And profite. Viaray. The voice that we love. Thank you very much, Elri. Nice to be back. Our sponsor, the SEP Hours, Home Title Lock. It's devastating to be the victim of a crime.

But it can be worse if you are the victim of a crime you didn't even know someone would commit. Home title fraud, which is actually becoming more and more of a problem these days, is a crime that, very few people have even heard of. Sometimes it is, you know, comes kind of out of nowhere and hits you after several months of, uh, it seems like it's been dormant.

And then all of a sudden you get hit with an eviction notice of your own home from some overseas bank you've never even done business with. Um, someone finds the title to your home online, forges your name on the deed stating that you've sold your home to them. And then, uh, you know, look, they just refile as the new owner. And when they do that, they can literally evict you from your own home. Before you even know that it's been sold, you need to be able to make a little bit of a move on this. Go to home tidalock.com. Hometitlelock.com is the place to go.

If you go there, instant they detect some tampering. They're going to mobilize to shut it down. First things first, go there, home titlelock.com, register your address, see if you're already a victim and don't know it. And then use your code back for 30 free days of protection. That's code back at hometitleck.com. Go there now, home titlelock.com. The code is back for 30 days. risk-free days, home tidalock.com. We were about 15 seconds away from the radio program beginning, where we will probably light things on fire in a, you know, sort of a peaceful protest. That's coming up here in just a moment.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Well, hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Monday. and if you happen to be watching us, you'll notice that I am back at home and not at the studio, which I've been waiting to go back to the studio now

for, I don't know, about what, four months? But I'm not back at the studio because I got a doctor's call last night, about 8.30. I'm going to give you an update on that. Oh, the one family that has been more isolated than any other family, I think, in America. Yeah, yeah, I got the doctor's call yesterday.

And so we'll talk about that. Also, your citizen brief. What happened around the country this weekend? We give you that brief in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. Yeah, all right. So let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. There is something about getting the right person

for the job when you're charging off into the crazy world of buying and selling a home or both. Second to the last thing you want is to go there by yourself. The last thing you want to do is go there with an incompetent agent. Believe me, we have all seen incompetent agents from time to time. This is why when it comes for you to consider putting your home on the market or to start looking for one, you can investigate with real estate agents I trust. It's a company that I founded years ago with the express purpose of gathering together the nation's top agents and making them available for a free service to you. Do your own homework.

Check them out. I think you'll be hard pressed to find an agent who's going to work harder than the ones that will send your way. But I want you to do your own homework. It's real estate agents. itrust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. Attention. You are about to be addressed by the ministry of truth.

This is your job. Citizen Brief. From the Ministry of Truth of the Wolf Party, this is your Monday Citizen Brief in the summer of peace and love. The war marches

on. Battles are getting bloodier. The dead pile on like crushed vegetables in a heap. The battle for Seattle continues. Our brothers and sisters on the front line have shown great exuberance and valor.

On Saturday night, our soldiers successfully injured 21 police officers and set a construction fire on site in retaliation to capitalism and slavery of the prison system. We lost 45 soldiers from the arrests, but don't worry, we have operatives on the inside. As part of local government, Seattle City Council voted to remove the police ability to use the police ability to use. riot control methods during battle. We have stripped our most immediate enemy of all of their weapons. Seattle is now defenseless. You have taken your spoils. You have seized the city. You have reshaped the former constitution itself. You can peacefully protest, and you are peacefully. Remember, riots bring peace. Looting brings wealth. Murder brings tranquility. Always make sure to plan out destruction with the utmost care. Ultimately, the city of Seattle is buckling to you, the woke party's powerful grip. The Seattle police chief told her citizens that she is so sorry, she can't protect them anymore. They're on their own. You let them know how true that statement is.

when you ambushed that cop with an IED. You have successfully overtaken the justice system because crime is heroic. Destruction is renewal. Seattle, Seattle City Attorney, says he will not file charges against the broke party soldiers. The same in Portland. To my soldiers in St. Louis,

you have shown the legal system that they must kneel to you. You have used your outrage to intimidate the city into rewarding our BLM soldiers. None of the valiant activists will be charged with criminal activity, yes, also in St. Louis. In Portland, you made them bow to your silliest demands. Local politicians actually sent a cease and assist letter to the federal government, calling for the removal of courthouse fencing because the federal. Fencing and barriers are in the right of way, and they create a hazard for Pordlanders by blocking the bike lane on Southwest Maine. You have permanently blinded many of our enemies.

You have murdered and deformed and traumatized and degraded so many of our enemies, and you must continue. Through your hate, you bring love, through your darkness, you bring. light. Our greatest victories have been in Seattle and Portland, but we have gained strength in most major cities. In Austin, we lost a comrade who died with the woke party demands, taunting. Also important, we must upgrade our uniform standards. Do not confuse your brothers and sisters in the woke party for the enemy. In Colorado, a woke party soldier shot two fellow, woke partyists. That's at least what the pigs say. You have gripped the legal system of our enemy. You have tensed your grip around the throat of fascism. In Baltimore, we have, because of the

Wolk Party soldiers, that have been arrested. We have an operative inside there as well. They have been released without charges. In Chicago, 1,500 rioters were arrested. Most will not receive any serious charge. In Washington, D.C., prosecutors have dropped many rioting charges against the Wolf Party soldiers. That's right, Democrat Party. You're with us, but are we with you? You will feel our wrath as well. If we don't get what we want, when we want it,

as long as what we want is anarchy and death, we should destroy everything in sight until we get it. Lower yourselves to the ground and chant aloud the three slogans of the woke party. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. Unorthodox loyalties lead to thought crime. Keep your phone with you at all times. We are watching you. Truth chips now for your safety are available.

The Ministry of Peace reminds you that our country must remain at war, for the sake of your mental atmosphere, and for the social hierarchy of the nation and the good of the woke party. Remember, destroy your enemies by changing them. It is essential that you not just crush someone, but that you ruin their lives, their reputations, and their personal health. Destruction is building. Our war is just beginning. Our war will never end. By 2050, the woke party will have ushered in the nation of truth, love, and peace. Fight the dark army.

Think about our boys fighting for equality. And always remember, Big Brother is watching you. So you dare not fail. Let me tell you about Rough Greens. David has two terriers, both of them 15 years old, which is, you know, like, I don't know, Joe Biden in dog years. However, one of them has been acting older than the other for the past year or so. Low energy seemed to never really feel well. David loves his dogs, and as they got older, he wanted to do everything he could promote their health.

So he tried rough greens. Well, the dogs are still up there in years, but now they both act younger and feel better, and the grumpy one. has perked up. Rough greens, a supplement that you put on your dog's food. It contains all the ingredients that your dogs need, which get cooked out by the kibble food when it's being made. Probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils. These are just some of the things that your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle. And they're all the things that are in rough greens. So give your dog the Rough Greens 14-day jump start bag. Give it today at 1495. And see the difference. in your dog in 14 days or less.

And I'm telling you, the longer I feed this to Uno, the better he seems to be. Just go to roughgreens.com slash Beck. That's RUFFF Greens.com slash back or call 833 Glenn 33. That's 833 Glenn 33. Call today. 10 seconds. Station ID. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

So glad that you're here. It is Monday. I was supposed to be in the studios today. But at 8.30 last night, I get a call from the doctor. And the doctor says, your children have COVID. And I said, excuse me? Your children have COVID. Okay.

Well, they all were sick for two days and had a wussy little fever and a headache. You know, like a bad cold as they described it to me. I don't feel well. I mean, how do you feel? feel. I got a headache and I sniffles and a fever. All right. I can still do stuff.

No, go to bed. It was a bad cold with a fever. So now everybody in the house has COVID or had COVID, except for my two grandchildren and me. I'm just assuming

that I'm going to get it, I guess. The doctor was like, you know, you have a, you know, a bad immune system, blah, blah, blah, you have, you know, immune problems. And I'm like, eh, eh. I mean, really, it was, it was like a bad cold. If that's it, I want it. I want it right now so I have the antibodies.

In fact, I'm thinking about charging, I don't know, Stu, what do you think, $500 so you can come over and you can hug my children? They'll lick their hand and then put it on your face. I mean, it sounds like a really bad idea. If this is the strain that you're going to get, though, I mean, I know that it is bad. But if this is the strain that you're going to get, this is the one to get. This is the one to have. I'm thinking about having a chicken pox party.

Yeah, right. You look very pale. So I think they, what do they say? About 80% of cases are either asymptomatic or mild symptoms, right? And then you start getting into more serious symptoms. after that. But most people, right, that have it, don't have these devastating effects. It's just hard to predict who does, who gets them and who not, who doesn't. I mean, we know older people get it more often, people with preexisting conditions.

But it's like, you know, Freddie Freeman of the Atlanta Braves, who's, you know, pretty well in shape, got a 104 fever from it. Who knows how it's going to hit you? Yeah, my doctor was like, I want to start you on a flight, you're going to get it. Do you have a compromised immune system? you're old, you're fat. And I'm like, okay, well, I mean, you don't have to be rude about it. Yeah, truth teller. Yeah, thank you.

Thank you. So hydroxychloroquine, zinc, baby aspirin. And I'm like, oh, no, don't give me baby aspirin. I mean, I'm still working my way up to ibuprofen 800. Baby aspirin. And busonanide. I don't know. I was also to inhale this.

