania. to reissue the national proclamation that Abraham Lincoln issued right after Gettysburg. And she was called all kinds of names. It was, I mean, it went nowhere. It went nowhere. And it kills me because everything in this proclamation, I think, appeals to us today. We tried to get a proclamation through some of the state houses. we've tried to get this proclamation done by the United States Senate,

and it is a non-starter. Like, no one will pick it up. No one will pick it up. And so I believe the American people need to pick it up, because I don't care what Washington does. Washington is not us. We are not just our government. We the people are in charge.

And we the people must lead. so I want to tell you what I think needs to be said and we need to come together as a people and make this covenant. And I'll give you more details on what the hell, how we're going to do it, hopefully by the end of this week. But it's not going to be anything grandiose. It's just going to be done. Let me read this proclamation verbatim. And when I'm reading it, I think there's only one place that needs to be changed, really. and it's two words, civil war.

You could just add cold to civil war, civil cold war. But that's the only place that it has a message that is not today. So listen to this. Whereas a joint committee of both houses of Congress has waited on the president of the United States and requested him to recommend a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting to be observed by the people. the United States with religious salimities and offering affirment supplications to Almighty God for the safety and welfare of these states, his blessing on our arms and a speedy restoration of peace. And whereas it's fit in becoming in all people at all times to acknowledge and

revere the supreme government of God, to bow in humble submissions to his chastisements, to confess and deplore their sins and transgressions in the full conviction that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and to pray with all fervency and contrition for the pardon of our past offenses and for a blessing upon our present and prospective action. And whereas when our own beloved country once by the blessings of God united prosperous and happy is now afflicted with faction and civil war, it is particularly, fit for us now to recognize the hand of God in this terrible visitation and in sorrowful remembrance of our own faults and crimes as a nation and individuals to humble ourselves

before him and to pray for his mercy and to pray that we may be spared further punishment the most justly deserved that our arms may be blessed and made effectual for the re-establishment of law and order and peace throughout the wide extent of our country. And the inestimable boon of civil and religious liberty earned under his guidance and blessing by the labors and sufferings of our fathers may be restored in all of its original excellence. I therefore Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do appoint the last Thursday in September next is a day of humiliation,

prayer, and fasting for all the people of the nation. I do earnestly recommend to all the people, and especially to all the ministers and teachers of religion of all denominations, and to the heads of all families, to observe and keep that day according to their several creeds and modes of worship in all, in all humility, and with all religious solemnity, and to the end that the united prayer of the nation may ascend to the throne of grace and bring down plentiful blessings upon our country. I've set my hand upon the seal, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. When he made that proclamation, we had lost all but one battle, I think, one or two battles in the Civil War. It was a halfway point. After this proclamation, I think we won every battle except one. I think that we are living in a time where God has blessed us with this coronavirus. He hasn't cursed us.

He's blessed us with this coronavirus. It has caused a great deal of pain, but I also believe that it is able to bring us a great deal of happiness and perspective and wisdom. There is a poll that is out today, and this poll shows an unprecedented increase. in self-reported worry. So the say, but if you look, if you look at that poll that was released, that worry

is down from April. April, the beginning, March and early April, that's when all of us, we were, we were so worried about everything. I want to give you today's poll. March,

23rd through April 5th, Gallup took a poll and they said, are you happy? The percentage of Americans that said they were happy was 67%. The percentage of Americans answering that question between April 27th and May 10th, this last poll has gone from 67 to 72% Americans that are happy. I'm not seeing that reflected anywhere. and why is it we're happy? I just heard from a woman in Florida. She doesn't have anything going her way.

And she was still happy. She had hope. She had hope. She had faith. How many of us are worried? 59% back at the beginning of this thing, we're worried. How many are worried today? 47.

It doesn't mean that we're not worried about anything. We got lots of things to worry. worry about. Just means we have it in control. How many of us are bored? We're locked up. How many of us are bored? 46% when this thing first began, down to 41% today. Loneliness is flat 24 to 24. This has been a great blessing. I think there are many things to be grateful for because of the COVID virus. Yes, I know there is suffering. I know there is pain. I know there has been death. lots of it but there is also perspective there is there is gratitude for the things that we do have there is an understanding of what really is important there is a great awakening of how

important our families are versus how important our jobs are there is a great awakened spirit of what's really important in your life and how much of it is just meaningless all the things that the world told us we needed to care about i care about my kids in school right now and i care that they're not learning what they need to learn but i'm not concerned because of college i'm concerned because there are things they have to know to be prepared to be a productive member of society. And for as bad as schools have been, and some schools are great,

they were providing that basic service. And now they're missing out on that. And how long will their life be delayed or set back if we continue to do this? But I have hope in the future. I don't necessarily have hope that our government, it's going to fix anything. But I have hope that Americans get it.

They get it. They're not seeking power. You know why some of our lives I think we're happier is because a lot of people just aren't paying attention to the news anymore. They're paying attention to the COVID news, but they're not paying attention to all the crap that's going back and forth. All the stuff that we listen to, that we debated that we talk about all day long, who said what and what was.

