Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello America. It's Friday. Great show for you. A little COVID, you know, 19. I don't know if you didn't have COVID 18, 17 and 16. I don't know if you'll understand COVID 19, but we'll give you our coronavirus update. And I want to kind of bring you and set the mood and bring you into what it must be like in Seattle now. They're saying this is the capital of America for COVID-19. What a surprise. I actually am surprised. I thought it. if you were looking for a capital of disease, wouldn't you have thought it was San Francisco with all the poop on the streets? But it's Seattle, who has his own share of poop on the streets? So congratulations on that. We begin with COVID-19.

Starting point is 00:02:58 slash Beck. So if you draw two dots over parentheses, face appears all of a sudden. We know that because it's a sideways smiley face if you're doing it online. You'll see the smiley face in the lines and the circles. It's amazing. When we see scribbles on paper, we can easily assign that meaning and give life to an abstract symbol,
Starting point is 00:03:25 an icon, lacking any detail or real. and we infuse that with universality. And the less detail that an image or a drawing or a painting has, the more we complete it ourselves, the more personal it becomes. Our eyes blend colors. But our brain also fills in all of the missing details. And we see ourselves,
Starting point is 00:03:53 somehow or another we see a smiley face with a colon and a parenthesis. It's an oddity of the human mind. And for now, this anomaly is keeping me hopeful, as hopeful as you can be approaching a coming storm and that cloud of COVID-19 on the horizon. This is the coronavirus. It already is a global pandemic.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I don't think anybody wants to call it that because then there are legal responsibilities with a pandemic. pandemic. But that's what this is. And most of the victims of COVID-19 have remained unknown. They're just statistics. We see these numbers every day. They're forebodings. Their identities have been redacted for obvious reasons. And we're only given slivers of detail. So we are filling in the rest of the picture. Next Wednesday night, I'm doing a special on coronavirus. We've delayed some of the other specials that we were going to do. And I'm going to do another special on coronavirus and fear.
Starting point is 00:05:00 And why we fear this so much. And it is because while we say we've never seen these things before, we have, actually. We've seen them in in apocalyptic TV shows and apocalyptic movies. And so that's helping us fill in these blanks. I want to tell you the stories of those who are afflicted with the virus, the doctors, and the nurses on the front line. But today, I want to tell you about the unknown man because the unknown man is all of us.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Because the unknown man really goes through his whole life, never thinking about particles or the invisible life forms that are all over him all the time floating in the air. Perhaps he never had a chance, in part, because he showed no symptoms, no fever, no telltale, dry, windless cough. And either way, he likely assumed, it would be fine.
Starting point is 00:06:00 It's a scary thing, but it doesn't happen to me. It doesn't happen to him. Same as all of us would. This 21st century America, land of luxury and good doctors, and we're not having bat soup can't happen to us. It's kind of like what it must feel like in California. You build these incredible houses, and then they burn to the ground.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It's not going to happen. Well, the rest of us go to California. We see these houses on these sticks on the side of the mountain. And then we see mudslides and we're like, hello. But those who build those little houses on popsicle sticks, they're like, it's not me. The unknown man has two lines. Paranthases, he is us. He knows that you can find crab cakes and great beer at most of the 48 concession stands,
Starting point is 00:07:01 the restaurants and the lounges at Central Link Field. the noisy 70,000-seat stadium just a mile south of downtown Seattle. CenturyLink is home to the Seattle Seahawks as well as the Sounders. On Saturday, February 22nd, it hosted a football game between the Seattle Dragons and the Dallas Renegades. Week 3 of the inaugural season of the XFL. Professional Football League founded by W.W.E. owner, Vince McMahon. That day, Dallas was. in Seattle and it was brisk. It was 48 degrees. 22,060 people gathered for the game.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Nobody was thinking about the virus that was right there. No one noticed the invisible particle that nobody thinks about that was eager to pounce, eager to feast. At the same time, there was no doubt that the virus was on their mind, at least some, something that we're all well aware of, the coronavirus disease, the outbreak, clawed its way into our collective psyche. Even kids know about it. Everybody knows about it now. But back February 22nd, nobody was really paying attention.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Our unknown man works part-time at one of the 48 concession stands at CenturyLink Field. And on that day, he contracted the virus, but he didn't realize it. A week later, he tested positive for COVID-19. in response, King County officials released a statement advising that no extra precautions are required for those who attended that game February 22nd or anybody who is attending upcoming events but remain on watch. Meanwhile, the Dallas team came back to Dallas to a whole new stadium of unknown men and women. An op-ed in the New York Times yesterday describes Seattle as America's coronavirus capital. Of the approximate 220 cases of coronavirus in the U.S., Washington has 75 of them. Ten people in Seattle have died.
Starting point is 00:09:20 California has had 60 cases. New York 22. Texas 14. As of yesterday, 56 new cases emerged. Coast to coast. The first signs of the virus appeared in Seattle sometime in mid-January where a man returned from Wuhan, China. He was diagnosed. It was the first case of the disease in the U.S. Now, globally, the number has climbed to over 100,000.
Starting point is 00:09:50 But 100,000 is not the real number. We don't know what the real number is. We don't know what the real fatality rate of this is. It's at 3.4% now, but it is probably much more. much lower because that invisible particle has been floating around in all of our cities. And there is no test that you can get from your doctor. Right now you have to go to a university hospital. You have to go to one of the big regional hospitals.
Starting point is 00:10:20 And it's getting better. But we still have tested less than what, a thousand people? They say the fatality rate is less than 2%. That's when all the numbers come in. it's deadly but not for everybody for reference Ebola has a fatality rate of about 25 anywhere between 25 and 90 percent so you have a best case scenario you have a 25 percent chance of dying if you got Ebola and it's a wicked wicked death the thing with Ebola is it's not easy to spread if you remember we did a little we did a little cartoon
Starting point is 00:11:07 when Ebola came to Dallas and came to America. And it was, don't touch somebody's pee, poop, or vomit. That's pretty much you have to. If somebody is bleeding from the eyes, don't touch them. That's pretty much what you need to know about Ebola and you don't get it. On Tuesday, the CDC announced the virus is contagious enough that a global impact is inevitable. It's too late to stop it now. but what we're doing now is stopping it from infecting all of our first responders.
Starting point is 00:11:44 We need our doctors. We need our hospitals. That's why they're asking 2.2 million people in Seattle to stay home. The director for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases yesterday said people should begin to practice social distancing measures. What is that? social distancing measures. That's stand three to five feet away from each other. And also cancel school, postpone conferences, avoid large gatherings.
Starting point is 00:12:16 That's what we should begin practicing now. If we don't have this burnout during the summer and we don't find a vaccine for it in the next six to 12 months that is actually in practice, this could change relationship. forever. Things change. It's like a war. When you're fighting a war, you never really go back to the country that you were because you just wanted to stop. And things change. We would have never accepted any of the things. FISA, the FISA courts, secret courts, we would never have accepted that. But after we were bombed, we did. In fact, we all dutifully take off our stupid shoes every time. We're giving the TSA a retina scan.
Starting point is 00:13:10 That's a dumbest thing ever. But September 11th changed us. How this will change us in the world, I don't know. Now in King County, it's too advanced for mere precautions. Not only did they ask yesterday, King County, that's the Seattle County. Officials announced plans to convert a local motel. into a quarantine site. It's actually pretty smart,
Starting point is 00:13:40 but nobody wants that in their neighborhood. Not in my backyard. You're going to put those people where? This Saturday, Sounders, Seattle's major league soccer team, they're scheduled to play the Columbus crew. When news broke out about the concession stand worker, representatives of King County were quick to remain calm.
Starting point is 00:14:04 They said, quote, as of now, Seattle's professional sports organizations, dragons, first and goals, Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders, they're going to continue with their scheduled events. But how many of the unknown man are going to attend? How many of the unknown man are going to do the things they used to do as we all navigate our life the best that we can? Maybe a dark glow enshrines him as he looks out.
Starting point is 00:14:39 the world, a world that doesn't realize that he, the unknown man, what he's become, in moments of lingering catastrophe, it's important to remember the collective self as well as the individual self. The unknown man, while blank and simple and abstract to us, he's a member of our tribe. He, like a growing number of people. became infected, got trapped in lingering shadows that keep him now unknown. But while we may not know the names and the places and the people themselves, they are not so different than you and me.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Springs just around a corner, and you know what that means, it's lawn mowing season.

Starting point is 00:17:00 That's hustlerturf.com. HustlerTurf.com. 10 seconds, station ID. All right. Brian Williams was on television. New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay was on with him. him both Williams and Gay marveled on air at the reaction to a Twitter user's post about Michael Bloomberg's campaign spending.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Here's the thing. The Super Tuesday evening post now deleted said Bloomberg spent $500 million on ad. Do you know the story yet, still? Yes, this is incredible. I was hoping you didn't because I wanted to see if you'd just catch it immediately. Bloomberg, which you would have. Bloomberg spent $500 million on ad. That means with the U.S. population at $327 million,
Starting point is 00:18:04 he could have given each American a million dollars and still had money left over. I feel, feel like a million dollar check would be life-changing for people, and he wasted it all on ads and still lost. Incredible. This actually made it to television. Right. And then William said, wow, that is an incredible way of putting it. I think we have the...
Starting point is 00:18:25 Do we have the audio of this? You don't play this audio. This is amazing. Lover spent $500 million on ads. US population, $327 million. Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math. He could have given each American $1 million and have had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way of putting it.