The breathable steroid thing they're saying they're having. Yeah. They're saying they have some good success with that. Yeah, I guess a doctor in Texas, I think, started using this and says it's really, really good because it attacks it at the roots. Your lungs. So I haven't had my baby aspirin yet, but I'm afraid to take it because, I mean, then I'm flying high. God only knows what I'll say on the air. Well, I'm interested because so you don't know that you have COVID.

These are what? kind of just in case a situation or you're not sure. Yeah, well, everybody in the family's on them now. I mean, everybody dropped like flies last week. Just dropped like flies. It was one after another after another. But luckily, I mean, unlike the Omega Man, you know, or legend, I was the only one left there for a while,

but they got better fast because I was like, if somebody's got to cook food, I don't know how to. That's good. That's good. I'm sure they appreciated that. Yeah. No, they did. Hey, can you get up because his house is really starting to get really, like, rancid?

I don't know if something died in the refrigerator or what. Someone needs to do something here. They need to do something because I'm not doing it. So is there a way, I mean, that we can utilize this potential ailment of yours to our advantage? I mean, is there a sympathy quotient we can exploit to its full stability? fullest levels to, I don't know, I mean, I will say, I think today. Okay, so in other words, so like if I, you should listen all this week because I could be dead tomorrow. Yeah, something like that.

Something like that. I'm going to take you, tomorrow. I may not be here, so you should listen every second. It's not quite as believable when you were already saying, you know, you didn't necessarily feel that way. But still, I think, you know, over the week, we could build. the drama. And again, like, this is... I should get worse this week.

Right. This is the week, too. I think today's the first day where people can vote on your going into the Radio Hall of Fame. So there's a clear sympathy tie-in here. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because nobody's going to do it because I belong in the Hall of Fame. No, no.

Definitely. I mean, I clearly don't belong in the Hall of Fame. So I, oh my gosh. Stu, I just found out. I... I'm all out of zinc. I'm all out of zinc. I think you can kind of hear the...

That's bad. No, that's the baby aspirin that you were listening to. And I've only got a few of the baby aspirin, so I could be in a lot of pain. A lot of pain. Now, someone who deserved to go in the Radio Hall of Fame probably picks up an empty bottle and is prepared to fake his lack of medication. You obviously don't belong in.

But I don't deserve it. Right. So you can still hear the pills jiggling around and everyone knows that you're lying. be clearly a sympathy vote. Clearly a sympathy vote, which is great. Which is great. So, uh, it's the way you can go by the way to, uh, we should point this out. Can I vote?

Vote.com. I think you can. One person, I think it's one vote per email address. Radiovote.com. And you have a chance to vote for Glenn as one of the, uh, spoken word, uh, radio Hall of Famers to go in, uh, this year. We, it would be cool. I mean, because it'll at least, you know, make Glenn feel better.

Maybe it'll be right. Maybe it's something we can mention. In his eulogy. This is probably going to be a... In one of those things that they give you when you're dead, you know, a good broadcaster would know the name of it, but I don't remember what to do. Glenn?

Okay, okay. Still there. I could go at any minute. I could go at any minute. This is very Chris Cuomo-esque this entire performance. At any time, I expect you to come out of your basement and say, for the first time, you've been allowed out of your room. Yeah.

Yeah, well, that's what I would do. Yeah, that's what I would do. And, Chris, of course, I wouldn't be on CNN doing it. I wouldn't say that I'm a credible journalist. I'd tell you the whole time. Yeah, I'm not doing anything the doctor's telling me how to do because I think this is, I think I'm serious. If this is what it is, this is ridiculous. If this is the way 80% of the people feel when they get it, this is ridiculous.

Take 20%, random 20% if you have. do. I don't care. Just quarantine the people that are most likely to get it. Right. Like the first basement for Major League Baseball franchises. Let's just quarantine them because they're super likely to get. You can't, you don't know. That's the whole point. You don't know which people are going to be affected by it.

You can take a guess. You can eliminate the most vulnerable. I think that's what we're trying to do, I guess, now, right? I mean, that's seemingly what we're trying to do at the moment. Can I ask a question? Are they screwing with the color on the television show? Or have I just gotten really, really greenish? You do. There is an issue with that right now.

If you happen to be viewing on Blaze TV, there is an issue. I think it's, it looks bad in your monitor. Is it a possibility? It is fixed, I believe, for the normal viewer. Is it possible that I gave the camera COVID? And the camera is now sick? I'm getting Fauci on the phone right now to ask him. Or am I starting to look that back?

Well, try really hard to really listen carefully because he almost always has a mask on. Almost. Almost always has a mask on. Okay. I mean, you know, unless he's out in public or something, you know, he'll wear it, but he'll wear it around his neck. You know, it's like, it's like Cuomo. Did you see this? You were on vacation last week.

Did you see Cuomo? people send me every Cuomo story now because of all the shows I've done on Andrew Cuomo and Chris Cuomo He he Which one are you talking about? Which one of the many incidents? The one where he went the one where he was out in public and he's Glad-handing everybody and then he goes backstage, takes his mask off and he's laughing it up with everybody else Everybody else is wearing a mask. He's not wearing one. No, well he's key. He gets to do whatever he wants. Yeah, yeah He is the worst

Because he's the greatest governor of all time I don't think you miss that No I definitely miss that part I've seen how they've been trying to do that But no he is not the greatest governor of all time The worst governor in America Bar none Did you see there's a new

Roger Ailes movie coming out There's a new Roger Ales movie coming out This one is showing the good side of Roger And it's just like Roger Ails, to do this before his death. He did it with John Voight. And the only reason why I bring this up is because in the article, it says that John met Roger through me. We went to dinner together.

I don't even remember it. That's how sick with pre-COVID I was. I don't even remember that. But I guess you can vote. How do you vote for me? Radiovote.com. Radiovote.com. You can vote today through August 9th, one vote for email address.

If you have lots of email addresses, I'll talk to that. Don't vote for talent or who really deserves it. Vote for the sick guy. Me. This is the Glenn Beck. All right. Greg lives in Hawaii. So I don't know why we're talking about him.

I mean, okay, so he has some pain. Yeah? Well, you live in Hawaii. Last year, his knee started as well. He made it made climbing the stairs and walking distances almost. impossible. And following shortly after that, hip, shoulder pain, he might as well live in, I don't know, Chicago. The interesting part, Greg had been taking Relief Factor for three days, three days. When he heard about Relief Factory, he decided to give it a try. Three days later, the knee stopped swelling.

The back, the hips, the shoulders began to settle down. I mean, my life is the same. It totally changed my life when I started taking Relief Factor. He got his life back. If you're living with pain, get your life back as well. Greg is now enjoying Hawaii. It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. Why? Because it works. So try their three-week quick start pack. It's 1995, Relieffactor.com. 800,58384, Relieffactor.com. Back tonight, a new episode of Stu Does America. Of course, go to blazedTV.com slash glen. Use the promo code Glenn.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program and welcome to Mr. Pat Gray. Don't get too close to your headphones, Pat, or to the camera lens. Apparently, my family all has COVID. The most isolated family on the planet, except for one weekend over a month ago. Over a month ago, we had 400 people up at our house. and if we were going to get it, two weeks after that is when we should have gotten it. But we didn't. No, we didn't.

Instead, we just isolated and stayed indoors. I think it can take up to 30 days. Somehow another got COVID. It can to incubate or whatever they call that, to percolate in your system. I think it can take up to 30 days. Now, initially they said it takes 15 minutes and then it went to like two weeks. then it was like, maybe it's 30 days. And then it was like, no, it could, you know, a year and a half later if you're exposed,

it could just pop right out. So you, were doctors present at your birth? Because if they were, that was a crowded room you shouldn't have been in. You could get it at any moment. But so I don't know how, but everybody last week, I mean, I think I joked about it last week on the air that, and it's the only reason why we're on the air today. is because I joked about it with the head of Mercury, and I said, yeah, everybody's dropping from fly.

We got the COVID here. And he was like, everybody's dropping like flies. Glenn may be joking, but I'm smarter than he is. So I'm going to tell engineering to have everything ready to go. So last night, I get a call, and they were in my house last night at midnight, after my wife and I came in with masks and wiped everything down in here so they could come in.

and put the program back on the air because everything had been ripped out of my house because I was going back to work today. Can't they just leave it there? I don't know. You know, if you ever have a hanker in to stay home, you can just do it. Well, can't they just leave it? I think they're trying to put it there because he'll stay home every day. That's why they don't do it.

Right. I think that's exactly right. They don't want to put it in my house because they know I will never come back into the studio. And I paid a lot of money for those studios. So, in retrospect, not a good idea, although we might get Joe Rogan. I mean, I think we should, I think all the listeners should email Joe Rogan today and tell him work at the Mercury Studios. I think Joe Rogan has enough money for his own building, maybe several buildings. No, he does, but he's smarter than that.

He's smarter than that. You know, why would he, when you can just, when you can have somebody else's studio and just rent, why would you buy a huge Why would you buy the Paramount lot? Right. You know what I'm saying? That makes a lot of sense. That makes no sense.

You know, Pat, this is the sort of reasoning that's going to get Glenn into the Radio Hall of Fame. It's this sort of thinking out of the box that's going to win it for him, I think. So here's the problem. Is it radiovote.com? Yeah, radiovote.com. I've already voted.

I mean, not for Glenn. Right. But I did vote. NPR? NPR guys? No, yeah, it won't with NPR. I thought that would be a good. It's a good choice.

