Rep. Vernon Jones and Ted Nugent join Glenn Beck to expose Democratic censorship, with Jones detailing his departure after the party prioritized LGBTQ rights over civil liberties while Nugent warns of global famine caused by locusts and COVID-19. They critique authoritarian lockdowns in Michigan versus Texas, discuss Karen Witsett's censure for supporting hydroxychloroquine, and urge rural voters to register via Nugent's "Hunt the Vote" initiative. Ultimately, the episode argues that unchecked government overreach threatens traditional American values, the Bill of Rights, and national self-sufficiency against impending food shortages. [Automatically generated summary]
We have Ted Nugent coming by, the two Democrats that are now kind of being kicked out of their own party.
It's amazing.
We have them on today.
We also have the Mauis.
Yes, the coveted Chairman Mau Award for the state and local and national dictator wannabes.
The Chairman Maui's are coming up in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Let me tell you something.
I want to talk to you about Takovis boots.
Yesterday, I mean, it has been a man week.
I've gained all of my manhood this week, I think, for my entire life.
I've been fixing a barn.
I've been up on the roof fixing the gutters.
I took down, I don't even know how many trees yesterday, seven or eight trees yesterday with a chainsaw.
I bought one.
I don't know why, because after I got it, I got home and my wife said, you bought that?
Yeah.
When are you ever going to use a chainsaw again?
I don't know, but I got one.
And I'm wearing my cowboy boots.
So back off, little woman.
Anyway, I want to talk to you about just the feeling of being responsible, having integrity, doing it yourself.
There is something I'm not going to, I'm actually, there's parts of this lockdown that I'm actually really enjoying.
That's kind of scary, isn't it?
But my Takovis boots are made for men.
Takovis, they are made by hand.
They're 200 steps.
It's in real integrity because it is the same boot that has been made in America forever.
It is the same cowboy boot from the original designs, that lasting style.
They will fit perfectly.
They will say a lot to you about you.
Forget about what anybody else says.
These boots speak to you.
Takovis boots.
Find them now.
Takovis, T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com slash beck.
That's tacovis.com slash beck.
Oh my gosh, it's finally here, Stu.
The Kentucky Mayor's Award00:09:17
Yes, from Gromens COVID theater that has nothing to do with China Graham's theater in Hollywood, California.
Yes, it is the first ever Chairman Maui Awards where we are giving the award out.
It's a nice, beautiful statue made in China, which makes it even more valuable.
A statue of Chairman Mao, and we will be sending these out to our winners.
Now, we have several categories here, and we've asked you to vote over the last week or so.
And if we can, Sarah, do you have a, I'm sorry, does the orchestra have a timpani in it?
Because I think we should probably get to our first category.
It's best arrest by an ensemble.
And our two nominees are the Brighton Colorado Police for Raging T-Ball.
If you remember that, that was the one where they, I don't know if you saw, did you see the video of this, Stu?
I saw some of the police.
It was a completely empty field.
Like nobody's in it except a father and a daughter.
And the Brighton, Colorado Police, in their beautiful performance in Raging T-Ball, went and arrested the dad who was just playing catch with his daughter.
Incredible.
Yeah.
Then the second nominee is policeman for their performance in Philadelphia, dragging a man from the public bus for not wearing a protective mask.
That performance, of course, Mask Me If You Can.
So our winner, do we have the envelope?
I don't even have a piece of paper I can tear to make it sound like I have an envelope.
Thank you.
Yes.
Open the envelope now.
Thank you.
Thank you, Stu.
And the winner is Brighton, Colorado!
And the police for that beautiful, beautiful performance there in the T-Ball game.
And they will be receiving a Maui.
Now, next category, Best Achievement in Mayoral Power Tripping.
Boy, we've got some new ones too that have popped up.
I don't know if you've seen this, but our nominees this year for Best Achievement in Mayoral Power Tripping, the Kentucky Mayor, Greg Fisher, that prohibited Christians from holding drive-in services for Easter where worshipers could remain in their cars.
The picture of this is absolutely amazing.
It's like a drive-in movie theater.
They're all listening in their car with the windows rolled up and the FM radio on because the pastor had a low frequency, or I mean a low power FM transmitter.
And so he was transmitting to everybody's car.
Nobody was exposed.
And the mayor shut that down and prohibited any of those from happening.
Now, the next nominee is the LA mayor, Eric Garcetti, urging citizens to tattle on each other for social distancing violations.
And our last nominee is New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, warning religious leaders their places of worship could be permanently shut down if they didn't halt their services.
And yet the mosques are still operating.
And the winner is New York City's mayor, Bill de Blasio.
Fantastic.
Wow.
And the crowd goes wild.
There should be a little orchestra there, too, on the Maui theme right after.
They didn't really react to the majority of the day.
No, they didn't.
They didn't like that one.
Just because it's almost like there was no rehearsal or any notes passed to each other on this.
Almost like that.
It's the Friday Glenn Beck program in the middle of the Chairman Maui's awards for the American dictator wannabes.
Next is the best use of police resources.
The first nominee is Greenville, Mississippi Police issuing $500 tickets to worshipers trying to attend a drive-in Easter service.
And the Taney Town, I couldn't live in a place called Taney Town.
Could you?
Where are you from?
Taneytown!
Taneytown, Maryland Police reminding citizens, and I love this, to put on pants before going outside to check their mailbox.
Wow.
Yeah.
And the winner is envelope.
The Greenville, Mississippi Police.
Yes!
For the 500.
What happened?
There's the crowd.
Woo!
And can we get the theme again?
You know, right after that's announced.
Sarah's yelling at me.
I've only got two hands.
Well, grow another one, Sarah.
People are out of work.
We got high unemployment.
Don't think you couldn't join it because I could get somebody else that's been working the fryolators.
Plenty of 300 people come in here and work.
It's exactly right.
I bet the nuclear industry has been laying people off.
All right.
Next category, best use of Orwellian technology.
The nominees, Elizabeth, New Jersey Police, making China proud with their use of talking drones.
And Daytona, Florida Police for using drones that can detect body temperatures with a fever between 99 and 105 degrees.
And the envelope, please.
The winner is.
Elizabeth, New Jersey Police.
Yes.
Yes.
Wow.
For their use.
There we go.
There we go.
Oh, my goodness.
All right.
Knock it off.
Now, the Sarah's just pissed.
She's just like, it's off or on.
Best achievement in criminal takedown.
Cincinnati, our nominee, Cincinnati, Ohio Police, for arresting a man for violating the stay-at-home order after he was shot in both legs.
So he was standing outside of his house.
He's shot in both legs.
When he goes to seek for help, they arrest him because you shouldn't be outside.
The next nominee, Richmond, Rhode Island Police, arresting three men for crossing into Rhode Island to play golf.
And the third nominee, Raleigh, North Carolina, Raleigh, North Carolina Police, breaking up crowds protesting the stay-at-home order.
And the winner is.
Yes, violating the stay-at-home order after shot in both legs.
It's the Cincinnati, Ohio Police.
Yes.
What an achievement.
Thank you.
Really.
And finally, our last category.
Chairman Maui.
It's a beautiful one.
This one, I can't imagine that the Lifetime Achievement Award might even go to this recipient, but I haven't looked in the envelope yet.
Best gubernatorial beatdown.
Rhode Island governor, these are all selected by you.
Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo for ordering the Rhode Island National Guard to assist police in conducting a door-to-door search for New York residents visiting Rhode Island.
No word if they found any of those Jews.
Next, Kentucky Governor Andy Bashir issuing an order on Good Friday that anyone who attended church on Easter must quarantine for 14 days.
The third nominee, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, issuing a stay-at-home order through June 10th.
That was his first order.
It's still the longest lasting order in the nation.
And finally, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer prohibiting police and private gatherings of any size, banning travel to in-state vacation homes, banning the sale of non-essential items, but you can still buy a lottery ticket and the envelope.
Gretchen's Fast Track to VP00:02:00
Open it up.
The winner is.
Yes, I knew it.
Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
She's got the Maui being sent her way.
Yes, it'll be winging her.
You will send her a box of Clorox wipes, too, because she'll want to wipe this one down because it is from China.
Congratulations.
Got to say, this probably launches Gretchen into the lead for the vice presidential candidacy.
You have to imagine this puts her on the fast track, Glenn.
It's got to.
Well, either that or Stacey Abrams.
I don't know if you saw Stacey Abrams is now trying to box Joe Biden in, saying it's got to be a person of color and she is working that social justice angle.
I mean, if, if Joe Biden, can you imagine Joe Biden?
So help me God.
That guy is president of the United States.
He'll be deemed incompetent immediately.
So he'll be gone and our president would be Stacey Abrams.
Who has done what exactly?
Like she lost the governor, race for governor?
That's it.
She is a community organizer.
Okay.
She is a social justice warrior.
Are you going to take one of our heroes that is out on the field, on the battlefield of social justice wars?
You're going to diminish that work and say she shouldn't be the president at a time of crisis?
Oh my.