Starting point is 00:18:43 It's an incredible way of putting it. It's true. It's disturbing. It does suggest, you know, what we're talking about here, which is there's too much money in politics. There's too much money in politics. There's too much money in politics. Really just a week. ago. You all were saying, hey, Bloomberg's money could be really important in shutting down
Starting point is 00:19:05 Sanders. It didn't. It didn't. Now, did it? You can't buy an election. Tom Steyer tried to buy an election. Couldn't do it. Bloomberg spent more money than Hillary Clinton did, not just in the nomination race, but the entire race total. Bloomberg could not buy the election. What do you mean? there's too much money in the election. It's so ridiculous. And, you know, one easy way to do the math here is if you're giving a million dollars to each person and the number is $500 million, the word before million is $500. So he could have given $500 people a million each. It's very difficult math.
Starting point is 00:19:50 The total, I believe, is the number I keep seeing, I haven't done the math. $1.53. And I've heard $327 trillion to actually do it. million to everybody. Yeah. So the actual math is, you know, when the New York Times comes out and says, it is an incredible way, and it's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:08 No, it's not. He could have given everybody a $1.53. That's what he would have given everybody in America $1.53. I don't know about you, but that's not life-changing. I don't know about you, but that doesn't change my vote. Somebody comes up to me and goes, look, I tell you what, you vote for me. I'll give you $1.53. Do you even stop?
Starting point is 00:20:25 No. You even stop. You're like, okay, crazy man. Okay. It's such a ridiculous thing. Like, how could you just not inherently catch that immediately? A million dollars to each person, 500 million. Like, 500 million.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Like, it's 500 millions. There's 500 piles of a million dollars. You could get 500 people $1 million. No. No, Stu. No. If he would have done that to every single super delegate, maybe he would have had something.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Yeah. I'm going to give. a million dollars to every super delegate and I'll still have money left over where I can give everybody less than a dollar 53 or less than which is slightly less than a million dollars for every American.

Starting point is 00:22:54 Hi, Glenn. Hi. Welcome to Friday. Glad you're here. Yeah, me too. Bill O'Reilly is coming up. I don't think he is, actually. Oh, he's not? No.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I do. I didn't plan. anything for the second hour. I was just going to let him blab. I was going to go for breakfast. Oh, we get way of breakfast now, though. We do? Yes. Actually, the only reason I came in today was because of this. Well, I'm pretty sure I have COVID-19. So I was thinking, should I stay home? And then I thought, no, today's the day we're testing all the Wendy's breakfast food. Ah, okay. So that's the only reason I show. By the way, I'm also confirmed. Confirmed. You are confirmed? I'm a gun confirmed. COVID-19. Stop it. Yes. Stop it. Both of you. Both of you, stop it. Why? First of
Starting point is 00:23:34 well, tell the truth. Pat has COVID 10. I have COVID 9. Together we have COVID 19. Oh, that's adorable. You haven't been tested yet. So don't claim your badge of the crown until you actually awarded that. Okay? Some of us have worked hard for our COVID status. That's true. So Wendy's is making breakfast now? This is a big deal. It's a big deal. Yes, Wendy's is making breakfast first. Well, I think it's the third time they tried it. But is it Yeah, they tried to, they had a couple test runs that did not go well, apparently, a few years ago. But they're trying it now. And if you notice, you can, like, every other commercial on TV is for either Burger King or McDonald's breakfast, which because they're all just trying to like.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Isn't McDonald's giving breakfast? Holy cow, this is a carb free option. And that does not look good. Wow. This is, this is common. Breakfast is harder. This little thing doesn't look good. Then you think, I mean, I always, this makes me always think McDonald's has such a good job with breakfast because I remember when Taco Bell launched breakfast, I was so excited about it.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Really not, not, not good. Oh, really? I mean, no. Are they still doing it? I think they are. I can't imagine anything at Taco Bell not being good. I mean, everything. I love Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:24:49 I love it. I love the people. I love hanging out there. I am not eating this. I am not eating this. Yes, you are. It was a taste test. Okay, so what do we have here?
Starting point is 00:24:57 No, I'm. Oh, you got sausage? You got some egg and you got bacon. Yeah. What are you complaining about? I don't like it. It looks delicious. No, it does not.
Starting point is 00:25:04 It looks delicious. It looks delicious. It looks delicious. It's not exactly the right color. I'm not even going to try it? I'm not going to try that. Seriously? Nope.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Nope. Wow. I would not. Based on their carb free, their carb free option here of just a square egg, a square piece of sausage and some bacon. What is the deal with the square thing at Wendy's? It's strange. All right. But this, this is a chicken and.
Starting point is 00:25:30 bacon chrassad. Chicken and bacon is just a lunch or dinner. They're French fries. I'm sorry, they're hash browns. They're French fries.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yes. They're just French fries. They're just French fries. I, uh, I guess they're home fries. They're pretty good though. Mm-hmm. The fries are like the seasoned, uh,
Starting point is 00:25:51 fries that are a little bit thicker. Yeah. Than the normal fry. Uh, pretty good. I would say the fries are pretty good, actually. They should have these on the normal menu. the chicken bacon
Starting point is 00:26:02 croissantish type of sandwich is not bad it's pretty good chicken i have the chicken have you had the chicken um biscuit thing i have it but i haven't tried it right that is really good oh good the biscuit is there's a honey butter chicken biscuit i believe is what you're talking about that's what i just had yeah that's delicious you know i want to make sure i understand you're on a low carb diet yeah and you got a low carb option and you're currently eating a honey butter chicken biscuit?
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah. Yeah. No, this is science, man. This is science. Okay. This just looks so disgusting. I won't try.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Hmm. But I don't think you're going to wandy. It's the same thing that's out of the sandwich. I know. It's not, it's hidden by the bread. This, but the biscuit is actually a little like,
Starting point is 00:26:50 there's nobody that makes a biscuit like Popeye's. Hmm. Popeyes makes a much better biscuit, but this is not bad. Yeah, the, so they went with this. And the chicken is good. If you want to know the unique things here, I would say, first of all, the honey butter chicken biscuit is something that is just, it's just blatantly not a breakfast sandwich into breakfast.
Starting point is 00:27:12 That is just not a sandwich that's for breakfast. They've just decided to give you a chicken sandwich for breakfast, which is not, which is fine. You're going to have a chicken sandwich for breakfast, but don't call it breakfast. That's almost like chicken and waffles. That's really good. Okay. Does this look appetizing to anybody? Yeah, this is the unique.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I would say this is one of their unique plays, which is it looks kind of like a hamburger. roll if you looked at it from but it's a croissant it's sort of croissant ish yeah i'd say it's it's calling it a croissant but it's not let me i would call it a i would call it a croissant's and a bum all let me let me just say this right here is the look of a failed breakfast attempt that will close the doors of wendies in the morning now that is a failed look at that i don't know i think the i think the christon thing's not bad i took a bite No. Big and cheese.
Starting point is 00:28:03 McDonald's at least, you know, I don't know how they do it, but they mold their logo into. You know, at least the meat is shaped like it has bones in it and it's got a nice logo on the on the McGill. McGill. This just looks like crap. This looks like, yeah. Hey, kids. I mean, some breakfast is down the stairs. That's not good.
Starting point is 00:28:28 You don't even want to try it? No. No. Did you try the croissant thing, Pat? I did. It's not bad. It's, it's, it's, it's okay. It has some sort of a sauce on it, I would say?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Yes, like a sweet sauce that I guess screams breakfast. I don't know. Yeah. I don't think they understand what breakfast foods are. I don't think they're, I don't think this is going to work. The biscuit with chicken is really good. The best, all right, let me try the biscuit. I haven't tried the biscuit yet.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Biscuit with chicken is really good. Hmm. I mean, it's, that's, that's as good as if you like McGrittles, which I do, that's as good as a McGrittles. Yeah. And it might be syrup that they put on it. I think that's why you like it. I think so.
Starting point is 00:29:07 And you really love the McGriddle, and that's what they do with the McGritle. They bake the syrup right into it. I don't know how they do that. I don't want to know McDonald's. Don't ever tell us because it'll make me stop wanting it. Probably. It's like witchcraft. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:21 You know, if Dow Chemical was full of witches, that's what they'd be making. I think Dow Chemical is full of witches. I've been pretty sure that's true. That's how they're so effective. Yeah. I will say this about the biscuit. Usually like a buttery biscuit. That is like every bite has two sticks of butter in it.
Starting point is 00:29:40 That's how buttery that biscuit is. It's pretty good. It's a pretty good biscuit. It's good. I would say, like, I don't think any of these are bad. The croissant thing is more on the level of the Burger King Crescent sandwich, I believe they call it, which is just okay. Yeah, this is, if you're going to launch breakfast,
Starting point is 00:30:02 this was like I'm the CEO of Wendy's and you come in with this I'm like Try again. You know, I'm not. That's what I'm like. Yeah. I'm not opening up.
Starting point is 00:30:14 I'm not opening up and putting a whole bunch of money breakfast for this. No. Where's the pancakes? Where's a waffle? Where's anything besides? I would say to them, okay, you have the biscuit chicken biscuit thing?