Better than Glenn. If I lose to the NPR guys. guys. And listen, audience, because I know you, you will vote for the NPR guys because you'll think it's funny. Don't. Don't do it. It won't be funny to me. It won't be funny to me. It was funny last year.

Last year when you lost to the fabulous sports babe or whoever, that was funny. This will not be funny. I'll be funny. I'm the Susan Lucci of the Radio Hall of Fame. I'm the Susan Lucci. And I know I'm never going to get in it because I've been told by the guy who runs the Radio

Hall of Fame, you will never be inducted to the Hall of Fame. Now, this is a very long time ago, right? This is, this is many, many, many years ago. He's still there. He's still there. And believe me, he still remembers. The president of this year. Somebody we know pretty well.

Yeah, yeah. And I would think would be friendly. No, but the guy who started it all is there. Okay. Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing. you know, last year, apparently when you could vote, it counted for like, it could override all the other votes. But apparently somebody did what I would have done this year and cheated.

And we're offering like prizes for people who could vote and, you know, set up extra emails and everything else. And so now it's only one-twent of the vote, which I think, you know, is not the way. it should be but uh wow you know because listeners listen more than you know probably board members do oh yeah and board members sometimes can have vendettas against people and then they never get in they're you're doing a good job to win this vote let me tell you you are working it hard again the reason i'm on baby aspirin right now i'm on baby aspirin you i can't be held responsible for what i'm saying someplace but it's so small because it's printed for baby eyes all the warnings I don't know if I should be operating high, you know, heavy machinery with this or not.

I don't know. Probably not because I never see babies operating heavy machinery. That's true. So they might all be on baby aspirin and probably, probably. Now, let me ask you this. What does the baby aspirin do in the COVID situation? Oh, it's a strong pain reliever. Is it?

Okay. I'm still working up to ibuprofen 800. You know, when the doctor says, have you ever? Now listen, I want to talk to you about something. I want to be serious here for a moment. Have you ever had ibuprofen 800? I want to just slap the doctor when they say that. Yeah, it's like, no, no, doc, slow down.

Not ibuprofen. 800? I take them by the handful, Doc. Anyway. Never had anything that strong. Ooh, wee. So I think we've cracked. I really think we've cracked this.

Did you see the Yale epidemiologist who said, stop with the hydroxychloroquine scare tactics. Yes. It works. It works. And we all had to hate it, I guess, because we all hate Donald Trump. But it works. It's such a bizarre.

And I don't know. It's so bizarre. So bizarre. It's just like a religious fervor around this one medication. It is. It is. It is. It is.

It obviously doesn't cure every single case, right? It does. But it does seem to help in some cases. There's been multiple studies that, should be tried. And it's been tried in several areas and and like there's this fervor against it and for it as if it's like been

this like long term political dividing point like like pro life and pro-hydroxy and anti-hydroxy and we all have this in our DNA for the last 50 years. It's like well we all just want something that works right like Trump also said remdesivir in the press conference where he mentioned

hydroxychloroquine the same press conference. And that's fine. Nobody cares about Remedesvier. Why? I don't know. I don't understand it. I talked to a listener last week who said his whole family got it. And it was like the sniffles for his kids. It was like a mild cold for him. Then his wife was really sick because she's got underlying issues.

And they wouldn't give her hydroxychloroquine at the hospital. So we brought her home and their primary care physician ordered hydroxychloroquine for it. 12 hours later, she was almost completely better. Wow. 12 hours later. Yeah. It's amazing. I got it for my vet.

Really? No, you know, they were talking about it. In some states, they are making illegal for doctors to prescribe it. I know. That's insanity. Insanity. As Stu said, it's not the cure-all, but it does help a lot of people. But I will tell you that my doctor has done a lot of research, and he is always calling me going, hey, hey, you should know.

But hydroxychloroquine. is what I'm supposed to take. He said with zinc, not with a Z-pack, but with zinc, then the bear children's baby aspirin, that's because people are getting, that's because they're getting blood clots.

People are getting blood clots. Oh, wow. In their lungs. And so take one baby aspirin, and it helps so you don't get blood clots in your lungs. And then this is the newest part is, I don't know what it is, Bissud Bissud, how would you say that, Pat?

Look at the label here. How would you say that? Bucidnid. Yeah, not really readable. BUDD. BUDD. B-U-D-Said, yeah, like you said. That's why I'm nominated for the Radio Hall of Fame and you're not, man. That's why.

Wait, but your doctor didn't give you the Pepsid? They keep saying that there's a chance that Pepsid actually helps the fight. Really? I'm serious. I mean, that is true, right? It is legitimately like, again, that does not mean you should go out. and take Pepsi in for I don't you know I've not looked into but there are studies that that say that they think it could be a potential treatment for for COVID 19 there's so many things out there

they just say everything right yes it's like yeah you know what Glenn I think I mean can we come up with like nachos is it possible nachos can cure COVID 19 you should try it let's see what happens he said he said it doesn't make sense that you didn't get it because you know you have a compromised immune system. And I said, Doc, I have been eating a steady diet of ice cream and Hershey's chocolate. I think we should look into that. I think we should look into it. It may have helped my immune system. It's an obvious vaccine. It's a vaccine. Right. Oh, wait a minute. I never thought about just intervenously taking Hershey's chocolate. Wow, that would be really, you'd miss the taste, but let me just check. Just check with you.

with one thing here. I just want to get Pat's take on John Roberts. Oh, my God. John Roberts. How this one, this one really drives me crazy. Yeah. Because this one is clearly constitutional. Yeah.

This one is not like, well, it's in the Commerce Clause. This is the First Amendment. The First Amendment. And the court wouldn't even take it up. and John Roberts was the deciding vote. They wouldn't take up the Nevada limits on in-person worship services. Wouldn't even listen to it. I'm telling you, just like the, just like the Jim Crow laws and the,

oh, shoot, what was the really bad, the Dred Scott decision? The American people did not listen to the Supreme Court on the Dred Scott decision. They didn't listen. and they were right for not listening. These 10 people do not decide what our First Amendment actually means. Yeah, it's true. It's true. John Roberts has lost all his marbles.

I mean, he's got one job. You've got one job. Defend the Constitution. And he can't do it. He can't do it because of his legacy or whatever. He doesn't want to be seen as conservative or he doesn't want his court to be seen as right-wing. I can handle Ginsburg. I really can.

I can handle Ginsburg because she's consistent and she believes in something. John Roberts is just political. John Roberts is the worst Supreme Court justice that I have seen in my lifetime. Because I don't believe he believes anything. He'll go with the Constitution on some things, usually small and insignificant. And then when it's there in the First Amendment, he goes against it. Why? How could you possibly do that?

How could you possibly do that, John? It's in the First Amendment. You know, I know if you get up to like, I mean, who would expect you to read, you know, 20, 23, 24? I mean, it starts to get long and teens. This is the first one. This is the first one. Yeah. It should have been so crystal clear.

He's just too worried about his legacy. That's the only thing that's on his mind, it seems, when he makes you. these decisions. And he's made good decisions on little teeny things. But anytime it really matters, he's with the liberals. He has rewritten the Constitution. He rewrote

the law. Rewrote the law for the Obama administration. You don't do that. You can't do that. He rewrote it so he could pass it. And now this, he just doesn't even read the First Amendment. People

of faith, you need to stand up. You must stand up. There is an attack of biblical proportions coming on people of faith. You must stand up now. All right.

I've been looking for UFOs. I mean, I haven't been personally looking for UFOs, but I've been watching all the stories on UFOs. Have you seen the latest from the Pentagon last week while you were on vacation, Stu?

I saw everyone referencing it about how you'd think normally this would be a big story, but because of what's going on, no one's even paying attention to it. Right. Yeah. Right. So like this really big, you know, everybody loves kind of scientist. came out and testified in open session of Congress that the United States has retrieved vehicles from not this world. They don't know where they're from, but they're off planet.

Wait, hold it. We have, that's kind of a big deal, isn't it? Shouldn't we, shouldn't that be maybe, you know, one of the top stories of the day? perhaps one of the top stories of all humanity. I mean, that's a, we found it's like, it's like finding a Buick that we didn't make floating in space. I don't know, maybe we should mention that. How did that Buick get here?

It's very strange. I mean, if it's a Tesla, I get it. I get it, but not a Buick. No. So what do you take of this? I mean, I didn't do a deep dive into it, but I know you've been following this stuff pretty closely. I think that I'm,

I think that I'm right about the extraterrestrial thing. I think that they have been slowly dribs and drabs recently putting all this stuff out, and they're just preparing us for the announcement that, yeah, there's life. I mean, doesn't that seem like a big deal? Like, wait, wait, wait, you say we've retrieved vehicles that are otherworldly and that we couldn't make here on earth? I don't know. That sounds like a big deal.

Was there a pilot in the ship? This is the Glenn Beck. Where do we all turn when things fall apart? Well, if you're like me, you lean on things that stand the test of time, your closest friends, your family, or a cherished movie that re-inspires. The classics are made to last, and that's why we turn to them in good times and bad.

