Hello, podcasters. It's Tuesday. Andrew Cuomo, he's quite possibly the greatest man to ever live. He's come up with a new hand sanitizer. And he's found a way to make it really cheaply. Cheaper than the free market can make it. It's an incredible idea. I don't know why we haven't been doing this. I think Germany tried this out.

Mussolini, Stalin. I don't know. China's doing it now. But this time it's going to be different. And we'll tell you about that. Also, coronavirus, hey, if you're 60, I say 56 or older, you should stay home. Or should you? Proof that the DNC does not care about its supporters.

And in fact, I contend trying to kill all of the presidential candidates in their own party. It's obscene what's happening. all this and so much more on today's podcast. And tonight on Stu Does America, we have an outline of the new Trump policy that I absolutely love. I love this. I love this. He's got to try to push this through. We'll get into the details on that.

You're listening to the best of the blue. I think I might have it, Stu. You know, Nathan, who is our second unit researcher and writer, is he is, he's home today.

Fever. Burning up with fever. Burning up with fever. The tree's burning up or he just has a normal fever. Probably burning up. I was with him all day yesterday. I should go home. What was that?

Oh, my gosh. It was a fake cough is what that was. I just did it again. It seemed like halfway between a cough and a. a hiccup actually. Well, no, because I was gasping. I was, I'm gasping. I coughing and I gas. You're one of the big symptoms, yeah. Right, right. That and the

dyslexia thing with numbers? Oh my gosh. I fully support you here. You should go home. You should stay home. Really? You shouldn't come back. Really? You should move to another place. Seriously? Is that your serious recommendation? Because I'm looking for, I'm just looking for the trigger. I have

just purchased some land in Mongolia. And I am willing to will it to you. That you just head on over there. Suddenly. No cases. No cases. No,

no government to measure the cases, but no cases in Mongolia. How about Syria? Have you ever been to Syria? Okay. Total confirmed worldwide cases, 114,600 and 38. That's up about 14,500 from yesterday. Total confirmed deaths up about 200,4,031. This is really, really good news.

Look at that. We are still at 4,000 deaths when the, what was it, SARS came over here? Not SARS. What was the swine flu? Do you many people here at work here got the frigging swine flu? I was just talking to five different people who got the swine flu at this freaking place. I think they're susceptible to disease. You've been hiring people who are susceptible to disease.

Oh my gosh, I heard that. That one I heard. Oh, my gosh. It's happening. You need to go to Syria. It's, I don't think that's what the CDC... Totally free of the coronavirus. Really?

Yeah, they say, if you can go to a place that has no cases because they're mainly shooting all the people who might get it. You won't get it. You won't get it. You should go there. You can. When it came to swine flu, we had 10,000 people dead in America. The whole world has 4,000 people that have died.

Does it seem like maybe we're panicking a little bit? I mean, I agree with the precautions because of the fear of mutation and the fact that we don't have a vaccine for it yet. But it's still the unknown. That's what we're fighting against, right? It's just we this whole bunch, this, all this fear is just we don't know how this ends up yet. We don't know. Is the mortality rate really four or five percent? No, but we don't know that yet.

Right. It's not confirmed because we don't have all the cases measured yet. it's most likely every expert says it's going to be probably between a half of a percent and one percent, which is still high compared to the flu, but low compared to where we are now. Everyone thinks that's where it's going to end up, but we don't have that locked down yet. And until we have it locked down, people are going to be freaked out about it. Okay, people are going to freak out more and more because the numbers are going to start going through the roof. Don't worry about that.

It's where we're going to be testing more. And you're going to see more and more people get it around you. and unless you are, I think, according to the CDC, 56 years plus, or you have any kind of complex, you know, health issues, then, you know, then you should probably stay at home. Anyway, active cases that are considered serious down from 13% to 12%. 4% require ICU. Listen, please, if you were at a big,

gathering. Do not go to the hospital to have your child or you checked. People in Texas now, what is happening to you, Texas? What is happening to? Too many damn California is here. It was happening to you. People are going now into the hospitals here in Texas say, my kid was at the park last week and there was a whole bunch of kids and I want them tested. You can't get your kids tested if they don't have any symptoms. You can't go in and get tested for symptoms and relax on your kids. This hasn't killed a single person under 18. Not one.

Outside of China, that's true. I think it's under nine in China. But still, it does not seem to be targeting. It's not. I mean, targeting. Targeting. Holy cow. It does not seem to be affecting children.