God, how could anybody be happy listening to all that stuff? None of it means anything. We've been given this opportunity, I think, to recognize how great we have it, to recognize what's really important and hopefully to recognize, wow, we have gone astray and we like sheep have gone astray, each to his own way. and we just need to recognize these certain rights because they're not ours, they belong to him.

And governments are instituted among men to protect those rights. And our governments all around the country are not protecting those rights. They're going the other way. And that's why the people are upset. That's what the people are worried about. That's what's making people go into the streets. Stop treating me like this is your country and not my country. you don't tell me what to do you represent me i don't know how we're going to do it so we can't all

get together but we can all come together one way and i'll be telling you about it sometime later this week hopefully because we've got to do it because when i'm having dreams about it when i can't stop thinking about it in the first hour of the show and i just i'm just being crushed by it i got to talk to you about it i'm not i'm not i'm not I'm a bad liar. And I can't. I just, I have to say the things that are on my heart.

And this is on my heart. And I urge you. I urge you to go to the internet now and just download Abraham Lincoln's proclamation of a day of fasting. And I want you to read over it and read over it with your family. And tell me, tell me where that's out of date. Tell me where that's controversial. Tell me why.

in this proclamation, it says that we have waited on the president to observe this. And so we, the House and the Senate, call on him to observe and how I can't get anyone in Congress to move. No one will even be brave enough to bring it up, to present it, let alone vote for it. When there is no vision, the people shall perish. There is a vision, and we're denying that vision. And it's the vision of our founders set forth in our Declaration of Independence. And that is the vision that made us who we are. That is the vision that made America great.

That is the vision that America is hungry for, both left and right. That everyone is equal. And we're born that way. And it's what we do with our life that sets us apart. But we have that right to pursue happiness and stop denying those basic rights to us. we must turn back to him more in just a second let me pause for 60 seconds American financing NMLS 1 82334 www.mLS consumer access.org American financing a little taste of some good news

We were talking to Tim in Maine, and he's got a son who has ADHD. And how is this affecting him, Tim?

He works away from us. But he was diagnosed with ADHD. With that, he, other people, he's going to die. He go out. He said death and not be able to get out. He's scared. to death. He's got no money. He's got to come back to the farm where he can, uh, this frightening thing that, uh, the child goes to dark places and he never was before, but it's all stimulated by this.

I think, I think we all have, I mean, many of us have stories like that. We have, you know, our kids, uh, have all gone through a bout of depression, uh, from this. Um, and all of the, all of the family has had their different bouts of, you know, my son in particular is in high school and, you know, typical teenage boy and likes to be out and playing with friends and doing things. And he is really having a difficult time with all of this. But we're weathering it. But I don't think people are paying attention to the severity of what's happening behind the closed doors in America. and the media is completely off of that because it would play into the narrative, I guess they would think of Donald Trump, open up the country. And so they're missing all of these real stories that are affecting real people.

Thanks, Tim, my best to you and your son. Mike in Florida, hello, Mike. Hi, Glenn. How are you? Good, how are you? Ah, hanging in there. So how are you dealing with the lockdown? I got to tell you, it really hasn't affected me much.

In fact, I'm actually liking it a lot better working from home. Luckily, I work at a call center, so the transition to working at home was rather simple. I don't have to see the coworkers that really get under my skin because they don't do their job. Right. Yeah. It is good for that. You're not spending part of your day going, why is that person still have a job? You don't have any of the job?

that during your day, which is very nice. I'm more productive at home because I can actually smoke while working and not have to worry about, you know, going up. I will tell you, Mike, that studies are showing that on general, businesses are finding that people are much more productive at home. And I don't know if I'm more productive. I think the quality of my work is up, you know? I think I may spend less time, but I'm doing a better job at it.

Have you found that, Stu? Well, I mean, I haven't been working at home. I've been here. Oh, yeah, that's right. I haven't, it's been a weird thing. See, you have a double whamming. You've gone in to work. And so you've really started to like the commute.

Yes, the commute is much better. I know. Today was the first day I really noticed an uptick. in the amount of cars on the road. And, you know, for us, essential people, unlike you, non-essential people, like Glenn Beck. Us essential people, we've been talking about it now. We're just like, oh, gosh, the non-essentials are coming back.

Do you believe this? They're starting to come back out on the roads. They're starting to be businesses. We're looking down on those non-essentials who are now crowding our roadways and grocery stores and, you know, gas stations. You'd lead a campaign to have license plates that are different for essentials and non-essentials. You'd be like, yeah, like, you can respond to that 911 call if you want, but it's a non-essential

worker. Yeah. I don't know if I would. All I'm saying is, look, don't we deserve our own roads? Should we be on the same roads as the non-essentials? It just seems absurd. No, I get it. I get it.

I get it. All right. back to the phones. Who's next on the line, Sarah? Hi, Stephen. Welcome to the Glenbeck program. Glenn, good to talk to you, buddy. Good to talk to you, my man. What's happening? Hey, listen, so I got a lawn care business for North Carolina, and every day I'm out here hustling and making it work, and I got your program in my earphones every day from 9 to 12.