Oh my gosh.
Yes.
Yeah, me too.
I'm going to join you on that.
All right.
By the way, if you weren't even nominated this year, don't worry.
Social Justice Warriors vs. Dictators00:07:11
There's a lot more chances for you to become a dictator wannabe.
And for all the nominees that lost, remember, it is an honor just to be nominated.
American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Yeah.
Are you paying 4% or more for your mortgage?
If you are paying anywhere close to 4%, you need to get on the phone with American Financing.
Now, I want to urge you to do this now.
It is getting harder and harder to get a loan.
Of course, you know, the banks, the banks, I have a story for how much the banks have gotten.
You know, the biggest banks that were too big to fail, they're even bigger now after the bailout.
They've gotten about a trillion dollars just from the federal government and trillions more from the Fed.
But I don't know.
I don't know if I can trust you with any of that money.
The people who are in your corner that is not a bank, they are going to find the loan that's right for you and you'll save a buttload of money right now if you can refinance or consolidate with a loan.
The people to help you do it is American Financing.
I want you to call them now, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
They are waiting for your call right now or go to AmericanFinancing.net and find out more.
It's an easy 10-minute phone call.
There's no pressure.
There's no charge for any of this.
Just talk to them for 10 minutes.
Tell them what your situation is, and they will tell you if they can help you or not and find the best way to do it.
AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440.
We pause for 10 seconds.
station i do so the republican mayor of lancaster uh california just about an hour north of los angeles uh he he took to twitter uh yesterday said uh or this is actually i think facebook
We were notified a group is planning similar protests in Lancaster, California.
Make no mistake, people who deliberately violate the social distancing laws and the laws requiring that we all wear a mask will be identified, arrested, and prosecuted.
Don't mess with us.
You will not endanger the lives of our hardworking families because of some misguided civil liberties argument.
The quote is, give me liberty or give me death.
Well, being arrested and locked up in an overcrowded jail just might result in granting you your wish.
Holy mother of, are you kidding me?
They didn't even get a nomination for a Maui?
He didn't know because, well, it was too late.
He's in the next Maui's.
He's in the next Maui's.
Missed the filing debt.
I mean, that is astounding.
That is from a Republican.
Well, a Republican in California.
So what is that?
Like Stacey Abrams.
That is crazy.
I just don't understand this approach.
I don't know why anyone would think it's a good idea to treat people this way in any context.
You know, it's the opposite that should be done.
I mean, I think the overwhelming evidence shows things like being outside for events, especially if you're social distance, is absolutely no risk.
In the sun.
In the sun.
It's bizarre.
I mean, it is.
But they keep trying to do these things.
And I think it's a way of flexing their muscles of control so they can say, no, you're not allowed to do these things.
If we tell you no, it's no, no matter what your common sense tells you.
They're making everything worse.
These protests are not, I don't think, not just about being able to go to work.
There are those people that they have no money.
Okay.
They're out.
The banks are now limiting credit card charges.
So they're pulling back on how much you could, if you could, you could put $2,000 on your credit card.
You no longer can.
They're bringing that balance down so you can't have charge cards.
So if you are out of a job, you haven't gotten your unemployment yet, you haven't gotten anything from the United States government yet, your credit card is maxed out or now you can't use it.
What are you going to do?
There's a lot of people in that category, but I think there are more people that are just pushing back because this is un-American.
This is absolutely un-American.
This is not the way we are the citizens.
You derive your power from us.
We lend you that power.
Now you are a mayor and you just think that you control everything and you can basically say, I'm condemning you to death.
You come here and I will put you in an overcrowded jail.
And that's a death wish.
And he's saying it.
That just makes it worse.
That makes me want to go out and protest him.
How dare you?
Who do you think you are?
I really do think that's the big thing they're protesting is essentially what you just covered in the Mauis.
It's those little flares into the ridiculous behavior when we all kind of recognize, look, we want this to go away.
We want to be able to go back to normal.
We don't want our friends and our relatives and our elderly grandparents and parents to die.
So we'll do what we can here, but they should be working with us.
They should be praising the person who comes up with the drive-in church so that people can still worship.
They should be out there actively praising the people who come up with solutions like that.
Instead, they're arresting them and throwing nails in their parking lot so they get flat tires, which again, I don't know how that helps.
So what?
You have to have a tow truck driver come out so they can be cheek to cheek.
It's just why they're making it worse.
It's just sick what's going on.
By the way, Colleyville, Texas.
Several governors are lifting the pandemic restrictions this week, but a Fort Worth, Texas suburb went a step further.
They are the first in Texas to issue the proclamation.
Churches, retail stores, gyms, salons, massage parlors, restaurants, all of it reopens today.
Collyville, Texas.
Mike Lindell's Agenda00:15:09
Is the Glenbeck program?
Oh, boy.
Glad we had the massage parlors.
I can't believe they were even closed.
All right.
I want to talk to you a little bit about Mike Lindell and MyPillow.
I don't know if Mike's factories are still making masks and PPEs.
So I don't know if they're back to making their pillows and everything else.
But I would really urge you to, if you're looking for a pillow, just give MyPillow a try.
I would never have given it a try.
It just didn't look like a pillow that I would want.
And I don't buy things off of TV or whatever, especially from Mike is just hilarious.
He's just like, my pillow is great.
Okay, I just, I, so anyway, but I, Mike sent one to me and then was in my office.
And I, I tried it one night and I quite honestly hated it.
And he said, you hate my pillow.
And I'm like, yes, I do.
He sent me another one.
He said, you, you have the wrong size.
He sent me the other one.
I sleep with it every night.
I love it.
Please just try it.

Friday.
Welcome to it.
We're glad you're here.
It's Friday, Glenn Beck program.
There is something going on with the Democrats.
They're eating their own.
And I'm so sick and tired of this.
You have to be all in or nothing at all.
Vernon Jones is a Democratic Party member.
He is the Georgia House of Representatives.
He serves there.
He's in the District 91.
He came into office January 2017.
His current term ends January 2021.
But here's the thing.
Tuesday, he endorsed, Tuesday, April 14th, he endorsed President Trump's bid for reelection.
He said Trump is the most action-oriented president in his lifetime and said he was going to support Trump for a second term.
He's the leader our country needs.
The results speak for themselves.
With his hand on the wheel, the stock market broke record after record.
Wages and jobs exploded, and unemployment dropped to record lows.
Given his track record, President Trump is best prepared to lead our economy back to record highs after we beat COVID-19.
Well, the Georgia Democratic Party chair ripped him apart.
And listen to this quote: Vernon Jones is an embarrassment to the Democratic Party and does not stand for our values.
Never has that been more clear than at this moment when he chooses to stand, listen to this, with the racist president who has made an all-out assault on black Americans, who has tried to rip away every American health care and has failed our country in its greatest time of need during the most important elections of our lifetime.
He does not speak for Georgians, neither does Donald Trump.
Okay, so Vernon said, I'm done.
I'm just, I'm leaving the Democratic Party and I'm not even going to complete my term.
He's on with us now to talk to us about this.
State rep Vernon Jones, how are you?
Hey, Glenn, how are you?
And how are your listeners?
And I thank them for tuning in.
Yeah.
Vernon, I have to tell you, I've never seen anything quite like this where they are, and they're doing this up in Michigan as well to somebody else.
And if you deviate at all, you're done and they destroy you.
Is this a surprise to you?
Well, no, and it's been brewing for a while, Glenn.
The Democratic Party brags and talks about a big tent of inclusion.
Yes, they have it with gender.
They have it, orientation, race, but they don't have it for independent thinking and conservative black man or woman.
We are left behind.
We're not even tolerated.
But they want our votes.
That's all they want is our votes to uplift these liberal left socialists.
And I just, at one point, just got tired of it.
And Glenn, I've always had conservative leanings.
I've voted for President George Bush.
I've gone back and forth because I'm independent.
But this party has gone so far that if you don't walk lockstock and barrel with them, they want to ostracize you and kick you out of the party.
But what can they do, Glenn?
Spank me?
I don't care.
Not only that happened up in Michigan, but in Tennessee, you have an independent black conservative pastor, been elected 13 times by his constituents.
And the Democratic Party, because he was for school voucher and pro-life, they made a move with their law to remove him from the ballot.
He's been removed from the ballot, a black state lawmaker, a pastor.
And so you see stuff like that.
They're trying to fire at us.
They don't want us to talk because white liberals live and they get elected and they get supported on the backs of black people.
But when you look at their agenda, their agenda is not for blacks.
I believe in immigration the right way, but let's enforce the law too.
I don't believe in sanctuary cities.
However, when you look at the Democratic Party's platform, it's for illegals, illegal people who don't, who've never lived in this country, come over illegally.
It can be a drug dealer or a gang member, and they get more resources than American veterans and families, men, women, and children on the streets of L.A. and New York and other places.
It's just a crying shame.
I don't have anything with Snoop that dealing with some, I don't have, I should say, I don't disagree with someone's lifestyle if that's what they want to do.