Sheripa. Did she come up with this? I guess so. Yeah. We now have 33 confirmed cases in the U.S. Four more tracking suspected cases. I think that includes Texas. Yesterday we found out that there was another one that happened in Texas.

This one right by the studios, which I'm telling you right now. Seriously, let me be serious about this. Do you have a trigger where you're like, I got to stay home? I don't, I want to self-isolate. I think fever would be a big one. You know, I've been, I've told you I've been sick for, you know, I think allergy sick, but allergy sick for weeks. You have it.

You met with the people at CPAC. I was at CPAC. You met with several people. Michael Knowles from the Daily Wire. I did an extended interview with him. I did not see Diamond and Silk. However, no. I only saw Silk.

I don't know. Really? No, I didn't see Diamond or Silk. But I did see Michael Knowles who did a podcast with Ted Cruz. Yeah. Who is self-quarantined right now. Yeah. Because he interacted with the guy they know has.

I think Sarah Colk, who's our booker here on this show. She met with Diamond and Silk last week. Hmm. knows where she is today. Not here. Here. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

That's because she was terrifying everybody in the office. She has the sniffles. And so everyone's running away from her like she's like, she has leprosy. My allergies are so bad. It's leprosy. That is where, we are not the only ones in this position. I mean, this is happening all over the country. Yeah.

We unfortunately stoned her to death yesterday before somebody could step in and say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, it was just allergies. She has seasonal allergies, guys. Yeah. So, you know, hey. You lose. from time to time. Exactly. We were just taking the Syria approach.

So we're just, by the way, if you're a booker on another show, you want to work here, we have a sudden opening. Rocks not included. All right. So the CDC officially recommends now that those over 60 stay at home. Is this true? Well, I'm saying it on me. You were reading a story from the New York Post, which is a newspaper.

Yes, Dr. Nancy Messinger, a senior CD fee official. What is she said? What is she said? Quote, having us household items and groceries, so you'll be prepared to stay home for a period of time. Okay. Now, does that say stay home for anyone over 60? I don't think they're actually saying this. So listen, this is the...

Give me the exact quote, because everything else I have here is not a quote. Every news outlet is saying if you're 60 or older, you need to stay home. And they're all reporting it that way. This is what their actual warning says at the... CDC website. 56? You should stay home if you're 56.

No. It says you should stock up on supplies. That means prepare in case you need to stay home. Got it. Got it. Got it.

Got it. Take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others. Social distancing. When you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick, limit close contact and wash your hands often. Avoid crowds as much as possible.

Here comes. Avoid poorly ventilated space, which this place feels like I'm just closed in. It's 15,000 square feet and 40 foot ceiling. It is. Okay. Avoid cruise travel and non-essential air travel. Okay.

Five-story roof on this thing. And that is where the ceiling is on this. I feel it's claustrophobic. The walls are closing in. He just turned off his mic. I don't know if you could hear that. He turned off his mic. He was coughing.

I'm sorry. You have it. No, I just had some popcorn. So if you were, and these are all just for people who are at higher risk. Yeah. So that is the 60-year-old. I'm at higher risk too.

Or really. 80 or older. And then it says, during a COVID-19 outbreak in your community, comma, stay home as much as possible. There's four of them in San Antonio.

You know what? They actually, they actually do define outbreak, which is, an outbreak is when a large number of people suddenly get sick.

Right. China. Hello. But that's not in your community. I am a member of the global community. Seriously, though, Glenn. I am bound and determined to stay home. Every place is saying this 60-year-old.

This says during a COVID-19 outbreak in your community. This is amazing. It still doesn't say stay home. It says stay home as much as possible to further reduce your risk of being exposed. Am I wrong on this? I've seen this everywhere. And I have not seen a quote from a CDC person saying, if you're 60, stay home no matter what.

They're saying if there's an outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible. That's something totally different. Okay, let me give you this. Because I don't know if you knew this. Patients are confirmed to be shedding the virus via blood, mucus, spittle, and fecal matter. Now, I don't know about you guys, but I think we should stop sharing the fecal matter. The fecal matter.

Really? Should we stop playing with a fecal matter of other people? I don't know. it doesn't specifically say that. I mean, what is spread by fecal matter. Okay, I think that's just a worse way of saying wash your hands. Is that what that is? I would assume.