Starting point is 00:30:27 You got it. That's not enough to open us up for breakfast. No. Yeah. That's just, you know, McDonald's did so well
Starting point is 00:30:35 with the breakfast all day thing. Now everyone's trying to get on the bandwagon. I was on a plane and I watched Super Size Me 2. Oh. Remember Super Size Me? The documentary, Morgan Spurlock. I didn't watch it,
Starting point is 00:30:48 though, so I wouldn't understand two, I don't think. Super Size Me too would be really confusing. No, I think you might be able to pick it up. It's like COVID-19. Uh-huh. I haven't seen it yet.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I haven't seen the first 18. Right. But I think you'll get it. So it was Spurlock, the guy who, had on that first episode at Fox No, that was the fast food nation guy. The guy who wrote the fast food nation
Starting point is 00:31:08 and he hated us. He did and it was such a good interview and it was the first show Glenn did on CNN headline news and it was the guy who wrote fast food nation which was basically a book bashing fast food. And he didn't really get Glenn I think was the biggest problem. Yeah and he did it was really actually an interesting interview and you guys had and our thing was like we should do something funny while the interview
Starting point is 00:31:27 so not just a boring interview about food. So Glenn would see like oh man I'm really that's a really good point about fast food being bad for you. And then as he was talking, Glenn would dip his head out of the camera shot and take a giant bite of like a Big Mac. And he was like doing the minimum, like chewing and doing the... The guy couldn't see me.
Starting point is 00:31:45 No. We didn't know that though. We didn't know that. But I had like, I had like secret sauce all over my face and things. And I'll never forget, CNN went, we cannot have an anchor do anything like this. And we're like, yeah, not really a CNN anchor. And they edited the crap out of that.
Starting point is 00:32:01 I mean, that one, they were like, they were pissed. Well, and we thought he could see you. We were not trying to play a trick on the guy. That might be a little revisionist. No, I don't think it is. I think we thought he was going to play along with it and think it was funny. And then we realized he couldn't even see us. And then he thought we were just like screwing him over by messing up his segment.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Yeah. Which was unfortunate. Yeah. But on this stuff. Not for the audience. No, it was actually a funny thing for me. He did not like you afterwards, though. Which is something that's been repeated by many other guests since.
Starting point is 00:32:31 I think almost every other guest I think so. So in this documentary, which I believe was made in 2017, but I don't know if you remember, Morgan Spurlock had a little bit of a Me Too situation. So I think he made this and then didn't come out. So they've just released it to, I think, Amazon Prime.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Anyway, I like the movie, the first one. The second one, he decides to open up his own restaurant and a good chunk of the money is him getting all of these BS labels on his food. he's opening a chicken restaurant and he gets like it's like free range um uh organic like all the terms
Starting point is 00:33:08 you hear a natural um no antibiotics he goes through all of them and he's able to secure all of these labels even though it's not he doesn't no they all he he legitimately qualifies them they just don't mean anything oh a lot of them literally don't mean anything they there's no standards you could say it no matter what yeah the no antibiotics one was what my A restaurant friend always says. Yeah. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything.
Starting point is 00:33:34 It doesn't. And the no antibiotics one was really funny because I've heard that a million times. But literally none of the food that you eat has antibiotics. It's illegal. No one can use. There's no food no matter what level it's at in this genre. I think this was chicken. I raise cattle and we eat them and they're yummy.
Starting point is 00:33:56 And I tell the kids don't name them other than dinner. lunch or barbecue. And we don't put antibiotics in. You can put antibiotics. You shoot them, you know, inject them so they don't get sick. So that's when they say antibiotic free. It means you've raised that animal and never given it any antibiotics to keep it from getting sick. With the label, whatever, he went through the details of it with the expert from that, you know, that qualifies people.
Starting point is 00:34:28 And basically, and I can't remember the exact. Maybe it's different with cows. He was doing it with chickens. But the whole point was none of the food at any level has this thing in it. Yeah, because everyone could say it's anybody on free, but only the people who do who want to charge you twice as much. Because here's the thing. It would be like if you guys were going to eat me, okay, you couldn't.
Starting point is 00:34:52 No, I'd be told. You imagine how marbled I am. Okay. And I've barely, I'm like veal. I've barely ever worked out. walked upstairs or anything. I am delicious. I would be tender. I would be delicious.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Okay. There's so much maple syrup already in me. Anyway, uh, so I should probably, since we're going into a pandemic, probably say none of that is true about me. I'm very tough and you just grisly.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Grisly, it's nasty. Anyway, uh, uh, you know, you could, it would be like labeling me,
Starting point is 00:35:30 uh, or Pat, cocaine-free. Never, no cocaine in Pat. Well, okay, back in the 80s, I had cocaine. But if you would eat me, there would be no residue, no, there would be no cocaine in my meat. Yeah, okay. Okay. And so what they're saying is it's antibiotic-free, meaning he's like more like the cow is more like Pat being cocaine-free.
Starting point is 00:35:56 You can eat him. And that cow has never been in- never been in house or me. Has this analogy helping you at all? I don't know. Let me give you another one they did. Free range. So he goes to the, the, you know, whatever government thing that says you can say it's free range.
Starting point is 00:36:13 And the text of it is something like the chickens need to have access to the outside, outside area with a minimum of this amount of space. And it's a very small amount of space. so all the chickens are held inside, and there's one door at the end, and it has this little tiny fence that goes out like four feet outside the door. And it's the chicken, in theory, could walk out there. They never do, because they have no interest in going out there.
Starting point is 00:36:44 But that's considered free range. They can see the sky, and they're outside in this little time. At times, he tries to pick them up and put them out there, and they just run back inside. Wow. Wow, that's amazing. It's pretty, it's interesting to watch. I'm sure it's very slanted, but it's,
Starting point is 00:36:58 It also was, there's a lot of interesting stuff in there. All right. Pat Gray, thank you so much from Pat Gray on lease. You can get it wherever you find your podcast. I have this, an idea of a much, much shorter version of the movie Home Alone. Okay? Listen to this. I just wrote this myself. In the film, McCauley Culkin's dad installs simply safe before they leave.
Starting point is 00:37:18 And so the criminals either see that they have it and it's on and so they don't break in or when they do, the alarm goes off. And that's the end of the movie. Better for Macaulay, worse movie though. I don't know. Sitting through McCauley Culkin, you know, imagine. Now McCauley Culkin, how old is he? 50 playing a kid? Bad.

And Rick was the chief financial officer.
Starting point is 00:38:56 And they found each other on Tinder and they went out and they're like, oh, crap, we work in the same company. But that's not the only. problem. They have a 36 year difference in age. He is 58. She is 22. So they start, they're going to go out for lunch and say, we can't date because this is really bad. They decided not to date. And so they set up a platonic lunch to clear the air, four hours pass. And they realize, no, they're really in love. So he quits his job. Wow. And goes to work for another country. company so they can

Shavesecret.com. So since we're all going to be spending a lot of time at home, I think we should just, I think we should spend a few minutes and talk about what you can watch. And you can binge watch now. You know, Seattle yesterday suggested that 2.2 million people, the Seattle area, King County,
Starting point is 00:44:08 start working from home. we're putting in guidelines now for when we know we're all going to start working from from home because I think this is going to this is going to happen in many of our communities, if not all of our big cities. They're going to start asking you to start working from home if you can. And the reason why they're doing this is to save the health personnel, quite honestly. the fewer people that get this right now, the easier it's going to be. We're going to stress out the health system and our doctors and our nurses.
Starting point is 00:44:45 And if they start getting sick, if the ambulance drivers, the firefighter, the police all start getting sick, it's a bigger nightmare than it already is. So they're asking us to stay home, at least in the Seattle area, and it will start to come. CDC yesterday said we are on the verge of this thing, really. exploding in in America. So what are you going to do? What are you going to do? I mean, binge watch.
Starting point is 00:45:14 And I've been, I've been watching Harlan Corbyn. He's got three shows now on Netflix called The Five, The Stranger. And I remember the other, but they're like 13 episodes in each. They are the best. They're the best. mysteries or murder mystery kind of things I've ever seen. I've never seen storylines where Tanya, we just don't have time to watch series anymore because we have teenagers who never thank us for picking us, picking them up and dropping them off all the time. Anyway, yeah, the other one is safe.
Starting point is 00:45:59 There's three of them. Tanya and I in the last three or four weeks have watched every episode of all three. they are they're remarkably good and they all it's this each one of them revolve like i think it's um what are the names something again it's safe the five and and the stranger i started with the stranger it's this woman who comes up to this guy at his son's soccer game and says you know you didn't have to stay with your wife when she said she was pregnant and he's like excuse me do i know you and she's like, no, but, you know, she faked her pregnancy. And you can find all the information.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Just go into your credit card. Go into your credit card file and find this. So it freaks him out so much, and he dismisses it, and it freaks him out so much. His wife is out someplace at a conference, and it's just driving him nuts. So he's like, you know what, I'm just going to put this to bed. He goes in his credit card and he finds that she charged money to this one place, calls the credit card company and says, hey, what was this? It was a couple of years ago.
Starting point is 00:47:15 What was this for, said, we'll have to call you back. We have to do some research. That's a bogus name. The name was for three companies. One of them was a company that gives you, you know, the, what do you? call it the pregnancy strip test and it shows positive they give you a uh uh ultrasound picture of the baby with your name on top of it so it looks like you had an ultrasound they give you a baby bump belly that you can you can start to wear and and so he freaks out well as this goes on
Starting point is 00:47:55 she disappears in the first this is the first episode and he says you have to tell me did you fake the pregnant or my children my children even what is going on she said you don't understand stand. This is about so much more. She disappears unanswered. And so he starts to look for. Well, this story starts to involve all of their friends. And everybody is having a different problem kind of based on this stranger telling them different things. You have no idea really what the story really is until the last episode. And you're following it. And it's all. logical, but you're like, where is this going? The same thing with the five, which we just finished last night.
