The Glenn Beck Program - Biden Needs Some Hidin’ – STOP Speaking! | 5/22/20

Episode Date: May 22, 2020

Filling in for Glenn, Pat and Stu break down latest in absolute craziness. The Democrats’ 2020 strategy of hiding Joe Biden from the public could actually work. Ami Horowitz found that many Democrat voters proudly believe all women … except for Tara Reade. Stu is especially frustrated with the Left’s fawning praise of NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He runs through Cuomo’s coronavirus timeline just to prove how bad he actually is. Joe Biden does it again! In an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Biden tells him “you ain’t black” if he even considers voting for Trump. HOW is Biden going to survive this one? And it looks like Lori Loughlin and her husband will spend some time in jail for the university scandal they were involved in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

All right, supposedly Joe Biden, who, you know, may be about to check out mentally, or maybe already has in part. Check out mentally. I don't know. He's ready to do it, but it's happening. It's having. Yes. Who is checking out. And I think that's pretty clear because every single video you see from the guy,

there are about, I don't know, a hundred different things you can talk about. Like this, the thing where the geese were honking in the background. Yeah. He was, the things he was saying about President Tweedy, the way he was saying them,

the guy who came into the background and was doing the, I don't know who that guy was. There were so many things in that video. What about the idea? that the way to win over a lady is to compliment their heft. To compliment their heft. That's how I always have done it.

Like, whenever I've been at a bar, you know, there's an attractive lady, a couple of stools down. I say, ma'am, impressive heft. And she's like, wow. How do I make it to your hotel room? How can we make it quick? Because now that you've complimented my heft,

I am totally powerless against your, Has he actually complimented people's heft? Yeah, Tammy Baldwin, who they're talking about as a potential VP candidate. He was trying to be complimentary to her, and he said she had an impressive heft and lift. And I don't think either of those things you should say about a woman. I missed the heft and lift compliment. Oh, gosh. I know we had it on Stu Does America.

We may have it in our archives and we could look for it. I mean, he can't. He can't speak. No, he can't. This is a huge problem for a presidential candidate, Pat. This is not a minor side issue. This is like a central issue. Listen to this.

But Tammy is an incredibly competent United States senator with a great deal of heft and lifter. Heft and lift. Heft and lift. Here it is. With a great deal of heft and lift. I don't. It just took, first of all, here's the definition of heft. Mm-hmm.

Lift or carry. Okay, so she can carry a lot of stuff at the same time? I guess, I mean, kind of what she's saying there. Or is that like an endurance heft? Yeah. Where you can carry a bunch of little things, but a lot of them. She's got thick thighs is, I think, what he was. She really does a good job at lifting with her legs rather than her back.

And technically, if you really want to go off the definition, it's as if he says she has a strong lift and lift. Yeah. Just the same words. But what does that mean in this context? What do you mean lift? He just, and that's just a stupid side one. These things happen all the time.

He can't. It's obvious, guys. And this is the thing. It's not just us, Pat. This is bipartisan. Everybody can see it. The Democrats can see it too. He obviously can't do this anymore.

Right. It's sad. I don't like it. I don't, you know, It's not fun to watch, but it's really not. It's not fun to watch. But you have to point it out because the guy could be president of the United States. So it's really important to pay attention to this.

And it's fascinating to me that there are any people who still think they would vote for this guy. And apparently he's still up in the polls. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty clear right now he is leading. Now, look, there's a people will say, oh, well, the polls, who cares about the polls, they got it wrong in 2016. Taking a step back from that. Actually, the popular vote, they got right.

They got right. I mean, it's one of the, they missed the popular vote by, I think, 1.6 points of where it came out. And that was the average of the polls. It was very close. Remember, and this is a fundamentally important thing to know, these national polls are not trying to predict the electoral college. That is not what they're attempting to do.

They're attempting to predict the popular vote. And you might say, well, I don't care about the popular vote. that's fine, but it is something when you're going to dismiss the polls, you have to realize that they actually did fairly well in 2016 nationally. A few states were off and that's important, right? I mean, it was enough

to switch the president, the election around, but it is a very close thing. Here, the lead is not close. I mean, they have Biden up by six and eight and nine points in a lot of these polls. But the caution here is

twofold, I think. one, you have to understand and recognize the possibility that this strategy of hiding your presidential candidate could work. It is currently working. This idea that Joe Biden is sitting there and never being seen except when he compliments someone's thighs is a strategy which I think is a wise strategy from Democrats. If I had Joe Biden as my candidate, I would hide the hell out of that guy. I might see if I could build an invisibility cloak. I might. I might see if I could build an invisibility cloak. I would invent it and I would have him wear it at all times. I want nobody to know he's our nominee.

That would be my strategy. Everything you can to think, what you want to put, I think, in the mind of the voters is the idea that he's just this unnamed Democrat. He's not even a Democrat. He's the unnamed other guy. He's the non-Trump candidate. And you know what? He's probably better.

Who knows? You don't know. Because you don't even think about who he is. Don't think about who he is. Whatever you do, don't think about who he is or what he's saying or how he's blot, you know, bumbling over a sentence. Just think about he's not the guy you're currently upset with. And that might be enough. The separation point, though, here is that when Donald Trump starts focusing on Joe Biden, he won't be able to hide anymore.

Donald Trump has a way of controlling the media that nobody, I would say nobody in. history has ever been able to do. Any president at any time. He can control what they say. They will be on a whole other story and it'll be like, let me tweet this, just retweet. Changes the entire news cycle for the day. You know, hey, I'm taking a pill.

Hydroxychloroquine. They change the entire scope of what they're going to cover for the entire day because this guy's taking a medication that tens of thousands of people take. hundreds of thousands of people take and they just cannot stop themselves. So at some point, when we get past hopefully this COVID thing and we're in recovery and the economy and it's time for Donald Trump to be making speeches

and doing rallies again and talking about Joe Biden, they're not going to be able to hide him anymore. And once that happens, this is going to get a lot closer and Donald Trump is going to be able to make this election not based on this guy right now who it is. Right now, it's nobody. Right? It's just this mythical other candidate who everyone, I think, naturally,

takes their idea of who would be a good president and just puts it on him. If you have any friendliness to voting for a Democrat, you are thinking yourself, well, he's probably better than this guy. I don't like Donald Trump for whatever reason. And you're filling in, he's the alternative. and that's it. When you see him perform, you're going to have to make a decision based on him, too. And that's when this campaign has a good chance of falling apart for Biden, I think. Is that how you say it, Matt? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And the other thing is, Democrats don't care. They don't even care if Biden is competent.

He's just not Trump, and that's fine with them. Like this journalist from the nation, She's a cathopalate who said that she would vote for Biden even if he boiled babies and ate them. Oh, that's an exact quote. If he boiled babies and ate them, unquote. So that's the mindset. That's how much they hate Donald Trump. That's how much they don't care really who their nominee is. If it's not Trump, they're with him.

Well, if they pick Joe Biden as their nominee, it's obvious they don't care. who they're not going to be. Exactly. Hey, well, do you pick a guy who can speak? Or who cares? Or you're just not paying attention. And that's possible, too, that they don't pay any attention. Because how many people knew some of the weird things that Barack Obama said, some of the incredible mistakes he made, some of the, you know, the 57 states comment. Yeah.

Or you just need an inhalator or a breathalyzer or not a breathalyzer, an inhalator. You don't need either one of those. Yeah. But he had his moments. certainly where he screwed things up in speeches, but, you know, he came off at least as a competent socialist. Yes. Biden isn't even, he's not even that.

He has, he's playing to the far left to try to win over these Bernie people and the AOC types. So he's, he's not even running as a moderate. That's not even happening. People have it in their head. He's a moderate. Why? Why?

Because he's to the right of Bernie Sanders? Well, isn't everyone in America to me? the right of Bernie Sanders? I'd like to think so. I'd like to think so. You know, he was one of the most liberal senators when he ran for president in 2008. You know, I think the difference, people get confused because Joe Biden has these positions that sound a bit conservative as compared to today's Democratic Party in his past. That doesn't make him conservative.

That just makes him old. He's just been around for a long time. when the liberal position was something else 20 years ago, he held that. Well, now they've moved the goalpost so far to the left that his 20 years ago stances seem conservative in retrospect. But they weren't at the time. He just, he was, he's always been a leftist.

He's always been a guy. He's a system guy as opposed to Bernie Sanders. But other than that, there's very, there's not that much difference. Yeah, I mean, they have slightly different. policies, but this guy is a hardcore leftist. Yeah, we mentioned this before. He and Obama were the two most liberal senators in the Senate

in 2008. Yeah. It's not Joe Manchin we're talking about. Right. Not by any stretch of the imagination. He's it's frustrating because people, you know, because the perception is, as you said, the opposite of that.

And that's how Overton windowed we are. So I don't know if there was any way around that. AAA 727 B-E-C-K. More. Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glymbeck program coming up.

So do you think there's going to be a Democrat convention, like an actual, not a virtual, but because a lot of Democrats are saying there can't be a virtual convention. It's got to be an actual convention.

You think there will be one? I would think so. I would think they would find a way to get everybody together. I mean, they have to figure out a way to put Michelle on the ballot. So it's kind of. They're trying. They would love that, obviously. Well, yeah.

I mean, she would be really formidable. She's got such a high approval rating that I think he wins if she's on the ticket. You know, who knows how she reacts in that moment, though? I mean, who knows how she reacts as the focus of the pressure that Donald Trump brings? But still, she would come in. I mean, she certainly would open the race as the favorite. I mean, there's no question about it. Oh, yeah.

