Well, hello, America, and welcome to the program. I sincerely hope that we are not at a place as Americans to where we are going to let the Democrats jam down the Green New Deal because we're at home panicked.

I want to have a frank conversation with you and ask you where you stand. I mean, I'm in the danger zone. I'm right at the edge. I'm 56. In Italy, they're saying if you're sick and you're 60, don't even come in. So I'm in the danger zone. I would rather have my children stay home and all of us who are over 50 go in and keep this economy going and working. Even if we all get sick, I'd rather die than kill the country because it's not the economy that's dying.

It's the country. And I'll show you just what's happening to us just by looking at the talks with the stimulus right now. We have that coming up in one minute. This is the Glimbeck program. You know, there was a day, and you know the time I'm talking about, when nothing for you. Pick a days full of adventures. You could do absolutely anything. You could get hurt, and you'd be like, ah, brush it off, not a problem.

Doesn't affect me. I'm going to live forever. Uh-huh. Then there came the time when you had that birthday and you're like, wow, everything has changed. Then the pain came. It came slowly, stealing your daily world of tennis games or a pleasant afternoon, walks at a time, biking, whatever it is that you enjoy. Maybe it's settled in overnight and has never left you. Either way, you have two choices.

You can fight it or you can succumb to it. May I recommend? I fought it, fought it, fought it, fought it for such a long long way. time and I was losing the battle. And I would have periods where I'd be like, I am so much better. And then it would just go right back down. I haven't had that hill and veil anymore because I take relief factor now. You have two choices.

I choose to fight it. 70% of the people who try relief factor go on to order more and they fight it every day. And pretty soon it surrenders. The three week quick start. Try it now for third to. For 1995, strive for three weeks. You really don't have anything to lose except your pain and you will gain your life back. Try it now. Relieffactor.com or call 800, 500, 583,84.

800, 5384. It's Relieffactor.com. Democratically socialist economies. Arguing with socialists. First of all, it's democratic. The new book from Glenn Beck. And the other thing, too, is that you can pre-order it now on Amazon. on. Uh-huh.

Thank you very much. Oh, yeah. Hello, secret agents. It's Glenn Beck in the Glenn Beck program. Along with my faithful sidekick, it's Stu Bregear, our executive producer, and so much more. Hello, Stu. How are you, Glenn? I'm still at home, but, you know, I'm changing on this thing.

And I think the president is changing on this as well. You know, the doctors are saying that we have to hunker down for three months. Yesterday, he made a very big point. See this plan? See this plan right here? Plan says 15 days, 15 days. And he said yesterday, I'm not saying that next week it's over, but I'm telling you it's not going to be months from now. And now the doctors and the media and everybody else say, that's crazy talk, that's crazy talk.

Let me tell you what crazy talk is. So the stimulus package. yesterday went in front of the House because Nancy Pelosi had to fly right back in because they have an opportunity because so many Republicans in the Senate now are missing. So they have an opportunity. They can get all kinds of things in. So here's what the Democrats proposed yesterday as a stimulus bill to make sure America keeps running.

Now, I want you to understand, we're not talking about the shutdown of the the economy. We're not talking about saving the economy. We're talking about saving lives. We're talking about saving the nation. Our whole system is up for grabs if this thing collapses. And we're very close to collapse. So here's what they did. They put their heads together and they came up with 1.5,000 in aid per individual. So $1,500 per individual as much as $7,500 for a family of five. $1,500 per person instead of the $1,200 on the table under the Senate measure laid out on Sunday. Now, unlike the latest plan from the Senate Republicans, higher earners would have to pay back part or all of that assistance over three years

if their taxable income is $7,500 or more for a single filer or 150 or more for couples filing jointly. The money would be available to anyone, listen to this, anyone with a tax ID number and retirees and people who are unemployed rather than just people who file taxes for 2019 or get Social Security. Is it possible? I mean, tax ID number. Can you get a tax ID number and still be an illegal alien? It would create a temporary federal pandemic unemployment compensation of $600 a week for any worker affected by the virus and eligible for unemployment compensation benefits. It would expand paid leave and family medical leave.

It would aim to help current borrowers with student debt, seeks more than $500 billion in grants, interest-free loans to small businesses, would provide $200 billion in funding for states, $15 billion to local governments through community development block grants. They also want to ensure that states can carry out this year's election, and they want to have a $4 billion grant in funding for election. Well, that's the thing I want to do is turn the elections over to the Democrats.

It also would require airlines to adopt strict Green New Deal-style emission rules. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Here we go. There's a pay equity clause. Oh. So they have to, now companies have to make sure that everyone is paid exactly the same. funding for community newspapers.

What about bloggers? More people listen to blogs and read blogs than they read local newspapers. What about local bloggers? They want free internet. How do you provide free internet? How do you do that? I mean, do we just pay these companies to provide the free internet for everybody? Is that what we do?

The main thing I think is you have to negotiate with the internet ferry. The internet ferry flies in and leaves the internet under your pillow. And that happens. All right, good. $100 million for NASA's Environmental Restoration Group. I don't even know what that is. Mandatory paid sick leave for every single business.

Hiding the citizenship status for college students from the Census Bureau. Now, when I was thinking last night, you know what's going to save this country? You know what's going to do it? You know what we really need to do? for coronavirus because I'm staying at home. We're all staying at home. We're all crippling our small businesses. You know what I really want the Democrats to do is get in there, that citizenship status being hidden for the college students from the Census Bureau.

I mean, man, we got to do that. Anyway, by hook or by crook. And good thing, the hook and the crook, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are in office. They've demanded those stringent fuel emission standards for airlines, you know, because if you're going to give them billions of dollars in loans, they need to cut their carbon commissions by half in 2050, don't you think? I mean, otherwise, you're not worth saving. You're not worth saving. They also want a billion dollars for the airlines because they're going to need new planes. And so they're going to create a buyback program for all those old planes.

because they're less efficient. So we've now, they're now proposing a cash for clunkers for airplanes. They also want tax credits for solar energy and wind energy and provisions to force employers to give special new treatment to big labor. As if that's not enough, Elon Omar and Presley, Ayanna Presley from Massachusetts,

She's the forgotten beetle, isn't she? Presley? I think she's the one that nobody even knows. I don't... I don't know her enough. She's the Ringo, right? Yeah, she's the Ringo. She's the forgotten one.

Right. I always think of it's AOC is McCartney. Omar is Harrison. No, no. Omar is Lennon. Harrison is Rashida Taleb. And then Presley is Ringo. Yeah.

without the career after the Beatles. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, we'll see what happens after this. It's hard to imagine. But yes, you're right. I don't know how good the solo career is going to go. Yeah. So they want to just cancel some student debt because no one should have to choose

between paying their student loan payment and putting food on the table or keeping their family safe and healthy. Uh-huh. Now, James Clyburn was the one that was actually honest about things. He said, this is a tremendous opportunity. to restructure things to fit our vision. Oh, man, that's almost a quote from the Fabian window. Let's remold heat the earth so we can remold it closer to our heart's desire.

Thank you very much, James Clyburn. Both drafts are emerging now. They are dramatically different, obviously. The Senate bill also has the payroll tax suspension in it. Democrats say, no, no, no, we just, need to expand the health insurance premium tax credits under Obamacare. Okay. I don't think this is going to play well.

I don't think people are of a, you know, even last week, two weeks ago, maybe when we were a little more of a panic, I think Americans are sick of this. I think Americans are just like, I've done it. I've, I've, I've sat in my home for a while. I saw, I mean, I watched your wife have her breakdown yesterday online, Stu. Oh, I watched it. I saw it. Oh, yeah. Well, I'm glad. Did you not see it? No, I know.

It's an ongoing issue. She's having a tough time with it. Look, it's a difficult change for her. And I think for as, as is pointed out with their responses, you know, hundreds and hundreds just to her. But I mean, millions of people around the country are going from maybe at work, maybe working all day at an office, doing all sorts of different things to, I am now homeschooling. jumping in the middle of a curriculum with my two kids at home by myself all day, we can never go anywhere. That's a tough transition for a lot of people. I know.

I know. I mean, it's terrifying. If I lived in the, you know, the apartment that I lived in when I had my two kids with me and I was divorced, it was what, 800 square feet? Yeah, probably, yeah. Yeah, 800 square feet. If I were trapped in that apartment with those kids all day, I'd throw myself off the balcony. I mean, you just, you would go crazy after a while.