Starting point is 00:48:41 The five is five friends that grew up. One of them was kidnapped and killed while they were all out in the woods. The little one who was younger, they said, go home. And he ran through the woods to go home. And then he was never seen again. Well, now they're all grown up. And in the first episode, one of them is a police officer. they go to this murder scene and the DNA of that little kid,
Starting point is 00:49:08 25 years later, is found at the crime scene at this murder scene. And so you're like, wait, I thought he was dead. He apparently is not dead. And now he's killing this woman. What is happening?
Starting point is 00:49:22 And it takes you through all of the people and what was happening and how they're all involved. It's incredible. I mean, they're the best stories. for murder mysteries I've seen. Do they fall into my new favorite thing
Starting point is 00:49:38 they're doing with television, which is the limited series? Yeah, they're only one season. So one season, you watch it, you watch it the beginning, you watch all of them, and it's over. Yes. It ends.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Yes. And you don't have to worry about them canceling it before the story wraps up. And that's really frustrating, except when you realize, because I watched that first season, and we started with The Stranger, and watched the first season,
Starting point is 00:50:02 Oh my gosh, I would watch this all the time. You know, it's over and it's wrapped up. And you're like, okay, you can't go back to those people. But I would watch something like this. Well, he's done three of them, three different stories. And they are fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. That's great.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Have you been watching McMillians on HBO? Everybody's telling me to watch Mick Millions. It's so good. It's so good. It's a story I did not. I don't even remember. I remember playing the Monopoly game at McDonald's all the time. when it was out.
Starting point is 00:50:34 And, you know, the story basically is about how no one really won all those years legitimately. It was basically, you know, an inside guy stealing the winning tickets and like organizing a giant web of contestants that would go into McDonald's and say, I won the million dollars. And they were just keeping all the money. And they go through all of it from beginning to end, how it unravels. And, I mean, it is, you know, there's organized crime times. There's like Mormon mafia. There is a Moran mafia. It's wild.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Oh, they're really a mafia. Yeah. But it's the worst thing I've ever seen a Mormon do. Previously, it was too much milk at dinner. So it was... That gets ugly. It cleared it pretty easily. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:21 So that one is really good. There's a new season of Ozark coming out, which is... I haven't watched that. Super dark. Super dark, but so good. so good. And better Carl Salazar as well, too, which is fantastic. If you don't, I mean, it's the same type of profile, a little dark.
Starting point is 00:51:41 I mean, you got to understand, coming in here and working with Glenn every day is so much rays of sunshine. You have to go home and watch something dark just to even yourself out. You're like, oh, man, I'm too happy. I'm too happy. It's funny. I've heard that is contagion and outbreak? The two movies about pandemics that have come out the last, what, 15 or 20 years,
Starting point is 00:52:00 both of them have been like trending on Netflix and Amazon Prime and everything. Like you're in the middle of that movie. Why are you watching it? You don't need to watch it. It's happening to you. I know. So I'm watching also The Outlander. Have you seen that?
Starting point is 00:52:15 No. So boy, you want to appreciate America and you want to appreciate, you know, the time that you live in. This is a story that starts in the 1940s. And this woman is in Scotland. with her husband. The war is just over. They're kind of having a second honeymoon. He's kind of this, you know, quasi-historian.
Starting point is 00:52:38 And they go and he's looking for his roots, his English roots in Scotland because, you know, he was, he had English warriors in his blood in Scotland. And so they're there. And long story short, she passes through this. I know this sounds really bad. Okay. but she passes through this this time portal okay and she goes back into the time when the english and the scottish were and she's trying to find her way back to present day is this quantum leap no it's kind of that's the only time thing that has happened i've only watched a few
Starting point is 00:53:14 episodes but it's the only time thing that happens just getting her there and her trying to find her way back but it's uh it's amazing to watch it because of the history of it and you realize Well, we've come a long way. Yeah. We've come a long way. She happened to be in the war. She was a nurse where she did a lot of stuff. So in the first scene where she's coming back, one of the guys has a shoulder that's dislocated.
Starting point is 00:53:43 And all these guys are going to like, we're going to put it back in here, bite down on this. And she's like, stop. Stop. You'll break his arm. And she does it. And they'll look at her like, how did you just do that? and there's questions on whether or not she's a witch or what she is because she just knows basic modern medicine.
Starting point is 00:54:02 It's really kind of an interesting thing. I had Jonah Goldberg on Stu Does America a couple days ago, well, I guess a week or two ago. And we were talking about his book, Suicide of the West, which is a great, great book. And he made the point, which was if you kind of had a wish, right? You're coming into the world and you get to pick. where you live and when you live,
Starting point is 00:54:27 any time is possible, any place is possible, you'd be insane not to pick the United States in 2020. Oh yeah, insane. Which is like incredible when you think about how miserable we are. Like really, we complain about everything, but where else would you go? Maybe you'd pick another country in 2020,
Starting point is 00:54:48 but like you're not going back to 1940. What other country? I certainly have no other on that. But maybe, I don't know, maybe. I don't know, maybe you love Europe or something, but you want to go there? I don't know. I want to stay here.
Starting point is 00:55:00 It's really fascinating. By the way, you don't need to use up one of your wishes to go live in Germany. Get on a plane. Yeah, you can actually do that one. That's easy. Yeah. But you can't go back in time unless you have a flux capacitor. Right.
Starting point is 00:55:12 And I don't. But if you could, would you? No. You know, Doc Brown's an idiot for going back to the Old West. It sucked. He should have stayed in 1985. That was the best option he had with the exception of the future. future, which probably would have been better too.
Starting point is 00:55:26 You know, if you could go, if you had a time machine, I would only go to the future. I mean, maybe you go back to watch a historic event for a half an hour. Yeah, I stay in the time machine. I don't get out of the time machine at any point. Do I leave the time machine under bushes? You're doing a drive-through? Yeah. You're like a drive-through time.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Oh, yeah. I'm not getting out. Are you getting out? That never works out well. You put the time machine under, you know, a big tarp or you throw some bushes on it. That never works out for you. don't leave the time machine. And I've had cars, and I actually have one now,
Starting point is 00:55:58 that you get nervous when you turn it off. The car does not turn back on most of the time. You have an M.G. That's what you're talking about, isn't it? I love that car. And most of the time I get a couple up to a light. I'm like, I might not go. It may just stop you.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Right. So if you've got the DeLorean on the time machine, you need to get it to 88 miles an hour. You leave the car running. It's a DeLorean. No, you don't because it will overheat. I had one. That's right.
Starting point is 00:56:22 You get into that thing and you're going, you're going to any other place than your driveway. You're not sure it'll ever get up to 88 miles an hour again. Don't build a time machine in a DeLorean. And if you do build a time machine, never leave it alone. Never get out of it until you're safely back in your time. How many movies do we need to teach us this? All right. If you like saving money.

Starting point is 00:59:38 They did a good job. Family or is it, is it, is it? Oh, no. Well, I mean, I don't know. I guess you could. Did you see? Did you see? It was a little, David, certainly much older than my kids.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Did you see the cameo with Kevin Bacon? Small little part, Kevin Bacon. You know, he played the invisible man. You didn't. Yeah, but I remember that from back in the day. Did you see the cameo? No. You've got to go back and watch it.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Oh, it's theaters. I'm not going to go buy another ticket to watch. I can't Kevin Bacon. If you haven't gone, go look and the cameo. It's like an Easter egg. When you find the cameo of Kevin Bacon, it makes it a lot cooler. I haven't seen the movie, but. Well, how do you know it's a lot cooler then?
Starting point is 01:00:14 What if it ruins it for me? What if I'm like, I mean, I think I'm in the real world and all of a sudden Kevin Bacon ruined it. I hate you. Don't you like little Easter eggs and things? Yes, I do. Yeah, okay. So then it makes it better, doesn't it?
Starting point is 01:00:24 Thank you. Except Kevin Bacon related Easter eggs. What's better than eggs and bacon? Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, I got those all day long. Yeah, I'm a dad. Anyway, have you seen Shariot on Netflix? I have not seen Shariot.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Okay. There's too many shows on Netflix. No, there's not. I could cycle through for six months and probably not even come across Shariot. What is it? Shariot is the name of the hospital in Germany that is the one that was the progressive hospital and there's two seasons of it. The first season in America is actually about World War II because they know Americans are fascinated by Nazis, I think. But the first
Starting point is 01:01:09 episode that you should watch them in reverse starts in the 1880s and it's during the progressive era when they're they're trying to cure tuberculosis and everything else. And it takes place in this hospital. And it is the turning point of medicine and they're just starting to say hey maybe we should wash our hands and these invisible germs and everything else and so the first season is in the 1880s and it shows and it's all based in reality and true stories of what they did back then to discover the cures for tuberculosis and smallpox and everything else it's terrifying when you see what medicine was like back then and you see the beginnings of progressivism and collectivism in that hospital, then the next season is World War II with the experiments in this hospital. Oh my gosh, it is so eye-opening and a total different look at the progressive era and national socialism, Cherit on Netflix.
Starting point is 01:02:18 You're listening to Glenn Beck. We are seeing now the lowest mortgage rates in modern economic history. Let me say that again. We are seeing some of the lowest interest rates in modern economic history right now. Now, that can mean a lot of things. If you are going to buy a home, you can buy a much bigger home, maybe the home of your dreams. Please don't over leverage yourself. But you can build, you can buy a bigger home and the one that you really want for the
Starting point is 01:02:56 same amount of money that you would have been paying for your mortgage if you bought a lesser home just a few years ago because mortgage rates are so low. If you have a credit card, now is the time to consolidate that debt and get out from underneath that. Some of these credit cards have 21% interest rates. You change that to a 3% interest rate.