I would assume so. So could we stop using it? Because nobody's playing with poop except for monkeys. Now, maybe babies. Maybe a baby is really sick. Maybe it is the babies. Notice it hasn't killed any babies. Maybe it is the babies.

that developed this as a bio weapon because I have opened the diaper of some of my children when they were younger, and that stuff is biological warfare. That is, you don't even recognize it. It is not what you put into that child that's coming out. Could be another sequel to boss, baby. Because if you know this, they wear suits, they talk like Alec Baldwin. They're planning all sorts of schemes. If somebody was going to do this, it would be Alec Baldwin.

It's a fair point. And I believe that's in the CDC analysis as well. also in the New York Post? Yeah, it's in the New York Post story only. Oh, you got to talk to Justin because Justin's a guy who writes this and he's really good. And it wasn't until you said that that I'm looking through all of the highlights and I'm like, there's nothing in quotes here. Well, this is an adjusted issue. This is a media issue.

I know, but we got to be better than the media. Maybe there's another quote I'm not seeing in these articles. It's possible. But I've read a bunch of them looking for this particular detail because, you know, I have relatives who are over 60 and I'm trying to to understand what the right right right justin and tell him i want him in my office and i'm going to cough on him today okay he'll never forget that he'll never he never would forget that he would never forget that okay also governor quomo uh is now saying that the state of new york is making their own hand sanitizer uh he said the product is 75% alcohol compared to the name brand competitor

perl which is made of 70% alcohol so it's great he says that it's also has a very nice floral bouquet and he said stop the price gouging or we're going to make it ourself because we can make it cheaper and I just want to point out yes slave labor prison labor camps can make products cheaper governor Cuomo how very China of you unbelievable I'm losing my mind on this freaking CDC thing I can't even listen to what you're saying listen to what I'm saying you never do CNN this is how CNN reports this Amid a coronavirus outbreak in the United States, they're covering the general situation going on.

The U.S. Sensorative for Disease Control and Prevention is encouraging older people and people with severe chronic medical conditions to, quote, stay at home as much as possible. How else would you take that, right? Like, if you're older, you should stay at home as much as possible, right? Yeah, that's not quarantine. Now, what they leave out of that is during a COVID outbreak in your community, comma, stay home as much as much. as possible. Well, yeah, if you have an outbreak in your community, the rules are different. That's what they're saying.

Right. So you're saying, let me just say that is right. You're saying, you're saying like, if you go to the moon, you should wear a space suit. Right. Is different than just saying you should wear a space suit. Yes. You know, you and your journalistic rules just sicken me. Oh, that's not real.

More in just a second, including a new study out that is going to boggle your mind. There's no credibility with the press whatsoever. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. We're going to get into some politics here in just a few minutes. We have the latest on the economy and a great idea, a great idea from President Trump, which is why the market is opening up at 923 points. We go to Pat Gray now.

I've got some more good news for you too. Do you? Yeah, law enforcement has a great tool that none of us have ever heard about, but they're using it. Oh, really? It's capturing people like crazy. Oh, great. Yeah.

It wasn't as fun as you might think for a guy named Zachary McCoy, who was just riding his bike, which he does all the time. And then he got kind of caught up. up. He was one of the dolphins snapped up in this tuna net. Oh, my goodness. Well, hey, if we have to, if a guilty guy has to go to jail once in a while, you're going to have to kill a few dolphins to get some good tuna. Right. If you're going to have to have that innocent person in the electric chair once in a while.

Yes. That's what our justice system is based on. I think it is. If you have to give a few completely innocent people and they have to pay the ultimate price, that's okay. As long as we occasionally catch a kid. else is safe. It's okay. It's okay.

It's either that's what our system is based on or the exact opposite. I can't remember anymore. I think it's, I'm pretty sure it's, what we want to do is trade our freedom for security. That's the best. That's it. That way you'll have both.

I think that's what. And you'll lose neither. Right. That's what he said. Well, you'll be dead. And you won't care. Yeah.

And you just won't care about freedom. That's why I love it when people say, I don't care if they're looking at me. looking at my information, I ain't doing nothing wrong. Yeah, well, you just don't know what you're doing wrong. Like Zachary. Zachary's just out riding his bike and as he always does. And then he got this notification from Google's legal investigation support team.