You just would. Yeah. And that's one of the things they were talking about in the press conference yesterday. And it's like, well, you know what? There are real health ramifications to what we're attempting here. You know? No, no, no, no. No, I saw the reporter in the front.

Yes, Mr. President. You're trying to say there will be suicides from this? From the economy going down and people losing their job and staying at home with their kids, you think there's going to be an increase of suicides. Only in all cases in human history, right? Every time, especially when you're talking about a, what we're looking at minus 24% GDP in one quarter, you know, we've seen projections of 30% unemployment. That would be higher than the Great Depression.

those sorts of things. I don't know if you remember the Great Depression. There was a lot of news reports about it at the time. Lots of people jumping off of things. Yeah, you know what? And that was in a time when people actually, they were closer to the bottom. You know what I mean?

Yeah. A lot of people didn't have air conditioning. Well, nobody had air conditioning. A lot of people didn't have refrigeration or telephones or cars or anything else. They weren't going to a store where everything was wrapped beautifully. They were used to actually having nothing in comparison. And they were killing themselves. Now, can you imagine this country with 30% unemployment, no faith whatsoever, no infrastructure for, you know, going and getting help with faith.

It all has to come through the government. My gosh, what a nightmare it will be. Yeah. But I decided, hey, if you can't beat them, which we're going to, if you can't beat them, join them. And so I came up with, I want to be a helper to the Democrats. I want to be a helper. Okay. So I came up with some other things that aren't in the bill that I think we should demand.

And I'm looking for anybody in Congress who will just stand up and say, you know what? I'd like to add an addendum here to the Democrat. I'm thinking about switching and becoming a Democrat because I understand your thinking and let me help you out on that. So I'll give those to you here in one minute. Stand by. All right. Here's the thing you need to know. is not going to go down. America is not going to be defeated by a virus. It's not going to be defeated

by the terrifying twist and turns of the market either. There is hope and we will be well again in the future as long as we remember who we are. Now much of that hope rests on the shoulders of people like you and me, the people in the right, just the regular people in America. I don't have a lot of hope with people from Washington, D.C. I have zero hope with the people in media. I have a lot when I go and talk to my neighbors. The people who are living through this, now more than ever, we have a duty to be fiscally responsible because fiscal responsibility is going to be the life preserver for the

Republic. I've been talking to you for years now about Goldline, and you know the drill. Not all portfolios are the same. Precious metals will make more sense for some people, less for others. but in no case that I'm aware of does it make no sense. I just saw something and this I didn't even believe. So I'm not saying you believe this. But they were, I read somewhere last night, where was it?

They were talking about how the market is behaving. And if the market continues down this way, that by 2022, I think they said, gold would be at $11,000. If the market's all around the world just collapsed. and continue to go there. That's insane. That's insane. I remember talking to Mark Albarian from Goldline years ago. And I said, geez, Mark, where could gold be?

I said, could it be at 5,000? He said, Glenn, this is why I like these guys. This is the president of Goldline at the time. He said, I hope to God not. And I said, why, it'd be a great thing for you. And he said, do you know what our country would be like if gold was $5,000? announce. We're almost at two, gang. We're almost at two. Please, if you're stuck at home, you got nothing to do, call them, talk to them. Hi, hi, can I just talk to you for a little? I just want to

talk to an adult. Call Goldline now at 866 Goldline. 866 Goldline. They will help you discover what's right for you. This is where responsibility kicks in. This is where hope begins. Goldline at 866 Goldline. 866 Goldline or goldline.com. 10 seconds, station ID. All right, we got a couple of guys on one from Dallas that just recovered from the coronavirus. He's going to tell us what it was like. He said it wasn't so bad. We have another guy on in about an hour from now who has just recovered.

And he had already said goodbye to his family. He was sure he was going to die. And doctors were sure he was going to die. He convinced them to take this new drug, or it's actually a very, very old drug. and just try it. The doctors were like, well, I don't have anything to lose. And he took it, and he is well. Within two days, he was well.

I don't know why the media is underplaying all of this. But, you know, I saw the latest poll on the media, and they have a lower approval rating than the president. So that should tell you something. All right. So I was thinking, Stu, about going to see Nancy Pelosi. and saying, all right, I would recommend, if we're going to go for it, $100 billion in funding to improve celebrity in-home quarantine streaming studios

because I see them all singing together and vlogging while they're in lockdown. And, oh, my gosh, they are so cute. They just remind, don't you think of Anne Frank? The minute you see those celebrities, you think, oh, my gosh, it's like Anne Frank. But they need ring lights and omnidirectional stair, microphones and improve lens filters because let's be honest sure iPhone you know it's good the cameras are great and everything but I don't want to see Madonna in a bathtub ever again no at least without

really good lenses you know so a congressional plan to provide celebrities with better vlogging equipment I think that's an you know that's in the nation's interest um cash for door dash I think we can all get behind this. You know, massive increase with, you know, online food delivery. They're saying that in some places like DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, 200% increase. Can we get some money in there for Boobreets as well? Well, I think so. That's in Oregon.

I think so. I think we could do that. Boobreets, this is a strip club that had to close and they thought, why don't have the strippers deliver food? It's called boober eats. I think it's brilliant myself. But, you know, with this kind of increase, I think, well, what comes to mind right away, Stu? When I say, you know, 200% increase, you know, for DoorDash and Grubhub, why would they need money?

Say it with me. Climate change. Oh, yeah, climate change, of course, yeah. All the pollution from all that driving. So I think that we should, you know, have enough money in the stimulus package. to make sure that they all have electric cars or something like that. And to make sure the food arrives hot, you know, I was thinking that, you know, you could have a Tesla. They could drive a Tesla, which is really fast.

But that makes too much sense for Congress. So to speak the language of Congress, I think Congress should insist mandate that Wolf Gas ranges are installed in the backseat of every hybrid that could possibly be used for DoorDash Grubhub or Uber. breeds because I think that's the kind of help we're looking for from Congress.

Welcome to the one and only Mr. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. Pat, I don't know if you've seen the very, very, the very talented and riveting Joe Biden in his latest video from home. But I'd like to play it here. Here's Joe Biden in his little podcast room in his home. I'm glad the president has finally activated the National Guard. Now we need the armed forces and the National Guard to help with hospital capacity, supplies, and logistics. We need to activate the Reserve Corps of doctors and nurses and beef up the number of responders dealing with these crush of cases. And in addition to that, we have to make sure that we are in a position that we are,

well let me go to the second thing Okay yeah go to the second thing The president must use the best production act I mean he is out of it So bad He's out of it I mean why would you let him do this live Why just claim it's live

Just tape it Tate it 50 times until you get one That's okay and then air it Does he not have one Single advisor with common sense Seriously That's so bad It's like negligence

Something something happens with the prompter and he just cannot continue and he's like time for medicine mommy I don't I tend to think that the advisors that he has around him

are absolutely smart enough to be telling him this has got to be recorded let's do it recorded and I think he's fighting it off no no come on now I've been doing this for 40 years I think that's what it is because it's too common you know it's you know like we saw

the advisor with him walking through the crowd when he was getting in that argument, she obviously was like, you've got to get out of this. This is a terrible moment. Everyone's seeing this on camera. And Joe's like, shh.

Like, he thinks he still has it and he's trying to hold onto it. And all of his advisors, I think probably no, but they can't stop him. Yeah. It's ugly.

Okay. So wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What do you think that maybe his advisor is Andrew Cuomo? just saying Andrew Cuomo why

I'm convinced that Andrew Cuomo wants to be the president I got the right Cuomo right yes not the TV Cuomo sorry not Fredo Mario who's dead the governor of New York I'm talking about the governor

I think he I think that's everybody's going to say he's completely out of control and Cuomo's going to come through this because he's already wearing the tight fitting you know, governor t-shirt like I'm in the war room right now. Look at me. I'm doing all

these things. I was just out building some houses for the homeless and decided to come in here and do this too. I mean he's, I think he's horrible but he's better than Joe Biden. And I keep thinking this is the guy who's going to come in at the end. That's an interesting one. Because I think

objectively, the only reason people think Cuomo is doing a good job is because he's doing a better job than de Blasio, who's a complete disaster. But I mean, this is there, he's in the middle of overseeing the biggest disaster of this entire crisis. Yeah. And he was the one saying, we're not going to shut it down.