Now, when she starts talking, who knows? but I mean, you know, the media is going to give her the most overwhelmingly positive treatment you've ever seen in your life. Well, when she started talking at 2008, they quickly sent her back home. Please stop talking. Right. That's true. However, you know, she's not a dumb woman. Not at all. No, she's just more radical than even Barack Obama. I think that's true, but also has had 12 years to go through a presidency and go through a,

her words if she needs to. Yeah. I mean, they didn't have those incidents in 2012, largely. And she's gone through book tours and all of these other things since. I'm not saying she ever had a tough question in her entire life, but she is, she as a candidate would be formidable. I don't think that that's going to happen. It's interesting, though. She doesn't seem to want to. She doesn't seem to want to. The question I would say is like, let's say it's October 1st. And Joe Biden is down by nine points. And it looks terrible. He's in, he's got. the scandal's popping up, this Ukraine stuff, there's more tapes that are leaked out. All this, it's just at the point where the American people are like, absolutely not. Is there a question there where you say, you know what, Joe, your quote unquote health problems that we didn't realize until this very moment are considerable. Maybe it's time you step down. And if it was that late and they were to offer, let's say, Michelle, the nomination, I mean, she doesn't want to barnstorm around Iowa for 15 months.

No. But does she want to for four weeks or five weeks do major speeches where all the media will do is fawn over her and then she's handed the presidency? That might be tempting for anybody. You know? And maybe even Michelle is like, I can leave Martha's Vineyard for five weeks. I can do it. Yeah. Or maybe four.

I'll take a vacation week in the middle. Yeah. And maybe that happens. But even under those circumstances, it's probably more likely that it would be Hillary. I don't think. I do not think that. I actually, I, I, I, I. think she's the least likely candidate in America to get that nomination.

I think you have a better chance of winning the Democratic nomination than Hillary Clinton does. They hate her. They hate her as much. They think she can win, though. I don't think they do. I think they do believe she can win. You might be right on that. But my case would be they look at, like we look at, I'm trying to think of a,

they looked at Al Gore, right? Al Gore went and he lost to George W. Bush. Right. And what they saw out of Al Gore is this fighter who, believed in something that was virtuous and who had the election stolen from him, right? That's what they saw. With Hillary Clinton, they see someone who lost to the worst presidential candidate in American history. Again, this is what they're saying.

It's not what I'm saying. And they see this, they see her as just like, you blew that race? Yeah. Screw off. Every time she comes out and talks, the left, you know, runs her over the calls. Now, if she was a nominee, obviously that would change. but you know I think it would be much more likely to pull out you know some random senator you know give it to Amy Klobuchar or Tammy Baldwin or some some random person than then to hand it to Hillary Clinton for a second go at it I just don't think they have any interest in that and I think that's smart by the way or you might resurrect Bernie at that point yeah I don't think they like Bernie really either they don't like him Bernie though at least we have an argument he came in second right if you're going to pick anyone from that field you have to pick the guy who came in second Yeah.

I think. So if you're not going to do that, then I think you have to pick from outside of that pool. It's interesting. You look at the, the Predictit.org is a site where you can go and you can put real money on political outcomes, right? It's a gambling site essentially. Now, wait, it's investment. Investment.

How do I, why would you say the word gambling is associated with a site? I apologize. This is nothing like a gambling site. It's a prediction engine, okay. Oh, okay. That involves real investment. Wow. That's how.

it's very impressive. They would technically word it. And it is legal, by the way, in the United States. They have a clearance from the government to do this. You know, for research purposes, really like, what do people, when they put their real money down, actually believe? Because, you know, you could tell a pollster, whatever you want. What do you actually believe? Well, right now, Joe Biden is at 85% chance to win the Democratic nomination. Not to win the election, but just to actually get the nomination for the party that has no other candidate.

It's currently running. And they're still saying, yeah, there's a 15% chance. This guy does not last. That is not something that would be promising. That is in the back of their mind, though. Oh, yeah. Somebody else swoops in that they are really married to because I don't know how married they are to Joe Biden. No, and they're not married to it.

No, if he looks like he's going to lose, they completely control this, right? If the media and the left decided, you know what? We're back to believing all women. and they just started giving terror read all the credibility of the media, he's dead, he's gone, he's toast. The campaign is over for him. They control him completely in this situation. By the way, speaking of that,

did you see the Ami Horowitz interview on the street? No. Where this is fantastic, we should play this. And maybe we'll do that coming up here, where he goes on the street and asks all these Democrats, do women, should they be believed? Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Then he asks,

Uh-oh. Do you believe Terrarid? Oh, no. You've got to see it to believe it. Coming up in just a few minutes. You've heard me talk to Mike Lindell and about Mike Lindell. He is the inventor of my pillow and how, you know, his pillow is giving me great night's sleep. I love his sheets.

He's my personal struggle. And it's a holy struggle. It's a holy struggle. Yeah. I have a holy. It's a secular. It's a secular holy struggle. Because as we know, it's mostly secular.

The Muslim Brotherhood, at least, is mostly secular. But yeah, and I just, I can't understand this fascination with this guy who has been an utter disaster like overseeing the worst parts of the coronavirus pandemic in the entire world. Yeah.

Not even just the United States. Right. And yet they love him in New York. They love him. I know. Well, that's fading. It is fading. I mean, he was up 80%. It's about time because, I mean, how do you do such a bad job?

In fact, he was sending COVID patients to nursing homes. I believe it to be the worst single decision in the entire pandemic. And he got away with it. Now he's actually trying to blame Trump for it. Of course. Of course he is.

Because where else is he going to go? Wow. He instituted a policy which guaranteed the import of COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes where he himself admitted were the people that were the most vulnerable. Exactly. And then he also said, it didn't make any sense at all. Imagine you're running one of these places, right? And you're like, wait, you're going to do what?

We don't even have the facilities to deal with a pandemic. We're a nursing home. We can help, you know, basic medical needs. Obviously, we know nursing homes have those, some capabilities, but they're not designed to deal with a pandemic. That's exactly what they're not designed to do. And then they all said this, by the way, at the time. Yeah, they didn't want that.

We do not want this to happen. Then you think, okay, well, if you are, if you have someone in your nursing home, they have COVID-19, you have to, them back in. At least you cannot, though, import new patients that aren't your patients in that are COVID-19 positive, right? So you can test them as they come in and make sure if they're positive. No, he actually prevented the nursing homes from testing the patients. So they couldn't, they couldn't even know if they were COVID-19 positive. That is, it's madness. I don't even understand it. I don't even understand why you would do it. Let me ask you this. If I were coming to you

say, Pat, you know what, we got a real problem with old people. There's too many of them. Let's kill them all off. Give me a policy that will do it. Would you design a different policy? No, that would be the best way to do it. Exactly what you do. Yeah. Everyone's like, oh, this guy, you know, this is viral video out there where this guy is punching these people, a nurse is punching these defenseless old people in a nursing home. It's disgusting.

A guy got arrested. They did find them. So disturbing. It's revolting. But compare that to what Andrew Cuomo did. Yeah, it's worse. You know, there's thousands of dead people because Andrew Cuomo and several other Democratic governors, by the way, instituted this policy or a version of it. And it costs thousands of people their lives in what is seemingly the most obvious outcome that could be imagined from a policy where you take people who are vulnerable to a pandemic and import intentionally patients inside of a nursing home.

Like, of course, this is what is. is going to happen. Of course. Yeah. It's incomprehensible that they would do this. And finally, after a month and a half, he withdrew the policy, but the damage had been done already. Oh, yeah. Oh, by far. So we've got some interesting video to show you concerning Andrew Cuomo coming up. His brother, too. Just an absolute nightmare. You know, and their fight over their mom and who has loved more. I don't care.

Yeah. Who your mom loved more. I don't care about that. I do feel like the tides are starting to turn on that. Like people are sick of the Cuomo brother schick. They're starting to realize it. You know, I think there's a little bit of a rally behind the guy that goes on in a moment like that where you're like, you know what? He's the only thing we have.

We better. I hope he's doing a good job. You're almost convincing yourself he's doing a good job. But now that the... It's almost like a wartime president. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You just believe in hope.

Yeah. But we're getting to a point now where people are actually looking at what he's done. And, you know, I can't imagine this holds up. But, you know, look, this is, this is, there's so much partisanship and so much tribalism around this stuff. I mean, look at the stuff with Biden. You were mentioning before with, with Tara Reid. Do we believe all women or not? Right.

I mean, what about the hashtag, believe women? There was, that was a hashtag that was circulating during the Me Too. stuff believe women well amy horowitz put that to the test and here's what happened i'm amy horowitz and i'm back of the east village believe all women has been the mantra of the left since the kavana hearings but do they really believe that how important is it to believe women i think it's very important it's very it's totally you believe men why don't you believe women same thing what's this yes Of course. We should believe women. It's fucking important.

Duh. Yeah. And it will always be important. I'm someone who was sexually assaulted. And yeah, it happened in high school. And I was told not to do anything about it because the guy was the star soccer player in high school. Nobody would believe me.

Absolutely important. No one believed me. I did 35 years in jail for killing my abuser. So I have very strong feelings. Tara Reid, she's the one who was accused. using Joe Biden of sexual assault. Do you believe her? I think she's an employee of Trump.

I think she's despicable. Do you guys believe Terry? No. No. No. Do you believe her allegations? No, no, really. I don't believe her.

The timing is also very bizarre, so. But Ter Reid, it just doesn't seem as credible. I personally don't know why she's coming out now. She should have spoken up earlier and we need Biden. 27 years ago? I remember 27 years ago. Joe Biden, to be fair, maiden. He doesn't remember what we had for breakfast today?

for breakfast today? I actually have the best memory. You know, going back to the Brett Kavanaugh, I thought they were, she was very credible. Can you explain to us, to the audience, kind of the difference between Tara Reid's allegations and the allegations of Christine Blaise Ford, of the cab. Hello? Yeah. Oh my gosh.

You know, I don't know, but I recall since my memory is so to specifically say. I actually have the best memory. Biden's not going around saying, oh, I love beer and like, I love beer. and like, I mean, I don't know if you talk. I don't know talk, but that was just... He's not going on saying, I love beer. What's that? It's crazy.

