Glenn Beck says older Americans should return to work: “Even if we all get sick, I would rather die than kill the country” Beck: “I would rather have my children stay home and all of us who are over 50 go in and keep this economy going” Written by Media Matters Staff Published 03/24/20 7:09 PM EDT Video file Citation From the March 24, 2020, edition of BlazeTV's The Glenn Beck Program GLENN BECK (HOST): 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 your 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 would rather die than kill the country. 'Cause it's not the economy that's dying, it's the country.