I know my lifestyle, but the Democratic Party is focused on the LGBTQ community.
Well, when Joe Biden was saved by the African American votes, they didn't say he was saved by the LGBT LBGTQ community, community, or the illegal immigrants.
It was the black vote.
But the black vote doesn't take center state.
So here what you have now, the Democratic Party, look at who the two candidates are.
And Joe Biden, who crafted and ushered the crime deal through Washington, through Congress, that locked up a whole generation of African American men and women, separated their families.
Talking about separating families and putting people in cages.
And here President Trump comes forth with the Criminal Justice Reform Act, the First Step Program, and it's given those people, black people and others too, a second chance.
And so I just don't know.
Vernon, how were you ever a Democrat?
None of this sounds like the Democratic Party.
Well, Gwen, I didn't leave the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party left me.
The Democratic Party at one time was on fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets, less government.
But now they've gone so far with socialist ideas.
They've gone so far left.
They want to give everything away free.
My parents, I was born and reared on a farm in North Carolina, and they said that the only thing they want for the government was to get out of its way so they can raise their families, educate their kids.
And so that's the Democratic Party left Dell Mill a prime example.
Democrat in Georgia, governor, then U.S. Senator, not only did he endorse President Bush, but he spoke at the Republican National Convention, and he talked about where the Democratic Party was going.
So this is nothing new, but I just got tired of it.
And I slept.
So let me ask you this.
Do you think, first of all, are you really going to walk away?
Are you going to walk away from your term?
You know, I initially, you know, when I came out and endorsed President Trump, because President Trump, one word described him for me, and that is results.
What he did for the economy, what he's done for criminal justice reform, I have to have gone to historical black college, proud graduate of North Carolina Films University.
He restored funding that was cut and then wrote it into law.
You know, he has a track record with opportunity zone districts that are in communities that have been devastated by, you know, just downtrodden and no revitalization.
They are being turned around now and people investing.
When I took the stand for President Trump and endorsed him, my party attacked me.
I had things said to me and written to me that I just, I didn't know there was just that much hate.
And so I said, look, you guys, you can have this plantation.
Somebody else can use my room.
I'm out of here.
I am not going to be a part of this.
But it is important to stand up to this party and elbow them until they make room for conservative thinking African Americans and the white heterosexual male that's conserved.
If you look in the southern states, there are very few of them, if any.
And so the party just gone.
And so I'm going to continue to call this party out.
I'm not going to be silenced.
I'm going to take a stand.
And when I got that support from all around the country, even from my district and from people all across this country, patriots and great Americans said, Vernon, don't give up.
At least finish your term.
And I said, you know what?
The hell with this.
I am coming back and I'm going to be in those Democrats' face.
We're going to be going back into our session in June.
There is an immigration bill that targets those violent, those violent crimes committed by illegals where they cannot have those sanctuaries seated.
The police department will be reporting them to ICE and have them taken out of this country.
So I'm a co-sponsor of that bill, and I want to get an opportunity to stay on that floor.
And I want to speak about that deal and finish the rest of this term, which ends in July.
I mean, I'm sorry, end of the day.
All right, so July 2021.
So now you have, Vernon, you have the Democratic Party chief and the whole Democratic Party coming down on you like a box of rocks.
The local press now said that you have you flipped.
Now they're saying this was just self-promotion for you because there's a primary in a few weeks.
How do you expect to get through this primary?
Well, you know, the liberal media has been at me for 30 years.
When I served in the legislature in the 90s for eight years when I was county executive, I served another eight years there.
I was term limited when I ran for U.S. Senate.
They hated me then.
They treated me just like President Trump.
That's why nobody's going through the fake news.
The liberals, no matter what President Trump does, they just cannot give him credit.
They don't want to talk about my track record of balancing budgets, never raising taxes, investing in infrastructure, dual AAA credit rating that happened under my watch.
They don't want to talk about my record.
They are trying to keep me silent.
That's that liberal, that's the totalitarian white liberal media that do not want African Americans to have a brain to think for themselves to be independent.
And as related to my primary, I am not going to be running for my term ends in 2021.
I'm just not going to be on the ballot to be reelected.
I'm finishing with my term ends, as opposed to just stepping down.
I had stepped down just completely where I was going to be.
My days would have been on my completion date, or the time I would have ended my term would have been on the 22nd of April.
But now I'm just going to go ahead and remain on my position, finish it out, yeah, and finish it out strong.
But that's just the beginning.
It's not about me, Glenn.
It's a much bigger picture.
It's to let African Americans know that the Democratic Party has been taking you for granted for over 60 years.
Hold them accountable.
Hold them accountable.
And also let them know that we have an agenda too.
And our agenda is not necessarily in their agenda.
And they have literally smothered out our conservative views.
They just hijack us.
And I just can't, when you want to compare gay, and don't get me wrong, this is not gay bashing or anything.
But gay rights and civil rights are not the same.
And the Democratic Party tried to take my head off because there was a transgender who came to the capital who was just adamant about me signing a bill, the immigration bill.
And you, you, how could you do this?
You're black and I'm transgender.
We're the same.
And I had to say, Wayne, hold stop right there.
See, you all have to hijack the civil rights phrase.
Civil rights and gay rights are not the same.
You can decide what you want to do based on your emotions or your options.
That's on you.
You can make that decision.
Whatever day, whatever time.
But as a black man from cradle to grave, I can't disguise this.
I can't change this.
I can't decide one day I want to be white or blue or gray.
I am black in and out.
So to try to compare the two, that's part of the problem.
Their agenda has superseded the black agenda.
And we don't have the same thing in common.
And I respect people.
I respect what they believe in.
I don't care.
That's their business.
But don't try to compare the two.
And the Democratic Party wanted me to meet with the chair of the caucus of the JA Lesbian Caucus for what?
I'm not going to change my mind.
What has happened in America?
People are afraid to stay up.
The straight man, the heterosexual man is under attack now.
You know, we can't be men like we used to be.
I mean, respectful.
My parents raised me to be a respectful young man.
But the heterosexual man now is under attack.
There are a lot of things that this far right, far left, I should say, party, wing of the party, it's just not the party it used to be.
That's why I said, Glenn, I didn't leave the party.
The party left me.
State Representative Vernon Jones, Vernon Jones.
You can follow him, house.ga.gov or follow him on Twitter at rep Vernon Jones.
Best of luck to you, Vernon.
ZipRecruiter's Vision for America00:14:49
Thank you so much for talking to us today.
Back in just a second.
That's like what he just said is a death sentence in today's world.
I mean, you want to talk about guts for having that opinion and saying it?
Holy cow.
All right, ZipRecruiter.

Please.
We got you.
Glenn Beck has a new book called Arguing with Socialists, and you can order it now from anywhere books are sold.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Yeah.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Mr. Bill O'Reilly is coming up next.
You know, one of the things that I don't think is coming back for a long time, I was talking to an agent yesterday that, you know, is an agent for a lot of big singers and everything else.
And I said, so what's changing?
And he said, the artists that had money, they are okay.
He said, but all of the struggling artists, he said, all the roadies and everything else, he said, I don't even know when they're going to go back to work.
He said, I don't see concerts coming back for a long time.
And he said, right now, people are starting to do little concerts online to raise money.
He said, but that's just kind of the opening.
You know, as people are doing this now, nobody wants to be seen making money online.
But he said, that's probably the future, at least for a while, at least the next year or so.
No concerts.
It'd all be concerts online where you would pay your ticket price to watch a concert online.
That's the future.
Yikes.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
You've heard me talk about my Takovas boots and how much I love them and what a great company they come from.
It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas.
Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country, Takovis has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Takovis boots.
The cowboy.
Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy, but I know some of those guys.
And not being one of them, I wouldn't pretend to be.
But what I see in them, I see in other people too.
Because in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset, an uncompromising can-do attitude, a willingness to help even when it's really hard.
And most of all, the cowboy knows that the good guys always win in the end.
So as you begin the hard work of bootstrapping this country and economy back into shape, Takovis has the boots you need.

We got to get started in 60 seconds.
This is the Glenbeck program.
We probably have 15 to 20% unemployment now, and people are starting to get desperate.
That's why you're starting to see some people protest.
You're starting to see pushback.
They got to go back to work.
And when people are desperate, when people are hungry, crime goes up.

BillO'Reilly.com.
Bill, I want to, I just have so many things to cover with you that I'd like to just kind of just roll down some of these stories and see what you see what you have to say on them.
All right, let me first put down my Clorox smoothie so I can answer the question.
All right, good.
Right.
All right, good.
The audio from Cuomo, I want to play Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York.
I want to play a couple of things that he said this week and get your thoughts.
Here's cut one.
You're saying that is there a fundamental right to work if the government can't get me the money when I need it?
Is there a work?
You want to go to work?
Go take the job as an essential worker.
Do it tomorrow.
Brett, you're working.
I am.
You're an essential worker.
So go take the job as an essential worker.
But people aren't hiring because of the.
No, there are people hiring.