Hashtag, believe all women. Thank you. Hey, have a good one. Bye. Believe all women. All right. Peace guys. Believe all women.

Take care of something. God, that's so good. All except her a read. Yeah. Didn't we make that clear in the first place with the Believe All Women thing? It was all except her. Except to anybody who says something about a, guy we want to vote for. I mean, Ami Horowitz has, he does such a good job. Oh, that was great.

Because there's something convincing about him where it doesn't feel to these people on the street that he's coming off as like, I'm making a point about your hypocrisy. Like, he's somehow able to keep them in this mode where they think they're talking to someone friendly. And it is a, I mean, it is a disaster. Yeah. It's so, it really is pathetic. I mean, it's shown that, entire movement to be a sham a sham at least as it relates to democrats and their you know their their their kavanaugh stuff it's so obviously just partisan nonsense they don't care they never cared for a second about christine blasey ford never cared about her not or what may or may not have happened to her they didn't care for a second and the fact i mean it was proven because as soon as

Kavanaugh gets on the Supreme Court. Have they mentioned her once? Nope. Don't even remember that she's... Not that I've heard. Have they filed charges against Brett Kavanaugh? I missed it if they did. Because they could. And I mean, for them to say, oh, that was 27 years ago. Why now? Blasey Ford was 37 years ago. Yeah. And to think about... So... Think about the differences here, Pat. We have absolute proof that Tara Reid

worked in the office with Joe Biden. Yes. Let's just start there. We have no evidence, as far as I can remember, that Christine Blasey Ford even ever met. Brett Kavanaugh, let alone was at the party in question, which we don't know what the night is in question because she couldn't remember. We don't know what that night is. We don't know what the house is. We don't know the date. We don't know any of it.

We do know that people do remember Tara Reid disappearing oddly in the middle of her job for no reason. We do know that she said that her mother called in to. Larry King. Larry King, which it did happen. She did. She did. We do know that she told multiple people

over the years that this did occur. And they backed up that story. And they backed up that story. Now, look, that does not mean Joe Biden did this, right? People, like, But it led credence to the story, for sure.

It certainly does, right? It's, you know, we have a justice system for a reason. And, you know, look, if you, if everyone, if we decided we wanted to take out some important person, we could all easily align our stories and say, okay, say this, you say this, you say this. Three or four people absolutely could do that.

I'm not saying that's what happened here. I don't know. But it could happen. The Larry King thing is a lot more difficult to do. Yeah. Really difficult. Yeah. Because, you know, there's a national show just getting on that show.

I'm sure at the time was probably difficult for her to get on and be able to say that and then have it be recognized as the person that they go find the tape. So. And you're doing that in 1993, what, setting up your 2020 allegation? Right. Well, I mean, exactly. I don't think that that's true. Though I would say she never mentioned rape, right? She did mention a problem. Yeah. So we don't know what the level of that accusation was. And I would say, too, it's possible that you get fired. You create a fiction. You tell people to justify what happened. And it turns into a long-term story. Is it possible? Yes. It's possible in the way that, All sorts of crazy things are possible. People win the lottery multiple times. So it's possible.

Sure, it's possible that these things go on, but it's very unlikely. It's possible monkeys may fly out my butt. Exactly. It's just not likely. It's not likely. I don't know how many monkeys you've tried to store. So far, none. None.

Yeah. It's probably the best number to try to store there. Yeah. But, you know, there are crazy things that happen, right? There are crazy things. Like a guy, a guy sat home in the 1980s, and he started watching Pressier Luck, the game show. And he had a VHS recorder.

And he methodically recorded where the boxes bounce around the outside border until he figured out that one specific block never turned into a whammy that would cost him all of his money. So he sat there and studied the patterns and recognized that it repeated, then went to California, got on the show,

Press your luck, and was able to win like 10 times as much as any other candidate or any other contestant because he knew all of the patterns. He had memorized how the game board worked. That happened in real life. Then that guy left with all of his money and wound up losing all of it

and various scams and other things. That's a real story. It's a story that, actually occurred and he went on the run at the end of his life before he died. All of that actually happened and was going to be, it was scheduled at one point to be a Bill Murray movie and what a fantastic movie that would have been. They never made it. Why didn't they do it?

I don't know. I don't know what happened. Eventually this is going to be a movie, but it's a great story. And it's a real, real guy who did this. But like, you know, crazy stories happen. But like all of these things adding up would at least indicate that it goes well beyond the standard of proof that Democrats have wanted for any Republican in a similar situation. You know, anytime, and we remember the James Comey situation where the whole point was contemporaneous

notes. He took a contemporaneous note and that was proof that X, Y, and Z happened. All he did, the guy, one guy just wrote down, yeah, this happened. And that was enough for everybody on the left. Yeah. These are contemporaneous notes. She told all these people at the time that this went on and it's not believe all women anymore. That's dead. It's gone. We never meant it. And when you ask them, well, wait a minute. What about believe all women? And you have someone who's maybe a little bit more thoughtful than the people that Ami ran into. What they will say is, no, what you mean, believe all women all the time no matter what. What we said is we need to listen to women. And then, you know, obviously, we have the due process that goes on. And you're just

describing what we've been saying the whole time. And we still continue to say it today. That's the difference between a lot of people on the left and the media and a lot of people on the right. I have not heard one person change their standard on the right on this. Everyone's saying, look, you can't convict him over this stuff. You might want to because you want him to lose the presidency, but that's not the way we operate in this country. AAA 727 BECK. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

AAA 727 BECK the number to call and it's is a the unemployment situation that we heard about yesterday with another 2.4 million Americans out of work just

it's heart wrenching and perhaps the scariest part about it is people are seeing that number like oh it's a lot better than last week and it is a little better than last week but it's still like the eighth worst in our history and three times worse any yeah 2.4 million we've never had those kinds of numbers the worst ever was I think 800,000 before this isish. Wow. Yeah. And so three times as bad as anything pre-COVID.

And we're like, oh, great. It's getting better. Yay! We're on the right track, guys. All right, we've got to share with you some amazing stuff with Andrew Cuomo. They're governor of New York coming up. This is the Glenn. You've heard me talk about my Tukovas 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, Tocovas has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Tocovus 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, 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.

Tocovus.com slash Beck. And what do you say? Let's all be cowboys. Featuring Pat and Stu for Glenn. AAA 727-V-E-C-K to get involved in the show. On, on Stu Does America, you've been talking about Andrew Cuomo lately and the great job that he's been doing because he has done some kind of job.

I mean, what is it? Only a third of all deaths come from New York from this COVID virus, right? Isn't it like a third of all deaths almost? And the worst of the, basically the entire world's COVID outbreak was in New York. And you have to, and that kind of downplays it a little bit because all of New Jersey and Connecticut's

breakouts, of course, are also related of New York. And when you look at the genetic makeup of the virus around the country, about 80% of the outbreaks around the country are from New York. So, but other than that, the results are there, Pat.

The results are there. Other than that, Andrew Cuomo's done an unbelievable job. He has. You know, sure. If you compare it to anyone else in the entire, world, no. Because I mean, you would absolutely

if given, if there was a draft pick, who do you want to run your, your COVID-19 response? And the choices were Andrew Cuomo, the guy who was dealing he was from, he's from Northern Italy out of the University of Northern Italy, the Lombardi region.

You got him, or you can just get some random guy selling bats in Wuhan. I think I go Wuhan. Yes. At this point. Yes. I certainly am going, I hope I don't have the third pick and I'm stuck with Cuomo. I'll tell you that. So Cuomo, we were going through this and we decided to build a series out of this.

Just going through the timeline of Andrew Cuomo. Think about this. This is March. Start in March. I won't even, I won't give him any heat for stuff in January and February. You know, people didn't necessarily know it was going on. But towards the end of February, it started really ramping up and all over the world. March starts at this point, you got to know, especially in New York major travel hub, this is a big deal.

So March 1st is the first case announced in New York. Okay. March 2nd, here is Andrew Cuomo. In this situation, the facts defeat fear because the reality is reassured. Oh. It is deep breath time. Oh. Just take a deep breath, Pat.

Okay. That's all you need to do. Yeah. Sounds like we're going to be fine, right? Yeah. Well, we are. If you thought that he. wasn't taking this health challenge seriously.

I can see how you might take that from that particular statement. But you have to look at his website, which is where he puts the real meat of his policy. And he made a major statement that carried it on the website on March 3rd. And he did take serious action against this health crisis and this epidemic. And of course, by this epidemic, I mean the vaping epidemic. Oh. what he wrote on his site, the nicotine,

nicotine vaping epidemic is a scourge on our state and our nation. That was March 3rd? March 3rd. So everyone else is like, hey, COVID-19, it's kind of scary, but what about vaping?

Now, I will say, everyone is going to look back and think about March 2020 as the month of the vaping epidemic. That's clearly what the history books are going to say. And he was right on top of that. Now, while people were kind of

passing this virus all over the city, Cuomo launched a petition against vaping and quoting the website. The campaign also includes a new hashtag, no vape, N.Y. Now, if we have only thought to fight the virus with a hashtag, that could have worked out pretty well. You know?

Yeah, but you didn't think of that. Hashtag no corona, NY. Hashtag down with COVID. Yeah. Hashtag, Cuomo sucks. Don't get it. Don't get it. Yeah.

That would have done it. That could have done it. Right there. Yep. But unfortunately, he didn't think of that. March 6 we're up to now. We're 44 cases in New York. Andrew Cuomo still could not believe that you were worried about it. We have more people in this country dying from the flu than we have dying from coronavirus.

Now, that's one of those things that gets you kicked out of the media these days. Yeah. If you were conservative and said that, a lot of people were really, you poor Dr. Drew. Got dragged through the mud by the left for that exact statement. But here's Andrew Cuomo doing it. So don't worry about it. Just the flu. Continue to sneeze on each other.