That's crazy. That's not going to happen. And two days later, shut it down. I don't see why anyone thinks he's doing a competent job here. Yeah, he told his- Because he can, because he can blame the president. Although he's not doing that. No, he's been praising.

He's actually praising the president. resident, which is, I don't know, the whole thing's really weird. Because he made a big deal out of the fact that he was talking to his business buddy. And his business buddy was all freaked out that the rumor was he was going to shut down New York. Oh, no, we're not going to do that. Like you said. And then they did it. Wait.

You just bragged about the fact you're not going to do it. Now you've done it. And your numbers have increased in about a week and a half from around 1,000 to 23,000. about half the cases in the country. Yeah. It's bad. It's really bad in New York. It's bad.

You know, let me ask you this. Have you guys seen go to, shoot, where was that? Here it is. Go to the website. Do you have your iPad with you or anything? I don't, Pat. Go to COVID act now.org. COVID act now.org.

This is why your state must act now. and it's giving you a prediction or not a prediction. It's a model, a predictive model, to see the projections for your state on when your health care, you know, system is going to be overwhelmed. And if you go to New York, let me just go to New York, you click on that, you will see that with limited action, hospitals are expected to peak at about. April 12th and we are just barely there. I mean, it's almost a straight line up from April 1st until the 12th, just overwhelming the hospital. But they have, are they doing social distancing and they just closed everybody in, right?

Yeah, they want you full shutdown basically. Right. So they peak at around April 20th. Now, here's the interesting part. Go to Texas. If you go to Texas where we're at, and really nothing seems to be happening here, you are peaking two weeks later, April 28th. But if you look down at the number of dead with no action in just Texas,

they say estimated deaths, 583,000. Three months of social distancing, 430,000. Three months of shelter in place, 5,000. Yeah. Now, where are they getting these numbers? Three months of social distancing to 430,000. Where else are we seeing that kind of death? Yeah. And, you know, where? Because you could say we're early on in this process. Obviously, we've seen places like Italy that have blown up, but not like this. You've seen, but like, not like that. We see, like, for example, you could project New York turning into a real mega disaster right now, although those numbers seem completely ridiculous to me. But the other thing is we've seen Washington. have a real, the early big blow-up and then not turn into a mega disaster, right? It seems to have recovered a little bit.

Now, they did, it was sort of cordoned off in that one nursing home at the beginning, so maybe that was, that's the way out of it. But this is what I find so interesting about this and why the only reason I have any hope that this could potentially have some sort of like logical resolution is that it's Unlike a global warming where they say, if we don't act now, everything's going to go terrible. And every year that goes by where it's not terrible, they just say it's more years down the road. It's 10 years from now. It's always 10 years from now.

This is like two weeks, three weeks. Yeah. So like we'll know really soon. Yeah, we can. Well, you should know. What's the date today? The date today is March 24th. March 24th.

Okay. So in three days in New York, if they took. no action in three days, the hospitals should be overloaded. In three months of social distancing, the hospitals should be overloaded by April 3rd. So, you know, they didn't do the three months of shelter in place. So it's got to be by April 7th, which is what next Tuesday, Wednesday? And if that growth is as extreme as they say, over the next few weeks, we're going to have multiple examples of completely out of control situations.

If we don't have that, then we have to realize that somewhere in their projections, it's just not right. And, you know, that is going to, I think, change the way that we handle this. Yeah, we have 786 people in Texas with the virus right now. 786. Look at this. No action in the state of New York. This is New York City where everyone's living on top of it.

each other. No action estimated death 3902,000. Three months of social distancing, 292. Now, go back to Texas. Let's look at Texas. Three months of social distancing is 430,000 deaths. No action 583. That's not possible. It's just not possible. That makes no sense whatsoever. And the CDC's estimates of doing nothing, the high-end number they came up with was 2.2 million debt. So this is way more than this. We're talking about two states. We're already at a million, right? I mean, if you added up all these states, it would be much, much higher than what the CDC believed was possible. And I believe the London University that has been, you know, giving out a lot of the scarier sort of models. You know, I don't know. It doesn't seem, I don't know. Pat, do you feel that? I, I go back and forth on this a lot. I don't either.

admittedly. But like it's, I never get to this situation. But you listen to some of these experts and they're like so confident. And you, you could tell the difference between an Al Gore and these guys. These guys are saying like, look,

in two weeks we're going to wish we completely shut off society. Al Gore is like, in 40 years there's going to like, how can you can't even judge those things? Well, I'll be cannibal. Correct. In 38 years. And then 38 years pass.

Well, that's because. because of some of the actions I took. It's going to be another six years. And they just keep pushing it back. Exactly. But this is like, you can't do it. It's too immediate. We're going to be able, you know, Gavin Newsom said in eight weeks,

26 million people just in California are going to have this. There's no way that's going to happen. If that happens, we're going to be happy to shut down society, right? Yes. You're not going to have an argument from the American people. This is why I think the president said yesterday, It's not going to be months. It's not going to be months.

I don't think he bought these projections from the beginning. I really don't. I don't either. I think, but he was surrounded by a bunch of people who are experts. You know, he's just thinking he's the doctor himself. No, no. I don't think he bought into this at all. And, but all of the experts said, Mr. President, and now he's seeing, well, wait a minute.

He's seeing numbers like this and going, well, hang on just a second. Where else are we seeing this? I mean, Mexico, what's happening to Mexico? Mexico, they're still, they're practically having a lick-your-face marathon in Mexico right now. Oh, yeah. And it's not overrunning in Mexico. Now, it may come yet, but I think this is why the president said yesterday, it's not going to be months. He's betting on his gut.

It's not going to be months. But we'll reevaluate. Maybe it is. And he's looking to next week. and if these numbers in New York and California aren't starting to pile up as they were predicted, I think he's going to start taking the economy and opening it up because I have news for you. As a guy who's in the target range, Pat, you're in the target range. You know, in Italy, they're saying if you're 60, don't even bother coming into the hospital.

We can't save you. We're too overrun. Well, I got news for you. If it is my children have an America left. and I have to go in and work with a bunch of 60-year-olds just to keep this economy going and we're working while they're sheltered in place, I'll do it.

I mean, I'd rather die than have the nation die for my children. Absolutely. And I think the one unacceptable variable in all of this to Americans is if Netflix slows down their streaming speeds. If that happens, all bets are off. They're already saying it. All bets are off. They're already saying.

Oh, wait, wait, don't panic. Let's watch those numbers. When we see those speeds start to come down, then we'll let you know. Guys, projections are already saying they're going to go to standard definition. By the way, I just have to point out, did you hear that Joe Biden said that he just got high-speed internet in his house? they put in some new high-speed internet so I can have my studio in my house. Oh, wow, Joe. High-speed internet.

Hmm. Wow, that's a big deal. Good for you. All right. When cyber protection, when the cyber protection clan is away, the cybercriminals will play. As your hold up in your bunker, your home, during the, perilous days ahead, you should be warned that you could be inundated with fake products, phony stock deals and fabricated emails and texts and social media posts designed to play off

the fears that you have of coronavirus. The SEC recently issued an alert to warn of investment schemes that are pitching products or services that purport to help stop the outbreak. There isn't a level in which they will not stoop to. And on top of that, it's tax season. Cybercriminable, and identity thieves are smart. They get smarter all the time. They learn how to play off of people. Please be careful. Do not become a victim.

I'm quoting Joe Biden. There's so much wrong with that sentence. They put a new high-speed line into my home. So what would be on? Dial-up before this? I don't know. I've been darling, peep, boop, I've been using that still. I got my net zero account all fired up.

It's this new high-speed line they can put in. And they converted a recreation room. They haven't called it a rec room since 1968. And even in 1968, they called it a rec room, not a recreation room, right? No, I know. Recreation room was before it got hep. before the hipsters stood in and went, you know, you know, pops,

let's just call that a rec room. I mean, I could just say, it doesn't it, it just smells of that fake wood paneling. Yeah. Just that whole sentence just has fake wood paneling all around it. And they converted my recreation room into a television studio. Oh, the high-tech things we can do now. I mean, all he has to do.

do is just stop improvving, stop doing things that are live. This is the perfect circumstance. I know, obviously, it's a terrible thing for the nation, but for the Joe Biden campaign, could there be a better circumstance? No one can, he can't be seen in public. How do you have gaffes? You're in your house recording videos. Just don't screw up. It's insane. In my recroom. You know what? This is going to pay off to Trump's advantage because he is, it's like a fireside chat every day at 5 o'clock when he's giving his press conferences. You're listening to Glenn. Well, hello America and welcome to the program. Coming up, we've got two people that have had the coronavirus.