You can get a job as an essential worker.
So now you can go to work so you can be an essential worker.
Bill, your thoughts on that response.
He dodged the question, but there is some truth to what he's saying.
There are jobs available for people here in New York, where I am right now, but you have to put yourself at some risk.
And I was just at a takeout restaurant the other day, and there were kids in there, high school kids, working, and they had big sign.
They needed more people.
So you could work.
But he dodged the question in the sense that if the government's going to prohibit people from going back to work to the jobs they're trained to do, is that unconstitutional?
It might be.
Absolutely might be.
So let me give you the question that he was asked just prior to that question that led to that.
And to me, he just came off unbelievably callous, and there is no, no president, Donald Trump, George Bush, no one would be allowed to answer this and get away with it.
Listen to what he said when he was asked about the unemployment insurance in New York.
But they're also saying, if you can't afford to pay me unemployment or your system, you will be paid.
But unemployment.
Yeah, we're talking about a couple of days lag on the unemployment insurance, and they will get the check from the date of unemployment.
It does not cost them an extra penny.
But her point was there are people that don't have cash and need food now.
And his callousness of you will get the money, and it'll be post-dated or pre-dated to when you lost your job.
Your thoughts on that?
I don't know what else you expect Cuomo to do.
I mean, it's a state bureaucracy, and they got to do it in an orderly manner.
So I wasn't upset with what he said.
You know, look, if people are out of money now, I feel for them.
There are places you can go for food and for help.
We have them.
We're a very compassionate nation.
However, I mean, the government can't solve everybody's problems.
I agree with you.
Do you think that that question, that answer would have been tolerated by Donald Trump or any Republican?
I told my audience this week that the collapse of the media in America is the biggest problem we have, bigger than the pandemic.
It is.
That's what I think.
It is.
Okay.
Yes, it is.
Even worse for Cuomo, if you want to just stay on Cuomo for a second, is this story that got no coverage nationally.
You might not even know about it.
In New York, the government ordered nursing homes to take people with COVID virus back.
So if you were a person who had COVID, you went to the hospital, you were discharged from the hospital, but you still had the virus, you had to go back to your nursing home.
Had to.
And because of that, the nursing home fatalities rocketed, rocketed.
And basically, Cuomo said, tough.
Too bad.
Now, after he did that, there was such an outcry locally in New York, but not nationally.
You didn't see it on the CBS evening news.
They're too busy nitpicking Trump.
But that, if Cuomo would ever run for president, going to come back to haunt him.
Chris Cuomo, the coming out video that he made for CNN where he was coming out of his own self-imposed quarantine, which we know he has verified himself.
He was out on the street and got into a confrontation with a biker.
But CNN just ran it anyway, has not made any comment on it.
Your thoughts of the way he was saying one thing and doing another on a news program as if it is credible when it is easily disprovable.
All they want, and I think Chris Cuomo wants, is to be famous.
That's all.
And he's getting very, very famous, extremely famous.
So I'm not there.
I don't know who called him a name.
I know he's a confrontational guy.
I know him a little bit.
You know, when he worked at Fox, you remember he worked at Fox Beck.
He would come into my office and ask for advice on certain things.
And, you know, I thought he was a good guy.
I know his dad, the late Mario Cuomo.
But they're so desperate at CNN because they don't have any stars.
They don't have anybody over there that attracts an audience.
So all of this is showbiz to me.
It doesn't really mean anything.
Chris Cuomo's teenage son now has the virus, and we sincerely wish that family all the best and the sun.
Is there a Thought here on the family of Chris Cuomo, who continues to say they're keeping quarantine and they just keep getting infected?
No, I don't do that.
It's a brutally contagious disease.
Everybody knows it.
I think you put it right.
We all hope that that family gets healthy fast.
You know, to me, this is small ball because of the danger that this country really faces.
And that isn't being covered.
The danger this country faces is that the information flow has been cut off.
And if you have people dying in your community, as almost everybody on the East Coast has, and you can't get accurate information, that's big trouble.
I mean, I watched the presentations on all of them, and I have my people, my investigators watching as well.
The amount of deceit being presented to the American people about the pandemic is staggering.
And many people believe it, perhaps most.
And so you can't make a judgment about anything.
Do we know if your mask protects you?
Information Flow Cut Off00:04:26
No.
We don't know.
Nobody knows.
Do we know after you get the virus if you're immune to it?
No, we don't know.
Nobody knows.
But every ridiculous misstatement by Donald Trump, who is now running a press briefing longer than the movie The Ten Commandments, Mr. President, if you're going to go three and a half hours, you're going to say dopey stuff.
Even Beck and O'Reilly, if we're going to go three and a half, we'll say some dopey stuff.
All right?
But this is what they want to cover.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
Oh, that's stupid.
And I'm saying to myself, you know, I'd like to know if antibodies prevent you from getting the virus.
That would be an important thing.
Well, yeah, we might know, but maybe it could happen.
Oh, my God.
And what about the vaccine?
I did a big report on the vaccine last night.
Did you know it's in phase three trials?
Did you know that Beck?
There's a vaccine.
Okay?
But has that been reported?
That is the main story, that we could have a vaccine that gives hope.
But no, we don't want hope.
We don't want hope.
We want to present, we, the news media, that this country's on fire and it's Trump's fault.
That's all we want to do.
And that's what they do.
So I want to go back to what you said.
You know, you're not getting information.
You're also getting bad information.
For instance, This idea that the WHO is a trusted source is truly, truly dangerous.
Let me give you this, Bill.
Last week, and we went through the video, we cannot figure out why.
Last week, we posted seven minutes of our interview with you.
Facebook, without telling us, ruled this video as having sensitive content and not eligible for monetization.
We have filed several disputes this morning, including this morning with videos that had monetization turned on.
This one is being ruled sensitive.
They will not tell us why they're doing it.
They won't tell us what was sensitive in this.
The only offensive thing that we could find in here, and that's not offensive, you said, was, quote, what pisses me off is that the new standard at Facebook.
They are now taking people that disagree with the WHO or who they happen to disagree with or not like, and they are marking us as conspiracy theorists or dangerous misinformation.
And now just with a video, we cannot find anything in it that is wrong, nor will they tell us they're demonetizing and blocking your segment from last week on this program.
Well, it's been going on for a long time, and this censorship is part of the media and part of my thesis that this is the most dangerous threat to the republic right now.
Because once you have 330 million people who cannot get reliable information, cannot get it, all right, then your democracy starts to fall apart because what do you vote on?
Correct.
What?
What?
You don't know what's happening because certain people are lying to you and other people are censoring and blocking information.
Now, there are a lot of loons out there, and I believe Facebook and the others have a right if there's lunacy and defamation and all of these other things to block, but they have to explain and they have to point it out, and they don't.
They don't have a right to do that if they're a platform.
If they say that they're editors, that's fine.
Then they have the right to block anything.
But they do not have the right to get the protection from the government as a platform and then also be editors.
They don't have that right.
Facebook's Right to Block Content00:03:13
I agree with that.
I agree with that.
Once you are involving the government, then you have to set a much higher standard.
But see, on my news service, billorilly.com and on the blaze, yours, we don't do defamation.
We'll block defamation.
Right, but we are because we're responsible for it, because we will be held responsible for it.
And that's fair.
If I'm an editor, then I should be held responsible for anything that I can control in a reasonable manner.
And so we watch comments and everything else.
We do everything we can.
Facebook gets the protection that they say we're not responsible for anything.
And then they edit.
You can't have it both ways.
Right.
Well, Australia's getting them.
All right, go ahead.
All right.
Hang on just a second.
We're going to come back.
I want to talk to you a little bit about the protests that are going on and get your feelings about that.
And we'll start back with Facebook, who is now banning anybody who says they want to protest.
Wow.
All right.
Our sponsor this half hour is Hustler Turf.
Man, I am telling you, it has been a man week for me.
I have been, I've been working on the barn.
I have been cutting trees down yesterday and trimming trees.
And then my hustler lawnmower.
I'm taking it out and cutting the lawn.
Yeah.
And the thing I like about it is not cutting the lawn.
It is just the, it's just the most manly lawnmower you could imagine.
I mean, it is just like, get out of my way.
The last lawnmower you are ever going to have to buy.
We are living in times now that you have to be smart.
You have to look for the right deals and the best prices on stuff.
But you buy once.
You buy the one that's going to last forever.
And that is a hustler lawnmower.
Hustler zero turf, zero turn lawnmowers.
They're made with American, they're made here in America, but with some global parts, just to be honest with you.
You can get an extended warranty and extra years coverage just by going to hustlerturf.com, clicking on the radio offer button at the top of the right-hand corner and entering my name Beck.
So an extra year of warranty just for using the promo code Beck.
But I want you to test this out.
I want you to go and read all about it, do your homework, because this is the last investment in a lawnmower that you will ever need to make.
It's hustlerturf.com.
Click the radio offer button, enter the promo code Beck.
10 seconds, station ID.