And, you know, when this whole shutdown first started, my wife said, what are you going to do? And I got out a piece of paper, started making out of schedule, contacting customers. I said, I'm rolling. We're not stopping. And our governor here, even though he's a tyrant, religious tyrant, he kept essential workers as long care. And so I was able to work through it. But it didn't matter because if he had not, I would have kept working anyway. And I think that's one of the problems.

people should have just kept working, just kept going, keeping businesses open, you know, like the Shelley Luther lady and the Mikey guy up in Michigan with a barber, just keep working. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep going. We are not a people that can be shut down. Like you were saying, you know, a couple weeks ago, I heard you say, we're just not that type of people. And I've been working every day nonstop.

I've been even more busy than I ever have been because some people are afraid to get out, some people are afraid to do things. and I've just been, I hate to say taking advantage of it. I'm not, but they've been thanking me for coming out and, you know, keeping their lawns looking good, but I just kept working, and I'm still doing it. I don't need anything from the government. You know, I just, I don't need it. I don't want anything, and I feel sorry.

I feel terrible. That lady you had on earlier that you gave me the money to, the house cleanly. I've thought about, you know, people like that. That was heartbreaking hearing that lady, and that was such a good deed you did for, but, I mean, those are people everywhere like that. And I've been telling people about it. And I've been so blessed and thankful. Let me tell you this real quick, though.

One reason that's in our genes about that, my grandfather was in the Navy in World War II. He had enlisted when he was 17 years old. And when the Navy found out about it, they didn't have instant background checks and stuff like that. And when they found out about it, he was on a ship in the Middle Pacific, and they sent a helicopter to go and get him. And they told him, you know, look, we're sorry you can't, you know, be in the war. when you're 17, but when you're 18, you can relist and come back. And when he turned 18, he went right back to the Navy and went, he's Billy's so strong in the country.

And when Ronald Reagan, President Reagan, found out about in 80s, he sent our family a letter of accommodation. That's who we are. We just rolling. We just keep going. We don't stop. And that's the same thing from, I'm just working. I'm continuing to work.

I'm more frightened to the people who are scared of this whole thing and all that, you know, than I am really of the virus itself. They're frightening people that want to shut down, you know, workers. And I listen, I listen to you every day, nine to 12. I got you on in my earphones. I got headphones on. And I listen to you guys, and you kept me going. And, you know, I'm thankful for that.

And I'm thankful for you guys. Well, thank you. I'm working nonstop. Yeah. Steven, I'm glad. I'm so glad to hear from you. Thank you for your spirit. Thanks.

Thank you for continuing to go on. and it's it's amazing to me because as you're you're talking to me about um uh you know that's not who we are and your grandfather i'm reminded of a story of and i can't remember his name somebody i mean google has it so somebody can look it up real real quick but he was one of the first guys we you know the pony express didn't go on for very for very long and the pony express in the job you know flyer if you will the the the posters they wanted to young orphans because the life expectancy of these pony express riders was, you know, six months to a year. And they would be taking the mail through the most dangerous parts of the country.

And they just wouldn't stop. They would actually switch horses along the way, grab some water, get back on the fresh horse, and continue to ride. Well, one of them was like this 10-year-old kid. and I can't remember his name now, but he rode and he was just, the kid was fearless. He does Pony Express. Then he, I think he fights in the Civil War. He fight in the Civil War as a Pony Express right around that same time. Then he goes and he applies to fight in World War I.

He fights in the Spanish-American War, World War I. then he applies to fight in World War II, but he's so old. They're like, dude, you can't. He goes up to Canada and tries to get into the Canadian military. The British say will take you, but instead we decided to put him on the road here to help raise money for war bonds here in the United States.

But the guy just wouldn't give up. And those are the stories that used to stir us. you know i was talking to somebody this weekend about a series of books these there are these great books that were um written in the 30s 40s 50s and they started to fall out of fashion in the 70s they were all kids books and they all talked about heroes uh american heroes and foreign heroes all over the world and you know we were talking about how they were driven by the story and yeah they didn't have all the details and they didn't have all the details and they didn't have all the bad things in them, et cetera, et cetera.

So people would say, well, then they're technically wrong. Well, no, because what they were were stories. They were stories to make us understand who we are and who we can be. So, yeah, the new history books, some of them you could say maybe are more accurate, but I wouldn't say that because they're so skewed the other direction and so skewed with lies. This, what, 1619 project with the New York Times

is an abomination to history, an absolute abomination to history. But they started doing it slowly. They started, you know, checking all of the boxes on, well, let's make sure we really focus on all the bad things here as well. Then they just went off the rails

and started making things up. But the point of history is not the year. I don't care. 1692, the Columbus sailed the ocean. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care who the commander of the army at Stony Point was in the Revolutionary War.

Don't care. Now, if I need to know that, I can Google it. If I need to know the date, I'll Google it. The date might mean something if it's connected to something else. Sure. but I need to know the story. I don't care that Stony Point was taken by Matt Anthony Wayne. What I do care about is that he and his men fought and fought and fought.

And about one o'clock in the morning, he was shot in the head. And they're like, you got to get off the battlefield. And we now know him as Matt Anthony Wayne said, no, the battle's raging. and they put a bandage around him. The guy's got a bullet hole in his head. And he's got a bandage around him. He continues to fight. They win Stony Point.