They were writing to let him know that local police had demanded information related to his Google account. Company said it would release the data unless he went to court and tried to block it. You got seven days. Oh, that's plenty. That's a lot of time. He's got a bike already. He's just keep riding until he gets to Google. It's right.

So what's the problem? Wait, wait, wait. I don't think I need more than seven. I need more than seven days to understand what they just said to me. That was his problem. What? He didn't understand what was going on, but he knew he was in trouble somehow. And a hundred percent chance that email goes to your spam folder.

Like you're not, you're not, you're not, you're not catching that at least for four or five of those days. That's for sure. That's for sure. So he was freaked out. He's like, I know I didn't do anything. wrong, but why is Google doing this? And so he went to his parents' house because he didn't know what to do.

And they... Can I say, how old is Zachary? 30. Okay. 30. What you do? Whenever you have some sort of... I was a 12-year-old. You're talking about I was riding his bike around. I know. So that's why I asked. Because, you know,

when you're 30, and you have something go wrong with any kind of tech, any tech question. You go directly to your parents. You go directly. Or grandparents might be a good way to go to. Yeah, that's exactly what you do.

Well, they took a bunch of money out of their savings account and got him a lawyer. And that saved his butt because his lawyer figured out that Google had done a geo fence warrant. It's a police surveillance tool that casts a virtual dragnet over crime scenes sweeping up Google location data from all devices from all users in the area of GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Celtics. connections from everyone in the area. So like a crime happens at 8.25 p.m. on the Maple Avenue. They take everyone from 815 to 840. Yes. Everyone that was even in the area having no idea whether it had anything to do with

a crime or not. And I am trying to understand what problem is here. So this guys, get this. So he's riding around on his bike because he's an avid biker. And his watch. Apple Watch sends the information. I don't know if it's Apple, but they were sending the information to Google about where he was. Right.

And so he happened to drive by this house that had been burglarized. And he did it three times. Sounds like vicious killer to me. And yes. And that's what they thought. So he was the main suspect for the local authorities. And his lawyer, he had to spend tens of thousands of dollars to extract himself from this. Do you know?

And that is, that's another thing. you, he has to prove himself innocent. They use that phrase like five times in the article. His lawyer said we had to prove his innocence to Google and to the law enforcement. This is insane. It is completely turned American justice upside down. And here's the good thing. There's a good.

There's more good. Yeah. The geofence warrants have increased by 1,500 percent from 2017 to 2018 and then by another 500 percent from 2018 to 2019. Thank you. I have a confession. I have a confession. I went out and I bought I home.

I went out and I bought an I home. Oh, you did? Yeah, just for not, I'm not connecting it to anything except the internet. I'm not connecting it to my security or anything. And I only have one room in the house. But you were connected to the internet on it. But I was connected onto the internet on it. Yeah.

And I am, because I've never had Siri. I don't carry a phone. I don't want any of that in my life. I have an iPad. Is the I Home? Is that like an Alexa type of device? Yeah, it's Siri. It's okay.

Hey, see. Watch this. Hey, Siri. Play Rachmaninoff's third piano concerto. All over America. They're like, what the hell is happening? What's that amazing? So,

uh, uh, Siri, hey Siri, disregard what they just told you to do. I'm fascinated by this person that you just depicted. I go, who is this guy? He's just shocked that he's heard of conchered. He's a wrong. What the hell is he?

He don't sound like it. He's paid to him in this house. Siri right now in that house, like, dude, I got you covered. I knew that wasn't you. But and I was just thinking today, I would like to have it because it is so They're convenient. Convenient.

It is so easy. And I was thinking, you know what? That's how they've gotten us. It is. That's how they've taken us. And they're taking away our freedom with it. I've got them everywhere. They're in the process of taking her freedom.

We have, they're all over the house. We have the ones with the screens on them. Really? Oh, we have them everywhere. I have a hundred of those things. I'm at the point now where I can't say it. the word because three or four who go off at once.

Yeah, they all talk to me at the same time. I can't get the right one to talk back to me. What do you say? How do you use Alexa? Matt. So you just say, Alexa. That's torture the audience. I don't know why you're trying to, but yes, Alexa.

Alexa. Define pornography. That's fine. That'll be good. Everybody's like, what, don't know. My kids are having breakfast. What are you doing? Just saying.

Like they really, definition. You know it. you see it. Right. Am I right? Yes. Am I right or am I right? You're right. People don't.