Okay, so Mark Zuckerberg is going after anybody who wants to protest the lockdowns by labeling them misinformation.
And they're going to ban all of those organizers from Facebook.
30% Defy Lockdowns00:14:58
Your thought on that and the protests that are going on.
What's really happening, Bill?
Well, I think that there are 30% of the American people, and I do believe that's probably an accurate number, who are defiers.
I call them defiers.
And we're not going to let the government lock us down.
We're going to go out.
We're going to make a living.
And if you try to stop us, we're going to protest or do whatever we have to do to get our point across.
I think it's a legitimate movement.
It should be covered in totality.
Why would you want to block that information from the American people?
Why?
What good is it?
I would disagree with you that they're just defiers.
I think these are people.
I mean, look, Texas is one of the freest states in the Union.
It has its own attitude.
I mean, it insists that it's a republic.
It's not a state.
I mean, it's, you know, Texas.
But we are the most compliant.
Studies are showing that we are the most compliant.
And I think that's because, for the most part, we're not being treated like babies.
And it's reasonable.
And nobody's trying to flex their muscle and make a point.
And I think part of this is because of the collapse in money and jobs and people want to go back to work.
But a big part of it is these wannabe dictators, these governors and mayors that are being absolutely unreasonable.
I think that's an excellent point you're making, Beck, because if you compare what's happening in Austin to what's happening in Lansing, Michigan, the capital of that state, you have Texas is just fairly reasonable, although the lieutenant governor of Texas, I don't want to get into him, but that's a little bit much for me.
But the governor and everybody else.
Being in Texas, being in Texas, I agree with everything our lieutenant governor is saying.
I'm glad I agree with that.
Then you won't have anybody shooting at you.
Then in Michigan, the governor says, oh, if you have another house, you can't drive to that house.
What?
Correct.
That's insane.
And if you want to plant a garden, you can't buy any seeds.
And I'm going, no, no.
So that's the difference.
So if I'm in Michigan, I'm protesting.
If I'm in Texas, I'm not.
And so that's what it's all about.
If you're reasonable, the American people will respond.
If you're not, they won't.
But there are some unreasonable people who don't think anything is in a pandemic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
We'll go back to the pandemic, and I really want to talk a little bit about politics and Joe Biden, what the Congress is doing.
What does the world look like if the Democrats take control in this next election?
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
I got to tell you, RecTech is the best.
This is a grill.
I mean, I told you, I've been having a man week.
Yesterday, I was jam-packed with recording that I had to do and shows and interviews and everything else.
And I had like an hour in between.
Then I had to go, you know, do some work and cutting down some trees.
But what I did yesterday, got the steaks all ready, got everything ready to go, the meat, and wanted to smoke them.
Went out, prepared them, got them all ready.
In between jobs, I put it on the grill, went out, did my chainsaw work.
Yeah, like a man.
While it was smoking, came back in, ready to go.
Delicious.
This is so easy.
And it's just the best smoked meat you've ever had.
You can use it as a regular grill as well or a smoker.
It's just the best.

More with him in a second.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
It's Friday, which means from billoreilly.com, Mr. Bill O'Reilly giving us his take on the news of the week.
I want to talk a little bit about politics here.
Let me start with Stacey Abrams.
She is trying to box Joe Biden into picking her as the running mate by playing the social justice card.
Your thoughts on Stacy Abrams and Joe Biden and the vice presidential nomination.
I don't think she'll get it because she is hard to control.
And what presidential candidates want is somebody like Mike Pence, who, you know, you give the Mike an order, he goes out, and he does it.
John McCain learned the hard way with Sarah Palin.
Correct?
Yeah.
So I would compare Stacey Abrams to Sarah Palin, not in political terms.
Of course, different, but in personality, you're not going to be able to tell Ms. Abrams what to do.
So therefore, do you believe that if Joe Biden is the final nominee, which I'm still not convinced will happen, that this time the vice presidential nomination actually really does matter?
Because Joe is, yeah.
And so who should they pick or who do you think they'll pick?
Does the governor of Michigan really have a chance?
With Joe Biden, there's a chance that if he's elected, he'll just wander off and nobody can find him.
Right.
So that's a joke.
That's right.
Now you're going to get bailed.
But I believe it.
No, I believe it, man.
They'll be like, where is the president?
Where is the president?
He had a hat on.
But anyway, sure, because he's old and he's in decline.
I think those are facts, not opinions.
So who's ever the second has got to be groomed, got to be up and ready?
So I thought it would be Whitmer until she blew up the whole state of Michigan.
So I think everybody noticed that.
So now I'm looking at the, he has to go with a woman, and I'm looking at the field and I'm going, maybe Klobuchar.
You know, she looks to be the most steady of the crew.
Yes.
Yes.
But will they do that?
I mean, they don't seem steady right now.
I mean, all of the things that are coming out.
Yeah, I mean, Klobuchar is in good standing with the Democratic Party.
She is not a far-left individual, but a committed liberal.
She won't buck the party on anything.
And so if they want open borders, Amy'd go along.
You know what I mean?
She's a go-along person.
So, yeah, I don't think that would be a problem if they decide on her.
What is your idea of how this is going to play with the American people when the Democrats are backing the WHO?
They're coming out with real socialist issues.
They have, you know, they blocked the aid.
We're trying to get aid for illegal aliens, all this kind of stuff.
How is this going to play in the general election?
Anybody going to be even remembering it?
It all has to do with the virus right now because we're talking about distracted people, not people that are listening to the Glenn Beck program and going to BillO'Reilly.com.
We're talking about people who don't engage, and what they want is an end to this virus.
So with that in mind, I had an interesting conversation with a very high-level government official this week, who will remain an office.
I don't want to embarrass the person.
And I said, listen, I don't understand why the president and the crew doesn't get with the psychology of the American people.
They want relief.
They want their morale lifted.
They don't want a three-hour presentation where you're telling them maybe you want to sip a little Clorox.
That's not doing you any good.
So please open professional sports on May 15th.
Have the major league baseball teams play in the spring training stadiums, no fans.
And the NHL and NBA play in their arenas, no fans.
Broadcast the games on television or radio.
Test the players every three days.
Is that hard?
Am I a genius for suggesting that?
No.
That would raise the morale of everyone in this country.
It would also get the economy in that area back.
You would sell advertising.
People would be working with masks.
Fine.
Have them in hazmut suits.
I don't care.
Do that.
These are the things you have to do, all right, to raise the morale of the country.
But I'm talking to walls here.
I really am, and I'm stunned about it.
So Stu asked me before the top of the hour, before we began, he said, Glenn, I'm taking a personal poll.
Do you think the Super Bowl is going to be played on time with the same kind of crowd the way it normally happens?
Now, this is in February of next year.
I don't think it will.
Your thoughts?
Well, it's speculative play.
I mean, you know, if I had a bet, I would say the game will be played.
I think there's going to be some kind of medical breakthroughs here that are going to make it easier to get back to normal.
I mean, I'm praying for that, but the evidence seems to suggest that they're doing pretty good work here.
Maybe they don't get a perfect vaccine, and I know there will be people who don't take it, and that's your right not to take it.
Nobody's going to force you to take it.
But I think that, you know, the medical people are going to save us.
The politicians are not going to save us.
It'll be the medical people.
Yeah.
The Democrats are still expecting an in-person convention.
Is that going to happen?
I think it'll be a mini-convention.
If there's some kind of mitigation between now and July, they'll need a month.
They'll kind of mini it down, but they do need some exposition.
Both parties do to engage people, engage the voters, so that you can do things like that.
It's just like the major league baseball stuff.
You can do it on a smaller level and protect people.
We have the technology to do it.
And so that's what I think you'll see.
What does Donald Trump need to do to fight what is coming when we have unemployment numbers come out at the beginning of the month where we'll see 15% unemployment, the economy, we're going to really be struggling this summer as we get back onto our feet?
And you know the media, as soon as COVID's over, they're going to blame him for all of the problems in the economy, and suddenly they'll care about people that aren't working.
What does he need to do to connect with the average person so they just don't hear that crap?
Well, he needs to get some wins, and the sports thing would be the start of that.
He needs to get some wins.
But I don't believe that most of the American people are going to hold Donald Trump responsible for the COVID unemployment.
I don't believe that.
I do believe you're correct that the media will try to shove that down everybody's throat, but I don't think most people will.
And in the face of weak opposition, because the Democrats' opposition is weak, no matter who they put up there, now that Michelle Obama has taken herself out, Biden or Andrew Cuomo, the only two viable candidates, neither of them have a built-in charisma like Barack Obama had in order to take on Trump, who does have charisma, whether you like him or not.
But I'm increasingly frustrated that the president isn't seeing the big picture here, that he has to be the leader and he has to give people hope and he has to give people what he can give them.
Open up to sports.
That's a start.
And then go down the line of what we can do to make the country better.
He seems to be wrapped up in the I didn't do it syndrome.
You see what I mean, Beck?
It's all about I didn't do it.
You're accusing me of doing I didn't get beyond that.