Both are past it. Both have a different feel on what it was like. And one of them claims that the cure was this drug that people with lupus or people with bad, bad rheumatoid arthritis have been taking for years and years and years. The president touted it last week. He had already said goodbye to his family. And the doctors say, well, let's just give it a whirl. We're going to talk to both of these guys in just a moment. Stand by.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Relief factor. pain, there is a solution for you. Pain is caused a lot of it by inflammation in the body. And they're saying, you know, ibuprofen, you shouldn't take ibuprofen with this. Have you heard that with coronavirus, they're saying, yeah, I don't think that's, it's, you have to. No.

Yeah, it looks like that's not really true. But there are some, there's some studies that are on the small side that kind of indicate it could be an issue. Okay. all right so inflammation is a real problem and a lot of people will just take ibuprofen and uh and hope that it goes away i'll tell you i could take you know and the doctor's say well i'm gonna i don't know if you can handle this uh ibuprofen 800 oh shut up ibuprofen 800 anyway you want to reduce your inflammation relief factor relief factor dot com get your life back get out of pain 70% of those who get the three week quick start go on to order more.

He's a guy who lives in Dallas. he came home from Aspen early in the month, and he got a low-grade fever, turned into a dry cough, led to headaches, all of the signs, and he was diagnosed with coronavirus.

We go to Hunter now. Hi, Hunter. How are you? I'm doing great cleanse. I'm doing much better. Thank you very much. I'm glad to hear it. So are you a relatively healthy guy? You were out skiing and you don't have any real underlying health problems, right? That's exactly right. I didn't have any pulmonary issues. I don't have any immune suppression issues. So I had about five days of, it was a very, very bad flu. But it was, you know, it kept me down.

And if I didn't know what the symptoms were to be looking for them to understand kind of with the restriction to my lungs and the difficulty breathing, you know, I would have thought it was the flu. But, you know, because of the timing of it, I realized with the difficulty breathing, that there was something a lot different going on. really the scariest part with the unknown, though, unknown of how much worse it might get. At the end of the day, it wasn't that bad.

But as my breathing got worse, as the doctor said, stay away from the hospital unless you need ICU breathing support, then we'll help you. And so then just, you know, just trying to think through, okay, when is that mark going to happen? We're going to need some more support from here, from an ICU ventilator.

And did they give you, did they give you any indication on, yeah, here's when you need that breathing apparatus, or did they just trust that you would know? I don't think they knew, to be honest with you. You know, I think that they just knew that they didn't have the ventilators or the beds to kind of support people coming in, and that I was really, you know, supposed to know on when I needed that. And so really zero guidelines to what that point might be. And so, you know, at one point I woke up and I was just hurt my lungs working.

Like it was like my lungs were paper bags, just crackling and bubbling. as they were just, you know, there's a lot of effort to breed. But then I, frankly, for me, I was told them the doctors take 600 milligrams of Tylenol, you know, not ibuprofen. And I took, like I said, 2,000 around. So I took that and to cut the fever. And I've been really doing better every day since then. So that was about, that was last Saturday.

And it's been kind of uphill or a downhill. So how long did you have it? First, take me through the, what's the first sign, and when did you go, holy crap, I might have coronavirus. It was about three or four days. I'm not sure exactly when I caught in Aspen, but I think it was a breeding ground in Aspen that weekend, unfortunately. And so it was about three or four days before I started to get the low-grade fever and the headaches. And then that was, then day five was kind of really intensifying. The fever got really bad.

the fever got bad, the body aches got really bad, and I knew something else was going on. That's when I got really the restricted breathing. There's like a strap around my chest that was just making difficult to breathe. And so that was about three or four days of the intense difficulties. And then the fever cut inside. I feel very lucky, though, everything is normally. I'm in the healthcare world, and so I have a telemedicine company. And so I had access to physician and people to help me out to help.

But even then, you know, they didn't know either. We're learning day by day on this. So you're a telemedicine guy. Exactly. And so we've been providing a lot of support to people to understand this. Yeah, this is, I don't think most people understand. When, you know, I've been saying recently to talk about redesigning the entire healthcare system now is like saying we've got to redesign the entire horse and buggy industry in 1920. It's over.

and just telemedicine and the way things are going to change, it's going to relieve so much. And this is really the time where telemedicine can really show off, and you could accelerate that quickly because it's so good. You're exactly right about that. There's a couple of pain points that we saw a couple of years ago about just getting access to the right type of specialist. 88% of the country is medically underserved for basic care,

let alone access to specialists. So that's what we've been focusing on. And then, you know, I'd like to give a lot of credit to CMS and the administration right now. They have lowered a lot of the restrictions on telemedicine over the past couple of weeks where they had very strict guidelines on state-by-state regulations, state licenses, certain things you can and can't do. And they said, in the short term, we're going to drop all of those. And we're going to allow people to get access to the care that they need during this process.

And we're not going to worry about regulations that might have been burdensome. So, you know, a lot of credit goes to the administration, CMS and really kind of our federal people who are kind of just dropping those to make sure people get into care that they need. It's been amazing how quickly they're moving. We're talking to Hunter Howard. He's a Dallas resident with confirmed COVID-19. So when you were diagnosed, did you go to the hospital or how did they diagnose you? Yeah, so I was lucky to understand how the system works a little bit. And when I started learning about my symptoms, there was nothing set up in town. In fact, Dallas at that point only had 42 testing units per day to give out.

And they told me, we're only going to give you one of these testing units if you are needing, you know, ventilator support in an ICU right now. That was on Thursday or Friday. And then over the weekend, Baylor's got to want it had set up a, the hospital system. It set up a mobile unit in Dallas. And so by then they had more testing units that were coming into town. So I was able to get access to those units. get referred. So it was referred by my physician into that system. Nurses out there. I want to give my absolute hats off to our first line of the nurses and health care responders who are putting themselves in harm's way. So they were, and just really, it was about 15, 20 minutes to go through there. It was a long swab that they kind of stuck into my nasal cavity, which it's all

like they're trying to swap my thing. To be honest with you, it was, and it was, it was what needed to be done. And I found that a day later by my doctor. doctor, and then I got a call by Dallas County Health and got a caseworker assigned to me, and it's really amazed at how quickly our community stepped up to. So if you had to do it all over again, what should we fix? What was lacking? The most important thing is lacking right now is just kind of access to the beds, the ventilators, the masks, and things like that. I was on a call last night with Dallas business leaders. And what we're talking about is moving from a population mitigation strategy to a case-based,

intervention strategy. What I mean by that is, in the short term, as we're learning, you know, about the incredible curve of how many people are getting sick so rapidly and how easy, how contagious this is, we're having to employ population mitigation strategies. They're really, you know, very, very severe, but that's a necessary strategy just to control the community transmission, you know, transmissions. But what we're trying to do, we're talking about, okay, is instead of it being everything being guided by the, uh, the healthcare leaders who are just looking at, um, the number of cases that are being trans, you know, to transmit it and just looking at those numbers. What do we, what can we do in Dallas to make sure that we're caring for every man,

woman and child? And so that's really kind of a shift from once you get a control of the transmissions and the community and instead of only having a population mitigation strategy, but what do we have to do to build more hospital beds? What do we have to do to get more ventilators in town? What do we have to do to get more tests in town? And so we're actually a pretty amazing group of kind of business leaders in Dallas coming together saying rooms. Do you need an inter-dentilators? And so we have transitioned upon this distance population.

I'm going to get a bed in a ventilator that's needed. They've got our support from the business leaders that we're going to give them whatever they need. So, Hunter, were you a believer in this was as bad as they say it was when you, went up to Vail? No, I'll be honest with you. I'm going for a friend's 50th birthday, and at that point, there's a little bit of information that was coming out about it, but it was still, you know, really mostly was happening over in China at that point.