No. Do you even know about the Battle of Stony Point? It was very important at the time. Do you even know? Do you even care? Here's why I care. Not only did Man Anthony Wayne continue to fight all the way through it. He then sat down and wrote a letter to George Washington.

and said, I have to write, still with the whole bleeding in his head, said, first, I have to write the general and tell him what happened. And he writes a simple note and it just says, Dear General, the garrison and the fort are ours, period. Your men fought like men determined to be free, Anthony Wayne. That's the important part. Your men fought like men who are determined to be free. We need to start telling our stories again.

We need to start looking for those people. You know, quite honestly, our last caller sounded like a man determined to be free. All right. Time now for a little real estate agents. I trust testimonial. I love these. I told you a while back that one of the people who works for me remotely in Wichita, Kansas moving to the Dallas area.

He looked into real estate agents, I trust. And yesterday morning, their agent, Kirk, put the house on the market in less than 11 hours. The house was under contract, significant amount more than even the asking price. Josh says, Kirk was there with us every single step of the way. He knew precisely what we needed to do to get the house ready, even pointed us towards the best people to do various jobs for the best deal. smart professional helpful every step of the way the card may be the best captain but Kirk is the best realtor that's the experience you get from real estate agents I trust the name says it all if you want to sell your house right now is the time

get the best real estate agent real estate agents I trust dot com that's real estate agents I trust dot com this is the Glenback program this is the Glenn Beck program so Stu Stu and I go on the break he's there with it's Bronco Charlie Miller Charlie Miller was that was that kid I was telling you about

so what facts does Google now give you that are more powerful than the story really none but clean up the story tell me about him well I mean I think you know it seems like you pretty much had it done

his his elderly attempt to get into the military seems to have been World War I. He did live until 1995. But when he went to Canada and tried to get in the military, he was 67 years old

and then tried to convince Canada he was 44. And I guess apparently it worked. He fought for Canada. Wow. Yeah, so he was in the Pony Express. Then didn't he fight in Cuba or something as well?

Did he say that? Um, he, he's, one of the things that he's not really known for, um, is he was a hard living guy. He was a drunk and, uh, and, um, and, and, and, and, and not really a believer in God. And he turned his life over in a Salvation Army meeting at one point, transformed his life. Uh, and he's just a, he's a fascinating guy. But, you know, those old books that I was talking about. those children's books, they absolutely had one on Bronco Miller. And it's a story we don't tell anymore.

And when we lose track of where we came from and who we came from, we then lose who we really are. This is the Glenn. Thank you so much.

Because no one is working from those ghost towns. Let me go to Jeannie in New Hampshire. Hello, Jeannie. How are you? Hello, Mr. Beck. How are you?

I'm very good. I've heard today it's overcast, so you're coming in clear. I don't always hear you. All right, all right. And when I do hear you lately, I've heard you mention, your concerns about abuse, domestic abuse. And I've always, I'm a little dyslexic. It's like being a little pregnant.

It doesn't exist. It's no way when you're 72. And I need to own a book in order to read it. So whenever you would come out with a new book, I would get it because I could read your books. And probably the best book on abuse was written by you. Really?

Snow Angel. And I remember being at a fair once that was run by a woman's group that did a lot with domestic abuse and I mentioned it to the woman and I said it was written by Glenn Beck and her arms went immediately across her chest

and her foot started tapping. I gave that book to a friend. It was so clear she was being abused. And it started the way abuse always does. They first annihilate you from your family, your friends. They start with the newest, so they're the easiest to get away. But in that book, it shows that indeed God is always with you. And there are people who really never leave you. And they're there for when you need them. And she read that book, and when she was finding, able to get strength and courage.

Your book helped her to get to where she is today, which is in the safe place. She is still fighting the abuse because abusers continue to abuse. Yeah. No matter what. And she still refers to your book. Oh, thank you, Jeannie. I appreciate that. You know, that is the one book that I don't felt I wrote that actually wrote itself.

I was actually on stage. Excuse me, my dog is somebody must be at the door. But I was on stage and there was a place on one of the shows that I was doing where I was on stage and I didn't have to say anything for about 10 minutes, maybe not even that long. and it was towards the end of the show and I sat there and that entire story downloaded into my head and when I walked off stage I said to the person

who was standing there the stage manager I said I need a piece of paper and some pencils quickly and I went back out took my bow and then I sat backstage and wrote down all the points of that story and it was written really for my sisters as we grew up in a abusive household.

And, you know, at the end of my father's life, he was abusive in a weird way. He allowed abuse to happen. He became my mother instead of his father who was abusive. And he just, he or he became his mother, who just stood. by the abuse instead of being the abuser. And he kept repeating this pattern.

And at the very end, my father, who had become my best friend, we were estranged at the very end because we had an intervention and it did not go well. And it's something I struggle with still to this day, trying to understand abuse. And I don't think you ever can.

It's just a sickness. And sometimes it's a sickness that goes on and on and on. And it should be all of our goals to stop it in whatever form it takes in our home. Otherwise, if we are not strong enough or we think we're not strong enough, or we allow it to go on in some other way. but we're not the abuser this time. It continues generationally.