Starting point is 01:03:37 Check out Friday's big story on the coronavirus tonight at Blaze TV. Subscribers only, blazTV.com. The promo code is Gb20. This is a Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. It is Friday. Bill O'Reilly has the week off, so he's not going to be joining us today. Normally he's here with us this hour.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Bernie Sanders says he's going to drop out if Joe Biker. has more delegates by the convention, even if he doesn't have the majority. He said he doesn't want super delegates deciding. You find that weird? A little bit. It's one of those things, I think, when that happens, there's a good chance he forgets he said that.
Starting point is 01:04:18 But right now it's the right thing to say. Right. Because he just was on record when he thought he was leading, saying a plurality should get the nomination. Looks like, it looks like Bernie Sanders is, getting his head handed to him in Florida. Joe Biden is, what was it, 65%?
Starting point is 01:04:39 61 to 12. To 12. And that includes Michael Bloomberg still in the poll. And Bloomberg was actually in second with 14%. So 61, 14 to 12. They think that maybe because of the Cuban nationals that moved out of Cuba, got out of Cuba in Castro, that that has played such a huge role in Florida. that word kind of spread because of the Cuban community going,
Starting point is 01:05:04 no, Castro's not cool. Yeah. That it really tipped things against Sanders. It's so interesting how the media works because if Bernie Sanders were the nominee and have said that thing about Cuba, they would have been like, look, Barack Obama did the same thing. Obama Vig he visited there. But they want him out. Yep.
Starting point is 01:05:25 And so they treat it that way until he's a nominee. if he were the nominee, they treated a totally different way. What's crazy is this, we all know that as conservatives, we all know this. But liberals generally don't notice it because it doesn't happen to them generally speaking. Yes. You know what I mean? And when you're living under that kind of stuff all the time, you notice it. And it's gotten to a point to where it's so bad, you dismiss it.
Starting point is 01:05:52 That's why I really don't think that any of this coronavirus stuff is going to touch Donald Trump. I don't think it's going to hurt Donald Trump at all because I think people know the media and they know this is just, they will say anything about Donald Trump to kill him. They will say anything. Did you see this thing with him? Donald Trump said he had a hunch, a hunch that the coronavirus mortality rate wasn't going to wind up at 3.4%. You believe this irresponsible guy out there saying he's got hunches on diseases. What about some experts? Get some experts around. You maybe talk to them about it. Instead of just guessing, he's just taking blatant guesses.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Now, this is the actual clip. It was Trump on with Hannity on Fox News Channel. Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number. Now, this is just my hunch. But based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this, and it's very mild. They'll get better very rapidly. They don't even see a doctor.
Starting point is 01:06:55 They don't even call a doctor. You never hear about those people. So this is what the media came up with off of that clip. Vox called it astoundingly irresponsible. Your favorite, Glenn, Brian Stelter over at CNN. Please don't walk out in the middle of this quote, but he said, I hate that guy. I mean, he is almost Woodrow Wilson to me. He really is.
Starting point is 01:07:19 He never walked out of an interview with Woodrow Wilson. I didn't. I didn't. Brian said, I hesitate to even print the United States president's words here because they're so at odds. with what health experts are saying. This is, that is bright. That's why he's Woodrow Wilson. He is such a propaganda, disinformation, misinformation, misinformation machine.
Starting point is 01:07:39 He doesn't have any. I mean, how bad does something have to be that you hesitate to even type it? Like, I don't know what the end word, right? Like, we don't type the N word, right? We would write the N word or we'd say the end word instead of saying the actual word. We have actually put books together where we've had to use, we've had to quote somebody, you know, David Duke, using the N-word, and we'll look at each other and go, it is an exact quote, but I don't think we should put that in as, you know,
Starting point is 01:08:06 other than the N-word, or let's use the N and the R and then just asterisk in between, you know. He's comparing it to that. That's how bad that quote. MSNBC said the sitting president of the United States told a national television audience not to believe the research of the World Health Organization's experts. Is that what you got out of that? well, Philip Bump from the Washington Post said that Trump, quote, twice admits that he's simply making up the percentage he's talking about, calling it a hunch and saying that it is his
Starting point is 01:08:38 personal assessment. Now, he said, now, most of that is not in quotes. The word hunch is in quotes and the word personal is in quotes. Because why? Because right after he says it's a punch, he says it's based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people who do this. In other words, he's getting brief from experts and he's trying to communicate that to the American people. And I have to- I have to tell you, I read the experts every day. We do a coronavirus update every day.
Starting point is 01:09:12 That is exactly what all of the experts are saying. Right. All of them. Part of this is, I think, you know, the way that they, that the way, you know, he speaks. You know, like Donald Trump kind of says stuff, and it doesn't sound, it doesn't sound all of that,
Starting point is 01:09:30 all that. Here, here, let me give you an example. Play that clip again that you just played. Listen to this. Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number. Now, this is just my hunch.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Stop. I think that number is just a false number. People, if you're on the left, they'll hear, oh, fake news. He's saying this is fake news. They're lying. Okay, that's not what he's saying. but that's what they're hearing next played again just my hunch and but based on a lot of conversations
Starting point is 01:09:57 okay stop it's just my hunch based on a lot of conversations that's don't don't Trump you hear if you don't like Donald Trump you hear you know I got all the best people around me I get all the best advice I get all the and at times he doesn't at times he doesn't Michael Cohen was not the best lawyer right and he's got he just uses hyperbole all the time yeah so you What they've done is they've taken their brain and just put it into neutral. They're just listening and they're like, oh, that's him going off again, talking to the best people. No, in this particular case, he is talking to the best people. In this particular case, he does know what he's talking about.
Starting point is 01:10:40 He is getting advice. It's not hyperbole. He is talking about actual stats. And when he says it's his hunch, that's really what all of the professionals are saying. saying too. Yeah, I did a translation of Trump to doctor. Because if it's a doctor saying you totally would believe it. But Trump is, you know, he talks like the every, every man. Here's the translation. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of the reported cases, the case
Starting point is 01:11:10 fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. That's exactly what Donald Trump said, except fancy. It's also an exact quote from the New England Journal of Medicine. That's I bet that and I got new for you. I hesitate to type these words. It's like legitimately a paraphrase of the New England Journal of Medicine. There was also a study from, I know you subscribe to this, but just so other people don't know. I'm a doctor. I'm a doctor.
Starting point is 01:11:39 The MRC Center for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London. Right. They said, quote, their study said estimates of the overall case fatality ratio of all infections is approximately 1%. you go on and say South Korea who's done a good job handling this so far and they have a very advanced health system blah blah blah blah so far they're reporting a death mortality rate
Starting point is 01:12:03 of 0.6%. The princess the diamond princess or the floating petri dish of the sea was with this the memory of the ship that was docked off the sea they had 707 people who got COVID-19 but with this one we know is isolated right we know everyone on there
Starting point is 01:12:21 We know what happened there. 77 people, six people died. So the mortality rate there was 0.8%. Now, of course, when you're talking about a cruise ship audience, you're not talking the spectrum of all people. You're talking generally an older audience with likely a higher death rate than what would normally be done. And remember, a lot of people mention the 0.1% mortality rate from the flu, which is true.
Starting point is 01:12:47 However, it's true in an environment where 50% of the population. population vaccinates against it. And we have four approved treatments for the flu. We have no treatment for this. And a lot of people get the flu and just don't do anything about it. It's the flu. Yeah. So the bottom line with that is over time, we're going to have the test.
Starting point is 01:13:07 You know, your two will have the vaccine. It really is a now thing. If we can get through the next year, we're going to do a lot better. Here's the thing. Here's the thing you have to remember. The media is going to whip up frenzy that this is worse and worse and worse and worse and worse because we're now going to start testing everybody and not even everybody but we're going to be doing you know a million tests probably in the next i don't even know
Starting point is 01:13:33 four weeks yeah we're getting a million tests they're supposed to be done by next week okay so a million tests we had 440 people that had been tested total two weeks ago so now we're going to start testing everybody in the general population that comes in and not everybody's even going to get a test You come in, they really think you have it, you'll get a test. So you're going to start seeing these numbers increase. Well, that's a good thing because as the numbers increase, because we're testing people, we're now verifying that, yep, you have it, you have it, you have it. Those numbers are going to explode.
Starting point is 01:14:10 But it will bring the overall death rate down exactly what the president is talking about. It'll feel really scary, but it actually will be a good thing. It'll be a good thing. Because we'll be discovering these cases as we go. And nobody in the press is going to do this because of for two reasons. One, they need fear to get you to watch. Okay. Scandal doesn't work anymore.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Anti-Trump stuff doesn't work anymore. Everybody's tired of the press. So they need something to scare you with. Look, there are reasons to be worried about the coronavirus. There are real problems. Most of them economic. and all of us could lose somebody that we love in our circle of friends with this, just like we lose people that we love with the flu.
Starting point is 01:14:59 It just is going to double that number of the flu eventually. So if we lose 65,000 Americans every year with the flu, we're going to lose 130 Americans, 130,000 Americans eventually between the flu and this. That's probably where this is going to end up. That's a lot of people, and we're going to be affected by that. The real thing that they're not covering, and they're not covering because they need to make this about Donald Trump, so they're not covering what is going to happen with our economy and how do we brace for that? If you're listening to anyone who's just telling you the problems and not telling you how to brace for impact, they are of no good. They are of no good.