Everything's fine. March 8th. New York hits triple digits. 105 known cases. We all know it's a lot higher than that in reality. Cuomo continues to tell everyone not to change their lives around all that much. If you can move to a train car that is not as dense, if you see a packed train car, let it go by.

wait for the next train. Same with the, if you're taking a bus. Now, don't avoid public transit. No, no. But just take a less crowded one. Take a less crowded one, a less dense one.

Now, I would argue you should probably try to find a governor that's less dense. However, I understand, I guess, his point here, and at least he's making a little progress. Cuomo made sure to emphasize that the most important thing that New Yorkers could do was basically layback and chillax.

Keep it all in perspective. I know there's a whole frenzy about it. The facts do not justify the frenzy, period. The biggest problem we have in this situation is fear, not the virus. No. The virus we can handle. It's the fear. And the fear is just unwarranted.

That's good to hear that Andrew Cuomo can handle the virus. And you were so worried, Pat, that entire time. I can remember. freaking out. Now, if the governor of South Dakota makes that statement, it's probably fine. If the governor of Wyoming makes that statement, it's probably fine. Although if those people made it, since the Republicans, they would get trashed to the media constantly.

But Andrew Cuomo is presented as this hero in this situation. The very next day, Cuomo continued to berate the idiocy of people who thought this might be a big problem. Context, all these numbers, what does it mean, what does it mean, what doesn't mean, all day long, people calling me up and saying, I hear all these numbers, what does it mean? It means you find the positives, you reduce the spread.

What is the bottom line? What does this mean? People are reacting like this is the Ebola virus. This is not the Ebola virus. This hysteria that you see, this fear that you see, the panic that you see, is unwarranted. We have dealt with worse viruses.

Oh, many times. This spreads like the flu. But most people will have it and they get on with their lives. Huh. Well, there you go. Just that easy. Now, I will say, you may have noticed a tad bit, an undercurrent of criticism here for me on Andrew Cuomo. And in interest of fairness, this actually turns out to be his best moment of the entire response.

Why? He actually got something right. it's very rare for Andrew Cuomo in this period. He is correct. COVID-19 is not the Ebola virus. In fact, COVID-19 would go on to kill more people in just New York, in just the first three weeks of April, than Ebola has in all of human history. So he is correct. It is not Ebola.

Gold star for that little answer from Andy. We have more. Should we take a quick break on one minute break and come back? on the other side because we're only on March 9th. This is all happened before March 9th. It's amazing. Amazing. Back in a second.

Very impressive. Yeah. Very impressive. We're up to March 9th, also the day that Cuomo attempted a media stunt aimed at the, generally at the vilification of capitalism, but specifically Amazon, for their supposed price gouging over hand sanitizer. This is 75% alcohol. It also has a, comes in a variety of sizes.

It has a very nice floral, blue. Bucke. Ugh. A little I detected. Lilac. Hydrangea, tulips. What does it smell like to you? That clip gives me chills for some reason.

I don't know what it is. Him talking about the floral bouquet. It's made me like hate hydrangeas for the rest of my life. And notice, the man in the middle of the pandemic response literally reaches his handout so the guy next to him can smell it. That is. The press conference was basically Cuomo bragging that he can beat the market price with hand sanitizer using prison labor, which is really easy to beat all market prices when you're using essentially slave labor prices for all of your employees, which of course later we found out that he wasn't even doing that. He was just bottling the hand sanitizer with the prison labor, not actually making it.

So he was lying as well. but that's like the 3,000th most annoying thing about that clip. The fact that he's getting people to smell his lilac hands is, it grosses me out even watching it. March 11th. Now there's 216 cases in New York known of coronavirus. And Andrew Cuomo is doing shtick at his press conferences attempting, I would argue, a worse Irish accent than even Barack Obama.

Listen. Well, I'm authorized, you know, by St. Patrick. That's who? Oh, yes. I have the highest authorization. Sure. Wow. What is that accent?

Wow. I don't know what that is. It makes me dislike Ireland. The entire country, it makes Irish people dislike Ireland, which is a really, I mean, you're pretty Irish, Pat. Pretty Irish. Do you now hate Ireland? I do. I do.

So then he has an interview scheduled. And of course, by itself, that's not really all that notable. Andrew Cuomo loves seeing Andrew Cuomo. on television. More than anyone else in the entire world. He gets that exposure all the time. So there is one place, though, he couldn't go to get interviewed. One place.

CNN with his brother, Chris Cuomo. Why? Because CNN had banned Chris Cuomo from interviewing Andrew Cuomo, which is an obvious thing for a journalistic organization to do. Because you can't have your host as a journalist. interviewing his brother on television. So in 2013, they institute this ban. It lasts for seven years.

And then in the middle of a pandemic, they're like, I guess now is the time for the softest of softball interviews. That, of course, leads to CNN lifting the ban and it unleashed journalism like this. Governor Andrew Cuomo, everybody else. My big brother, I'm proud of you. I love you.

Thank you for explaining the hard parts and what's going to happen so that we can get to a better point. place in the future. God bless. I'll talk to you in a second. Proud of you. Wow. So they're both proud of each other. They're both proud of each other. They're both proud of each other. They both love each other. It's good to know. And that of course is escalated to, I think it was yesterday the day before his fiasco, where now he's doing

like carrot top props and bringing out like, you know, nasal swabs of Chris Cuomo to joke with his brother about his size of his nose. Let's take one more one minute break. And we'll finish up just the first two weeks of March next. So you have cabin fever yet? Well, me and my boy, we're out grilling on our Rectec grill. It's time to get out and smell the Rectekek, man. It just smells so great. Most of us are social creatures and the prospect of spending week after week

hold up in our houses is a little upsetting to say the least. And that's why we have this little ray of sunshine sitting on our back porch. In this dismal situation, it's still spring outside. The weather is warming up. the birds are singing in the trees and your deck still counts as part of your house. Now maybe more than ever it's vital that you get some outside time, some fresh air, and nothing complements that fresh air better than the smell of meat cooking on a Rectec grill. Rectec, the number one name in grilling.

They are built like tanks, durable, solid, and they are at the front line of smart grilling technology. Do your own research. People in the know choose Rectec. Go ahead. Look. Then go to Rectagrills.com. you're going to see the huge difference. That's R-E-C-E-C-Grills with an S.com.

All right, March 12th now, Andrew Cuomo's timeline of coronavirus. 325 known cases in New York, and governor always on camera is talking to New York 1. And what I believe he thinks is the worst moment of the entire pandemic. He is forced to do an interview and not be seen. He has to do it on the phone. So this is an incredible disappointment for Andrew Cuomo. Listen to the point.

points he makes here, though. They're irritating. All four of his key points. Look, we have two issues we're dealing with. One is the virus, which we can handle. The second is the anxiety and fear

that is being generated because of the virus. Okay. And that has many sources, how the federal government is handling it. You have all these people spreading rumors. But that's just what they are.

They are rumors. New York City is not going to close down. Oh, wow. That's a relief. That's a relief. Those rumors being out there. I mean, it is a masterclass on how to botch a public response to a crisis. First, he says he can handle the situation that he blatantly can't handle.

I mean, we can all recognize that he has not handled the situation. Then he tells people to relax. Okay. then he abandons his responsibility and puts the blame on the federal government. You know, he just throws that in. Like, yeah, there's some things to worry about, like the federal government's response, but we can handle this. And then he says the other people to blame are the people spreading rumors,

rumors that New York might close down, something that, of course, obviously did happen and is still happening. We're in May now. It's still going on. And while Cuomo, of course, was very aware of every talking point to do. deflect blame away from himself, his awareness of the real world is just mystifying. Listen, especially think of yourself if you're in,

you're in Wyoming, you're in, you know, Nebraska, you're in Texas. Listen to this exchange with Craig Melvin from March 13th. Governor, really quickly here, how would you characterize where things stand right now in New York State with regards to response to the virus in general? I don't think it's any different here than it is anywhere else. The anxiety and the fear is as much of a problem as the virus. Can you think about, this guy had no awareness that New York was any different than anywhere else.

And this is a time where the media is in the mode that Andrew Cuomo may very well be God. That is the tone of their coverage throughout all of this. he didn't recognize that New York was different. How did he not recognize that? Everyone on earth knew that was true. He blew every piece of this response. And he continually went on television and radio and lied about it. And, you know, really, the only reason this country shut down at all is because of what happened in New York.

The fact that he couldn't recognize it was different is disgraceful. And I will say, I started, I went through some of the stuff on Stu Does America last night, which of course you can subscribe to on YouTube. We can see all the clips. See every one of those. And a lot more. But we started going through it. And my idea was to go through the entire timeline for Cuomo.

And then I was like, well, now maybe I can only do March. By the end of it, I realized I could only do the first two weeks of March. So I had to break March into two pieces. There's so much to pick apart from this guy. And the fact that he's got this halo over his head after what he has done is despicable. By what the media has done here. Almost nobody has the virus in New York, though. There's only 366,000 people with the virus.

That's it? Yeah. I mean, okay, so yes, that's, uh, it's, let's see, six, seven times higher than Texas, which has one third higher population than New York. We have about 30 million people. They've got about 20 million people. We have 53,508 coronavirus victims. They have 300,000.

66,357. And of course, that's just known. Right. That's known, yes. And we're doing much more testing right now than they are. Yeah. And they've done the antibody tests there and found in Manhattan about 20% of the entire population at least had it at one point. Which is amazing.

Which is by far the highest in the country. Again, because New York was different. I don't know if he knows. He didn't know it then. No, he didn't. But somehow, maybe over this time, he's been able to figure out that New York might be a little different than a field in Iowa. Maybe. And to have 28,885 deaths, which is about a third of all the deaths in the United States of America.

And then New Jersey is second at 10,000. So they're 18,000 behind. And the only reason they have 10,800 is because the New Yorkers are going to New Jersey to go home. Yep. It's unbelievable. It's amazing. Well, then you look at the terrible job he's done. Terrible.