Thank you for reading that book. It's called the Snow Angel, if you haven't read it. It's a great story. Mike, welcome to the Glenbeck program. Good morning, Glenn. It's great to be on with you. Thank you, sir. A long-time, long-time listener of Glenbeck every morning,

first-time caller. I spoke with your receiver earlier. Here in Maine, Yeah. We've obviously been less affected by the viruses in most of the country, fortunately, but economically that has been no different. I'm a small business owner. I train race horses, which our season came to a stop because of that. And I applied for the PPP loan, which I wasn't surprised that I didn't get. But aside from that, a couple of the people invest with me that buy horses with me, they have other businesses that are doing just fine through this.

They did not apply for the PPP loans. This is four different cases, and their local banks call them to say that your business, you know, your good customer of ours, you haven't applied, there's a certain amount of money that we have available. You folks need to come in and get signed up for this to get that loan. And these were a couple of few businesses that weren't going to lay anybody off. In fact, one of them was a trucking company that's actually,

busier than usual, and another convenience store owner that has stayed open to it all, and they've actually found their profits have increased. Just that's quite a, quite a problem in the way that system is set up, unfortunately, and some of the small ones that really are struggling, they're getting left behind. Well, I will tell you this. I do know that if you have a good relationship, we've heard this from the beginning, if you have a good relationship with the bank, you have an easier time getting it. If you just started your business, you're just, you don't have a chance of getting it.

The way it was set up is, you know, is flawed, but it was it was set up in the middle of the night overnight and everybody is just playing it, I guess, the best way that they can to some degree. I think there are some sharks out there that are also using it. But I'm sorry to hear that, Mike. How's your business holding up? Well, we race seasonally, and we usually start the very beginning of April. So as you can imagine, after about three months with no income, we were just about to get the ball moving and down the field. And the brakes came on. So we've been sitting idle for a couple months.

Our industry is struggling financially because of that. But things are starting to open up. We're very hopeful that we're going to get the green light in the near future and be back and running. We certainly hope so. My family, I happen to be blessed. My wife is an RN, so it's not as though we're without income. But some of my colleagues that totally rely on this industry being agricultural based on the move, certainly really struggling right now.

But we're hoping to climb out of it in the very near future. Thank you very much, Mike. God bless you. And best of luck to you. Let me go to Daniel. Hi, Daniel. You're on the Glenn Beck program. Hi, Glenn. How are you doing?

Hi. Good. I just want to, honestly, this whole quarantine has been a breath of fresh air for our family. My wife has spent most of the last five years bedridden with various illnesses and has just now starting to find help. Oh, that's great. It's been, yeah, so it's been really just an opportunity. I have two kids, a 10-year-old, and another boy just turned seven. So from the family side, it's really been just an opportunity to really just reconnect instead of having to just try and survive, which is what we've been doing for the recent past.

And I do video production full-time. And so from a job side, I work with my dad and a company he started in 91. So from a job side, most of our work was corporate events in the spring. So obviously those all got canceled. But it's just been an opportunity to pursue some projects with our family. From the production side, we actually were inspired by you, kind of inspired by you with your, I know y'all had the guy on that shared a bunch of board games. you

tell you yeah, yeah, yeah. And they were just how hard it was to pick up.

So we actually started a channel where our 10-year-old and six-year-old teach four games from a Oh my gosh.

Oh, what is your way, wait, what is your YouTube? Because the games that we have like four games, we cannot figure them out. We're like,

we play them and we're like, we're playing this wrong. We've got to be playing this wrong. And there's a few of them, there's a few of them, there's a few of them, we don't want to read

their instructions. But there's a few of them that we read the instructions, they still don't make sense. And without somebody that's played the game, it's so hard. What's the YouTube channel? Our YouTube, the channel is called KidSplaining. We don't have enough subscribers yet to get a custom URL. So we have the website, kid-shaplaining.com, and that takes you straight there.

Okay. And they're all, they're not kid versions of the game. They're all adult games. they're all games that are our six-year-old and ten-year-old can play with our family sometimes the six-year-old needs to play on a team but they're all that's great explain them in a really simple way that anyone can pick up it's like kids explaining but kid dash kid dash splining.com takes you got it got it got it thank you so much daniel i appreciate it and that you know

what i got to tell you i keep saying to my son and my daughter you guys got to do Mom and dad. You know, maybe we're just too old to understand instructions anymore. And the kids can't even figure it out. Well, I don't know if they've really tried really super hard on some of them. But one of them, the, it doesn't matter. There's one that we're playing that my son was the one that gave the instructions. And he ended up winning like by a billion miles.

And we're like, yeah, I don't believe that this is the way you play the game. It'd be great to have to have that, especially if you. are playing these new board games because we've been trying to and every time we play them, we just love it. But I think there's, I think there's something to be said for games coming back into the family. More in just a second. 888727 BECK, AAA 727, Beck. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's relief factor. And as we age, we all know that things start to break down. And so that's why we shouldn't age. the burst of energy we feel when we're young, uh, starts to give away to aches and pains. And I was talking to my son-in-law, who's in his 30s. And he's like, yeah, don't pick that up, dad, don't pick that up. And I'm like, yeah, I know. And he's like, I just reached over.