And I had a kid, a mask that had an LED lighting on it. I have a, you know, with my friends of me in the airplane with a LED lit mask at that point. And we knew it was serious. Wow. We knew things happening other places. But it didn't. Not you. Well, I had the case.

I had the mask, but it was, we didn't realize how serious it was going to get this quickly. Yeah, that's what I meant. You didn't think it would happen to you. Yeah, exactly. Are you convinced that we are going to see these astronomical numbers that the CDC is talking about now? So that really comes into the population mitigation strategies. And in certain cities, it's out there. We're working on two-week trailing indicators, right, with the testing.

And so what we're seeing today with the numbers or what happened probably got 10 days ago. So the numbers are growing up. And more importantly right now is, you know, what are the, you know, how is the chloroquine working? So I have friends in the New York City health care system. And from what I am hearing anecdotally, it is working miraculously well. So we have a guy coming on in 10 minutes. And he says, I mean, he said goodbye to his family, everything the doctors gave him the hydrochloroquine. And he said two days later, he's.

fully back. And he credits that. But the press and everyone, no one is willing to say that this is even a possibility at this point. And I don't understand why. This is an old drug, you know, as long as it's under supervision and, you know, we're doing it in the right way with doctor's supervision. I don't understand why more people in the press aren't excited about the possibility of this drug. Glenn, I'm hearing from the health care workers in New York City, from the ER, it's absolutely working right now.

And so it's still a little bit anecdotal versus evidence-based. We don't have a lot of the data around it, but it's working is what I'm hearing from frontline healthcare providers that are in the eye store right now. We should be making that stuff day and night. We should be making that stuff day and night. All right. Thank you so much, Hunter. I'm glad that you're feeling.

and better, and thanks for your service to the community. Appreciate it. Howard, Howard Hunter, the first guy in Dallas to test positive for coronavirus on the mend now. I'm sorry, Hunter Howard. Hunter needs to change the name. It should be Howard Hunter, not Hunter Howard. We'll get back on the phone with him and let him know his name should change. Yeah, let him know.

He's got to change his name. All right. Rough Greens. This is what I feed my dog. Well, no, I don't feed my dog this. I put this in my dog's food. It's not a dog food. I just sprinkle this on top of it, and it's like dog crack.

I mean, he gets up in the morning, and he runs to the bowl. I say, you know, I want to eat? And he just runs to the bowl. I mean, it's like a, it's like a herd of wild horses run into his bowl. If your dog is not eating, he's a finicky eater, or you just don't think your dog is getting the nutrition that they need to have, this isn't to help your dog eat this is to help your dog live a really strong life it's a supplement

Hi, Glenn. Hi. Where are you a nurse? I'm an administrator for a home health agency in Boise, Idaho. Okay, good. So I'm calling. I'm a long-time listener, and I actually was listening to you

when you first started talking about this back late January, early, February. and I was doing a class on epidemiology, and I had happened to see some stuff coming out of China, and between you and what I saw, I was like, this is not good. And we had been seeing, already actually seeing some patients with this respiratory thing that we were going, what is it? We didn't know what it was.

So there's a lot of people in our area that are thinking, you know, it's been here in that timeframe that China wasn't being honest with us. Right. And it got here pretty quick, which means it was before we ever started doing anything, it was on the move. And I think your frustration and some of the frustration with all these numbers that we're seeing and feeling is that we're not getting the test back quickly enough. So I've had employees, I've had patients that are being tested, and it's taken a week for us to get the actual test results back.

So by the time we do get the test results and they're making the numbers on the television, it's a week later. So the numbers you're seeing today versus what you're going to see next week are delayed. And it's very frustrating. And then you compound that with being an administrator. I can't get to the protective equipment I need for my clinician. So they're out there exposed. They're exposing their families. They're exposing themselves.

They're trying to take care of patients. We're basically beg borrowing and stealing, not stealing, but begging from people. So please give us stuff. What do you need, Christy? The masks? Yeah, we need the masks. We need the masks. We need hand sanitizer.

We had a drive. I went on a couple of local stations this last weekend and just said, guys, if you're sitting at home, we're not. If you have a stash of this stuff, will you please just drop some off? Because right now, I feel like a general that is sending my troops out with no guns and no equipment. And that's terrifying to me. There's families behind those people. And if they start dropping like flies, then who's going to take care of the sick?

So we keep being told we're getting the equipment that we need, that there's a stockpile, but we haven't seen it. So I don't know. We're starting to see the cases, and I just don't know. What's the name of your hospital? I'm not with a hospital. We're with a private, independent agency in Boise. But we've got multiple hospital systems.

God bless you. Thank you so much for what you're doing. Thank you for calling in. If you don't mind, Christy, I'd like to keep you on the line for a second. If you could talk to one of our producers, I'd just like to get some information from you. We'll call you back. Thank you so much.

Now, a guy who says I had already said goodbye to my family, I was dying, and I got this old-timey medicine, and it worked. He's on with us next. You're listening to Glenn. All right, let me talk to you a little bit about our sponsor. When cyber protections away, the criminals and cyber criminals will play, and they are playing now.

You're hold up in your home, and you should be warned. You're probably going to be inundated with fake products, phony stock deals, fake emails, texts, social media posts, all of this playing off your fears. for the coronavirus, the SEC recently issued an alert to warn of investment schemes that are pitching products or services that purport to help stop the outbreak. Really isn't a level to which they won't stoop. And on top of all that, it's tax season.

So cyber criminals are out there. Nobody can stop all of it. But I'll tell you the people that are really out there that are doing it and really have the best image in the business and the best track record in the business is LifeLock. I want you to call LifeLock now, 1,800, LifeLock, or head over to LifeLock.com. Use the promo code back and get 25% off.

Glenn Beck's arguing with Socialists. It's a brand new book. It's coming out April 7th. You can pre-order it now at glenbeck.com or Amazon.com. Rio Giardinelli and Neri, I can't edit this out station over live. Rio Gjardinelli is with us. He is a guy who is a vice president of a company that makes cooking equipment for high-end restaurants in L.A. and around the world. And he was up in New York at a conference and he contracted COVID-19.

His story is pretty amazing. Diagnosed with pneumonia and coronavirus, he was emitted into the ICU, put on oxygen, and he made no improvements after a week. Doctors told him there wasn't anything else he can do. He started to tell his family goodbye until there was a friend that called and said there's a potential cure for coronavirus, and doctors gave it to him. We welcome Rio on the phone with us now. Hi, Rio.

how are you feeling? Yeah, I'm feeling terrific. That's, uh, so you're, you're still in the hospital. I am. And you've been there for how long? Uh, just a little over a week now. Okay. Um, so tell me when you started feeling this way, Rio, what were the first signs?

Oh, I was driving home and just felt, uh, really tired and washed out. It had been three weeks of travel, so I wasn't surprised. Went home, thought I was going to take a nap at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and wound up asleep until about 3 o'clock in the morning. When I woke up, I had a fever and a headache, and said, all right, well, I'm in bed for a couple days now, so I took my aspirinol, and it just continued for about five years.

days. I started developing a back pain and a cough and knew something wasn't right. So made phone calls to hospitals and urgent cares and doctors. And no one, everybody pretty much said you need to stay home and don't come here because we don't want to infect other people. I was able to get a test and found out that a hospital near me was providing the test. So drove to the hospital and was going to go in line underneath the tent to, take my test but I was sweating profusely and about passed out they grabbed me and took me in the

ER and I've been here since you know things progressed and got the point where breathing was very tough and getting labored speaking got very tough and on Friday I just got to the point where you know in my mind's eye I wasn't going to make it until Saturday morning I just was I was tired of as nine days of fever ranging from anywhere from 100 degrees to 102. And on that day, I just decided to call some friends and family and kind of say my goodbyes. When I reached out to a friend in the Keys and spoke to him, he didn't want to hear anything about it. And he started reaching out to a big group of friends of ours. Everybody started chiming in, and a very good friend of mine texted me and said,

hey, you need to try this medicine. I'd never heard of it. Didn't know it existed. And that's the hydroxychloroquine? It is. It is. The hydroxychloroquine, yes. And so your friend turned you on to it.