Here is the death rate per million. population. So you don't, you're not adjusting for a population here. Number one, New York. Yep. Number two, New Jersey. Okay. Number three, Connecticut. Why? Because that's suburban New York. Number four, Massachusetts. And of course, as we've seen with the actual, you know, genetic makeup of this virus, there's several strains. And the New York strain has been the one that's infected about 80% of the country. I mean, just, you can't, unbelievable. You can't overstate the, you, the terrible job he's done. It's very difficult to do.

I'll try, though. I'll do my best. Okay, see if you can. If I can find a way to overstate it, I will. But I haven't been able to find the way yet. I don't think you can do it. I don't think you can do it. Triple Eight, 727 B, E, CK. It's the Glenn Beck program.

Back program, AAA 727BECK. We've been talking about this COVID thing.

And Andrew Cuomo's handling in New York has just been astonishingly bad. And yet for a while, I don't think he's there now, but he had an 80% approval rating at one point during all this press conference stuff. Just because he talks about it every day, people loved him for it. Do you guys understand you got the worst problem in the world? In the world. In the world, not just America, the world. and this guy is the head of it.

Wow. How does he become popular over that? Yeah, New York. New York City. You were saying the death rate per million is theirs is by far the highest, right? By far the highest. They've got a, let's see,

there's is 1,484 per million. New Jersey's 1,221, Connecticut, 105. And those are all basically New York. I mean, you know, it's a New York area. Yes. If you've never lived up there, it's not like Texas where you drive for hours and you're still in the same state.

Like, people, Pat, commuted every day from New York to Connecticut. Yeah. Or for Connecticut to New York, excuse me. I did it from, not even New Jersey. I went through New Jersey from Pennsylvania. I mean, you can go multiple states on a normal commute. This is, so they're by far the highest. When you look at all the cities around the world that have been affected the most by COVID-19,

New York City has the highest excess death rate. So if you look at, forget how you're, you know, naming. If you think, you know, because some people don't like the way that they've branded certain, you know, deaths and all of that. You just look at overall mortality or like pretty much in a city, the same amount of people die every year at the same time. It's right around the same amount every year. You look at the line every single year right around the same amount with occasional spikes. Like, for example, a spike for 9-11, right? You have 3,000 people die in a day. So you have a spike there. this spike is much, much bigger than 9-11, first of all. But it is larger than any other city in the world that was affected like this.

It is 398% above their normal death rate during this COVID period. 398%. Wow. The only one that is higher than that percentage-wise is Bergamo province in Italy, which was 496%. However, a much smaller overall number of people in excess of the norm. so the results are not there. I mean, we went through the whole list in the break

when it comes to the death rate. I mean, Texas is like 43rd, 44th. In death rate. And death rate. Florida is like 35, something like that. What are the states you've been hearing about? Georgia, Florida and Texas. And Georgia is a little bit higher, but not much.

It's incredible the attention that has been poured over people like Ron DeSantis in Florida, who by all, all appearances has done a good job. It's worked out pretty well. He's been more lenient than other states in some ways, in some ways. But he still has been able to oversee a situation that has not run out of control like it did in New York. And did in many states run largely by Democratic governors, oddly enough.

I don't think you can, I don't think necessarily the virus is a Republican. But I'm sure that would be the next accusation. and you know it's interesting because I really do have this the Cuomo thing really bothers me because of the idea that he has a 70 and 80% approval rating when he has mismanaged tons of this and I do think over the long period that will come out that's kind of been my jihad

which by the way means struggle holy struggle thank you for pointing that out but my I would say even conservatives for a while we're like you know he is doing a pretty good job What are you talking about? No, he's not. No, he's not.

Luckily, we've taken this stance constantly. Yeah. It's interesting to see who kind of, I would say Fauci's another big one. Like, Fauci's a one that a lot, it's not necessarily mine, but a lot of people on the kind of talk radio side of things are hypercritical of Fauci,

and he certainly has not been perfect. You're kind of on this bandwagon. I'm kind of critical of him. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not a fan. I mean, I don't hate the guy. Yeah. And I don't think President Trump should fire him because that would bring down a firestorm like you can't believe.

And just an unnecessary. Yeah. Just don't. He doesn't need that in addition to everything else. So just leave Fauci in place and just don't let him, you know, talk at the news conferences anymore, which is kind of what he's been doing. But Fauci has also sort of backed off all the other appearances. I mean, he was literally appearing on hundreds of programs. Yeah.

And now all of a sudden he's kind of gone. from all of those. Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, I think you point out something, I think, important, which is, you know, Fauci has no power. Right. Right. Like, Fauci's power is only there because Trump has allowed him to be the spokesperson. He can tell, and he may have told him stop going on all these shows.

I think there was a time where Fauci was so, and he still is very popular. His approval rating is very high. It's in the 80s. But that's nationwide. That's not, you know, with his base. his base, I think, has very much soured on him because they want a faster opening, which is understandable. I think, though, there is this thing where Trump really got a lot of positive attention

because of Fauci. And Fauci, I will say, one thing he's been very smart about is, generally speaking, and not in every circumstance, but generally speaking, has been very deferential to Trump and that he'll go on these shows and it'll get cornered by a media member that will say, you know, you brought up this thing where we were going to take these drastic steps and you brought it to Trump. What did he say? He just probably said he wanted, you know, oil companies to kill people, right? And every time Foucher's like, actually the second I brought. He does not play along with that. He doesn't. I will give him credit for that. He doesn't usually do that. And that's probably why he's still there, right?

Yes. But he's been smart enough to say, you know what? No, actually the second I brought, the first time I told the president about this, he considered the options and decided to go forward with the drastic action to save people's lives. One possible exception was when he said this. If social distancing, physical distancing, stay-at-home measures had started third week of February instead of mid-March? I mean, obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives. Obviously, no one is going to deny that. But you're right.

I mean, obviously, if we had right from the very beginning shut everything down, It may have been a little bit different, but there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then. Yeah, and some of it was from Fauci himself. Here's what he said in not the third week of February, but the fourth. No, right now at this moment, there is no need to change anything you're doing on a day-by-day basis. Ah, that's fascinating. Yeah. And there was, right?

So some contradictory stuff from him, which kind of irritates me. Although I think you could take his comment. First of all, he used the word obvious about 10 times. Yeah. And it is obvious. right? Like if what we know, if we knew what we knew now. If we want to shut the country down in October. Right. Exactly. We wouldn't have had any deaths.

And if we, there's a huge pile up on the highway. If we would have just closed the highway down, there wouldn't have been once. Right. Like we all know of course in retrospect, that was not a legitimate possibility at the time. And, you know, in a way, the person he's criticizing most is Anthony Fauci. Right. The person who should have known that the appropriate response was to shut everything down more than anybody in the world was him. Without ever stating that though. And that would...

I think that would ingratiate him a little bit more to me if he would have admitted that. If he would have said, look, even I was saying that in the beginning. Even I was saying, America doesn't have to worry about this right now. America isn't going to be affected by this like the rest of the world. Right. Even I said that at the beginning. That would be really refreshing and helpful.

He should say that more. I think you're right. Yeah. And it's been interesting kind of watch that develop that relationship because it is a... It has been, I think, overall, when it comes to the reaction to the country, a positive for Trump, that this guy who everyone can't help but admit is the nation's preeminent expert in infectious disease control, continually comes out and says, actually Trump listened every single time we talked about this. That's not necessarily ingratiating him to his base, though, who doesn't want him to listen to Anthony Fauci?

So that's been a, I think that's been a tough thing. And I think you're right. It would be a big PR disaster for him if he were to fire him at this point. Now, Trump is not a guy who runs away from PR disaster, so he may wind up doing it. He doesn't care most of the time. It is possible. You will do it. It is.

I will be interested to see if that happens. I think he likes it does shield him from a lot of the media criticism, though, because like if he says, look, I did exactly what, you know, what we were told. Yeah. You know, I think that that is a, it's a pretty good, good defense for Trump when it comes down to the media coming after him. And that's what's going to happen in this election. They're going to question every little piece of this. And if he's got Anthony Fauci there to say, actually he did exactly what I said, you know, it's going to be hard to criticize him when in the media. And think about this from Fauci.

One more thing, because I definitely recognize that like, you know, the audience in general is not a fan of Anthony Fauci. But think about, let me compare him to another guy from our very recent history. James Comey. James Comey also had at one time a very high approval rating and could, and he did leave, run to the media, write his book, constantly criticized the president openly, say how he basically overturned all democratic norms. And he was so worshipped by the media that he just ran into their loving arms. Fauci could do the same thing here. He could. He could walk away with an 80% approval rating.

And, you know, look, Republicans would start to sour on him, obviously, when he did, just like they did with Comey. Because at one point, Comey was very popular among Republicans, too. But he could go and get this adoration from the media at any time. And he may wind up doing it at some point. But so far, both him and Burks have sat back and said, the president has acted in an intelligent way. He'll even say, look, I'm only making recommendations on the medical. The president has a much tougher job.

He has to deal with the economy and people and all these different things. I'm just making recommendations on one little part of it. He needs to look at the whole picture. And I think that's the way their relationship should work, whether it does or not, who knows. But the point is that, like, he could go to MSNBC and be on every single show, every single day saying how evil the president is. he's not done much of that, if any of it. I mean, I'm not saying he's been perfect, but he has at least taken the time to recognize,

you know, what his place is in this. Yeah. And it is not president of the United States. He's not, it's just not the way this works. It's not where our system works. We didn't elect Anthony Fauci. The only person who elected Anthony Fauci was Donald Trump, who continues to employ him.

And at some point, Donald Trump might say, you know what, now you suck, get out, and that will be completely his right to do it. Yeah. Completely his right to do it. Yes, he would be. I mean, he'd be crucified for doing it, but he's, he has every right to do it. He did it with Comey.

He did. He just said, get out. That was his answer to that. Get out. Triple 8, 727, BECK. More Pat and Stufer Glenn coming up. All right. So there are problems that men face as they get older.