So are you going to disconnect it? Is that what you're saying? No. That's the problem. I mean, if they have you, that's the problem. Think of this. Glenn is like the ultimate.

Yeah. Get off Google. Cat catastrophist. Don't use Google. It's the only search engine that works. Don't use it. But I bet you use it. Oh, of course they do.

Of course. Yeah. Of course I do. It's just good. It's just good. It's better. We're not willing to give up our convenience. Right.

Nope. And it's not good. It's not good. I'll be the guy in the prison looking at you going, kids, don't do what I did. Yeah, absolutely. Listen, don't do it. Yeah. Because this is frightening.

They have, and when, and this is why, what's his name, Zuckerberg, is begging for regulation. He wants regulation. what company wants regulation? Think of your own company right now, this thing. If I could get the federal government to give more regulation with more paperwork and more of their noses in stuff,

why we just take the world by storm. Why would you want that? You want that because now you're a partner with the government and you use them to block all of your competitors because they come to you and say, well, what should we do for regulation? Well, I'll tell you what you need to do. Yeah.

It's unbelievable how far we've come so fast. I remember back in the 2000s in Houston, people would call and say they're not even getting the toll tags because they don't want to be monitored or watched or listened to or have the government have that information on them. And now we invite all that stuff right into our homes and don't even give it a second thought. And it listens to everything we're doing. Well, they're saying now, and the thing of this, people in China,

The reports are from, I mean, can you trust them? All these reporters committed suicide or, you know, all of a sudden disappeared. But they're all saying that the people in China now are freaked out because the coronavirus things that they put in, all the monitoring, not going away. It's not going away. Shocking. Wow. You mean the government took extra power and is not giving it back after the emergency? It's not giving it back.

Oh, did they get an enabling act passed to make sure? Not a problem. Pretty sure there's some history to those. And I'm telling you, this is what's going to happen here in America. We are the one thing you have to understand about the coronavirus. And this is this, once you understand this, the two things. A, we're all going to get it. We've all had the pandemic flu of 1918.

This is going to be with us now, probably for the rest of our life. And we're going to have to just take vaccines for it when we produce one. So we're all going to get it. And most of us are not going to die. The vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast vast majority are not going to die. Yeah. And even if you're elderly, you're not going to die. It's if you have extra complications or you are of a weak system, then you're going to have a problem with it. So that's the first thing. The second thing you need to know is we are 50 days behind China. China is just getting back to work this week. So China is recovering. But we're 50 days away. So. We are now at where they were 50 days ago. We should look up the date, Stu, and see where they were.

Because they were still in acceleration and freak out mode. Okay. It will come down and we're 50 days away. So what you're going to see in the next few weeks is this rapid acceleration. See, nobody's taking this seriously. China took it pretty darn seriously. They were welding people in their houses. I mean, I don't know if you can take it any more seriously than they did.

And they still had this rapid growth of it. I will say they were making doctors sign, the people who were discovering it, sign confessions that they were just trying to scare the public. Not 50 days away. Not 50 days in, but they did not take it very seriously at the very beginning. Yeah. That's why they had as many, you know, that's why they had, what was it? In the end, 75 million people quarantine or some ridiculous. number like that, you know, I hope we're not going to get to that.

Italy now just closed the second half, the whole country now is closed. It's incredible. Israel, I got this great story in Israel. I can give you this. Israel just said, geez. How much would you love to go to Israel right now when they're quarantining everybody who comes into the country? Yeah.

You go in 14 days. 14 days you have to sit there and do nothing. I mean, it's basically no visitors. Yeah, basically. No visitors. Yeah. So I love this story from Israel because it includes this line here. The Israeli health minister dismissed reports in the Israeli media that portrayed the declaration as a concession to the United States, making the quarantine universal so as not to appear to single out a staunch ally of Israel.