The media is never, no matter how many facts you present, going to report accurately or fairly about President Trump.
So now he has to take the initiative and give people hope.
And if he does that and the virus subsides by summer, which I believe it will, he'll win.
If he doesn't do it and it's chaos, he'll lose.
Let me add, final question.
I read your op-ed on, you know, global government and what the left is really celebrating right now and how they're trying to use this pandemic, and I agree 100%.
Roman's Health & Global Government00:03:36
And what does, is it hyperbole to say that if the Democrats take control, that we never recover and are the America that we were founded as?
No.
If the Democrats win the White House and both houses of Congress, you only have one thing that will save the country, and that's the Supreme Court.
But the vision of the Democratic Party as it stands now is to wipe out traditional America and Judeo-Christian tenets.
Wipe them off the face of the earth.
That is what they want to do.
Open borders, progressive education, abortion for any reason at any time, a socialist economy.
It goes on and on.
And Americans, I don't understand the danger of that.
That you could have, in 10 years, a completely different country.
And I think that the Trump administration does not make that very clear.
Now, they can't do it in the middle of a pandemic, but certainly they can run on that.
Is that the country you want?
You want these people?
That's a pretty powerful message, Beck.
BillO'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.
Thank you, Bill.
We'll see if you've been banned for sensitive issues that they won't define again next week.
No, no, no.
And by the way, Beck is on billo'reilly.com, no spin news Tuesday, discussing his fabulous new book.
Am I going to be on your show?
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I didn't know that.
But you are, Bill.
That's fantastic.
No spin news on Tuesday.
Wow.
Wow.
I can't wait to be a guest.
Yeah.
Okay.
Bring it on, brother.
Thank you so much, Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.

All right, if you're one of the 52% of guys that at some point in their lives go through erectile dysfunction, you probably don't want to deal with that.

Idaho's Suicide Crisis vs. Shutdown Costs00:03:16
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
It's Friday.
You want to spend some time today trying to figure out what should open, when you could open, et cetera, et cetera.
Go to restartnow.io.
Stu, we should do something on this maybe next week and go through these states.
It's pretty amazing.
If you look at Michigan now, they have lost $19 billion.
454,000 jobs have been lost.
They've had 188 suicides and 2,813 COVID deaths.
If they end the shutdown now, that's what will happen.
If they end the shutdown in 30 days, it will be $40 billion lost, so double the amount of money, $893,732 jobs lost, and an increased suicide rate of 369.
They won't begin to recover until around January of next year, if they wait another 30 days.
The question is, you know, is almost 3,000 people worth $20 billion?
Yes.
Another 400,000 jobs lost and 369 suicides.
I know.
I mean, that's a tough decision.
The bottom line is, of course, it's important to think about the trade-offs of all of these decisions.
Yes.
And the media wants to treat you as if you're a hate monger for thinking that maybe some businesses should open up and people should be able to, you know, have a livelihood.
It's not like that.
Like one of our trade-offs to all these things.
Yeah, like one of the one of the ones we were talking about yesterday was Idaho.
You know, I picked Michigan because that's a hard one.
I mean, they're still in the throes of some really bad things.
But if you look at Idaho, they will have, if they ended it right now, they'd have 51 additional COVID deaths.
51.
They've lost $2.8 billion now.
They will have lost, if they ended in 30 days, $6 billion.
They've lost 79,000 jobs.
They'll have lost 158,000 jobs and 63 increased suicides.
So more people will die from suicide than from COVID.
They should open Idaho now.
At least we should balance all of the factors.
You know, when you're losing more people to suicide because you keep closed than you are on COVID deaths, it's at least reasonable to have the conversation.
More conversations coming up about Michigan, where they are destroying the woman who came out for Donald Trump.
Balancing Suicide and COVID Factors00:15:50
wanted to help her state next hello America it It's Friday.
Even though Friday doesn't still have the same kind of ring as it used to, you're like, really?
It's Friday?
Yeah, it's Friday.
So we got to go home and spend more time with the family.
Just not completely different than what you've been doing all week.
Anyway, we've got a great hour jam-packed for you.
We have Ted Nugent coming on.
We're going to talk about the food supply.
We're also going to, you know what, we're going to start in Detroit.
We're going to start with a very, very brave Democrat who is just being destroyed because she wanted to speak her truth.
I thought that's what the Democrats are all about.
Your own individual truth.
No, apparently not.
We'll talk to her and find out what's going on in her world in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Pain in the body is generally caused by inflammation in the body, and it can drive you literally almost to madness.
It'll drive you sometimes to depression and suicidal thoughts, and that is truly madness.
But you just can't take the pain anymore, and it just clouds your thinking, and you just can't do it.
If you're in that place, if you've been fighting with narcotics and you don't want to take them or you're on them and you want to get off them, but you can't take the pain, please, will you just try Relief Factor?
Try it for three weeks.
See if it will work for you.
It reduces the inflammation in our body and it's not something that I thought would work.
Geez, my wife just looked at me yesterday with those.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, maybe you should listen to me some more.
I just found another thing that she's been telling me about forever.
And I just had it yesterday.
And I was like, this is fantastic.
She's like, uh-huh.
Yeah, I know.
Anyway, Relief Factor.
I didn't think it would work.
My wife said, please, just try it.
So may I be your wife for a minute?
Please, just try it.
You don't have anything to lose.
Try the three-week quick start.
It's out 20, you'll be out 20 bucks if it doesn't work.
But you get your life back if it does work.
Relief Factor, it works for me.
ReliefFactor.com or call 800-500-8384-800-500-8384.
relieffactor.com so if you've been listening over the last few weeks uh you might have heard state representative from michigan karen witsett she She's from Detroit.
She represents part of Detroit and Dearborn, which is really in really dire need and bad shape.
And she got the coronavirus.
She happened to hear Donald Trump say, you know, you should maybe try hydroxychloroquine.
And she did.
She got her doctor to prescribe it.
Now, that was against the governor who said, you can't prescribe that for this.
She got it in the hospital and she is recovered.
And she dared to say, thank you, Donald Trump.
Then she went to meet with him to tell the president about what's happening in Detroit and in her district.
Well, now the Democrats have said that she broke protocol by meeting with the president.
Wait, wait, wait.
So the president asks you to go meet with him and protocol is what?
You don't say yes?
You have to ask somebody else.
Are you not a thinking human being yourself?
Are you not an individual if you are a Democrat?
And the answer, I think, is no, you're not.
Listen to this.
They're having a meeting on, I think, tomorrow via Zoom.
They can do this, but they're going to censure Whitset for breaking protocol.
Now, this means she's not going to get the endorsement this year.
She won't be able to engage in the group's activities for the next two election cycles.
That's the Democratic party.
She's not going to be able to engage in the group activities for the next two election cycles.
The chairman of the organization said, at the end of the day, we have political systems.
We have political parties, and political parties exist for a reason.
They don't belong to themselves.
They belong to the members and the precinct delegates of the Democratic Party.
So I think what they're saying here is you're not a person.
You didn't get elected.
The party got elected.
And so you don't, you acquiesce and you do exactly what the party says.
Well, if that's not the exact opposite of what our republic stands for, you are a representative.
Why not just hire one person to just be their representatives for everyone if you're electing a party?
I thought we were electing people, but apparently not.
Karen is with us now, state representative from Detroit.
Karen Witson, how are you, Karen?
Every time I hear that, I have to laugh.
And excuse the echo in the background.
I am at the Capitol right now ready to cast my vote for the extension for the executive order on the governor.
And I will be voting with the Republican Party on that as well.
So once again, here I go putting everything in an uproar.
Jeez, you are on a death wish with the Democrats.
No, I'm on a truth wish.
I'm on a truth wish.
You know, it's just as simple as that.
And, you know, what really is so funny about this whole situation is that Jonathan Kenlock, the chairperson, actually works for the governor.
So you think this might be from the governor?
Oh, no, this is from the governor.
So since I threw her under the bus and I drove the bus over her, this is payback.
This is payback.
And I don't have a problem with that.
That's fine.
That's perfectly fine.
And as long as you're not doing your job and black lives are being lost in the city of Detroit, I will continue to throw you under the bus, drive it over you and drag you by your hair behind the bus because you need to do your job and stop crucifying the people in the northern part of Michigan for doing the stay-at-home order and not assisting the people in the southwest part of Detroit for being able to stay at home.
You're not assisting them to do so.
It doesn't even look like a pandemic is going on where I live at.
Because people are still going out.
They're going out.
They're having barbecues.
They're playing basketball.
The parks are still going on.
I mean, but you can't expect people to do something if they don't have the resources in order to do it.
If water is not on in your home, if your pipe has burst in your home, if you don't have food in your home, if you do not have a refrigerator, if you do not have a stove, if you do not have a washer and a dryer, if you do not have basic things that it takes to be in your home and your home is not pleasant, how can you stay there?
So what has she done for your portion of the state?
Nothing.
That's a good question.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Which is why I'm constantly complaining about her.
Why does she take the stands that she's taking now?