They're not problems you necessarily want to talk about. E.D. Hair loss. All sorts of things like that. You want to say when one of these things happens, let's just get this taken care of, but you might be frustrated or embarrassed or, you know, it takes up to 29 days to see a doctor in some areas and it can get even worse now. Luckily, though, you have a situation where Roman was absolutely designed for a situation just like we're facing because they do this all online. You don't have to worry about talking to your doctor.

You don't have to worry about talking to the doctor that your kid is going to come in a week because they have allergies and you're sitting in the same room. It's just can be awkward. You're still going to get a U.S. licensed doctor. You're still going to get all the best medical information and recommendations that you would get from anywhere else. You're not going to deal with waiting in a waiting room. You don't have to deal with talking to some doctor in person. No awkward face-to-face conversations. You can do this all from the comfort of your own home.

Just grab your phone or computer and complete a free online visit. You'll hear back from a U.S. licensed physician within 24 hours. And if the doctor decides the treatment is right for you, Roman's pharmacy can ship your medication with free two-day shipping. No commitments, and you can cancel any time. If you're struggling with ED or hair loss or any other men's issue, go to get Roman.com slash Beck to get a free online visit and free two-day shipping. That's get Roman.com slash Beck for the free visit to get started.

Get Roman.com slash Beck. You're listening to Glenn Beck. AAA 727 Beck is the phone number. It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn, who's on vacation. One of the other things I think is interesting is how pathetic the media left are when it comes to these figures that wind up disagreeing with their viewpoints. You can't do it. You just can't do it. You know, we'll see these people who they embrace fully.

Believe all women they embrace. And then Tara Reid is a woman. Ah, screw her. She's not really a woman. They hate her. The same thing's happening with Elon Musk. here's a guy who is literally building spaceships to escape global warming.

Okay? That is why he's doing it. That's why he's doing it. That's his admitted motivation behind it. Here's a guy who is single-handedly. And the electric car thing back in the market. He's a guy who is single-handedly. We don't know people in this building

who have outfitted their house with the solar panels and the batteries and love them, right? Conservatives are buying electric cars. solar panels and batteries and are signing up to go to Mars to escape global warming. Because he made them viable. Right. He's made him viable. At his own expense, he's lost money on this. All of that goes down.

And the left, of course, loves him for that. That's okay. God forbid he wants to put any of these factories to cure global warming back to work. Now they hate him. Now, remember, they spent years telling us that global warming was the biggest threat to us, not a pandemic. It was global warming. That was a threat.

this guy wants to go back to work making electric cars and solar panels, but because he doesn't agree with the, I want a permanent lockdown idea, he's the devil. It is incredible how fast they will change if you step out of line in the slightest way. Oh, they will snap you back so hard. It'll break your neck.

Yeah. And that's exactly what's happening to Elon Musk right now. Yeah. And you know what else? Another person it's happened to is Kanye West. Oh, yeah. Kanye West, I mean, he is the ultimate darling of the left. Who is the George Bush doesn't like black people guy?

George Bush doesn't like black people. You know, he is a absolutely embraced as a genius for his work. And I know you're a huge rap. Oh, huge. Aficionado, so you would know this. Sure. But, you know, here's the guy who's like, you know, a genius. They call him a genius constantly.

Well, not that genius likes Donald Trump. Is he still a genius? No, he's a buffoon. He's the dumbest person on the face of the planet. And he might actually be mentally ill. Yeah. And you know what else, Pat? He might be just, he might not be black.

True. Well, he's definitely not black. He's definitely not black. And I will say, uh, that apparently is a real stance now by the Democratic presidential candidate, uh, Joe Biden, who I think if I heard this clip right, he seemingly told a black man. If he liked Donald Trump, he was not black. You tell me if I'm reading this wrong, Pat. Because I think that's exactly what he said in this interview.

We'll have that coming up. Triple-8-727, B-E-C-K is the phone number. Pat and Stu in for Glenn. Back in a second. It is great to have you with us on this Friday, the precipice of a three-day weekend here from Memorial Day. Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. You can also hear us at other times of the day.

Also, YouTube. Same with Stu and Stu Does America. You have all those choices as well, except it's not immediately before this program. Mine's 8 p.m. Eastern.

Go to Packray Unleash or Stu Does America on any podcast platform, subscribe and rate and review and do all those fun things. Plus, you go to YouTube. For mine, I know if you just search for Stu, STU.

there's my stupid face looking back at you. It's wonderful. Easy way to find it. Okay. Now, Joe Biden. This is incredible. So many reasons to vote for this guy. Here's yet another one.

I mean, Pat, did we not start this show today saying, you know what? It's a smart strategy to hide Joe Biden and not let him talk. It is a smart strategy as they found out today. Because today they decided, you know what we should do, let him talk. And this clip is. unbelievable. I mean, it would be disqualifying for a Republican to say this. Like, you're out, the race is over. Somehow, they're going to try to make sense of this. But I'm curious as to say if they think, if you listen to this clip and you tell me this guy's going to survive the, the magnifying glass of the presidential election.

Quite honestly. I don't see how you can. He's talking to Charlemagne the God who does a lot of interviews. He actually does a lot of. lot of big interviews. And he has a very big audience. And of course, Biden trying to court African-American voters. Here's the exchange. Thank you so much.

That's really our time. I apologize. You can't do that to black media. Okay. Let me stop it real quick. Just to set this up. I didn't realize this part was included as well. So what you're hearing is the interview has been going on for a while.

And the PR guy steps in and tries to stop the interview. Again, So, and Charlemagne is pissed off because they're cutting him off and not giving him access. And he says, you can't do that to black media. Now, I don't know what I guess you can do it to white media. I don't know what that means. Is there white media? Maybe I don't know.

Wow. But you can't apparently cut off an interview short with black media. Biden tries to talk about why he has to leave because obviously there's only one, I would assume, one place they can do interviews or there's other interviews scheduled. Then he says something else. That happens to all media, by the. But yeah, of course. Of course it happens to all media. I don't understand why race would be brought into that.

It's not the Democratic Party is not saying, oh, well, we won't talk to black audiences. They want to. They just don't want Joe Biden to say things like this when they talk to black media. Here is the clip again. Thank you so much. That's really our time. I apologize. You can't do that to black media.

I can't do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o'clock. Okay. Oh, uh, I'm in trouble. Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden. I will. It's a long way until November. We got more questions. You got more questions.

But I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, and you ain't black. It don't have nothing to do with Trump. Whoa. That's an amazing statement. I am flabbergasted by him. I mean, first of all, the cringe-worthy use of ain't in the middle of that. You ain't black. I mean, come.

if we republic. I don't even have to say it. I don't even have to say it. You can finish the sentence. But he is now, we are now at the point where apparently it's okay for a Democratic candidate, a white guy to white spleen to black people, what qualifies them as black. That is now the cool thing to do. It's okay now for old white guys to go to black people and say, oh, you, you count as black.

and you, you do not. And insinuate that if you do something that he disagrees with, it's okay to stereotype an entire race of people. Now, I thought that was racism. It would be. Stereotyping by color of skin would be racism, Pat. Wow. Would it really?

Now, I am also the type that thinks if you were to eliminate one of the two genders, and I did say, I know, two genders, one of the two genders, if you were to eliminate them, you would be a sexist. However, when Joe Biden has said he will only select a woman to be his vice presidential candidate that is not sexist. Here, I guess they'll try to give us the same spin that that is somehow not racially insensitive at the very least.

So insulting. But I mean, this is so typical of what we went back to talking about with Kanye West. Kanye West went from a brilliant black artist to a white guy when he decided to support Donald Trump. And that has been. the way they have treated him ever since he threw that hat on. It's true. And here you see Joe Biden saying the quiet thing out loud.

And you ain't black. They don't have nothing to do with Trump. I mean, that is, it's the type of thing that they all think in the Democratic Party. They all think it. All the people at the top, all those, all the white people at the top think black people only count when they agree with us. And here they are admitting it out loud. why Joe Biden shouldn't be given

any interviews. They should just hide him. Because this is what happens. He's now coming out and admitted the thing that the Democratic Party has been trying to hide for how long. And here it is, in full audio, full video, where he tells black people they are not black

unless they vote for him. Can you believe he would say something like that? No, no Republican gets away with that. No. No Republican. Triple 8-27-B-B-E-C-K more patents too for Glenn. This is the Glenn Beck program. You're on edge all day and you sleep horribly at night.

By the way, Pat, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn Beck today. He's on vacation. And he's missing out on the trending hashtag. Right now, hashtag, you ain't black. Oh, wow. It's trending across America. So great.

So great. Well, you ain't black. If you are having a hard time figuring out whether to vote for him or Trump. that what an incredible statement that is incredible it's not incredible that they think it it's incredible that they say it yeah you know and get away with it and get away well i don't know will it get away with us probably i think the only way he doesn't right is if democrats decide he's going to lose yeah if they say holy crap this is actually going to continue to keep happening which it will

and they realize that this is going to be such a disaster we're going to lose another one of these elections, at that point, he becomes very vulnerable. There's got to be people on his campaign staff that just absolutely cringe and have like coronary embolisms. Every time he opens his mouth, there's got to be somebody in that camp saying, well, we can't let him talk anymore. Seriously, you've got to stop him from speaking. Let's just, like you've said, hide him until November. because that's the only way you're going to be able to keep him from completely screwing this up.

I don't think he's capable anymore of self-aditting. Like there, for instance. No, he thinks he's in like, oh, this is a loose conversation among friends and I can say things like this. You know, and think of it from this perspective. You're someone who

is volunteering for the Biden campaign and you're black and these issues mean something to you. Because they don't mean anything to Joe Biden. They don't mean anything to the Democratic leadership. But they might mean something to, a volunteer who legitimately is like taking these issues seriously, how can you stand by this? How can you stand by and support a guy who would come out and tell, let's just say it's 10, 15, 20% of voters that they don't count as black people because they don't vote the way you want

them to. That is a, I mean, it's a despicable statement. Of course, he's gotten away with this kind of stuff before. I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who was articulate and bright and clean and mice. I mean, that's a storybook, man. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Now, show me the Republican that survives any of those statements.