Go ahead. He did. He did. And I mentioned to a nurse who then mentioned it to the doctor. doctor came in and said it wasn't something he could prescribe, but put me in touch with the infectious disease doctor who listened to my story and authorized the use. The nurse came in 30 minutes later, gave it to me,

and during that night I had a couple of complications that were unrelated to the medicine, but more to do with the virus. And when I woke up at exactly 4.45 in the morning, I woke up and realized I no longer had a fever. My back pain had subsided, and I was feeling good. I was feeling like I was ready to go out on the boat. Now, the doctors are saying that this isn't necessarily from the hydroxychloroquine, but, I mean, what else would it be from?

Well, no, they're saying they said that the complication I had the night before weren't. My heart was pounding out of my chest. They said that was probably more about the progression from the virus and maybe a little case of anxiety. Like I said, I thought I was facing the end of my life. But they came in, they got me calm down, gave me some Benadry and something else to help me go to sleep.

And when I woke up, I was, I mean, I know it sounds crazy, but I was feeling absolutely perfect to the point that I called the nurses in. They came in and all my vitals were back to normal. I no longer had the fever that I had for the nine days previous and haven't had a temperature ever since. I feel great. The only thing I had was a lingering headache, but that was a small price to pay. So we got this story from a reporter, Haley Winslow. And She's the one that hooked us up with you. And she said, I'm just glad this story is getting out there. Hopefully it can save millions of lives.

Haley, I don't think understands either why this story is not everywhere. Instead, the press is focusing on some people that drank some stuff or took some tablets that were for a, what was it to do? Like a fishing pond or something like that? Fish tank, yeah. It's what? Fish tank. they weren't even paying attention to what was being said, and you can't take this without a doctor's supervision.

No, that's correct. Were the doctors and the nurses there, because it's not the way we're getting your story. We're not getting it from the hospital saying it was a miracle. This stuff worked. They're saying they're not sure. No, they're certainly being cautious about it. You know, they say there's no science behind it.

I'm not a scientist. I'm not a doctor. I can just tell you how I feel. And I know that I was not doing well in my mind. I didn't believe I was going to be here by the morning. And when they gave it to me at 445 when I woke up, if you don't have a fever and you don't have the science anymore, I don't know anything else to attribute it to, but that medicine.

And it was told me to ask, and it's not only me that it's worked for. there's many people that this has worked for. So, you know, I certainly understand the hospital's position. They may not be too happy with me telling my story, but the facts are the fact. I'm glad you are. I'm glad you are. Do you know are they using it for any other patients there in the hospital that you are at? From where I understand, yes, they are. Okay. And have you heard any results on that?

No, nothing at all. Nothing. Okay. So I was reading, go ahead. No, no, they don't talk about the other patients too much. It was just a general statement made by one, one of the nurses. Okay. So there is a South African swimmer, one gold medal for 100 meter breaststroke in 2012. He's been training to go to the Olympics this summer. He just contracted COVID-19. He's had it for 14 days. he said he's in shape and his lungs are obviously in shape and he said it's the worst virus I've ever endured he said I'm really healthy with strong lungs he said the the symptoms were all severe he said it started as serious serious fatigue then he said even any kind of walking just left me exhausted for hours he said there's just nothing like this it's not the flu. The guy we just had on right before you, Rio, he said it was just a bad flu. Where are you on this? Well, I can tell you that, you know, I'm a businessman that sleeps maybe five

hours a night and has done that my entire life. And this had me sleeping 12 to 15 hours a day. And I never, never sleep that much. So I can go with the fatigue and understand that 100, I think it hits everybody a little bit differently depending on who you are. The headaches were just intense. The fever was, you just, there was nothing you could do to break the fever. The cough. Now, I didn't get the sore throat that other people get. You know, so I guess it's an individual thing, but I will tell you this is nothing you want

and nothing you want to play with because it was totally debilitating to me. Right. I'm glad that you are I'm glad that you're doing so well Rio and do any idea when you go home I'm really hoping today but I haven't had an opportunity to speak to the doctor yet and the nurses don't know

so with any luck I'll be out of this afternoon I'm starting to feel like Brown all day there's nothing worse when you're feeling better and ready to go there is nothing worse than being trapped in a hospital all right. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Yeah. God bless. Bye-bye. I don't know. I think that sounds really hopeful. Really promising. Yeah, I would hope that we are, you know, people keep saying, well, there's no scientific. I'm hoping somebody's doing some scientific testing on it right now because that seems like a really good option.

This is an old drug. It's made now for lupus. and people who have really, really bad arthritis. And it's been in the market forever. Its biggest side effect is it can cause retinal blindness, I think, retinal something or rather, and you can go blind from it. However, that is not, that's if you take it for a long period of time in higher doses. The doses recommended for this are so low compared to anything you'd be taking for lupus

or, you know, for arthritis. It's about half of the dose that you would take. And if that is what we have to do, Israel is shipping six million doses over to us now. I'm guessing that maybe we should probably put some more effort into this, because this makes it go away quickly, if indeed this is true, that's the cure.

It's not just a, a vaccine, this looks like it's a cure. Where's the press on this? At least it gets rid of the symptoms, right? Like that's a little bit different than a cure where a vaccine can make you maybe not get the disease at all or something that makes it go away immediately. If it just alleviates the symptoms to half the extent that we've seen with some of the early cases, you know? I mean, I know it's exciting, but it's, we kind of hope that it comes through. because it would be a big difference.

Yeah. I mean, it's really the only path to no real negative effects here, right? Or at least very few. Yeah. I just, the reason why I'm saying, we should accelerate some of these things if we can.

I know the president is, but I don't know why the press isn't on this. I think it's because he just mentioned it and he can't do anything right. But I don't know what we're doing on this drug and why we're not more excited about this drug. at least at the potential of what this drug is doing. And it's my understanding. This played a very big role in South Korea.

And they're using it now in New York. I know that. They're using it in Italy. Why aren't we talking more about this drug and doubling down on the manufacturer of something that's been in use forever? Forever. This is a very old drug. All right. our sponsor this this half hour is zip recruiter despite all the ravages to the economy from coronavirus the

This is the Glennbeck program. Glad you're here. Stu, I was watching. We were just talking about TV shows that, you know, they were watching and for some reason or another, The Purge came up. I've been watching a couple of shows as a family Lock and Key.

Have you seen that yet? No, I haven't heard of that. You're probably too young. Lock and key. It is a series of books that is out really, really, really well done. Surprise.

I mean, you just can't find stuff anymore, you know, that you watch with a 14-year-old that doesn't have swearing in it. But it's really quite good. Have you ever seen? seen dairy girls? No, I've never, I've never heard of it.

Okay, so I think that's from the BBC again. It's, it's an Irish, it's a bunch of Irish girls. It is, I think this should be redone in America. It's, you know, it has the feel kind of, of, you know, a good, uh, jervaise kind of show, but not as heart. It's not as much heart in it. Sure.

It's just these trashy girls. They're all in this Catholic school. They're all losers. And their trip through school. I mean, it's a little foul mouth. I don't know how the BBC does it. I guess everybody else's standards are way different than ours. But it is laugh out loud funny.

Laugh out loud funny. That's very cool. You watching anything? Well, I'm very excited. Only three days away from the Ozark season three premiere, which is... I haven't started that, and you say that's really good. It's so good. It's very dark. I don't know if you'd appreciate it or not. It's really

well done. You'd like that part of it. You know, it goes in that same sort of better call Saul and Breaking Bad sort of arena, which is dark. I haven't seen either of those. Oh, so good. Yeah. So good. Yeah. All right. Our Corona's update is coming up next. Also, just an update. Mike Bloomberg spent a billion of his own money on his field. presidential bid. Oh, you're listening.

We're going to take your phone call this half hour. I want to hear from you on how you're feeling about the quarantine thing. Dan Patrick, he's our lieutenant governor here in Texas. He said yesterday that I would rather, he said like, look, I'm 70, you know, I've lived a good life, et cetera, et cetera. I think what we're doing to our economy is going to destroy America. I don't think there's going to be anything left. and I would rather go out and work and keep this country open for my grandchildren,

even if it meant my own life. And he said, you know, that doesn't make me a hero that just makes me, you know, a grandpa. I feel exactly the same way. And I'd like to hear from you. 888-727B-E-C-K. Our coronavirus update is coming up. Also, the Duck Commander joins us in about 30 minutes all this hour. It begins right now.