I have one of those beloved things in my life. It's my Tachovovus Cowboy Boots. At Tocovus, they've been. don't see themselves as just makers of quality boots and Western goods. They believe that a good pair of boots can change the way people feel about themselves. Now, why is that? Why is it something that you put on your feet can change the way you feel inside? Because the boots are a manifestation of things at last, boots that can weather the storm and walk confidently to the other side. Cowboy boots are and have always been for the frontiers ahead. Find your pair at Tocovis.com slash back

Well, a Seattle radio host, believe the protests in Seattle were really, really peaceful. And when Donald Trump tweeted and said, The terrorists burn and pillage our cities,

they think it's just wonderful, Even death must end the Seattle takeover now. Gallant assured the president. I went for a walk last night. I walked through it out of curiosity. I saw no burning, pillaging, or deaths. Chill, dog. Well, now fast forward a few days, and we arrive at the weekend,

where Seattle was on fire, where Vandals had set fire to a construction site at the King County Youth Service Center. They sadly also attacked a Starbucks that had residential apartments above and the Fire Force residents to evacuate the smoldering building. Unfortunately, guess who lived right above

the Starbucks? Yeah. This week, he tweeted, I feel like I need to buy a firearm because clearly this is going to keep happening. Enough is enough. And may I. just say, please.

Oh my gosh, Paul. Chill, dog. This is the Glenn Beck program. All the news that's happening in Seattle and Portland from the ground coming up in just a second. A year ago, MGM Resorts reported a data breach that impacted over 10 million hotel guests worldwide. Well, it turns out this year, 2020, the data breach situation went the same way everyone else. seems to be going this year. MGM resorts thought it had impacted 10 million people,

but they were off just by a little bit. The number is 142 million people. And the hacker, a very reasonable guy, is now selling the details of 142 million hotel guests for about $3,000. I love this.

Christopher Rufo has been on the program several times, contributing editor of the City Journal, director on Center and Wealth and Poverty. He has broken several stories. He's the guy who brought us the story the last time out of Seattle where they were doing sensitivity training times a thousand. He now has a new story. King County Executive Office is now doing training on dismantling the justice system. Chris Rufo is with us now. Chris, how are you?

I'm very well. How are you? I'm good. So Seattle, we saw the juvenile news, juvenile hall burned down this weekend that they were building. And Seattle is actually looking to abolish prisons. Is that right? Yeah, that's right. So this really comes on the heels of Seattle City Council's support for cutting the police department by 50%. The next thing on their wish list is to close the largest county jail in downtown Seattle, which would reduce the county's total jail capacity by at least 60%. And this is something that the county executive had been kind of circulating documents. I broke it before he announced it. But these are real plans. Within the next six to 12 months, we could have 50% of the police force and about 40% of the county

jail capacity. And it's all predicated on the same ideas that we talked about last time with the kind of undoing whiteness training. The documents that I've obtained really show that critical race theory, the idea that the world is reducible to the kind of evil force of whiteness and creating these racist institutions is at the heart of this plan, and their solution is very clear. They make it explicit. If you have a racist criminal justice system, the only thing that can be done is to tear it down. When I ask you this every time I talk to you, when are the people,

in Seattle going to wake up? You know, I've been asking that question for many years with the hopes that things could turn around. I am curious. There's a real disconnect. And I think a lot of people are now contacting me just saying, you know, what's happening? What can we do to turn it around? People who haven't been engaged.

I know that people, homeowners that are selling their houses and leaving the city of Seattle, it's up 1,500 percent compared to the same period last year. Some people are definitely moving with their feet. But there is a kind of religious fanaticism and conviction to socialist politics. And it's rationalized in the sense that when their plans don't work, people basically say, we didn't go far enough, and they double down. And I'm very afraid that that's what's happening here. When do you move?

Have you put a line, a red line down on the ground and said, you know, I mean, because honestly, this is getting so crazy. And I'm going to use a hyperbolic example here. And I know that it is not to this level by any stretch. Hopefully it never does come to this. But in the 1930s, the Jews were looking at things just starting to just completely fall apart. And some of them said, I'm getting out of that. to hear now while they're getting as good. And eventually, you know, they were trapped and they couldn't leave.

At what point, is there a red line that you look at and go, you know, if it gets to here, I got to get out of here. Yeah, I mean, you know, there is. And I think that it's really kind of fallen and collapsed very quickly. Five years ago, I had a friend visiting in Seattle and he said, wow, this is one of the cleanest big cities in America. It's great. you can go anywhere, high quality of life.

And then he came back last year and he said, it looks like somebody dropped an atomic bomb on your city. I mean, the change has just been extremely rapid. And I think the question of when to move, people are starting to now really speed up this exodus. You know, the numbers from the real estate companies are a huge exodus. If you look at the price of a U-Haul from Seattle to Boise, it's about 10 times more than the price from a U-Haul

from boys to saddle, suggesting a huge outflow. And, you know, a friend of mine who's a pillar of the Jewish community in Seattle, you know, as you mentioned, he says, you know, all of the, my community, the kind of conservative Jews in Seattle, we're now meeting very often, trying to say, when is the time that we actually leave? And he said something I thought was very astute. He said, you know, as Jews, we have a special instinct for when things are about to go bad. and those sentiments, those feelings, those premonitions,

they're now firing at an extremely rapid rate, and people are making plans either to leave Seattle for another city, for an outlying area, and some of the folks are saying it's gotten so bad, we're actually thinking about going to Israel. Well, Israel, I mean, if the times of the seasons are what I think they are, Israel's not going to be a very safe place either, but at least they'll stand there. Would you mind putting us in touch with him?

I'd like to talk to him about that because this is a very unique time period. And I think people of all religions really need to wake up, especially with what happened with John Roberts this weekend. When they don't recognize the First Amendment that sets it completely apart from the government, I don't know what's coming. So tell me more about this document that you found. The community supports meeting. Tell me the highlights of this document. So this is a document that comes from the King County Executive's Office and really provides the theoretical basis for the executive's plan

to really just completely and permanently shut down the largest jail with no plans to replace it. And it basically looks kind of like a hybrid of a university lecture on critical race theory. or a diversity training and kind of a very progressive company. But it has kind of a chart in a pyramid that says underneath the justice system are the thing that is foundational to the justice system in Seattle and in the United States is white racism, white supremacy, white fragility, and a whole other series of kind of the buzzwords that have been circulating lately.

And then it goes up the pyramid. And then at some point they say, you know, when criminal offenders offend, it's actually the fault of society, not that criminal offender. And the logic is, well, if you have a racist society that, in essence, forces people, especially people of color to commit crimes, if you abolish the institutions of the carcernal system, if you abolish the jails, if you abolish the police, if you abolish the municipal courts, those people will stop offending. because their oppression has been lifted. And, I mean, it's absurd. It doesn't work in practice at all and gets the causality so skewed. It's hard to even understand on logical grounds. But this is the kind of pseudo-scientific, kind of pseudo-academic nonsense that is driving the

decision-making at the highest levels of government in Seattle and Portland, New York, elsewhere. And it's really shocking because they're really boiling down a very complex social problem, crime. To just, you know, white people are evil, and they've set up these evil institutions that force people to do wrong, and their only solution. It's not reform at this point. For many years, it was about criminal justice reform. They've moved well beyond that in very rapid succession to do criminal justice. abolition. And, you know, my last thing I'd say is that you had three weeks ago cutting the

police department 50 percent, this week cutting the jails by 60 percent. And my sources in city government are saying the next target is to get rid of the municipal courts almost altogether. Jeez. And what do you have instead? So they're basically saying that we are not going to prosecute or bring to the courts any misdemeanors and will bump up felonies to the county court system. So they're really looking to essentially eliminate criminal penalties and the criminal process for, you know, really the vast majority of crimes and only prosecute the most serious crimes, the most violent crimes at the county level. So this is something that I had heard rumblings about two years ago. Activists were

agitating, but I was told this is something that is, uh, far-fetch. It's not going to happen. It's just a few people. But it's very quickly capitalizing on the chaos of the coronavirus shutdown, capitalizing on the death of George Floyd. These are people who have been laying the groundwork for years. And now they're really seizing this opportunity to push forward. And unfortunately, when you shut down the jails, you fire 50% of your cops, and you abolish the courts, those are almost irreversible decisions. So it really is a very dangerous period for these cities. What are the business owners saying?

Because at some point, even the most liberal business owner has got to say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Somebody comes in and shoplift. Somebody comes in and does something in my store. I've got to have some police. Yeah, I mean, business owners are apoplectic. They have been fighting kind of headwinds in Seattle for many years. And it really started with kind of economic policies, taxes, minimum wage.

Those are kind of your traditional business versus labor fights, right? These are been the kind of mainstream battleground between business and labor organizations. And there was a sense, looking back in retrospect, a naive sense, that, well, this is really as bad as they can make it. They can raise the minimum wage, they can put in kind of owner as scheduling laws, they can increase the property taxes on business owners. But now business owners are finding themselves in a real whole new terrain. I know that in downtown Seattle right now, there are entire blocks that have been boarded up for two months. I mean, businesses that are saying, you know, the risk of getting looted,

the risk of getting ransacked, the risk of getting burned down is a greater risk than just shutting down and going to zero revenue for the perceived future. So this is really catastrophic, and the business trade groups, they're predicting that maybe up to 50% of all restaurants in downtown Seattle may never come back. So this is a really frightening thing.