I started to pick something. I was, yeah, congratulations. You're starting to get to the age. Wait, it only gets better. Now, there are solutions out there. Some of them are drugs. Some of them are just, you know, I don't know. Better living exercise, whatever.

But sometimes you have pain that you just can't get out of, and that's where relief factor comes in. It's not a drug. But it was developed by doctors, and I take it three times a day. And it has changed my life. It has given me, literally, given me my life back. 70% of the people who try relief factor go on to buy more every single month, and they take it in almost a religious sort of way.

because when I don't take it, I feel it. It stops the inflammation that is the cause of most of our pain. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800, 500, 583.84. That's Relieffactor.com. 800, 583.84, Relieffactor.com. 10-second station ID. I got some sad news this weekend. The guy who I grew up listening to that made me want to be a DJ in the first place,

the guy who I learned more about how to really be effective on radio, his name literally was Charlie Brown. And he died over the weekend. And he was in his 70s. And he had Parkinson's, which I didn't know. He was the happiest guy. I had, I think I knew in. radio or even know of in radio. He was really, really happy and and just seemed born to do it.

And I was, I was glad to hear, I read his story in the, I think it was the Seattle Times. And it said, once he left the studio, Mr. Brown headed for a quieter place, spending time with his family fishing and crabbing near his home and Bainbridge Island and pointing out stars in the night sky. he was a he was an interesting guy and i'll never forget i'll never i'll never i'm no more i couldn't be more grateful to anybody but my savior uh honestly uh he taught me even though he didn't know it he taught me so much of what i what i wanted to be who i wanted to be and and how to be a performer on radio.

He was an exceptional man, truly an exceptional man, and he will be missed. I remember the first time he called me. I was probably 15 years old, and I had sent a tape to him because somebody who was a mentor of mine said, you should send you idolize this guy. Send him a tape. Let him listen to it. And so I sent him a tape, and it was early in the morning, and he called me. And he said, Glenn back.

And it was a school day. And about 7 a.m. 6 a.m. And I said, yes. And he said, Charlie Brown. And I said, shut up. And I hung up the phone on him. And then he called back. Yeah.

And he called back. And he said, don't hang up on me. Is this Glenn back? And I said, is this really Charlie Brown? And he said, yeah, you sent me a tape? And I said, yes, I did. And he said, well, I think it's great. Would you like to come down and talk to me about a job?

And I said, yes, sir, when? And he said, you know, on this day, I said, well, it'd have to be on a Saturday. Because I had school. He didn't understand why. But he said, okay. And I went down. And I went into his office. And he just looked at me.

And he said, hi. And I said, hi. And he said, you are. And I said, Glenn Beck. And he said, oh, is your father coming along? And I said, no, he's actually waiting in the car. And he said, but aren't I going to talk to your dad about? And I said, well, you could.

I didn't understand what he was really saying was. I didn't, I wasn't going to hire a kid. I don't know who you are. I'm looking for the adult Glenn Beck. And he hired me. And I don't know why he hired me because I was awful, but he hired me and taught me so much. I would stay in the overnight after my, shift and I would wait to go to school and I would watch him for an hour.

Every time I could and I could make it to school on time, I would watch him. And I learned so much from him. All right. Our number is 8 at 8-8-727B-E-C-K. It is Monday and we want to hear from you. I also want to talk a little bit about Elon Musk because Elon Musk, man, he is, he's Tony Stark. I don't know if you know this. He is Tony Stark.

He is living the life that all of us, I think, if we were billionaires, we would like to live. More on this coming up. This is the Glenn Beck program. So summer has finally arrived and spring turned out great, huh? I think it was a, it was great. So that's really a little bit away from the actual start of summer and things are starting to warm up.

Hey, don't forget to check out Stu. And Stu does what tonight, Stu? Stu does Texas. Texas. Wow, wait. This is the Glenn Beck program. It's Monday. And we thought we would talk to you today and hear your voice.

What is important to you? What is it that people are missing? How have you adapted to life as we get ready to go back in? Many of us to a normal life. Some of us not for a while. Things that you're going to take with you, things that you thought were good about this, things that you thought were you're happy to get rid of,

It's shocking to me, 40% of people who were at home with a family. 40% of families more likely to homeschool when the pandemic ends. That's a huge number. And a number of my wife definitely not included in. No chance of it. We were homeschooling a homeschooling family, but we've done our tour of duty. and not interested.

No, not interested. No. I think it's a very effective way. I think we've been shown for over a very long period of time that kids who homeschool do better in many, many ways. But man, you got to be built for it, I think. You have to be that right parent. You do.

Let me go to George in Pennsylvania. Hello, George. Yeah, Glenn. It's good to talk to you. Hi. Thank you, sir. You're one in a million. And the reason I'm calling, Glenn, is I wanted to make a comment.

I don't know how, and I'm giving it a great deal with fault. And by the way, I'm 70. I have cancer. I only went my seventh grade. But I'm a thinker of that before. Sometimes, Glenn, sometimes I'll lose my voice, and I hope it doesn't happen. But, look, I give this joke. Biden a lot of fault.