Starting point is 01:15:45 They are part of the problem. and Brian Stelter, you are a worthless worm. Don't know. Worthless worm. By the way, Stu DoesAmerica.com has all the links.

Egyptian cotton is no longer really Egyptian. Here in America, they made some kind of deal where they could call it Egyptian cotton, where it's a blend of different cottons and Egyptian.

Starting point is 01:18:08 Yeah. So 538.com, they do these election predictions. And they turn off their model on a big election day, like Super Tuesday. In the morning, they turn it off. And then they don't turn it back on until after the elections. Things are settled down. So they're not trying to implement things on an ongoing basis. They're trying to make a projection beforehand.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Anyway, their current projection Before this, it was, I think, a 60% chance there was going to be a contested convention. Correct. And then behind that was, I think Biden and Sanders, I think Biden had pulled ahead of Sanders slightly, but it was still pretty close for the secondary possibilities.
Starting point is 01:18:44 Their new update just came out. Joe Biden has an 88% chance to get... Hang on, hang on, hang on, just a second. We're talking about Joe Biden. I have a new Joe Biden theme. Can we... Here's the new... Joe Biden theme.
Starting point is 01:19:04 He's trying to make his way to the podium here, and that's not looking great. The new Joe Biden theme for the program. This fits Joe. It's Joe well. His speaking patterns. I'm working with a composer now for some new themes and stuff. And I said, I need you to do happy days or here again or something like that. but I want you to do it and can you make it sound like it's done by somebody who just can't remember how it goes.
Starting point is 01:19:39 And he sent this back to me. I'm like, that's Joe Biden's theme. That's absolutely Joe Biden's theme. So anyway, Joe Biden, his numbers now, he's back on top at 538 in a stunning way. 88% chance now to win a majority of delegates that leaves a contested convention at 10%. and Bernie Sanders at 2%. That's how bad. I mean, we said this when we were on the air.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Before we went on the air, Virginia came across. I was, we were, Glenn and I were the only one standing in the studio at the time. And I said, Glenn, look at this. Like, they just called Virginia at the close of the polls. That is not supposed to happen. The day was so good for Biden. He's now way out ahead when it comes to a plurality of delegates, a 94% chance for Biden's 6% chance for Sanders.
Starting point is 01:20:26 And Chelsea Gabbard's in third place. Well, the Marine. Green band better brush up because hail to the, what's this? Hail to the something, but we've got to play that. Coming up soon, apparently for Joe Biden. All right, back in a minute. You're listening to Glenn. Hello, America.
Starting point is 01:21:04 It's Friday. We're glad you hear our coronavirus update begins in one minute. Yes, is the Glenn Beck program. Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there's a man standing at the open grave of a bygone era, casting his gaze, not at the death of an ideal, but at the death of a place in time. The old days, some people call them fondly. He thinks of them often.
Starting point is 01:21:26 They're gone now, but the ideal remains. It burns within him and spills light into all that he touches. It's that spirit of something that was lasting, that was true. You know, we all like our toilets. We like having modern conveniences and air conditioning, but there's something. that has been lost in America, and it's that spirit of the cowboy, a filter of integrity, which has always been there in America, and will come back in fashion again. It's part of him.
Starting point is 01:21:59 It's in the light in his eyes all the way down on the pair of Toccova's boots that he wears on his feet. He knows, as I know, Tachovas, when you buy a pair of Tachovus boots, you're buying a statement of integrity, not that you're about statements, but there is something that reminds you, when you slip them on in the morning, when you're standing around a bunch of numskills that are talking nonsense, there's something when you look down at your feet and you see that those people who made that cowboy boot with 200 steps handmade, and yet you paid less than half of what the other numskulls might have paid
Starting point is 01:22:36 because they've got this name boot that, oh my gosh, and I got it at the greatest store ever. That's not common sense. That's not integrity. The integrity is the handmade portions and the best finest leathers. That's where the integrity of these boots come in. Not in the price. Because the price is half of what all the other dopes paid for on a boot that is handmade like this one.
Starting point is 01:23:01 Why? Because they cut out the middleman. They go right from the people who make it, right to the person who has that frontier still in their soul. To Kovas Boots. Find your pair now. Western goods for your front. Frontiers are found at Tocovus.com slash back. That's T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash back.
Starting point is 01:23:21 Tocovus.com slash back. All right, let's take a look at the daily stats. All of these stats are as of 5.30 a.m. from Johns Hopkins total confirmed dates. We're now over a 100,000, the confirmed cases that's up about 5,000 from yesterday. Total confirmed deaths. are up about a hundred from yesterday to 3,408. Just so you know, before we did anything with a swine flu, there were a thousand deaths in America, a thousand deaths in America.
Starting point is 01:24:03 There are now 55,812 patients who have recovered from COVID-19. That's about half. Doctors point out the recoveries are outpacing hospitalization or deaths. 94 countries have confirmed cases. That is up from 87 and 11 more today have suspected cases. 16% of active cases are considered serious. Have you noticed this number is coming down? It was just at the beginning of last week, I think 19%.
Starting point is 01:24:31 It's now down 3 points. 16% are considered serious requiring hospitalization. That is including 5% that require ICU. The U.S. now has 233,000. three confirmed cases, 14 deaths. The confirmed cases now in Washington, Oregon, find your state, California, Arizona, Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, Tennessee, Nevada, with additional suspected cases in Montana, Nebraska, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. now some other news that you need to know about this we have the EPA releasing a list of disinfectants to use against the coronavirus so if you're looking to disinfect you should look to the the EPA list of disinfectants that you can use chlorox multi-surface cleaner and bleach,
Starting point is 01:25:41 Clorox disinfecting wipes, Clorox commercial solutions, Lysol brand, heavy-duty cleaner, disinfectant. There's all kinds of Pirel, Santa Prime, germicidal spray. The CDC and FDA has made this now available in case you are looking for those things, but it's all just common sense.
Starting point is 01:26:01 Unlike what Tito's has had to come out and say, Tito's vodka based in Texas, has responded on Twitter that, no, their vodka is not a sufficient disinfectant against COVID-19. Twitter user wrote in and said, I made hand sanitizer out of your vodka. Hand sanitizer doesn't taste bad either. Cheers to Tito's. They responded immediately. Per the CDC, hand sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Although ours is delicious, it's only 40% alcohol. therefore it doesn't meet the standards of the CDC. Despite the company's tweet, more than a dozen Tito's vodka sanitizer recipes are currently circulating online. I wonder if this isn't just a brilliant marketing campaign. Also, there is another rush. We've heard about toilet paper flying off the shelves and other things that now have, you know, kind of a black market field.
Starting point is 01:27:07 to them alongside those coronavirus prep bags being filled by shoppers bleach hand sanitizer are now add to it twinkies and ding-dongs hostess brand the CEO said that they're seeing a bump in business as people are stocking up in case they are trapped at home during the coronavirus outbreak we are benefiting likely for a short-term due traffic. And that's the great thing about hostess. There are comfort things. So seeing a slight uptick in traffic too early to tell, but a lot of our sales data is lagging,
Starting point is 01:27:49 but we think that this is just people storing up for a comfort food. The average Twinkie and Ding Dong package sold today will last you, not as long as food storage, but it will go to 2024. By the way, I opened up the vault yesterday because we saved Twinkies, you know, when they stopped making Twinkies? When was that? Stu, do you know? A couple years ago, right?
Starting point is 01:28:11 But they're back now. Yeah. They didn't last very well. I put them in a vault just so we had them as a joke. And yesterday I was kind of cleaning out some of the stuff in the vault. And I found the Twinkies in the back of the vault. I wouldn't eat them. So wait, because everyone used to say, I'm not going to eat those things.
Starting point is 01:28:29 They'll last for 40 years. No. And now they don't last for 40 years. And that's another reason why you won't eat them? Maybe you just don't like Twinkies. That's true. I don't like Twinkies. But the ding-dongs, I love hostess ding-dongs.
Starting point is 01:28:43 Yeah, they didn't weather the years very well either. Hundreds of concerts and events have gone offline now. Trade shows, concerts, events been canceled due to the coronavirus fears. In the U.S., more than 41,000 people have signed an online petitioned calling for the cancellation of South by Southwest. That is a 10-day tech and music concert that normally draws about 400,000 visitors to Austin, Texas. People are saying, please don't come. Please don't come.
Starting point is 01:29:11 The Global Health Conference, where Donald Trump was scheduled to speak, it is the first cancellation in the event's 58-year history. The Global Health Conference, that has been canceled. American Bar Association canceled its national conference on white-collar crime. Natural Products Expo is canceled in Anaheim, 32nd annual Arnold Schwarzenegger annual sports festival in Columbus, Ohio. No. Could I just go back and read that again? Sure. The 32nd annual Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival in Columbus.
Starting point is 01:29:53 Did you know that he had a sports festival? I did not. In Columbus? and it ran for 32 years? No idea. In our don't be a tool category, New Zealand residents who had a fever and had symptoms attended a live tool concert on February 28th.
Starting point is 01:30:16 The packed rock concert was packed with thousands of other people and health authorities are now using security cameras to identify who he may have come in contact with. He was in the general emissions. standing area from the left hand quadrant they say he stood in line for refreshments he used the rest room don't worry if you're in new zealand if you were there and had any refreshments were in the stadium or use the bathroom you might be infected um a man in a forties in slovakia confirmed now with covid 19 no international travel son doesn't live with him who had traveled to
Starting point is 01:30:56 Venice and Italy in January. Two additional suspected cases now in Slovakia have no known exposure in the international travel. They don't know how it got there. China's economy is losing $20 billion every day. Migrant workers and contractors are the worst impacted, could lose a combined $115 billion by April 2020. Total economic loss in China mount. They could exceed $1 trillion dollars in lost income among Chinese households. Let me say that again. Not in the businesses, but in the households. It could exceed $1 trillion in lost income.