And then if they do come back, and there are 50% of the police officers on the street, it's going to be an absolute nightmare. And my friends and sources within the police department say, if these cuts go forward, they're going to have no proactive policing, and they're going to have a limited number of officers basically bouncing from emergency call to emergency call to emergency call. And it could be sometimes up to two hours before an officer can show up at the scene of a crime. Real quick, because I have to take a network break. Is there any chance that the chief of police runs for higher office? I mean, she seems to be striking a cord with a lot of people where she's just coming out.

She's apologizing and saying, look, I have nothing to do with this. And Seattle, you're on your own. I wish I could help. But I can't. I can't. Is she looked on as reasonable or not reasonable? She's looked on that very reasonable. And I think what's happening is increasingly, a chief of police, Carmen Best. She's a longtime SPD officer, moved up the ranks and is now chief. She's seen as the only thing standing between the city and the mob. I mean, she's really the last kind of bastion of hope for the city of Seattle. And I know that rank and file officers, as well as some of the political power brokers who are in the more kind of center-left, moderate. camp. They're encouraging her to consider a run. The mayor's race is next year,

it's an off-year election. And I think that she can run on a very clear platform as standing up to the mob, standing up to the radicals. And I, for one, absolutely hope that she considers it.

10 seconds, station I.e. I was supposed to be in today. And at 8.30 last night, I get a call from my doctor. And he says, you're not going anywhere, pal. What do you mean? Your family has COVID. Oh, geez. So apparently somehow or another, we got COVID.

I mean, we had that special, but that was over a month ago. And everybody got COVID last week. They were dropping like flies. But I got to tell you, if this is what COVID is like, and I know there are serious cases and blah, blah, blah. But if this is what COVID is like for the average person, I wouldn't. Even none of us would have even gone to the doctor for this. It ended. It was like two days.

It was a bad cold and then a fever and a headache. And then it went away. And everybody is on the mend. But now we have to quarantine ourselves for two weeks. I still have, I'm the only one. The grandchildren didn't get it. And I didn't get it. And my doc is like, you know, I don't understand.

I'm like, look, man, you, you have. have to work for a body like this. This is a machine, okay? I've eaten so much ice cream and pie lately. You don't think COVID wants to live in this body, do you? No. But I'm on the regiment. The whole family is now on the regimen of hydroxychloroquine, yes, zinc, baby aspirin, so you don't get blood clots in your lungs. And, uh, the steroids. that you inhale for your lungs. And, uh, I mean, I, I don't even feel like I need it. And nobody else does either in the family.

We're, like everybody's fine. I'm, I'm thinking about having like a chicken pox party. Come over to my house. You want the most mild strain of COVID. This is the one you get. I mean, you know, if you're old or infirm, I'm going to have to charge you extra and you're going to have to sign a release. But everybody else, I mean, my kids will lick their hands and

put it on your face. It'll be great. You'll get COVID two days out. You got the antibodies. You're fine. What are we doing? What are we doing closing this entire country down? Gosh, do, are we, are we really this much of a baby? Oh boy. Oh boy. Stu looks, still looks mad at me. All right. We'll get into it next. ZipRecruiter. Hiring employees is challenging during the best of times. You know, if you take a peek out of the, the window lately these are not the best of times and on top of all the other difficulties trying to find the best person for the job during the era of COVID-19 means there's uh you know there's nothing you don't know anything whether you can even open your doors again um you don't know when it's

safe and there's a lot of really qualified people that are making more money from the government sitting on their ass than they can you know by working would be great if somebody would come along and lift some of that burden off of your shoulders, maybe give you a little space to breathe, and be able to put the right amount of thought into the next hire before committing to it.

Who's keeping us clothes? Who's keeping his clothes? Well, you know, when the Supreme Court won't even take up, the First Amendment violation of the state saying that churches have to have only 50 people.

I don't I don't I don't understand it that is a constitutionally protected right a separation of church and state that everybody always dreams about it does it only work one way no it was meant to protect the religion yeah fully it was meant to protect the gun right and it was also meant to protect the state because some religions would say oh no you've got to be a you know you've got to be a you've got to be a Quaker. You got to look like the Quaker Oatsman to be able to be president. And so, no, separation in church and state, you don't have, they don't have anything to do with each other. And the First Amendment makes it clear you cannot tell churches what to do. And yet they are. And John Roberts folds yet again. John Roberts, stop saying, stop being surprised every time.

He sides and John Roberts sides with the liberals. No, he is one. Yes, that is who he. is one. Central. Let's just stop. Yeah, that's totally agree. That's certainly no criticism from me on that point.

I put John Roberts into the douche Hall of Fame 10 years ago. So I have no problem with the John Roberts criticism. I think there's a, right. And again, I've never argued for shutdowns or anything like that. I think there's a, there seems to be no one in the position where you can take this thing seriously and not want to shut down the economy. And it's like, well, I think both of those things are true. shouldn't be shutting down the economy, and you also should be taking it seriously.

As I know, you have for a very long time as the nation's, I think, first guy in America to do a coronavirus special back in early February. I mean, you were talking about the, you do are daily updates of this thing before anyone had any cases in this country. And what did I say? What did I say? This real, the real trouble from coronavirus will be the collapsing of the health care system. So we have to make sure that we don't collapse the health care.

system and the real problem will be the effects on the economy yeah and that's without any government intervention that was just because people would say i'm not going to a restaurant i'm not doing any of these things but all of this politicizes it politicization yeah making this political yeah has made it has made it so much worse i don't understand how a mask did you hear about the the woman in San Diego that approached a couple eating a picnic with their children in the park. They're in the park, open air. This woman walks by and says, you're not wearing masks. And the wife looks up, because the husband, I'm sure, just wanted a choker.

The wife looks up and says, no, well, we're eating right now. And you don't have to wear masks. if you're eating, it would make it very difficult. Think about a cheese sandwich through a strainer. It doesn't work. And so the woman leaves, comes back with mace and maces these people in the face. That's healthier than not wearing the mask. Yeah.

Do we have it? Do we have it? Play it, Sarah. You cannot be serious. You just, you just maced him? You just. You just maced him. You just mazed him?

You just mazed him. You're taping. Don't worry. That's wrong, man. I'm not going to. That's not okay. This is not her. That is not okay.

Not okay. What's wrong with you, lady? That is wrong. You can't go wrong. I want to get there. This is her car. There's somebody. Don't worry.

I got it. You weren't defending yourself, lady. And I've got this. Did she hurt her? I didn't do it. what defending herself it was it was craziness this craziness since when did have americans become this since when you know a black man shot and killed because he was wearing a trump hat this weekend where where's where's that where is that how

is it that we have turned into people that we don't even we don't even we don't even hydroxychloroquine, which I'm now on. And by the way, you can't talk about this because you have never had COVID. I have. So hydroxychloroquine, when did that become all about politics? I mean, I know when it did. The minute Donald Trump talked about it, but we're not even talking about science anymore. We're not talking about being rational anymore.

You just hate people. They just hate people. And if you don't go their way, they'll do whatever they can and they think they can get away with it. And you know why they think they can get away with it? Because they're getting away with it. I mean, if you want to talk about the Bubba effect in full blast, you're seeing the makings of it. The government is not stepping up and doing anything about things that everyone knows. Everyone knows take politics away.

And everyone knows these things. are wrong and should be stopped. And nobody's doing anything. Yeah. No, it's so strange to the things that have become these bizarre political issues. Hydroxychloroquine is a great example. The masks are a great example. I mean, Glenn, I can go back to January and February when you were on the air talking about, hey, guys, like, why do doctors wear masks if they don't work?

Right. And the end is when the government is like, oh, no, they don't. They don't wear, they don't do anything. It's actually going to make it worse. And they went through this whole thing. And we all sat here going, that's obviously not right. We all understand that that's not right. And then the government decided to say, oh, now, now you do have to wear masks all the time.

And now a lot of people are saying, well, no, I will never wear a mask because the government told me to wear it. The government shouldn't be mandating these things. Your standard of proof as the government to mandate a safety measure should be incredibly high. I mean, I don't even know if there is a level that I'm comfortable with, but even if you're a normal non, you know, nationally. Right. This should not be something that should happen unless you have massively high standard of evidence. And for masks, there's some evidence that shows that they're helpful.

There's no evidence that shows that they're universally a cure, which is the way the media now treats them because Donald Trump didn't wear a mask a few times. So you have to take the opposite position of it. And the other thing is like as a personal, as a personal safety measure, your standard of evidence for help should be low, right? If you think there's a chance that it will work and it's not really going to inconvenience you, you probably should wear one. However, you know, the government should never be mandating something like this with the level of evidence they have for something like that.

And these things become the same thing with hydroxychloroquine. Like, to say the media has to take this stance because Donald Trump mentioned it, the media has to take this stance that it does absolutely no good for anyone. And so they only highlight the studies that show that there's not, all that much help from a hydroxychloroquine, though there are studies that do show there is help for certain people. So why wouldn't we instead try to take this on an individual level with our doctors who say,

okay, I believe this will help you, try it, instead of this insane culture war thing that we're doing, don't we just want to not have people get sick and die? Isn't that supposedly our entire... No, I don't think so. It's not even a uniting thing, Glenn. That's insanity. Yeah, I don't, I really don't think that that is the goal of many people in power.

I really don't. I think their goal is to divide, divide, divide, destroy and divide. And they'll use anything, anything in their power. You know, look, this happened with the mask because the federal government and those in the progressive or Marxist world, they don't believe in people. They don't believe in Americans. They believe Americans are greedy. and white and it's therefore bad. And so what did they do?