The first thing is, Glenn, I don't know how he made it as far as he did, but he did, and he's in there. And my thought about this is the reason he's in there, he can be manipulated and controlled. He'll set in the Oval Office, that's no question,

if he's elected, obviously. But there'll be another desk in there. and that desk is where the strings are going to be pulled because they're going to control him at every angle and manipulate and they know it. They know he can do it. I think the majority of the people in this country know that he has a sickness to a degree

and I think because of that they look at him as being vulnerable and being able to manipulate and take control and so he's really not going to be pulling the strings like people I think George I thank you for your call and I think you're right I think when you look at Joe Biden we all know that there is something missed there

something wrong and there are those I'm sure that are seeing this is a great opportunity and he is as well I think. He sees this as a great opportunity to reach out to the left and promise them pretty much anything. And the left likes it because what is he going to be pushing back? As long as the left has all of their people around him and it depends on who the vice presidential nominee is as well, but I can guarantee you it's from the left, then you

will have a leftist in office, whether he's only the. they're in name or if he is deemed incompetent or has to has to vacate because he is he's ill or dead um there is there is that likelihood more than any other president than i have ever ever seen in my lifetime you know i want to give let me float this by stew you know i i uh barraq obama has been quiet about everything about everything and recently he's kind of popping up in the news and last week he was very upset about Donald Trump and and what the Justice Department was doing. And I want to pass this by you.

We've said that we don't think Michelle Obama is running. And I just, and I don't think she is at this point. I don't think she has any intention of it at this point. And I have said it would be really hard to pass up if it was, you know, in September and all you had to do is just give a few speeches and you could walk into the Oval Office.

But she's not willing to work for it, and I don't think she would ever want it. However, Barack Obama is possibly facing charges, and his whole thing, his whole administration is going to be smeared over the summer. And they are going to not only smear him, but they're going to undo his entire legacy. Everything that he felt was really his legacy. And I'm not talking about Obamacare. I'm talking about the fundamental transformation of America because he put people in and started operations that could go no matter who was the president. And that's the deep state, which we're now uncovering and taking out.

Not only is it undoing all of the things that he wanted, but it's also coming after him in a way. And I think there is a chance that if Obama is seriously in trouble, Michelle could step in and take that nomination and bring it across the finish line because it would mean, you know, her husband's reputation. It would mean everything that they really believe in and worked for, and it wouldn't be so hard. I think there's a better chance. the more serious this investigation gets and the closer he gets to Obama, the more likely

she is to step in. What do you think of that? It's interesting. It's not a non-zero chance, I would say, that she winds up stepping in. You know, again, you need Biden to be able to do this willingly, but he probably wouldn't, he would do it willingly for Michelle probably more likely than anyone else. I mean, I think the ingredients have to be there for this to happen. where Biden is losing significantly or needs to step down realistically for some health issue

or for whatever reason, I suppose. And Michelle could step in, give a few speeches, you know, maybe have to do a debate or two, but not, you know, she's not barnstorming Iowa, obviously. We're well past that. There's a chance in that situation she does take it, especially if the poll show her winning by a large amount. Yeah. Or if she allows, if she's just selected as the vice president. I mean, if he selected her as the vice presidential nominee.

Yeah, I mean, you're basic, everyone knows you're voting for Michelle Obama. That's whatever. I really do think this is the most consequential vice presidential pick in modern history. Because of that reason, everyone knows this one actually matters because this guy's, or what lady is this one, it's going to be a lady apparently, is going to probably be. president. Yeah, the last time this happened was the fourth term of Franklin Roosevelt. Everyone knew, including his own party, and they switched the vice president at the convention. And they put Harry Truman in because they knew the guy that was vice president could not be the president. They knew President Roosevelt was not going to make it to the end of the term, even though the American people didn't know. This time, I think we all know, it's a pretty good shot. It's a pretty

good shot that he's just not going to be able to mentally be there. Let me go to go ahead. No, I was going to say, and we all know this. This is bipartisan. These are just, these are not, this is not Democrat or Republican. It's just your eyes and your ears. And you see what everyone, everyone else acknowledges it. Everyone says it to themselves. The press doesn't. Yeah. They say themselves. They do. Yeah. I mean, in their quiet moments, they all acknowledge what we all are saying here, which is, yeah, this is not right. There's obviously something wrong. he's clearly not capable of doing this anymore. And the fact that they keep trotting him out there,

hoping to basically run a campaign of an invisible person so that they can win just because a lot of people have a distaste for Donald Trump. I mean, it could theoretically work. It's not out of the question, but it's disingenuous, and they have to have a plan on the backside of it. You know they do.

And of course they do. Maria in New Mexico, Welcome, you're on the Glymbic program. Good morning, Glenn. Nice to talk to you. Good to talk to you, Maria. What's up? Well, I wanted to just talk about what's going on in our state as your next-tore neighbors here in New Mexico and what our governors doing and some of the pushback that were actually seeing that I'm really happy about.