Do you think this is all about just trying to become the vice president?
This is all.
It's all about politics.
And I'm telling you, I honestly, honestly feel in my gut of guts from my praying on this.
I honestly feel that it was to make everything look okay in the state of Michigan, that the curve is flattened.
Go ahead, let people go back to it, start, you know, do the tear factor that the president of the United States wants to do.
Open up the state, do that.
Then, of course, the people who were not doing what needed to be done because they couldn't, which is down in the city of Detroit, would be the first people to start dying off again, which means we're going to go skyrocket right back up with death.
And she did not care that that blood would be on her hands.
She doesn't care.
But she gets to blame it on the president of the United States.
I did what you said.
So, I mean, if, are you, I just want to hear if I'm reading you right.
You, a cynical person would say that what you're saying is she's intentionally allowing your community, the black community, the poorest of the poor, to die so that could be raised as a national issue.
We're disposable.
We are disposable.
Holy cow.
There's no other way around it.
There's no other way to look at it.
You're going to keep this executive order in place on people who already live miles and miles apart from each other in the northern part of Michigan.
And people who are barely six houses are not even barely six feet away from each other that are in close proximity to one another, you're not assisting them to be able to stay in their home.
So you tell me, it's common sense to me.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
So let's talk about the help that you are receiving.
First of all, last time we spoke, you had met with the president and then hadn't heard anything for a couple of days.
Have you been in touch with the White House?
Have they done anything?
What is the result there?
Well, first off, I want to thank you and Mercury One and all of the donors and all of your listeners because of them, the difference has been made.
And you guys have me exhausted in a great way from all the running around all over the city of Detroit.
I just want you to know that meals have gone to community organizations.
Dabo, which is one of my local community organizations, that is Pastor Bishop Sheffield.
I'm so happy to be able to give things to him.
We have all of our local senior citizen buildings that are getting donations, receiving donations as well.
Our Wayne County Sheriff Department received all of the wonderful buckets from Home Depot, the disaster relief buckets, and so did our Detroit Police Department.
So on behalf of all of them, I want you to know that every single thing that you guys have done, everything that has been working, and it's been touching so many lives in the city.
So I want you to know I sincerely, sincerely appreciate you and all your listeners.
So thank you so very much.
You know, there's this lie that has been perpetrated that, you know, conservatives or whatever just hate black people and hate poor people and we don't care.
This is the most giving audience I have ever seen.
That is ridiculous for anyone to say.
That is so ludicrous.
That is just, I want to say other words, but I won't.
That is so ridiculous because my family is Democratic and Republican.
So, you know, an R or a D does not change who a person is.
You either are that way or you aren't that way.
And a party is not that way.
So right now I'm finding that the Democratic Party is the one that doesn't seem to care about people, but they're supposed to be the most genuine caring about people.
I'm not seeing it right now.
It's not evident to me.
Okay, so tell me about the federal help.
Has there been any federal help yet?
I have been in touch with the White House even as of last night.
So I'm very confident in what is coming.
We have been talks also about local clinics to be able to have those up and running within the area.
So I'm very confident in what will be coming from the president of the United States.
I believe that he believes in the things that I'm saying.
I know he needed to get his own truth and be able to look for things for himself.
And I respect that.
I appreciate that.
I don't want him to take my word for it.
Looking forward to those conversations that we're going to be having over the next few days and to be able to get things up and running.
So I do expect that to happen now.
Karen, has the president has said that even some of the mayors who are some of the governors who are tough and against him, he's been having a good working relationship with.
But do you think that's true?
Is the governor telling him what's going on and asking for the things that they need?
No, no.
And I will tell you, I've seen it for myself back with Katrina.
I was in Mississippi after Katrina and I've seen it with President Bush.
And what they did to him was just insane.
And I always said that if I ever got the opportunity, I would never allow this to happen to another president.
And what I saw with my own eyes, I saw that the very route when they knew the president was coming in to tour the city, they cleaned up everything that was on the route and moved it within three to four blocks so that he would not see what was going on.
Hear what I'm saying.
They cleaned it up and moved it.
The people within the state.
They cleaned it and moved it.
They didn't clean it up.
They just took it and dumped it three and four and five blocks away so that he would not see it.
To make him.
And you saw that with your own eyes.
I saw with my own eyes.
You're only as good as the people that you have on the ground that you can trust.
So the president is, of course, saying, hey, we're doing a great job.
We're doing wonderful things after Katrina.
Our people are on the ground and they're doing what needs to be done.
So of course he's saying that.
But I'm not about to allow this president of the United States to have to be able to say that about Detroit and not know that it's not a fact.
I'm not going to let him get screwed over because in the process, the people of the city of Detroit are going to be screwed over.
So yes, I'm going to speak up.
I'm going to speak out.
Trust the People on the Ground00:16:30
And I don't care how popular or unpopular it is.
I don't care.
You are just one of my favorite people in the country right now.
You are such a blessing.
Thank you so much, Karen, for not playing politics, for sticking to your values and helping us help the people of Detroit.
Thank you.
It's an honor to know you.
Really is.
No, it's an odd you and your listeners.
Thank you.
And once again, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I mean, that word is not big enough.
It really isn't for all that you and your listeners have done.
That word is not big enough.
Karen, God bless you.
Thank you.
Go vote and put the armor of God on because you are going to need it.
Thank you so much.
Karen Witsett, she's state rep from Michigan in Detroit, a Democrat who has had enough.
All right.
I want to talk to you about 1-800 Flowers because Mom's Day is right around the corner.
When is Mother's Day?
Stu, can you look that up?
I don't even know.
What month are we even in?
We're still in April.

I just don't even know.
I mean, nothing is.
That's a great point.
Sunday, May 10th is Mother's Day this year.
May 10th.

Thank you for this.
We've tried to do a good job and do some good investigative reporting.
If you missed the special on Wednesday, it's on demand.
Please watch it because there is a global movement and you're seeing some of these things happen in real time now.
And we'll go over some of those things on Monday.
But you're also seeing the silencing of voices.
We've been nailed by Facebook again, and they won't even tell us what we did.
I mean, how can we correct anything if we don't know what we did?
Why are you doing this to us?
They won't give us an answer.
The answer is, I think, we don't play ball with the people that they want to play ball with.
We are not globalists.
We are not people that believe in big government.
We don't believe in the WHO.
I mean, sorry.
I have evidence to show you, and I have, and you keep that evidence from the American people.
Well, what am I going to do about it?
It is more important than ever that we stay in contact, direct contact.
Our radio stations are here today and we thank God for them.
But regulation could come back.
God only knows what could happen.
And boycotts happen all the time as well.
And that limits our ability to broadcast and to talk to you.
That's why we've developed Blaze TV because we are only beholden to you, the subscriber.

How are you, sir?
I'm doing so good at Stupid Glenn.
Happy springtime in spite of the world around us.
God bless you, sir.
Yeah.
So, you know, Ted, I've been thinking about you as we look at our food problems.
I think we're headed, the world is headed toward real famine, I think, in the next eight to 12 months because of the locusts and now COVID, everything.
And we're just in real trouble.
Why do you look this way?
If you're watching us on Blaze TV, Ted's just kind of rolling his eyes like, yeah, I know, I know.
Go ahead, speak up.
We've talked about this before.
I'm just a guitar player, but I learned from my first ice storm in Michigan around 1950 that you have to be prepared.
And I got to tell you, the hunters and the fishermen, the trappers, the real conservationists, the real environmentalists across this country, we're not running out of fish.
It's turkey season.
There are millions of turkeys hitting the ground.
These are pure organic, renewable, precious, delicious turkeys.
People are catching fish by the billions.
I literally communicate with people, not just in all 50 states, but across Canada and all over Europe.
There are still rugged individuals, even in places where it's against the law.
So we are self-sufficient and we're helping out.
Just the Nugent family, just the goofy guitar player with a bow and arrow, I donated over a ton of pure venison to soup kitchens and homeless shelters.
Just me, my wife Shimaine and I, but we donate 250 million pure meals of venison to soup kitchens and homeless shelters every year with the Hunters for the Hungry program.
My point is, if there's plenty of squirrels and rabbits and ducks and geese and doves and pheasants and grouse and woodcock and deer and antelope and bear and cougar steaks, there's plenty for everybody.
So I welcome everybody to come to huntthevote.org, huntthevote.org, and not only learn to be self-sufficient, but to register and vote because that's the largest non-tap voting block of conservative Godfamily country values in America.
Ted, you'll know.
I've been trying to think, is it Michigan?
There's a state now that has said you can't go fishing because of COVID.
You can't, if you're out of a job, you have no money, and you live in a rural area where you are used to hunting, you can't hunt or fish.
Where is that in the Constitution?
How can you possibly stop people from feeding their family?
Glenn, are you trespassing on truth, logic, and common sense?
Are you questioning that would stop us from planting a garden?
I am.
This is insane.
I come from Michigan, once the number one hunting state in the world, and you've seen what has happened to it.