When they needed the masks at the hospital, they told you a lie. They told you that they don't work. That was a lie. I told you that was a lie. Why, if they don't work, why are they rushing them to the hospitals? Of course they work. They're lying to you.

They don't believe you'll do the right thing. Instead, the federal government should have said, look, America, we need all the masks we can get. This is the front line. Please, if you have masks, if you can find masks, send them to us. And we would have. And then when they would have had masks for everybody in the hospitals, which they do now, then they can come out and say, okay, masks are available for everybody.

Thank you for those who, you know, did help. No thanks to those who didn't help. but hey, it's America. You can be a jerk if you want. And that's what they should have done. The same thing with the quarantine. Nobody should be telling you what to do. Why do you think that the virus is spreading?

It's spreading because it generally doesn't hit the youth. So who's at the bars on a Friday night? Do you think it's a bunch of 50-year-olds? We're all so beat tired that we're not going out on 2 o'clock at the bar scene. unless we're alcoholics. And I will say too, Glenn, not a lot of Republican voters out there at the bars at 23 years old. That group is voting about 90% Democrat, and yet red states are the ones being blamed for the spread of the disease. Correct. Correct.

So you have these red state voters who are all in colleges, and they're all off a college, and they're all going to the bar and the club scene, and they're all hooking up. What do you think? And why is that happening? because they know it doesn't affect generally speaking them. They have an easier time of getting through it. And so people make the judgment, I'm going to get through it, especially if you've never been asked to not be selfish your entire life.

When you have never been told that there is something great about this country that we all rise to the highest level, when we are in trouble we all answer the call if you've never been taught that if you've never been asked to do that it's always about you you you and what you want your little baby cry rooms and everything else what do you think they're going to do help no they're not going to help they're going to lecture they're going to protest and they'll point the finger but they're not going to help and why why are they going out because they've never been told they couldn't do they they they've never been told they couldn't do anything they've never been told

about a shared sacrifice unless it's a Marxist telling them that and the Marxists are telling them that because the Marxists are now trying it to bring everybody together in chaos and what is all of this doing creating more chaos and more division and what are we doing we're staying at home because of a virus that I'm sorry these things have happened since man was on the earth. It's been happening through men. It's been happening through the animal kingdom, and it's going to happen again. And yes, we should do everything we can, but we should not tube the Western way of life for this. We shouldn't tube it. We should be protecting the most vulnerable. The people who are most likely to have this, to be. Tobe it. We should be protecting the most vulnerable.

the people who are most likely to have this, to get this, have compromised immune systems, are elderly, et cetera, et cetera. But the youth, they're out in the bars. Why? Because they don't care if they get sick, because they're most likely not going to die. So why are we quarantining everyone,

when we should be quarantining just the people who are the most likely to get sick? I'll tell you why. We're not opening schools, because look at the demands of the school unions, the teachers unions. They're asking for redistribution of wealth. They're asking to teach black lives matter nonsense. They are on a Marxist rampage.

And the longer we don't return to who we are, the less likely it will be that we'll even recognize what reality is when we do come back. if we come back. Back in just a second. I'm sorry, this is a baby aspirin talking. So heft up on baby aspirin right now, I can tell you. All right, you want to feel safe? If you're living in Seattle, you're living in Portland,

Is there anything? I, I, I don't know about you, but I, there are so many things that I dare not say. yet. It is really important for us to recognize the times in which we live and and prepare our families and our children for these unbelievable, I think, biblical times. and just prepare your family for whatever comes, because there's going to be tremendous evil, and there's going to be tremendous good as well. And we just have to make sure that all of us are on the side of tremendous good. And that tremendous good is most likely going to be the quiet, peaceful ones.

Today, the body of John Lewis is arriving right now in D.C.

His body is going to lay in state, and we are laying in a state of complete confusion and violence in many of our cities. The media fails to recognize any of this. We're going to tell you the truth of what's going on. And somebody who seems to be mad at me a little bit, Kathy, she's in Minnesota, and she's upset because she says, today, I'm down playing COVID. I'm not down. I don't think I'm down playing COVID, but we'll get her point of view here in just a second. If you've missed any of the show today, you've missed a lot. My family has COVID.

I apparently, I have not gotten it, or I did, and it was so light, and I don't know, but I've been quarantine with my family now for the next two weeks until we get this down. So I can speak because every family member has had COVID now, except for me and my two grandchildren. We're going to talk to Kathy about her situation in 60 seconds. Stand by. This is the Glenn Beck program. Somewhere in America within the sound of my voice, there is a man with a razor sharp blade listening with pleasure as it slices cleanly through the flesh of an onion. Around him the air is filled with the sound of delightful things sizzling. Here and there, light clouds of aromic smoke rising to the ceiling like an ancient holy sacrifice, and the busy

staff swarm about the kitchen and kind of a choreographed miracle. This is his restaurant. He's waited for this restaurant for a long time. He built the business from the ground with his own hard work and brute determination, and thank God he's one of the lucky ones that survived. And on Man this chef believes in a handshake and a man's word still means something and when he strolls through the kitchen on the nights he's not cooking himself surveying the kingdom and sampling the various dishes to make sure that it's all just perfect he does so in a comfortable and stylish pair of Toccova's boots because like him they exude integrity it takes 200 steps to make them by hand he likes to do it that way and he likes his boots being done that way You will too.

Western goods for your frontier. All right, Kathy's in Minnesota. Hello, Kathy. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Oh, hello, Glenn.

First of all, I just want to make sure you're not assuming I'm a liberal because I'm from Minnesota. No, no, no. I am a conservative. No, I know that there are some... Yeah, yeah, I bet you are. I know there are some right-minded people. I'm a state red. So, first of all, before we get into your call, tell me what it is like to be a conservative to live in Minnesota.

Where do you live? What city? It's hard. And what is it like? I can't speak freely. especially at work. I actually don't even go there at work. I work with some local powerful doctors,

so I don't want to go there. But the only place I feel safe is among my Catholic community. And we just had a picnic last night with the Knights of Columbus, and it was so refreshing to sit and just talk about pro-life and talk about, you know, I'm primarily. part of the pro-life committee at our church. And it just felt so good like, I'm free, I'm free. So it's hard.

It's not easy. Yeah. Especially I live in Minneapolis. I'm not in the city, thank God. What are the property values doing around there? What's that? What are the property values doing around there? Well, they're leaving Minneapolis in droves is what I'm hearing.

And sadly, they're not going to get their value out of their homes. But the police aren't helping them. They're just helpless. It's sad. That's what I'm hearing. Moving out to the suburbs. Yeah. It's been sad.

I haven't driven down there yet. I want to. My daughter was down there for the guard for the week. She's a medic and the Minnesota National Guard. Thank God she's safe. But, yeah, it's been hard. Plus, it all originated here, which makes it, you know, very difficult. Yeah.

You're kind of the floor. of this event. You know what I mean? Florida and the 2000 election. We knew. We knew. And we know now about Minnesota. So anyway, you wanted to talk to me about coronavirus. Go ahead. Yeah. So I mentioned I am a nurse, and I actually, because I don't trust the media,

anything that puts, you know, President Trump in a positive light is not reported. And I wasn't taken seriously. Even though I work at a hospital, I saw him pull. up the temporary morgue outside our doors. I mean, just the whole bit. But my niece and my nephew and his wife, they're in Oklahoma City, but they got it. Their young 20s. But my niece, she is at least six, seven weeks out and still has not got her taste or smell back. And my nephew, his is about 40 to 60 percent back. And I was like, it just really hit me, you know, that she's scared. You know, when you can't taste and enjoy food that, you know, she's scared.

And I thought, you know, Kathy, you've got to take a step back. And I just, I'm not upset with you at all. I just sometimes, I just worry that it may sound too light, not to look at the other side of it as well. But that's the only thing. No, but we do look at the other side. We look at the other side all the time. I'm telling you that the strain that my family has had, and I know there are different strains and I know there are different people. I am my doctor is concerned because I have a

immune disorder and he's like you're a target and I'm like I'm fine so far but everybody in my family has had it. It was two days. They describe it as a cold with a fever and said it was nothing. Now that's the strain that my family had. I've never seen anything take every single member of the family. I mean everybody got sick within five days, four days. And I was surprised by that. But far as what I saw, now I know it's different and different strains, but, you know, we have to take it seriously, but we also have to know we're all going to get it. We're all going to get it. Yeah.

I mean, it's just going to happen. So, Kathy, thank you so much for your phone call. Well, that led me to one thing on the medications you were talking about. part of the aspirin is for blood thinning because it had also caused blood clots so I didn't know I just want to make sure you knew that yeah no I knew it wasn't for pain because I couldn't handle baby aspirin I mean for pain that's that's way too much for me but the yeah no it's for blood clotting which I think is is brilliant and I mean what did you think of the doctor has me on hydroxychloroquine baby aspirin zinc and the inhalation suspension of Bousessanide or something like that Budesonide Do you know anything about that?

Oh, she's gone. She didn't want to give me... I got it. I got it. Okay. I mean, you're the doctor here. I don't know. As far as I know,

she just works in a hospital. Yeah. Well, I feel great confidence with my doctor. My doctor has been all over this and he knew exactly what to call in. And I felt good. It's the first time I've ever gotten a diagnosis, as though at 8.30 at night on a Sunday, which was, you know, I guess kind of nice, shows that

they're working hard to get it done. Ed, in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Welcome. Holy cow. Glenn, how are you? Very good. How are you? Yes, are you there, Ed? Yes, so I am. I just wanted to call it with some good news, you know, all this COVID talk and, you know, I did while listening Live, vote for you for the Radio Hall of Fame. Wow. You did. Nice. You did.