So what they were saying is, I think, I don't know if I completely understand this, but what I read from this is that the Israeli people, papers were saying you got a you got that America said you got to close down everything so you know you look like you're taking it seriously and you're not just we're not going to pick out you know an ally like you and use you as an example blah blah blah in a negative way is that what they're saying I think so okay I think so um the allegation was fake news according to the health minister one day before announcing the policy Netanyahu spoke by phone with vice President Pence, who is leading the Trump administration's on coronavirus effort. On Monday, the vice president's office did not respond to a request to comment about the

Israeli policy. So they're saying that they're going hardcore because they spoke to Pence and Pence forced them to go hardcore. The press, this is the briar patch the press is in right now. Wait a minute. Is Trump taking it too seriously, not seriously enough? Which one is it? Is he telling people to listen to Mike Pence or listen to his stupid,

tweets. They cannot make up their mind on how to deal with Donald Trump on this. And it's just agonizing and despicable. But the good news is, hey, maybe everybody will listen to the press and maybe they'll vote for Bernie Sanders because, hey, all free health care, all of it. The best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed. It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts. All right, we've got to get to politics today.

In fact, we have the Joe Biden, because it looks like Joe Biden is going to be the nominee after today. So we'll get to Joe Biden here in just a second. First, let me just tell you that Donald Trump, now, he wouldn't want this to happen. I mean, nobody wants this to happen. But I'm telling you, I love this idea so much that if Donald Trump, we're in the the room and they said he's just contracted coronavirus and he's fine but if anyone gets within six feet of him they could die i love this so much i might have to french kiss him because i just love i love this idea yesterday when he was talking about the economy he said there's lots of things

we can do i want to talk to congress one of which is getting rid of the payroll tax put that on a holiday for a while. Yes, please, Mr. President. Yes. Please. This is something that Ronald Reagan talked about, but didn't do. He said, if you really want to upturn the progressive income tax, you get rid of the payroll tax. And all of a sudden, people will go, wait a minute, how much am I making in my paycheck now? How much are they taking? And he said, force them to pay it, every month. They can't just take it out of the check. No withholdings. You have to pay it. He said there would be a revolution. Mr. Trump, please, President Trump, please. I would campaign or not campaign. Whatever it takes, you need to do this. This, when you get your

paycheck and you have no payroll taxes in it, America's view on what a fair tax is is, is going to completely change. Everybody right now, this is the progressives, they always hide things. Everybody now is like, oh, I can't wait. I'm so excited.

I get money back from my taxes. No, that means you overpaid. They give you this little gift at the end to go, see, we're a good government. We're giving all this money back. Because you don't notice every two weeks, how much they're raping you. So he said one of the tools that we have

to get the economy really going, and making sure it's in the hands of little people, not just the big banks, is to suspend the payroll withholding for a while. Please do that. Please, six months. Just do six months. Six months.

No one will ever allow it to go back. No one will ever go back to that. I don't know if you're right on that. That'll be interesting because I think, I don't think they're going to allow him to do it. I mean, I think the Democrats will block it, but go for it, man.

Go for it. Because this is the, to me, the most evil tax that exists in our system. And it was designed by FDR specifically so that Social Security could, they could never go after it. He wanted to, he wanted to cement a giant program that goes to everyone, a forced government savings program theoretically, which of course we all know it's not an actual forced government savings program. It's just another welfare program. Yep. And you keep saying, people say, well, wait a minute. I put contributions in there.

That's why he called them contributions. He didn't call it a tax. He called it contributions behind the closer. Listen to this quote. This is what he told his advisor. We put those payroll contributions there so as to give the contributors a legal, moral, and political right to collect their pensions and their unemployment benefits. With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social security

program. Those taxes aren't a matter of economics. They're straight politics, end quote. That it was exactly what he did. And to me, the worst part about it is, and I don't know why Democrats don't get on board with this, they should. It's a regressive tax. Someone who makes $30,000 a year pays a higher percentage of their income than someone

who makes a million dollars a year. That is not the, it's not even the, it's not even a progressive tax. It's the reverse of that. But remember, that is because it was just to cover Social Security. And everybody gets the same payment. Right. And so why should the way? wealthy man pay more.

Oh, because now he's got to carry everybody. Yeah. And that's the thing I think that a lot of us miss at times, which is the welfare program where evil rich people pay for poor people to have things is a bloated government system. There's millions of problems with it. Far worse than that is the universal program that everyone is involved in no matter what. you're forced to contribute to your own retirement. And then if you're Bill Gates,

you can still get benefits from this program. And of course, obviously, it gives out to everybody more than they put in. On average, it's more than double what you're putting in. So, of course, the system doesn't make any sense anyway. And then it's locked in as this massively popular program because everyone thinks that they're a big part of the system. they're contributing to it.

It's not what it is. It's just another welfare program, except everyone gets it even if you're rich. Everyone who is going. Everyone who is going to a Trump rally. Everyone who has one of them Twitter machines. Get on it now. Tweet the president.