Starting point is 01:31:41 This is the real threat of the coronavirus. Bank of China has made $200 billion available for Chinese small businesses. Bank of China also purchased $100 billion in Chinese stocks and bonds. The Chinese stock market has gained 9%. far in March, much of that is printed money by the Chinese. But I will tell you, when this, we finally hit the bottom on this, nobody can predict the top, nobody can see the bottom. But I will tell you that once we find a vaccine, which will happen, once we find the vaccine, and once we know that a socialist, Marxist, is not going to win in the election, you should have
Starting point is 01:32:24 your money in the stock market because the stock market will boom once we get past all of this. It's down again another 535 points at this point. It is down to 25. That Dow is 25,595 currently. That's down from about almost 30,000 just a few weeks ago. So we're down 5,000 points. But I would imagine that our stock market is going to rebound. The great news is, is on this politically is we were due for a correction. And if it wasn't for the coronavirus, when that correction happened, the press would immediately say Donald Trump's, Donald Trump's economy is falling apart. Not one of them would have said, hey, by the way, it looks like Barack Obama's economy
Starting point is 01:33:12 is really kind of falling apart. Because remember, this is Barack Obama's economic policies that brought us here in the good times, nobody would have blamed the bad times on Barack Obama. But if Barack Obama were in office, if the exact same thing happened, he would still be blaming it on George W. Bush. Your corona virus update happens every day at this time.

Okay, so Stu, I've got something for you to, I've got something for you to listen to and you tell me what's going on. Okay. This is circling the internet right now and nobody is pushing back on this. We will now have some breaking news on this.
Starting point is 01:35:47 This is a nurse and she says the CDC would not test her. She is a union leader. She released a video Thursday afternoon where she read out that she was working. Well, let me just play it for you. Here she is. Listen. I'm going to read a statement from one of our quarantine nurses who works at a Northern California Kaiser facility. She chose to share her experience anonymously, but she is hoping that her story can be elevated to raise public awareness about concerns for the coronavirus risk.
Starting point is 01:36:25 She said, as a nurse, I'm very concerned that not enough is being done to stop the spread of the coronavirus. I know because I am currently sick in quarantine after caring for a patient who tested positive. I am awaiting permission from the federal government to allow for my testing even after my physician and county health professional ordered the test. the national CDC would not initiate the test. They said they would not test me because if I were wearing the recommended protective equipment, then I wouldn't have the coronavirus. What kind of science-based answer is that?
Starting point is 01:37:13 What a ridiculous and uneducated response from the department that is in charge of the health of this country? Later, they called back, and now it's a, an issue with something called the identifier number. They claim they prioritize running samples by illness severity and that there are only so many to give out each day. So I have to wait in line for the results. This is not a ticket dispenser at the deli counter. It's a public health emergency. I'm a registered nurse and I need to know if I'm positive before going back to care for patients. Right.
Starting point is 01:37:53 I'm appalled at the level of bureaucracy that's preventing nurses from getting tested. Delaying this test puts the whole community at risk. Okay, stop. What do you think's going on there, Stu? What do you think's happening? I mean, there's not enough information for me to really know, but... Well, it's weird, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:13 Yeah, go ahead. My guess would be that we, and this is pretty well publicized, we don't have enough tests for people to to utilize yet. So if you go in today to hospital and you say, I'm pretty sure I have the coronavirus, I don't feel well, what is the doctor going to do with you?
Starting point is 01:38:33 Probably isolate me or tell me to go home and self-quarantine. Correct. Why? Because they don't have tests yet. Right. We don't have enough tests. They've ramped up production. They believe they'll have over a million by next week. Yeah, but that's a million for the entire country. Right. So it's best until we get.
Starting point is 01:38:50 that going to just isolate people and only use those tests on the people who are showing real symptoms so we can get them in. You don't have at this point, we don't have the tests. This is, by the way, socialist health care. This is what it's like. When you don't have enough, you have to ration. And so not everyone gets to the deli calendar to ask for their meat when they want their meat. Okay.
Starting point is 01:39:17 Now this is a union worker. She said that she wants to know if she is sick and has it. And she calls the government basically science deniers, uneducated, and why should I have to wait in line? Well, sweetheart, if I may use that. I understand your personal concern. But if you're somebody who's in a union and had been somebody who's been supporting socialized health care, That's what this is all about. A line.
Starting point is 01:39:51 And you know why there's a line? Because right now, only the government has been making these. Donald Trump and Mike Pence and his team are trying to get all of the capitalist companies to make more of these tests. So you could buy them at CVS, just drop it in and you'd be able to get that test done. And you'd know right away. Until that time, the government has. has full control. And yes, we don't have tests to test everybody who thinks they might have it.
Starting point is 01:40:24 By the way, we reached out to the CDC yesterday. Here's what they said. CDC is not aware of this individual case. We cannot respond to its specifics. However, the CDC would most definitely recommend a health care worker who had contact with a confirmed case and then become ill be tested. At all times, clinicians have. discretion to test patients based on their individual assessment of that patient's illness and risk of exposure. Our clinical team is working with state and local health officials to assess persons under investigation and has not said no to any such request for testing.
Starting point is 01:41:06 I'm telling you right now, you be careful who you're listening to. You have to really be careful and question everyone's most. motives. And I urge you to question even mine. I'm telling you that I'm coming with no motive other than to tell you the truth as I understand it and give you perspective. But you shouldn't take my word or anybody else's word for true on any of this. You must do your own homework. You have to think these things true. Think these things through. Is this possible? Yes. But the most logical thing is there are no kits. There's not enough. You think you have it?
Starting point is 01:41:50 I'm sorry, I can't give it to you. I think you have it. We have people waiting for the tests who could get medicine right now as soon as we get a test back confirming that they have COVID-19. You're not the priority right now. That's the world of socialized medicine union leaders, union lovers. Welcome to it. You can't trust you either because you have big investments with big virus. You want this to get much worse.
Starting point is 01:42:19 I have what? I think of, I... Well, we all wish the mirror was lying to us. I know I hate, I hate mirrors. I stay away from them like I'm a vampire. But when you look in it, you see things that for sure... Exactly what a vampire would say. I was saying, well, that's true.
Starting point is 01:42:36 You see things that you don't like sometimes. Sometimes there's things like crow's feet. There was maybe a little turkey neck going on under the chin. What can you do about it? Thanks for the gobble sound effect. That was really helpful. I don't know about you, but you want to get instant. results, that's a big deal.

All right, check out Friday's big story with me tonight, the coronavirus, all the things you need to know. The big story of the week, Blaze TV subscribers only 5 p.m. Eastern blazTV.com slash Glenn. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Friday. Now, let me just go over, let me just go over this thinking. Stu, what are they saying the worst thing you can do for coronavirus?
Starting point is 01:43:59 What is the worst thing you can do right now? Eat Chinese food and have a Corona beer? No. No. No. I mean, you know, lick doorknobs would be bad. That would be bad. But what are they telling everybody you really got to do?
Starting point is 01:44:12 Keep your, don't touch your face. Don't touch your face. Stay away from people. CDC yesterday said, you know, keep a distance. people. Three to five feet. Social distancing. Social distancing.
Starting point is 01:44:22 That's weird. Have you ever heard of that before? No, but I really like it. Yeah, do you? Yeah, I think it's a great idea. We should do it anyway, whether there's a virus or not. Stay away from me. Well, I don't know anybody.
Starting point is 01:44:31 Wait. What? I'm just saying, generally speaking, don't need to be near you. You don't need to be near me either. We don't need to be in close contact. Let's call. What is close contact for you? I just want to know.
Starting point is 01:44:45 Well, I mean, I like a bigger table between us. Is that what you're asking? We're about seven feet apart from each other right now. No, I mean, like, do you like close talkers? I'm not a big close talkers. I don't like close talk. I don't like anybody who's right up in my face. Yeah, like there's a certain amount of people that I like being in my personal space.
Starting point is 01:45:01 It's limited. Yeah. It's very limited. If you're talking about five feet. That's just about where we are now. We're about six or seven feet. Six or seven. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:11 I'm fine with this. That's a weird. Do you need to be closer to me than this? No, not on their workspace and not you. But I mean, if we're in the whole. hallway, we're a lot closer than this. When we're talking, walking down the hallway, we're not seven feet apart from each other. It's true. We're more like two or three feet. It would be a little weird to have a private conversation at this distance. Hey, Stu, it just doesn't work. So it's a new
Starting point is 01:45:33 space that they want. The worst thing you can do, right? Go to a concert. Go with a crowd. Go to a movie theater. Not supposed to do any of that. Yeah, they're canceling sporting event, crowds, everything. Right. Here's the London mayor, um, mayor, uh, mayor, uh, mayor con. Uh, he was challenged by a, well, I'll tell you in a second. He was challenged for his risk, uh, for his statement that, quote, there is no risk of catching the deadly coronavirus by, uh, packing one of the cities, trains, subways or buses. No risk, really? I'm quoting. It's in very, it's very important.