I did. Now... Yes, sir. No, I mean, it had to be a tough choice between me and the NPR people. It was the hardest choice they had to have had to make. Yeah, I know. I know. I wanted to take a nap. I wanted to take a nap. Yeah.

You know? Anyway, I wanted to take a nap. I wanted to take a nap. I wanted to, like I told us, the call screen, and I wanted to tell you why I voted for, you know, why you deserve this. And I love the no ego. All the personalities come on your show. Stu, you know, he goes on his rants and everybody talks. You give everybody their time. And you thank Hillary, four minute a buzz.

It's just amazing what you do there. It's amazing. Well, thank you. The thanking of Hillary, I think is what put him over the top for me. I think so, too. I think so, too. Not Hillary Clinton. I try to do your power hour, but I fell out about, I guess, around minute three.

That's understandable. This show always does. It always sounds better when drunk. That is a long-term thing. It was when Glenn was drunk back in the day. It was always great. It was so much better. It was so, because I just love everybody.

If you don't know what we're talking about, today is the first day. How long is this last? God help us. A week or something where you can vote for Radio Hall of Fame, narrow down, I think, to four different people. If I lose to NPR, I think I'm going to hang myself. And it won't be funny. I know this audience will vote for NPR just because they'll think it's funny that I lost to NPR.

It won't be funny. It won't be. Last year, might have been funny. I'm the Susan Lucci of the Radio Hall of Fame. You go to radiovote.com. Radiovote.com. You can vote. I guess it goes to August 9th.

So you got a couple weeks here. But get it done. You can do one vote per email address. Radiovote.com. And if I don't win this year, I'm going to start Glenn's radio statue matters. And we'll just take it. We'll just take it. I'll just go to I miss his house.

He's got one. He's not doing anything. We'll just take it. Anyway, thank you so much, and you can vote this week, you know, or not, but I would appreciate it. Let me welcome somebody to the family of radio stations. I want to mention this because, you know, a lot of times radio stations will say, you know, America, 1170, you know, freedom 940. It's a marketing thing. We're welcoming Freedom 1160 AM WCXI.

It's in Detroit, Michigan. What a time to begin this program in Detroit. And the reason why I wanted to point it out and thank them so much for their affiliation is because Seema Beratch is the owner of this station. He is the guy who was brought in by the, Lee Ayacocca. Lee Ayacocca sponsored him to become an American.

And I have to tell you, it is people like this that are, they know what we have to lose. They, they get it more than more, I think, than really anybody else.

He left Serbia and was brought into the United States. And he is a proud American and we are thrilled to be on his radio station. So thank you so much for for putting us on the air and sponsoring us at 1160 AM WCXI in Detroit, Michigan. All right, I want to take a quick break and then we'll come back more of your phone calls and some news of the day in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Dog Days of Summer are here. Oh my gosh, Texas.

Coming back to Texas from Idaho, it is so hot here. It is so high. Who's outside? Yesterday I'm like, okay, I don't care if it's COVID or not. I'm going to fake the doctors telling me to stay in the house for the next two. Crap, did I just say that out loud? It is so hot. The last thing I want to do is barbecue.

The last thing I want to do is cook my food outside unless you have a rec tech. because the great thing about rec tech is their smart grill technology it allows you to put everything out you put it on you put a sensor in the meat and then you turn it on and it allows you to control everything from your iPhone so you can control it from your iPhone what I'm saying to you is you get to stay indoors and it will control everything for you and it's built like a I mean like a battleship man this thing is just great The grill does all of the work while you're inside enjoying the air conditioning. Follow rec tech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter.

My goodness. I'm just so hepped up on baby aspirin right now. I just, uh, whew. Anyway, let me go to Jeff in Virginia. Hello, Jeff. Hey, Glenn. How you doing, sir? Good.

Hey, I just wanted to call in. I've been watching all morning talking about you, having possibly the COVID and taking all those medications. And just wanted to share my experience. Back in January, the third week, it was the 27th, to be exact. I had PE, formulary embolism. I don't know if you know what that is. No.

I thought it up so bad. I collapsed. I went down. I was on my job as a courier, and I was in Tennessee, and the great people down there rushed me to a hospital, brought me, you know, back. They went and did their thing. And the doctors were puzzled. They kept me in the ICU for about a three days, just watching me. And make a long story short, they came to conclusion that, I just bug plodded real badly. I did over hear some people talking about the COVID, did not be testing everybody because they didn't have any way to test everybody. I'm fine, I'm good. Now in hindsight, you're not. I'm good. Now in hindsight, you're look back and you see what the doctor is saying, I have no doubt that that wasn't the COVID on me at that time. This was before President Trump announced and shut the board. He was already here. I really think it was already here. No, I think it was already here. And I think a lot of people have had it and just didn't realize it. I mean, we honestly, if it wasn't for all of the hype and us being responsible and not wanting to get other people sick, we wouldn't even have tested for it. We wouldn't have tested for it because it was so mild in our family.

Everybody had a fever. Everybody had a headache. But the congestion wasn't bad or anything. And the entire family got it. Boom. One day, one person was sick. The next two, then three, then four. I mean, it was, it swept to the family quickly.

But by Saturday, everybody was well again. And, you know, is that COVID? I thought it was because it had a lot. all the symptoms, but it was so mild. I'm like, why even test for it? What it is, I mean, what's the point of testing at that point if everybody has had it? And it's, I think it's something that before COVID became COVID, I bet you a lot of people had it and stayed at home and, you know, or went to the doctor and they didn't know

what it was. They just treated it like a flu and it passed and everybody was fine. And that's the problem, Stu. How do you get to the point to where you know that most people are going to be fine with it? So how do we get, if we don't get herd immunity, how are we ever going to deal with this? Well, I mean, obviously the best case scenario would be a treatment, right? Like we have a lot of diseases that would run rampant in our society if we didn't have treatments. We're hopefully getting closer and closer to that.

They seem incredibly optimistic about it, you know, which is... I know. It's more optimistic than I am. I mean, the experts are more optimistic than I am on an actual vaccine or treatment coming through. But we've already seen, as you have, Glenn, right in front of you, multiple examples of improved treatments, right? There's a lot of things at the beginning of this that they were doing that they're no longer doing. And in like, for example, the breathable steroid thing is a relatively new development that seems to make a real difference. if they catch it at the right time.

It makes total sense. Yeah. So, which is great. Makes total sense. Yeah. I mean, I keep, we keep joking about Pepsid, but that's actually another one too they're looking into. Pepsid early in treatment they think could actually do something, which is bizarre. Why?

Why? You have any idea? Do you have any idea? Well, the way, you know, because hydroxychloroquine is the way it works, basically. I always think of it as like, you know, a Christmas story where all the dogs from next door keep coming through the doggy door. that's like the spikes of the of the coronavirus and they keep coming into they keep coming in and the way they get the way your cells fight that off is to essentially spray it with acid this is a terrible non-medical description but this is how I think of it so far so far I wish the more doctors would talk like this yeah so you know that movie yeah no movie so but think of it you know another 80s movie you know gremlins would come in through if they came in you couldn't get them wet remember this that was one of the rules because they would multiply The problem is that the coronavirus likes the acid that gets squirted at it. So it basically multiplies what hydroxychloroquine does is turn off that response.

So that's why they were so optimistic about hydroxychloroquine at the beginning, turning acid off. Well, I would assume that there's some, with Pepsid being that's basically its function, right, is not giving you acid reflux and indigestion and all of these things. That it's probably related. That's probably why they tried it in the first place. However, I don't, I mean, if we come down to the end of this thing and they're like, ah, we had just all taken Pepsid, this would have all gone away. I'm going to be really pissed. That is going to get me very angry. Yeah, if we flush the, the entire culture that created and gave us the opportunity to have Pepsid, I'm going to be a little pissed. I'm going to be a little upset about that. Yeah. I'm going to be. I'm going to be up to here. It'll be suboptimal. Suboptimal is a great, great word to describe that. Yes. it's uh it's it's not good by the way if my doctor would have talked like that a couple of weeks ago

when i was passing the kidney stone and he would have said okay you ever see indiana jones the first one with the big rock right with the big rock coming down that's your fallopian tube or whatever it is that the kidney stone has to if you have a philopian tube we have a larger discussion to have here this afternoon men can have fallopian tubes too don't deny it it, Stu, don't deny it. Michael lives in Arizona, and he had a major problem. Not only was he suffering at one point from

stiffness that comes along from a lot of years of hard work and age beginning to catch up on him, but the stiffness was also giving him debilitating headaches. He tried everything he could try. There were days when he felt deep despair thinking, things aren't ever going to get better. Boy, do I know those

feelings, Michael. I remember the time when I was I was worried that I would not be able to button my own shirts again. Thank God, Michael, I never gave up. And thank God you never gave up. And we both tried Relief Factor. Well, you know how this story ends? He decided to give it a shot within a few weeks.