All right. Tell me about it. What's the governor doing? Well, our governor on Saturday started a new mandate. we're officially going into phase one, but now she's mandating that everyone has to wear a mask and that if you're caught out in public without your mask, you're likely to get sighted and get into all sorts of trouble. And for the first time, I think a lot of New Mexicans are starting to say, hey, I don't think that we like this. And it kind of touches what you're talking about at the beginning of the show.

Ask me to do something and I'll comply. Force me to do something. And then we have a problem. And we're actually seeing a lot of our local police departments and sheriffs who are saying no. If we catch people out in public without their masks, we're not citing them. We're not going to enforce this because it's unconstitutional. And I just am really encouraged by that. And I hope that more and more people here in New Mexico will wake up and begin to see

how unconstitutional forcing people to do something like this is. And again, just kind of touches what you were talking about earlier, about, you know, just giving people the choice and making the choice for yourself. What's good for me? Am I healthy? Am I strong enough to handle this? Am I willing to take the risk? And that's what it really comes down to. Yeah.

Maria, thanks so much for your phone call. That is one of the good things that I think is coming out of this lockdown and the coronavirus is we now know that Donald Trump is not the dictator. We know that the press cheers for dictators. and many of the Democratic governors, and two, Republicans that I have seen, are, you know, big government dictatorial in nature. And the problem doesn't have to be just at the federal level. The problem can be at your state or local level.

And I think Americans are waking up to that and appreciating really for the first time at least the idea of the Bill of Rights, whether it's the Bill of Rights itself, whether it's the Bill of Rights itself are not. I don't know, but they're they're kind of at least nosing their way towards something like, hmm, gee, maybe I should have the right to decide that, which is a very big positive. So news came out today that it looks like gold is up again. Gold has had one heck of a rally lately because of the insanity. at the Fed. I mean, the stock market doesn't mean anything. What does that stock market mean? Honestly,

what does it mean? Is it confidence in these companies? No. It's confidence that these companies are connected enough to be able to be picked by the Fed so the Fed can buy into those companies. That's, that's what's happening. If I could shadow what the Fed is doing at the time the Fed is doing it, I probably, I probably would be in the stock market. But I'm, I don't know what the Fed's going to do next. And so there's no metric out there. There's nothing I can measure. At least that's the way I feel.

And the way they are printing money is craziness, craziness. Why did Goldman Sachs? Why did Chase? Why are all these huge financial firms coming out and saying gold is a great investment, maybe up to $3,000 an ounce? That's almost double what it is now. Do you know how crazy the world has to be for gold to be $3,000 an ounce? Why are the big financial?

institutions that are getting bailed out saying, yeah, I invest in gold. You need to do your homework and find out if it's right for you. Gold is right for me, and I put my money where my mouth is, and you can call Gold Line and ask them what I just bought and why I bought it. I buy it for a specific reason. I buy these old 190, I think there were 1903 coins. I don't know if they have any left, but they'll have something. And they're one of the only people that can ship because they still have gold on

hand because there's a rush all around the world gold line 1866 gold line call them right now one eight six six gold line they're waiting for your call these are the people i trust goldline dot com at one eight six six gold line you're listening to glen back so they're having a hard time now in california getting their arms around the fact that now silicon valley is saying that you know 50 percent of the workforce in silicon valley could stay at home 50%. And so what is that going to do to property values? And not property values for homes, but property values for businesses. I mean, these gigantic buildings that are now going to be, what, filled with half of the number of people. And this is happening. They say overall,

the 20% to 40% of the workforce can be remote. So now what does that mean for these companies that have all of these big offices. And what does it mean for homes? You know, does it mean that homes are in really cool places are going to start to be more valuable in places that are in the city and, you know, just in these teeny little neighborhoods because of the commute? Those things are going to go away. I mean, who cares about the commute?

If you're one of the lucky 40% that could work from home, would you live where you're living? Yeah, it's interesting because a lot of people, one of the big pushes for the left over the past many years was to start praising the cities and see how that's actually the way we should be living because number one obviously you find out that people in cities tend to vote Democrat a lot more often but also that you know their environmental concerns and all these other things they say well people just get into the cities then they're not commuting they're not

using as much space and as much resources a much electricity blah blah blah and you know per capita. And it's funny because now, I mean, you've got to believe the suburbs is going to make a nice little, a nice little comeback after this one. If you're, if you're, oh, not only the suburbs, I think there are going to be places like if you are San Francisco and you have a house and, and, you know, you're used to looking at houses, a regular house being, you know, $2 million, you then go to someplace like Texas or Oklahoma or wherever and you find a great place and you're like, wait, $250,000 will will buy this entire complex? It's true. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, Charlie Warsell, who is a reporter at BuzzFeed for tech and is now over at the New York Times, you know, big mainstream guy. A couple of years ago moved to Montana in the middle of Montana somewhere and now is doing his entire job from there. And, you know, there's no real. Stuff is just as good as it was before. Why not? Why not? You don't have to be in the middle of that anymore. And now with pandemic risk and, you know, you never know one another one of these is this coming.

This is going to destroy cities and areas. Yep. People are going to be terrified of that. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. And what does that mean for companies going forward? Good luck if you own any big buildings.