But there's still great conservation families in Michigan all across this country.
But here's a little Uncle Ted tech tip for you.
It's like the Concord Bridge and the King's Punks are coming to take my guns.
So me and my buddies will meet them at Concord Bridge and we'll shoot them between the eyes.
I'd like to meet the human being who thinks they can tell Ted Nugent I can't go fishing in the springtime.
I'll rip them savagely with my fishing pole and then I'll go fishing.
No human can tell me I can't eat squirrel this year.
This is, well, first of all, squirrel.
I mean, I will tell you, when I first moved when I first moved to Louisville, Kentucky, I had Kentucky burgoo and it was great.
I'd never had burgundy.
It was great.
And somebody said, no, where'd you have it?
And I told them they said, oh, no, you haven't had real Kentucky burgu.
Went down, ate a bowl, and it was delicious.
And I said, this is so good.
And what is this, beef?
And they said, no, that's squirrel.
Now, you know, Glenn, that people are coming to the Ted Nugent conservation hands-on reverence for God's renewable protein.
The hunting lifestyle, hunting and fishing is perfect conservation.
It's perfect environmentalism.
And it's the healthiest diet in the world.
Glenn, I'm 72 years old this year and I'm cocked locked in the fishing stock because I eat squirrels and woodchucks and ducks and geese and rabbits and deer.
It's the perfect diet and people criticize it and they're actually animal rights idiots who want to end the perfect conservation and the perfect so I perfect diet.
So I will kill extra animals just for the animal rights idiots.
First of all, I'm shocked that you're 72.
I was just looking at you going, man, you just look so healthy and so young.
And then I not even think, I mean, you look easy, 40 or 50.
You really do.
I had some sleep, I'd be downright handsome.
I'll tell you that right now.
But I'm really.
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
I live a hands-on self-sufficiency lifestyle.
All my sons and daughters, my brother, my sister, all my band, my crew, everybody is so tuned in to providing for themselves and their families and sharing it with our neighbors.
We've talked about this before.
The hunting lifestyle is the last perfect self-sufficiency, environmentally friendly lifestyle.
And I just hope that the hunters across this country, especially my blood brothers in Michigan, I hope we start voting God family country freedom because Gretchen Whitmer's get in when we don't.
I will tell you, Ted, I asked Bill O'Reilly today if he thought it was hyperbole to say, if the Republicans lose the White House and Congress, we are, I don't think it's hyperbole to say America as we know it, the Bill of Rights Constitution is gone.
It's just gone.
Look how much we've lost just from the coronavirus.
And they keep talking about we're going to go to a, we're going to have a new normal.
I don't want a new normal.
I don't want a new normal.
I want what's guaranteed in the Constitution.
That's what I want.
And that's what you're going to get if we get the apathetic amongst us to re-engage in this blood and guts earned experiment in self-government.
It's not the liberals that are winning.
It's the apathetic conservatives that aren't voting.
And Michigan is the prime example.
It was the greatest state in the world, and it still has the greatest people in the world.
I really believe that.
But now we have politicians and bureaucrats that are so corrupt, so, you know, they use the word progressive.
By the way, that's not progressive.
That's regressive.
You're going back to tyranny and kings and despots and slave drivers and control.
So I think we need to get huntthevote.org, huntthevote.org.
We're going to finally register the demographic that we won in 2016, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
We got those hunting families, those conservative God-family country families to vote.
And look what we did.
Now, if we do that nationwide, we could beat this enemy at the door.
I'm convinced of it, Glenn.
Huntthevot.org?
Yep, it's a great organization.
Donald Trump Jr. is this your organization?
Did you start it?
Tell me, I don't know anything about it.
It's brand new.
It's been going on for about a month now.
We've already got thousands of people registered that were heretofore not registered.
And I love my friends in Michigan, but they went and protested because the enemy is in the capital.
If they would have voted, it would have been quality control instead of protesting damage control.
It's really that simple.
And Hunt the Vote does what besides just getting hunters registered?
We get the conservative families.
You know, if anybody represents God family country, it's farmers and ranchers and conservationists and hunters and fishermen.
We're in touch with God's miraculous renewable creation that provides life itself from his renewable pantry.
It's like right away, what in what equals two.
Who doesn't know this stuff?
But we're finally getting these people who have not, we have the statistics.
An embarrassing single digit percentage of licensed hunting families vote.
A single digit percentage.
Yes, we've got the statistic from all 50 states.
They don't vote.
And we've got to get them registered.
And we're not going to tell them who to vote for, but we're going to tell them it should be God, family, country, traditional American values that the hunting, fishing, conservation families represent.
Holy cow.
Why Hunters Don't Vote00:03:34
That is shocking, especially with the number of voters.
And you know what voters, voters generally are not with the let's violate the Bill of Rights kind of ideas.
I don't know who they'd vote for for a president or whatever, but if they vote on their values, their values are lockstep with conservatives.
Ted, thank you so much.
Yeah, go ahead.
And God bless you.
I bring you a big thank you from those conservatives.
God bless you for blowing the whistle, my friend.
Thank you.
We'll talk to you again.
Just try not to say crazy stuff all the time.
We want you around for a long time.
Wait, what did he just say?
I missed it.
All right.
Ted Nugent, thank you so much.
Hunt thevote.org.
Okay.
Our sponsor, this half hour.
We are thrilled to have all of our sponsors.
And if you hear an ad anywhere that I'm endorsing or this station is carrying, these are the people that keep our voices on broadcast.
And we really thank them.
And if they have a product that you appreciate or that you need, please at least check them out.
Do your homework and get the right deal.
But check these sponsors out because they are standing with you.
All right.
Real estate agents I trust.
This is my company, full disclosure, something that I started with my brother, Robert.
He's like my brother.
We grew up together and he lived with our family growing up.
And we have the same kind of values.
We came from the same mean streets of Bellingham, Washington.
And we've both had problems, as I think everybody does.
You don't know who to hire when it comes to real estate agents.
I don't know what makes one better than the other.
I just want one that's going to get the job done.
Right now, if you are looking at selling your house or buying a house, you better have the best agent you can find.
You got to have somebody who has the right values, who knows the market, who knows your neighborhood, who knows how to price your house, and has a system of advertising, if you will, that will get your house seen so it will sell fast and for the most amount of money.
Well, we have done a nationwide search and we've got about 1,500 real estate agents.
They don't work for me.
We just are a referral service.
It's free to you.
But we put them through a test and we scrutinize everything about them.
And if they fit into our way of doing business, which we think is the best real estate agent, then we pass them on to you.
It's a free service.
You got to do your own homework.
But please, if you are going to sell your home, you need the best and you need to do it right now.

Upcoming Global Food Shortages00:04:06
We're glad you're here.
Excuse me.
Sorry, just a little COVID-17.
I haven't made it all the way to 19 yet.
There's a problem, and Ted and I talked about it just a minute ago, just a little bit, on food shortages.
I want you to know that the next big crisis that the world is going to face is famine.
And there's a real, real problem that is coming.
And I don't want you to be surprised by it.
I don't want you to be underprepared for it.
But there is going to be a problem for seeding and harvesting of food, not only in this country, but all around the world.
And so you're going to see things be a little more expensive, perhaps, or harder to get.
We're going to see things in our supermarkets we've never seen before, except in a bad way.
We've always seen things that you're like, wow, everything.
You can get everything at any time.
We're going to start seeing more and more empty shelves.
And that is because the entire world is going to have problems.
We should not panic and we shouldn't food hoard, you know, go out and be crazy.
But you should have extra food as you're going along your business and your shopping.
Make sure that you are looking for the future.
One of the things that we're going to first feel is a shortage of meat.
And it will come back online quickly.
As soon as they open up some of these processing plants, that shortage will dissipate quickly.
But right now, a lot of our meat processing plants and food processing plants are going down because they're people that are working in close proximity and they're getting sick.
And so they're shutting them down.
And pork and beef are going to be more and more difficult to get here in the coming weeks.
So have some extra in your freezer if you can.
The other thing is, if you have the space, I'm not a gardener.
My wife is not a gardener.
We're not.
I've never understood when you can just go to the store and get it, why you would want to spend time out in the sun with the bugs and everything else.
But I'm kind of alone on that one now in my family.
And we're planting a garden.
And I recommend that if you have the land, you become as self-sufficient as possible.
We're going to have to start remembering some of the lessons that our grandparents taught us.
If your grandparent, like mine, happened to be in World War II and lived through the Depression, you know that that was so scary that even at the end of their life, 40 years after the Depression was over, they still were saving absolutely every scrap and nothing went to waste.
We are looking at a global situation and hopefully it won't be as bad here, but it depends on the things we do.
But we are looking at a global situation that I think is going to shape an entire generation.
Those who are going to live through the next five years are going to be much more like our grandparents were.
Prepare yourself.
That's what they're claiming is a new normal.
I don't ever want that to be normal.
I refuse to accept that as our normal.
It's a brief period of time that we're going through to get back to who we really are, rights and all.