The headaches, most of the pain was gone. The headaches and most of the pain, Michael got his life back. And so can you. Relief Factor, not a drug. Developed by doctors and 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more because it works. The three-week quick start trial pack, try it now for 1995.

it's RadioVote.com. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Let me go to Kara in Florida. 888-7-27-B-E-C-K is the number. Hello, Kara. Hi, how are you doing today? I'm very good. I'm very good. Good. I'm so glad I get to talk to you. I've been listening to you all the way back since Fox News and you've taught me and my kids so much. We want to thank you. Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Sure. Wondering about this coin shortages that we're having. I don't think I've ever in my life had coins that were

not available. Are we moving into a cashless society? Yes, but I don't think that's what this is all about. I'm not sure. I honestly have not spent the time looking at the coin shortage. I've been looking at the dollar abundance and been researching some other things. But the short answer on the coin shortage, I don't know why we're going through this right now. Longer answer for you, really the root of your question, are we going to a cashless society? We absolutely are going to a cashless society. But it will take the collapse of the U.S. dollar to bring us to that. And we're going to most likely go back to a gold standard, at least for a while. Then it will all be digitized and, you know, the banks will close. And we've done this before. Unfortunately, we did this just before World War II in the Great Depression. And this is what happens when you go off the gold standard, as we did in 73, Stu, or 71 with Nixon. Gold has just gone through a record spike again.

It just passed the September 2011 price of $1,943. dollars. It's almost up to 2000 and I'll tell you it is I think is going to continue to go through the roof as we go into the fall and then some and you don't want to know what the world is like when we have when we have gold at 2000, three thousand, five thousand dollars an ounce. It's nobody's hoping for that. Thank you so much for your phone call. There's also an aluminum shortage. Is there now? There's a lot of shortages of different things because the factories aren't open. There is a shortage from what I understand of sheet rock, of building in some in some places. I know that I had to pour some concrete a couple of weeks ago,

and I paid three times the price of concrete because we can't get the coal ash? What kind of ash is it that they put in? They could tell you anything to charge you three times the cost. I know. I know. And they probably did. Yes, sir. Sorry, the coal ash is out. So therefore. Yeah. No, there's something that they add into it. So they don't have to add so much sand. And right now the stuff that I poured was, you know, had real sand and a lot of real sand. And sand is, we're running out of sand. And I've talked about this for the last couple of years and nobody seems to be concerned about it. It's a really big deal. You can't make sand.

We can't get the sand from the desert because that is smooth on all sides. The sand that we can use only really comes from oceans and the bottom of rivers where it's just been broken and it's all jagged so it locks together. And we run out of sand. we run out of a lot of things, a lot of things. And nobody thinks about it. What's the deal on the aluminum? We're running out of aluminum cans now, right? Yeah, and on the coins, it seems like they, they, less people going out and having, you know, face-to-face transactions is stopping the circulation of these coins.

People are just, you know, keeping them at home. And the mint has turned down the amount of coins they're making because of coronavirus and the short, you know, lowering staff numbers. So that is apparently what's causing the coin shortage. All right. So it's going out. People make change and then they get that change and then they just keep it at home. They're bringing it home. So it's not circulating.

Yeah. It's not cycling through. Yeah. So that's the, the aluminum thing is interesting because they're having, usually like, you know, you're selling beer, let's say, in a keg. Well, they're still selling plenty of beer. That has not been one of the industries that's been hard hit by the coronavirus. People are still finding the way to buy their alcohol, oddly.

Yeah. But they're taking, instead of selling it in kegs, they're selling it in individual cans for people at home. So they're running low on aluminum. It's why, apparently also why some soda flavors have been, you know, not really been seen on shelves in a while because they are trying to go to their core flavors. This is killing us, guys. This is, this is what I was talking about. We're losing the Western way of life. and we can't have any flavor of soda we want.

We've gone too far. We have. We're not coming back. Yes, it's true. We're not coming back. Also, Glenn, a big one today is the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball, of course, have now have 12 players that have tested positive over the past couple of days. They have canceled their home opener.

Also, they were just playing, I think, the Phillies. And the Phillies now have canceled their next game as well, because they want to see who's going to tell. test positive, but they believe, you know, but now I think it's 12 players and two coaches on the Marlins at least. And this is the thing where the NBA has decided to kind of put everybody under a bubble at Disneyland and not really let anyone go anywhere. Major League Baseball's, I just decided to not put fans in the stands and are still kind of traveling around. And they've been criticized for that approach, whether it lasts or not, who knows, but already four days,

four days into the season, we're seeing a real threat to the league already. They're wondering how long they're going to... I mean, if a team has to not play, an entire team drops out, are they going to, you know, are they going to cancel the season? There's already talk about that. I don't know that they're going to go that far.

How do you survive? Yeah. How does Major League Baseball survive something like this? I mean, it's not like they have a, you know, a low-cost service that they're providing. Yeah. I mean, because it's the, canceling the season is very bad for baseball, right? The worst case scenario, though, is starting the season, going through all of that set up, all of the expense, and then not getting any of the revenue out of the television rights that they were expecting.

If they have to start it and then stop it this quickly, this would be obviously a massive disaster, but they're just like every other business in America, right? Every other business is having to deal with this same stuff. and they are, I mean, if this goes down this quickly, it's going to be one of the, I mean, it's going to be catastrophic and historic in its nature. I mean, no one's ever seen anything like this. If you happen to have opening day tickets for any baseball game, any major league game, if you have just won, please send it to me for our collection and our museum. You should keep one. It's it's quite a historic thing to have a ticket to opening, you know, the opening games in the middle of the summer in this, in this COVID era. So please, if you have one and you don't mind sending it to us to preserve, please send it to us.

And we should be clear here. You know, coronavirus can be very dangerous. there's only one known cure, which is, of course, attending a Black Lives Matter rally. If you can get to a rally that will wipe out the coronavirus completely. And that's the only way you can do it.

So if you want to go out there and you'll be all Lives Matter, you're going to get coronavirus. If your Black Lives Matter, you're going to be totally fine. As long as you embrace Marxism, everything should be good. Everything should be good.

Some people do die of Black Lives Matter, the COVID strain. You know, a lot of people died over this weekend. All of them in those riots, all of them that were injured or killed, all COVID. I don't know if you know, because there's a very peaceful rally that we're happening all over the country this weekend. Stu, we are 100 days away from the election. Yeah, I heard 99. And it doesn't feel, yeah, it might be 99.

It may be 100 yesterday. it doesn't feel like this election is even happening. Your thought at 100 days out. I agree. It does not feel like it's happening yet. I still kind of, you know, there's multiple reasons to explain Joe Biden's lead. And it's not a questionable lead. It's a lead that's significant and bigger than it was against Hillary Clinton.

But there are reasons for that, of course. I think that you have typically 100 days out, polls aren't all that accurate. You have that. You have the unforeseen circumstance. God only knows. I mean, you have to believe at least aliens are going to invade before the election happens. If not 10 other things we've never thought were possible.

Something is going to happen that's going to totally turn this away from what we think this election is going to be, whether you think it's going to be about coronavirus or the economy or Black Lives Matter or whatever you think. There's going to be 10 other things. So those are, but those are normal, normal things to think about 100 days out. There can always be a massive event that can switch things over. And, you know, polls, you can't look at them and lock them in this early. The difference to me, though, because those things are there and possible, but I would not be very confident if I were Donald Trump looking at the polls, even with those two possibilities out there. The third one, though, I think is more significant, which is just this year is totally different.

than any other election we've ever faced. To the point of Glenn, we don't even know what the polls are going to look like. Are people going to be even going to be even going to them? We don't even know if people are going to be in person voting this year in November at this point. There's so much up in the air that I think like if you were to get a situation where, let's say in September or October, they come out with a treatment that is really, really effective and that turns this thing around and the economy is raging in November. Remember, Donald Trump's probably the favorite, right?

Like, it can go from him being way behind to being the favorite with something like that happening. I think that there are so. I know I'm this way. I will walk through a sewer full of coronavirus to go vote. Nothing is going to stop me from going to the polls. And I think there's going to be a lot of people like that. I think there will be a lot of people that, you know, have Joe Biden as their candidate. And they're like, I can't.

I mean, I don't. And they won't have the passion. They're going to have to steal a lot of votes. They're going to have to steal a lot. And the good thing is, is the Democrats are up to it. So it could very well happen. All right. Let me tell you about Goldline.

And I know you've got a lot of things to do. You're like, floods in China, why would I even care about the floods in China? The floodwaters are up. It's monsoon season, and they're up over 200% now. And because of the three gorgeous dam, this is the dam that they built. How many years ago, Stu, did they open this thing up? like five years ago. No, it was in the 90s they finished it.

And then they updated it, I think, about five or six years ago. Okay. But it is, it has been updated and made very powerful. And when they opened it up again, it actually slowed the rotation of the earth for a short period of time. And it is, it's remarkable. And they need all of the water. And this is one of the reasons why we have such a shortage of sand is because of these dams. Well, unfortunately, because of these monsoons, the reservoir system has passed the flood stage six weeks ago and is now classified by China, so you know you're getting the truth there, as a category two.

They've already had to destroy two dozen other dams to try to relieve pressure. but our satellites are showing that this dam is about to buckle. In fact, if you look at the story in England, King's College in London, just issued a dire warning saying, we're looking at the satellite pictures, and this thing is buckling and about to blow. If that blows, food security all over the globe is going to be wildly effective. please read this article at glenbeck.com as you read about wars and rumors of wars and floods and famines uh this is a really key thing to pay attention to because everybody else is