Please, Mr. President, the greatest idea you've ever had, 100% support on suspending the payroll tax because of the coronavirus. You will never get it back. never and we'll have a real conversation about progressives and their taxes. Please, Mr. President, it's, it'll, it'll just, it'll help the little guy. It will.

Legitimately, it's much better than cutting the rates of the income tax. It helps people. They all have to pay it from dollar one. I love it. People who are making $15,000 a year, $20,000 a year. Get them off of that tax. It's completely unfair. You know what?

As Rahm Emanuel once. said, Oh, boy. Never let a crisis go to waste. Yes. And here you are. This is, he's the only president that would actually do this on the Republican side.

That he would take a crisis like this and say, oh. Because it will help people. It will legitimately help. But it will also. It will be the biggest move against progressives since FDR. I mean, you want to go in the history books. This is it.

And kill it for all time. Kill it. this awful tax. Kill it. Kill it. Don't even, don't just give it a rest. Don't put it in prison. Kill it. Okay. Let's go to a Bernie Sanders update. Bernie Sanders, of course, this doesn't seem like very uplifting. Yeah. Bernie Sanders, comrades, an update for you on how he's faring in the great state of Michigan. You know, and when he was in with Michigan with Hillary Clinton, it showed him doing really, really well. He won that state.

Now he's not winning that state. Is that because, you know, you could afford a protest vote? You didn't want Hillary Clinton, but you just thought she was going to win. Now that you think, well, Bernie Sanders could be the guy. Everybody's like, no, no, not him. No, he was a protest. He was a vote against Hillary to send a message. we don't really want him.

What's happening in Michigan and what's expected to happen today? Well, Michigan, coming into today, by the way, Biden leads by about 80 delegates, which isn't an insurmountable margin. However, the calendar looks really good for Joe Biden. The big Bernie's last stand today. Politically, not necessarily in any other way.

That's true. Check it off those jades, exing off, peeling off the pages of that calendar. There goes another one. The polling has been fantastic. for Biden since really Nevada. It started there. It went into South Carolina. He completely dominated Super Tuesday in a way that nobody

foresaw. I mean, even Biden's campaign couldn't have possibly imagined they did as well as they wound up doing on Super Tuesday. And so in Michigan, which was supposed to be a really strong Bernie state, he won it against Hillary last time. He has now projected to lose pretty badly there. And if that does happen, I think this is over. Because I think this is Bernie's firewall.

This is his South Carolina. He's supposed to be able to do well in places where labor unions have always dominated, where, you know, socialism has always kind of been a thing. Up north, it's been good. He's, he doesn't perform well in the South. Up north, he's supposed to perform well. Yeah, this is supposed to be one of his big states. Correct.

And he's now projected to lose at 5941 as the prediction at 538. They're saying, though, what should remind you. as they say a 99% chance that Joe Biden wins. Now you might say, well, wait a minute, I remember Hillary Clinton had a 99% chance. Well, first of all, she never did from 538. I believe they had him at Trump at a 30% chance, something like that, a 30% chance to win. And he wound up obviously winning. But a 99% chance, pretty rare that something like that would happen.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Let me just give you an update on this. It looks like there's more problems for Joe Biden. And the FBI just rated a health care business connected to the vice president's younger brother and former business partners. And their legal complaints saying that these business partners and vice president Biden's brother was transferring illegally funds. The report was filed January 30th FBI raid of health care business. business and it's going to be a problem for the vice president. The FBI raided a health care business linked to Joe Biden's brother in late January,

seizing boxes of documents. The raid of an AmeriCorps Health Hospital represented a deepening of the legal morass surrounding James Biden's recent venture into health care investing at a time when the questions about his business dealings of Joe Biden's relatives and their alleged connection to the former vice president's public service continue to dog his campaign. In the week since the raid, two small medical firms that did business with James Biden, if claimed in civil court proceedings, to have obtained evidence that he may have fraudulently transferred funds from AmeriCorps outside of the ordinary course of business.

Oh, really? And it looks like James Biden had half a million dollars transferred to him from the firm as a personal loan that has not yet been repaid. This vice president is such a dog. This is just, this is a dog of a candidate. And people are so busy avoiding Bernie Sanders now. They just don't, they just don't want him to win. And they will take anything or anybody at this point.