The you ain't black thing. The Barack Obama is the first sort of clean, good-looking African-American. It's a storybook, man. It just doesn't happen. You don't see those guys of people. It's like, you know, a flying dragon or a clean black person. As he's comparing those two things. Both are just myth or urban legends.

They're mythical. It couldn't happen in the real world. And then the comment about it. Indians being at 7-Elevens. Nobody survives that in the Republican Party. Nobody. And he, so, I mean, and this is something to remember

because I think a lot of, a lot of people now have realized that Joe Biden is obviously having trouble communicating, getting through normal thought processes. We all know that. But he's always been bad. Like, he's always been bad at this.

Yes. This has always been a major problem for him. This, this type of, mistake that he's making today has nothing to do with his decreased capacity to communicate normal English, you know, phrases. No, it's just Joe being Joe. This is who he is. And he's always been this way.

And, you know, this is why he's, you know, look, winning a Senate race in Delaware, if you're, you know, any Democrat could do that. That's not difficult to do. Yeah. The difficult thing, you know, winning a presidency is much more difficult. and the fact that he was handed the vice presidency by a guy who, by all reports, says he picked him because he was white

and had gray hair. The Barack Obama reasoning for picking Joe Biden is he wanted someone who would not challenge white voters because he saw them as a whole racist, typical white people, right? Yeah. You know, who were afraid of black people

walking down the street. So I didn't want to challenge any... He's like, I'm already a reach for so many of these racists. I can't give them another black person or another person of color. So he picked him because he was white, picked him because he was a man, didn't want to challenge the sexist thing,

and picked him because he had gray hair. In other words, he had experience where people saw Obama as maybe not having enough experience. That is, by all reports, the reason he selected Joe Biden, not because he was the best guy for the job, apparently. And you see this here. This is a disaster.

He is a disastrous candidate. If you ran in that primary and lost to this guy, what does that say about you? You suck. You've got it. to be sitting. If you're like, I don't, you can maybe Andrew Yang at home right now. I mean, like, what the hell? First of all, now we're all of a sudden

both sides seem to be on the side of universal basic income. I don't know what happened. Maybe they should have let me talk more in these debates. But I mean, you're Amy Klobuchar. You're Kamala Harris. You're sitting here, I lost to this guy. I lost this guy who, who's trying to inform us whether we're black or not.

You can't be, you can't be proud of that. That's one way to put it, Pat. Yes. You can't be proud of it. You can't be proud of that. More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up on the Glenn Beck program.

This is blowing up in the face of Joe Biden right now. Is it? I mean, people can't believe he said that. And you ain't black. Say it one more time. Can we get it one more time, sir? Because this is a Charlemagne, the God, talking to Joe Biden today. And you ain't black. That's the money.

Yeah, that's it. If you go, can we hear the whole thing one more time? Just to give people context here, Sarah. Again, he's talking, the first voice you'll hear kind of is a Democratic operative, a PR person who steps in and says, we got to go. We're out of time. And Charlaman's pissed off about that. And it escalates from there.

Thank you so much. That's really our time. I apologize. You can't do that to black media. I can't do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o'clock. Okay. Oh, uh-oh, I'm in trouble. Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden.

I will. It's a long way until November. We got more questions. You got more questions. But I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, and you ain't black. Wow. Wow. What a statement.

Yeah. Now, they're trying to say, that was in jest? No. That was not in jest. I think they put a question mark at the end of it. Do you guys believe this? one? I don't know. I mean, he...

Pretty tough to wiggle out of that. Yeah. I don't know what you do. I don't know how I don't know how you can survive this guy. He's so terrible. Pat and I were just talking about this off the air in one of the breaks where today, 2.4 million people

came out in the report that were unemployed this past week. 2.4 million people. The total now is 38 million people over nine weeks. Do I have that right, Pat? Yeah, 38.6. million. 38. I mean,

I'm just throwing it. 600,000 people. Yeah, you just didn't care about. I just not even, right. So at 38.6 million people in nine weeks.

In any normal situation, regardless of their fault in the, the, the way the thing was handled, any president who had to deal with 38.6 million people going unemployed in nine weeks

despite the situation, is going to face a really tough battle to, to get themselves reelected. It's just fact. And it's like one of those things where you, people associate their circumstances with the president.

And I think this is a negative development that's happened in relatively recent American history, where we have put the president on such a high pedestal, and we talk about them so often, that we almost see them as like the symbol of the country. And when we feel like the country's going in the wrong direction, George H.W. Bush, faced this in in 1992 where and they're on a minor recession but people were bummed about it and

he loses you know a few months after a 90% approval rating those things are real people associate their feeling you know with who they vote for if they're happy they want this to continue ronald regan saw that when they got sad with bush they were like oh let's change and go some some other direction um that's typically the way these things are handled there's some circumstances is where that's not the case. Usually war is the reason for that. When you get into a situation where you're at war, you might stick with the guy because you see him as a steady hand. And it's very possible that a lot of Americans kind of do see this as a war, right, the COVID situation. And obviously, the virus isn't Trump's fault.

And you can talk about the way people handle it and there will be things being picked apart. But it's going to be a tough battle to get reelected in an environment if we're at an unemployment rate of, say, 12%. Like, it's going to go up. We know for sure next month. Maybe it comes back a little bit, but you're at 11, 12% unemployment, it's going to be hard to win a re-election. And then every time you come down with that analysis, and I've done it in my head many times, how can you win in this environment, fair or not? Then I look at Joe Biden, and that's how you win. Yes.

You face Joe Biden. The polling, we went over some of the polling earlier. Right now, Biden, because he's not been in the media and not been seen, has large leads in these polls. You know, uh... And swing states. And swing states. He's up by quite a bit, too.

He lead, they did. Like eight to 11 points. Yeah. Arizona, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Just a little quick glance at that. Trump would basically need to win all those states. He might be able to lose one of them. I don't have the electoral college built up in front of me.

But I mean, he won those states last time, and it was a very close election. Maybe he could, he could afford to lose one of them. But he is down by all, in every single one of the states, by at least, least I think five. No, North Carolina's closer than I think it's two. Okay. But the point is you could look at Biden on paper and say, well, he should win, right? Like we're in a tough time with the economy.

Obviously, we're in the middle of this pandemic. God forbid there's a second wave of this. Who knows what would happen? Yeah. But he is so terrible and so obviously incapable of normal human interaction that I don't know that anyone can vote for the guy. I don't see how you could look at me with a straight face and say that guy should be president of the United States. You can't.

And then you couple that with the Tara Reid situation, which they apparently have just discounted. They just thrown that away. They just, I mean, believe all women is completely gone right out the window. And this particular woman, they've just decided, did you see that hit piece on her in the Politico this week? Oh, my gosh. Unbelievable. This is what happens. That they're just doing the bidding of the Joe Biden campaign.

and they just took her apart, calling her deceitful, manipulative. They might as well have called her evil. Yeah. They basically found every enemy she's ever had in her life and interviewed them and just put it on the record. Yeah. And basically what it was was she has a hard time paying some bills. I mean, that's, but they blew that up into a federal offense. Really amazing stuff.

I really love spending time with my family, but here at the old Beck compound, it's getting a little rank. You know what I'm saying? Getting to the point to where we're like, hey, still you again, huh? If you're in a similar situation, you can empathize.

I can empathize with you. Too much time indoors is not healthy. But let me tell you about something I've discovered that help calm the water some, and it's rec tech grills. Raph and I are out on the back porch with the rec tech grill, and I'm telling you, cooking for the family, it is so easy and so good. when you're actually spending enjoyable quality time together with a great rack of ribs. Oh my gosh. We're cooking now on rec tech grill.

Let me ask you this. If there's a second wave, you know, we've got all these states, most states now are at least starting to relax restrictions and starting to get back to business as usual and reopening certain businesses that haven't been opened in too much. months. If there is, if and when there is a second wave of this virus, first of all, will the governments, the various state and local governments, along with maybe even the federal government, try to shut things down again? And if they do, will Americans go along with it? Because I don't,

I don't think Americans will. I think we're done with it at this point. We gave him this one chance, right? Like, yes. And look, the way it was pitched was. was we need to get prepared. And I think that's why it made... Flatten the curve. Flatten the curve, right? You can make the argument that that is, was... I don't like the exact way everything went, clearly.

And there's obviously been flares into the ridiculous with the Michigan governor and Kentucky governors and, you know, all this nonsense of people being arrested for opening their businesses and all that crap. But I mean, generally speaking, if you look at what Trump basically recommended, which was six weeks of mainly staying at home unless you had to go out trying to avoid contact probably did help the situation, right?

I mean, as far as the virus goes, I mean, definitely helped the situation in my view, and definitely hurt the economy in a massive, massive way. It was a very expensive way to buy time. The sad thing about this is if the CDC came through with their test, I don't think any of that happens. If the testing thing worked initially, and this is not a Trump situation, this is a CDC situation, they tried to come up with their own test and it didn't work. If we had hundreds of thousands of tests at the beginning of March, I think we closed down New York and we probably closed down Detroit or New Orleans,

but we do not have a nationwide shutdown. They had no idea where this thing was. And if you think about it from the perspective of, holy crap, we don't know what we're facing, you can make the argument that the shutdown was appropriate for some time. But we now have had that time. We now know more about the virus. We now have the PPE.

We now have all the ventilators. We now know who's most affected. We know so much more now. We have been able to prepare. We have been able to move our level of knowledge forward. I don't think the American people would be okay with that in any way. With one exception of, it got horrifically awful. if every city in America turns into New York City,

then yes, people will be begging to stay home. But outside of that, I don't think of it's a normal situation like we just went through. I don't think Americans will go along with another shutdown. And we've got situations like more than 600, more than 600 doctors across the country just signed a letter this week, urging President Trump to end the lockdowns. We're told all the time, well, you guys are anti-science. we've got a delight.