This is the Glembeck program. Can I ask you a question? When you saw the biggest Dow crash since the recession and the biggest crash of all time, how'd you feel? Didn't make me feel real good. You'd be crazy not to feel some real fear on that. And, you know, that doesn't lead to anything good. Now, perhaps it's time to invest in gold. Now perhaps it's time to make sure that you have something in case this just keeps going.

I've been telling you now for almost 15 years that we have to prepare for the difficult times in our lives. And there's some difficult times coming our way. I want you to do your own homework because you're smart enough to figure this out. You know, the problem is is everybody thinks it's just them or they think it's, no, it's stupid. And they listen to these experts. And sometimes it's good. I mean, it's always good to get an expert opinion, and sometimes it's good to listen to experts. And sometimes the experts are wrong.

Sometimes they just count on systems far too much. I really believe that you are smart enough to figure this out by yourself. That's the American way. Do your own homework. Exhaust the homework. Then, quite honestly, take it to prayer and then say, I've made a decision. What do you think? So do your own homework.

Is gold or silver right? for you. It is for me and my family. And the only people I trust, Goldline. 1-866 Goldline. 1-866 Goldline. Call them right now. Get the information.

They're really good people. They're not going to hard sell you on anything. Just call them now. It's 866 Goldline or goldline.com. After the hundredth time scrolling through your feed today, maybe you need some new reading material to get you through the quarantine. Please. We got you.

Glenback has a new book called Arguing with Socialists, and you can pre-order it now, wherever books are sold. All right, so let's get our coronavirus update. All the numbers are from Johns Hopkins as of 5.30 a.m. Central time. Total confirmed cases worldwide, 392,000. That's up about 50,000 from yesterday. Total confirmed deaths worldwide are up 3,000 to 17,000. Total confirmed recovered is only up 3.5.

thousand itself. All 195 countries on earth have confirmed cases. The only place in the world you can go is hanging with the penguins in Antarctica. No confirmed cases there. 5% of active cases worldwide are considered

serious requiring hospitalization. That's steady 5%. Yesterday, it was at 5% but it was down in February from 19%. I want to make a note here. 13% of the confirmed cases in America do currently require hospitalization, but that number is expected to drop toward the

international average as more people are diagnosed through the testing. The U.S. now has 468 confirmed cases and 582 deaths. We are up almost 10,000 confirmed cases and about 130 deaths in the last 24 hours. The U.S. has 295 officially recovered against the 582 official deaths. So somehow or another, Joe Biden realized yesterday that it wasn't 1997 anymore and decided to get some of that high-speed internet into my recreation room. That's a quote, in my recreation. He still has a rec room? I haven't seen one of those since the Brady Bunch went off. the air. Anyway, he is making his teleconferencing in his rec room on this new high-speed internet that the kids are all crazy about. So he made, he's going to make regular broadcasts

combating coronavirus. He made yesterdays from his home in Delaware, and it did not go well at all. Do we have a little clip of that? Here he is. The teleprompter broke down, and he did not know what to do. I'm glad the president has finally activated the National Guard. Now we need the armed forces and the National Guard to help with hospital capacity, supplies, and logistics. We need to activate the Reserve Corps of doctors and nurses and beef up the number of responders dealing with these crush of cases. And in addition to that, we have to make sure that we are in a position that we are, well, let me need. let me go the second thing. I've spoken up in it. The president must use the defense production. Wow. Okay. So that was his press conference. Comforting. I wish he was in charge right now.

But he says, you know, now we've got to use the military. Well, yesterday, a thousand strong military unit arrived at the Javitt Center in New York City. Wow, yeah, but we need the military to start building hospitals. Well, that's exactly what they were doing, turning the Javits Convention Center into a thousand-bed emergency hospital. It'll be the first of four emergency hospitals in New York State. They should be open within seven days. Dozens of national card droops have arrived at the Jacob Javitt Center in Manhattan Monday morning. President Trump approved Governor Cuomo's plans to set up the beds in the 1.3 million square foot convention center on Sunday night. FEMA will oversee the facility.

as well as the staff and stock the center. Is there no more free travel in the U.S.? Florida's governor, DeSantis, is ordering all inbound travelers arriving from New York or New Jersey into a mandatory 14-day quarantine per an executive order that he signed yesterday. DeSantis said in an address that more than a hundred such flights arrive daily into the state, he believes each contains at least one person infected with the new coronavirus. He said he's been in contact with federal officials about curtailing such flights,

but he has not yet received a response. He said people will be screened when they arrived and told they must self-quarantine. He said those travelers will not be allowed to stay with family or friends, because that is the one way the virus is spread. He didn't say specifically how self-quarantine is going to be enforced. He said it may actually, I'm quoting, be a criminal offense if you violate the quarantine order. Florida law says it's a second degree misdemeanor to violate a quarantine order that could result in a 60-day jail sentence. Notice he didn't have a problem when all of the kids

were on the beaches for spring break. That was an obscene scene at the time and all the kids were like, oh, we're not going to get it. It's fine. They're all now testing positive for it. New video from Spain shows the hospital triage. People are on the floor in the hallways, just waiting for a bed. Videos appear to show dozens of patients, some covered in sheets, most wearing surgical masks, laying on the floor in hospital hallways as they await for some bed to somehow or another become available. It's one of the largest hospitals in Madrid. Spain had 385 deaths and more than 4,500 new cases diagnosed just yesterday. It has more than 850 infected persons for every one million citizens. That's the third.

highest in the world after Italy and Switzerland. But perhaps echoing Spain's rapidly outgrowing outbreak, the Big Easy now is being criticized for not shutting down Mardi Gras celebrations and parades and parties over the warnings of local and national health officials against those large gatherings, which came as early as February 8th in the U.S. Louisiana governor John Bell Edwards says his state now has the fastest growing cases of COVID-19 in the world. Citing statistics from a University of Louisiana Lafayette study, Edward said the growth rate of the state is headed for a steep upward trajectory similar to what Spain and Italy have

experienced. He said Louisiana has the third highest number of cases per capita in the U.S. behind New York and Washington, respectively, but the rate of growth per capita exceeds any single hot spot in the world. You know, if it was going to, if it was going to break out, I mean, you would think Vegas or New Orleans. I mean, there's something in the water down in New Orleans. Edwards announced a stay-at-home ban for his state that will come into effect on Monday at

5 p.m., excluding citizens leaving home for essential services. There's no word on whether the state's 1,200 drive-thru margarita stands are exempt from the order, but I think anything that limits alcohol at this time is not a good thing. Nobel Prize winner, doom and gloom forecasts are likely overdone. This one comes from Dr. Michael Levitt, who is credited for correctly calling early that China would get the worst of its devastating outbreak long before many other health experts predicted they would. On January 31st, China had 46 new deaths compared with 42.

the day before, which Levitt recognized as a slowing of the rate of growth. This suggests the rate of increase in the number of deaths will slow down even more over the next week. Leavitt won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Yeah, but they give those away like candy now. And he ultimately nailed the call. Listen to this. I mean, you want a prediction that comes right?

In mid-February, he said there would be a mid-February peak with a total tantal. of 80,000 cases and 3,250 deaths. As of March 16th, China had counted a total of 80,298 deaths so close without going over. And he said there would be 3,250. There are 3,245 deaths. in a country of almost 1.4 billion. Yeah, 80,000 was the total cases, right? You said deaths.

It was 80,000 cases. Yeah, no, yeah. Yeah, sorry. 80,000 cases. He said there would be 80,000. They had 80,000 298, and he said there'd be 3250 on deaths. There's 3245. I mean, that guy, can we talk to him?

I mean, I would like to. Yeah, that's incredible. Talk to him. And he's optimistic, too, which is pretty rare these days from the experts. Yeah, and maybe this is a guy we should listen to. Maybe this is just a guy that we should listen to. Now, we said we would never go for it here in America, but we are. What was the thing that you thought was just so disturbing that they did stew in China?

Well, they were... Besides welding people in. Yeah, welding people into apartments came to mind right away. There was something they were doing that we all said we'd never. put up with this. The massive surveillance state that they constructed around pretty much everyone there to the point where they were, I mean, they were going, they were giving reporters QR codes to have to scan to every building they were going into so that they could be tracked. They were being tracked by drones. They were being surveilled in every part of their internet access. As I

mentioned a million people or so, they threw in a camp, which is a totally unrelated incident, but also problematic. So the Chula Vista Police Department in California recently doubled its fleet of drones purchasing two of the machines from a Chinese company called DJI. The police department told the financial times that they would be outfitted with night vision cameras.