Starting point is 01:46:10 We don't spread panic or alarm based on misinformation. There is no risk in using the tube. or buses or other forms of public transportation. He went on to note that 5 million people are on the London subways every day and 6 million on the buses. He said there's no risk of jamming alongside between 520,000 people at a concert. Excuse me? That does not seem possible. It's not, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:46:49 Of course there's a risk there. Of course there's a risk. Why is everybody shutting their, you know, companies down and having everybody work at home? Now, certainly there might be over, there might be, that might be too far a step at this point. In theory, obviously, you know, we're still coming in here. A lot, most businesses are in certain areas, though, they're not, they're having people work from home. You go on to, I mean, I, I mastered the ability to ride the New York Subways without touching anything. And it takes work.
Starting point is 01:47:18 Remember? Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I could master all of the doors, everything, without touching anything, just using my elbows. And you can do it. It takes work, but you can do it. But I would not get onto a subway today.
Starting point is 01:47:34 Would you with this going on? Would I get on to a subway? I mean, I probably would. Really? You know, but I'd walk if I could. I didn't. I wouldn't want to get into a cab or anything. anything else. Look, let's be honest about it. The subway is always the last resort, is it not.
Starting point is 01:47:50 Yeah, no, but I mean, the only reason I would ever get into a subway anyway is because there was some horrific traffic backup that I needed it. You know, just to ride it every day. Yeah, I know, and then I stopped doing it. What do you think I live in Texas for? Yeah. You don't have to do things like that. But no, I mean, ideally I'd like to, I, the subway's not a pleasant experience. No. But I generally, but I mean, is a cab better with different people getting in and out of it? I got to imagine And the answer is no. But you're not in a cab with another what? 300 people in the same. You're all, you know, scrunched in together. Yeah, I wouldn't get into a cab either. Yeah. But it's better than a subway. How can this guy possibly say when the world is saying, stay home.
Starting point is 01:48:31 Yeah. Don't worry. You could get into the crowded subway. It's all good. I wonder what, because he is, if I remember correctly, a massive liberal, a crazy person, basically. He was tweeting about Trump visiting. Wasn't he the guy that? Oh, yeah, yeah. And it's like, Trump gets beat up for, we went over what he said, which was, I mean, the only thing you might be able to be critical in the slightest about Trump's statement is that, you know, hunch might not be the best way of phrasing uncertainty about a mortality rate. But he is saying, but he is actually trying to communicate the uncertainty. Exactly right. He's not saying for sure it's going to be 1%, which everyone believes it will be.
Starting point is 01:49:09 He's saying the same thing that they said in the New England Journal of Medicine. Same thing, just different words. This guy is saying the opposite of what everybody else is saying. What he's saying is legitimately dangerous, right? Like, you know, that there's no risk. Well, there is a risk. You should do everything you can to protect yourself and to take basic steps. You can't be perfect.
Starting point is 01:49:29 You can't spot the virus walking down the street and dodge it. But you can wash your hands and you can do the basics. And staying out of an area where what is enclosed that thousands of people go, shuttle themselves in and out of, millions actually in this case, shuttled themselves in and out of. I think it's a totally safe thing to try to avoid that if possible. By the way,
Starting point is 01:49:49 you know who the common sense person was in this conversation, the one who's like, excuse me, Pierce Morgan. Wow. I mean, that's how much you can, that's how much the world has changed.
Starting point is 01:49:59 Is there a portal between here and England where like Pierce Morgan, when he crosses to this side of the ocean, turns into the biggest idiot in the world, and then he crosses back and he becomes smart again? Is that possible? Right? Because remember how.
Starting point is 01:50:13 stupid he was when he was on CNN? Well, it's because I think over there he's talking about his country. Over here, he's like, you know, this constitution. Like, dude, you didn't even understand it. No, he had no idea. You're coming from a country where they're banning knives, butter knives. I mean, stop.
Starting point is 01:50:30 The other thing that's interesting about peers is he seems to have a personal relationship with Trump. And I don't know if that flavors his coverage. Because if I can't imagine because they were on a celebrity Celebrity Apprentice. They've had a long relationship. I can't imagine he would be as positive towards Trump if he did not have that relationship.
Starting point is 01:50:51 But he does. He's saying a lot of things that were very positive towards Trump. You don't hear a lot of that in the media. And Morgan, if he was still, that peers Morgan from CNN, he'd be doing everything that Chris Cuomo is doing and Don Lemon and all the other people that are there. I mean, he was the worst offender back in the day. By the way, 62-year-old man in Spain, the first coronavirus page.
Starting point is 01:51:13 to believe to have made a full recovery after being treated with an HIV drug. Oh, yeah. They're trying these different drugs. They thought that this coronavirus had some things in common with HIV and could be beaten by some of the HIV drugs. This is the first guy to make a full recovery after being treated with his HIV drug. So that is really good news. That just happened. And China is also testing a version of this as well in their country.
Starting point is 01:51:40 It's called a blet. and they say they just inject one right into your head. Oh, wow. How does it work? The bullet kills all viruses, all viruses. Really? Yeah. It works, I guess, at a cellular level at some point, but it's over.
Starting point is 01:51:59 Really? Yeah. Is this the thing I was reading about that? No more suffering. The only downside is occasionally some of the virus splatters up against the wall? Yeah, there's some bleeding issues that they're still working on. But they'll get that down. China will get that down.
Starting point is 01:52:12 Oh, they'll get that down. Yes, they will. Yes, they will. It's amazing, too, that this does not get called out for what it is, which is a global pandemic that was caused by communism, which is also, by the way, a global pandemic. Communism kills a lot more people than the coronavirus, that's for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:30 But, I mean, they seem to be completely free of blame here from unleashing this on the world. Everyone's like, ah, you know, they made a little mistake by, by hiding this for a few weeks when they knew about it and not letting their doctors actually communicate the medical information they found. Yeah, it's completely forgotten. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:50 And it is very similar to Chernobyl, except much, much, much worse than Chernobyl was. Chernobyl wasn't that bad. 57 people died. Almost all of them were working on site that day. There will be, you know, over time, they do believe there will be an increased cancer occurrence in the close nearby areas that could kill a decent amount of people in the future,
Starting point is 01:53:17 but not going to be anywhere near where coronavirus does just this year. No. Just this year. And that's besides the fact that at that time, they were projecting that to kill maybe 500,000 people immediately. It did not happen at all. And but what was in common there was a communist government handling something because it embarrassed them and unleashing it on their own people and in this case the entire world. So let me just give you one real quick Biden update.
Starting point is 01:53:48 Do we have the Biden theme song here? Because he looks like he is trying to find his way to the podium now. And this is just like one of his sentences. It has the same roller coaster ride. I just love this so much. Because doesn't this feel like what? Joe Biden is going through right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:14 I'm the president. I'm going to be the, I'm running for not Senate, right? The issue with Joe Biden is his brain is always buffering. It's just a constant, yeah. Just this. Anyway, the president, the president has been mocking the campaign gaff saying, there's something going on up there, meaning Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:54:38 And he said, he was really upset. he was, quote, mentally set for Bernie, a communist. And then we have this crazy thing that happened on Tuesday, which he thought was on Thursday. He introduces his wife as his sister and then says that 150 million people were killed with guns, and he's running for the U.S. Senate. He said, I just, I think there's something damaged. I'm wondering if there's something damaged about Biden.
Starting point is 01:55:09 you're hearing this from the left you're hearing this from the right you're hearing this with your ears you watch him and it just doesn't feel right it doesn't look like it's right and we are talking but forget the whole thing about how Biden you know can't get through sentences
Starting point is 01:55:27 and he's you know groping people all the time no he's not groping always he's but he is smelling their hair you're smelling going on gee your hair smells like all that's terrific stuff that's a little goofy I think we all legitimately look at Biden and feel like not good about it. Like I don't, if you feel bad for him in a way.
Starting point is 01:55:44 Yeah. Because it seems like something's going wrong. But separate from that, the Democrats basically have handed their shot at the presidency, which at this point right now is probably a 45% chance to win the election to a guy who quite clearly does not seem competent to run the United States of America. I mean, there's one thing to say, this guy's crazy. No, this guy. is probably early, in the early parts of dementia.
Starting point is 01:56:15 Obviously, we have no idea of the medical diagnosis there, but it does, look, we've all seen this happen. We all have had relatives where this has happened, where things have slowed down. We seem to be following every pattern. What's crazy is we would not, if that was our grandparent or our dad, we would say, Dad, you got to stop. You got to stop. We would take the keys away from. We're thinking as a country of giving.
Starting point is 01:56:39 him the nuclear keys. We're telling him, hey, you're fit to drive the country. None of us would feel comfortable if that was our family member with him driving our car, let alone drive the country. If he wins this nomination, his pick of the vice president is going to be the biggest one of all time. It's going to be the most important pick. It's going to be the most important pick of all time.

Have anything planned for the weekend, Stu?
Starting point is 01:59:12 She's going to be mourning the loss of Elizabeth Warren's camp. campaign. Oh my gosh. I'm so depressed. I had to take down my Elizabeth Warren for president tree. You did? Yeah, I had it all decorated, ready to go. Now, I know I didn't want her to be president because she's a woman. And I can't, I would not want a woman to be president. That's not excuse the expression, but it is 2020. That's why I had the vagina tree. Oh, you did? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yep. Um, I was amazed by how all the think pieces coming out from feminists now. You know, that's the only reason she was a woman. One of them entitled, America punished Elizabeth Warren for her competence. No, America didn't. Can we stop with that? America didn't. Democrats did.
Starting point is 01:59:49 If you believe that, it's all Democrats and progressives. All the people who are like, you are just such a misogynist. No, I have no problem. I'll vote for Nikki Haley in 2024. Yeah. I'll campaign for Nikki Haley in 2024. No, I won't because that always means the kiss of death and she wouldn't win.