Well, here are people who are in this field saying, look, this is not good for us. They said they described the widespread lockdown orders as a, quote, mass casualty incident, unquote. And they warned of exponentially growing health consequences if it continues. The letter, in this letter, the doctors described several of the unintended negative consequences of the shutdown, including patients' misconduct. checking ups with their doctors that could detect cancer and other serious conditions,

an increase in alcohol and substance abuse, financial instability leading to poverty, poor health, you know, starvation, potentially. They said millions of Americans are already in critical condition. These include 150,000 Americans per month who would have had new cancer detected through routine screenings that has not happened. millions who have missed routine dental care to fix problems strongly linked to heart disease and death and preventable cases of stroke, heart attack, child abuse,

suicide hotline phone calls have increased 600%. All of those are the unintended consequences of a lockdown. Yeah. And I can't, you know, you can make the argument, right, that you take extreme steps in these situations. And I, you know, look, we saw what happened when we, you know, when everyone was going about their business, you know,

at the beginning, we did it with late February, early March, was it an example of that. It was not pretty. However, on the other side of that, I think of it this way.

Like, there's no, there's never a reason for you to find a room in your house and lock yourself in it with no windows and no access to the outside for multiple hours at a time,

right? That's not something you would do. However, that is what a panic room is, right? So if someone's breaking into your house, in that moment, maybe it makes sense to do something. The thing about a panic room, though, is not a long-term life solution. Yeah, you're not staying there for eight weeks. Right. It's not what you do with a panic room.

It's a short-term solution. So let's just say that, you know, we're already past this anyway. We're past the point where this decision can be redone. We didn't have the testing. All of this is already. real and has already occurred. So where do we go from here? I don't know about you, Pat, and I wonder if you feel the same way.

I watch this debate, and I watch pundits going back and forth about, you know, shut it down, open it up. It's harder and harder to relate to living in Texas. You know, I honestly, like my day-to-day life right now, and I know this is going to piss people off because they're like, screw you, I'm in the, I haven't loved my house. It's seven weeks. Right. My day-to-day life in Texas, I know this is different than the rest of the country,

is not all that different. Yeah. Right? At this point, now it was several weeks ago in the middle of the real lockdown, but we've now opened up, you know, restaurants to 50% as of today. Uh-huh. They've opened up, you know, the only thing we're missing now are large gatherings, which is an occasional thing for us, like, you know, for everybody, right?

Like, I'm not going to a concert every weekend, you know, but I haven't been to a concert in a long time. Or a baseball game. Or baseball game or whatever. And I definitely miss watching sports on TV. But, you know, I'm not going every week to a game. Bars were closed. You know, I'm too old to, you know, I'm 44 now. So it's like, you know, I'm at bars all the time.

But like, you know, some people would have that, right? They're opening up as of today. They opened up at midnight last night, which I thought was hilarious. Like, people are so desperate to get into bars. They're open up at midnight last night. So those are open now here. There's a lot of things going, like, you know, there's things like, you know, there's things like kids camps are starting to open here now for the summer.

You know, but like, yeah, there's things like trampoline parks for your kids that are not open. There's definitely, you know, big amusement parks and those types of things. I'm not saying it's not different.

But listening to this idea that, you know, the debate is open the economy or close the economy is now foreign to most people in Texas. Mm-hmm. The economic ramifications are there. There's still plenty of people with virus, and there's still people dying every day in Texas as well.

But the effect on us is now much different than it is if you live in New York, if you live in California, if you live in Washington, D.C. And the reason I mention those three specifically, it's where all your media debate is coming from. You know, it is totally different than a huge chunk of people who live in the middle of the country, who live in the South, who don't live in, and I don't even say all of California, particularly Los Angeles County

where they've been very restrictive. You know, the reason why people praise Cuomo all the time is he's their guy. He's talking about their neighborhoods. He's talking about all of the restrictions they're dealing with in the media. It's not like that in other areas. People live in Florida.

They're going to the beaches. They're going out and they're going probably to restaurants and they're starting to open up. It's still weird. There's people with math. on, you know, like the restaurants never packed. They can only go up to 50% capacity here, 25% for bars. And I know these rules.

They spaced everything out. Yeah. But they spaced everything out. It's different. It's still odd. But like you're able to go and do many of the things you would do in normal life. You know, that is something that, you know, we're blessed with, with, with the spirit of Texas here.

And I think, you know, many other states have felt similar things. But these people. People, we're now at the point where this is not a conversation about open the economy or close the economy. It's a conversation about overreach. You know, if we have another flare-up now, things have been mishandled and we'll have to adjust policy. But we've taken this time to supposedly prepare for exactly that. We're supposed to, we now have testing that when we see a flare-up, if, if Dallas or Houston or El Paso turn into a major hot zone, we're going to know about it quick. and we need to act to try to contain that.

But that does not mean Cheyenne Wyoming closes down for business. That's nuts. Right. And it makes no sense for that to happen again. Just to give you kind of an idea to back that up, you know how many deaths they've had in Wyoming? Since you mentioned Wyoming.

Not a lot. It took a while for their first one. 12. 12. Not 1,200. 12. I mean, think of how frustrating that does. completely frustrating.

Because there was never a time where closing Wyoming made sense. Never a time. There was a time where closing New York made sense. There's a time, and that might still be today. There was a time where maybe even closing Florida, you can make an argument for it where it looked like there might be an issue in Miami for a while.

You know, New Orleans, maybe Louisiana. You know, you could make these arguments. There's never a time that it made sense to close South Dakota, to close Wyoming, to close Idaho, to close Nebraska, to close Iowa. You know, there were flare-ups, there were serious situations. I think a lot of times we get into this argument of whether is this the worst thing that's ever happened or absolutely nothing. And it's neither of those two things.

You know, it is serious, it was serious, it's killed a lot of freaking people and it's been devastating to people. Number one, it's not just killing them. there are a lot of people who are going through it, even young people surviving and 8, 10, 12 weeks later are unable to do any physical activity without being short of breath. Some lasting effects. There's some serious weird crap going on with this.

Yeah. And, you know, there's a million stories of family members who never get to see their person who goes into the hospital with it, where they're not sure if it's a cold or what, they get a test, and they never get to see them again because they can't go into the same room with them. I mean, it's crushing. A lot of the stuff is really bad,

and I don't want to underplay it. It's not something to be underplayed, I don't think. But on the other side of that, even the original Imperial College study, the one that said, if we do nothing, we'll have two million people dead. Even that study, which everyone is recognized, you know, we're not going to get two million people.

Of course, we did take action, so it's hard to put that exactly on the same scale. But even that study that has been largely thrown away by most people as too alarmists. in that study, it specifically says the United States of America should deal with this on a state-by-state basis for the most efficient policy

and not do a blanket overall national policy. Even that study said that. It is blatantly obvious that you should not treat Manhattan the same way as Wyoming. Everyone on earth recognizes this. and I think we're finally at the point where now the states are able to do that.

They are opening up. Texas is no longer treated like it like Manhattan was. And you can feel it. You can feel the difference. And as long as I think people are, you know, smart and don't, you know, don't, let's not, there's not any sneeze parties. I know a lot of people used to love doing that. Go around.

Let's everybody get in a circle and start sneezing on each other. It's a lot of fun. You know, there's a great time. Love it. If we can just skip that type of stuff, We should be able to come out of this. All right. AAA 727 B-E-C-K.

ZipRecruiter.com slash work together. That's ziprecruiter.com slash work together. It's Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck back program. And I'll tell you another thing that pisses me off. This Aunt Becky situation where she's going to prison for two months and her husband's going for five. So why that seems a little sexist. She gets two months in a hundred and fifty thousand dollar fine. Her husband, who is not Uncle Jesse, she dumped him somewhere along the way. And I think that's

the real crime here. But her husband, Massimo, or whatever his name is, Giannouli, he gets five months in jail and a $250,000 fine. I don't know what's going on there,

but why are either one of them spending one second in jail over this thing? This is the dumbest continuing controversy, I think. I'm totally... Totally with you on this. I'm so glad that people who are.

Right. I know. A lot of people who are. I don't know. that people are pissed off, well, that's unfair to other people. No, it's not. Why? No, it's not. What is it? There's no difference. The USC is not like, well, we only have 22,000 people and we'd have 22,001 if we let this other person in, and, and Becky's

kid. That's not going to happen. That's not real. It's just a BS argument for people to say, well, I don't like what she did, which is fine. I think it's a dumb parenting move, because you're coddling your kid into a better college than they could get into normally, or getting on a team that they wouldn't necessarily achieve on their own. It's not a, it's not a, it's not a, thing. It doesn't help your kid. It's not a good example to set for him. But that is not

a crime. No. That is not a crime. Whatever law they've busted her on should be removed from existence if there even is one, if they're even trying to tie it to a crime. The fact that you want to pay more to attend a university,

I got news for you. When you want better tickets at a concert, you pay more. When you want to have your kid in the college, and this has been constant, you buy a building or you make some large donation. Guess what your kids gets into college. But the fact that she paid directly to get her kid into a college is some

crime, it may be distasteful to you. It is not a crime. It's insanity that she's going to prison over it. She should not only not go to prison, not spend one cent in fines. Absolutely. Not one. That's right. You want to get trouble. She should have been told hey, that wasn't very nice. And we should have moved

on! You might want to fire someone who works at USC or Arizona State over it. Fine. You might not like it in your college. You might want to get rid of the person who engaged in it. Right. Okay. Fine. But jail time and losing her career forever? No. Stupid.

Shouldn't have happened. It's ridiculous that it is. You know, everyone's talking about Karen with the COVID thing. What is this? Right. This is every Karen getting upset that Lori Loughlin got her kid into a college that is, I mean, Arizona State, it's not Harvard, guys. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