We have not traditionally mounted speakers to our drones, but if we need to cover a large area to get, an announcement out, and if there's a crowd somewhere that we need to disperse, we could do it without getting police officers involved. The outbreak has changed my view of expanding the program. I think we need to expand it as rapidly as I can, said the captain. U.S. officials have warned about the threat of Chinese-made drones that they could pose a threat to the United States. The company that the police department is purchasing from, DJI, is the world's largest player in the civilian drone industry.

But DJI is based in Canada. Spencer Gore, the chief executive of the U.S.-based drone company, Impossible Aerospace, said he is working like crazy to help equip other law enforcement agencies with drones. We just can't keep up with the orders from law enforcement agencies and health departments. So how do we feel about that one? How are we feeling about drones? and our police department using drones.

Suboptimal would be the first thing that came to mind. Not the optimal. Sub that optimal. That is, I mean, I guess like you could make the argument in a case of, you know, where everyone's supposed to stay away from each other to break up a crowd. If it floats over with a speaker, it's maybe not that bad. I mean, I know they've done that in crowd breakup situations before, but it sends a pretty creepy message.

And not in love with it. Not in love with it. Yeah. Yeah. Remember, Stu, we were at CNN and we said that there were drones being used on the southern border or the northern border. I can't remember which one it was. I think it was on the northern border. And they were being used for drug trade up on the northern border.

And people went ballistic. They went crazy. And it was on the border looking for drug people. We don't do that. We don't do that. We don't use drones. I remember just shaking my head thinking, oh, we will. And soon you won't have a problem with it.

And here we are. Here we are. This is going to change everything. Tomorrow night, we're going to show you the things that are hidden from you, the plans that are being made, the plans that are being drawn.

I've been watching the in at 5 o'clock and getting his updates. And I think he is, I think if people watch those,

he's got a combination of his TV show, The Apprentice and the fireside chat. He's bringing these people in. He's not talking the whole time. They're answering for him. He's really, really good at saying, you know what? why don't you answer that one, Mike?

Uh, why don't you answer that? Well, I was shocked. The press asked him a question that was just a trap question. One that I thought for sure he was just going to answer because he likes the controversy. He didn't. Mike, why don't you answer that one? Um, he's really effective in these, uh, in these press conferences if you actually watch them. Yeah, he's much more effective in that setting.

I think than an Oval Office speech, which is just not the right vibe for him. It's much better for him to be out there doing those things. And I think he's done, he's had a little bit of a back and forth with the press. And the press has deserved a lot of it. I mean, they've been constantly focused on whether he's too racist. He's so racist for calling it the China virus. Totally nonsensical things. No one gets better from COVID-19 because of that question being asked.

there's no hope of anyone having any improvement or the situation getting any better by asking questions like that, but they do it anyway. It's really a fascinating thing, and you look at what they're doing now, which is trying to draw a line of separation between Trump and Fauci. They're trying to say, well, Trump's not listening to him. They're trying to antagonize that line and irritate it, which if you believe what they say they believe about Trump would be the way. worst thing in the world you could do, right?

Like, yeah. But, you know, they're just despicable. That's the only thing they care about is taking Trump out whether this virus seems to hit anybody or not. Let me give you this. Trump has an approval rating of 50%. The press has 44% and the Congress has a 42%.

The Duck Commander joins us from his home. in West Monroe, Louisiana. How you doing, Phil? Right. I know that. I know that. How's Ms. Kay? We have weapons around in case people want to come in there and rob us or kill us.

But the current pandemic. But nothing has really, Phil, nothing has changed in your life, has it? Nothing. Nothing is changed. Absolutely nothing has changed whatsoever. And you are actually probably further than what the president has recommended. I'm way out here by design, by the way, thousand, five hundred years ago. Why did the nation's race look through the word?

Bernie Sanders. Some people find it surprising that you're alone. I mean, you're not helping my mood here at all, Phil. You're not helping my mood. Could have done it. You know, God wouldn't do it. I'm thinking, God is safe. Yeah.

And he'll give him another decade, 20. Don't you just reap? So, Phil. I will say this. I thought it was great that we kind of started last weekend with a national day of prayer. I do think that this is waking some people up. Those with eyes and ears are hearing and they are waking up. Right hand.

80. I do want to ask you, though, a couple of questions. Yeah, I don't know if this is true. but I've heard because you're doing the new, you know, in the quarantine with you, and it airs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I think, 5 p.m. And I just, I just, I do want to ask you, is it true that you said that you said you didn't need toilet paper? I mean, I hate to go.

Yeah, go ahead. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. So, okay. So, yeah, all right. So here's. There's 20 leaves.

Phil, I mean. That's what most of us are just like, I don't, I mean, I hope the coronavirus takes me. If we get down to that, I kind of hope it takes me. What I'm saying is, heaven, he would anything. Break, how hard could they come and they get God will protect trying to convince people. Phil, it is always, it is always a pleasure to talk to somebody who just doesn't give a flying crap. Uh, and you just say, say, say what you. you mean. A new episode of Phil's

in the quarantine series drop Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 5 p.m. at blazedtv.com slash Phil. That's blazTV.com slash Phil. Thanks a lot, Phil. Talk to you again. I love you, man. Love you too, but say how to miss Kaye for me. I would have love to get, to have gotten him and Don Imus together.

Because I think those two, don't they sound alike? I mean, they, they, they, they, they, they're not saying the same things, but they just, neither one of them gave a flying crap about what anybody thought. That would have been an interesting conversation. I have no idea what would have happened at the end of it. It would have been fun, though, right? Oh, yeah. It would have been fun just to watch. I miss my friend Don.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Hi, Glenn. Thanks so much for taking my call. Sure. I just wanted to share with you a little bit. I have systemic lupus erymatosis. So I actually take hydroxychloroquine

every day. My rheumatologist calls it my lupus life insurance policy. Yeah. It's supposedly fantastic for lupus and things like that. It really is.

I mean, I've had no side effects with it. I mean, it's, I really don't feel unless I go off of it. It really does help kind of curb my symptoms and prevent any kind of like organ involvement and stuff like that. So I'm really excited about the possibilities of this drug. Oh, yeah. A little, a little cautious about some of the strain that I know is happening on the production of it. So that all of the other leopis people can, you know, make sure that they maintain their, medicines as well. Sure. Sure. Well, I'm assuming I know that Israel is one of the makers of this drug,

and they are shipping six million pills by, I think, this weekend to the United States. And so the production line is being upped on it. But I'm, I, you know, we should have a stockpile because everyone who goes down south in South America or goes overseas, they all get this because it's a malaria drug. So every soldier gets this. The United States government, the military, should have an awful lot of this drug laying around themselves as well. Sarah, thank you so much for the perspective, and I hope you feel better. I'm glad that drug's working for you. Randall, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hi, Glenn. Hey, do you hear me? Hi.

I can. Go ahead. I've been listening to you since you had the pitchfork, the episode with the pitchforks on CNN headline news and I was Oh my gosh Wow So you know That's been a long time Yeah I'm in New Jersey

I'm a contractor Do Home Improvement and I have been so frustrated by what's been going on I googled Why is there no line item Vito anymore? What the hell's going on? Why can't we just push back With these idiots in Congress And just give Trump he has the most common

sense of any president in my lifetime. He pushes back. He's always saying we're thinking what I'm thinking. And I'm like, damn it, he's right. And then, you know, when he's in these conferences, I'm watching. And he is saying so many logical things that just really have common sense, like, just like this drug you were just talking about. And he's always getting assailed by these leftists. And it's so frustrating for me to watch. And I was wondering why yesterday in a conference, instead of just being so generic and saying, well, they put some stuff. Just say, this new Green Deal crap they're putting in there. I'm not

going to go for it. We just got to help the people and just say it there. And then what happens is on the other channels, you're saying he's lying. I mean, like Rachel Maddo yesterday on her show was saying the president is just out and out lying. And then they call us conspiracy theorists. It's so

frustrating to see this. I know. I know. I mean, Randall, Randall, I am with you. I think America feels the same way. Just know this. He has the highest approval rating. He's first, those underneath him, the press, and then Congress.

So they talk about how underwater he is with approval ratings. He's the best of the lot, according to the latest poll. You're listening to Glenn.
